divided in sections, one section for each device. Each section contains:
Device
Address Device Range ID
Device Type Test Set ID
Soteria AV base presence indication (only in
CoreProtocol mode at loop devices (1-254))
Standalone Soteria AV Bases will have Device Type left blank
The indication is available only in Core protocol mode at loop de-
vice (1-254) in menus Addresses, Analogue value and Drift, Mode
and polling LED and Control and status. Additional to symbol ♪
green colour is used for indication.
A Soteria AV Base is indicated by ♪, any associated detector
attached to the AV base is signified by Device Type, eg HT.

*Loop Resistance is total resistance through two
conductors at one end of the link. That is twice
the resistance of one individual conductor of that
length.
To add a new cable:

keyboard appears.
Enter the name for the new cable.
Tap ‘Create’, the new cable is added to the list.
To add dimensions:

For appropriate results loop resistance (ohm/
km) should be entered and not only conductor
resistance.
Tap ‘Create’ the new dimension is added.
*It does not matter what is entered in the ‘cable
dimensions’ box. This information is only for
the user’s reference.
