1Introduction
1.1 General Information
The FirePro Combined Siren module allows for up to 4 FP-08450/08451 Control Panels to monitor
and operate a singular siren circuit. This module is for use in installations where multiple control
panels have been installed, but individual sirens per panel are not required.

3Design Considerations
3.1 Operation
When any of the connected control panels enter an alarm condition, the siren/strobe connected to
the module will operate. Once initiated, the siren/strobe will continue to operate until the control
panel in alarm is silenced, by pressing the mode switch (see FP-08450 Product Manual).
If multiple control panels are in alarm, the siren/strobe will continue to operate until all effected
control panels are silenced.
3.2 Fault Monitoring
The siren/strobe output is a monitored circuit. The supplied end-of-line diode (1N4004) must be
installed on the last siren/strobe in the circuit, otherwise the fire control panel will display a fault.
The FirePro Combined Siren module reports the status of the siren/strobe circuit to the control panel
connected to the “FIRE PANEL 1” input. All other connected control panels are monitored only to
their connection to the module.
3.3 Mounting
For correct installation, the Module must be mounted by four bolts or screws through the mounting
holes in the flange. No penetrations are to be made through the casing of the panel.
The Module enclosure is rated IP65.

3.4 Cabling Requirements
When constructing extension leads the supplied Deutsch Plugs must be used to ensure water-proof
connections are made throughout the installation.
1. Cut cable to required length and strip outer insulation to approximately 25-30mm.
2. Strip inner insulation to approximately 6mm and using a Deutsch Crimping tool, fix pins to the
exposed ends of the cable, including the earth where applicable.
3. Place heat shrink over the end of the cable.
Identify correct socket on plug by the
numbers/letter on the side of the plug and
push through the gasket at the bottom of the
plug until a click is heard and the pin is locked in
place.
4. Place the locking mechanism inside the plug to ensure pins remain secure. (Male plugs; locking
mechanism is orange. Female plugs; locking mechanism is green).
5. Using the heat shrink, seal the back of the plug.
Cables are colour coded for easy identification.
When installing system, cables should be only
connected to the correctly coded cable. Colour
Coding for cables is as follows:
4Installation
FirePro generators must remain disconnected until system is completed and fire control panel is no
longer in a fault or alarm condition. The FirePro Universal Test Lamp (P/N FP-08800) can be used
to take the panel out of a fault condition.
Note: Any required extension leads must be constructed as per the instructions in 3.4 Cabling
Requirements.
1. Connect one of the installed control panels to the “FIRE PANEL 1” plug. This panel will report
faults on the module’s siren output, so should installed in a central location with easy access for
any operators of the vessel.
2. Connect all other installed control panels to the other available inputs to the module. Any inputs
that are not used MUST be sealed using a Deutsch plug and heatshrink.

3. Mount the siren/strobe (P/N FP-08940) in a location where it is visible and audible in all points
with the risk area and connect to the “SIREN OUTPUT” on the module (marked orange). If more
than one siren/strobe is being installed, they are to be connected using the secondary
positive/negative terminals in the sounder.
The supplied end-of-line diode should be installed in the secondary positive/negative terminals
of the last siren/strobe in the circuit. The diode is polarised, so the positive lead of the diode
(marked with a grey band) should be terminated in the positive terminal of the siren/strobe,
otherwise a fault will occur on the fire control panel.

6Operation
When any of the connected control panels enter an alarm condition, the siren/strobe will operate.
Once initiated, the siren/strobe will continue to operate until the control panel in alarm is silenced,
by pressing the mode switch (see FP-08450 Product Manual).
If multiple control panels are in alarm, the siren/strobe will continue to operate until all effected
control panels are silenced.
7Commissioning
Commissioning should be performed when the fire control panel is not in an alarm/fault condition.
Note: No personnel should be in the risk area until the fire system is fully isolated.
Note: Where shutdown relays have been installed, all personnel should be made aware equipment
will not be operable until testing is completed.
1. Isolate and disconnect the any installed FirePro aerosol generators. This should generate a fault
on the fire control panel. Connect a FirePro FP-08800 Universal Test Lamp.
2. Put each of the connected control panels into alarm, by pressing and holding the buttons on the
fire control panel or through the detection circuits.
3. Ensure that any sirens or strobes connected to the system are operational and operate when
each of the connected panels is in an alarm condition.
4. Test the silence function is operable by pressing the Mode button on each control panel.
5. Test fault monitoring by disconnecting the plugs to each of the connected control panels and to
the siren/strobe.
6. Disconnect the FirePro FP-08800 Universal Test Lamp and reconnect all installed FirePro aerosol
generators.
8Servicing and Maintenance
Inspection and servicing of the installed fire system should occur in accordance with the relevant
Australian Standards. This should include a visual inspection of the enclosure to ensure the seals
are intact.
Operation of any installed sirens/strobes and connected relays should be tested as outlined in (7)
Commissioning.
