Install this product in accordance with NFPA 13, NFPA 72 and NEC 70 and all local codes.
Short Circuit Isolator Modules protect SLC loop devices from single-loop-shorts. SLC loops must be wired with Short Circuit Isolator Modules to comply
with NFPA 72, Class A Style 7. SLC loop connections must include closed nippling and conduit nippling to maintain compliance with individual
enclosures under NFPA 72, Class A, Style 7 requirements. Closed nippling encloses individual devices on SLC loops and conduit nippling encloses
wiring between these individual enclosures. For Class A, Style 6 compliance, the Short Circuit Isolator Modules may be located at strategic locations
based on the discretion of the designer or installer.
The NFPA requires that two dedicated and independent TELCO lines feed communication features such as the Integrated Dialer.
Install SLC detectors with spacing as specified in section 90.19 of UL 864, 9th edition where units employing the multiple detector operation shall include
guidelines for installing of a minimum of two detectors in each protected space and to reduce the detector installation spacing to 0.7 times the linear
spacing in accordance with National Fire Alarm Code, NFPA 72. Also reference 55.3.1 and 55.3.2 of UL 864, 9th edition for these detector spacing
requirements.
All field wiring should be installed using fire rated cables according to the NFPA 72. Riser conductors shall be installed in accordance with the
survivability from attack by fire requirements in National Fire Alarm Code, NFPA 72, Sections 6.8.6.3, and 6.9.4. Riser conductors shall employ either a 2

Shield Omega - X Panel Installation Manual
SH3514-00, Revision E03.04
Issue Date: 1 April 2014
Page 5 of 118

Overview 2
Models of the Shield Omega - X Panel operate SLC devices using Apollo protocol.
The Omega - X Panel accepts a variety of industry standard devices for FACP monitoring and reporting.
Link the Omega - X Panel with other panels using the proprietary Omega - N to monitor conditions between
panels. Provide reports concerning these conditions to monitoring-centers using a standard TELCO line.
Points and Addresses
Points and addresses are fundamental to the operation of Omega - X monitoring and reporting. Devices are
identified as points when connected to the Omega - X Panel. Device points are assigned addresses when
configured on the Omega - X Panel using the Loop Explorer application. Each Omega - X Panel supports a
maximum of 126points per loop without subpoints or 381 points per loop when utilizing subpoints.
Omega - X Panels support a point and subpoint maximum of 800 addresses per panel.
Do not exceed this 800 address maximum when assigning subpoints to points on Omega - X Panels.
Contact ID Address Restrictions
Address restrictions effect all models of the Omega - X Panel when using the Contact ID format for
monitoring-center communication.
The Contact ID format limits reporting to an address of 99. Configuration features in the eSP Discovery application
restrict the use of the Contact ID format when selecting addresses above 99. The Contact ID format can be used for
devices other than analog-sounder-bases as long as the device address and sub address are below 99.
FACP reporting can be changed from point reporting to zone reporting when the limit of 99 addresses per loop
cannot be avoided. Zone reporting can be used to resolve address assignments in excess of 99 but doing so reduces
overall reporting granularity.
Models of the Omega - X Panel can be programmed for the SIA or Contact ID digital communication format. The
SIA and Contact ID format provides status monitoring and reporting to industry-standard receivers at the
monitoring-center.
Both ofthese digital communication formats provide a range of addressing for device-points and sub-points on the
Omega - X Panel. The SIA format allows full reporting from all device-points and sub-points. The Contact ID
format provides a limited range of reporting from device-points. The eSP Discovery application uses an open
protocol to assign device addresses to the Omega - X Panel.
Reference Appendix B, “Equipment List” for all models effected by restrictions of the Contact ID format.
