INSTALLATION
ESD PRECAUTION
GENERAL
MOUNTING THE CABINET
Electronic components are vulnerable to damage by Electrostatic Discharges (ESD). An ESD wrist strap,
suitably grounded, should be worn at all times when handling pcbs. These wrist straps are designed to
prevent the build up of static charges, not only within a persons body, but on many other materials.
ESD damage is not always evident immediately, faults can manifest themselves at anytime in the future.
All pcbs should be stored in static shielded bags (silvered) for safe keeping, when not mounted in the
control panel.
Care should be taken with regards to avoiding the close proximity of high voltage cables or areas likely
to induce electrical interference. Earth links should be maintained on all system cables and grounded in
the control panel. The detection and sounder circuit cabling is classed as extra low voltage and must be
segregated away from mains voltage.
• Any junction boxes used should be clearly labelled FIRE ALARM.
• Any ancillary devices, e.g. door retaining magnets, must be powered from a separate power source.
• Any coils or solenoids used in the system must be suppressed, to avoid damage to the control
equipment.
The panel is only suitable for mounting in dry control rooms or dry accomodation spaces. The site chosen
for the location of the panel should be clean, dry and not subject to shock or vibration. Damp, salt air or
environments where water ingress or extremes of temperature may affect the panel must be avoided. The
temperature should be in the range -5° to +55°C, and the relative humidity should not exceed 95%.
Before mounting the cabinet remove the main PCB.
Remove the power supply module connecting wires from the main PCB, taking care to note where to re-
connect them. The main PCB can then be carefully pulled off it’s mounting clips.
Secure the cabinet to the wall using the four indented holes in the back box. Ensure the box is mounted
level and in a convenient location where it may be easily operated and serviced.
External cables should be glanded via preformed knockouts at the top and rear of the cabinet. Remove
any knockouts and ensure the cabinet is clear of swarf etc prior to retting the PCB. Always ensure that if
a knockout is removed, the hole is lled with a good quality cable gland. Any unused knockouts must be
securely blanked off.
Knockouts should be removed with a sharp tap at the
rim of the knockout using a at 6mm broad bladed
screwdriver.
Use of excessive force will damage the enclosure
around the knockout.

MAINS CONNECTIONS
Do not connect the mains supply to the panel
until you are fully conversant with the layout
and features of the equipment.
A rating plate is attached to the power supply
module describing the nature of the supply
permitted.
The incoming mains supply should be brought
into the panel via one of the knockouts
provided.
A suitable cable gland must be used to secure
the outer sheath of the cable used. The earth
must rst be connected to the primary earth
stud (peg) marked with a symbol, using a
suitable ring crimp.

INSTALLATION
CONNECTING THE BATTERIES
BATTERY CHARGING VOLTAGE CHECKS
EARTH FAULT MONITORING
Batteries of even very small capacity are capable of delivering very high currents which can cause re or
injury, therefore battery connections should be done with caution.
The panel is supplied with battery leads already connected to the battery terminals on the main PCB.
These leads are coloured red for +ve and black for -ve.
2 x 12v batteries should be connected in series using the
white jumper lead provided. See diagram.
To optimise the service life of the batteries, the battery
charger output voltage varies with temperature.
N.B.
In the event of mains failure, the battery charger circuit will
protect the batteries from full discharge by disconnecting
them when they reach below 19v. When the mains supply
is restored the batteries will be automatically reconnected.

