1.4 General
The NFS Supra control panel has been designed to manage correctly and according to, UNE-EN 54-2 and UNE-EN 54-4/A2:2006 fire alarm control systems.
The control Panel can support an unlimited number of manual call points and a limited number of detectors by zone, according to the limits of design and
installation standards that are applicable. Some approvals, certifications and proper functioning of the system, is ensured by the use and recommendations set by
the manufacturer of fire detectors, optical acoustic alarm indicators and peripheral equipment connected to this fire alarm control panel. Read the reviews and
features defined in this manual as well as any of the equipment to be connected to the panel, to ensure proper compatibility
The operational performance of the panel is microprocessor-controlled and has several configuration options, in addition to the mandatory requirements of sounder
delays, zone monitoring or test mode. Check the system settings (or default configuration) before making any Test.
1.5 Warnings and Cautions
Installation: This Control Panel design is based on a modular build concept , which offers the user completely flexible system solutions. The electronic
components are part of a separate module, which need not be installed until system commissioning is to be undertaken.
Before installing this control panel, please thoroughly read and understand the installation section of this manual and installation instructions or
manuals of every each device, which provide detailed information on mounting, wiring, and installing the system.
This panel or devices connected to it can be damaged if you do not follow the instructions described in this manual. Do not connect or disconnect any
device without disconnecting all power sources as they can result in serious damage.
Commissioning: To install and configure the NFS Supra control panel, carefully follow the steps in this manual. It is recommended by manufacturer to check the
wiring lines before making any connection to the panel or field devices.
The NFS Supra control panel includes integrated power supply and space provision for two sealed, lead-acid gel standby batteries. In accordance with UNE-EN
54-4: A2: 2006, mandatory standard from August 2009, it is necessary to supervise the internal battery resistance to guarantee the battery correct operation in the
event of a power supply fault. The control panel carries regular readings of internal battery resistance to check the resistive value. If this value exceeds 700 mΩ,
the control panel will show a power supply fault, indicating that the battery status is not correct
The lead-acid gel battery deep discharge and the use of low-quality batteries with high internal resistance can cause damage and malfunction of the system.
Although the control panel allows a wide margin in the supervision and types of batteries, DO NOT INSTALL discharged batteries or those with which the
system indicates fault. Consult the manufacturer for recommended battery types and models.

2 Use and Operation
System
The system is controlled by a processor with a software that monitors and ensures system’s
security, which increases its reliability.
System access is restricted by password or keyswitch (level 2).
Front indicator leds and buzzer show the current state of the system.
The NFS Supra control panel has 10 system status leds indicators, zonal led indicators (alarm and
fault/disable/test), zonal push-button (disable/test/enable zone) and 6 function push-button.
Alarm zones
NFS Supra control panels have 4, 8 and 12 detection zones. Up to 32 sensors (System Sensor
Series 800 / ECO1000) and/or manual call points may be connected to each zone
The control panel differentiates between an alarm from a sensor and from a call point.
Detector Alarm: Zone LED in flashing mode / Call Point Alarm: Zone LED in steady mode
The operation of each zone can be configured as:
-Normal zone: Immediate activation of alarms.
-Confirmed delay zone: The alarm must keep activated for 30 sec. (Not applicable
to detectors).
-Verified zone: The zone is reset in the first alarm and keeps monitoring for 10 min.
If a new alarm is generated within the verification time (10 minutes), the alarm is
confirmed. Otherwise, the process is reset without indicating alarm.
A short circuit in any zone maybe configured to be detected as an alarm or fault
(EN54/2).
Operation
EN54-2:/D and EN54-14 A6.2.2.1: Up to 32
devices, fire detectors or 10 MCPs may be connected
to one zone.

Outputs (Sounders and Relays)
The NFS Supra control panel have two sounder outputs, which can be activated by specific zones.
Any zone alarm will activate all sounders, by default.
Relays: The NFS Supra control panel have one alarm relay that is activated immediately when an
alarm is confirmed and is latched together with the general alarm led: one fault relay that changes
its state after any fault in the system or lack of power supply.
Additionally, it is possible to connect up to 3 modules (VSN-4REL) with 4 relays each one (up to 12
relays), configurable by software to perform specific actions.
Sounder delay
The user can start or stop the delays configured for sounders by pressing the Delay On/Off key.
From access level 3 (programmer), 2 different delay times can be configured (10 minutes max.).
Time 1 (Acknowledge): During this time, the user must press the Buzzer Mute key to acknowledge
the alarm; otherwise, sounders will activate. Configurable times: from 0 to 300 sec.
Time 2 (Inspection): Additional time for considering the alarm. After this period of time, sounders
will activate. Configurable times: from 0 to 10 min.
The activation mode of sounders can be configured by zone, with or without delay for manual call
points or detectors. Sounders may also not be activated by a specific zone.
Moreover, 2 zones in alarm at the same time can also disable the operating delays.
Users can stop the operating delays from the Access level 1 by pressing the Delay On/Off key.
When a manual call point is activated, the operating delays will be cancelled.

