Cabinet installation
Before you begin
• Remove the front cover
• Remove cable knockouts from the top, bottom, and rear of the cabinet as
required
Where to install the cabinet
Make sure the installation location is free from construction dust and debris, and
immune to extreme temperature ranges and humidity (see “Chapter 5
Technical specifications” on page 49 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.

Connections
WARNING: Do not make any control panel or system connections while the control
panel is connected to the mains power supply.
Cabling requirements
Recommended cable
Recommended cables for your fire system are shown in the table below.
WARNING: Failure to use the recommended cable may impact system performance.
Table 2: Recommended cables
Cable Cable description Maximum cable length
Mains cable 3 x 1.5 mm N/A
Zone circuit cable (mixed zone) Twisted-pair (max. 40 Ω/ 500 nF) 2 km
Zone circuit cable (automatic or
manual zones)
Twisted-pair (max. 55 Ω/ 500 nF) 2 km
Securing cables
Use 20 mm cable glands to ensure clean and secure connections at the control panel
cabinet. All cables should be fed through the cable guides in the cabinet housing to
eliminate movement.

Overview of fire system connections
Figure 4: Overview of fire system connections
Connecting zones and zone devices
Connecting zones
Connect zone wires as shown in Figure 4 above. Line resistance is shown in the table
below.
Zone type Line resistance
Mixed (automatic and manual) Max. 40 Ω
Automatic Max. 55 Ω
Manual Max. 55 Ω
Note: The default zone detection settings for each operating mode can be found in
Appendix A “Configuration presets” on page 59. To change the zone detection setting,
see “Advanced configuration” on page 31.
Terminating zones
Each zone circuit requires a 4.7 kΩend-of-line resistor for termination. If a zone is not
used, the 4.7 kΩend-of-line resistor must be installed across the unused zone
terminals.
Note: For BS 5839-1 the default zone configuration is active end-of-line and an active
end-of-line module must be installed instead of an end-of-line resistor. Unused zones
must be terminated with an active end-of-line module or configured as passive end-
of-line and terminated with a 4.7 kΩend-of-line resistor as described above.

Chapter 2: Installation
10 Kilsen KFP-CF Series Installation Manual
Connecting detectors
Connect detectors as shown in Figure 4 on page 9. Each zone circuit can support up
to 20 detectors.
Connecting manual call points
Connect manual call points in parallel, as shown in Figure 4 on page 9. Each zone
circuit can support up to 32 manual call points.
Manual call points must have a resistance installed in series with the normally open
(NO) contact to avoid a short-circuit and to allow the control panel to identify the
origin of the alarm (automatic or manual).
The resistance required will depend on the zone type as shown below.
Zone type Manual call point resistance
Mixed 100 Ωper 2 W
Manual 100 Ωto 470 Ωper 2 W
Note: The default zone detection settings for each operating mode can be found in
Appendix A “Configuration presets” on page 59. To change the zone detection setting,
see “Advanced configuration” on page 31.
Connecting inputs
Input functionality
Each control panel has two inputs, marked INPUT1 and INPUT2. These circuits are
connected as normally open and activated when closed.
The function of INPUT1 is defined by the panel operating mode. See Table 3 below.
Table 3: Input functionality for inputs 1 and 2

NBN S21-100 Remote reset Delays off
NEN 2535 Fire routing inhibit delay Delays off
Note: INPUT1 is not used in two-zone control panels operating EN 54-2 Scandinavia mode.
Connecting inputs
Connect input switches to INPUT1 and INPUT2, as shown in Figure 4 on page 9. The
circuit should have a maximum resistance of 100 Ω(including any cable resistance).

Connecting outputs
Output functionality
Control panels have the following outputs:
• Two-zone control panels have two outputs, marked OUT1 and OUT2.
• Four- and eight-zone control panels have four outputs, marked OUT1, OUT2,
OUT3, and OUT4.
The function of each output is defined by the panel operating mode. See Table 4
below. All outputs are overload protected.

Output termination
All outputs require a 15 kΩend-of-line resistor for termination. If an output is not
used, the 15 kΩend-of-line resistor must be installed across the unused output
terminals.
Output polarity
All outputs are polarity sensitive. Observe polarity or install a 1N4007 diode to avoid
inverted activation issues.
Connecting the sounders
Depending on the operating mode, up to four sounder circuits can be connected. See
Table 4 above.
The sounder outputs are powered and supply −15 VDC in standby and +24 VDC
(nominal value) in alarm.
The maximum current consumption for each sounder circuit is shown below.
Two- and four-zone control panels 250 mA
Eight-zone control panel 500 mA
The sounder outputs are supervised for short circuit and open circuit.

The fire routing outputs are supervised for short circuit and open circuit.
Note: Fire routing in EN 54-2 operating modes makes no distinction between
automatic and manual alarms.
Connecting the mains power supply
WARNING: Connect the mains power supply before connecting the batteries.
The control panel can be operated at 110 VAC / 60 Hz or 240 VAC / 50 Hz
(+10%/−15%).
Mains power should be sourced directly from a separate circuit breaker in the
building electrical supply distribution board. This circuit should be clearly marked,
have a bipolar disconnect device, and only be used for fire detection equipment.
Feed all mains cables through the appropriate cable knockouts and connect them to
the fuse terminal block as shown in Figure 5 below.
Keep mains cables separate from other cabling to avoid potential short circuits and
interference. Always secure mains cables to the cabinet to prevent movement.

Kilsen KFP-CF Series Installation Manual 13
Selecting 115 or 230 VAC operation
WARNING: An incorrect power setting can destroy the power supply.
Power switching for 115 or 230 VAC operation is automatic for two- and four-zone
control panels and no configuration is required.
For eight-zone control panels, the default power setting is 230 VAC. For 115 VAC
operation, use a small screwdriver to change the power setting switch, located on the
side of the power supply unit, as shown in Figure 6 below.
WARNING: Always disconnect the control panel from the mains supply before
changing the power setting.
Figure 6: Selecting 115 or 230 VAC operation

Chapter 2: Installation
14 Kilsen KFP-CF Series Installation Manual
Connecting the batteries
The control panel requires two 12 V, 7.2 or 12 Ah rechargeable, sealed, lead-acid
batteries (see “Compatible batteries” on page 47).
Batteries must be installed in series, at the base of the control panel cabinet. Use the
battery lead and bridge provided and connect batteries to the BATT connector on the
control panel PCB, as shown below. Polarity must be observed.
Note: If the control panel indicates a Supply Fault, then the batteries may need to be
replaced. See “Battery maintenance” on page 47.
Figure 7: Connecting the batteries
Caution: No other equipment may be connected to the BATT connector.
Other connections
Connecting auxiliary equipment
Connect the auxiliary equipment to 24 AUX as shown in Figure 4 on page 9. The
24 VDC auxiliary output is supervised for short circuit and voltage output.
Connecting alarm and fault relays
Connect the alarm and fault equipment to the ALARM and FAULT relays.
Each potential-free relay output will be activated in an alarm or fault situation
respectively. The fault relay output is powered when there is no fault.
The maximum contact rating for each relay circuit is 2 A / 30 VDC.
