Introduction
CF3000 provides all of the sophisticated features required of a leading edge analogue addressable fire
system along with the simple operation and neat installation demanded by installers and building users.
The panel can be flush or surface mounted and the generously sized metal back box allows ample
facilities for rear or top cable entries. It is available in single two and four loop versions, with or without an
integral printer.
In addition both passive and fully functional repeater panels are available.
A comprehensive range of ancillary devices is available to operate with CF3000, including optical,
ionisation, photo-thermal and heat detectors, base mounted and stand alone sounders (including an IP67
version) a loop powered beacon and a wide range of input and output interfaces.
Each of the CF3000 system components has been specifically designed to operate as part of a CF3000
system, this provides an assurance that the panel, the detectors, the interfaces and the ancillaries are all
fully compatible with each other and that the full range of system functionality is supported by each
device.
Each loop of a CF3000 panel can accommodate up to 200 addresses. To comply with EN54
requirements no more than 512 addresses should be connected to a single panel. Each panel can
indicate upto 96 zones. Panels are available with upto 4 detection loops, up to 126 panels can be
networked together to form a single system capable of operating with over 32,000 devices.
Note:
Network systems fall outside the scope of EN54.

System Design Guidelines
Guidelines
Systems should to the relevant local standards and codes of practice, for the UK this is BS5839 Pt 1.
CF3000 meets all the relevant requirements of BS5839 Pt 1: 2002. Installation planning is simplified by
the fact that every addressable CF3000 device contains an integral short circuit isolator. Care must be
taken to ensure that local standards requirements regarding aspects such as loop coverage, area
covered by a single spur and cable specification are observed.
There may be certain applications in which deviations from the code may be necessary and these must
be listed on the commissioning certificate. (See commissioning section).
Loop Lengths
The maximum permitted loop length is 2 km measured from the near to the far terminals on the CF3000
motherboard PCB. There is no minimum limit to loop length. Any wiring spurs off the loop must be
included within the 2 km limit. On long loop runs, the lengths of wiring rises and falls (between floors,
down to manual callpoints) must be included. Remember to include these especially when taking loop
lengths from plan drawings.
Loop Loading - Total Number of Addresses
The total number of addresses per loop is 200. this includes detectors, callpoints and all other
addressable items (e.g. MPU, MIO, loop repeaters etc.) When designing systems its recommended that
allowances are made for future expansion, Short circuit isolators are incorporated into every CF3000 loop
device, including Smoke detectors, heat detectors, sounders, callpoints and interfaces. Therefore, no
further fault protection is required, in the event of a single fault, none of the devices connected to the loop
will fail to operate as the fault will be isolated by the two adjacent devices. Spur connected devices
downstream of a cable fault will cease to function.
CF3000/PR Repeater Panels
Each repeater unit requires one address and consumes no more current from the loop than a smoke
detector. The repeater also requires a local mains supply and incorporates battery backup.
Loop Loading System Verification
Unless a loop loading calculation has already been carried out, please contact our technical support
department (01302 303350), before starting installation to verify that a proposed loop loading
arrangement is acceptable.

Detectors
Analogue Photoelectric Detector - CAP320
This is the most commonly used detector and is
most suitable for detecting slow burning fires. The
status LED can be programmed to either be
permanently off under normal conditions or to
pulse in order to confirm that it is in
communication with the CF3000 control panel.
Analogue Photo/thermal Detector - CAPT340
This is a new addition to the Cooper range of
detectors. It is the ideal detector for a multi-use
environment as it has an excellent response to
smouldering and fast burning fires. Photo/thermal
detectors can be programmed for thermal only
operation at certain times of day. The status LED
can be programmed to either be permanently off
under normal conditions or to pulse in order to
confirm that it is in communication with the
CF3000 control panel.
Analogue Heat Detector - CAH330
Heat detectors are suitable for dusty environments
or environments where smoke is likely to be
present under normal operating conditions. The
CAH330 can be programmed to operate in A1R,
BS or CS mode of operation depending on the
required application and sensitivity requirements.
The status LED can be programmed to either be
permanently off under normal conditions or to
pulse in order to confirm that it is in
communication with the CF3000 control panel.

