Verifying the Loops
Commissioning Handbook, AutroSafe Interactive Fire Detection System, Release 4, 116-P-ASAFE-COMMISS/EGB Rev.F, 2014-04-01,
Autronica Fire and Security AS
Page 8
3. Verifying the Loops
3.1 AS-2000 Loop Diagnostic Tool
All loops should be verified with the AS-2000 Loop Diagnostic Tool
before startup. Although this is presumably already done at an earlier
stage (shortly after the installation), it is recommended that all loops
are verified once again in case minor changes have been done. By
doing this, you will eliminate possible problems which could occur
during the startup procedure and upgrading of configuration data.
The AS-2000 allows you to find all points connected to the selected
loop driver, and present them graphically.
AS-2000 can be connected directly to an AutroSafe
operating panel, or directly to a detection loop by means of an
external interface unit, WAS-2000.
3.2 Verification Procedure
Pressing the START button in the Topology window (AS-2000) tells
AS-2000 to find all points connected to the selected loop driver, and
present them graphically in a correct electrical sequence. Points will
be presented with unique symbols for each type of Loop Unit, and with
important information such as Production Number (PN), and the Loop
Sequence Index (LSI). In case of illegal topologies, like multiple
branch-offs and loop breaks, these will be presented with self-
explaining symbols.
Use the AS-2000 to;
register all loop units on each loop, including:
−the Loop Unit type
(detector type, manual call point, electronic sounder, I/O unit)
−Loop Sequence Indexes LSI
(order/location)
register all branch offs and loop break positions
locate any breaks on the loop wire (both positive and negative
wires)
measure the loops’ total resistance, current consumption and
voltage drop
earth fault
You will find detailed information on the installation and use of
AS-2000 in the User Guide, AS-2000 Loop Diagnostic Tool.

4.1 Introduction
4.2 Parameters Used for the Consistency Check
The table below provides a description of two of the parameters that
are used for the consistency check. These parameters are shown in
the Topology View in AS-2000, as well as in the topology view in the
AutroSafe Configuration Tool.
Parameter
Abbreviation
Description
Illustration
Loop Unit The loop unit
can be a
detector, a

I/O unit.
(Examples)

Optical smoke detector (BH-200/300/500)
MultiSensor detector (BH-220/320/520)

NOTE:
To ensure a problem-
free upload of configuration data, always
perform a consistency check, using the results from the
AS-2000 verification and the data that has been configured by
means of the AutroSafe Configuration Tool.
(Example)

4.3 Importing Loop Data from the AS-2000 Tool
The AutroSafe Configuration Tool features an Import command
allowing you to import loop data directly from the AS-2000 Loop
Diagnostic tool. In this way, it is possible to ensure that the point types
and sequence indexes in the configuration will be identical to the real
loop. Tag Names and optional Detection Zones (DZs) will be assigned
to the points during import.
For further information, refer to the Help System for AutroSafe
Configuration Tool and the User Guide for the AS-2000 Loop
Diagnostic Tool.
4.4 Consistency Check Using the
AS-2000 / Config Mismatch Tool
4.5 Generating Configuration Files
System configuration is done from a computer by the means of the
AutroSafe Configuration Tool. This tool allows you to generate
configuration files, which then can be uploaded to target after the
system has been verified.
The AutroSafe Configuration Tool allows you to do a
consistency check of configuration data by means of a menu
called AS-2000 / Config Mismatch Tool (in the Tool menu).
This feature allows you to easily compare the actual
configuration data downloaded from a detection loop and
imported to the AutroSafe Configuration Tool (using
the AS-2000) with the configuration data you have entered in
the AutroSafe Configuration Tool.

5.1.3 AutroFieldBus Addresses
Each AutroFieldBus unit/Power Board BSF-400 on an AutroFieldBus
must be assigned a unique address by means of an rotary switch (see
previous page).
The drawing below shows the AutroFieldBus connections on the main
terminal block, list L1 mounted on a DIN rail inside the cabinet
(BS-420/BC-420). The first AutroFieldBus unit is connected to the
terminals L1.9 / L1.11 (AFB A). The last unit is connected to L1.3 /
L1.5 (AFB B).

