Commissioning
Installation 1
st
Stage
The installer needs to install the system wiring in the form of 2-core and screen loops returning to the control
panel.
The cabling should be 2-core 1.5mm
2
, screened and fire resistant, of FP200 equivalent type. 4-core cable
must not be used as a loop ‘feed & return’ due to the possibility of data corruption.
The loop should be left as a complete loop with no devices connected, and must be tested and documented
for conductor continuity and for insulation integrity, with a high voltage tester as required for general electrical
installations. If using legacy Sita Multipoint detectors, use the shorting links provided within each base to
provide continuity in the positive core.
The control panel back box should be mounted, with the mains supply tested, connected and isolated at the
un-switched fused spur, ready for the commissioning engineer.
The installer needs to provide a set of
As-Wired
drawings, completed
configuration sheets
and proof of
loop continuity and insulation test readings
etc., to enable commissioning to proceed. This information is
essential for commissioning and programming to proceed, and may be entered onto the forms provided at
the rear of the manual.
Installation 2
nd
Stage
Once the commissioning engineer is satisfied with the continuity / integrity of the loop, the devices may be
installed, as in the next section.
NB.
Ensure that the next section, ‘Initialisation’, is read and understood before the devices are installed.
Initialisation
The addressable device loops may now be initialised. This is when the control panel interrogates the loops
one device at a time, for type, serial number and position, before allocating a loop address number.
Initialisation is carried out from the control panel keypad by utilising one of the three loop initialisation
commands located within the Access Level 3 (Engineer) menu.
The system can only indicate faults present when the loop is fully initialised. If the initialisation fails then you
will need to find faults manually. You may run the initialisation backwards by reversing the loop connections,
or one ended by removing one end of the loop. You may also use the CIE-A-200 OSP software to identify
which devices have been found and initialised. Noting how far the device count on the control panel screen
reached will indicate many faults, such as open or short circuit. Furthermore the sounders may be operated
from the control panel to indicate which devices are operational, or the LEDs may be switched on using the
appropriate Fike Loop Diagnostic software.
Please note that even though this panel does not support spurs, the control panel will still check for their
presence.
