Introduction
This manual applies to the Protec 6500 and 6600 fire alarm control panels however for convenience;
reference will be made only to the ‘6500’. Everything in this manual applies to the 6500 and 6600
unless stated otherwise.
The Protec 6500 Fire Alarm Control Panel has been designed and manufactured in the United
Kingdom and complies fully with current standards dictating fire alarm system design practice ( EN54
parts 2 and 4 ).
This equipment and its associated connections must be installed, commissioned and
maintained by a suitably trained skilled and competent person.
This equipment is not guaranteed unless installed and commissioned in accordance with
current national standards
There are no user serviceable parts inside the 6500. The equipment and its associated
connections must be installed, commissioned and maintained by a suitably trained,
skilled and competent person. A separate 6500 Installation Manual is available.
It is assumed that the commissioning engineer has read the 6500 User Manual and is
therefore familiar with the basic operation of a 6500 fire panel.
For information on programming the panel and communicating via the PC using the
commissioning software, refer to the Commissioning Software User Manual

1.0 Commissioning Menus
1.1 Login
Access to the features of the 6500 is achieved by logging in. If it is displayed, Press
Login and the display will show the code entry screen
If the Login button is not displayed, touch the middle of the screen to bring up the code
entry key pad
Enter the engineer code by touching the relevant number buttons then touch Enter. If the code is
correct then the display will show the main menu screen
For information on the Service Info screen and the Upgrade screen
refer to the relevant sections.

When the engineer code is entered, the ‘Main Menu’screen will be displayed.
Touch a menu option to select it.
Tools Menu - refer to section 1.3
Test Menu - refer to section 1.17
System View - refer to the user manual
Disable / Enable - refer to the user manual

1.3 Tools Menu
Touching Tools Menu displays options to show the commissioning tools
The printer menu is displayed if the configuration file downloaded to the panel
included the printer fitted option.

1.4 Loop Tools
Touching Loop tools displays the different loop options.

RDM0002/3 Page 10 of 57 © 2015 - 2019 Protec Fire Detection plc
1.5 Loop logging
Each loop must be logged and allocated. Logging finds all the connected devices, their type, software
version and their physical order whilst Allocating allows the engineer to assign an address to each
device. Until a device is allocated an address on the loop, the panel cannot communicate with it.
To log a loop, touch Loop logging to select the panel, then loop card, and then select the
loop.
Loop logging is a two stage process, first it logs how many devices are connected to
the loop then it maps them to find their physical position on the loop. Knowing their
physical position makes fault finding easier. Loop logging can take several minutes; its
progress is indicated on the display.
Touch Allocate to move direct to the allocation menu (see next section) else touch OK
to exit the logging screen.

RDM0002/3 Page 11 of 57 © 2015 - 2019 Protec Fire Detection plc
1.6 Allocate Addresses
A loop must be logged before it can be allocated
Each Protec ‘6000’ loop device has a unique serial number. This serial number has to be linked to a
unique address. The process of linking the serial number to an address is known as address allocation.
To begin allocating the device addresses, touch Allocate addresses to select the panel,
then loop card, and then select the loop.
Indicates the column used for sorting the data. Touch one of the other column headers to
change the method of sorting.
This button provides a quick way to allocate the selected device to the lowest unused
address, in this case the address is ‘1’.
This button finds the next device in the list to the one selected that has not yet been
allocated an address.
This button finds the previous device in the list prior to the one selected that has not yet
been allocated an address.
This button allocates the selected device the address that has been entered. The address
range is ‘0’to ‘200’. Each device must have a unique address between ‘1’ and ‘200’. ‘0’ or a
blank address is used to de-allocate a device.
This button deletes the latest digit that has been entered.
On completion of the address allocation, touch Exit.

RDM0002/3 Page 12 of 57 © 2015 - 2019 Protec Fire Detection plc
Touch Exit to leave the allocation menu without saving any changes.
Touch Continue to return to the allocation screen.
Touch Save to store the newly allocated data. A progress bar is displayed as shown
below.

1.7 Printer Menu
Touching Printer Menu displays the printer options.
Note: - The printer menu option is only available on panels configured to have a printer.
Prints Loop Device serial numbers and analogue values after selecting the panel,
the loop card then the loop.
Powers up the printer for a period of time to allow feeding of a new roll of paper.

RDM0002/3 Page 18 of 57 © 2015 - 2019 Protec Fire Detection plc
1.12 Mapping Info
To access all the network information, this must be performed on the master panel.
Slave panels are limited to displaying the network map.
Touch Mapping info then select the Network card. This displays a map of the panels
connected to the network and a summary of the number of panels mapped and
missing.
Pink indicates the master panel with no faults
Green indicates a slave panel with no faults
Yellow indicates that the panel has a fault. A red border to the yellow circle indicates that the
panel is one side of a network break.
Blue indicates a slave panel that is acting as the master.

RDM0002/3 Page 19 of 57 © 2015 - 2019 Protec Fire Detection plc
Touch a panel icon to display its details as shown below.
A panel can have one of three roles:
Master –The master manages all network functions
Slave DM –The deputy master assumes control when the master is offline e.g. whilst being
programmed
Slave –A standard remote network panel
Promoted Master –A slave panel that is acting as the master panel
The master panel may display additional fault information to that shown above:-
Fault map error
The panel sequence found does not match the sequence downloaded to the master panel.
Fault network failed
There are too many network problems for the network to function.
Fault duplicate master
When the system was programmed, two panels have been set up as the master panel. Download the
corrected configuration to both panels.
Fault too many nodes
The master panel discovered too many nodes when it initialised the network.

RDM0002/3 Page 20 of 57 © 2015 - 2019 Protec Fire Detection plc
The cabling information reports cable break information such as:-
Break, a panel is reporting a cable break
When using a fibre optics unit cabling information reports cable break information such as:-
Break-CH1, a panel is reporting a cable break on network Channel 1
Break-CH2, a panel is reporting a cable break on network Channel 2
The status information reports issues such as:-
Missing, a panel that should be on the network is currently missing
Duplicate, two panels have the same panel number
Unknown, an unknown panel is on the network
Reverse, a panel has its channel 1 & 2 wiring reversed
