NOTE: Do not try to install the control unit and devices connected without reading this manual.
DETECTION SYSTEM LIMITS
An alarm or fire detection system can be very useful for the prompt warning of any dangerous event, such as fire, a
robbery or a simple burglary, in some cases it can automatically manage events (transmission of messages for
room evacuation, automatic fire-extinguishing, TVCC system interface, access route or door blockage, automatic
warning to authorities, etc.), but in any case, it does not ensure protection against damages to propriety or
damages caused by fires or robberies).
Moreover, each system may not properly operate if it is not installed and maintained according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
PRECAUTIONS
These instructions contain procedures to be followed in order to avoid damages to
equipment. It is assumed that the user of this manual has performed a training
course and that he knows the applicable rules in force.
The system and all its components must be installed in an environment having the
following features:
Temperature: -5 °C ¸ +40 °C.
Humidity: 10 % - 93 % (without condensation).
Peripheral devices (sensors, etc.) which are not perfectly compatible with the
control unit may cause damages to the same control unit, and a bad operation of
the system in any moment. Therefore, it is essential to only use material which is
guaranteed by NOTIFIER and is compatible with its own control units.
Please consult NOTIFIER Technical Service for any doubt.
This system, like all solid state components, may be damaged by induced
electrostatic voltages: handles the boards keeping them among the edges and
avoid to touch the electronic components.
An appropriate earthing connection ensures, in any case, a sensitivity reduction to
disturbances.
Please consult NOTIFIER Technical Service if you cannot solve installation
problems.
Any electronic system does not operate if it is not powered.
If power supply from the mains fails, the system ensures its operation through
battery, but only for a limited period of time.
During the system planning phase, take into account the autonomy required to
appropriately dimension the power supply and batteries.
Skilled personnel shall periodically check the state of batteries.
Disconnect the MAINS and the batteries BEFORE removing or inserting any board.
Disconnect ALL power supply sources from the control unit, BEFORE performing
any servicing.
The control unit and the connected devices (sensors, modules, repeaters, etc.)
may be damaged, if a new board is inserted or removed, or if the powered cables
are connected.
The most common cause for malfunctioning is inappropriate maintenance.
Take special care of these aspects since you start the system planning phase; this
will facilitate future servicing and will reduce cost.

Installation
Dimensions for wall assembly
Moreover, if the control unit must
be installed to the wall beside a
corner wall, the minimum distance
from the latter must be at least
280 mm, so as to avoid the
opening of the front panel.
The control unit is designed to be
installed to the wall through self-
blocking cleats (masonry walls) or self-
tapping screws (pre-fabricated panels).
It is recommended not to install the
panel near heat sources (radiators,
etc.)
Use screws of max 5 mm.
The control unit must be installed to the
wall so as to allow a clear view of the
display and easy access by the
operator. For example, it allows an
optimal view of the display at 1.5 m
height ,
.
It is recommended not to install the control unit near heat sources (radiators, etc.).
The control unit can be opened by unscrewing the two cover fixing screws.

ELECTRICAL FEATURES
Operation temperature: - 5° C ÷ + 40°C.
Relative humidity: 10 % ÷ 93 % (without condensation).
Storage temperature: - 10°C÷ + 50°C.
Earthing
The earthling system must be performed in conformity with CEI and ISPELS rules or rules valid in the country
where the panel is installed.
In any case, must have a resistance lower than 10 Ohm (measured at the well with disconnected users). This
complies the CEI 68-12 rule for TN installations.
The earth connection to the control unit is compulsory and it must be performed on the CNAL terminal block. (refer
to basic board topography).
Main power supply
The control unit is powered by the mains voltage and, in case of mains breakdown it can continue to normally
operate due to the re-chargeable battery contained in the same control unit.
The required features for the mains supply are:
Voltage: 230 Vac single-phase -15% ÷ +10%.
Frequency: 50/60Hz.
Current 1.5A.
N.B.: particular care must be taken when the installation is performed near powerful electromagnetic
sources (ex. repeaters, radio relays, motors, etc.).
Power supply
The power supply has the following output: 28,5Vdc – 28,9Vdc,4 A ripple max. 500mVpp
(Power supply for control unit, user output, external load power supply).
Battery charger section
Output voltage = 27,5 Vdc 500mA Vpp max (temperature compensation).
Output current = 1.5A ca
Number of batteries that can be connected = 2 x 12 V – min.7Ah max.27Ah max.
The battery charger section has the following signalling thresholds
Exhausted battery threshold = 21.5 Vdc.
Re-charge Fault threshold = 3.4 Vdc (voltage difference between the two batteries).
Battery release threshold = 19.5 Vdc
Batteries
Average duration declared by the manufacturer - 3-5 years at an ambient temperature of 20 C°
N.B. Life decreases in accordance with a higher operating temperature and possible discharging-recharging cycles
Recommended Batteries:
Capacity 7 Ah ( Min. stand-by capacity )
Yuasa tipo NP7-12B o NP7-12FR (UL94) Faston - Capacity (20hr) = 12V 7Ah – Dimensions: 151 x 65 x 98.
Fiamm tipo FG20721 o FGV20721 (UL94) Faston- Capacity (20hr) = 12V 7Ah – Dimensions: 151 x 65 x 98.
Capacity 17-18 Ah ( max. stand-by capacity )
Yuasa tipo NP18-12B o NP7-12FR (UL94) Bullone - Capacity (20hr) = 12V 24Ah – Dimensions: 181 x 77 x 167.
Fiamm tipo FG21803 o FGV21803 (UL94) Bullone- Capacity (20hr) = 12V 27Ah – Dimensions: 181 x 77 x 167.
These are respectively the Min. and the Max battery capacity compatible with the Battery Charger.
Depending from the Stand-by time required in the System and from Loads calculation, the user can select an intermediate
value.

BATTERIES Installation
Power supply and battery operation
The main microprocessor of the control unit periodically checks the state of the main AC power supply source, batteries and
the recharging circuit. The control unit will automatically switch on the stand-by battery source when AC mains fails.
When the control unit operates through AC mains, the main microprocessor controls the battery charger output and the
presence of them. To perform this test, the output battery charger is temporarily switched off and the battery voltage is read
(signalling of missing batteries<15.0V).
When the control unit operates as a battery (in the absence of the AC mains) “Low Battery” breakdown will be
indicated when their voltage is <21.5V and, to prevent irreversible damages the voltage will be automatically
switched off, by disconnecting the batteries, when the voltage is < 19,5V.
All wirings MUST be checked BEFORE they are connected to the control unit.
It is recommended to perform at least the following checks:
Check the continuity of all cables used (including the shield )
Ensure that, in alarm conditions, any possible voltage drops do not compromise the
operations of the various devices.
Ensure that the electrical characteristics of all cables used come within the
manufacturer’s specifications (refer to the various sections of this manual)
Check the insulation between all cables and between cables and shield and the
earthing. minimum of 2MΩinsulation is required.
Check that the screen of all signal cables is not earthed in positions other than the
prescribed ones.
Check that the signal cables do not travel together with the power lines..
