4Analogue Fire Control Panel FireClass100

OVERVIEW
This manual holds all the necessary information for proper use of the Fire-
Class100 system.
The components of the FireClass100 modular system depend on the size
and complexity of the installation. Some of the components and functions
mentioned in this manual may not be present on your system.
FireClass100 system comprises:
Øa FireClass100 Control panel;
Øup to 8 FC200/REP Repeaters.
FireClass100 The FireClass100 control panel manages all the functions of the of the fire
prevention system.
Repeaters Repeaters are small panels for remote control of the main features of the
FireClass100 system (SILENCE, RESET and ACKnowledge). Repeaters
display all the FireClass100 messages, and emit the buzzer signals.
OVERVIEW 5

Signalling
The control panel status is signalled by:
Øthe LEDs on the front of the panel;
Øthe back-lit display of 20 characters on 4 rows;
Øthe built-in buzzer.
LEDs
ALARM ON: - indicates ALARM status. In the event of False Alarm - press the SI-
LENCE button to inhibit momentarily the SILENCEABLE Outputs, or the
RESET button to deactivate all the outputs definitely.
MORE ALARMS ON: - indicates ALARM status on more than one of the Input Points. It is
possible to view all the Points in ALARM status.
PREALARM Blinking: - indicates PREALARM status. When the programmed PREALARM
Delay ends, the control panel will go into ALARM status. In the event of false
alarm - press the RESET key to stop the automatic procedure.
TELECOM ON: -the control panel is physically connected to the telephone line.
MAIN POWER
(green)
OFF: - indicates Mains power failure (230 V). Check for area blackout. Pro-
per functioning of the control panel will be guaranteed by the batteries until
Mains power is restored. If the area power supply is present call the instal-
ler for service!
WALK TEST Blinking: - indicates that at least one Software Zone is in Test status. The
outputs of the Zone in Test status will be activated for approximately one
second when the Zone goes into ALARM status. However, the Extinction
Outputs of the Zone in Test status will not be activated when the Zone
goes into ALARM status.
DISABLED ON: - indicates that at least one device is disabled. Use the Disable option
from the MODIFYING menu to view and change the status of disabled de-
vices.
NIGHT ON: - indicates NIGHT Mode functioning. The Alarm Threshold of the Input
Points will be the programmed value. If the SILENCE button is pressed du-
ring NIGHT mode - the SILENCE status will be held for the programmed
SILENCE time.
DAY ON: - indicates DAY Mode functioning. The programmed Alarm Threshold
of the Input Points will be increased by a set value, that is, the Input Point
will be less prone to false alarms caused by persons present in the protec-
ted ambient. If the SILENCE button is pressed during DAY Mode - the SI-
LENCE status will be held until the SILENCE button is pressed again.
FAULT ON: - signals at least one FAULT. The LEDs and/or the display will indica-
te the FAULT type.
6Analogue Fire Control Panel FireClass100

