Hi Friends
I have been asked to install an extra optical smoke detector in a new office.
I told the owner that there may be an issue if the system is all addressable-which later found out it is.
I also said that Im not eally into firealarm systems although have had some experience in this area on the installation side rather than the fault finding side.
Anyway he talked me into it so i got the smoke head and base, then split the loop on the fire alarm circuit.
Knowing that it was an addressable system I thought that I could duplicate the number of the smoke detector most local ie. within 3 mtrs of the new one, then it would come up on the system as the same area.
However it is flagging up a fault on the system, and saying that it is the MCP adjacent to the two smoke heads.
Once I had disabled the mcp, the system seems ok, albeit that the msg on the panel displays that the mcp is disabled.
Is there a way of clearing this? afterall the circuit has no breaks or faults, but just has an extra point?
Your input would be much appreciated.
Regards Steve
