Important Safety Notes
competent person.
This equipment must have an Earth Connection.
A basic knowledge and training in the installation of Fire Detection systems is assumed.
The Fire Detection system should be designed by a suitably qualified person with reference to the Local
Regulations and Guidance from the fire Officer where applicable.
This equipment must only be installed and maintained by a suitably qualified and technically
Mounting the Panel
The ORION housing is designed for either surface or semi-recessed mounting. Cable entry points are
provided at the top and back of the housing. Do not drill additional holes as cables could then interfere with
the PCB or standby battery position. Maintain separation between the incoming 230 volt mains cable and
the low voltage detector and sounder cabling.
The panel should be fixed to the wall using the 4 mounting holes provided and No 8-10 countersunk screws.
Any dust created during the fixing process must be kept out of the control panel and care must be taken not
to damage any wiring or components.

SounderCircuitWiring
AuxiliaryInputWiring
There are two conventional sounder circuits available on the Orion. The maximum current available for
sounders is (500 mA) per circuit. All sounders must be polarized, non-polarized sounders will indicate a
faultonthesoundercircuit.
Anendoflineresistor(10KOhm)whichissuppliedwiththepanel,mustbeinsertedinthelastsounderfor
cable monitoring. If a sounder circuit is not used, the EOL resistor should be fitted in the control panel
sounderoutput.
The sounder circuits are protected against short circuits, the electronic fuse will reset when the short
circuitisremovedandthecontrolpanelisreset.
The wiring for each sounder circuit should be terminated in their respective terminals and the cable
screensconnectedtoearth.
Typicalsoundercircuitwiringdiagram:
There are three remote activation inputs. All remote inputs are activated using a voltage free dry contact
likearelay.
Reset:The closure of acontact atthis input willcause thepanel toreset. Inorder toreapplya reset to the
panel,contacthastobereleasedandreapplied.Pulseaction.
AuxiliaryInputs1and2arenon-Latchinginputswiththefollowingfunctions:
1º Class Change/Evacuate: Activates sounders immediately when 0V is applied via a voltage free
contact. Sounders active LED is illuminated, Sounders continue to operate until the input is removed.
PressingtheSilencebuttonwillstopthesounders.
2º Remote Day/Night Operation: Allows switching between Day and Night operation from a remote
locationorwithtimeclocketc.
In the Active state (contact closed), programmed delays are active (Day operation) and the delays active
LEDisilluminated.
In the Normal state, programmed delays are ignored (Night operation) and the Delays active LED is
extinguished.
The wiring for each auxiliary input should be terminated in their respective terminals and the cable
screensconnectedtoearth.

ConnectingthePanel
Beforeconnectingzoneorsoundercables,powerup thecontrolpanelwiththeActiveEOLconnectedtothe
zone inputsandthe EOLresistors forthesounder linesconnected.Connect mains and battery power; there
shouldbenofaultindications.
The mains supply should be routed away from the other cables and enter the control panel adjacent to the
mainsterminalblock.
WiringtotheMainssupplyshouldonlybeundertakenbyasuitablyqualifiedandcompetentperson.
Depending on panel load and standby requirements, two 12 volt valve regulated lead acid batteries of
capacity up to 7Ah may be fitted in the housing. The batteries should be wired in series (24 V) using the
suppliedlink.Takecarenottoshortcircuitthebatteryterminals.
Check zone and sounder wiring for continuity. Short or open circuit indications must be rectified before
connecting to the control panel. All cable testing must be carried out with a Multi meter….NEVER use a
Meggerwhendevicesareconnected.
Induced voltage higherthan 1Volt indicates possiblecable problems or bad earth connection and must be
rectifiedbeforeconnection.
Transfer Active EOL modules and EOL resistors to the last device on Detection and sounder circuits and
connectthecablestotheirrespectiveterminalsinthecontrolpanel.SeeDiagrambelow.
