1.1 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
The fire-prevention control panel was designed in observance to the rules EN54-2 and EN54-4, and it has the
following characteristics:
•The available versions of the control panel are at 1 –2 –4 loops.
•It is possible to address on a single loop up to 127 points (detectors, buttons, Input/output modules and
isolators), distributed like as follows:
1. Up to 120 points among detectors, buttons and Input/output modules;
2. Up to 7 isolator modules of line, which will take the addresses from 121 to 127 and they are
compulsory to conform with the regulations at least with every 32 detectors systems, buttons and
Input/output modules;
3. Un-addressed infinite detectors that will refer to point “0”.
•The installation of a control panel at 2 loops allows to install a total of 254 points with the possibility to
address up to 120 points among detectors, buttons and Input/output modules on each single loop.
•The addressing for the assignment to the detectors, buttons and Input/output modules is free (see
example in PART 5).
•The line isolators are addressed through automatic procedure directly by the control panel, assigning in
progression the addresses from 121 to 127.
The power supply and the communication to the device occurs through only two cables. A twisted and shielded
cable must be used in each loop.
Connectible detectors:
Smoke detector: EX-SOD, EX-SD
Heat detector: EX-TD
Multi-criteria detector: EX-MD
Connectable modules:
Manual button: EX-P5, EX-MP
Input / Output module: EX-MEIO
Isolator module: EX-MEIS (discontinued)
Passive isolator module: EX-ISO
Cables used for connections:
Shielded and twisted cable 0,5 mm2CABR205
Shielded and twisted cable 1 mm2CABR21
Shielded and twisted cable 1,5 mm2CABR215
ØThe detectors use a system of digital communication, a low frequency of communication and revelation
elements of errors that become highly free of interferences. The protocol has a special system of
communication (polling system) which allows a quick answer in case of alarm (127 points scanner in less than
half a second) and allows the control of the status, the analogic value and the working parameters of
detectors.
ØLoop can be subdivided into 63 zones per loop; each of them can contain one or more devices. A numerical
address must be assigned to each element of the loop. The address programming in the points occurs
through the control of the panel itself.
ØThe control panel has a retro-illuminated alphanumeric display at liquid crystals 8x21, characters for the
signal display and the programming of control panel. Faults and alarms are displayed through suitable
luminous leds. It is possible to display the analogic level of each detector, the detector type and the belonging
zone. The historical memory can total up to 1000 single or combined events carrying date and hour.

3. COM3
•Module RS 232: Report of detector check.
ØThe control panel is preset for a further output PS2 to which it is possible to connect a keyboard for a quicker
programming of points and zones.
ØAll the programming of the control panel can be made through the panel of the control panel itself, using the
keys that have alphanumeric function.

1.2 POINT ADDRESSING AND ACQUISITION
The necessity of being able more and more to facilitate the phase of starter of the system from part of the
installer, has made way of having to develop more ways of installation of the points in the loop. The installer turns
out therefore not obliged from procedures rigid and standards, being able to choose at second of the situations
the way simpler than installation.
The acquisition of a point from the control panel, can be executed with four different procedures of acquisition
addressing:
1. Acquisition for installation (valid only detectors);
2. Acquisition for activation;
3. Acquisition for serial number (only if the serial number label is present in the point);
4. Acquisition for preset address.
For a suitable selection of the acquisition procedure, refer to the “PRELIMINARY REMARKS FOR A CORRECT
INSTALLATION”.
Remember that:
The acquisition of points through the installation is preferred when it is necessary to insert further un-addressed
detectors on the loop, but on already installed base, along and already active loop and that presents already
addressed points (example: isolators modules – buttons).
The acquisition of points through starting provides for the activation of already installed points along the loop. Such
points must have address 0.
The acquisition of points through serial number provides for the acquisition of a point through the research of the
series number of the same point.
The acquisition of points through the preset address provides for the acquisition of further already installed points on
the loop and addressed previously. The user must not have points with address 0 on the loop.
For more information see chapters: 7.1 and 0.

