Introduction
This document covers the Eaton Addressable Fire System and is intended to extend and / or
suppliment the information given within the product manuals
It does not cover all eventualities but tries to demonstrate available options within the Panel menu
structure and document changes and additions new features and updates are applied.
Examples shown are from the information, screen display or software available at the time of inclusion
and may differ slightly in what is currently available.
If you require clarification on any aspect of the system please contact Eaton EMEA Technical Support
(Fire Platform) on Tel: [phone] or Email: MVDO-Fire-TechSu[email protected]
For those not familiar Eatons Addressable Fire Systems, please contact our training department via
Email: GBDON-Fir[email protected]
Panel Firmware Version
The Addressable family of panels has two distinctly separate sets of firmware code, covering Display
& Loop.
These two sets of code are developed and released in pairs and systems should always have
matched pairs.
It is impossible to say with any degree of certainty what may happen if Display and Loop versions are
mixed. It may appear that your panel will function correctly with the features enabled but if a new
feature is introduced that and/or existing features may not operate as intented causing irratic
behaviour. Eaton will not accept any liability if firmware version are mixed in a system.
Primary Firmware sets (DF6) are.

Site Installer Software version
To compliment the onboard menus, Eaton Addressable systems have a dedicated software package
to allow ease of programming. Software is key protected and the unlock keys are issued by Fire
Technical Support following system training. There have been many versions issued over the years in
support of our continual improvement policy. For older systems, legacy versions are available by
request, please contact Fire Technical Support to discuss.
The current version of Site installer uses a database with the extension .zsi. On previous versions the
extensions .sdf & .mdb have been used.These legacy files can be viewed in most instances by using
the Import command from the File menu.
The last 6 Versions are detailed below:

Loading and Totals
The general rules are that the panel is capable of supporting up to 200 devices per loop; this can be a
combination of Detection, Callpoints, I/O units, Repeaters and Sounders.
The protocol and internal memory are constructed in such a way that there are certain loading rules
which must be strictly enforced.
Maximum 200 devices per loop
Maximum 60 sounders/beacons/sounder beacons (set low) per loop.
Maximum 20 I/O units per loop which assumes each I/O uses 3 output channels;
Maximum 120 Output channels based on 2 + 3 above.
Certain devices have been constructed to circumvent these rules effectively ‘fooling’ the panel to
offset some of the totals. The maximum 200 per loop CAN NOT be changed.
The totals for EN and UL are the same unless specified in the remarks column.

Zones
Assigning devices to the relevant zones can be done either at the panel direct or by using site
installer. The contractor should always provide the zone information, as this is part of the system
design process and takes into account the fire compartment boundaries.
The panel has 96 zonal led’s, if ringing patterns are required across a network then all zones must
exist on all panels within the network.
eg. Panel 1 has zones 1 –10 in use, Panel 2 zones 11 –20 in use, Panel 3 zones 21 –30 in use.
On Later version Site Installer 2.5.28.6 and Display and Loop Software dated later than 04/2011 zone
information is automatically transmitted across the network, so zonal cause and effect becomes much
easier to achieve.
Access Codes
There are three access codes for the DF6000
User Code: This allows control of the silence, evacuate and reset functions and also enable/disable;
replace device and check auto config functions. This code can be changed to a site-specific code.
Default Code: 2214
Engineer Code: This gives access to the engineer parts of the menu, which are used, for learning and
programming the system.
Default Code: 143243
Both of these codes are printed on a label on the inside of the panel door.
High Level Codes: This codes give access to menu’s which:
•Can be used to return the system to its factory settings, and to change the logos on the
display.
•Disable ALL Outputs.
•View all access codes and reset to default codes. (Changed on PH1 Display Software 3.3.51)
•Display code minor revision shown in low left corner (PH1)
Default Code: 130170
Should the User Or Engineer codes be lost for any reason, please contact Fire Technical Support for
assistance.
User Menu Functions
Fig 4