MAIN (red) As per the green MAIN POWER LED. This LED will go ON during Mains
power failure (the MAIN LED has memory).
LOW BATTERY ON:-indicates that the control panel batteries are low, and therefore, in the
event of blackout, will not be able to guarantee proper functioning of the con-
trol panel. Wait for several hours - if the LED remains ON call the installer for
service.
BATTERY FAULT ON: - indicates that the batteries are either disconnected or empty, or that the
Battery protection fuse has burnt (see FUSES LED). Therefore, in the event of
blackout the control panel will stop functioning.
GROUND ON: - indicates that the control panel is leaking to Ground. Call the Installer
for immediate service!
FUSES ON: - indicates that either the polarity invertion fuse, or the 24 V Output
fuse has burnt, in the latter case, the devices connected to the 24 V Output
will be unable to function (the display will indicate the fuse in question).
Call the Installer for immediate service!
LOGIC UNIT ON: - indicates that the control panel blocked. Call the installer for service!
ADDRESS ON: - indicates a missing Loop device. Call the installer for service!
SAME ADDRESS ON: - indicates the presence of more than one device of the same type at
the same address. Call the installer for service!
SILENCE ON: - indicates the the Silenceable Output Points have been forced into
standby status. Press the SILENCE button to restore the previous status.
Silenced Output Points will be released automatically if another alarm con-
dition occurs or, after the programmed NIGHT Mode SILENCE Time.
Z01 ÷Z16 ON:-indicates that the corresponding zone is in ALARM status. In the event
of false alarm - press the SILENCE button to force the SILENCEABLE Out-
puts momentarily into standby status, or press the RESET button to deactivate
all the outputs definitively.
Blinking: - (3 sec. ON - 1 sec. OFF) indicates that the corresponding zone
is in PREALARM status. The zone will go into ALARM status after the pro-
grammed Prealarm Time, or will activate the FIXED delay (if programmed).
In the event of false alarm - press the RESET button to stop the automatic
procedure.
Blinking: - (1 sec. ON - 0,5 sec. OFF) indicates - the FIXED delay is running.
The Zone will go into ALARM status when the programmed delay ends. In the
event of false alarm press the RESET button to stop the automatic procedure,
or press ACK button to add the PAS delay to the FIXED delay.
Blinking: - (1 sec. ON - 2 sec. OFF) indicates - the PAS delay has been ad-
ded to the FIXED delay already running. The Zone will go into ALARM status
when the total time of both delay ends. In the event of false alarm press the
RESET button to stop the automatic procedure.
+Press the TEST key to check the LEDs are functioning properly.

MORE ALARMS The MORE ALARMS LED will go ON to signal the presence of several
alarm conditions.
Software Zones
Input Points and Output Points can be associated to the 16 Sotftware Zo-
nes of the FireClass100. ALARM status on an Input Point will generate the
same status on its Software Zones.
Positive Alarm Sequence (PAS)
A Software Zone (enabled for the Fixed Delay) will go into ALARM status
when the Fixed Delay ends.
Press ACK to extend a running Fixed Delay - the PAS Delay (when ena-
bled) will be added automatically to the Fixed Delay.
The Software Zone will go into ALARM status when the delay time ends.
ØFixed Delay will be signalled by blinking on the Zone LED (1 sec. ON - 0.5
sec. OFF), and by an intermittent sound on the buzzer (1 sec. sound - 0.5
sec. pause);
ØPAS Delay will be signalled by blinking on the Zone LED (2 sec. ON - 2
sec. OFF), and by an intermittent sound from the buzzer (2 sec. sound - 2
sec. pause)
+A Output Point can also be associated to Input Points; in this case the Out-
put Point will be activated when at least one of its Input Points goes into
ALARM status.
USER GUIDE 15

Silence
The SILENCE button can be used to force the Silenceable Output Points
into the Standby status:
ØIn NIGHT Mode - Silence status will be held for the programmed Silence Time;
ØIn DAY Mode - Silence status will be held until the SILENCE button is pres-
sed again.
+In both functioning modes - Silence status will be overridden automatically
when a new alarm condition occurs.
Reset
RESET is one of the main commands on the control panel.
RESET stops ALARM, Prealarm, Warning and FAULT conditions. Access
to this command is limited to authorized key holders only (access level 2:
code or mechanical key).
During RESET the fire control panel will display the following messages.
If an ALARM, Prealarm, Warning or FAULT signal is still present after RE-
SET it will be reprocessed.
Command buttons (including ESC) cannot be used when RESET is running.
The Repeaters can be RESET by the Installer or User PIN.
Test
The TEST button activates all the control panel LEDs, buzzers and con-
nected Repeater buzzers.
The FC200/COM Telecom Module ---- that when properly programmed will
call the programmed telephone numbers.
Day/Night Mode
The control panel can operate in two modes: DAY Mode and NIGHT Mode.
ØIf SILENCE is activated during DAY Mode its effect will be unlimited (un-
less other events occur: new ALARMS, new FAULTS etc.).
RESET
RUNNING
Please Wait ...
16 Analogue Fire Control Panel FireClass100

