Eaton xDetect EFXD05001 | Single Loop Card | 1-Loop Expansion Module
£69.25 (inc VAT: £83.10)
Summary
The Eaton xDetect Loop Card 1L Protocol 800 (EFXD05001) is a modular addressable loop interface card designed for the xDetect fire alarm control panel system. This single-loop card forms the critical communication backbone between the control panel and up to 200 addressable field devices, providing reliable Protocol 800 connectivity with 600mA maximum current capacity per loop.
Featuring Eaton’s signature colour-coded design philosophy, the loop card enables instant field identification and simplifies maintenance procedures through integrated status LEDs that provide real-time operational feedback. The hot-swappable architecture allows installers to replace or upgrade cards without disrupting other system functions, minimising downtime during service or expansion work.
As part of the EN54-2 and EN54-4 certified xDetect platform, this loop card integrates seamlessly with the modular card-frame architecture, supporting both small (7-card) and large (12-card) enclosure configurations. The card’s design supports the fault-tolerant ring network topology that eliminates the need for redundant cabling, delivering significant installation cost savings while maintaining robust system reliability for commercial and industrial fire detection applications.

FAQs
How many devices can be connected to a single EFXD05001 loop card?
Each EFXD05001 loop card supports up to 200 addressable devices per loop, with a maximum current load of 600mA. The actual number of devices will depend on the current consumption of the connected detectors, call points, interfaces and other peripherals on the loop.
Can I replace the loop card without shutting down the entire xDetect panel?
Yes, the EFXD05001 is hot-swappable, meaning it can be replaced whilst other loops remain operational. Loop card failure is confined to one circuit only, with all other loops continuing to function normally. This modular design minimises downtime and allows for rapid fault rectification.
What is the maximum cable run length for the loop card?
The EFXD05001 supports a maximum loop length of 2km, providing flexibility for larger installations and distributed building layouts. The card works with xDetect’s fault-tolerant ring network topology which includes built-in isolators for enhanced reliability.
Is the EFXD05001 compatible with all xDetect panel sizes?
Yes, the loop card is compatible with both small enclosures (7-card frame supporting 1-2 loops) and large enclosures (12-card frame supporting 1-4 loops). The modular design allows you to configure the system according to your specific project requirements.
What Protocol 800 devices can I connect to this loop card?
The EFXD05001 works with the full range of Protocol 800 compatible addressable devices including optical and heat detectors, multi-sensor detectors, manual call points, input/output modules, sounders, beacons and interface modules. Visit Eaton’s compatibility list for the complete range of supported peripherals.
How does the colour-coded design help with installation and maintenance?
Each loop card features distinctive colour coding that allows installers and maintenance engineers to quickly identify the card type and its function within the panel. Combined with local status LEDs on each card, this design significantly reduces troubleshooting time and helps prevent installation errors.
