ZoneSense PLUS can be surface or semi-ush mounted. The ABS version is supplied with a detachable
door, a mountable back box. Depending on the conguraon it may be necessary to remove the
baeries to expose the lower mounng keyhole.
All of which are easily removed should it be necessary.
Inside the door is a matrix style label for the recording of the panel conguraon.
3.1 Mounting the Enclosure
The panel MUST be mounted in an area that is NOT subject to condions likely to aect its
performance, e.g. damp, salt-air, water ingress, extremes of temperature, abuse etc. is at an easily
accessible height and such that the indicators are at eye level.
3.1.1 Fixing the Chassis to the Wall
Taking into account the total weight of the panel and baeries securely mount the panel.
The ABS (BX1) uses three keyhole mounng holes
The Metal Cabinet (BX10) uses two keyhole and two standard mounng holes
Use suitably sized screws and plugs for the type of mounng surface.
Mounng is best achieved by posioning the box against the surface it is to be mounted to, marking
the holes, taking the box well away from the surface and then drilling the holes.
Cauon: Any dust or swarf created during the xing process must be kept out of the cabinet and
great care should be taken not to damage any wiring or components.

Note: Care should be taken when detaching this connector as it is necessary to depress the small
locking tab to unlock the connector from its base. To reconnect the cable the connector must rst be
correctly aligned then pushed into the socket so it locks into posion.
1. Carefully remove the retaining screws at each corner of the board taking care not to damage
any of the components.
2. Place each board into an- stac storage once removed.
3.1.3 Removing the Knockouts
Carefully decide how the wiring will be brought into the panel then remove the required knock-outs
for the bushes and cables.
The knock-outs should be removed with a sharp tap in the rim of the knock-out using a at broad-
bladed screwdriver. Use of excessive force could damage the enclosure around the knock-out.
Always ensure if a knock-out is removed, the hole is lled with a good quality cable gland. Any unused
knock-outs must be securely blanked o.

4.1 Primary Power Supply
The Power Supply is;
➢A switch-mode design and operates from a mains supply of: 90VAC - 264VAC @ 47Hz - 63Hz;
➢Capable of supplying the system while all zones are in alarm; and
4.1.1 Mains wiring
The requirement for the Mains supply to the FACP is xed wiring, using three core cable (no less than
0.75mm and no more than 2.5mm ) or a suitable three conductor system, fed from an isolang
switch fuse spur, fused at 3A. This should be secured from unauthorised operaon and be marked
'FIRE ALARM: DO NOT SWITCH OFF. The Mains supply must be exclusive to the FACP.
4.1.2 Connecting the Panel
Connecng ZoneSense PLUS internal connecons and PCBs is best undertaken immediately prior to
Commissioning.
Before beginning ensure all devices on the circuits are correctly connected and that cable integrity is
veried throughout the installaon
Important: DO NOT use an insulaon tester ('Megger') with any electronic devices connected.
Faults occurring in the wiring which are not picked up at this stage will almost certainly result in
spurious and intermient faults when the equipment is energised.
4.1.3 Installing the Power Supply PCB
ZoneSense PLUS Power Supply PCB combines the funcons of a Mains to DC switched mode power
supply unit, baery charging unit and baery monitoring unit.
Important: Under no circumstances should the ZoneSense PLUS panel be operated without
the Power Supply PCB correctly mounted in the enclosure and the retaining screws securely ghtened.
4.1.4 Connecting the Mains
The technician should NOT aempt to connect Mains to the Panel unl fully conversant with the
layout and features of the Power Supply PCB.
The incoming Mains cable should be brought into the Panel at the top right hand side of the enclosure
and correctly terminated on the Chassis Earth Terminal and then to the Power Supply connector
block.
Note: Fuse F1 (2Amp Supply 1.25 Amp / 250VAC M205) (3 Amp Supply 2Amp /
250VAC M205) is eld replaceable
Before switching on the Power Supply the Earth MUST be connected to the chassis earth terminal.
1. All earth cabling must be terminated to the Panel Chassis Earth Terminal in a Star
conguraon.

MAN 2326-13

2. The earth cable closest to the cabinet body must have an M4 SPW beneath the lug then an
M4 SPW and M4 nut.
3. Each addional earth cable must be terminated with an M4 SPW and M4 nut.
4. An addional M4 nut and M4SPW are ed to the earth terminal for installers to connect
the mains earth

4.2 Battery Charger
The baery charger is an integral part of the Power Supply and is capable of;
➢Recharging standard sized system baeries within 24 hours;
➢Detecng a missing, damaged or undercharged baery;
➢Protecng the baery against reverse or a short circuit condion;
➢Charging baeries in line with Sealed Lead Acid baery manufacturers’ circuit temperature
compensaon guidelines.
Note: Baery disconnect has been incorporated to prevent the baery from discharging through
the baery charger should the charging voltage be less than the baery voltage.