NOTE:
If the mains is connected before the batteries, the panel will show a Power Supply fault for up to 1 minute
until the monitoring cylce has nished polling. This is normal. If the fault doesn’t clear after 1 minute, check
connections.
For on ship use:- battery retaining clamps must be tted.
The battery charging voltage is factory calibrated to 27.3vdc +/- 0.2v @ 20oC. This should not normally
require adjustment. Where battery problems are experienced, the following information should be
considered.
a) If a battery is disconnected from the charger, no voltage will appear on the output leads or terminals,
due to intelligent battery controls.
b) Check the power supply voltage at the 28v & 0v supply output terminals. With the batteries
disconnected the voltage should be 27.6vdc +/- 0.2v @ between 11oC - 40oC.
c) To test the batteries, turn off the mains and see if the system will run on the batteries. Check the
battery voltage, should be 26.8v for a good battery or 22v for a at battery.
d) The power supply voltage can be adjusted using the potentiometer on the power supply module (see
page 7), checking at the 28v & 0v output terminals with a calibrated volt meter. Batteries should be
disconnected and the Access Level 3 DIL switch should be set to ‘ON’ (see page 17), which will over
ride the temperature compensation controls. Carefully adjust the voltage to 27.6vdc +/- 0.2v. When
completed, switch off Access Level 3 DIL switch and re-connect the batteries.
e) When the panel is re-charging a low battery, it should be possible to see the voltage across the
batteries increase gradually. If this is not occurring, the batteries or the panel may be faulty.
The Marine panels are equipped with earth fault monitoring to the 28v supply rails. Any cable connected
to earth will cause an earth fault to be indicated. The earth fault LED is located internally next to the
program options switch on the main circuit board. If an earth fault exists a PSU Fault (and General Fault)
will be indicated externally. The internal LED will show continuously for earth faults on the -ve polarity
cables and pulse for +ve polarity cables. (Be aware sounder cables monitor in reverse). Identifying the
source of the earth fault requires systematically removing cables until the fault clears. There is a 30
second delay to the earth fault signal to avoid spurious faults due to noise.

SETUP & PROGRAMMING
NETWORK PANELS SETUP
The system can support up to 8 networked 8-12 zone control panels, 1 x Master and up to 7 x Slaves.
Comms PCB
To run a network, a Comms PCB (TPCA05) must be tted to each control panel.
The Comms PCB ts into the control panel on top of the main circuit board where the ribbon cable from
the display board comms is normally plugged.
To t the Comms PCB, power down the panel, un-plug the display board ribbon cable from the main circuit
board and plug the Comms PCB into the socket instead.
A socket is provided on the top of the Comms PCB to re-connect the display board ribbon cable.
Each panel to be included in the network is dened by setting switch 5 on the 6 way DIL switch located
on the main circuit board.
OFF = Stand Alone mode, ON = Network/Repeater mode.
With this switch in the ON position the panel will automatically recognise & operate the Comms PCB
(TPCA05).

SETUP & PROGRAMMING
Programming
The Master panel will need to be programmed for the number of network panels on the system. See panel
wide programming settings, code 2-1-2-3, option 10, (Set Number of Network Slave Panels on System).
Addressing
Each panel needs to have a unique address. The addressing is done using the 4 DIL switches on each of
the Comms PCBs using binary code values, see diagram below.
The addresses should be set in sequence from 1 - 8, rst slave panel = address 01, second slave panel =
address 02 etc.
The Master panel is dened by being address 00 (all switches off).
Network slave panels and/or repeater panels are designed to be wired in a fault tolerant (fail safe) loop
conguration, from comms A to B and back to the Master panel again (see drawing below). This enables
the network to still function if there is a break in the cables.
If replacing an older system where the existing cabling cannot be congured in a loop as above, it is
possible to change the panel settings to legacy, radial circuit comms monitoring.
See panel wide programming settings, code 2-1-2-3, option 6, (Change Network/Repeater Comms
Monitoring Type).

To access Level 3 options, rst set switch 6 on the 7 way DIL switch located on the main PCB to the
‘ON’ position. Then activate the controls by turning the key switch or by entering the four digit code (see
Activate Controls in the OPERATING section).
Once the controls are active, the ‘Access Level’ indicator will pulse to signify that Level 3 access is active.
Programming throughout the panel is carried out in a sequence where the re LEDs indicate the options
to set and the fault LEDs indicate the status of these settings.
Generally button 1 is used to scroll the indications (button 3 can also be used to scroll backwards).
Pressing and holding button 1 for 3 seconds at any time will exit the programming mode completely.
N.B.
The panel will automatically save settings & drop out of programming modes if left idle for more than
approximately 30 seconds.
It is possible to review the settings within a programming mode without changing them. Steady Fire LEDs
indicate review mode. To edit a setting rst use button 1 to select the required option, pressing ENTER
enables editing of the option. Flashing re LEDs indicates edit mode and button 2 is used to change the
setting.
Pressing ENTER again will exit ‘edit’ mode back to ‘review’ mode.
Some programming modes are denoted with (EN54!). Where this symbol appears EN54 compliance may
be affected by this setting.