13 Amended: April 22
EMEA Fire Technical Support: DF6000/CF3000 Applications Guide
Disable/Enable Devices
This menu allows the customer to disable and enable selected detectors, zones or I/O’s.
Detectors and zones are self-explanatory, simply touch the Enabled/Disabled box against each zone
or device.
The disable I/O menu however, allows the user to disable FRE, FPE, AUX relay, Fault output and
panel Sounders 1 & 2.
When the panel is in Auto learn individual sounders CANNOT be disabled, the only method of
disabling sounders is by using the ‘Disable all outputs’ function, or, download text into the panel,
which will then allow the sounders to be disabled by zone or individually.
If a device is already ‘in fire’ the system will not allow the user to disable it. The zone that the device
belongs in must be disabled; this function is still available if the panel is in fire.
If a complete zone is disabled, individual devices within that zone cannot be selected for re-enabling.
If the panel is part of a network, then devices can be disabled across the network by using the
‘Network disable/enable function’.
If a device or zone is disabled, then that disablement must be shown across all panels within the
network. (EN54 -13 and AS 1668)
Weekly Test
This function allows the user to perform a weekly test single-handed and will appear in the Log of
events as a test.
Once this function has been selected the panel starts a four-minute timer, when a call point is
activated within these four minutes the panel will operate the sounders and then silence and reset the
system.
On a later version (Display v3.3.53) the user is asked to do a manual reset, EN54 does not allow the
panel to automatically reset.
If no call point is activated within the four minutes the weekly test mode will be cancelled.
During this test mode the relay outputs controlling plant and equipment shutdown will not
operate, neither will the FRE nor FPE outputs.
FRE: Fire Routing Equipment typically used to operate a remote centre communicator.
FPE: Fire protecting Equipment typically used to control fire doors.
Note: If ‘disable all outputs’ is selected, weekly test or walk test will still make the sounders operate
See Also High-Level Menu, page 41 (Global Weekly and Walk Tests)
Check Auto Config
This function has two purposes, the first is to check that when a database has been downloaded the
transmitted data matches the device data on the loop and then it highlights any anomalies as device
unknown or device type mismatches. It will also highlight any un-addressed (254) devices. Stating a
‘New Device’ (V1.50 2004)
The second is to pinpoint any o/c or s/c faults on the loop. The panel achieves this by electronically
disconnecting the return legs and interrogates the devices from the start of the loop. If there is a
break the panel will go to fault stating the first device it cannot see beyond the break. This same
function also pinpoints short circuits in the same way, creating a fault beyond the point where an
isolator has opened.

EMEA Fire Technical Support: DF6000/CF3000 Applications Guide
Replace Device
The replace device function is used to change faulty equipment without the need to change text or
zone allocation.
The faulty component is changed and then the replace device function selected, the loop and address
of the faulty device are inputted, and the panel then scans the loop for address 254, when it receives
a reply the previously inputted address information is programmed on to the new device.
This function cannot be used if a different type of device is being replaced, and a warning is issued to
this effect. The ‘Add/Delete’ device function must then be used.
Note. In all instances of an output device replacement the panel must receive a Watchdog
reset for the device to follow the programmed settings.
Delays.
A sounder delay is set up using site installer and is must be programmed on stage 1 of ‘Device
Outputs’. Double Knock cannot be used on the same stage. Version 3.0.8.13 (Aug 20) forbids this by
only allowing either to be selected. The maximum time is ten minutes and it can only be programmed
in whole minutes.
When programming a delay on the panel sounder circuits the zones selected in the allocate devices
box trigger the delay. Whereas on the loop powered sounders and the sounder controller unit the
zones not selected will trigger the delay and the zones selected will operate the sounders
immediately.
The above has been changed in V1.81.01 Display/V1.83.3 Loop so that the devices selected in the
list will trigger the delay and the devices not selected will have no effect.
The delay trigger can be by address, zone, panel or globally.
When selecting the trigger to be by address all the addresses must be on the same loop and the limit
is sixteen.
When selecting the trigger to be by zone then the limit is sixteen zones (or on later software versions
zone groups).
When triggering a delay on the panel sounders by zone the limit is reduced to 8 zones. If no zones
are selected, then the delay will be global.
When programming a delay to an I/O only stage 1 of output 1 accepts the delay. If a delay is applied
to output 2 or output 3, this will prevent the delay on output 1 form operatin.
When a delay has been set up (on a sounder or an I/O) the sounder fault and general disable
led’s will be illuminated permanently.(Legacy Panels)
Alternatively, on later hardware/software versions the ‘Delay Active’ led will be illuminated.
A delay can be set up on the Sounder control unit and 3 Chan I/O in the same way as a loop powered
sounder, however, only stage 1 of output 1 will accept the delay.
The other 3 sounder circuits or 2 relay channels WILL NOT accept a delay.
The latest version of Sounder Controller (CSC354CPR) is fitted with a jumper to force the other
sounder circuits to follow the programming of sounder circuit 1.

