3.2 Loop Learn
NB! LOOP LEARN WILL NOT AUTO ADDRESS DEVICES.
Loop learn requires all devices to be pre-addressed, e.g. using the CAPROG handheld
programmer
.
New addresses will not be assigned.
During a loop learn, the panel interrogates every pre-addressed device on the loop to see if an addressable
unit is present and, if so, find out what type of device it is.
At the panel, enter
AL3 (4444) > Commissioning Functions > Loop Learn.
When the LOOP LEARN prompt appears, press the Accept
button to continue.

When requested by the panel fit the NVM link shown below:
As the panel may already have loop device data stored in its memory from a previous loop learn or PC
upload, you will be asked if you want to erase this information before the loop learn begins.
You now have two options,
‘Erase Loop 1 device data first? No’, or ‘Erase Loop 1 device data first? Yes’, as
detailed below:
Option 1: Select ‘Erase Loop 1 device data first? No’
Use this option if you do not want to erase the stored loop device data. The panel will learn the loop without
overwriting existing data, e.g. zone and group allocation, device names, etc., which will remain unchanged.
The only data that will be overwritten is device type and whether or not it is fitted.
