Application Guide
Fire
The large capacity, ability to support complex cause and
effect programming and wide range of user-controllable
functions make these panels suitable for a wide range of
projects from sheltered housing to large office
developments as well as many industrial applications.
This range of panels provide a large (120mm x 90mm) touch
screen display as the main user element, eliminating the need
for dedicated system push buttons. The user interface is
menu-driven, automatically reconfiguring to suit the chosen
menu option. To enable text updates directly at the panel, the
display converts to a full QWERTY keyboard, enabling
comprehensive text insertion.
The panels also have 96 zone fire LEDs providing additional
information about the extent of any fire activation as well as a
comprehensive set of system status LEDs providing
additional visual information for the end user.
The panels use ‘spur tolerant’ soft addressing to minimise
installation time and remove the potential for error normally
associated with manual addressing.

Zones
Assigning devices to the relevant zones can be done either at the panel direct or by using site installer. The contractor
should always provide the zone information, as this is part of the system design process and takes into account the fire
compartment boundaries, which you may not be aware of.
The panel has 96 zonal LED’s, if ringing patterns are required across a network then all zones must exist on all panels
within the network.
Example:
Panel 1 has zones 1 –10 in use, Panel 2 zones 11 – 20 in use, Panel 3 zones 21 – 30 in use.
In this case ALL panels would have zones 1 – 30 programmed onto Loop 1.
Panel 1 would have devices in zones 1 – 10 but none in zones 11 – 30.
Panel 2 would have devices in zones 11 – 20 but none in zones 1 – 10 & 21 – 30.
Panel 3 would have devices in zones 21 – 30 but none in zones 1 – 20
Access Codes
There are 4 access codes for the CF3000 / DF6000 / FX6000.
• User Code:
This allows control of the silence, evacuate and reset functions and also enable/disable; replace device and check
auto config functions. This code can be changed to a site-specific code.
• Engineer Code:
This gives access to the engineer parts of the menu, which are used, for learning and programming the system.
• High Level Codes:
These 2 codes give access to menu’s which:
1. Can be used to return the system to its factory settings, and to change the logo’s on the display.
2. Disable ALL Outputs.
3. View all access codes and reset to default codes.
Disable/Enable Devices
This menu allows the customer to disable and enable selected detectors, zones or I/O’s. Detectors and zones are self-
explanatory, simply touch the Enabled/Disabled box against each zone or device. The disable I/O menu however,
allows the user to disable FRE, FPE, AUX relay, Fault output and panel Sounders 1 & 2.
When the panel is in Auto learn individual sounders CANNOT be disabled, the only method of disabling sounders is by
using the ‘Disable all outputs’ function, or, download text into the panel, which will then allow the sounders to be
disabled by zone or individually.
If a device is already ‘in fire’ the system will not allow the user to disable it. The zone that the device belongs in must be
disabled; this function is still available if the panel is in fire.
If a complete zone is disabled, individual devices within that zone cannot be selected for re-enabling.
If the panel is part of a network then devices can be disabled across the network by using the ‘Network disable/enable
function’.
CF3000 / DF6000 / FX6000 Application Guide