ØIf SILENCE is activated during NIGHT Mode it will be held for the program-
med time (see "Silence" paragraph).
Auto Another of the FireClass100 features is the Automatic Alarm Threshold variation.
Sensors are particularly sensitive, therefore, when persons are present in
the protected ambient the Alarm Threshold must be increased by the non-
modifiable default value (to allow for cigarette smoke etc.). The Alarm
Threshold of the Analogue Sensors can be controlled automatically.
DAY Mode If the Analogue Sensors are programmed with the T and/or Soption - the
Alarm Threshold of the Analogue Sensors will be increased by 10% during
the programmed times.
NIGHT Mode The non-modifiable default value will be restored.
Drift Compensation
When Drift Compensation is programmed for an Analogue Sensor (valid for
Analogue smoke ionisation sensors only) it will supply a precise analysis, and
therefore, indicate whether the Sensor is at risk of generating false alarms.
Drift Compensation is automatic. In the event of Drift Compensation
FAULT, the User need only identify the FAULT type and the Sensor gene-
rating the FAULT.
There are two types of Drift Compensation FAULT: automatic which corre-
sponds to the non-modifiable threshold, and the Threshold programmed by
the Installer (modifiable).
The threshold programmed by the Installer offers a faster way of detecting
the high dust level of an ambient.
Maintenance request
The FireClass100 control panel can be programmed to request maintenan-
ce. The Maintenance request will be signalled on the programmed date by
FAULT status.
To change the Maintenance request date:
Øuse the Installer PIN to access the PROGRAMMING phase, and postpone
the request.
+The FC200/COM Telecom Module ---- when installed and properly pro-
grammed will call the programmed telephone numbers.
USER GUIDE 17

Disable
The Disable option from the MODIFYING menu can be used to Disa-
ble/Enable Devices, Zones and Bell Outputs. This option is dealt with in
detail in the "MODIFYING" chapter.
The DISABLED LED will go ON when a Device is Disabled. ALARMS and
FAULTS etc. will not be signalled for Disabled Devices.
Alarm verify
The FireClass100 control panel can check the veracity of an ALARM sta-
tus from the moment it occurs.
When Alarm Verify is programmed for a Device the control panel will ge-
nerate an ALARM status in accordance with the Verify Time and the Veri-
fy Counter.
The control panel will hold Standby status for the entire time of the Alarm
Verify operation (Scanning Loops).
The number of Alarm Verify operations performed for an Input Point can be
viewed by means of the Dev./Zones/Outputs option from the READINGS
PARAMETER menu (see V).
Logger
The FireClass100 logger records the data of the last 200 events.
The logger is dealt with in detail in the "READING PARAMETERS" para-
graph.
Extinction Modes
To satisfy the strict Safety regulations for water and gas extinction me-
thods, each FireClass100 Output may be programmed as an "EXTIN-
CTION OUTPUT".
+When an ALARM status is generated by a Device associated to an Extin-
ction Output, the Extinction Output in question will not be activated until the
programmed delay ends.
Inhibit Extinction Press any Inhibit Extinction button to add a further delay to the program-
med delay running on the Extinction Outputs. The effect the Inhibit Extin-
ction command will have on the the running delay depends on the pro-
grammed mode:
ØADD mode - the Extinction Inhibition adds 90 seconds to the programmed
Delay;
18 Analogue Fire Control Panel FireClass100

ØSTOP mode - the Extinction Inhibition will stop the Delay 10 seconds befo-
re the end. When the Extinction Inhibition is disabled the Delay will restart
and run for 10 seconds;
ØFULL mode - the Extinction Inhibition will restore the Delay to its initial va-
lue. When inhibition is disabled the Delay will restart and run for the full De-
lay time.
Silence Press the SILENCE button to:
Øblock the running Extinction Output delay.
Øforce activated Extinction Outputs into Standby status.
Øreactivate Extinction Outputs - forced into Standby status by the SI-
LENCE button. These Outputs will be reactivated after the programmed
delay.
+In NIGHT Mode - the Silence status (block delay and force standby) will be
held for the programmed Silence Time;
ØIn DAY Mode - the Silence status (block delay and force standby) will be
held until the SILENCE button is pressed again.
ØIn both modes - Silence status will be overridden automatically if a new
ALARM or FAULT condition occurs.
Manual
Extinction Press any Manual Extinction button to activate all Extinction Outputs wi- thout delay.