2.1 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
The installation of the product must be performed by authorized technicians who scrupulously follow all safety
norms and procedures –law provision N° 46/90 (Legislative March 5 1990, n° 46). Only such appointed personnel
is authorized to open the Control Panel; inside there may be parts run through voltage electricity.
The product, is Class I conforming to the EN 60950-1 Normative, must be connected to the mains power line and
maintain the grounding connection and power surge protection (PE) as described on chapter 2.2.
Where to install the product.
The product should be installed in a dry area which is not subject to weather agents. Make sure that sufficient
space is left around the control panel box so that some ventilation is guaranteed. Do Not install the product on top
of or nearby a heat source or dusty areas or wherever there could be corrosive environments.
Excessive operating temperature may lead to malfunction and subsequently influence the overall performance
and duration of the product itself.
In presence of Humidity such as occasional drops of water caused by condensation may damage the product. In
the event of condensation, it is advisable to wait until the area is dried. If the product has been stored in a cold
environment for a long time, it is advisable to wait a couple of hours before the actual power up to the mains
electrical line.
IMPORTANT: only authorized personnel can open the product. Do Not try to open it without proper authorization
or else the warrantee will be Void. Remember to disconnect the mains power line and internal batteries before
proceeding to the regular maintenance every time.
2.2 CONNECTING THE CONTROL PANEL TO THE MAIN POWER LINE
230VCA
It is expected that the electrical wiring edifice/building in which the Control Panel resides is adequately furnished
with a mango-thermic switch as protection for overloads / power surges on line and short circuits.
An adequate omni-polarity switch should be in the power line frame and a accessible connector space fitting of at
least 3mm. apart. It is contemplated to adopt a uni-polarity sectioner device for the conductor phaser so that one
may identify the neutral.
The connector leads for the main power frame and internal cabling must be safely fastened by proper fastening or
fixing materials.
Shut-off main power before substituting the battery or performing other “open box” interventions on the product.
Introduce the mains power line of 230Vca in the panel container through the top right-hand corner by keeping it
distant from any internal wiring, micro-chip or main board circuitry.
Feed the power to the Control Panel adopting the proper mango-thermic power switch. The main line conductor
cable must be of at least 1,5mm² thick with a power work load which can sustain 250Vca.
NOTE: the output relays must be connected only to the circuits type SELV (not harmful power tension) in ref. to
the EN 60950-1:2001 Normative.
2.3 FUSES
On the electronic circuit board there are 5 fuses inserted on as many fittings placed vertically and they have their
feature functions described: type (F= fast, T= delayed) and nominal current.

2.4 FIXING THE CONTAINER
The control panel weighs about 10Kg without batteries inside (one battery weighs about maximum 6.5Kg). The
control panel must be fixed on a vertical wall or adapted and on equivalent support; it does not have to only come
supported without an adequate fixation. For the fixation to the wall, to use first the central holes, then the two
holes low. In order to improve the traction on the implantation support, it is possible to use the two holes in the up
too, for a total of five points of implantation. For the implantation, to use of the lives of 6mm of greater diameter.
For the fixing, use at least 3 screws of 6mm of diameter or more and with an adequate dowel. In case reinforce
the surface if necessary.
WARNING: the procedures described in this manual must be only made accessible to qualified personnel.
2.4.1 Cable arrangement
Payattention to the disposition 230Vac net cables and loops cables.
Watching frontally box the metallic opened, three rectangular openings on the bottom and three holes sluices pre-
cut on the top part, can be viewed.
Use the holes in the following way:
•rectangular hole or circular hole in top at left:
to use for the cables connected to the clips at left (outputs) and at the centrum (data transfer);
•circular hole in top at centrum:
to use for the cables connected to the clips at the centrum (data transfer);
•rectangular hole or circular hole in top at right:
to use for the cables connected to the clips at right (loop);
•rectangular hole in bottom at centrum:
to use for the cables connected to the clips in bottom (auxiliar output at 24Vdc) and that of the transformer
(230Vca);
It is advisable to arrange the cable in tidy mode, so as to diminish the eventual and remote interferences between
they and the control panel.
In particular it is advisable to avoid to make to pass under the card electronic cables of loop and power supply.
This operation, yet, is not necessary, in how much it control panel and the protocol of the data has been plans in
such mode to be immune at the disturbs and similar interferences.
2.4.2 Observation
In the connection between the control panel and the magneto-thermic power switch, it is reccomended to lock the
three-polar cable or the single power supply conductors in way that during the wiring there aren’t any mechanical
movements which may effect or weaken the connection itself.
The purpose of this pre-caution is to maintain in any case a electrical security condition.

