Installation Precautions
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:
Do not attempt to install, service, or operate this unit until this manual is read and understood.
This equipment must be installed in accordance with these instructions and the appropriate
national, regional and local regulations specific to the country and location of the installation.
Consult with the appropriate Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for confirmation of the
requirements.
The FACP shall only be installed and serviced by specially trained engineers.
Disconnect all sources of power before servicing. Control unit may be damaged by removing
and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized.
Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling, filing, reaming, or punching of the
enclosure. When possible, make all cable entries from the sides or rear. Before making
modifications, verify that they will not interfere with batteries and printed circuit board location.

2.4.2 Using an Active End of Line Unit
If an active end of line unit (AEOL) is used at the end of the loop, then the detectors and manual
call points can be connected at any position. Ensure the detector base is fittedwith a diode to keep
the cable continuity in case any detector is removed, as shown in Fig. 2-4.

Chapter 3 System Setup
3.1 Setting Access Levels
The FACP provides three access levels:
Level 1, for anybody to silence the buzzer by pressing Mute/ACK key.
Level 2, for person on duty to disable, test, reset the panel, silence the sounders (using
Silence/Resound key) and evacuate the building.
Level 3, for special service engineer to turn on or off the FACP and program output
modes.
3.1.1 Setting Access Level 1
Turning Control Enable lock “OFF”shown as in Fig. 3-1, the FACP is set to access level 1. “1”of
SW2 on control board should be at OFF (LEVEL 3) position as shown in Fig. 3-2. SW2 and SW3
are on the control board shown in Fig. 1-2.

(White cell indicates the position of switch)
3.1.2 Setting Access Level 2
Turning Control Enable lock “ON”shown as in Fig. 3-3, the FACP is set to access level 2. “1”of
SW2 should be at OFF position as shown in Fig. 3-2.
Fig. 3-3
3.1.3 Setting Access Level 3
If “1”of SW2 (Level 3) is set to ON position as shown in Fig. 3-4, whichever position the Control
Enable lock is, the FACP is set to access level 3.

3.2 Setting Sounder/Alarm Output
4 sounder outputs and 1 alarm output can be set through Pins (Pins X1, X2, X3, X4 and X5 is
respectively corresponded to sounder output of zone 1 to 4 and alarm output ) on the control board
to one of the three types including voltage output, normally open contact output or normally closed
contact output. The default setting is voltage output.
3.2.1 Example for Setting Voltage Output
Connecting “2”with “3”and “5”with “6”of Pin X1 using jumpers will set Sounder 1 as voltage
output, refer to Fig. 3-5.
Fig. 3-5
3.2.2 Example for Setting Normally Open Output
Connecting “1”with “2”and “4”with “5”of Pin X3 using jumpers will set Sounder 3 as normally
open contact output, refer to Fig. 3-5.
3.2.3 Example for Setting Normally Closed Output
Connecting “1”with “2”and “3”with “4”of X5 using jumpers will set Alarm Output as normally
closed contact output, refer to Fig. 3-5.
Please refer to Table 3-1 for detailed settings for sounder output and alarm output.

3.3 Disablement of a Zone or Output
3.3.1 Use of Disablement Function
In case there is any fault with a detection zone or a sounder/alarm output, it can be disabled so
that it does not affect normal operation of other zones. After the fault is removed, the disabled
detection zone or output can be enabled again. This operation applies to the 16 detection zones, 4
sounder outputs, and 1 fire alarm output.
The setting operation can be indicated by Disable/Enable key & indicator, Disable indicator and
zone indicators. There are instructions for disablement operation on the front panel.
3.3.2 Operation Steps
1 Enter Access Level 2 as described in Section 3.1.2.
2 Pressing Disable/Enable key, Disable/Enable LED illuminates steadily and the amber LED of
Zone 1 starts flashing to show Zone 1 is selected for disablement setup. Common Fault LED
will indicate a system fault condition. Other indicators, except for the above mentioned LEDs,