Replace Device
The replace device function is used to change faulty equipment without the need to change text or zone allocation.
The faulty component is changed and then the replace device function selected, the loop and address of the faulty
device are inputted and the panel then scans the loop for address 254, when it receives a reply the previously inputted
address information is programmed on to the new device.
This function cannot be used if a different type of device is replacing the component. ‘Add/Delete’ device function
must then be used.
Check Auto Config
This function has two purposes, the first is to check that when a database has been downloaded the transmitted data
matches the device data on the loop and then it highlights any anomalies as device unknown or device type
mismatches.
The second is to pinpoint any o/c or s/c faults on the loop. The panel achieves this by electronically disconnecting the
return legs and interrogates the devices on the loop. If there is a break the panel will go to fault stating the first device it
cannot see beyond the break. This same function also pinpoints short circuits in the same way, creating a fault beyond
the point where an isolator has opened.
Delays
A sounder delay is set up using site installer and is must be programmed on stage 1 of ‘Device Outputs’. The
maximum time is ten minutes and it can only be programmed in whole minutes.
When programming a delay on the panel sounder circuits the zones selected in the allocate devices box trigger the
delay. Whereas on the loop powered sounders and the sounder controller unit the zones not selected will trigger the
delay and the zones selected will operate the sounders immediately.
The above has been changed in V1.81.01 Display/V1.83.3 Loop so that the devices selected in the list will trigger the
delay and the devices not selected will have no effect.
The delay trigger can be by address, zone, panel or globally.
When selecting the trigger to be by address all the addresses have to be on the same loop and the limit is sixteen.
When selecting the trigger to be by zone then the limit is sixteen zones, which must be on the same panel.
When triggering a delay on the panel sounders by zone the limit is reduced to 8 zones. If no zones are selected then
the delay will be global.
When a delay has been set up the sounder fault and general disable led’s will be illuminated permanently.
A delay can be set up on the Sounder control unit in the same way as a loop powered sounder, however, only stage 1
of sounder circuit 1 will accept the delay. The other 3 sounder circuits WILL NOT accept a delay.

Double Knock
Double knock operation is programmed on site installer and is used to prevent unnecessary evacuation of the site. 2
fires are needed from the selected list before the output condition is satisfied and the output can operate
The operation can be done by address, zone, panel or global.
When selecting the trigger to be by address all the addresses have to be on the same loop and the limit is sixteen.
When selecting the trigger to be by zone then the limit is sixteen zones, which must be on the same panel. Selecting
by zone means that two different zones will have to be in fire before the output condition is satisfied.
When selecting the trigger to be global then any two fires on that panel will satisfy the output condition.
If double knock is required to operate across the network then selecting by panel will allow any two fires on the
selected panels to satisfy the output condition.
NOTE: If Double knock is set by zone – any 2 devices within the same zone will NOT satisfy the condition.
Coincidence (Dependency type C)
Coincidence is different from double knock in that two fires from the allocate device list are required to satisfy the
output condition but one fire from outside the list will also satisfy the output condition.
This function is similar to double knock in the way that it is set up i.e. by address, by zone and has the same
restrictions on the number of trigger devices.
NOTE: If Coincidence is set by zone – any 2 devices within the same zone will NOT satisfy the condition.
Weekly Test
This function allows the user to perform a weekly test single-handed.
Once this function has been selected the panel starts a four-minute timer, when a call point is activated within these
four minutes the panel will operate the sounders and then silence and reset the system.
Once this has been done the weekly test mode will be cancelled. If no call point is activated within the four minutes the
weekly test mode will be cancelled.
During this test mode the interface outputs will not operate neither will the FRE and FPE outputs
FRE: Fire Routing Equipment typically used to operate a remote centre communicator.
FPE: Fire protecting Equipment typically used to control fire doors.
NOTE: If ‘disable all outputs’ is selected, weekly test or walk test will still make the sounders operate
Sounder Level Test
This option allows for Db readings to be taken without causing too much disruption to the site occupants.
Selection of the sounder level test mode turn the sounders on for 15 seconds enabling a reading to be taken and then
turn them off for 30 seconds allowing the engineer to move on to the next area.

