Installation
Notes
The power-up of the control panel
and commissioning of the system is
done by the Servicing organisation.
Installation
It is recommended that the installer follow
the general requirements of
BS 5839 : Part 1 : 2013, which is the code
of practice relating to fire detection and
alarm systems for buildings. The installer
must follow the relevant parts of
BS7671 : 2008 Requirements for
Electrical installations, IEE wiring
regulations 17th edition if installation is in
the United Kingdom.
Second fix
To prevent the possibility of damage
or dirt degrading the performance
or appearance of the products, the
installation of second fix items should be
delayed until all major building work in the
area is complete.
The installation of all
outstanding parts and the
panel power up is usually
carried out during system
commissioning.
Fixture and fittings
It is the installers responsibility to provide
adequate fixtures and fittings for the type
of construction surface onto which a
product is to be installed, whilst utilising
the fixing points on the respective
product. As an aid to this decision, the
weight and overall size of each full
assembly together with implications on
cable entries and routing should be taken
into consideration.
All these procedures
assume that the cable,
gland, steel box (BESA
box) and other related
accessories are provided
by the installer.
As fitted drawings
The installer should acquire site specific
information from the interested parties,
for details on the location of products
for installation. The acquired information
together with this guide and the relevant
standards should be used to assist the
work.
Each product assembly can be identified
from its package label. The contents of
all packages should be checked for any
discrepancies.
Cable type and routing
Appropriate attention must be given
to ensure the correct cable type is
installed in accordance with ‘as fitted
drawings’, site specific information and
recommendations of
BS 5839 Part 1 : 2013. The cables must
be installed using cable manufacturers
recommended fixing and accessories,
see list of approved cables.
Fire sensor covers
Each fire sensor may be supplied with a
plastic dust cover. If supplied, the cover
must be fitted to prevent dust and dirt
from the building work contaminating the
fire sensor.

5
Vigilon COMPACT fire system
Earth continuity
All earth connection points should
be clean to provide a good electrical
conductivity path. To maintain the earth
continuity: all earth leads and fittings
provided should be installed. The loop
cable screen must be continued through
each system device on the loop circuit,
whether the earth is connected to the
device or not.
Do not use any part of
building structure for
earthing.
Some of the system products having
metal enclosures have zinc coating
around the cable termination points,
the coating provides a good electrical
conductivity path for cable earth
termination. The zinc coating on metal
enclosures should not be damaged. Any
damage will expose bare metal, which
can corrode and make a poor earth
connection.
Power supply
The power to the system is derived from
the mains and battery supplies. Before
removal of a card or disconnection of
cable from the panel ensure both mains
and battery supplies are disconnected.
Mains supply
Mains supply to any fire alarm control
and indicating equipment must be via
an unswitched 5A fused spur unit. A
disconnect device must be provided to
disconnect both poles and must have a
minimum gap of 3mm. The disconnect
device should be available as part of the
building installation and must be easily
accessible after installation is complete.
All mains powered
equipment must be
earthed.
Local Manual Call Point
To comply with the requirements of
EN54-2 : 1997 a conventional manual call
point must be installed near the Control
panel. The call point must be wired to the
monitored line input of the control panel.
During commissioning of the system the
Command Build No 250 associated with
the monitored line input must be set up to
evacuate all sectors without delay.
Failure to install and
configure a local manual
call point in the manner
described above when
delays are set up on the
system will result in the
panel not complying to
EN54-2 : 1997.

Vigilon COMPACT fire system
System wiring
If instructed, the installer may need to terminate as well as connect the cables to the
appropriate terminal blocks.
Cable separation
Where the outgoing and return cables of a loop circuit covers more than the equivalent
of one zone they must not run together, for example, either close to the Control Panel
or in a service duct. There should be as much physical separation as possible between
the cables and the mechanical protection of the cable should be to a particularly high
standard. This is to minimise the risk of accidental damage to both cables.
Lightning protection
Where a loop cable is mounted to an external wall or between two buildings then
consideration should be given to the use of lightning protection devices.

