Spur Tolerant Soft Addressing
DF6000 utilises intelligent soft addressing technology to gr
eatly simplify the installation and
commissioning processes. Once the system has been installed and the autolearn menu selected, the
DF6000 control panel will automatically scan the detection loops and allocate each device with an
address number corresponding with its position on the loop, this avoids the traditional need for manual
addressing of the system devices which is time consuming and provides a potential for error.
A major innovation with DF6000 is the ability to incorporate spurs of analogue devices which are fed from
the main loop by utilising a spur isolator. Whenever the panel detects a spur, it breaks from allocating
address numbers to the loop wired devices, allocates address numbers to each of the devices on the
spur in sequence and then continues to address the devices on the main loop. Every DF6000 analogue
device incorporates an integral short circuit isolator ensuring maximum system integrity. A single short
circuit will not disable any loop-mounted devices, the isolators in the devices each side of the short circuit
will operate and the DF6000 control panel will drive communication from both ends of the loop. The spur
isolator also incorporates a short circuit isolator such that in the event of a short circuit on the spur, the
integrity of the main loop will not be compromised. Please refer to local standards e.g. BS5839 Pt1:2002
for details of the maximum allowable are to be covered by a single spur.
Simple Future Expansion
DF6000 is designed to ensure simplicity of future expansion. If an additional device is added after the
system has been programmed, the DF6000 will allocate the next available address, it will not alter any of
the existing address numbers allocation thus enabling simple updating of as fitted drawings etc. Similarly
if a device is removed, the relevant address is saved as a spare address for future use, the addresses of
the remaining devices are not altered.
Integral Power Supply and Battery
The DF6000 panel is designed for ease of installation, the power supply and battery are integral to the
main control panel so only a single panel is required even on large 4 loop systems.
Optional Printer
DF6000 panels are available with optional built in printers. Where a printer is fitted, it is housed behind a
printer cover door, which can be opened by means of a special tool (supplied) to provide simple and safe
access to the printer paper roll without exposure to any live equipment. Paper replacement is extremely
simple due to the drop in loading method and auto feed printer design, the paper roll is simply dropped
into the purpose designed cradle and the end of the roll is then offered up to the printer, which will then
automatically load the paper ready for use. The printer can be set to either print automatically or to print
on demand When a printer is not fitted, a removable, flush fitting blanking plate is used to cover the
printer paper aperture to enhance the appearance of DF6000 and to preserve its ingress protection
rating.
Optional Hinged Lockable Cover
With a standard panel, access to all panel functions is controlled by a series of pass codes, which are
entered via the touch screen display, for maximum security, a facility is built into the DF6000 to enable the
user to alter the user pass code as required. For applications where a high level of resilience is required, a
clear hinged lockable front cover is available which allows the screen and all of the system status
indicators to be clearly seen but prevents access without first unlocking the cover. A single concealed
locking mechanism provides access to both the printer door and the optional display cover where a
hinged cover is fitted, additional buttons are provided to scroll the display and to silence the fault buzzer
without opening the lockable cover
