Stop Loop
This function performs a complete shutdown of every device on the loop. To ensure that every device
is properly shutdown, it is important to stop the loop before removing power from the loop. If this is
not done, it may cause random faults and stoppages during subsequent initialisation. The loop must
also be stopped before removing/adding/replacing devices. Should problems occur during
initialisation, stop the loop and wait for approximately five minutes before initialising the loop again.
The previously improperly shutdown device should reboot successfully.

Initialize Loop
This function instructs the control panel to perform its addressable circuit initialisation, or to auto learn
the loop devices. Previous loop configuration data is overwritten. It starts this process from Circuit
End 1 and collects data on device type, position & serial number, and allocates a Device Address.
Please note that even though this panel does not support spurs, the control panel will still check for
their presence. Always wait at least 3 minutes between stopping a loop and reinitialising.

Get Configuration From Device
The control panel processor memory holds all the system configuration and programming details.
Certain aspects such as device description, zoning and ‘cause & effect’ are operated from that point.
However, whilst individual device attributes such as smoke mode, heat mode, sound pattern and
volume are stored in the control panel, they need to be stored in the processor memory within the
device to be operational. The get configuration command collects the configuration from the loop
devices to be stored at the control panel.

Reconfigure Devices
The control panel processor memory holds all the system configuration and programming details.
Certain aspects such as device description, zoning and
‘cause & effect’ are operated from that point.
However, whilst individual device attributes such as smoke mode, heat mode, sound pattern and
volume are stored in the control panel, they need to be stored in the processor memory within the
device to be operational. This is carried out with the reconfigure command, which sends out all the
relevant data to the loop devices.
Note that the system should always be re-configured after a PC download from the OSP, and then
the system should be reset using the ‘reset’ button. If this is not carried out the system may give a
Configuration Data Error fault.

OSP Devices Programmed
This function allows the user to view the loop devices programmed and compare with the loop devices
present.

Number Of Devices Last INIT
This function allows the user to check the number of devices initialised on the system.
This can be compared with the site information to check all the devices have been initialized by the
panel.
