Eaton FX6100 Installation And Operation Manual

14 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL 25-16329-B December 2019 www.eaton.comSection 1: System installation and designcontrol panel will automatically scan the detection loop and allocate each devicewith an address number corresponding with its position on the loop, this avoidsthe traditional need for manual addressing of the system devices which is timeconsuming and provides a potential for errorA major innovation with the Panel is the ability to incorporate spurs of analoguedevices which are fed from the loop by utilising a spur isolatorWhenever the panel detects a spur, it breaks from allocating address numbers to theloop wired devices, allocates address numbers to each of the devices on the spur insequence and then continues to address the devices on the main loopEvery analogue device incorporates an integral short circuit isolator ensuringmaximum system integrity A single short circuit will not disable any loop-mounteddevices, the isolators in the devices each side of the short circuit will operate and thecontrol panel will drive communication from both ends of the loopThe spur isolator also incorporates a short circuit isolator such that in the event ofa short circuit on the spur, the integrity of the main loop will not be compromisedPlease refer to local standards e g BS5839 Pt1:2002 for details of the maximumallowable are to be covered by a single spurSimple future expansionThe Panel is designed to ensure simplicity of future expansionIf an additional device is added after the system has been programmed, the Panelwill allocate the next available address, it will not alter any of the existing addressnumbers allocation thus enabling simple updating of as fitted drawings etcSimilarly if a device is removed, the relevant address is saved as a spare address forfuture use, the addresses of the remaining devices are not alteredMultiple languagesThe Panel supports a large number of languages as standard
