Notifier INSPIRE E10/E15 Control Panels - Commissioning Ensure Modules are installed into their allowed slot locations It is required that the Charger module is always fitted in Slot 1 of the module carrier and CPU Module fitted in Slot 2 of Module Carrier.
The Notifier INSPIRE E10/E15 Control panel Dual Loop module Opal (HOP-433-100) has the capacity to allows connection of up to 318 loop OPAL devices per analogue loop, consisting of up to 159 detectors and 159 modules.
Notifier INSPIRE E10/E15 Control Panels - Commissioning LOOP WIRING TESTS Refer to the module installation instructions to identify the terminals for cable connections. NEVER use a high-voltage tester on the detection loop. Once any loop devices are connected, no high-voltage testers, such as Megger may be used on the loop circuit;...

Notifier INSPIRE E10/E15 Control Panels - Commissioning POL 200 TOOL If available use the POL-200-TS tool to check and test loop circuits. POL200 tool can be used to capture more detailed diagnostics as it works in both Opal and Clip protocols.
Commissioning after the links in the isolators have been removed and the system has been configured). Use a meter to check that there are no connections between each cable screen and: the +ve conductor of the cable the -ve conductor of the cable. Note: It is recommended that the cable screen is earthed at the panel.
Notifier INSPIRE E10/E15 Control Panels - Commissioning INITIAL POWER UP The Panel must only be powered up initially without the external wiring connected. Ensure adequate precautions are taken to safe guard against inadvertent switching on of power to the panel and to the associated system equipment during commissioning.
Commissioning OTHER EXTERNAL WIRING Refer to the appropriate module wiring instructions to identify the terminals for cable connections. Commissioning the external wiring comprises the following main steps: Check the module external wiring for continuity, short circuits and open circuits. Connect the external wiring to the panel. Check for faults after the external wiring is connected to the powered-up panel.
