Auto addressing procedure
Auto-addressing allows the installer to make all of the
devices accessible from the panel without the need to
execute any previous configuration action on the de-
vices, during the installation phase (the device acquire
phase).
This involves considerable cost and time savings
for the installer as the loop programming tool,
FC490ST is no longer required for the manual as-
signment of the device addresses.
Furthermore, the auto-addressing procedure allows
the installer to know or t o set the geographical posi-
tion of the devices on the site (the device mapping
phase). The auto- addressing procedure is part of
the loop devices enroll process in the FC501 panel
(see the "Quick Start Procedure" chapter in the In-
staller Manual).
The loop devices enroll process is initiated by the
installer:
Press the 1 key to enter PROGRAMMING mode.
1.
Enter the Installer PIN (by default, it is 00000).
2.
Each digit will be masked by an asterisk (
Select option 1: AUTO.
3.
If an open circuit or a double address is detected dur-
ing the enrolling phase, the control panel display
shows the instructions to fix it (refer to the Installer
manual for more information.
After all the devices are initializing in a l oop,
4.
the panel will prompt you to choose the type of
automatic zones assignment:
 1 = according to the Loop
 2 = based on the addresses of the devices
 3 = do not assign.
Then the panel will prompt you to choose the
5.
sounder trigger event:
1 = Zone Alarm

 2 = Panel Alarm
When you select an option, the panel enters the
6.
results phase.
 Press the ENTER key to activate the AU-
TOADDRESSING phase;
 Or press ESC to the FAULT page (not addressa-
ble devices).
By default, any addressable device has the address
255; the fire panel examines the serial number of
each device and assigns to each an address from 1 to
128. If the control panel finds a device with an ad-
dress other than the default (255), it leaves the setting
of the address to the device.
ENGLISH

The control panel is ready to work, at this time
(with the default programming).
If the installer wants to modify the factory default, for
example, to set the address 1 to detector 1, or to set
the address 2 to detector 2, and so on:
Press the ENTER key, so the fire panel initiates
7.
the MAPPING DEVICES phase.
First phase
In this phase, the installer must activate in
8.
sequence all of the input devices: detectors, in-
put modules, Manual Call Point, and then return in
front of the fire panel.
Report the sequence of activation on the map of
9.
system.
The fire panel will store the activation sequence
(even temporarily).
You can use the User Interface UP and DOWN
10.
keys to start to examine the first activated device.
Select the device, the address will blink so that
11.
you can change the address.

Press ENTER to confirm. T he address will be-

come fixed.
If the RIGHT key is pressed, you can switch to the
13.
programming phase of the selected device.

"Unique", in the time field, tags the device which
type is singularly present over the loop. So it is not
necessary to activate it, the installer knows where
it is.
Second phase
In this phase, the installer can examine the sounders,
the beacons and the output modules.When an install-
er scans the list of previously auto-addressed devices
and reaches an only output device type, this device
becomes active (if it is a sounder, it makes a sound; if
it is a beacon, it starts to flash; if it is an output mod-
ule, its LED lights up) until a new device is selected or
the permanent address is entered.

The enroll process does not take place until all
loop wiring trouble has been removed.

The auto-addressing procedure can be used
when there are devices manufactured after 2010
on the loop, otherwise it does not have an effect.

The device mapping process does not take
place until all double address faults have been
removed.
