Connecting FastSense25 to an addressable FACP
An Addressable Protocol Interface Card (APIC) may be used to decode detector information and to relay this to
a FACP.
The APIC is fitted to the four mounting studs on the FastSense 25 PCB using the sup-plied screws as shown
below:
The connections to the Fire Panel are made using the BUS L1 and H1 (bus 1 input and output) and the BUS L2
and H2 (bus 1 input and output) terminal connectors shown in Section 7.1.4.
The only settings that need to be made are on the APIC address DIP switches. The start loop address Is
entered on SW1 and the end loop address on SW2. In the case of a single FastSense 25 the start and end
addresses will be the same.
The detector address on the SenseNET loop and the Fire Panel addressable protocol address are the same, i.e.
no address translation is performed. Some protocols may not sup-port all the available alarm levels and fault
reporting is usually a general fault with no detailed fault information. Please consult the specific APIC protocol
documentation for more information.
