As our policy is one of constant product improvement the right is therefore reserved to modify product specifications without prior notice
1
Minimum/maximum specifications for the AUX, and Sounder outputs. Detector Loop voltage is not dependant on AC or battery voltage.
2
Only applicable if the panel is configured to turn off the charger in alarm. Otherwise, Imax(b)=Imax(a).
3
Total output current from panel not to exceed Imax(b) less internal power consumption.
4
Aux supply tracks a maximum of 0.5V below battery terminal voltage when no mains supply is available.

2.2.1 Opening the Enclosure Cover
The enclosure covers are provided with a key-lock assembly for securing the hinged door to the back box. Insert
and turn the key anti-clockwise to open the enclosure.
2.2.2 Removing the Chassis
It is recommended that the chassis be removed before fitting the panel to the wall. To remove the chassis:
Disconnect the earth cable connecting the chassis to the spade terminal on the rear enclosure.
Unplug the 3-way connector feeding the AC supply to the Base Card.
Disconnect the ribbon cable connecting the display to the base card at the display.
Loosen the two screws holding the chassis to the back box. There is no need to remove these screws fully –the
chassis plate has keyhole style mounting holes. Carefully remove the chassis from the rear enclosure and place
in a safe place to prevent accidental damage.
Do not lift the chassis by holding onto any of the printed circuit cards. Hold the chassis by the
metal plate only.
2.2.3 Mounting the Enclosure
Firstly, remove the required knockouts for the installation wiring. There are sufficient knockouts on the top of the
enclosure for all installation wiring. In addition, there are knockouts at the top of the back wall, if required, for
rear entry cabling.
The enclosure is provided with three fixing points.
The diagrams opposite and below show the
positions of the three holes and dimensions of each
enclosure. Use all three positions to ensure the
panel is held securely to the wall.
Drill the required holes in the supporting wall using a
drill bit diameter 7.0 mm and plug with a suitable
40mm or longer expansion plugs. Affix the panel to
the wall with M5 screws or No.10 screws. Use
appropriate fixings to support the weight including
the batteries.
Ensure that there is sufficient space to allow the
door to be opened when the panel is mounted.
Finally, use a brush to remove any dust or swarf
from inside the enclosure.

2.2.4 Remounting the Chassis
Carefully replace the chassis and fix into place using the two screws.
Reconnect the chassis earth cable to the spade terminal in the rear of the enclosure, reconnect the display
cable to the display card and then reconnect the AC supply lead to the Base Card.

2.2.5 Recommended Cable Routing Arrangement
It is recommended
that the typical
routing arrangement
shown in the diagram
opposite be
employed.
Segregate the low
voltage wiring (Loop
Circuit, Sounder
Circuits and AUX
Supply) from the AC
Mains Wiring.
Segregate any wiring
connected to the
relay contacts.
Refer to Appendix 2 –
Recommended Fire
Rated Cables for
further information on
cable types to be
used.
Refer to specific
sections on how to
install AC Mains input
and loop, sounder,
relay and AUX
outputs circuits.

2.3 Loop Driver Installation
The 5100, 5100V and 5100N panels are factory fitted with one loop driver.
The 5200, 5200V and 5200N panels can be fitted with up to two loop drivers –factory fitted with at least one
loop driver.
The 5400, 5400V and 5400N panels can be fitted with up to four loop drivers –factory fitted with at least one
loop driver.
2.3.1 Fitting the cards
To extend the number of detector loops or to
replace an existing loop driver card follow the
procedure described below.
Examples of the loop drivers are shown opposite.
These cards are populated with components on
both sides of the cards –the main side view is
shown for both examples.
NITTAN
APOLLO / HOCHIKI / AV
Loop Driver –Main Component Side View
Isolate ALL sources of power before
installing or removing printed circuit
boards.
Observe anti-static precautions at all
times when handling printed circuit
boards.
A section of the Base Card identifying the
locations for each loop driver is shown in the
pictures below.
To install a loop driver, operate the locking tabs of
the card guides, then gently guide the loop driver
printed circuit card into the card guide slots and
then push into place onto the connector on the
Base Card.
Ensure that the pins of the connectors are
correctly aligned. The loop driver should be
inserted with the main component side of the
board placed on the left-hand side. The Base
Card can accept from one up to four loop driver
cards –it does not matter which positions are
used. Ensure that the detector loop wiring is made
to the terminal block positions appropriate to the
loop driver cards actually installed.
1-LOOP CARD
2-LOOP CARD
4-LOOP CARD
Loop positions are numbered 1 –4 from the left hand side.

2.3.2 Removing a Loop Driver Card
To remove a loop driver, remove all power and follow the procedure above but:
Take a firm hold of top of the loop driver card. Gradually and carefully pull the loop driver vertically
away from the base card and guide it out of the slots in the card guides.
2.4 Plug-In / Peripheral Bus Modules
All panels provide provision for installation / use of local peripheral cards to provide additional functions. The
peripherals are connected via an isolated bus interface.
Each panel supports either a plug-in 2-Way Relay card or a plug-in General Routing Interface card (peripheral
bus module).
All panels also support the connection of up to sixteen Mxp-034 4-Way Programmable Sounder Modules
5
, up
to sixteen Mxp-035 4-Way Programmable Relay Modules and other peripheral bus modules housed in separate
enclosures. All panels except the small enclosure (/S) support the mounting of one peripheral module on the
chassis plate.
Refer to the wiring installation section (2.5.8) for details of how to connect the peripheral modules and section
(2.5.5) for details of the network connections.
2.4.1 Routing Interface Card (Plug-In)
Outputs to Routing Equipment –Clauses 7.9 and 8.9.
Output to Fire Protection Equipment –Clause 7.10
The Routing Interface Card provides monitored outputs for connection to
Fire Routing Equipment (Item E) and Fault Routing Equipment (Item J)
or to Fire Protection Equipment (Item G) in accordance with EN54-2.
The Mxp-532 Interface
card is fitted to the
base card using 1x M3
screw and 3x plastic
pillars. A metal pillar is
pre-fitted to the base
card. Refer to the
diagram opposite.
All signals and power
required for operation
of the card are
provided on the plug-in
connections.
Ensure that the
connections are
correctly aligned.
The screw fixing is
essential for EMC
Immunity protection.