4.3 Secondary Supply
In the event of a mains failure the backup baery is capable of maintaining the quiescent condion
for 72 hours as well as full alarm load for a further period of 30 minutes.
Note: Any power supply fault to be indicated within 1 hour.
4.3.1 Connecting the Stand-By Batteries
Two new, good quality and fully charged 12V Sealed Lead Acid baeries are required as the
emergency stand-by power supply for the Panel. They are to be mounted in the boom of the
cabinet. In the ABS version a protecve tray is supplied in the packaging.
The baeries should be connected in series using the series link wire provided and located within the
panel enclosure. The red and black baery leads from the Power Supply ( CN 3 ) should be run to the
baeries in such a way there is no risk of them being damaged then, connect the red wire to the
posive terminal and the black wire to the negave terminal .
The panel's sophiscated baery monitoring protects the baeries against deep discharge by
acvang a cut o circuit when the stand-by supply voltage reaches approx 21 volts. If baeries are
not ed, are discharged or in poor condion, the “POWER FAULT “LED will be illuminated.
The capacity of the baeries to be installed depends on the panel conguraon and required stand-
by me. To calculate the required AH capacity of the baeries refer to the calculaon guide located
in the rear of this manual.
4.4 Cable Types and Limitations
All System wiring should be installed to meet naonal wiring regulaons.
To shield the Panel from outside interference and ensure compliance with Electro Magnec
regulaons screened cables can be used throughout an installaon.
4.5 Powering Up the Panel
Note: It is not recommended to connect the baeries before applying mains power rst.
Ensure that the panel is free from swarf, wire ends, knockout blanks and any other debris
Ensure that all cable connecons to zones, sounder circuits and other inputs or outputs being used
are correct and that the wiring is formed neatly away from the surface of the circuit boards before
applying power.
Connect the mains, and turn on the Panel by switching the power supply switch to the on posion.
Check the polarity of the baery connecons carefully before proceeding.
Connect the baeries together rst by ng the baery link (typically a white cable) to a +ve terminal
of one baery and to a –ve terminal of the second baery.
Connect the red baery lead to the +ve terminal of the second baery and the black baery lead to
the –ve terminal of the other baery.
Note: It is not recommended to connect the baeries before applying mains power rst.

6.1 Earth Monitoring
The earth monitoring disable/enable feature is accessible via the SYSTEM menu at access level 3.
Disabling the earth monitoring does not illuminate the Earth Fault LED on the control panel.
Note: If ZoneSense PLUS is connected to a third party system which has earth monitoring and its
earth monitoring is being aected by ZoneSense PLUS even aer being disabled through
programming the resistor R22 on the Main Card in ZoneSense PLUS can be removed.
6.2 Communications
External Communicaons Terminals (RS485) TB2 1, 2 & 3
The RS 485 output drives the remote cards and mimics up to a distance of 1.2km from the panel itself.
The external cabling (2x2 shielded pair plus power) is wired to TB2 +, - and earth.
Note: If a fault occurs on the communicaons bus the common FAULT and SYSTEM FAULT LED’S
are illuminated and the details can be displayed on the LCD by selecng the Faults Menu.

6.4.3 Detector Removal Facility
This facility allows for up to 20 detectors to be removed from their bases at any one me. If a detector
head is removed a fault will be indicated on that zone and all the other devices retain the ability to
iniate an alarm. This facility requires;
➢Schoky diodes having a voltage drop of 0.2 – 0.3 of a volt to be installed across L1 in and L1
out on the detector base. The limitaon on the number of heads that can be removed is a
direct result of the cumulave eect of the voltage drop across each diode. Diodes will not
be required if the head removal facility is not required.
➢The use and programming of a bipolar capacitor as the end of line (EOL) device.
6.5 Zone Circuit Wiring TB13 - 14
Zone circuit connecons are made directly to TB13 & TB14 on the Main Card and if screened cabling
is used the screen is terminated at the panel's chassis earth terminal.
Reminder 1: A maximum of 32 ZoneSense PLUS compable Opcal / Heat Detectors or Manual
Call Points can be ed to each circuit and mixed in any order.
Reminder 2: An End of Line Capacitor must be connected across the terminals of the last device
on each circuit. Unused Zones must have an End of Line capacitor ed at the panel.

6.6 Monitored Alarms Outputs
The panel has 4 dedicated individually monitored outputs terminated to TB4 which are;
➢Rated at 500mA @ 24VDC nominal;
➢Protected against short circuits;
➢Monitored for open and short circuit condions even when an output is acve. The
monitoring operates on a reverse voltage principal and will indicate a fault within 60 seconds.
➢Programming which zones will operate any of the outputs is done via the front Panel.

6.7 Conventional Sounder Circuit Wiring
The four alarm outputs can be used for convenonal sounder circuits.
Note: All Sounders must be polarised.
An end of line resistor (10k) must be connected at the end of each circuit to allow the wiring to be
monitored.
The wiring for each circuit is connected to the relevant 5mm connector block on the Main Control
PCB and the screens terminated to the chassis earth terminal.
Figure 17: Typical Sounder Circuit Wiring
6.7.1 Sounder Loading and Distribution
The FACP's Power Supply is designed to give a maximum output current of 2A. In addion to powering
the sounders, this current is also used for handling short circuit faults, supplying the Panel's baery
charging circuit and any output relays that may be ed. As a safe margin and to allow for these other
loads, the total sounder loading for the panel should not exceed a maximum of 1.5A.
Each Output and or Sounder circuit is current limited to a maximum alarm current of 500mA. The
Sounders should be distributed throughout the building according to the sound levels required, and
the load distributed as equally as possible across each circuit.
6.8 Outputs –Monitored Modied Open Collector TB5
Denion: A monitored modied open collector output for user connecons such as a relay.
Via the front panel it is possible to program which zones will operate any of the outputs.
6.8.1 Alarm Output TB5 1/2
The output operates in parallel to the Alarm Output relay and energises in the alarm condion of a
zone that is isolated.
The output is current limited to 25mA @ 27VDC.
If a zone is congured as non-latching it will not operate this output.
6.8.2 Fault Output TB5 3/4
The output operates in parallel to the Fault Output relay and de-energises in any fault condion.
The output is current limited to 25mA @ 27VDC.
All faults except “System Faults” are non-latching.
