Repeater I/O
The Fire Panel provides a monitored RS485 bus that allows for up
to 3 passive repeater panels to be connected to it . The repeater
panels have their own power supplies so no power connection
is required from the Fire Panel . Each repeater panel must be
assigned a unique address using the DIP switches provided on the
repeaters .
When the Fire Panel is first powered up or after a hard reset it
will scan the RS485 bus for any repeaters connected . The panel
will briefly flash the Zone Fault indicators to show the number of
repeaters it has found . Below is a table of what these indications
mean .
It is important to note this during installation to ensure that the
panel has found the correct number of repeaters .
Once the repeaters have been found the Fire Panel will broadcast
all status information to them so that they will mirror the indicator
and buzzer states of the Fire Panel . The Fire Panel expects to
receive a response from each repeater, if at any time a repeater
stops responding for more than 60 seconds then the Fire Panel
will start to flash the “Repeater Fault” indicator .
