INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
All cables must be installed in accordance with all applicable national, regional or local standards. In the UK this is BS 7671 IEE
Wiring Regulations and BS 5839-1, Fire detection and alarm systems for buildings: Code of practice for system design, installation
and maintenance. Fire resistant, screened cable should be used throughout the installation and ains wiring should be
segregated from extra low voltage field wiring.
For PER ANENTLY CONNECTED equipment, a readily accessible disconnect device shall
be incorporated external to the equipment.
The general requirement for the ains supply to the panel is fixed wiring, using 3 core
cable, (no less than 1mm2and no more than 2.5mm2), or a suitable three conductor
system fed from an isolating switched fused spur, fused at 3A. The ains supply must
be exclusive to the panel.
HINT. As an alternative to a switched
fused spur, a double pole isolating
device (B) may be used in the ains
feed from the ain Distribution
Board (A) to the panel (C), providing
it meets the appropriate wiring
regulations – see Fig 1.
• Remove the panel’s lid (disconnect attached loom connector).
• Fit the panel’s back box securely to a wall using the mounting holes provided and
suitable screw fixings. Remove required number of knockouts and fill holes with good
quality cable glands – see Fig 2.
• Gland field cables and terminate all screens to the panel.
CAUTION: DO NOT use an insulation tester (Megger) with any electronic devices
connected as the test voltage will totally destroy the devices.
• Test field cables and ensure they are fault-free, i.e. check continuity of cable runs
(including screens).
• Connect external ains cable to the panel’s fused ains terminal block (with ains
isolated) – see Fig 2.
CAUTION: ISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTE Y IS EPLACED BY AN INCO ECT TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTE IES ACCO DING TO THE INST UCTIONS.
Also, if the battery leads are connected in reverse, the battery fuse (F1) will blow
which may damage the panel and invalidate the warranty.
• Position and connect the panel’s two internal 12V sealed lead acid batteries (with
battery supply isolated) – see Fig 3 & Fig 4.
• Connect zone circuits to the panel – see Fig 5.
• Connect sounder circuits to the panel – see Fig 5.
• Connect ancillary connections to the panel.
• Refit the panel’s lid (re-connect loom connector).
• Apply ains and battery supply to power up the panel.
• The panel should be in normal mode. If not, investigate and rectify any faults
indicated on the panel.
• Finally, test the panel – see pages 2 & 3.

TESTING THE PANEL
When testing the panel with the panel lid open, always isolate the Mains and disconnect the batteries. The panel
can be tested before connecting field wiring. If testing before installation, ensure the end-of-line resistors are
fitted in the panel’s sounder and detector terminal blocks.
Position and connect two suitable 12V batteries in the panel as shown in Fig 3 and Fig 4 (page 1). When the
batteries are connected, the POWER SUPPLY FAULT indicator will light and the warning beeper will sound.
Connect the ains wiring and turn the ains supply on. The AINS ON indicator will light, the POWER SUPPLY
FAULT indicator will go out and the warning beeper will silence (providing the batteries are not flat).
WITH THE KEYSWITCH AT NO MAL POSITION
The AINS ON indicator is lit. No other indicators are lit. No sounders are active. The pushbuttons are inoperative.
TU N THE KEYSWITCH TO A M CONT OLS POSITION
Note: None of the panel’s pushbuttons are operative unless the keyswitch is in the AR CONTROLS position.
Press RESET/RESOUND/TEST ZONE LA PS. The ZONE FIRE and ZONE FAULT indicators light and the warning beeper
will sound. The AINS ON indicator will remain lit. All the other indicators will NOT light. Release the pushbutton
and the panel will return to normal.
TEST THE POWE SUPPLY MONITO ING CI CUIT
Switch off the ains. The POWER SUPPLY FAULT indicator will light, the AINS ON indicator will extinguish, and
the warning beeper will sound. Press SILENCE FAULT SOUNDERS and the warning beeper will silence but the
POWER SUPPLY FAULT indicator will remain lit. Reconnect the ains and the panel will revert to normal.
Disconnect the battery. The POWER SUPPLY FAULT indicator will light and the warning beeper will sound.
Reconnect the battery and after a short time the panel will revert to normal (i.e. only the AINS ON indicator
light on). Note: This test should be carried out with a set of new and fully charged batteries – deteriorated cells
will show a fault even when connected and charged up.
TEST THE SOUNDE MONITO ING CI CUITS
DO NOT carry out this test with the ZONE FIRE indicators lit as sounder fuses F2 & F3 could blow. Ensure the end-
of-line resistor is connected across each of the sounder circuits on terminals 5 & 6, 7 & 8. Short the sounder
terminals 5 & 6. The SOUNDER FAULT indicator will light and the warning beeper will sound.
Press SILENCE FAULT SOUNDERS and the warning beeper will silence but the SOUNDER FAULT indicator will stay
on. Remove the short and the panel will revert to normal. Open circuit the sounder terminals 5 & 6 by
disconnecting one leg of the end-of-line resistor. The SOUNDER FAULT indicator will light and the warning beeper
will sound. Press SILENCE FAULT SOUNDERS and the warning beeper will silence but the SOUNDER FAULT indicator
will stay on. Remake the circuit and the panel will revert to normal.
Repeat the test for the other sounder circuit via terminals 7 & 8.
TEST THE DETECTO MONITO ING CI CUITS
ake sure an end-of-line device (EOLD) is connected across each pair of detector terminals (9 & 10, 11 & 12, etc.).
The EOLD would either be a 6.8kΩ resistor or Electronic onitoring Unit (E U) and associated Panel odule,
depending on the installation. Refer to Fig 5 (page 1) & E U instructions for connections.