For the connection to the power supply clips, the electrical conductors must be terminated between terminal clips,
at scope to have in any case a electrical security condition.
2.4.3 Assembly
After having mounted the panel in the most appropriate place, verify proper cabling to adopt and where to run it:
•the rectangle holes on the case back;
•the round holes are normally closed on the top part of the metal case.
In the case the round pre-fitted holes aren’t utilized; please leave them closed so to prevent any metallic or other
pieces to fall into the metal case so that you may prevent damages to the electronic card inside.
In case you change the cable access to the metal case; make sure that the holes are closed off so to prevent any
possibility of damages to the electronic card.
As for the actual mounting; proceed in the following manner making sure that there is no mains power line or any
current connected:
1. open the front cover by unscrewing the four screws on every corner 4x16;
2. only if you plan to pass the cables through the top holes; then you punch the pre-cut holes to access the
cabinet;
3. fix the metallic case by the three fixing/access points (first the middle one, then the two on the lower part);
one may also use the other two fixing holes on the top part in order to ensure a stronger fixing to the
surface;
4. introduce the cables into the metallic case in a most orderly fashion so that they are well sorted and
separated (follow the instruction reported on the previous page) so they do not run under the electronic
card.
5. proceed in inserting all the electrical connections as described on this manual;
6. close the front cover by re-screwing all the screws provided.
In the case the electronic card should be completely removed and /or re-inserted into the metallic case; pay extra
attention to the ground wire with cable endings "ring type" secured by soldered steel nuts to host the metal screws
4x20 directly on the metallic case.
When the electronic card is re-inserted, re-apply the ground cabling as they were originally: if not executed in this
way the electric safety conditions may be jeopardized.

2.5.1 The circuits of the detection
The control panel supports exclusively detectors and modules that use a communication system of digital data.
A part from a few models, which need auxiliary power supply 24Vdc, the elements are supplied and communicate
with the control panel through two cables connected to an input module. The detection circuit must be kept the
farthest possible from the other installations and the cables passage, to reduce the risk of external interfaces.
Don’t forget, use shielded and twisted cable, to reduce the interferences. The section will depend on the length of
loop.
WARNING
Installations with cable length superior to 2Km are not advised, because the capacity and the induction of cable
can start to interfere with data communication from this length onward.
LENGTH (m) SIZE (mm2)CAPACITY (pF/m)
Length up to 500 m min0,5 max. 150
Length up to 1000 m min1,0 max. 120
Length up to 2000 mmin1,5 max. 100
N.B.: test lines as provided in “LINE CABLE TEST PROCEDURE BEFORE LOOP CONNECTION” before
connecting loop to the control panel.
The system is preset for the installation up to four circuits of detection (1, 2, 3 and 4 loops) with a maximum
capacity of 508 points (detectors, buttons, Input/output modules or isolator) with the possibility to install up to 120
points (exclude isolator) in a single loop.
As reported in the instructions of the single products, the detectors, buttons and Input/output modules must be
addressed.
The descriptions of the different procedures of programming –addressing (single point; self-increment; through
series number) will be dealt with in PART 4 of this manual.

The installation of a detection circuit is made connecting all the control devices so that one closet ring is obtained.
As regards the conformity of the system to the rules UNI 9795 and EN 54-2, it is necessary to insert at least a
module isolator every 32 detectors or buttons. One can install up to a maximum of seven modules isolators for
each loop.
The connection uses the clips A-/ A+ for the installation output and B-/ B+ for the return of the same one.
The cable shielding (shielded) is connected only the part of starting to the clip SHI. The shielded of arrival
must not be connected.
•Start from +1A and arrive at +1B, start from –1A and arrive at –1B.
•Connect the cable shielding (SHI) of the starting part to the clip SHI. The arrival shielded must not be
connected.
•If a loop is not used it is necessary to short circuit it with the jumper (-A with –B and +A with +B).
In case a short circuit on the line is produced, the part of circuit interested by the fault and included between the
two modules isolator will be disconnected, with the consequent loss of communication of a maximum of 32
elements (maximum number of elements that the rule UNI 9795 allows to lose in case of line short circuit). In case
of single interruption of loop, the control panel will be able to communicate from the two sides (output and return)
without losing the communication with the other installed elements.
Both the short circuit and the line interruption produce a fault restorable only to executed repair.
2.5.2 Fire alarm siren output
The clips of siren output are identified with the initials S+ and S-.
Each output is supervised for different faults of short circuit or open circuit. It is necessary to connect a 5.6 K• -
1/4 watt resistance of end of line on the last siren of the line. In order to ensure a most accurate supervision, the
siren must be connected to a dedicated line with a terminal resistance. One should not make several lines which
carry also as many terminal resistances, this could result in an incorrect functioning.
In the picture below an example of connection of two sirens.
As regards the maximum supplied current from each output, see page 90.
It is always advised to use fireproof shielded and twisted cable.

