6 - INSTALLING THE DEVICES
6.1 ADDRESSABLE LOOP WIRING
The Premier Quatro can be fitted with 1 or 4 addressable loop cards. One addressable loop can be connected to each loop card.
Addressable detectors, addressable call points, addressable loop powered sounders and several other interface units can be fitted
to these loops. A MAXIMUM OF 250 ADDRESSES CAN BE CONNECTED TO EACH LOOP. We recommend that the first and last devices
on a loop have isolator bases fitted. Also the last device on each zone should have an isolator fitted. This is to prevent a short circuit
fault in one zone affecting another zone. The screen cable at each end of the loop (not shown below) must be connected to the
Panel`s earth bar.

6.2 ADDRESSABLE LOOPS (Pre commissioning check)
At this stage it is important to remember devices (e.g. detectors, call points, sounders etc.) should not be connected yet, if a high
voltage “Megger” type tester is to be used to check for continuity of the loop wiring.
