LOOPDRIVE
Fault Isolator Module
DETECT, LOCATE AND ISOLATE IN LESS THAN 4 SECONDS... WE BROADCAST!
The loudspeaker line isolator Fault Isolator Module (FIM) is the successor in our range of loudspeaker loop-isolator devices that are using our patent technology to deliver a higher level of availability of evacuation loudspeaker lines that are installed according to the return-loop principle.
A loudspeaker failure in a faulty section between any two FIM’s in the loop is automatically detected and isolated in order to ensure maximum availability of the remaining loudspeakers on that same loop. The FIM protects the loop integrity against any open and wire-to-wire short circuits.

No extra cable! No extra junction box!
​
The T-branch output of the FIM interfaces directly with the input of the single loudspeaker through the fixing-hole of the Loopdrive housing and the compression gland.
​
The FIM is equiped with wago push-terminals that accept up to 2,5 mm2 core installation cable. A Loopdrive housing.

Certificate FIM : EN54-17:2005 - 0560-CPR-142190002 - EP 0967833B1
​
ALTERNATIVE STYLE LOOPS: The FIM is used at it’s T-Branch to feed a single loudspeaker or a group of loudspeakers to limit the on-going effect to the devices on the main loop.
NOTE: The maximum number of loudspeakers between FIM’s is not limited within the maximum LOOP-load of 800 W, however, National standards may limit the amount of loudspeakers between Isolators.
Loopdrive FIM-VC and Loopdrive FIM-RC are two modules that allow differentiated control between background music and zone calls using existing 2-wire infrastructures.
Loopdrive FIM-VC
The FIM-VC is a T-branch field-isolator-module with integrated volume control for the T-branch speaker load. A pilot-tone send over the speaker line will force the FIM-VC into ‘override’ mode forcing the attached volumecontrole to switch to MAX. audio level.
Any local music source connected to the FIM-VC through the AUX input will mute.
The FIM-VC comes with a 11-step wall-controller. -9 / MAX / AUX.
The FIM-VC volume controller is equipped with an AUX entry for a local audio source that overrides by paging and emergencies.

Loopdrive FIM-RC
The FIM-RC acts as a remote contact interface that can activate or deactivate a third party instrument or equipment that needs to be triggered during a live-broadcast of an evacuation event.
The FIM-RC sits in the LOOP and receives the broadcast audio message. As soon as the broadcast audio message contains a 20 kHz pilote-tone, the on-board relays of the FIM-RC will change state into ‘override’ mode. The state change is latched as long as the pilote-tone is received.
Depending on the function of the third party instrument or equipment, the FIM-RC offers two potential free NC and a NO switching contacts.
FIM-RC module comes with:
​
-
2x change-over relay contact for third party equipment switching
-
dual state relays, 8A/230VAC
-
Override function based on 20kHz tone detection (@7,5Vrms)
-
fixing screw for cable-tray / fire-dome mounting
-
cable release tool
-
Protection rate: IP21

FIM-J Junction box comes with:
​
-
connection board with WAGO pushterminals and 2,2uF capacitor with shorting-bridge
-
(can be cut out)
-
fixing screw for cable-tray / fire-dome mounting
-
cable release tool
-
Protection rate: IP21
Loopdrive FIM-I
FIM-I module comes with:
​
-
2-wire electronic isolating module with WAGO push-terminals
-
fixing screw for cable-tray / fire-dome mounting
-

Loop Drive Booster (LDB)
The Loop Drive Booster (LDB) is the heart of the Loopdrive system. This device drives up to 200 FIM’s over a dual-core cable. A single LDB can pass 800 W of audio signal from an amplifier and injects at the same time DC to the loop for powering and managing FIM modules. One amplifier channel can be split into multiple LDB in parallel, creating multi-loop with individual surveillance for multi-zone paging applications.
The LDB clicks on a DIN-rail that provides DC-power and accommodate for the RS485 data connection and GeneralFault contact to a maximum of 32-LDB’s on a single DIN-rail. Front buttons and indicators allow for quick access to the various functions and indications of the Loopdrive system.
​
SNIFFER is not only visualizing the various commissioning procedures but also provide streamlined methods for faultfinding and device allocating without the direct need for a digital communication protocol over the 2-wire audio line’s. It fulfills the user’s needs and expectations by far.
