3.2 Components
3.2.1 Standard Components
A standard FACP consists of main board, loop interface board, power supply, display
area, and zone indication and manual intervention panel (ZCP).
Main board
Main board is the core of the FACP, which contains CPU and interfaces to other
main parts and optional parts.
Loop interface board
This is the signal interface of the FACP, containing ports for communication,
detection, fire alarm output and fault output etc. The loop interface board connects
field devices and the FACP into a complete fire alarm system.
Power supply
It provides power to the main board, loop interface board and printer. Its backup
feature ensures that devices registered during commission will not be lost in case
of power fault.
Display area
This part is used to indicate and display different status of the system, and enables
relative operations through keypad (browsing, programming, printing and etc).
Zone indication and manual intervention panel (ZCP)
The ZCP can indicate fire alarm, fault/disable state of corresponding devices, and
start and stop them accordingly.
3.2.2 Optional Units
P-9901 Printer
It is a built-in micro printer. With dot matrix printing it can print 96 kinds of ASCII
code characters (capital or lower case of Latin letters, figures and symbols), 128
coded non-standard characters and chart symbol (some Chinese characters,
Greek letters, block symbol etc.), and 16 code characters (6×7 dot) which can be
defined by the user through programming, and replace any code font by command,
so as to print characters of different language.
Loop board
The loop board is used as the second Class A detection interface for connecting more
addressable devices. The construction of the loop board is shown in Fig. 3-5.

5 Loop output shut-down indicator HL2, red. It illuminates when the loop output is
shut down.
6 Communication indicator HL3, red. It illuminates when communicating with the
main board.
Communication card
GST200-2 Intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) provides a multi-functional
communication port, connecting with network cards to realize networking among
GST series FACPs, to form urban fire alarm supervisory network through public
telephone network and to fulfill graphic supervision by connecting with Graphic
Monitor Center (GMC) system at the control center of buildings. The FACP
monitors the running of network cards in real time so that the card can work after
being inserted.
GST200-2 provides two kinds of network cards: Local Network Card (RS485 card)
and Monitor & Control Card (RS232 card). Their structures are shown in Fig. 3-6.

5. 20P data cable connecting with main board.
6. Standard RS232 interface connecting with GMC.
Note: You need to include an RS232 card in your first order of GST200-2 FACP.
Only with this card, device definition and C&E equations can be downloaded
from PC.
3.3 Peripheral Devices
3.3.1 A Series of Intelligent Fire Detectors
GST200-2 can connect with a series of fire detectors, such as I-9102, I-9103, and
I-9105R. The detectors mounted in the protected area transmit monitoring message to
the FACP through Class A loop. Every detector has its own address with which the
FACP can supervise the information of alarm, fault, and normal status of the detectors.
3.3.2 Modules
GST200-2 can connect with I-9300 Addressable Input Module and I-9301 Addressable
Single I/O Module. I-9300 module is used for receiving normally open digital signal from
fire protection devices and transmitting the signal back to the fire alarm control panel.
I-9301 module is for connecting fire protection devices that need to be controlled by the
FACP, such as smoke valve, fresh air valve, and damper valve. It can also receive
answer signal from these devices.
3.3.3 Loop Isolator
Loop Isolator can remove the shorted part of loop from the whole system to ensure
normal operation of other devices and to ascertain the location of the part in fault. After
the fault is repaired, the loop isolator can automatically reset the removed part into the
system.
3.3.4 Manual Call Points
A series of manual call points (such as I-9202) can be connected to the loop of
GST200-2. When fire is confirmed manually, pressing the glass on the MCP, alarm
signal can be sent to the FACP. After receiving the alarm signal, the FACP will show the
number and location of the MCP, and sound alarm.
3.3.5 Sounder Strobes

GST200-2 Intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel
Installation and Operation Manual
Page 14
Addressable sounder strobe is a kind of audible/ visual alarm device installed in the
protected area, which can be activated by the FACP at the fire control center or by
manual call points.A series of GSTaddressable sounder strobes such as I-9403 can be
connected to the loop of GST200-2. After activated, it will generate strong audible/ visual
alarm signal.
3.3.6 Repeater Panel
GST852RP Repeater Panel is designed with a microprocessor. When one or more
detectors alarm fire, the repeater panel can display the location and alarm message of
the detectors with audible and optical signals. Through communication loops, it can be
connected with FACPs, disposing and displaying the data from the FACPs. When
monitoring several floors or several zones with one fire alarm control panel, a repeater
panel on each floor or in each zone can replace zonal fire alarm control panel.
3.4 Defining Tool Software
This software is used for editing and downloading definition of device and C&E equation.
Before the system starts operation, you need to define the device and C&E using this
software on a computer, and then download them to the FACP.

Check the components according to packing list. The main items to be examined are:
installation and operation manual, keys to the FACP, etc.
Check Internal Components and Interconnection of the FACP
All internal parts have been connected (including optional units ordered) before the
FACP leaves the factory. Therefore, you can mainly check the zone indication and
manual intervention panel and power supply, and the connection among parts, including
the connection between main board and power supply, switch board and loop interface
board, the connection of the zone indication and manual intervention panel with switch
board, and of speaker and main board etc. Please refer to Appendix 1 for the internal
connection diagram.
4.2 Installing the Cabinet
Dimension of the cabinet is shown in Fig. 4-1.
Ambient conditions for installation of the FACP:
Temperature: 0℃~＋40℃
Relative humidity≤95％, non-condensing

4.3 Start-up Check
After installation, apply power to it as shown in Fig. 4-2. Turn on the main and standby
power supply in the cabinet and check if the FACP can self-test. The procedures are as
follows.
Check if the digital displays showing time are illuminated one by one.
Check if the LCD showing system messages such as fire alarm is illuminated.
Check if the LEDs showing the state of system can be illuminated one by one.
Check if the LEDs showing the device state on ZCP are illuminated in turn.
Check if the speaker can give loud alarm sounds.
4.4 Connections of Peripheral Devices
4.4.1 Connection of Mains Power
GST200-2 Fire Alarm Control Panel receives power from a 220V/230VAC,
50Hz/60Hz supply. The current flows through a filter to the transformer. The
transformer converts the input mains voltage to 27VAC.
The incoming power feed cable Earth (Green/Yellow) wire should be connected to
the earth terminal.
Connect the live wire to the L terminal and connect the neutral wire to the N
terminal.
Note:
1）Do not power the system until the installation is completed.
2）The incoming mains cabling to the FACP should be supplied via a switch to
facilitate servicing.