Sounders and Beacons
A wide range of loop powered sounders and beacons are available to operate with CF3000 consisting of
a combined sounder base with a maximum output of 95 dB(A), a standalone sounder with a maximum
output of 100 dB(A) that is available in standard or weatherproof versions and a stand alone loop
powered beacon.
For applications where a discreet dedicated sounder is required, a cover plate is available for the white
base mounted sounder enabling it to be used as a stand alone wall or ceiling mounted sounder.
All of these devices are fully programmable via the sophisticated CF3000 multi stage cause and effect
programming facilities.
All sounders have multiple selectable volume settings, the volume setting is controlled globally
by the CF3000 panel and so can be altered without needing to access the sounder. Alternatively
individual sounders can be set through the Cooper programming utility.
Base Sounder - FXN538LBS
The CAS380 has been designed specifically to complement the latest generation of Cooper soft
addressed detectors. it consists of a first fix bracket, and a main body which clips onto the bracket
incorporating the sounder and a detector mounting base in a single composite assembly.
After the body has been clicked into place and connected, a detector or front cover is then added to
complete a very simple quick and neat installation. The cover enables the CAS380 to be used as a
discreet stand alone wall or ceiling mounted device. The sounder base design incorporates a mechanism
that can be activated if required to lock either the detector or the cover into place to prevent unauthorised
removal.

Compatible Interfaces
CF3000 has been designed to be suitable for a wide range of applications, various interfaces have been
developed to enable the simple integration of other fire systems or building control and safety systems.
The following devices are available:
3 Channel I/O device - CIO351
CIO351 has 3 input channels and 3 output channels, it is used to monitor up to three separate inputs
from equipment such as sprinkler flow switches and also to provide 3 separately controlled volt free
output contacts which are intended to be used to control external equipment such as air handling plant
or access control systems. All inputs and outputs operate completely independently of each other and
can be programmed using the sophisticated cause and effect capabilities of CF3000 to operate either
globally or in response to activation of specific devices or specific inputs. Inputs are monitored for open
and short circuits, a specific resistance is required to activate an alarm condition, fully open or short circuit
conditions are monitored and generate a system fault signal. Inputs are suitable for use as fire signal
inputs such as from a sprinkler flow switch, however they can also be used to monitor non fire inputs
such as external keyswitches. Outputs are rated to switch a maximum of 1A resistive at 30V dc.
CIO351fixes to a standard, deep, double gang back box and can be either surface or semi recess
mounted.
CIO351T
This unit is identical in build to the CIO351 but this has been designed to take 3 addresses (this can be
expensive in terms of outputs because it replies as 3 x 3 Channel I/O's), this means that text information
can be allocated to each channel. It also allows each individual input and output to be disabled (by
address). The maximum number of addressable CIO351T per loop is 6.
CIO351S
Once again this unit is identical with the CIO351 only taking 1 address. The programming is the same as
the CIO351. This unit was designed so that the relay outputs reset on silence rather than full reset, thus
enabling the user to interface this device with other fire panels and hence prevents locking up. The
maximum number of addressable CIO351S per loop is 20.

1 Channel I/O device with mains rated switching capability - CMIO353
CMIO353 is a single channel input / output unit, the output is capable of switching up to 8 A at 230 V ac.
Commonly used for applications such as door release controls and plant shut down signalling The input
is monitored for open and short circuits, a specific resistance is required to activate an alarm condition,
fully open or short circuit conditions are monitored and generate a system fault signal. The input is
suitable for use as a fire signal input such as from a sprinkler flow switch, however it can also be used to
monitor non fire inputs such as an external keyswitch.
Zone monitor unit - CZMU352
CZMU352 is designed to enable a zone of compatible conventional detectors and callpoints to be
connected into the CF3000 loop, it is compatible with up to 20 Cooper conventional detectors connected
via FXN520 bases. Please refer to local standards e.g. BS5839 Pt1:2002 for details of the maximum
allowable area to be covered by a single spur / zone. CZMU352 fixes to a standard, deep, double gang
back box and can be either surface or semi recess mounted. When semi recessed only the front section
protrudes giving a maximum 29mm depth.
MIU871-IS
Similar to the above but the detection zone has been programmed to accept a Zener barrier and zone of
intrinsically safe detectors. End of line for this zone now becomes 6k8 and the diode in the detector base
must be removed.

Shop Unit Interface - CSUM355
CSUM355 accepts a zone of conventional detectors plus an unlimited number of callpoints which can be
connected to the same input as the detectors or a separate callpoint input if required. There is also a
facility to connect a power supply, which can then be monitored for fault.
In addition it has the facility to connect two circuits of conventional polarised sounders, which are
monitored by means of an end of line resistor and powered in alarm conditions from the external power
supply. The sounder circuits can be programmed to operate in pulsed, continuous or time delayed mode.
Please refer to local standards e.g. BS5839 Pt 1:2002 for details of the maximum allowable area to be
covered by a single spur / zone.
Note: This unit must always be used with a 24 V power suply

