Communications
Each XP95 device responds to interrogation and command from central control equipment. It communicates to the panel information on status, command bits, type, location, and other information that allows an alarm to be raised even when the device is not itself being interrogated. Message error checking is also provided. The devices are compatible with Series 90 systems and control equipment to aid maintenance, extension and upgrade of existing systems.

XPERT Card Addressing

A unique, patented addressing method provides simple, user friendly and accurate identification of detector location. A coded XPERT card (left) is inserted in the base. This can then be read by any XP95 (or Discovery) detector once it is plugged in. Using this method, all the electronic components are in the detector but the location information is held in the base. The XPERT card simplifies and speeds up installation and commissioning. Addressing errors during maintenance and service are eliminated.

The XP95 manual call points use DIL switch addressing, but the interrupt feature is extended to provide automatic reporting of call point location in the interrupt mode.

Alarm Flag
XP95 detectors provide an alarm facility that automatically puts an alarm flag on the data stream and reports its address when the pre-set EN54 thresholds are exceeded.
