Atena Easy is an addressable fire panel with maximum coverage of 48 zones and up to 2 loops. The panel supports
communication protocol Comelit and operation with Comelit addressable device series.
Every Loop provides up to 250 devices (detectors and modules, regardless of the type).
An arbitrary number of devices can be added to each zone thus ensuring the easy adaptation of the system to any type
of configuration.
To avoid or significantly diminish problems when mounting the system it must be carefully planned prior to installation.
This includes: setting an address for every device and planning a name of maximum 40 digits (including the
spaces) for each address, thereby ensuring easy access to the device.
According to the acting standards for establishing fire systems and the plan of the building, the devices must
be grouped in zones.

2.3. Connection of Signaling Devices
The monitored outputs SND, at activation, provide 24VDC@0,5A to the load connected between
them and GND*.
The monitored outputs FAULT, EXT and FIRE, provide 24VDC@0,3A to the load connected
between them and GND*.
It is necessary to connect in parallel to the last device in the loop a 10k terminate resistor,
so to ensure that the panel is able to detect any break or short circuit in the loop –see Figures 10
and 11!
*The grounding point of the panel.
2.3.1 Connecting of Sounders
To every monitored output SND could be connected several sounders - Figure 10. The maximum number of sounders
that could be connected in the circuit depends on their total current consumption, which must not exceed 0,5A.
Before connecting the last sounder in the circuit, parallel to it must be added resistor 10k.
Figure 10 –Connecting sounders to SND output
2.3.2 Connecting of Signaling Devices
To every monitored output FAULT, EXT and FIRE could be connected signaling and other control devices –Figure 11.
The maximal consumption of the devices should not exceed 0.3А.
Before connecting the last device in the circuit, parallel to it must be added resistor 10k.

2.3.4 Loop Controller
The Atena Easy fire alarm panel supports operation with the loop controller via communication protocol.
The Loop Controller realizes the connection between the I/O Module and devices connected to the communication
line. The Loop Expander has two basic functions:
Gathers data from the devices in the communication line and transfers it to the main microcontroller;
Receives commands from the main microcontroller and transfers them to the devices connected in the
communication line.
Up to 250 Comelit devices can be connected to Atena Easy loop controller. The general connection diagram of
devices to the loop controller is shown on Figure 13.
The maximum current consumption of the devices in the communication line is Imax = 500mA. If the consumption
exceeds this value an over-load protection would be turned on.
Figure 13 –Connecting of detectors to a loop controller

Addressable fire alarm panel Atena Easy can be programmed directly through the navigation and functional digit
buttons on the front panel. The programming menus are organized in a text tree-structure and are viewed on the LCD-
display (4 rows x 40 symbols). The access to the programming menus is organized in three levels –see items 5.2.
When turned on, the panel always conducts a procedure of loading the parameters, which usually takes about 5-6 sec.
There is no access to the menus of the panel during that procedure.
Upon the initial startup, the panel does not hold any configurations. Initialization may take several minutes. The
initialization time needed depends on the number of periphery and loop devices –for Loop 1 and Loop 2. After the
panel has been turned on, it performs a procedure for detecting newly installed loop devices –see also APPENDIX C,
page 48.
During the procedure the symbol “ ” is blinking in the up right corner of the screen. This symbol will appear always
when running similar procedures like resetting of devices or recognized new devices connected to the loop.
Right after the initial startup of the mains power supply and initialization completed the panel turns to normal operation
mode. If there are any active alarm and fault messages they are displayed on the screen, as the indication follows the
priority:
Indication - Groups
Priority
ALARMS