One Man Walk Test
This function is similar to the weekly test feature, this allows the engineer to test the complete system without having to
continually return to the panel and reset it. Once all devices have been tested the ‘Stop’ button can then be operated.
Test Device
This is not a true test of the device. Individual devices can be identified using this menu. When a device is put into test
the fire Led will illuminate or if the device is a sounder then this will sound.
Following an Autolearn test device can be used to indicate cable routes and in what sequence the panel has
numbered the devices etc. On v3.0 software Next/Previous has been added to enable the user to navigate this
function more easily also the relay of an I/O device will change state.
Disable All Outputs
This function is held within one of the high-level access menus, available from display software version 1.81.01. It is
designed to enable the engineer to carry out a test on the system without activating any sounders or input /output
units.
The function does NOT work when weekly test or walk test is used as well. (The sounders still operate for a
short period).
When all devices are disabled the ‘Sounder Fault / General Disable / Delayed Output’ Led’s will be illuminated with
buzzer on. To exit this function, go to user menu (2214) and ‘Enable All’. To ensure that all devices have been re-
enabled a live test should be carried out.
Auto Learn
This is the process of addressing the devices on the loop. It should be carried out with only the start of the loop
connected to ensure that the loop is addressed in the correct sequence. Once the loop has been addressed then the
return leg can be connected into the panel.
On version software (v 3.0 introduced August 07), Autolearn by loop has been introduced. This allows a second loop
to be learned without having to relearn Loop 1. If a second loop controller is installed then the option to learn loops 3 &
4 individually is displayed.
When the loops are complete then the test menu can be used to verify the status and location of each device against
the ‘as fitted drawings.’
On later releases Pre-Addressed Autolearn has been added. This allows the engineer to Pre-Address the loop devices
in any sequence using a hand held programmer.
Once the system is installed, pre-addressed autolearn only interrogates the devices without renumbering and saves
the device list in memory. If however Autolearn is initiated the devices will be re-numbered and placed into sequence.
This method is particular to a DF 4000 to DF 6000 replacement where MAB 728 adaptor plates are used on the
existing MAB 700 bases. (The adaptor plate does NOT support Autolearn).

Analogue Level
The analogue level reading is used to display the analogue value being sensed by the detector, this value is displayed
in a numeric format and also in a graphical form. This reading is displayed in real time.
On v3.0 software Next/Previous buttons have been added to enable the user to scroll through the addresses more
easily. The min/max values are erased on exiting the menu and resetting the panel.
Printer Settings
When the printer is fitted then there are two options for its operation: Auto and On Request.
When changing between the two, the panel needs to have a hard reset or power down/power up to see the change in
the settings.
If the printer is replaced then a hard reset or power down should also be carried out to recognise the printer.
Programming I/O and Sounders & Sub-Menus
There is a number of sub – menus within this screen.
1. Panel Outputs
The only sounder programming which can be changed on the panel is the sounder tone and the volume, if these
settings are changed then the changes are applied to all the sounders on the system whereas if the settings are
done on the site installer software then it is possible to individually configure the sounder tone and volume for each
sounder.
These controls only apply to loop powered sounders.
There are 3 volume settings: Low, Medium, High;
and 4 tones: Pulsing, Continuous, Two Tone, Slow Whoop
The panel sounder circuits are limited in the way they can be programmed, the three stages available to the loop
sounders are not available for the panel sounders. They should really only be used when the system is a one out all
out configuration, if anything more complex is required then loop sounders are the best option. If conventional
sounders are required they need to be controlled by a sounder control unit.
The zone monitor unit is not included in the quantity of interface units allowed per loop.
The shop unit interface is not included in the quantity of interface units allowed per loop and always requires a
power supply unit. If no power supply is connected then the shop unit interface will show a fault, as it is unable to
monitor the sounder circuits.

2. T1 & T2
Also contained within the above menu are T1 & T2, this feature to enables the user to acknowledge an alarm and
investigate the cause before the building is evacuated. (see figure 3)
T1 time delay is between 10secs and 3 min.
T2 time delay is between 1 – 10 mins.
If T1 is set to a delay this will delay the operation of ALL outputs or FRE only (selected in this menu) until T1 time
expires.
The sounder programming will then revert to the site installer program minus any programmed delays. When T2 is
set and silence alarms are operated before T1 expires, the delay set on T2 will start. When this time expires the
outputs will revert back to the site installer program plus any programmed delays. Both must be set if
either is requried.
Both of these delays can be overridden by the operation of a Callpoint or the input of an I/O. (this is also selectable
within the T1/T2 menu)
if Day/Night mode is selected, the first fire during night mode overrides T1 such that the outputs will revert to site
installer program minus any programmed delays.
When the delays are running during an alarm condition, a countdown timer is displayed on the screen to
indicate time remaining before operation of the outputs.
T1/T2 can also be switched on and off/on using the input side of an I/O or Callpoint programmed to disable devics
within the Site Installer input programming. (see page 13).
If T1/T2 is required on a site where these delays need to be active during certain times and turned off at all other
times, generally a member of staff would need to operate the callpoint or I/O. However, within the T1/T2 menu is a
feature called ‘Auto enable delays’. This feature enables the user to automatically set T1/T2 at the required times as
a backup if the input is missed. (see figure 4)