Requirements of cables
Cables
Requirements of cables
The British Standard
BS 5839 Part 1 : 2013 Code of
practice for system design, installation,
commissioning and maintenance states
the requirements for standard and fire
resisting cables in Clause 26.2 section d
& e.
“d) Standard fire resisting cables should
meet PH 30 classification when tested in
accordance with EN50200 and maintain
circuit integrity if exposed to the following
test:
- a sample of the cable is simultaneously
exposed to flame at a temperature of
830ºC - 0+40ºC and mechanical shock
for 15min, followed by simultaneous
exposure to water spray and mechanical
shock for a further 15min.
e) Enhanced fire resisting cables should
meet the PH120 classification when
tested in accordance with EN 50200 and
maintain circuit integrity if exposed to the
following test:
- a single sample of the cable is
simultaneously exposed to flame at a
temperature of 930ºC - 0+40ºC and
mechanical shock for a period of 60min,
followed by simultaneous exposure to
water spray and mechanical shock for a
further 60min.”
The cables listed in this manual are
those that have been tested/assessed
for EMC compliance with the system
products.
Mains Supply cable
The mains supply cable must be a
standard fire resisting type and should
meet PH30 classification, such as
standard or enhanced cable.

Vigilon COMPACT fire system
Loop cables
There is a maximum limit
of 2Km loop cable usage
allowed per loop circuit.
This maximum limit is the
sum of the cable used on
main loop circuit, spurs
off main loop circuit, plus
cable runs to all input
/ output lines off loop
powered interface units
installed on the same loop.
There is a further
maximum limit of 100m
cable run allowed per
input/output line off loop
powered interface unit.
The device loop cable carries both data
and power, therefore its selection is
important. Note the following:
In countries where the European
EMC directive is in force, only EMC
Compliant cables are to be used.
The loop cable usage must not
exceed 2Km. This includes the cable
used on main loop and spur circuits.
Single pair cable must be used. It is
NOT permissible to run mixed loops
or outgoing and return pairs in a
multi core cable, due to inadequate
separation and possible electrical
interference problems.
Each core of the loop cable must be
1.5mm2cross section area.
the cable screen must be capable of
being earthed at each system device
(outstation).
Red is the preferred cover sheath for
fire applications.
The specified loop circuit cables are
also suitable for wiring master alarm,
auxiliary relay, input/output lines and
mains supply.

screening. Under certain
environmental conditions galvanic
action may take place between
the aluminium and the drain wire.
This will severely degrade EMC
performance as the foil to drain wire
impedance will increase. Armoured
variants of these can also be used
for wiring a loop circuit.

Post March 2014 Loop Card
Loop circuit design
It is important that redundancy is built into the system to
accommodate for future expansions and change of area usage in the
protected premises.
The number of devices on a loop circuit can be limited by the total number of
addresses available, the electrical load on the circuit, the maximum cable length and
other geographical considerations.
A loop circuit must not cover more than 10,000m2of floor area of a protected site
In total a maximum of 200 devices are allowed per loop circuit.
Loop Card
Post March 2014 Loop Card
The panel is supplied with one Post March 2014 Loop Card (COMPACT-LPC-EN). If
more than one loop is required then acquire additional card for the second loop.
Condition of use
The Loop Card (COMPACT-LPC-EN) must never be fitted as a
replacement card in a Vigilon Compact panel where 3400 devices are
installed on its loop circuits.
Up to 2Km loop length is possible with S4 and S3 Mark 2 devices installed on a
loop circuit. In this case a rough method for calculating the loop load and loop cable
length is shown in the leaflet for the loop card. For a precise loop load and battery
standby calculation use the ‘Battery Standby and Loop load calculator’ tool.
Up to 1Km loop length is possible with 34000 devices or a mix of 34000, S4 and S3
devices installed on a loop circuit. Again for precise loop load and battery standby
calculation use the ‘Battery Standby and Loop load calculator’ tool.
Battery Standby and Loop load calculator tool
The ‘Battery standby and loop load calculator’ tool can be downloaded from
www.gentexpert.co.uk website by registered users.
Loop Cable length
The loop cable length is defined as the sum of the length of cable used on the main
loop plus that used on all the spur circuits off the main loop having system devices.
Loop device load and length calculations for 2Km loop card
There can be up to 200 devices on a loop cable of up to 2Km length when using Loop
Card (COMPACT-LPC-EN), where both device count and cable length are dictated by
the number of alarm devices on the loop and how they are positioned, distributed or
lumped together.

Where the alarm load is distributed along the entire length of the loop using:
1.5mm² cable, the loop length can be up to 2Km with up to 200 devices
2.5mm² cable, the loop length can be up to 2.5Km with up to 200 devices.
Lumped alarm device load
If the alarm devices are lumped together on a loop circuit then there is a trade off
between the number of alarm devices and loop cable length possible, see also loop
card leaflet which can be downloaded by registered users from www.gentexpert.co.uk.
Vigilon Loop Diagnostic tool
The Vigilon Loop Diagnostic Tool can be used to diagnose loop circuits driven by Post
March 2014 Loop Cards (COMPACT-LPC-EN) fitted in the panel, this is normally done
during commissioning of the system.
