41CPE118 is an analogue fire alarm panel that can cover up to 500 zones; it is supplied by default with 1 Loop but this can be
expanded up to 4 using additional boards (Art. 41ECL120) connected directly in the panel itself. Its maximum expansion of 8
Loops in total can be achieved using the external 4-Loop box Art. 41CPE104 (1 Loop board by default).
The panel uses Comelit communication protocol which allows it to communicate with all new and old series of Comelit
analogue devices.
System installation must be planned carefully before the panel and devices are fitted, to avoid or considerably reduce problems
during this stage. This includes: assigning an address to every device and planning a name of up to 40 characters (including
spaces) for each address, thereby ensuring easy traceability of the device.
The devices must be grouped by Zone in compliance with current regulations for the construction of fire protection systems,
and with the safety plan for the building.
1. INTRODUCTION
Each 41ECL120 loop (Comelit communication protocol) offers the opportunity of connecting 250 devices
(modules and/or sensors, regardless of type).
FRONT VIEW OF PANEL 41CPE118
1.1 GENERAL FEATURES
The front panel has a colour touchscreen display (dimensions 155x86 mm) and LED indications for viewing events and zone
statuses.
Access to panel functions takes place via password for three individual access levels, while access to the internal components
of the panel is protected by a special mechanical key. The panel box is almost 150 mm deep, guaranteeing easy access and
laying of cables during installation, as well as quicker and easier wiring procedures.
Between one and four expansion boards 41ECL120 can be added to the output module.
The system can be expanded by connecting the panels in an Ethernet or RS485 network, where communication between them
takes place via TCP/IP PROTOCOL, up to a maximum of 64 control panels / repeater panels linked.
The panel has a built-in real-time clock and a calendar, allowing operation in day and night mode. Switching between the
two modes can take place automatically or manually. Events such as: FIRE, RESET, FAULT, etc., are saved in the memory, by
creating an Event Log file, which records the time, date, device address, device type (module or sensor), device name, zone,
zone name, etc. Events which can be easily viewed via the panel or printed directly on the thermal printer in real time (Art.
41PRN100) or by exporting the Log file via programming software.

The SND monitored output (sounders) is dedicated to the connection of conventional sounders. The maximum number of
sounders connected to the output must not exceed a current of 1A.
Note: The SND output is enabled if there is a “Loop sirens active” event.
Note: If the sounders are set to “Flash only” it is not considered a Loop sirens active event. The SND output is not
enabled.
N.B.: Press the “Silence Sounder” button to disable the SND output.
Connection example for an indication device, connected to the SND output.
3.6 Loop Controller
Panel 41CPE118 communicates with Loop Controllers (41ECL120) using Comelit communication protocol.
Connection of Loop boards takes place via a “comb” terminal, where the first board (supplied by default inside the panel) is
connected to the output module.
The Loop expansion has 2 main functions:
1. It collects data from the devices connected to the communication line and transmits this data to the output module.
2. It receives commands from the output module and transmits them to the devices connected to the communication line.
Up to 250 devices can be connected to each Loop controller 41ECL120.
The maximum absorption of the devices on each Loop board should not exceed Imax = 700 mA.
If consumption exceeds this value, an overload protection will be triggered.

3.9 CONNECTING AND PROGRAMMING RS485 MODULE - 41ECB000 (optional)
The addressed fire alarm panel 41CPE118 is designed for connection in a redundant serial communication network of several
41CPE118 panels, 2-Loop panels Art. 41CPE112 and repeater panels 41CPR100, up to a maximum of 64 panels in the
network, guaranteeing a backup connection line in case of an individual fault with the physical support. The redundant network
is based on the RS485 communication interface, where the maximum distance between two 41ECB000 boards (or repeater
panel) should not exceed 1000 m.
CAUTION: The network module should only be added to the panel configuration and connected to the voice
interface board WHEN THE MAIN AND BACKUP POWER SUPPLY IS SHUT OFF!
To program the 41ECB000 module, access the 41CPE118 panel menu, logging in as a level 3 user, and carry out the following
steps:
SYSTEM – PROGRAMMING – PANEL – NETWORK – NETWORK SETTINGS
In the Network Settings menu, set:
NETWORK STATUS = ENABLED
NETWORK TYPE = RS485
PANEL NUMBER = X(set a dierent number for every piece of equipment in the network)
Save the changes.
To enable board redundancy, still via the NETWORK SETTINGS menu, press MORE and set REDUNDANCY = ON, then save
the changes.
N.B.: remember to assign a different number to each panel/repeater panel, so that you do not create duplicate panel
addresses.
To store and add all panels linked to the RS485 network to the programming, carry out the following steps:
SYSTEM – PROGRAMMING – PANEL – NETWORK – PANELS
In this menu, use the arrows to scroll through the panels in the system; you will only be able to see the IP code and status
(present, fault...) of the panel on which you are working. On the other panels in the network the ADD button will be active;
when you press it the second panel will be added to the network configuration.
At this point, select what the second panel should send or receive from the other connected panels:
RECEIVE MESSAGES: when this is enabled, the panel will receive all incoming messages from other linked panels (technical,
fault, alarm messages...)
RECEIVE COMMANDS: when this is enabled, the panel will receive all incoming commands from other linked panels
(evacuate, activate sounders, silence buzzer/alarm command)
SEND COMMAND: when this is enabled, the panel will be able to send commands to other linked panels (if these are enabled
to receive commands from other connected panels)
In the same PANELS menu section, press MORE to enable or disable some repeater functions:
REPEAT SOUNDER: when this is enabled, sounder and SND output activation on the panel is repeated for the other panels
REPEAT FIRE BRIGADE: when this is enabled, monitored Fire Brigade output activation is repeated for the other panels (FIRE
R alarm transmission)
REPEAT FAULT OUTPUT: when this is enabled, Fault indications are repeated for the other panels
REPEAT FIRE PROTECTION: when this is enabled, activation of the monitored output dedicated to extinguishing is repeated
for the other panels (FIRE P)
Connect the module in the panel to the dedicated terminal.