Double Knock.
Double knock operation is programmed on site installer and is used to prevent unnecessary
evacuation of the site. Two fires are needed from the selected list before the output condition is
satisfied and the output can operate. A Delay time cannot be used on stage 1 at the same time as
Double Knock. Version 3.0.8.12 (Aug 20) forbids this by only allowing either to be selected.
The operation can be done by address, zone or global. Later versions have included the opportunity
to double knock WITHIN an individual zone (any zone 2 devices)
When selecting the trigger to be by address all the addresses have to be on the same loop and the
limit is sixteen.
When selecting the trigger to be by zone, then the limit is sixteen zones, (or groups) in each stage.
Selecting by zone means that two different zones will have to be in fire before the output condition is
satisfied.
When selecting the trigger to be global then any two fires on that panel or network will satisfy the
output condition.
If a Cascading timer is used (Release Feb 2015) any outputs using DN global will respond on the first
cascade. If DN global is required use DN any zone group and choose all zones except the cascade
timer zone.
NOTE If Double knock is set by zone –any 2 devices within the same zone will NOT satisfy
the condition.
Coincidence (Dependency type C).
Coincidence is different from double knock in that two fires from the allocate device list are required to
satisfy the output condition but one fire from outside the list will also satisfy the output condition.
This function is similar to double knock in the way that it is set up i.e. by address, by zone and has the
same restrictions on the number of trigger devices.
NOTE If Coincidence is set by zone –any 2 devices within the same zone will NOT satisfy the
condition.
Sounder Level Test.
This option allows for db readings to be taken without causing too much disruption to the site
occupants.
Selection of the sounder level test mode turn the sounders on for 15 seconds enabling a reading to be
taken and then turn them off for 30 seconds allowing the engineer to move on to the next area.

One Man Walk Test.
This function is like the weekly test feature, this allows the engineer to test the complete system
without having to continually return to the panel and reset it. Once all devices have been tested the
‘Stop’ button can then be operated and a manual reset initiated. See also high level menu –global
weekly walk tests.
Test Device
This is not a true test of the device. Individual devices can be identified and wiring direction noted
using this menu.
When a device is put into test the fire Led will illuminate a sounder will sound and a relay will switch.
Following an Autolearn test device can be used to indicate cable routes and in what sequence the
panel has numbered the devices etc.
On v3.0 software Next/Previous has been added to enable the user to navigate this function more
easily also the relay of an I/O device will change state.
Auto Learn.
Fig 5
This is the process of addressing the devices on the loop. The process starts by telling every device
to open its Isolator. It then numbers the first device and tells this to close its isolator, the next device is
interrogated and given the next number this continues until all devices are numbered in sequence.
If the Autolearn (all loops) is activated ALL devices on the panel will be numbered in turn, per loop,
sequentially from address 1, in order they appear in the wiring, and be defaulted to a Global Fire
trigger. All zone and device text information will also be defaulted (zone 1 and address no).

Autolearn by Loop
On software v 3.0 (introduced August 07), Autolearn by loop has been introduced. This allows a
second loop to be learned without having to relearn Loop 1. (which, in early versions, only allows one
attempt)
If a second loop controller is installed, then the option to learn loops 3 & 4 individually is displayed.
Further enhancements now allow any loop to be autolearned as many times as required.
All devices on the newly learned loop will be placed into zone 1 and the Cause & Effect returned to a
Global Fire trigger. The devices on the existing loop will also revert to Global Fire trigger, however
their zone allocation and device text remain untouched. Any existing device zones placed within zone
groups are also unaffected.
Pre-Addressed Autolearn
This has been added and allows the engineer to Pre-Address the loop devices in any sequence using
a hand-held programmer(CF800). Once the system is installed, pre-addressed autolearn only
interrogates the devices without renumbering and saves the device list in memory.
NOTE: Caution should be used as any new device (254 address) will be ignored as will any holes in
the system addressing. All devices will be placed into zone 1.
Maintenance Autolearn
This is a recent addition from Display 3.3.50.44 dated 20/7/12 and loop version 3.2.4.51 which has
been added to support many additions.
If a large number of devices are to be added at the same time an autolearn may be required. Clearly
this is not acceptable on established systems therefore the maintenance autolearn has been
developed. When this feature is initiated:
•It supports holes. –This means it will populate spaces in the loop config with the new 254
address then move to the end of the loop, see next point below.
•It will address any devices with a 254 and place them into the next available address or at the
end of the loop whichever is available.
•It will leave the zoning and text information alone.
•Most importantly it will not alter the cause and effect of the existing devices.
Practical Example
Making amendments to systems where 1 or more loops are installed configured and working should
be done with care.
To recap, if using the Autolearn by loop feature and adding an additional loop, several things will
happen:
1. The additional loop will learn as required, all devices are put into zone 1, all triggers are
Global Fire and device text is default ‘address xx’
2. The existing loops will keep their previously programmed address text and zone allocation
but, all triggers will revert to Global Fire, effectively wiping all the previously configured Cause
& effect.
There are two ways to manage this situation but care needs to be taken;
Method 1 (Autolearn by loop)
•Firstly, using the Site Installer software, take a download of the current configuration file, add
an extra character to the panel name and save a copy. (e.g from Reception to Reception*)
•Next, run the autolearn by loop for the new loop (assuming all static cable checks have been
completed)
•Download again into the same site file, you now have two Panels that look the same in the
tree, one will be red. Look closely, with the extra character on the original file, you can identify
easily.

