ACCESS LEVEL 1 - General User
Unless otherwise indicated, in order to enable the operation of a particular switch, either a valid User or Programming
Access Code is required.
The only exceptions are the following:
1- LampTest Switch
2- Queue Review Switches( Fire, Fault, Test and Disabled)
3- Delays Active Switch. During an alarm condition and while delays are active.
By entering a valid User Access Code (Factory default ppppp), the authorized user gains access to the operation
of all switches at the front of the panel display. Authorized User Access also grants the possibility of enabling or
disabling zones.
ACCESS LEVEL 2 - Authorized User Controls
Access to this level is accomplished by the introduction of a code using the panel keypad.The user code is factory set to
pppppand after entering each digit in turn, press OK to confirm entry.
INTERNAL BUZZER SILENCE
The occurrence of any new fire or fault condition will initiate the operation of the internal buzzer. By pressing this
switch, the operation of the buzzer will be stopped until a new fire or fault appears on the system.
ALARM SILENCE/RESOUND
Activates all sounders. A second press deactivates all sounders.The button LED (red) is illuminated whilst the sounders
are activated.
SOUNDERS ENABLE/DISABLE
Pressing this button will enable/disable all conventional sounder circuits .
DELAYS ACTIVE
Pressing this button will activate any preprogrammed delays. The yellow LED associated with this button and the
general disablements LED will both be lit. A second press of this button will deactivate the delays and the LED. Under
any fire condition the delays will be activated. If during the course of these delays, at access level 1(General User - code
entry not required), this button is pressed, the delays will be overridden and the sounders and together with any other
fire indicating equipment, will be activated.
USER & INSTALLER ACCESS CODES
To enter both codes use the arrow keys upqand when finished press ENTER.
Access Level 2 - Press ENTER, then Authorized User Access Code pppppand then press ENTER to confirm entry.
Access Level 3 - Press ENTER, then Installer Access Code pqpqpand then press ENTER to confirm entry

There should only be one conventional zone per shielded cable.
Conventional Detection Zones and conventional sounders should not run in the same shielded cable.
If the system requires one or more repeaters, it will be necessary to use a four core data cable to create a data loop
between the panel and the repeater. Alternatively, it is possible to use multi-mode dual-core fibre-optic cable or a TCP/IP
connection for the same purpose.
Data loop cable should be RS422/485 grade data cable, eg:
Signal cables for RS485 Communication Links (twisted pair) to Repeater panels

LIMITATIONS
A fire alarm system can provide early warning of a developing fire but it does not assure protection against damage or
loss resulting from a fire. The fire alarm system should be designed and installed in accordance with all relevant
regulations and codes of practice. To ensure maximum protection the system should be regularly tested and inspected
by qualified fire alarm installation personnel. Inspection and testing should be carried out in accordance with the
appropriate local standards.
Conventional Zones, Conventional Sounders and Data Loops
INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING MANUAL - 05/2016
ORION PLUS - CONVENTIONAL FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL

DEFINITIONS
Cable form A connecting lead.Typically a length of flat cable with connectors at both ends.
ConventionalSounder A Conventional Sounder is an audible output device that is connected to the Conventional
Sounder outputs on the Panel.
Data Loop This may take the form of RS485, a fibre optic link or by TCP/IP. It provides communications
between the Panel and Repeaters.
Detector Any type of fire sensor (heat, smoke) that is connected to a zone.
Device A detector, sounder, interface module or call-point connected to a zone.
Evacuate A system state where all sounders are activated simultaneously. Pressing SOUND ALARMS will
generate an evacuate condition.
Fibre Optic Link A connection method for data that uses light instead of electrical signals.The connection is made
using fibre optic cables rather than copper electrical cables. Fibre optic signals can travel far
greater distances than electrical signals with less risk of electromagnetic interference.
Flash Non-volatile memory inside the panel used to store the program and the customer site data. Flash
data storage is very robust and needs no power at all to retain the data.
Local Sounder A local conventional sounder is an audible output device (bell or sounder) that is connected to the
local bell output on the panel.
NVRAM Non-volatile Random Access Memory. Any information stored in this memory will not be cleared
when power is removed from the system.
PCB Printed Circuit Board.
Repeater A Repeater is a remote terminal to the Panel. Everything that is displayed on the Panel, with the
exception of zonal LEDs, is also displayed on the Repeater. Any LEDs illuminated on the Panel are
illuminated on the Repeater. Key presses at the Repeater are sent directly to the Panel, as if the
input were actually occurring at the Panel.
The System The Panel, Repeaters and all devices.
Zone A situational group of devices. A Zone can consist of a collection of any of the devices connected
to the system.

INTRODUCTION
This section covers the physical installation of the system. It primarily focuses on the parts that are required and
how they should be connected together. Do not connect the mains power or the batteries at this stage;
commissioning the system is covered in the next section of this manual. Installation should always be
performed in accordance with a system plan.
PANEL
The control panel should be located where access to the internal components is not restricted and where the
unit is not exposed to high levels of temperature, moisture, vibration and shock.
Any metal swarf could damage the PCBs if it is still present when the panel is powered up so it is recommended
that all PCBs are removed from the box whilst the box is being installed. Make a note of the positions of the PCBs
before removal.
Mains Power connection
The panel must be earthed.The LIVE connection must be made to the fused input on the power supply module.
This input will also have a BLACK or BROWN wire leading into the power supply unit.
The connector with a BLUE wire leading into the power supply unit is the NEUTRAL.
Other Panel connections
These are detailed in the relevant following sections. Most connections are made from the ORION PLUS
mainboard.
REPEATERS
Repeaters are installed in a similar manner to the Panel. Each ORION PLUS panel can supply a maximum of 4
Repeaters.
The Repeater should be located where access to the internal components is not restricted and where the unit is
not exposed to high levels of moisture, vibration and shock.
Avoid placing the Repeater in direct sunlight as this may impair reading of the LCD display.
Any metal swarf could damage the PCBs if it is still present when the Repeater is powered up so it is
recommended that all PCBs are removed from the box whilst the box is being installed. Make a note of the
positions of the PCBs before removal.
WARNING - observe ESD precautions when handling the PCBs.

DATA LOOPS
If the system includes repeaters to allow remote viewing and control of the system, an RS422/485, Fibre Optic
orTCP/IP connection may be used.
For redundancy in the case of RS422/485 and Fibre Optic this can be wired in the form of a Loop, thus
protecting the Data Loop from interruptions or short circuits by creating a bi-directional communications
flow. If the panel loses communications with the repeater it will try via the opposite path.
RS422/485 may be used for distances of up to 1200 m. For longer distances (up to 4,5km) Fibre Optic Data
connections should be used.