3 Installation guide
3.1 Introduction
This section is intended to provide you with simple guidelines on how to install the extinguishing control panel quickly and safely.
3.2 Pre-installation Check list
Antes Before installing the NFS Supra control panel, you must first ensure that the following criteria have been met. Failure to do this may not only result in
damage to the equipment, but may also cause problems when commissioning the equipment or adversely affect its performance.
Before selecting a location for the control panel and devices, DO make sure that:
• The operating room temperature is in the recommended range: -5ºC to +40ºC
• The relative humidity is between 5% and 95%
• The panel is wall mounted in a position that allows clear visibility of displays and easy access to operating controls. The height above floor level
should be chosen such that the LCD is just above normal eye level (approximately 1.5 metres).
• DO NOT locate the panel where it is exposed to high levels of moisture.
• DO NOT locate the panel where there are high levels of vibration or shock.
• DO NOT site the panel where there would be restricted access to the internal equipment and cabling/wiring connections.
•DO NOT install the electronic module until you are sure that the work at installation area does not damage the system.
3.3 Transient Protection
This equipment contains transient-protection devices. Although no system is completely immune from lightning transients and interference, for these devices
to function correctly, and to reduce susceptibility, this equipment must be earthed correctly.
As with all solid-state devices, this system may operate erratically or can be damaged if subjected to lightning-induced transients.
The use of overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended due to the increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes.

To prevent distortion, the NFS Supra mounting bracket MUST be installed
on the wall as flat as possible, i.e. with a maximum flatness deviation
between any two points of 3mm. Where the wall is out of tolerance, use
appropriate packing pieces to meet these requirements.
Step 1:
• Hold the mounting plate in the required position on the wall and mark
the position of the 3 fixing holes. Use a level to ensure these are level.
• Remove the mounting plate from the wall and drill the 3 holes.
• Use rawlplugs or equivalent (Ø 6mm) to the 3 holes.
Step 2:
• Screw the mounting plate to the wall, using the top fixing hole only at
this stage and appropriately sized screws.
Step 3:
• Line the 2 holes in the lower area of the mounting plate with the two
holes in the wall drilled earlier. Use suitably sized screws to secure
the mounting plate to the wall.
Step 4:
• Remove all blanks from the 20mm cable-entry apertures required for
all cable access.

3.4.2 Panel Enclosure Installation
The control panel enclosure is very simple to install providing the mounting
plate has been installed correctly as described in Section 3.4.1 Mounting
Plate Installation.
Step 1:
• With the mounting plate installed on the wall in the desired location,
offer the two rebates located at the top of the panel enclosure to engage
the enclosure to the mounting plate.
• While performing this procedure, you will need to guide each of the
field cables through the aperture located at the back of the enclosure
until they are within the enclosure.
Step 2:
• Once the enclosure is aligned correctly with the mounting base, use
the 4 suitably-sized screws to fix it.
This procedure assumes that all field cables have been secured on the
mounting bracket with fire industry approved cable glands, using the appropriate
cable apertures (knockouts) and appropriately labeled by function in readiness for
termination within the panel.

3.4.3 Installing the Batteries
The batteries must be located in the dedicated space in the lower part of
the NFS Supra enclosure that has space provision for two 7Ah,12V
sealed lead batteries.
• Orientate the batteries so that the wiring connection terminals of each
unit are adjacent to each other (as shown opposite) then offer each
in turn to the enclosure.
• Locate the batteries in their right position inside the enclosure.
3.4.4 Enclosure Cover
The control panel has a cover (door) to close the enclosure at the end of
the installation.
Use 4 screws to fix the cover on the enclosure.
CAUTION - ENERGY HAZARD!
NEVER short the battery terminals.
CAUTION - RISK OF EXPLOSION!
If battery is replaced with an incorrect type.