2.5.3 Output for alarm siren fault
The fault output connector terminals are identified and marked as FAULT.
The output is normally supervised, but it is possible to change the type of set-up by acting on the software
configuration (see chapter 9.2.4) e hardware (by the Jumpers “SEL1”). In the case of selection of output
supervised, an end of line resistor of 5.6KΩ-1/4Watt needs to connect on the last siren of the line.
For the maximum power allowed on every output, see pg. 90 of this chapter.
It is advisable to always use a fire-resistant, double twisted and protected cable for the installation.
Depending on how the “CONFIG.” parameters are set-up (see chapter 9.2.4), it is necessary to modify, while the
control Panel is off, and the relative Jumpers to “SEL1”:

2.5.4 Outputs of auxiliary relays no supervised
The control panel circuit includes two outputs of programmable auxiliary relays no supervised, with contact NO or
NC free from 1A, 120Vdc / 24Vdc. For the connection of auto-supplied sirens refer to the product instructions.
It is advisable to always use a fire-resistant, double twisted and protected cable for the installation.
For the output configuration, refer to the chapter titled 9.2.5.
2.5.5 Open Collector outputs
Control panel has 4 programmable Open collector outputs. The load must be connected between the open
Collector output and the clip (+) of the 24Vdc ausiliary output. In this condition, the maximum current available is
of 24-27mA, this value depends on a resistance of 1K• that it comes put in series to the output.

2.5.8 Connection to the power supply
Execute the connections with suitable materials and procedures prescribed by the rules in force.
Do not execute the electrical connection unless you have verified the actual power cut-off.
PLEASE NOTE
•At the moment of installation always connect the mains 230Vac first and then the batteries. In this manner
you prevent dangerous shock sparks.
•The power cable for the Control Panel must be connected, for safety reasons and to facilitate
maintenance, to a magneto thermic switch dedicated and with proper electrical specifications. The
electrical connection should be direct without any kind of by-pass plug or prongs.
•The minimum required size of cable for power supply must be of 1,5mm² e 250Vca.
•The ground wire (yellow/green) and properly connected by the ground fastner screw from the power
supply to the other end of the mains power. Furthermore, it must be properly fixed with the screws
provided so to ensure it from mechanical solicitations.
•All cables connected to the Control Panel must be fire proof.
•Since the connection to the mains is not off the ground so it does not require any further fastening or
special support to the Control Panel. Shall the case require, please carefully apply any extra cable
connection between the Control Panel and the magneto thermic switch so that the cables and the end
terminals will not be subject to pulls or jerks in their passage way.
•To apply the connector cable to the power supply. the conductor cable endings should be "pin type", this
to ensure and maintain the safety conditions.
2.5.9 Battery connections
On the control panel electronic circuit board there is a fitting to host the power supply from the two auxiliary
batteries.
In the actual connections, pay careful attention to the polarities and to the color differentiation of the cables and
battery terminals. In case of faulty connection, the circuit breaker fuse which is removable will protect the battery
and circuit board.
2.6 LOOP SECTION
A section is a loop partition between two isolators. A loop carrying no partition has only one isolator, section (A-B).
In this figure there is a example of loop with 5 sections and 4 EX-MEIS isolators. The clips A are the loop start
and B are the loop end. The section partition is not applicable when there’re passive EX-ISO isolator.
2.7 LOCATION OF GROUND SHUNT IN THE CONTROL PANEL
The control panel checks the connection of the installation all the time to point out if some external cables have a
round dispersion. In this case an information in the control panel of ground shunt is given through a yellow led.
The control panel will work properly with a round shunt in the system. However it is suitable to solve the fault as
soon as possible.
Most round shunts are located making resistance measures in the cables before collecting them to the control
panel.
Round shunts can be found in the following external connections:
•Connection of siren circuits.
•Connection of detection loop.
•Auxiliary output of 24 Vdc.