Spur Isolator - CSI350
Enables soft addressing to work when the loop contains spurs, it controls the addressing operation so
that when the system reaches a spur, all devices on the spur are allocated an address before it continues
addressing the loop. The device also incorporates a short circuit isolator. Because each device contains a
short circuit isolator only 1 is required at the start of each spur. CSI350 is mounted on a standard deep
double gang back box (supplied) please refer to BS5839 Pt 1:2002 f
4 Way Sounder Circuit Controller - CSC354
CSC354 provides power for 4 separately controllable conventional sounder circuits, each circuit can be
separately programmed. CSC354 is designed to greatly simplify installation in applications where
specialist sounders or beacons are required since it powers the sounders and allows full control of the
sounder operation without having to wire the sounder back to the CF3000 control panel.
A 4 way unit takes up a single address but each circuit can be independently controlled. An CSC354 unit
requires a local un-switched 230 V supply and incorporates a back up battery to 24 hours of standby
operation followed by a minimum of 30 minutes of full alarm ringing. A standby of 72 hours can be
achieved at the expense of reduced load capability.

Equipment Compatibility
Detectors
Loop wired detectors must be of the Cooper series soft addressed analogue type. FXN500 series
conventional detectors can be connected via an CZMU352 interface. The connection of other detector
types via an CZMU352 interface is not recommended.
Callpoints
Loop wired callpoints must be the Cooper series soft addressed analogue type, FX200 series
conventional callpoints can be connected via an CZMU352 interface. The connection of other callpoint
types via an CZMU352 interface is not recommended.
Sounders
Loop powered addressable sounders must be of the Cooper series soft addressed analogue type.
Conventional sounders can also be connected either to the conventional sounder circuits at the panel or
to the loop via a CSC354 addressable sounder controller interface providing they meet the following:
1. They are suitable for operation between 18 V and 28 V.
2. They are polarised and suppressed.
3. The total alarm load is less than the rating of the panel / alarm power interface.
Note:
It is possible to use devices outside these requirements if they are supplied with power from a separate
source and switched via a suitable relay.
Relay Circuits
Additional relays can be added to the CF3000 system by using either CMIO353 or CIO351 relay units.
Relays / Auto-dialers and auxiliary equipment A wide variety of relays and other equipment can be
connected to the CF3000 system, but you should note the following constraints:
1. CF3000 provides monitored outputs to drive fire and fault relays mounted in external equipment.
External relays should be suppressed. If a non-suppressed relay is used then a diode can be
connected to suppress any reverse EMF on the release of the relay which might cause the panel to
malfunction.
2. A 24 V dc output is provided at the panel to make it easy to connect ancillary equipment. Although the
panel can supply a continuous quiescent load of up to 30 mA, BS5839 precludes this practice and
any ancillary equipment you connect should only consume power in the alarm or fault mode to meet
the requirements of BS5839.

CF3000 - USER MANUAL

System Overview
Simple User Interface
The main element of the user interface with CF3000 is a large (120mm x 90mm visible area) touch screen
display, which provides comprehensive user information and also acts as a multifunctional keypad.
Comprehensive context sensitive help information is provided throughout the menus to assist unfamiliar
users with system operation.
The CF3000 touch screen display automatically reconfigures to suit the selected function, for example, if
the change device text menu option is selected, the touch screen is automatically formatted as a full
QWERTY keyboard to enable fast and simple text entry.
The use of the touch screen display enables a wide range of user and engineering facilities to be
incorporated into the panel whilst still offering simple operation.
As well as a large format LCD display providing full system status information, the panel incorporates 96
traditional zone indication LED's to provide clear information about the status and spread of a fire even to
a user who is completely unfamiliar with the operation of the system.
In addition there are a number of system status LED's designed to give clear status information to non
technical users.
User Configuration And Maintenance Facilities
CF3000 has comprehensive facilities for on site system configuration, whereby the user can add or
remove simple devices or change device text directly via the panel, without the need for a service
engineer to visit site. For initial configuration or major system changes special PC configuration software
is available enabling Cooper Lighting and Safety personnel to do this more efficiently than can be
achieved using the system screen. Exiting configurations can be uploaded to the PC so that changes can
be made to the existing system rather than having to revert to initial files.
Sophisticated Sounder Control Facilities
CF3000 has the ability to support highly complex ringing pattern requirements. Multistage cause and
effect programming is possible whereby each addressable sounder or output interface can be
programmed independently if required and can be set to respond to specific addresses, specific
detection zones, specific panels on a networked system or standard global ringing.
The panel supports three separate sets of programming per sounder and each stage can be triggered
differently For example, if a single detector is triggered the panel can be programmed such that the
sounder nearest to the detector operates immediately and continuously, the remaining sounders in the
affected zone operate in pulsed mode and the other sounders delay for a selectable period to allow the
cause of the alarm to be investigated before global ringing commences.
