Loop Cards

(VIG-LPC-EN and COMPACT-LPC-EN)

4188-1075 issue 3_Part 1_08/14

1

The Loop Cards (VIG-LPC-EN and COMPACT-LPC-EN) are for use in Vigilon and Vigilon Compact panels. The Cards 

can be identified by the

 ‘SEC-GEN LOOP CARD’ marking along the long edge on the component side of the PCB. There should 

also be a 

firmware version number label on the PCB, ensure the version requirements are met.

How to select a Loop card, MCC/MCB Card and PSU for 
typical device mix found on sites:
a) Choose a selection method.
b) Use the information below to find a solution for a site.

VAD is a ‘Visual Alarm Device’. 

The Loop card (VIG-LPC-EN or COMPACT-LPC-EN) must never be
used in a Vigilon panel based System having device mix with 
3400 sensors       .

Selection Method 1

a) Select a panel 
b) Select applicable cards and PSU build
c) Determine which site device mix will work,
    eg:       or      ----      etc.

For example:
If we have an EN Vigilon 4/6 loop panel 
(VIG-24) having Cards shown in      then        
it will work with site device 
mix      ,     ,     ,     or     .

Selection Method 2

a) Select a site device mix, eg       or      ----      etc.       
b) Note the number in circle.
c) Match the number in circle with cards and 
    panels.

For example:
If a site has device mix       is installed on a 2Km 
loop and you want to an EN Vigilon Compact 
panel (COMPACT-24) then Cards 
shown in      must be built into the panel

A 1Km or 2km loop length is the sum the length of cable used on 
the main loop and spur circuits off the main loop, on which 
system devices are connected.

Selection Method 3

a) Match the number in circle.

For example:
