Post March 2014 Loop Cards
Post March 2014 Loop Cards are:
VIG-LPC-EN (for use in Vigilon 4-6 loop panels only)
COMPACT-LPC-EN (for use in Vigilon Compact panel only)
Condition of use
The Loop Cards (VIG-LPC-EN and COMPACT-LPC-EN) must never be
fi
tted as a replacement card in a Vigilon
panel where 3400 devices are installed on its loop circuits.
The post March 2014 Loop card (VIG-LPC-EN or COMPACT-LPC-EN) can only be used as a replacement card for Older Build
Loop card (VIG-LPC or COMPACT-LPC) where S4 and S3 Mark 1/2 devices or 34000 devices are installed on the loop circuit.
Up to 2Km loop length is possible with 1.5mm² cable with S4 and S3 Mark 1/2 devices installed on a loop circuit. In this case a
rough method for calculating the loop load and loop cable length is shown in part 2 of this document. Both parts 1 and 2 of this
document can be downloaded by registered user of Gent Expert forum. For precise loop load and battery standby calculation
use the ‘Battery Standby and Loop load calculator’ tool.
Up to 1Km loop length is possible with 1.5mm² cable where 34000 devices or a mix of 34000, S4 and S3 Mark 1/2 devices
are installed on a loop circuit. For a precise loop load and battery standby calculation use the ‘Battery Standby and Loop load
calculator’ tool.
