Setup and configuration of an addressable system is different than a conventional 
system.  In a conventional system, assignment of input devices (smoke detectors, pull 
stations, heat detectors, etc.) to zones is accomplished through wiring.  The wiring is 
direct from clearly marked panel terminals to any device assigned to a particular zone.  
Connection of output devices (horns, bells, strobes, etc.) in a conventional system is 
accomplished by direct wiring of the output devices to Notification Appliance Circuit 
terminals.
In an addressable system, a minimum of a single pair of wires (SLC communication 
loop) is used to connect all addressable input and output devices.  Communications 
between the FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel) and all addressable devices takes place 
over the wire pair which originates from the FACP.  Software programming is used to 
configure the system as opposed to direct wiring.  Zone assignments are created via 
software means, hence the term software zones.
Setup of an 

MS-9200UDLS

 software zone is accomplished by panel programming.  Each 

addressable device can be assigned to a maximum of five software zones.  Each 
software zone, however, may have from 1 to 99 addressable input devices assigned to it 
and from 1 to 99 addressable output devices assigned to it.  
Monitor and control modules comprise one group of 99 addresses, with each module 
having a unique address from 1 to 99.  Detectors comprise a separate group of 99 
addresses, each detector having a unique address from 1 to 99 in its group.  Be careful 
not to duplicate addresses within any one group (modules and detectors).  Refer to the 
following page for an example of zoning.  
In the example on the following page:

• Zone 01 has the following addressable devices assigned to it:

SD350 smoke detectors with addresses 01 and 02

MMF-300 monitor module with address 01

MMF-302 monitor module with address 02 and 03

CMF-300 control modules with addresses 05, 06, 07, 09 and 13

• Zone 02 has the following addressable devices assigned to it:

MMF-302 monitor module with addresses 02 and 03

CP350 smoke detectors with addresses 03 and 04

CMF-300 control modules with addresses 08, 09 and 10

• Zone 03 has the following addressable devices assigned to it:

SD350 smoke detectors with addresses 05, 06 and 07

MMF-302 control module with address 04

CMF-300 control modules with addresses 09, 11 and 12

The example points out some of the key assignment features of the 

MS-9200UDLS

.  

Addresses of detectors are not duplicated.  Addresses of monitor and control modules 
are not duplicated.  The control module with address 09 is assigned to three software 
zones (providing floor above and floor below).  Be careful to properly plan the 
installation prior to installing any devices.