3. Alarm Verification Feature
When this is set any detector that enters a fire condition will show on the panel but no sounder program will be
activated, a 30 sec timer will start. At the end of the 30 sec, if the detector is still at alarm level the sounders will
activate. If during this time the detector has dropped below the alarm level then the panel will not go to alarm. This is
particularly useful to prevent false alarms from detectors where the smoke is from other sources other than a fire i.e.
smoking in bedrooms.
On later version software the AVF length can be timed from standard or long delay (45 secs) and when in UL 864
9th edition mode a shorter time (15 secs) has also been added. (see page 19) A further option includes the addition
of AVF on specific zones.
4. Auxiliary Board
Extra boards or additional features for other markets can be installed within the CF3000 / DF6000 / FX6000. These
include Extinguisher and Fire brigade boards to enable the control of other services within buildings in Germany.
Australian Mode creates a re-configured display screen when class change is shorted. In this mode a key-switch
device is installed on the front door of the CF3000 / DF6000 / FX6000 panel which can only be operated by the
Australian fire brigade (this key-switch shorts the class change). Address or zone text for the alarm can be viewed on
the screen depending on how the screen is configured. (See page 19)
The re-configured screen gives the Fireman controls to; silence the alarms, mute buzzer and reset the panel without
having access to the pass-code. Swedish mode is very similar except that the panel must be in Swedish language for
this feature to be operational.
5. HMO Mode
This feature has been added to accommodate BS 5839 Part 6 – Fire Alarm Installations in Dwellings. BS 5839 part
1 does not cover private dwellings, however, a landlord is required under this to protect all common areas within his
building, and generally this would be designed as L3 coverage with a detector and sounder in the lobby area of the
flat. Mains smoke detection would then be installed within the living accommodation to provide protection, but
preventing a false alarm in a flat evacuating the whole building.
There are 3 settings within the HMO menu:
•Class Change:
this is the controller of HMO mode, when class change is set to ‘global alarm’ the mode is on. In this instance, if
there are any pulsing sounders adjacent to the zone in fire, then operation of class change will change them to
continuous. Setting class change back to ‘normal operation’ on the screen HMO will be turned off.
• HMO Zones:
This button allows the operator to select the zones required to be in HMO mode.
• Reset Timeout:
Detectors within the HMO zone can be set on a delay from 1 to 5 minutes. Essentially this is an extended version of
Alarm Verification (section 3 above), if smoke or heat puts a detector in fire, the panel and detector will indicate this,
but will not activate any outputs unless specifically programmed to do so. If the smoke or heat clears within the
timeout period then the panel will reset. If smoke or heat remains until the timeout period has elapsed, then the
programmed cause and effect will commence.
NOTE: Only Photoelectric Detectors and Heat detectors can be used with this mode Opto/Thermals will not
operate.
CF3000 / DF6000 / FX6000 Application Guide

APPLICATION GUIDE
12
6. Sounder Tone
Recent product introductions include an Australian Bell Tone electronic sounder for school applications. These
operate as normal electronic sounders during an alarm situation but go to bell tone when class change is operated.
This feature is at odds with the HMO settings above so the panel must be informed if these sounders are installed.
Once installed within this menu HMO cannot be set.
7. Double Knock Override
If double knock is required in the panel programming, certain devices can be chosen to automatically override this
setting if triggered.
Options within this menu includes, Optical, Opto/thermal, Heat detector, Callpoint and I/O unit
Change Text
Zone/device text can be modified directly at the panel, once the change text option has been selected and either
address, zone or panel text has been selected a list of the available zones/devices is displayed on the panel. A qwerty
keyboard is the displayed on the screen and with the existing text above, typing on the keyboard then changes the
text.
The address text is limited to 24 characters and the zone text should be no more than 32 characters, if the zone text
exceeds this then it may over run the display and lose some of the address text
CF3000 / DF6000 / FX6000 Application Guide

