Introduction
This Manual is intended as a guide to the engineering and commissioning principles of the MAGDUO 2-
wire Fire Detection and Alarm system and covers the system hardware information only.
Due to the complexity and inherent importance of a system covering a ‘Life Protection Risk’, training on
this equipment is essential and commissioning should only be carried out by competent and approved
persons. For further details of the availability of commissioning services, please contact your supplier.
System Design
This document does not cover Fire Alarm system design and a basic understanding is
assumed.
A knowledge of BS5839: Pt 1: 2017: Fire Detection and Alarm Systems for Buildings
is essential.
It is strongly recommended that a suitably qualified and competent person is consulted in
connection with the Fire Alarm System design and that the entire system is commissioned
in accordance with the current national standards and specifications.
Equipment Guarantee
The equipment carries no warranty unless the system is installed, commissioned and
serviced in accordance with this manual and the relevant standards by a suitably qualified
and competent person or organisation
Anti Static Handling Guidelines
Immediately prior to handling any PCBs or other static sensitive devices, it is essential to
ensure that a personal connection to earth is made with an anti-static wrist-strap or
similar apparatus.
Always handle PCBs by their sides and avoid touching any components. PCBs should also
be stored in a clean dry place, which is free from vibration, dust and excessive heat and is
protected from mechanical damage.
Warning
Do not attempt to install this equipment until you have fully read and understood this manual.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the equipment and could invalidate the
warranty.
Technical support will not be available if the instruction manual has not been read and
understood. Please have this instruction manual available whenever you call for
technical support.

EMC
This equipment when installed is subject to the EMC directive 2014/108/EC. It is also
subject to UK Statutory Instrument 2006 No. 3418.
To maintain EMC compliance, this system must be installed as defined within this manual.
Any deviation from this renders the installer liable for any EMC problems that may occur
either to the equipment or to any other equipment affected by the installation.
The MAGDUO System
The MAGDUO system is an intelligent ‘2-wire’ system utilising a conventional type cabling format. The
system is classed as ‘Analogue non-addressable’ due to the architecture used within the design. All
field devices including sounders can be connected to the zone via a common 2-core screened cable.
The devices communicate with the control panel using the ‘MAGDUO’ data protocol.
The MAGDUO panel monitors each zone for detector head removal, device fault, ‘End of line’ fault and
open or short circuit fault.
Devices or detector heads should not be removed with the zone switched on.
Switch off the zone (at access level 3) before removing any devices or detector
heads from that zone.
Detector heads must only be removed using the correct head removal tool.
Removing detector heads without using the correct tool will result in damage to
the head / detector base.
Every MAGDUO device has an inbuilt ‘End of line’ signal, which may be activated as required. All
setting options are configured using the DIL switches fitted to the device.
Do not use a resistor or Capacitor or any other 3rd party ‘End of line’ module for
‘End of line’.
The MAGDUO control panel also provides two monitored outputs that may be configured as
conventional sounder circuits or conventional 24V monitored relay circuits, a volt free common fire relay
and a volt free common fault relay. There are also two multifunction latching/non-latching inputs and
one monitored input programmable with options such as ‘Class-Change’ and ‘Remote fire input’.
The MAGDUO control panel incorporates an integral power supply unit and requires 2 x 12V 3.2Ah (or
3.3Ah) batteries to provide up to 48 hour standby times. For 72 hour standby times a separate external
battery box can be purchased which requires 2 x 12V 7Ah batteries.
All standby times depend on the system loading (refer to Technical Data for further information).
Standby battery calculations may be made using the MAGDUO Panel Battery & Loading Unit
Calculation Sheet.
Unlike most conventional fire alarm systems, which require separate pairs of cables for detector zones
and sounder circuits, the MAGDUO system requires one 2-core screened cable for each zone to
accommodate both detection devices and sounders. Furthermore, sounders are incorporated within the
detector to reduce system components and simplify installation.
The MAGDUO panels include some features described in EN54-2 as ‘optional functions with
requirements’. These are:-
Output to fire alarm devices EN54-2 Clause 7.8
Output to fire protection equipment, type A EN54-2 Clause 7.10.1
Dependency on more than one alarm signal, type A (Confirmation) EN54-2 Clause 7.12.1
Delays to outputs EN54-2 Clause 7.11.1

