Two menu inserts are available to label the panel controls and indicators. In its
default configuration, the panel does not use EN 54-13 zone supervision, and the
corresponding insert has no Fault Output Fault/Disabled LED.
When the panel is configured for EN 54-13 zone supervision, the corresponding
insert shows a Fault Output Fault/Disabled LED for use in the fault warning
output supervision required by EN 54-13.

Cabinet installation
Preparing the cabinet
Before installing the cabinet, remove the front cover, and then remove cable
knockouts from the top, bottom, and rear of the cabinet as required.
Where to install the cabinet
Make sure the installation location is free from construction dust and debris, and
immune to extreme temperature ranges and humidity. (See Chapter 5 “Technical
specifications” on page 71 for more information on the operating temperature and
relative humidity specifications.)
Allow for enough floor and wall space so the panel can be installed and serviced
without any obstructions. The cabinet should be mounted so that the user
interface is at eye level.
Note that the control panel must be assembled and installed according to the
ordinances and codes that are in effect in your market or region.

To fix the control panel cabinet to the wall:
1. Mark drill points on the wall, using the cabinet as a template.
2. Drill all required holes and insert a 6 mm wall plug into each.
3. Insert screw (1) half way and hang the cabinet onto this screw.
4. Insert screws (2) and tighten.
5. Insert screws (3) and tighten.
6. Tighten screw (1).

1X-E4 Series Installation Manual 7
Menu inserts
The last step in installing the cabinet is to apply the menu insert that corresponds
to the intended system configuration.
The default configuration does not use EN 54-13 zone supervision. For this
configuration, use the printed insert identified as NEN 2575.
If the panel will be configured to use EN 54-13 zone supervision, the
corresponding insert includes a label for the Fault Output Fault/Disabled LED.
Use the printed insert identified as NEN 2575 - EN 54-13.
To apply the menu inserts:
1. Add the detection zone names and evacuation area names to the top insert
segment.
Detection zone names go in the left column. Evacuation area names go in the
right column, above the preprinted LED label text.
2. Detach the four insert segments from the sheet.
3. Remove the control panel cover.
4. Insert each segment in the appropriate slot, as shown in Figure 3 below.
Make sure that the inserts are positioned correctly.
5. Replace the control panel cover.

Connecting zones and zone devices
Connecting zones
Connect zone wires as shown in Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6, and Figure 7
above. Line resistance is shown in Table 3 below.

[1] Mixed zones are not permitted in installations requiring EN 54
-13 or intrinsically-safe
configuration.
To measure the line resistance:
1. Create a short circuit at the end of the zone line.
2. Measure the resistance between the positive and negative lines with a
multimeter.
Note: The default zone detection settings for each operating mode can be found
in Appendix A “Configuration presets” on page 79. To change the zone detection
setting, see “Advanced configuration” on page 40.
Terminating zones
Zone termination is required at all times, whether the zone is used or not. The
type of termination depends on the installation, as shown in Table 4 below.

Connecting detectors
Connect detectors as shown in Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6, and Figure 7 starting
on page 9.
The panel supports conventional detectors. To guarantee optimal operation, use
the detectors specified in the compatibility list. For more information on fire
detectors, see Chapter 5 “Technical specifications” on page 71.
Connecting manual call points
Connect manual call points in parallel, as shown in Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6,
and Figure 7 starting on page 9. Each zone circuit can support up to 32 manual
call points.
Manual call points must have a resistance installed in series with the normally
open (NO) contact to avoid short-circuit faults and to allow the control panel to
identify the origin of the alarm (automatic or manual). Note that many of the
MCPs in the compatibility list already include this resistor.
The resistance required will depend on the zone type as shown in Table 5 below.

Connecting inputs
Input functionality
Each control panel has two inputs, marked INPUT1 and INPUT2. These circuits
are connected as normally open and activated when closed.
Both inputs are configurable (see “Input configuration” on page 47). The default
functionality of each input is defined by the panel operating mode and EN 54-13
configuration. See Table 6 below.