APPLICATION GUIDE

Input Programming
Input devices are Detectors, Callpoints and the input side of an I/O unit. These can be programmed on the Site
Installer to carry out different functions. The Device Inputs box is opened by ‘right clicking’ on the individual device and
when the device options box opens then choose ‘Device Inputs’
This now shows the device input box and subsequently how the panel is set to respond to each input option. (The
default is Fire).
Selections can be made to make the panel reset, silence, evacuate, pre-alarm, fault or fire. Other options include the
disabling of a pre assigned group of addresses or zones (up to 8 of either - see note), or initiating the Day/Night or
Non-Latch functions.
The input programming can also be used to turn on and off the feature T1/T2. When disable addresses is used on the
input and the isolate list is selected, all of the devices on the loop are displayed together with a ‘Delay’ showing as the
last device. This ‘Delay’ is T1/T2 which is disabled when the Callpoint or I/O is operated and reinstated when the input
is removed.
Non-latch is a feature where the panel goes back to quiescent state when the Fire situation clears, this is particularly
useful when interlinking with other panels.
NOTE: The addresses must be on the same loop as the input device, whereas the disabling of zones can be
achieved across the loop controller.
Figure 5
CF3000 / DF6000 / FX6000 Application Guide

APPLICATION GUIDE

Output Programming
Outputs are classed as Sounders/Beacons, I/O units, Sounder Control units and Shop Unit Monitors. The panel is
capable of accepting 120 outputs per loop, (60 Sounders set low) and 20 I/O units (each I/O automatically takes three
channels). Sounder Control and Shop units use sounder channels.
To set the device outputs right click the device, when the device options box appears choose ‘Device Outputs’.
The output device can now be programmed to respond to a specific trigger – globally, by zone by address or by panel.
Each output can have three stages programmed – whatever is set in each stage that matches the input trigger the
output will follow (there is no designated hierarchy).
However, if the trigger is ‘Global’ in any stage this will always take precedence unless double knock is also set.
If the sounder programming is to be the same for every device then hit ‘apply these settings to other devices’ all of the
sounders on the panel will be listed and ‘apply to all’ or apply to selected’ can be hit.
If the sounder trigger is by address, zone or panel then ‘allocate devices box can be used, the allocate devices box
appears and the trigger source can then be selected.
For example if this sounder is to operate only on a specific zone then that zone can be highlighted and moved to the
right hand box (up to a max of 16 per stage) and hit ‘ok’.
If there are more than 16 zones that need to be programmed to control an output, then the other 2 stages can be
used to increase the allocated zones.
For example: Stage 1 can have zone 1-16, stage 2 can have zones 17-32 and stage 3 can have zones 33-48.
The sounder will now only operate when a device in the selected zone goes into fire
Another feature within the output programming is ‘Any zone 2 devices’ when this is selected and the allocate devices
tab hit any zone can be placed in the right hand section. This will effectively double knock the selected zone whereas
that zone must have 2 devices in fire to initiate outputs.
NOTE: Only 1 zone can be placed in the allocation list.

