Step 1 - Install Panel & Loop Module
The control panel and loop module require installation into their proposed locations. Refer to the Fusion loop module installation guide (TSD077) for detailed information.
After the control panel and loop module are installed and powered, the loop module will display the following default screen:
DEV01 AL00 FT00
Where:
- DEV01 = Total number of devices on the system (between 00 & 31).
- AL00 = Total number of devices in alarm condition (between 00 & 31).
- FT00 = Total number of devices in fault condition (between 00 & 31).
By default, the loop module is set to device address 001. This can be changed if necessary. For comprehensive details, download the Fusion loop module programming manual (TSD062) from www.emsgroup.co.uk.
Step 2 - Power Up the Devices
Detectors, sounders, call points, and input/output units have power jumpers as illustrated:

Combined sounder detectors are powered by orienting switch 1 as follows:
Switch 1 ON = POWER ON
Diagram showing a switch labeled 'Switch 1' with 'ON' and 'OFF' positions. The 'ON' position is highlighted, indicating 'POWER ON'.
Step 3 - Add & Install Devices
To log devices, ensure the loop module is in the correct operating menu. Press the device log-on button until the red confirmation LED lights next to it illuminate. (Note: on call points, the alarm LED is used for this feature).
From the front display:
[Screen displaying 'Add New Device'] screen displays. Press 'Dev Log On' followed by:
[Screen displaying 'Add Dev 03456 Y?'] select required address. [Screen displaying 'Detector Added.']
[BACK button] to exit.
The device now needs to be installed at its location. Consult the associated device installation guide for more information.
Step 4 - Add Devices to Control Panel
Devices must be added to the connected control panel, ensuring consistency of device addresses with the loop module. Combined sounder/detectors will occupy two loop addresses: one for the sounder and one for the detector.
Step 5 - Check Device Signal Levels
Device signal levels can be viewed in the 'Signal Level' menu:
From front display ? Device Status ? select desired device ? Signal Level
This menu displays information on the two signalling channels used by the loop module. Signal levels range from 0 to 45dB, with 45dB being the strongest signal and 0dB indicating no signal reception.
Signal Level Indicators:
| Signal Level | Indication |
|---|---|
| 20dB or greater | Indicates a good signal level |
| 13 to 19dB | Indicates a medium signal level |
| 8 to 12dB | Indicates a low signal level |
| 1 to 7dB | Indicates a caution signal level |
| 0dB | Indicates no signal level is being received |
[BACK button] to exit.
Step 6 - Test Devices
The system can now be tested to confirm correct operation. Available analogue values and their corresponding symptoms are listed below:
| Analogue Value | Device Type | Symptom |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | All | Battery missing |
| 1 | Detector | Head fault |
| 1 | Sounder | No audio output |
| 2 | Detector | Head missing |
| 3 | Sounder | Head missing |
| 4 | All | Tamper |
| 4 | Input / output | Input open / short circuit |
| 4 | Loop module | Aerial tamper |
| 7 | All | Batteries low - replace within 30 days |
| 13 | All | Radio signal strength caution |
| 14 | All | Radio signal strength low |
| 16 | Call point, sounder & input / output | Radio signal strength good or medium |
| 20 | Detector | Radio signal strength medium |
| 25 | Detector | Radio signal strength good |
| 35 | Detector | Detector head dirty |
| 50 | Detector | Pre-alarm |
| 64 | Call point | Alarm condition |
| 85 | Detector | Alarm condition |
