$,) D APPENDIX A (%.)A.1 CorrelationsSetup and configuration of an addressable system is different than a conventional system.In a conventional system, assignment of input devices (smoke detectors, pull stations, heatdetectors, etc.) to zones is accomplished through wiring. The wiring is direct from clearlymarked panel terminals to any device assigned to a particular zone. Connection of outputdevices (horns, bells, strobes, etc.) in a conventional system is accomplished by directwiring of the output devices to Notification Appliance Circuit terminals.In an addressable system, a minimum of a single pair of wires (SLC communication loop)is used to connect all addressable input and output devices. Communications between theFACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel) and all addressable devices takes place over the wirepair which originates from the FACP. Software programming is used to configure thesystem as opposed to direct wiring. Zone assignments are created via software means,hence the term software zones.Setup of an Unimode 9600 software zone is accomplished by panel programming. Eachaddressable device can be assigned to a maximum of five software zones. Each softwarezone, however, may have from 1 to 99( addressable input devices assigned to it and from 1to 99( addressable output devices assigned to it.Monitor and control modules comprise one group of 99( addresses, with each modulehaving a unique address from 1 to 99(. Detectors comprise a separate group of 99(addresses, each detector having a unique address from 1 to 99( in its group. Be careful notto duplicate addresses within any one group (modules and detectors). Refer to thefollowing page for an example of zoning.In the example on the following page:• Zone 01 has the following addressable devices assigned to it:✓ SD350 smoke detectors with addresses 01 and 02✓ MMF-300 monitor module with address 01✓ MMF-302 monitor module with address 02 and 03✓ CMF-300 control modules with addresses 05, 06, 07, 09 and 13• Zone 02 has the following addressable devices assigned to it:✓ MMF-302 monitor module with addresses 02 and 03✓ CP350 smoke detectors with addresses 03 and 04✓ CMF-300 control modules with addresses 08, 09 and 10• Zone 03 has the following addressable devices assigned to it:✓ SD350 smoke detectors with addresses 05, 06 and 07✓ MMF-302 control module with address 04✓ CMF-300 control modules with addresses 09, 11 and 12The example points out some of the key assignment features of the Unimode 9600.Addresses of detectors are not duplicated. Addresses of monitor and control modules arenot duplicated. The control module with address 09 is assigned to three software zones(providing floor above and floor below). Be careful to properly plan the installation priorto installing any devices.(CLIP or Classic Loop Interface Protocol devices (modules and detectors) can only haveunique addresses of 1 to 99. Newer modules can have unique addresses of 1 to 159 whichmeans each zone can have up to 159 input and output devices assigned to it.
