1. Introduction
1.1. General Description
The Loop Tester is a diagnostic tool specially designed for operation with addressable devices SensoIRIS series.
The device is suitable for testing the continuity and the technical characteristics of the fire cable and also the
operability of the loop and the connected devices.
The Loop Tester can operate with only one loop line. The switching between the loops of the panel is very easy
using the supplied clamp terminal blocks.
The time for test may vary according the length of the loop and the number of the connected devices.
Important notes:
•During the test the loop line must be disconnected from the control panel!
•DO NOT connect the fire control panel and the Loop Tester to the loop line simultaneously!
•The cable tests have to be done without connected devices to the loop line! If the cable tests are
made with connected devices, you must consider that the measured results would not be exact.
•For exact results in searching short circuits faults, breaks in the loop line and existing branches is
mandatory all devices in the loop/line to be with built-in isolator module –see the corresponding
table for SensoIRIS addressable devices in the Appendix.
•In case of installed devices without isolators in present operating fire alarm systems, you have to
consider that they will be displayed as separate branches in the system. When you have to search
for branches in a system including devices without connected isolator, we recommend to remove
them temporally before starting mentioned above test procedures.

4.3. Reading a Topology of a Loop/Line
The Loop Tester operation (test and addressing procedures) always starts from Loop Side A to Loop Side B –see
item 3.1. A list with avaliable devices in the loop/single line is reviewed in menu Loop Tests –Loop State (see item
4.5.1). The devices are displayed as a list according their set address in the system.
4.3.1 Reading of Unaddressed Loop/Line (New installations)
The advantage of the Loop Tester is that it is possible to read and test the characteristics of the fire cable,
connections in a loop or a line, and the mounted addressable devices for the site in advance, before connection to
the fire alarm control panel. In new installations the connected devices have no set addresses and the technician
has to address them first to perform the loop testing.
To perform testing of a new installation (unaddressed devices) follow the steps:
1. Connect the loop/line wires to the Loop Tester terminals as described in item 3.1.
2. Switch on the Loop Tester.
3. Enter in menu “Loop Test” and choose sub-menu “Loop Tools”. Select a test and press ENTER.
4. Select the option “Unaddressed loop” and confirm. Starting the procedure, the Loop Tester will set
sequential addresses to the devices according their order in the loop.
Note: You can run the addressing procedure again and change the set addresses later, when the loop is finally
connected to the fire alarm control panel.
4.3.2 Reading of Addressed Loop/Line (Present installations)
Attention: When you use the Loop Tester for diagnostic of present and already operating fire alarm
installation, it is strongly recommended first to save the existing configuration using specialised ProsTE
programming software!
To perform testing of a present installation (addressed devices) follow the steps:
1. Read the panel configuration with ProsTE software and save it as *TDF data file.
2. Power off the fire panel.
3. Disconnect the loop wires from the loop expander terminals.
4. Connect the loop/line wires to the Loop Tester terminals as described in item 3.1.
5. Switch on the Loop Tester.
6. Enter in menu “Loop Test” and choose sub-menu “Loop Tools”. Select a test and press ENTER.
7. Select the option “Addressed loop” and confirm.

4.4. Perform Cable Tests
This is a menu for performing test of the fire cable used in the installation. The test can be fully automatic or
manually selected separate single tests for different electrical values. It is recommended to run first the automatic
test for reviewing the general state of the cable and then, if it is necessary, to proceed with single tests.
The performed tests are for searching breaks, short circuits or earth fault of installed cable, which can disturb the
operability of the loop line.
Attention: The tests must be performed with no connected devices to the cable. If there are connected
devices, they have to be disabled or dismounted before running the desired tests.
Select Cable test menu and confirm with the ENTER button. Then choose auto or single cable test.

fault the tester will display message
“Short in Cable”.
To locate the place of the short-
circuit fault use Bisection method
as dividing the cable in equal parts
(1/2, 1/4, 1/8, etc), until finding the
faulty section. See also item 4.5.3.
Break in the cable
Run singe test “Test for Break”
again to confirm the presence
break in the positive or negative
cable wire. In case of fault the
tester will display message “Break
in Cable”.
To locate the place of the break
use Bisection method as dividing
the cable in equal parts (1/2, 1/4,
1/8, etc), until finding the faulty
section. See also item 4.5.3.
Earth fault in the cable
Run singe test “Leakage to Earth”
again to confirm the presence earth
fault in the positive or negative
cable wire. In case of fault the
tester will display message “Earth
fault”.
Search the earth fault as inspect
the grounding components in the
cable line, corrupted shield of the
cable, etc.
You can also use and the Bisection
method described in item 4.5.3.
Too High resistance
According the result in the Auto
Cable Test menu run the single test
for:
“R+ Cable”
“R- Cable”
“R Earth Cable”
In case of unusual high resistance
found the tester will display
message “R+/R-/Re=Too High”.
The error message “Too High” is
displayed when the detected
resistance in the positive cable
wire (R+), negative cable wire (R-)
or earth cable (Re) is higher than
400 Ohm. In such cases, it is
recommended to check the cable
and the joint connections
(terminals, base contacts). Check
also the cable length –it might be
too long.

