AFP-3030 Installation Manual — P/N DOC-01-031:F 19/11/2018 15Connecting the Loop Control and Expander Modules Installation3.5 Connecting the Loop Control and Expander Modules3.5.1 Mounting InstructionsMount loop control and expander modules within the cabinet with the CPU. Typical mounting positions are in the row immediatelybelow the fire panel. Follow the basic chassis-mounting instructions given for option boards. Loop-expander modules are mounted first;Loop-control modules are mounted on top of those. Alternately, loop-control and loop-expander modules can be attached to each otherand mounted as a pair to the chassis. See Figure 3.5 for connection instructions, connector locations and stand-off lengths.If using loop control and expander modules in CHS-4L see Figure 3.6.After all loop-control and loop-expander modules are mounted in the cabinet, connect the SLC loops to TB1 on each loop-control andloop-expander module as shown in Figure 3.8. Daisy-chain the loop-control modules as shown in Figure 3.7. The ribbon-cable connec-tion runs from header J7 on the CPU to header J1 (“Data in”) on the first loop-control module, from J3 (“Data out”) on that unit to J1 onthe next unit in the chain, and likewise for up to five loop-control modules. Each module should be assigned a unique SLC loop number(see below); loop number does not need to match the module’s location in this daisy-chain.FlashScan devices can operate in either FlashScan or, for retrofit applications, CLIP mode. Each LCM-320 or LEM-320 running a Flash-Scan SLC can support up to 159 detectors and 159 modules. CLIP loops are limited to 99 detectors and 99 modules. These and othercapacity restrictions for CLIP mode loops are discussed in Section 3.9 “Wiring a Signalling Line Circuit (SLC)”. Refer to the SLC Wir-ing Manual for wiring requirements and specific details.3.5.2 Setting SLC Loop NumberAssign a unique SLC loop number to the loop control module by setting SW1 on the module to 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9. The loop expander mod-ule which is mounted behind this loop control module will be assigned the next-higher even number. For example, if the LCM-320 is setto loop number 5, the LEM-320 mounted to it will be set to loop number 6.3.5.3 Installing a Multi-layer Module into the ChassisFollow the instructions illustrated in Figures 3.4 through 3.7 to install a pair of loop control/expander modules.1. Angle the module into the chassis so that the upper end of the rear board (or boards) fits into the top slot.2. Bring the module back down so that the lower board edges slip into the bottom slots.3. Secure the module to the chassis with the two module screws. Tighten securely.4. Connect the ribbon cable to the module.NOTE: NCM hardware is not compatible with HS-NCM hardware and should not be mixed on the same network.NOTE: Mounting two pairs of loop control and expander modules in one chassis position may cause intermittent electricalinterference. If this occurs, move one pair to a separate chassis position.! CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED 99 ADDRESSES FOR CLIPDO NOT PROGRAM MORE THAN 99 ADDRESSES ON A CLIP-MODE SLC LOOP, BECAUSE THIS WILLSLOW THE SYSTEM DOWN AND COMPROMISE THE RESPONSE TIME OF THE PANEL TO DISPLAYOFF-NORMAL EVENTS.SW1 Set to assign a uniqueSLC loop numberJ3 Data Out tonext LCM-320J1 Data In from control panelor from previous LCM-320Ground Fault LEDs:D32 Loop ExpanderModule Ground FaultD28 Loop Control ModuleGround FaultJ2 LEM-320 ConnectionTB1 SLCLoopConnectionLCM-320ConnectionLCM-320 LEM-320NOTE: Note: Do not cut any jumpers on the LCM-320 or LEM-320.TB1 SLC LoopConnectionLCM-320.wmfLEM-320.wmfFigure 3.4 LCM-320 and LEM-320 DiagramJP2 See note.Stand-offlocationsJP1 See note.