Add/Delete
This function allows new devices/zones to be added to the system.
When a zone is added then the panel uses the next zone number and adds it to the zone list.
When a new device is added then the panel asks which loop the device is connected to and the scans the loop
looking for a reply of 254, once this reply is received that device is allocated the next available address location, this
process is then repeated for the next device to be added. It is not possible to add more than one device at a time as
multiple replies of 254 would be received at the same time and the panel would try to address them all with the same
location number.
Once a device has been added then it will be placed in zone 1, it then needs to be assigned to the correct zone and
have text inserted. Sounders and I/O units can be added but on the older software will not operate so these needed to
be programmed by site installer. Version 2.4.25 addresses the sounder issue but I/O’s are yet to be resolved. (The
panel must receive a Watchdog reset for this to work)
When zones/devices are deleted then a list of available zones/devices is displayed and the one to be deleted is
selected and then the panel removes that zone/device.
When a Zone is deleted all devices in that zone are also deleted (a warning is displayed on the panel to this effect). If a
device is deleted the panel returns the address number back to 254 enabling the device to be re-used
Delete/Add Device cannot be used on address 1 of loop 1, the panel must ALWAYS have a device at this point.
Configure Heat Detectors
When a heat detector has been auto learnt on to a loop the default setting is rate of rise.
If a fixed temperature setting is required then the detector must be changed via the panel menu before the database is
downloaded from the laptop computer otherwise when a check config is carried out the there will be conflicts on all
the heats that are set to fixed temperature on the laptop. If this occurs and is left unmodified then the heat detectors
will operate as rate of rise and may produce unwanted alarms
Network programming
When panels are networked together they each take a network address, this address is set up in the engineering part
of the menu along with the total number of panels that are connected on the network. Panel 1 is automatically
configured as the master such that if a network fault occurs the master and faulty panel only will display the ‘Lon
Network Error’.
When setting up a network for the first time after the network card is connected, the panel must have a hard reset or
power cycle to enable the panel to search for and recognise that a card is present. For connection details see the
‘Networking section on page 20.
On the network all fires, faults pre-alarms etc. are transmitted to all panels. All user actions such as silence, reset and
mute buzzer are also transmitted, so panel 1 could silence the alarms on all other connected panels.
CF3000 / DF6000 / FX6000 Application Guide

APPLICATION GUIDE
17
It is possible to individually configure the panels not to receive silence, evacuate and reset operations from the network;
this is particularly useful where the panels are installed in separate buildings such as Student accommodation.
If the network is such that all messaging needs to be turned off but certain panels need to communicate directly with
each other then this can be controlled using the network filtering system where individual panel messaging can be
enabled/disabled across the network.
These features are found in ‘Network’ in the configuration menu.
Figure 8 Figure 9
Day / Night Settings
This is a function in the panel programming that allows certain devices to change their characteristics dependant on
the time of day. The devices that respond to this programming are the Heat detectors and Photo thermal.
To program day night mode on the panel you add an input device and then on the input programming menu you tick
the day night box.
Then you go to either thermal or photo thermal detectors and on the input programming menu, you tick day night
mode.
When you tick day / night on an input unit you are controlling when the panel goes into and out of day / night mode.
When you tick day / night on a detector you are instructing that specific detector to respond to day / night
programming.
NOTES
1. The input unit in question must be either an I/O unit or a Callpoint.
2. If a 3 Chan I/O unit is used only channel 1 can be used for this function (the other channels will put the
panel to full fire.
3. The input unit must be on the same Loop Controller as the devices it is setting to Day/Night
4. As soon as a Photo thermal has a tick against Day/Night the detector becomes pure heat. Hence the
Callpoint or I/O must be operated to return this device to dual mode.
5. A half moon indication now appears on the screen between the supervisor button an the clock when day
night is in operation.

High Level Menu
1. Disable all Outputs
This menu enables the engineer to carry out a full test without any outputs operating. This function can not be used
with Weekly or Walk test features.
The outputs can be switched on and off from this menu, if however the outputs are inadvertently left disabled when
the engineer leaves site, the user can re-enable the outputs from the enable/disable menu in 2214.
2. Buzzer Disabled/Enabled
The Buzzer can permanently disabled using this feature, a disabled led will be displayed on the panel and when
interrogating the disable devices in the user menu, this will be shown as 1 I/O disabled.
3. Intermittent Fault Search
When a device goes into fault the panel has polled the detector a number of times to confirm the fault (this is called
integration), this can take up to 90 secs dependant on the length of the loop and number of devices installed.
This feature forces the panel to indicate a fault on the first poll, which means the fault will appear almost
immediately.
This is particularly useful if a detector has an intermittent fault that would normally not be seen during the standard
polling sequence.
Generally this setting should be initiated at the commissioning stage.
4. Logos
This menu allows the engineer to change the Logo shown on the front screen of the panel
5. Reset to Factory Settings
This feature will restore the panel to it’s factory settings, which on a programmed system is catastrophic and not to
be used lightly.
The panel will go into Autolearn – losing all programming. It will also re-calibrate the screen and put the default logo
onto the screen.
6. Fire Routing & Protection Equip’t
This menu enables delays to be set on these two outputs.
7. Sounder 1 & Sounder 2
This menu allows the conventional sounder circuits to be set to continuous or pulsing, delayed or double knock

