1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 TERMINOLOGY
In order to clarify the concepts expressed in the rest of the document, a definition of the terms used throughout the
manual is reported below.
Actuator = addressed output module connected to the detection line which is controlled by the control panel in case
of alarm or fault. The actuator can be configured to control: an alarm box (type “C”), a fire fighting apparatus (type
“G”), a fault warning device (type “J”) or a technological device ( type "T").
Adaptation = adjustment of the opacity average value detected by the optical smoke detector. Adaptation is required
to adjust detection as a consequence of to the progressive accumulation of dirt inside the smoke analysis chamber.
Alarm 1 only mode = when it is in idle condition and detects one or more alarms from devices belonging to the same
zone/group, the control panel switches to alarm state with siren output disabled. If other devices of the same
zone/group notify further alarms, the siren output keeps being disabled.
Detection circuit = wired physical connections between devices and the control panel.
Detector = automatic detector (sensor) which can detect an alarm condition when the element under control exceeds
a given alarm threshold.
Field fault = fault affecting the detection field (e.g., detectors, detection circuits, etc.).
Fire alarm zone = when an alarm condition occurs, all the output modules, siren outputs, alarm relays and indicators
are activated according to the alarm level reached by the control panel.
General fault = hardware fault relating to the control panel or the peripherals connected with it.
Group of devices = abstract entity which allows to group detectors, manual keys and input interfaces/modules
present on the detection lines and belonging to different or equal zones. It is useful to generate a higher level control
offering more versatility in those cases requiring a cross check.
Group of zones = abstract entity which allows to group zones to generate a higher level control offering more
versatility in those cases requiring a cross check.
Hotel (mode) = when the control panel detects a device in alarm, it switches to alarm condition with siren output
disabled and activates the timer. If another device goes to alarm condition while the timer is running, the residual timer
is compared with the hotel reload timer. If the hotel reload timer is lower than the residual timer, the latter is shortened
to the hotel reload timer. In any case, when the timer expires the control panel activates the siren output.
Loop line (class A) = the topology of the detection circuit is a closed loop. Both ends of the detection circuit are
connected to the control panel.
Manual call point = manual device which allows the user to force an alarm condition. The default alarm level
associated with the manual call point is two units.
Master Alarm = the MASTER ALARM function allows the activation of all actuators, appropriately enabled, when the
GENERAL ALARM key on the front of the control panel is pressed. The purpose is to activate alarm signals and
implementations in the shortest possible time and with a single action. The Master Alarm function can be performed,
after activation, also by manual keys or when a zone switches to the alarm condition.
Multiple knock = when the control panel is in idle condition and one or more alarm devices are detected in the same
zone and the sum of their weights is below the weight assigned to that zone, the control panel switches to the alarm
condition with the siren output disabled. When the sum of the alarm device weights in the same zone is equal to or
higher than the weight of the zone, the control panel activates the siren output.
Multiple knock with delay = when the control panel is in idle condition and one or more alarm devices are detected
in the same zone and the sum of their weights is below the weight of the zone, the control panel switches to the alarm
condition with the siren output disabled. When the sum of the alarm device weights in the same zone is equal to or
higher than the weight of the zone, the control panel enables the zone timer. When this timer expires, the control
panel activates the siren output.
Multiple knock with reset = when the control panel is in idle condition and one or more alarm devices are detected
in the same zone and the sum of their weights is below the weight of the zone, the control panel switches to the alarm
condition with the siren output disabled and starts the reset timer; when the sum of the alarm device weights in the
same zone is equal to or higher than the weight of the zone, the control panel goes to an alarm condition equivalent to
the one with siren output activated. When the reset timer expires, the control panel cancels the alarm condition and
returns to the idle state. This mode can be applied only to technological zones.

FAP54 Programming 7
Open line (class B) = one end only of the detection circuit is connected to the control panel.
Point/Device = objet connected to the detection circuit which can transmit or receive information concerning the fire
detection.
Single knock = when the control panel is in idle condition and detects a device in alarm, it switches to the alarm
condition and activates the siren output.