•On the original Panel, go to the position of the new loop you have just learned. In this
example it is loop3. Right click and select copy loop
•When the copy loop dialog box opens select the newly learned loop from the dropdown, from
the newly downloaded panel
•This adds the newly learned loop to the existing panel configuration
•Delete the second panel, (not the original). Add text descriptions, zoning & Cause and Effect
to the new loop as usual.
•Upload the config back to the panel & test.

EMEA Fire Technical Support: DF6000/CF3000 Applications Guide
Method 2 (Maintenance Autolearn)
•Firstly, using the Site Installer software, take a download of the current configuration file. Save
a copy.
•Ensure you are only adding devices to the new loop and all devices are new or have been set
to the default address of 254. (you cannot use previously addressed devices unless they have
been defaulted)
•Assuming all static cable checks have been completed, run the maintenance autolearn
function from the panel. (You will only get 1 attempt at this, if it fails you must default every
device to 254 & try again)
•Download the configuration to a new instance of Site Installer.
•You can now add text descriptions, zoning & Cause and Effect to the new loop as usual.
•The existing loops will be untouched.
•Upload the config back to the panel & test.
Analogue Level.
The analogue level reading is used to display the analogue value being sensed by the detector, this
value is displayed in a numeric format and also in a graphical form. This reading is displayed in real
time.
On v3.0 software Next/Previous buttons have been added to enable the user to scroll through the
addresses more easily. The min/max values are erased on exiting the menu and resetting the panel.
Version 3.0 software also allows the analogue levels to be transmitted to the PC by Loop, this is
achieved through the Site Installer program and user menu.

Printer Settings.
When the printer is fitted then there are two options for its operation: Auto and On Request.
In early versions of firmware when changing between the two, the panel needed to have a hard reset
or power down/power up to see the change in the settings, this is no longer the case.
If the printer is replaced, then a hard reset or power down should also be carried out to recognise the
printer. This also applies if the Printer power supply plug is disconnected
The Panel must be running on its primary AC Mains Supply for the printer to operate

Programming I/O and Sounders & Sub- Menus.
Panel Outputs
The only sounder programming which can be changed on the panel is the sounder tone and the
volume, if these settings are changed then the changes are applied to all the sounders on the system
whereas if the settings are done on the site installer software then it is possible to individually
configure the sounder tone and volume for each sounder.
These controls only apply to loop powered sounders so if there are a significant number on the loops
be careful when setting medium or high. If all the loop sounders are set to these levels it is possible to
overload the panel and cause the loop to current limit.
There are three volume settings; Low, Medium, High; and four tones: Pulsing, Continuous, Two Tone,
Slow Whoop. If the sounder settings are not altered on the panel then they will default to two tone and
low volume.
Because these settings apply to all the loop sounders, care must be taken to prevent overloading if
medium and/or high were to be programmed.
The panel sounder circuits are limited in the way they can be programmed, the three stages available
to the loop sounders are not available for the panel sounders. They should really only be used when
the system is a one out all out configuration, if anything more complex is required then loop sounders
are the best option. If conventional sounders are required, they need to be controlled by a sounder
control unit.
