Introduction Devices CLIP CLIP (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) polls devices in sequential order. Many but not all Flash-Scan-capable devices can be set to run in CLIP mode; see installation sheet shipped with the device. 1.5.2 Protocol Use LCM-320/LEM-320 loops on NFS2-640, NFS2-3030, NFS-3030 and NFS-640, and SLC loops on NFS-320 can run in FlashScan mode or CLIP mode.
Devices Introduction 1.6.4 Relay Modules These addressable modules provides the control panel with a dry-contact output for activating a variety of auxiliary devices. • FRM-1 Relay Module with two Form-C relays; FlashScan or CLIP mode. • XP6-R Controls six independent Form-C relays; FlashScan or CLIP mode. 1.6.5 Multiple Input/Output Modules These addressable modules offer dual input and/or dual ouput in a single device.
Introduction Devices and replace FSP-851, FSP-851T, and FSP-851R, which all supported FlashScan or CLIP mode. (Earlier versions named FSP-751 and FSP-751T [both discontinued] also supported FlashScan or CLIP mode, but were not listed for use in ducts. Earlier models named SDX- 551, SDX-751, and SDX-551TH were CLIP mode only.
SLC Capacity Introduction 1.7 SLC Capacity The protocol selected for an SLC loop determines the maximum number of devices that can be handled by the loop (see Section 1.5, “Polling Protocols”, on page 11). Within those limits, the individual control panel may have additional restrictions. See the specific installation manual for this information.
Section 2: Wiring Requirements 2.1 Recommended SLC Wiring Depending on the panel, there are two recommended options for SLC wiring: • Twisted, unshielded pair: NFS-320, NFS2-640, NFS-640, NFS2-3030, NFS-3030, LCM-320, LEM-320, LIB-200A, LIB-400.
