General installation and connection guidelines
Where to install the control panel
Make sure the installation location is free from construction dust and debris, and
immune to extreme temperature ranges and humidity (see “Technical specifications”
on page 32 for more information on the operating temperature and relative humidity
specifications).
Allow for enough floor and wall space so the panel can be installed and serviced
without any obstructions. The cabinet should be mounted so that the user interface is
at eye level.
Recommended cables
Recommended cables for your fire system are shown in the table below. For more
detailed information on cable characteristics and requirements see “Appendix D:
Cable specifications” on page 39.
WARNING: Failure to use the recommended cable may impact system performance.
Table 1: Recommended cables
Cable Cable description Maximum cable length
Mains cable 3 x 1.5 mm N/A
Loop cable Shielded, twisted pair cable 2 km
RS485 network cable CAT5 800 m
Fibre optic network cable ST duplex 50/125, 62.5/125, or
100/140
1.7 km (see note below)
LON network cable CAT5 1.5 km
RS232 serial communication
cable

Note: Under ideal conditions the maximum distance between nodes is 1.7 km, but an
optical power budget calculation should be performed to determine the correct
maximum distance for each site.
Installing or replacing control panel modules
WARNING: Always back up site data before installing or replacing modules.
When control panel modules are replaced or additional modules installed, the control
panel automatically reconfigures and all site data is lost. Always back up site data
before installing or replacing modules.

Connecting the LC1502 loop module
The LC1502 loop module allows for the connection of up to two Class A loops or up to
four Class B loops.
The maximum number of loop modules that can be installed will depend on the
control panel model – see “Appendix C: Maximum zones and loops” on page 38 for
more information.
A calculation should be performed for each loop to ensure that the minimum
required loop voltage is maintained for the expected load conditions.
The LC1502 module is located in the cabinet box, between the PS1200N module and
the SD2000 (or VDS2000) module.

Note: For EN 54 compliance an isolator must be installed after every 32 devices.
Loop Class configuration
Configure the loop Class using jumpers A and B on the loop module (Figure 4 above).
All three A/B jumpers must be configured for each loop module. When more than one
loop module is installed jumper configuration must be the same for all modules.
• Select jumper A for up to two Class A loops for each loop module
• Select jumper B for up to four Class B loops for each loop module

Connecting the NC2011 and NC2051 network modules
The NC2011 and NC2051 network modules enable a wide range of network
topologies when networking 1200C-2000C control panels and repeaters.
The NC2011 and NC2051 modules are located on the inside of the control panel door
(top layer) and connected to the FC1200N or FC2012 host CPU module.
General information
All network nodes use the ARCNET protocol. Every node on the network must have a
network module installed.
Where cabling runs between buildings or in high-noise or harsh environments a fibre-
optic network should be used.

Connecting the LON2000 serial communication module
The LON2000 serial communication module allows serial communication between
1200C-2000C series addressable control panels and 700 series conventional control
panels. It cannot be used with repeaters.
The module is installed onto the P13, 20-PIN male connector of the FC1200N or
FC2012 host CPU module located on the inside of the control panel door.

Connecting the ZE2016 and ZE2064 zone LED modules
The ZE2016 and ZE2064 zonle LED modules are used to increase the number of
visible zones for 1200C and 2000C control panels.
The maximum number of zone modules that can be installed will depend on the
control panel model – see “Appendix C: Maximum zones and loops” on page 38 for
more information.
The ZE2016 and ZE2064 modules are located on the inside of the control panel door
and are connected to the HDIS2000N or HDIS2000-F LED display module.
Caution: The ZE2016 and ZE2064 zone LED modules must ntot be installed together
in the same control panel.