8. Terminology
When the panel goes into Fire the word FIRE or ALARM can be selected to display this as part of the indication on
the screen.
9. Autolearn Locking
This fearure has been added to prevent malicious or untrained personnel initiating an Autolearn once the system has
been commissioned.
10. Evacuate Locking
Evacuate, once initiated from the panel menu or a programmed input, will operate ALL internal and external outputs
connected to the loop. If the panel is controlling critical systems requiring a double knock scenario such as a Gas
release system this will be immediately overridden by the evacuate command.
In these instances evacuate would be considered inappropriate, therefore, evacuate can now be locked to prevent it
overriding critical programming.
11. Australian FB Screen
This enables the screen to show Zone or Address text when in Australian mode (see page 11)
12. UL 864 9th Edition
This is an additional feature to enable the panel to be operated in areas where UL is specified.
Essentially the panel remains the same; however, there are a number of differences in terminology and minor
changes to internal software.
Disablements are now displayed as Supervisory warnings, Faults become Troubles.
Sounder circuits become Notification appliance circuits (NACS) and the Loops, Signal line circuits (SLC)
The Mute buzzer is acknowledge alarm and as a UL requirement, the buzzer also re-starts after 8 hours if the panel
is not reset.
The Callpoint is now a Pull Station.
Earth trouble (fault) now has a separate led indication as well as information on the touch screen and buzzer
sounding.
T1/T2 remains the same feature but is now called ‘Positive alarm sequence’.
Alarm Verification has been slightly enhanced to provide 3 time scales 15, 30 and 60 secs

Networking
1. Introduction
• Up to 64 Easicheck and 127 CF3000 / DF6000 / FX6000 panels can be networked together.
• Each panel must have a Self Addressing Network Card fitted to the main PCB.
• Network Technology used is “LonWorks” (Protocol).
Figure 10
The network can be wired as either a Loop or a Radial. If Booster devices are used the system must be run as a
Radial The maximum cable length before Boosters are used is 1000m. The Terminator resistors are fitted across the
network to smooth out the signal. The network requires 51ohms across pos & neg, this can be achieved by cutting
off or soldering on resistors as required. (See Figures 10,11,12 & 13)
NOTE: Connection details on the terminal block are not polarity sensitive.
2. Cable Types
The recommended cable for the network connection between panels is an enhanced Firetuf cable manufactured by
Draka Cables (Pt No 910234). Screen continuity must be maintained throughout the entire network circuit including
each junction point.
The screen should only be earthed at the connection point at the first panel and not at any other point. The screen
or drain wire of the network cable should not be considered as a safety earth and therefore should not be
connected to the terminals marked with the earth symbol, except at the panel, and should not be insulated with
green/yellow sleeving.
Where the network passes between buildings, screen continuity should not be maintained from building to building.
A Booster device must however be used irrespective of cable length and should be fitted at a suitable point in the
link between buildings. The screen should be connected to the earth of one panel in each building.
The L-Switch Booster is made by a firm called Loytec, and works on a supply voltage of 9-35 v DC. This means that
the Easicheck or CF3000 / DF6000 / FX6000 panel external 24v output can power this device. The Booster has two
modes of operation ‘Smart Switch mode’ and ‘Configured Router’, for all applications we use the former mode. In this
mode the device automatically detects the bit-rates of the connected channel, copies the information detected on the
network and forwards it to the next network card.
