guides the user during on-site programming.
➢Key features of the ZoneSense PLUS FACP include:
➢Multi-purpose expansion capabilities
➢Multi-level password access
➢Tactile-feedback controls
➢Selectable end-of-line
➢Keyed entry
Each zone can accommodate up to 40 conventional detectors that can be programmed to function in one of the
following modes:
➢Normal (latching)
➢Alarm Verification Facility (AVF)
➢Non-latching
➢Self Reset
➢Dual selectable Agent Release
The standard ZoneSense PLUS FACP comprises of a main printed circuit board and a power supply unit.
The main board provides:
➢The visual indication and control
➢Two Relays with volt-free Alarm and Fault changeover contacts
➢Termination for zones
➢Monitored outputs
➢Power supply monitoring
➢RS485 communications port
The ZoneSense PLUS can be quickly converted to an AS4214 approved Agent Release System with the use of the Agent

4.1 PCB Removal / Replacement
If the PCB’s have to be removed the following precautions should be observed;
➢Removing the door will provide better access to the boards and ensure the hinges are not accidentally
stressed.
➢Personal anti- static procedures must be followed.
➢When disconnecting the 20 way connecting cable from the PCB, make sure that the cable remains connected
to at least one board to prevent it being misplaced.
Note: Care should be taken when detaching this connector as it is necessary to depress the small locking tab to
unlock the connector from its base. To reconnect the cable the connector must first be correctly aligned then pushed
into the socket so it locks into position.
➢Carefully remove the retaining screws at each corner of the board taking care not to damage any of the
components.
➢Place each board into anti- static storage once removed.

6.5 8 Way Switch and Indicator Card
This card has 8 switch inputs and 8 LED indicator outputs.
The switch inputs and LED outputs may be used in Cause and Effects.
The switches are configurable as either momentary or toggle switches. When configured as momentary pressing the
button once will cause an event to occur as programmed in C&E and the LED’s can be programmed to operate as an
output C&E effect.
When configured as toggle, pressing the button once will cause a condition to be held until the button is pressed
again. The associated LED is not available as an output in C&E and shall always be illuminated when the toggle

6.7 8-Way Relay Board
The Relay Board provides 8 programmable relays with 30VDC 1 Amp voltage free change over contacts for control or
monitoring purposes and comes fitted for internal or external FACP use.
The functionality and programming of the relays is similar to the relays on the main board of the FACP. By default the
relays default to Common Alarm functionality.
Protection
All terminal points are protected.
The board switches the relays as determined by the panel. The relays can be controlled by:
➢Zones going to alarm
➢Zones going to fault
➢Zones Disabled
➢Reset –relay is activated for 3 seconds when reset depressed

6.8 8-Way Sounder Board
The Sounder Board expands the number of sounders that can be used on an FACP by 8. Each output is of a solid state
design, rated at 24VDC / 750mA and requires a 10KΩ End of Line (EOL) resistor regardless of whether or not a sounder
is wired to the circuit.
The sounder board will switch ON the sounders as configured (output off, continuous or pulsed) at the FACP and
supervise the sounders for their open circuit, short circuit & line fault conditions.
Note: Sounder polarity MUST be observed.

6.9 4 Way Fire Fan Module
The Fire Fan Module has four (4) separate fan controls each having an On, Auto and Off function switch and a set of
three (3) monitoring LED’s. The LED’s indicate the status of the equipment e.g. Run, Fault or Stop. The two (2) arrow
head keys are used to step up and / or down through the three (3) conditions. A slip in label can also be inserted into
the hinged cover for identification purposes.
The “Plant Trip” Reset is used to locally restart plant and equipment that has been automatically shut down because
the FACP has initiated an alarm once that alarm has been cleared.
Quiescent Current: 13.5mA
