When adding a SIB-2048, SIB-2048A or a SIB-NET to the panel, the Serial
Interface Board must first be physically installed and then installed in software. If
the board is plugged in but not enabled in software, the EIA-232 interface will
work, but the EIA-485 will not.
Corrective Action:
1) Confirm that the SIB has been installed in the correct location.
2) Verify that the Intelligent Serial Interface Board (ISIB) has been installed in
Full or Partial System Programming. After enabling the ISIB in programming,
the panel must be powered down.
3) Compare the software EPROM number on the SIB to the rest of the software
in the panel and verify that it forms a complete set.
4) If the EIA-485 interface still does not function, replace the SIB.
If the system seems to add characters without any buttons being pushed, check
for the presence of an LCD-80 in terminal mode. If one or more exists, check the
DIP switches of SW3. These switches must be thrown together; if one is on,
then both need to be on and visa versa. Noise characters can be transmitted if
these switches are not set correctly. If trouble persists after confirmation of the
switches, disconnect the 485 connector from the DIA or CCM-1 while program-
ming. Disconnecting the 485 connector allows programming, but does not
correct noise problems. Further troubleshooting is recommended, check wiring,
and/or call Notifier Technical Services for more information.
No. In Full or Partial Point Programming the control panel only gives the user the
option of mapping the device to one annunciator point. A solution to the problem
is to map the device to a zone, and then map the zone to an annunciator point.
Example: The user wishes to annunciate a single addressable detector (L3D65)
at two locations (Annunciator 01, Point 02 and Annunciator 09, Point 01).
This can be done by mapping the detector directly to one annunciator point and
by indirectly mapping it to the other annunciator point through a software zone.
Note: A control module may be annunciated in the same manner. However,
mapping a device through a zone to a second annunciator only works for
annunciation purposes. Only the annunciator point that is directly mapped may
be used for control of that module. The second annunciator point is purely for
annunciation. If control from both locations is required, Shadow Annunciators
must be used.
After Adding a SIB-2048,
SIB-2048A or SIB-NET to
the Panel, the EIA-232
Interface Works, but the
EIA-485 Does Not.
