11. Addressable detector loops
11.1 Measuring the Cables
Disconnect all power from the control panel.
First disconnect the battery, then the mains
1. Measure the resistance between the loop wires + and - so
that the resistance meter positive (feeding) probe is in the
+ -conductor. The resistance must exceed 1 kΩ. If the
resistance is smaller, locate the cause of the fault and
repair it. (It may be a detector or address unit connected
the wrong way or a short circuit isolator).
2. Measure the loop cable + wire resistance from the output
and return ends. Also measure the – wire. The loop
resistance of the + and – wires added together can be
max.
60 Ω on SLC - loop and 60 Ω on ALC - loop.
The difference between the + and – wire resistances
should not exceed 5 Ω. The possible causes of a fault
must be located and repaired.
If there are short circuit isolators in the loop, resistance
measuring of the loop cable will give false results. The
short circuit isolators must be by-passed by connecting
links over the isolators.
3. Remove short circuit isolators’ by-passes.
