2 Control Panel and Associated Housing FireClass Fire detection system FireClass Panels
6 Product Information and Design Application Doc. version 1.0
2 Control Panel and Associated Housing
2.1 Key Functions and Features
2.1.1 General Description-Panel and
Repeater
The FireClass Lite supports only repeaters on RBUS and
does not support other RBUS ancillaries.
The FireClass Lite is limited in firmware to support 125
addressable devices on 1 loop (Loop expansion is not
supported).
The FireClass Lite control panel dimensions and screw-
hole positions are as shown in Fig. 1.
The Field Interface Board use in the panel is the FIM801
Lite which is a partially populated version of the
FIM801 used in other FireClass addressable fire alarm
panels. (See Fig. 3).
Investigate Delay and Day/Night mode LED functions
are available.
For additional details, refer to ‘Operator Functions’ in
the FireClass Addressable Panels Product Information
and Design Application guide.
A 2.5 A power supply unit is fitted as standard.
It supports 7 Repeaters.
It has a 32 zone, LED display.
The Autoconfiguration feature restricts the number of
addressable devices on the loop to 125.
It is a stand-alone (non-networkable) version only.
2.2 FireClass Lite Express
It is a new template to support FireClass Lite. It is included
in the FireClass Express installer. The FireClass Lite Express
displays the below features:
The FireClass Lite Express supports 32 zones.
The FireClass Lite Express provides access to all 250
loop addresses, but only 125 may be used. This may
not include 125 devices if multiple addresses are used
per device.
It has a maximum power supply unit of 2.5 A.
It does not have any network support.
It has the same cause and effect mappings between the
input and output states as applicable to other panels.
FireClass Lite Express
FireClass Lite panels support only the Lite tem-
plate. Attempting to download any other tem-
plate will result in download failure and the mes-
sage is displayed as Incompatible Con-
figuration.

2.5 Component Module Descriptions FireClass Fire detection system FireClass Panels
12 Product Information and Design Application Doc. version 1.0
2.4.6 PMM800 Power Monitoring
Module
Input
– The 230 V AC mains supply is connected to the
input of the power supply unit (BAQ60T24). The
28.6 VDC output from the power supply unit is fed to
the input of the PMM800.
Output
Table 7 shows the 3 DC output rails voltage ranges:
The PMM800 provides four 24 V outputs. Each output is
fitted with fuse. These are F1AL 250VAC 20x5mm fast
blow glass fuses.
There is a battery fuse fitted. This is a T8AH 250VAC
20x5 mm ceramic anti-surge fuse.
2.4.7 Siting Considerations
The fastenings are not included in the kit, so they will need
to be externally sourced. When specifying the fastenings
(such as the screw size), take into account the type of wall
and the weight of the assembled housing. The size of the
batteries will have a large bearing on the weight of the units
(see 2.4 “Collected Specifications” on page 11).
The control panel is designed for wall mounting. Typically
screws and rawlplugs in drilled holes will be used. The
screw hole positions are shown in Fig. 1: “Overall and Fixing
Dimensions – FireClass Lite” on page 7 .
2.4.8 Environmental Stipulations
The control panel is not weatherproof. Check that the loca-
tion is indoors, dry and free from excessive dust. Also check
that location fulfils the temperature and humidity stipula-
tions shown in Table 8: “Temperature and Humidity Stipu-
lations”.
2.4.9 EMC
Product family standard EN50130-4 in respect of Con-
ducted Disturbances, Radiated Immunity, Electrostatic Dis-
charge, Fast Transients and Slow High Energy
EN 61000-6-3 for Emissions.
2.5 Component Module
Descriptions
The following sections detail the standard modules fitted to
an FireClass Lite control panel or repeater.
2.5.1 Central Processing Unit
The Central Processing Unit (CPU800 board) contains the
main processor and memory. It is mounted to the FIM801
Lite board.
2.5.2 Field Interface Module (FIM)
The FIM801 Lite provides all the inputs and outputs of the
control panel. Refer to Fig 4 for FIM Board connections.
Rail Voltage Range
28 VVout(max)=28.6 V (Tamb=—10C, Iout=0).
Vout(min)=20 V(Tamb=50 C), Iout=2.5 A
(BAQ60T24).
Output ripple: 150 mV p-p maximum at maxi-
mum load
BAQ60T24: 0-2.5 A, Imaxb=2.5 A,
Imaxa=1.9 A (12A-h Battery charging at C/20
rate)
Maximum current available on the 28 V rail
(I(28)) in either condition, may be calculated from
the following formula:-
I(28)=I(max)-0.211*I(5)-1.568*I(40)
Where:
I(max)=Imaxa or Imaxb i.e. whichever is being
considered
I(5)=Current drawn from 5 V rail
I(40)=Current drawn from 40 V rail
5 V Output voltage: 4.85 V-5.25 V @ 50m A to
1.5 A. Minimum load=50 mA.
Output ripple: 150 mV p-p maximum.
40 V Output voltage: 39.75 V-40.2 V @ 0 to 1.25 A.
Output ripple: <40 mV p-p 1-10 KHz acceptable
level increasing 6 dB/octave either side.