Input/output facilities
These facilities are described elsewhere in this manual.
Control Panel
Mounting the Control Panel
First identify the proposed location for the control panel. Ensure that the control panel will be easily
accessible and that account is taken of any subsequent work that may affect access.
The control panel should be located at the most likely point of access for the fire services. It should be
mounted on a flat, vertical wall at a height where the indicators may be seen without difficulty.
Do not locate the control panel at high level where stepladders or other access equipment may
be required, in spaces with restricted access, or in a position that may require access panels to
be removed.
Do not locate the control panel where extremes of temperature or humidity may occur, or where
there is any possibility of condensation or water ingress.
Like all electronic equipment, the control panel may be affected by extreme environmental conditions.
The position selected for its installation should therefore be clean and dry, not subjected to high levels
of vibration or shock and at least 2 metres away from any pager or radio transmitting equipment.
Ambient temperatures should be within the range given within the Technical Data section, e.g. not
directly over a radiator, heater or in direct sunlight.
In common with all microprocessor-controlled panels, the control panel may operate erratically or may
be damaged if subjected to lightning induced transients. Proper earth/ground connections will greatly
reduce susceptibility to this problem.

Power Supply Unit
The mains supply should be dedicated to the Fire Alarm Panel and should be clearly labelled ‘FIRE
ALARM: DO NOT SWITCH OFF’ at all isolation points. The Fire Alarm Panel 230V AC supply requires
a 3 amp un-switched fused spur with local isolation and fixed wiring between 0.75 mm2and 2.5 mm2,
terminated into the fused terminals provided in the back box. The main PCB is supplied via a Switch
Mode Power Supply located below the vented cover. Only the power supply provided in the unit may be
used to power the control panel. Both mains termination and location of power supply are shown below.
The control panel requires standby batteries 2 x 12V 3.2Ah (or 3.4Ah) sealed lead acid batteries
should be installed according to the following diagram. These are to be sited in the control panel back
box using the provided clamps. The batteries should be connected in series using the connection leads
supplied. See the section entitled Control Panel Connections for panel connections.
Note that the charging circuit will be in its high impedance state (approximately 3V DC) if no batteries,
faulty batteries, or only one battery is connected. The full 27V DC (nominal) charging voltage should be
present if the correct batteries are connected.
If the system shows a charger or battery fault on first power up, leave the system to charge the batteries
for 5-6 hours.
In order to test for correct operation of the batteries, remove the mains 230V AC fuse and allow the
batteries to settle from their charging voltage for approximately 5 minutes. The battery voltage should
then be measured using an electronic test meter and a voltage greater than 24V DC should be seen.
Note that batteries are electrically live at all times and great care should be taken to ensure that the
terminals are never presented with a short circuit. Care should be taken at all times, especially during
transit, installation and normal use.

Batteries no longer required should be disposed of in a safe and environmentally friendly manner by the
manufacturer or a suitable recycling service. They should never be incinerated or placed in normal
rubbish collection facilities.
General Assembly
All Panels
Topology & Cabling
All system wiring should be installed to comply with BS 5839: Pt 1: 2017 and BS 7671 (wiring
regulations) and any other standards relevant to the area or type of installation. A cable complying with
the BS 5839: Pt 1: 2017 Category 1 (cables required to operate for prolonged periods during fire
conditions) is required. This must be a 2-core 1.5mm2screened fire resistant cable (ie. FP200, Firetuff,
Firecell, Lifeline or equivalent).
Each zone requires a separate 2-core radial circuit from the control panel to the furthest point of the
zone, to a maximum of 500 metres.
In order to protect against possible data corruption it is important to ensure the following points are
adhered to:
1. The cable screen must be connected to earth/ground at the control panel only.
2. The cable screen must not be connected to earth/ground at any point other than the control
panel (at the SCRN terminal provided, not at any earthing point). Do not connect the
screen to any device back box used other than those supplied by ESP.
3. The cable screen continuity must be maintained at every point of the circuit, using the
terminals provided or a suitable connection block.
4. Do not use a 4-core cable as a circuit zone in and zone out, due to the possibility of data
corruption. It is essential that two 2-core screened cables are used if this is required.
Refer to the following System Wiring Schematic for further details.