The following four conditions can exist on the detector monitoring circuits:
1. Normal Condition: Current flows round the detector loop via the EOLD to monitor the wiring.
2. Open Circuit Fault: The wiring is broken at some point and the monitoring current cannot flow through the EOLD.
3. Short Circuit Fault: A short circuit exists at some point and too much monitoring current flows.
4. Fire Condition: A partial short exists and the monitoring current increases but not enough to show a short circuit
fault. ost smoke detectors make a partial short when they are triggered but manual call points and other
normally open switches need to have 470 or 680Ωresistors connected in series in order to give a partial short.
(Check - Resistor may be built into the Call Point - see Fig 5, page 1.)
OPEN CI CUIT FAULT TEST
Open circuit the zone circuit terminals 9 & 10 by disconnecting one wire of the EOLD. The ZONE 1 FAULT indicator
and internal ZONE 1 OPEN CIRCUIT FAULT indicator will light. The warning beeper will also sound. Press SILENCE
FAULT SOUNDERS and the warning beeper will silence but the indicators will stay on. Reconnect the EOLD and the
panel will revert to normal.
SHO T CI CUIT FAULT TEST
Short circuit the zone circuit terminals 9 & 10. The ZONE 1 FAULT indicator and internal ZONE 1 SHORT CIRCUIT
FAULT indicator will light. The warning beeper will also sound. Press SILENCE FAULT SOUNDERS and the warning
beeper will silence but the indicators will stay on. Remove the short and the panel will revert to normal.
Repeat the test for the other zone circuit via terminals 11 & 12.

FI E CONDITION
Simulate a Fire condition by connecting and activating a Call Point, or by fitting a 470 to 680Ωresistor across
terminals 9 & 10. The sounder output relay will operate. The ZONE 1 FIRE indicator lights and warning beeper sounds.
Press SILENCE ALAR SOUNDERS. The sounder outputs return to normal but the ZONE 1 FIRE indicator will still be lit
and the warning beeper will still sound. Press RESET/RESOUND/TEST ZONE LA PS and the panel will go back into
alarm as the Fire condition is still present. Remove the Fire condition. Press SILENCE ALAR SOUNDERS, then
RESET/RESOUND/TEST ZONE LA PS, and the panel reverts to normal. Repeat the test for the other zone terminals.
Notes:
1) Pressing RESET/RESOUND/TEST ZONE LA PS when in the unsilenced Fire condition (i.e. Sounder Outputs
energised) has no effect. The sounders UST be Silenced first before Reset is active.
2) When the Alarm Sounders are silenced, the warning beeper will sound and cannot be silenced.
3) Resetting the system from the Silenced Fire state with the fire condition still existing will retrigger the alarm.
EVACUATE
Press EVACUATE. The Sounder Outputs will operate, the ZONE FIRE indicators will light and the warning beeper
will sound. Press SILENCE ALAR SOUNDERS and the Sounder Outputs will return to the normal state. The ZONE
FIRE indicators will still be lit and the warning beeper will still be active. Press RESET/RESOUND/TEST ZONE LA PS
to return the panel to normal state.
TESTING THE SYSTEM
Check each detector and sounder on the system, and check the functions of the panel. Check all circuits for open
and short circuit faults. If continuity diodes are fitted remove each head in turn and check that call points are still
operative. When testing is complete return the keyswitch to NOR AL position.
ANCILLARY FACILITIES (Links and internal features are shown in Fig 6 below)
ENGINEE S TEST (NON-LATCH TEST) FACILITY
This range of panels has a non-latching test facility
which allows manual call points and smoke detectors
to be tested and reset automatically. To set this facility
move the link marked ‘PL1’ on the main PCB from the
lower to the upper position and the adjacent
indicator will light, the warning beeper will sound
and cannot be silenced. When an alarm condition is
caused the alarm sounders will operate for about half
a second and will silence for three seconds before
resounding. This will continue until the cause of the
alarm is removed by the smoke clearing from a
detector or the call point being reset. When testing is
complete, replace the link to the lower position.
ZONE ISOLATION FACILITY
Each Detector Zone can be isolated individually by moving the links (PL2/PL4/PL5/PL6) from the lower to the upper
position. The adjacent indicator and relevant ZONE FAULT indicator will light to show that the zone is isolated. The
warning buzzer will sound and cannot be silenced. When testing is complete, replace the link to the lower position.
TO EVE T TO SHO T CI CUIT = FI E
This facility overrides the short circuit fault monitoring for each zone and allows the panel to be used on
installations which do not have Call Point Resistors fitted. It produces a short circuit Fire condition when activated.
To enable this facility cut the wire links (LK1/LK2/LK3/LK4) on the main PCB.
AUXILIA Y EXPANSION PLUG (PL10)
This plug connector offers facilities for driving Repeater Panels, Fire and Fault relays and a "Class Change" input.
These facilities require various ancillary devices to be added to the panel (not included).
AUX 24V +VE
This output is a regulated, unmonitored, output fused at 1A (F4), available from terminal 1 in the panel’s base
connections. With link ‘PL3’ on the main PCB linked in position furthest from the F4 fuse this output is continuous.
If linked nearest to the F4 fuse then the output is present when the panel is normal but is switched off when the
relay is activated. This facility can be used to provide a fail-safe output via AUX 24V, that "switches off" when the
sounders are activated, or if power to the panel fails.
Note: Any load provided by this output increases the quiescent drain on the panel’s supply which in turn affects
the stand-by time of the system. It is not intended to supply door release systems.
VOLTAGE F EE ELAY CONTACTS
These single pole relay outputs, available via terminals 2 (normally closed), 3 (common), and 4 (normally open) in
the panel’s base connections, change over when the sounders are activated. They must not be used to switch
ains potentials, the contacts being rated at 30Vdc and 1.0A.