4.5 Perform Loop Tests
This is a menu for performing test of the loop and the connected devices. It is recommended to run first the “Loop
state” automatic test for reviewing the general state of the loop and a list of the connected devices. The general
review will help you at the beginning to orientate for current faults, possible breaks or short-circuits in the loop, the
number of connected devices and troubles with them.
Attention: To perform more precise tests it is obligatory to use the built-in isolator module for all modules
and call points connected to the loop. It is recommended to use detectors and sounders with bult-in isolator
module (see the table in the Appendix). In installations where, detectors and sounders without built-in
isolators are already being used, the results for searching branches and localization of short-circuits and
break in the loop can be uncertain. In this case it is recommended for more precise results in searching of
errors to be performed and the bisection method (see item 4.5.3).

4.5.7 Searching for Branch Position
The branch is a sub-loop to the main loop. The connection topology diagrams are presented in item 3.2.
Attention: To perform accurate localization of the Branch position in the loop is mandatory all of the devices
in the loop to have a built-in isolator module!
In case of presence of devices without isolator, after performing this test they will be reported with type and
address and the branch search will be cancelled. For this reason, the devices without isolator, if present at
the site, must be removed in advance, before performing branch searching.
The presence of Short circuit and Break in the loop will generate an error message and the branch
searching process will be aborted.
Select “Branch position” and press ENTER button. During the analysing process a message “Please wait” and a
processing bar are displayed on the screen. The tester starts searching and during the test will show the total
number of addressed devices found in the loop (note that if a device is removed temporally it will not be included into
this number). At the last row is presented the real time searching as the tester goes through the loop devices.
At the final results screen are displayed the total number of found branches followed by the location where the first

In the “Addressing” section are accessible menus for different type of addressing devices in the loop. The menus are
common with those available in IRIS/SIMPO fire alarm panels. The menus allow performing two auto addressing
procedures by ID number or by isolator module (IS). The self-addressing procedure is used for quick adding of new
devices to free addresses. The last menu is for quick changing the current address of a device.

Attention: Performing the auto addressing procedures by ID number and by Isolator module, will erase all
currently set address numbers of the devices in the loop.
4.6.1 Autoaddressing by ID Number
The addressing procedure follows the order of the ID numbers of the devices connected to the line. The order is
according the device type starting with the smallest ID number in the loop: modules, sounders, detectors and manual
call points. It is possible to address devices with and without built-in isolator modules. No restrictions for addressing
detectors into branches.
Select “Autoaddressing ID” menu and press ENTER button. To start the procedure, select “Yes” option and press
ENTER again.

4.6.2 Autoaddressing by Isolator Module
This way requires all of the devices connected to the line to have a built-in or connected to the loop isolator module.
The tester starts the addressing of devices according their place following the order in the loop from side A to side B
–see item 3.1. There are some restrictions for addressing the detectors included into branches –see item 3.2.
Select “Autoaddressing IS” menu and press ENTER button. To start the procedure, select “Yes” option and press
ENTER again. During the addressing procedure, the screen displays the current number of found addressed devices
and the number of found branches.

After successful addressing a message “Successful” will appear on the screen followed from the total number of
addressed devices and the total number of found branches. The order of addressed devices can be reviewed in
“Loop State” menu – see item 4.5.1. The branch position can be reviewed in “Loop Tools” menus – see item 4.5.7.
Note: The addressing can be unsuccessful in case of found devices without isolator in the loop. In this case a fault
message “Branch in branch” will display on the screen and the addressing is aborted. It is recommended before
starting addressing by isolator module first to remove the devices without isolator module from the loop.
To escape from the “Autoaddressing IS” menu, press ESC button.
4.6.3 Selfaddressing of Devices
During this addressing procedure, the devices are added one by one to the loop (currently the detectors and
sounders are not mounted to the bases; the call points and modules are not connected to the loop).
Select “Selfaddressing” menu and press ENTER button. The tester will starts checking the current configuration as
during the process a message “Please wait” and a processing bar are displayed on the screen. When the reading is
complete the screen displays the total number of found addresses and the next free address in the system.

Press ENTER button to begin selfaddressing. Start to mount detectors one by-one. The tester will set the displayed
address number to the mounted device and automatically proceeds with next free address in the system. Every
device will confirm the new set address: with LED indication and/or with sound signal for sounders.
When all the new devices are added press ESC button to stop the procedure.
4.6.4 Changing the Address of a Device
In this menu the technician can change the current address of a device.
Select “Change address” menu and press ENTER button. The tester will starts checking the current configuration as
during the process a message “Please wait” is displayed on the screen. When the reading is complete the screen
displays two fields for setting the current address and the new address for the device. Use arrow buttons to set
address for changing and press ENTER button. The field “Set new addr” becomes active. Set the new address and
press ENTER to confirm.

After successful changing a message “Successful” will appear on the last row of the screen.
If “Busy new address” message is displayed on the last row that means the selected new address is already used in
the system configuration. In that case press ESC button to start the procedure again.
If “No device at:” message followed from an address number is displayed, that means no real device is found on the
current set address. In that case press ESC button to start the procedure again.