2.8 MAINTENANCE
The maintenance measures advised in EN 54-14 must be followed.
2.8.1 Daily control
The user will check that:
•The control panel works properly. Otherwise the faults will be reported and registered and the
maintenance staff must be informed.
•It is advisable that all or any faults during testing or noted previously, are solved as soon as possible, for
a correct functioning of the control panel.
2.8.2 Weekly control
•It is advisable to check the status of disconnected and connected batteries.
•A detector or a button will be started up to test the control panel and the connected fittings of alarm. It is
suitable to check a different zone every month.
•Where it is admitted, inform the fire brigade or the control centre.
Any malfunctioning must be noted in the event register. The problems must be solved as soon as possible, in
case contacting the installer.
2.8.3 Four-monthly control
The maintenance staff must carry out the following controls:
•Look over the notes of the event register.
•Examine all the connections of batteries.
•Check the alarm functioning, auxiliary fault of the control device and signaller.
•Visual inspection of the control devices and signaller, a possible rise in humidity or any other type of
decay.
•Check there are not structural changes that can cause the malfunctioning of the detectors, manual
buttons or sirens. In this case carry out a visual inspection, too.
Any problem must be noted in the event register, solving the probable problems as soon as possible.
2.8.4 Yearly control
The maintenance staff must have the duty to perform the following controls:
•Carry out the control procedures advised daily, monthly and four-monthly.
•Test the control panel and check all the detectors work as recommended by the manufacturer (check the
parameters).
•Look over visually all the connections to the devices and relative supports are safe, they are not damaged
and are protected properly.
•Examine and check all the batteries.
Any fault must be noted in the event register, solving the problems as soon as possible.
2.8.5 Cleaning the Smoke Sensor
For proper functioning of the detector, it is necessary to perform a yearly periodic maintenance check of at least 2
interventions.
Detector Test: verify the proper functioning of the detector through a smoke device by paying careful attention in
not getting the internal chamber dirty or damage the sensor itself. An alarm simulation can be performed by
activating the internal Reed by placing a magnet (note: the Reed test does not qualify as a smoke test).
Detector cleaning: the detector must be cleaned by means of compressed air blown through the internal part of
the detector. Unscrew the bottom counter-plate screws to take the internal chamber out from the detector head.
Clean the chamber, reassemble by making sure that the bottom counter-plate properly matches the fitting (the
part where the Reed is placed corresponding to the n°4 of the bottom plate). Close the detector by replacing the
screws without screwing too tightly.

3.1 LINE CABLE TEST PROCEDURE BEFORE LOOP CONNECTION
For connection use twisted and shielded cable with electro conductive cable characteristics as reported on table:
LENGTH (m) SIZE (mm2)CAPACITY (pF/m)
Length up to 500 m min0,5 max. 150
Length up to 1000 m min1,0 max. 120
Length up to 2000 mmin1,5 max. 100
Check if line isolators are present: they must have been installed with zero address. In this case, at unsupplied
line, the contact of isolator will be off to allow the test of negative-positive electro conductive cables and shielded
at both ends of the loop.
TESTS TO EXECUTE FOR A CORRECT OPERATION OF CONTROL PANEL:
3.1.1 Line continuity
Check the resistance of line electro conductive cables (-1B and -1A, ...) with tester at 200 •.
A resistance for line electro conductive cables superior to 40 •is too high!!
Possible causes can be:
-the line is too long;
-free clips;
-false contacts;
-cable of insufficient section;
-partly cut off or damaged cable.
The cables must usually present a resistance between 20 and 25 •. Besides the resistance of the negative cable
and the positive one must result similar.
3.1.2 Shielded
It must present treble the resistance of line cables at most.
Warning: if shielded cable presents a resistance superior to treble line cables, it is necessary to check the path of
shielded itself.
The shielded must be shielded in the connection to the points (buttons, I/O modules, ...), to avoid the
short circuits with electronic parts..
3.1.3 Isolation between positive and negative of loop
A value superior to 20K•with 127 installed points or gradually increasing values of resistance with installed fewer
points can be found with tester at 200K•or higher range.
3.1.4 Isolation between SHI / –LOOP and SHI / +LOOP
Infinite Ohm value must be found for the isolation-make sure you are not powered up.
If the infinite value is not found, please check the positive and negative wiring for short circuit which may be found
throughout the loop circuit.
NOTE: the clip SHI gets inserted only in the shielded side (that is shielded of start). In the module isolator,
connect the shielded cable wire between the common terminal and the Common wire terminal.

3.1.5 Check of SHI short circuits at power supply line
Connect the positive clip +24; to the loop
Set the tester at 50Vdc and measure the voltage between shielded and the negative (of the battery or the clip –
24): THERE MUST NOT BE VOLTAGE!!!
A possible reading of voltage may occur in the case of short circuit in one ore more detectors or between the
shielded clip means that a short circuit, inside a few detectors, between shielded clip and the clip R and the
terminal R and common terminal (common clip of base nr. 2 or nr. 3).
FURTHER CHECK FOR SHORT CIRCUITS ON THE LOOP LINE AND POWERED UP SYSTEM:
Connect the negative cable of the loop to the clip –24; all leds must flash.
Connect a 1KΩ-5Watt resistance between +loop and +24.
The un-flashing leds suggest a problem on the detector.
IF THE LEDS ARE STILL NOT FLASHING; CHECK FOR SHORT CIRCUITS ALONG THE LINE.
Warning: the presence of isolators along the line cuts off the check verification, so to have final proof for the
proper functioning, one may “Jeri Wire” the relay by bridging it to the jumper terminal.