A maximum of 31 AutroFieldBus units can be connected to one
AutroFieldBus, giving the number range 01 to 31. The physical
addresses are set by means of the rotary switches on the board.
The illustration below shows an example of the system topology
window. 4 AutroFieldBus units are added to the AutroFieldBus
interface.
The sequence of the units in the topology window determines the
switch settings on each unit, i.e. the first unit (the uppermost unit in
the topology window) is to be given switch address 01, the next is to
be given switch address 02, and so on.
Note that the physical sequence of AutroFieldBus units on the
AutroFieldBus must not necessarily correspond to the sequence
shown in the topology window, however this is recommended.

5.2 Calibration Procedure - Power Unit BPS-410
When using Power Unit BPS-410 (including a 24V/10A power supply),
a calibration procedure must be performed. This is necessary in order
to obtain a correct temperature compensated charging voltage to the
batteries. The procedure is as follows:
Before applying power to the system, the power supply’s
temperature sensor (thermistor delivered with the power unit) must
be temporarily replaced with a fixed 2,2kresistor (terminal point 2
and 6 from the left, marked with a stippled line from terminal point
2 to the thermistor symbol at point 6).
Apply power to the system by connecting the mains cable to the
mains socket or by switching the power ON from an external main
fuse box.
Measure the voltage on the BSF-400’s battery terminals (BATT +/-)
while adjusting the voltage with a small screw driver to 27,4V on
the power supply (OUT ADJ).
Disconnect mains power from the power supply and remove
charger fuse F8.
Remove the resistor and reinsert the thermistor.
Insert the charger fuse F8 and re-connect mains power to the
power supply.

6. Addressing Panels
6.1 Definitions
6.1.1 Network ID
A panel’s Network ID indicates which system and unique configuration
a panel belongs to. All panels communicating on the same AutroNet
network must have the same Network ID, usually set to 01 (switch
setting; rotary switches X5 and X3).
The Network ID also determines the specific number series of the IP
Addresses (which are set during commissioning by operating the
AutroSafe menu).
6.1.2 Panel ID
Each panel in the system must be assigned a unique Panel ID (switch
setting; rotary switches X6 and X4, plus the settings of dip-switch S2).
For each different panel type (i.e. BS-420 or BU-420) the addressing
on the rotary switches always starts on 0-1.
The Configuration Tool generates a catalogue structure with the
following number series of Panel IDs for the different panel types.
(Note that the physical adressing on the rotary switches does not
follow the numbering series generated by the Configuration Tool).

6.3 Assigning Network IDs
The settings of the rotary switches X5 and X3 determine the panel’s
Network ID, i.e. which system and unique configuration the panel
belongs to.
All panels communicating on the same AutroNet network must have
the same Network ID, usually set to 01.
X5 is set to 0
X3 is set to 1
If there is a second network, this network can be set to 02, a third can
be set to 03, etc.
Switch X5 corresponds to the most significant digit in the address.

6.4 Assigning Panel IDs
Each panel in the system must be assigned a unique Panel ID (switch
setting; rotary switches X6 and X4, plus the settings of dip-switch S2).
For each different panel type (i.e. BS-420 or BU-420) the addressing
on the rotary switches always starts on 0-1.
Note that a standalone Fire Alarm Control Panel BS-420 always has
Panel ID=00.
Switch X6 corresponds to the most significant digit in the address.
Note that the correct switch settings for the panel type in question is
preset at the factory (dipswitch S2) - except for the BU-BV-420 panel,
as this panel can be defined both as a Information Panel and Fire
Brigade Panel.
The following table deals with the Panel IDs when several panels
communicate on the AutroNet (local area network).

Example:
A network configuration consists of two BS-420 panels, one BS-430
panel and one BU-BV-420 panel (a BU-BV-420 panel defined as a
Fire Brigade Panel).