Single knock with delay = when the control panel is in idle condition and detects one or more devices in alarm, it
switches to the alarm condition with the siren output disabled and starts a timer. When the timer expires, the siren
output is activated.
System = set of connected devices (control panel, expansion, sirens, detectors, keypads, wiring cables, etc.) which
carry out a specific function.
The system interacts with the outside world through its inputs and outputs.
System fault = fault in the integrity of the data contained in the memories of the control panel or error in the execution
of the software program contained in the control panel.
Technological zone = when an alarm condition occurs, all the output modules are activated according to the alarm
level reached. The siren output, the relays and the alarm indicators are never enabled though.
Weight = it is the contribution brought by the device going in alarm condition to the alarm condition of the zone/group
it belongs to. When the sum of the weights of the devices in alarm belonging to the same zone/group is equal to or
higher than the one defined for that zone/group, the zone/group goes to alarm condition and, according to its
programming mode, can start its timer.
The weight of a zone in fire mode has a fixed unmodifiable value and equals 2; conversely, the weight of a zone in
technological mode can be modified. The weight of detectors is fixed and equals 1, whereas the weight of manual call
points is 2 (it can be downgraded to 1, though). The weight of the remaining types of devices is programmable.
Zone = geographical subdivision of the premises and environments under surveillance where one or more devices
(max 32) are installed and share the signalling equipment.
1.2 BASIC CONCEPTS
Normally a fire system is composed of several physical elements (detectors, manual call points, output modules,
detection lines,…) and abstract elements (zones, groups of devices, groups of zones) which make up a complex
control and surveillance system.
Therefore, it is necessary to briefly analyse the elements making up a fire system to better understand the
performances of FAP54 control panel.

8 FAP54 Programming
1.3 DETECTORS AND OUTPUT MODULES
These devices, installed on the detection lines, are subdivided into two categories:
 Detectors (smoke detectors, heat detectors, smoke-heat detectors, manual call points, etc.)
 Actuators (actuation modules, etc.)
When the control panel is in “field scanning” mode, the detectors constantly monitor possible alarm conditions (smoke
presence due to fire, temperature increase or air opacity ). If a device detects an alarm condition, it sends the alarm
information to the control panel through the detection line.
The control panel, in turn, activates the outputs associated with the alarm condition and the output modules
associated with the zone which the alarming detector belongs to. As a result, the output modules operate other
devices for managing and/or signalling the alarm condition.
The devices which can be connected to the detection lines of FAP54 control panel are the following:
DEVICE
Abbreviat
ion
SMOKE DETECTOR SM
HEAT DETECTOR HT
OUTPUT MODULE OM
CONCENTRATOR MODULE CM
MANUAL CALL POINT MN
CURRENT INPUT MODULE 4-20 mA CI
BEAM DETECTOR BD
SMOKE/HEAT DETECTOR SH
LATCHED INPUT MODULE LI
PULSED INPUT MODULE PI
SMOKE/HEAT/GAS DETECTOR XS
BATHROOM CALL CORD TB
GAS DETECTOR GS
LATCHED INPUT WITH SIREN OUTPUT IS
Each device is characterized by the following basic information:
 type of the device
 number of the circuit connected to the line where the device is located
 address assigned to the device
The maximum number of devices which can be connected to a detection line is 128.
Moreover, FAP54 control panel makes it possible to associate a 32-character text with each device for an easy
identification.
1.4 DETECTION LINES AND CONTROL PANEL
The detection lines are the wired physical connections over which communication between the devices and the
control panel takes place. They are also used by the control panel to power supply the devices.
The number of detection lines which can be connected to the control panel depends on the control panel configuration
and each line can be configured in loop or open mode.
If the line is configured as a loop, the wire where the devices are connected “comes out and returns” to the control
panel, whereas in the case of a line configured as open the wire “comes out” without returning to the control panel.
The control panel is equipped with circuit modules, which provide the interface between the detection lines and the
control panel.
They communicate directly with the devices and notify the control panel about alarms or faults occurring on the field.
