Det-Tronics EagleVision - PC - Manual (Page 10)

Before building the configuration database, the operator must know
exactly what hardware is used in the system.
System type — Eagle 2000 or Eagle Quantum?
How many LONs are being used?
How many and what type of field devices?
Input devices:
Flame detectors — UV, UV/IR
Gas Detectors — DCU with combustible, H2S, PointWatch, etc.
IDCs
Output devices:
SAMs
ARMs
Power supply monitors
Gateways
Main gateway (required)
Auxiliary gateways (up to 3)
Logic Controllers
Power supplies
LIOU
Release boards
Sounder boards
Relay boards
After determining the type and number of field devices, each device
must be assigned an address.
• Main gateway must be address 1.
• Addresses 2 to 4 are reserved for auxiliary gateways.
• Logic controllers occupy two adjacent addresses. They are assigned
an odd address and automatically assume the following even
address. For convenience it is recommended to work up from
address 5.
• The remaining addresses are available for field devices.
NOTE
The gateway relays are programmed to monitor a “block” of
addresses. Take this into account when selecting addresses for
field devices.
1. To start a new database, select “New” under the “File” menu.
2. To save the project, select “Save” under the “File” menu. If the file
