FireNET FN-DAC Digital Alarm Communicator I & O Manual - v 1.0
Note #1 – Addresses are reported to 254 per loop because Analog Sounder Bases may be used, which
occupy the higher loop addresses of 128 - 254.
Note #2 – Address 999 is the highest available due to reporting format limitations. Analog Sounder
Bases addressed higher than 999 (Loop 4, addresses 237) will not report correctly
.
These addresses
must not be used.
NOTE
- The combination of analog addressable points derived from sensors, modules
and sounder bases cannot exceed 800 addresses and sub-addresses maximum per
FireNET control panel.
Some advantages of address reporting are:
•
May be more suitable for large, multi-panel reporting when using Contact ID
•
Less programming time may be required, as devices do not need to be
assigned to zones for reporting purposes
Things to be aware of when using address reporting:
•
Modules with sub-addresses will report as the master address (for example, a
DIMM at address 32 will report both inputs as address 32)
•
Panel and serial I/O will report according to zone assignment.
•
If using SIA format, the panel address is not reported. On a multi-panel
network, each panel will use the same address reporting scheme, which may
make it difficult for the monitoring station to determine at which panel the event
originated.
•
Analog Sounder Bases must not be used above address 237 on loop 4.