Besides, these modules are autonomous and can work also without the control panel supervision.

FAP54 Programming 9
1.5 ZONE
The zone is an abstract entity composed of a set of detectors.
Each detector, regardless of the circuit it is connected to, can be associated with any zone. The only limitation is that
a detector can be associated with only one zone. Therefore, different zones cannot share detectors.
In theory, all the devices (not output modules) of the system can be associated simultaneously to the same zone.
Nevertheless, it is good practice to associate no more than 32 devices per zone, otherwise the system would not
be compliant with the standard EN 54-2.
FAP54 control panel provides the user with 480 zones.
The zone 480, in theory fully usable as the other zones, in practice covers the role of temporary storage area for the
devices just acquired by the panel at the end of an initialization procedure.
Therefore, it is necessary to move the devices just acquired by the panel from the zone 480 to other zones which the
user intends to use. For each of these zones the limit of 32 devices must not be violated.
If devices are left in zone 480, upon returning to scanning, the control panel will report a field fault.
It is possible to associate output modules with zones, these modules will be activated when the zone goes into alarm
condition (the zone goes into alarm condition when one or more detectors belonging to the zone detect an alarm).
Up to 50 output modules can be associated with each zone and each module can be associated with more than one
zone at the same time.
Each zone can be configured with either one of these operating modes:
 fire alarm
 technological
Each operating mode leads to a certain number of modes of activation of the alarm condition, the outputs and the
relays; it is possible to assign a 32 characters name to each zone.
1.6 GROUP OF DEVICES
The group of devices is an abstract entity composed of a set of detectors.
Each detector, regardless of the line it is connected to, can be associated with each group of devices, without any
limitation. Each detector can be associated with as many groups of devices as the user wants at the same time.
Therefore, different groups can share detectors.
FAP54 control panel provides the user with 240 groups of devices.
It is possible to associate up to 50 detectors with each group of devices.
Moreover, up to 50 output modules can be associated with each group of devices, and each module can be
associated with more than one group at the same time.
Each group of devices can be configured with either one of these operating modes:
 fire alarm
 technological
Each operating mode leads to a certain number of modes of activation of the alarm condition; it is possible to assign a
32 characters name to each group of devices.

10 FAP54 Programming
1.7 GROUP OF ZONES
The group of zones is an abstract entity composed of a set of zones.
Each zone can be associated with each group of zones, without any limitation. Each zone can be associated with as
many groups of zones as the user wants at the same time. Therefore, different groups can share zones.
FAP54 control panel provides the user with 240 groups of zones.
It is possible to associate up to 50 zones with each group.
Moreover, up to 50 output modules can be associated with each group of zones, and each module can be
associated with more than one group at the same time.
Each group of zones can be configured with either one of these operating modes:
 fire alarm
 technological
Each operating mode leads to a certain number of modes of activation of the alarm condition; it is possible to assign
a 32 characters name to each group of zones.
1.8 OPERATING MODES OF ZONES AND GROUPS
Each zone, group of devices or group of zones can be programmed with one of the following operating modes:
Fire: when an alarm occurs, all the output modules, the fire alarm signalling outputs (siren outputs), alarm relays and
indicators are enabled according to the alarm level of the control panel.
This mode is represented by the following acronym: FR.
Technological: when an alarm occurs, all the output modules are enabled according to the alarm level of the control
panel. The fire alarm signalling outputs (siren outputs) are never enabled.
This mode is represented by the following acronym: TN.
1.9 OPERATING MODES
Each zone, group of devices and group of zones can be programmed to switch to the alarm condition with the siren
output enabled or not.
The siren output, in turn, is activated when one or more detectors detect an alarm condition or because of the
expiration of an activation timer, according to the programming mode of the zone or group.
The alarm condition with siren output disabled is characterized by:
 buzzer activated
 fire alarm LED blinking
 alarm relay activated
 siren relay deactivated
 siren output deactivated
The alarm condition with siren output enabled is characterized by:
 buzzer activated
 fire alarm LED steady ON
 alarm relay activated
 siren relay activated
 siren output activated
