2 PANEL's FUNCTIONS
2.1 The panel has been designed for the centralized and stand-alone protection of
premises against fires by continuous control of up to 4 zone statuses.
2.2 The panel complies with the requirements of EN54-2:2003, EN 54-4:2003.
The panel is intended for continuous operation in premises under the following
environmental conditions:
–operating temperature range from – 5 to 40°С;
–relative air humidity up to 95 % at 40 °С;
–atmospheric air pressure 86 - 107 kPa.
2.3 The panel can be connected with 2- and 4-wire alarm loops.
2.4 Detectors both increasing and decreasing zone current can be used with the
panel.
2.5 Active detectors produced by ARTON can be wired to a panel’s loop without
current limiting resistors.
2.6 The panel is used to identify and display the following AL statuses:
- Standby mode,
- ATTENTION,
- FIRE,
- Fault –S/C,
- Fault - O/C,
- Fault – exceeding compensation limit (1);
- Fault – detector’s sensor failure(1);
- Fault – detector’s system error(1);
5

- AL disabled.
(1): When using intellectual smoke detectors ELITE series produced by ARTON.
Note: The ATTENTION status is issued upon detector’s first triggering if AL operation
algorithm is with verification, or with two detectors wait-to-trigger.
2.7 The panel identifies and indicates the following fault types and statuses for
outputs, power supply and the panel in general:
–S/C in load circuit at outputs enabling;
–open load of disabled outputs SND1, SND2, FIRE, FAULT (open load monitoring
for AUX1, AUX2 can be enabled when you configure the panel);
–failure of voltage powering outputs and AL;
– mains failure;
– critical discharge or rechargeable battery absence;
–battery fault;
–charger fault;
–auxiliary back-up power supply fault;
–system error.
2.8 When the panel’s lid has been opened by an unauthorized user or if the wrong
access code has been entered 4 times the panel goes into the alarm condition and issues
notifications for FMS.

5.2 Operation
5.2.1 General overview
The panel monitors statuses of 4 fire alarm loops.Depending on the zone current
change, panel’s condition and program settings, the panel goes to the state with
corresponding specific optical indicators’ light, internal buzzer sounding, enablement of
primary and auxiliary sounders, activation of other programmable outputs and relays.
Also the panel provides alarm notifications and messages about FMS faults given
connected communication appliances.
The following statuses are provided by the panel:
-«STANDBY»;
-«ATTENTION»;
-«FIRE»;

-«FAULT»;
-«DISABLEMENT»;
-«AUTHORISED USER»;
-«PROGRAMMING».
Each zone regardless of others can be in the statuses «STANDBY », «FIRE», «S/C»,
«O/C», «DISABLEMENT», «ATTENTION».
The light indicators are located on the front of the enclosure that indicate panel’s
modes and each loop status (see Appendix 5).
5.2.2 Access levels
Four access levels are available on the panel.

9

The user access is limited by actions that do not require the use of a special tool or
opening the panel’s lid. The authorized user controls can be accessed by entering the
access code. Each of 4 users has his unique code. The access code is the character chain
from [1] to [8] with length from 1 to 8 characters. The access code is entered with
[1]…[8] buttons and confirmed by pressing the Select button.
For default access codes for all users please refer to Section 8.15.
The following controls are available on the level:
– resetting Fire, Fault, Alarm, Attention modes;
– resetting all zones (temporal deenergising of all zones);
– disabling and enabling of separate zones;
– disabling and repeated enabling of sounders;
– disabling and repeated enabling of Fire output signal;
– disabling and repeated enabling of Fault output signal.
Level 3 – engineer controls (programming mode)
Panel’s parameters can be changed on the level. To gain access to the mode enter the
engineer access code (factory default - [12344321]) and press the Select button.
The code is a string of numeric characters from [1] to [8], from 8 to 12 digits.
Level 4 – maintenance
Special auxiliary hardware and software are involved here (used at the factory or
service centers).

default), additional sounder output or +12V auxiliary device power
output);

outputs status in active and passive states;
-Active time of the outputs «AUX1» and «AUX2» (from 2 sec to
«no limit»);
10

-Activation conditions of outputs in the sounder mode (response to the
status «FIRE», «FAULT» and/or «ATTENTION» in a zone, response to the
general FAULT state);
-Zone list involved in the activation condition of an output on AND/OR;
-Types of output load control (only «S/C», only «O/C», «S/C» and «O/C»,
without load control).
Relay outputs «Relay1» and «Relay2»
-Relay modes. The parameter determines the relay status in active and
passive states;
-Relay active time (from 2 sec to «no limit»);
-Relay activation conditions (response to the «FIRE», «FAULT» and/or
«ATTENTION» in zone, реакция response to the general FAULT state);
-Zone list involved in the activation condition of an output on AND/OR.
Sounders (outputs «SND1» and «SND2»)
-Modes of the outputs «SND1» and «SND2». The parameter determines the
output status in active and passive states;
-Active time of the outputs «SND1» and «SND2» (from 2 sec to «no limit»);
-Activation conditions of the outputs in the sounder mode (response to the
«FIRE», «FAULT» and/or «ATTENTION» in zone, реакция response to the

Users
-User’s access code change (authorized user and engineer).
The panel’s configuration or parameters of separate zones can be reset to factory
default settings in the programming mode. For the detailed description of the
programming mode please refer to Section 8.
5.2.4 Alarm loops (AL)
The following types of AL can be set on the panel:
«Active». The panel responses only to the current growth in AL. The current
growth in AL relative to the recorded baseline standby current on the established
threshold value (see Table 8.1) is interpreted as the detector trigger in the AL.
«Passive». The panel responses only to the current drop in AL. The current drop in
the AL relative to the recorded threshold value (see Table 8.1) is interpreted as the
detector trigger in the AL. Manual call points or 4-wire detectors can operate by the
passive detector scheme.
«Combined». The panel responses to the drop and growth of AL current on the
determined threshold values relative to the recorded standby current. Both active (2-
wire current consuming) and relay current reducing can be connected to this type AL
detectors.
«ARTON-DL». This AL type can be set when you connect (2-wire) the three-mode
beam smoke detector ARTON-DL series. The correct mutual functioning of the detector
and panel is ensured by that.
