General Description 9
Chapter 2
General Description
2.1 Previdia Max System
Previdia Max is a modular system for the construction of fire detection and extinguishant systems.
The three typical system applications are:
• control panel in single cabinet
• control panel in several cabinets (multi-cabinet system)
• Control panels in a network (via RS485 BUS, TCP-IP connection or by means of a combination of both)
Previdia Max control panels, installed in several cabinets, are a combination of modules. Two types of modules are
available:
•
FPM Modules
modules to be mounted on the cabinet front plate:
- FPMCPU, main CPU unit, essential for system functioning
if required, a second CPU unit can be installed inside the
cabinet. This second CPU will take over in the event of fault
status on the main unit and by so doing will disable the main
CPU completely.
- FPMNUL - plastic support (provide no functions other than
support)
- FPMLED - signalling module with 50 individually programmable
tricolour LEDs
- FPMLEDPRN - signalling module with 50 individually
programmable tricolour LEDs and an 80mm printer
- FPMEXT - extinguishant channel status module, to be used
when the control panel is equipped with modules for the
management of automatic fire-extinguishant systems (IFMEXT).
•
IFM Modules
internal modules, to be mounted inside the cabinet by means of
the CAN drive bar:
-IFM24160 - power supply module, essential for control panel
functioning, to be mounted in the first position at the top on the
CAN drive bar
-IFM2L - module for the management of two loop circuits for
devices distributed in the protected area.
-IFM4R - module with 4 programmable relays
-IFM4IO - module with 4 supervised power inputs/outputs
-IFMDIAL - module for dialler communications over PSTN or
GSM networks and GPRS connection management
-IFM16IO - module with 16 low-power inputs/outputs
-IFMNET - module for the connection of control panels in a
Hornet+ network
-IFMLAN - module for advanced TCP-IP service management
(Video verification, Web Interface Web, e-mail, etc.)
-IFMEXT - module for gas-extinguishant system management
Each cabinet can house two front-plate modules and 8 internal modules.

10 General Description
Fire detection and extinguishant system
The Previdia Max control panel can be mounted in up to 4 cabinets affixed together. In a system with more than one
cabinet, the maximum number of modules is as follows:
2.2 Single cabinet control panel
If the Previdia Max system is mounted in a single cabinet with a main FPMCPU
unit (crucial for system functioning), it will be possible to install a second FPM
module on the front plate.
The cabinet has a CAN drive inside for the interconnection of a maximum of 8
IFM modules, installed in accordance with system requirements.
Previdia216, the basic Previdia Max control-panel model mounted in a single
cabinet already has the following modules installed:
•MainCPUunit
• IFM24160 - power-supply module

Installation manual
General Description 11
2.3 Remote user interfaces (repeaters)
The FPMCPU unit has an RS485 BUS which supports up to 15 repeater user
interfaces.
Each repeater provides the same functions as the FPMCPU module. Each
repeater is constituted by an FPMCPU unit housed in an enclosure with a cover
plate (PRREP). During the configuration phase each unit must be included in the
system as a repeater.
For the installation instructions refer to paragraph 5.2 Mounting a PRREP,
repeater enclosure; for the electrical connections refer to paragraph 5.16
FPMCPU front-plate module wiring - repeater connection.
Repeaters can be connected to the system also through a TCP-IP connection
(refer to paragraph 2.6 Control Panels in an IP network).
2.4 Multi-cabinet control panels
The capacity of the control panel can be expanded by affixing as many as 4 cabinets together.
The cabinets can be affixed together by securing the bottom of one cabinet to the top of another
by means of the supplied bolts. Once the cabinets are affixed to one another, all the CAN drive bars
must be connected together by means of the supplied BUS cable.
The number of housings available for front-plate and internal modules increases with the number of
cabinets installed.
An IFM24160 power supply module can be installed in each of the cabinets, thus providing a voltage
equal to the sum of the maximum voltages of the power-supply modules installed. Power-supply
modules installed in this way share the voltage load automatically.
2.5 Control panels in a Hornet+ network
The system can be expanded by simply connecting other control panels
(maximum 48) in such a way as to constitute a system with increased capacity
(Hornet+ network).
When connecting two or more control panels in a Hornet+, it will be necessary
to install an IFMNET module inside each control panel. These modules provide
two RS485 ports for the loop (for the wiring description refer to paragraph 3.11
IFMNET, internal network connection module).
For further information regarding the method used for connecting control
panels in a network refer to the Previdia Max Networking Guide available at
www.inim.biz
2.6 Control Panels in an IP network
Several control panels or Hornet+ networks of control
panels can be connected together by means of a TCP-
IP connection.
Each node in a connection of this type is identified as a
“cluster”. Each cluster can consist of a single control
panel, a Hornet network of control panels or a repeater.
For further information regarding the method used for
connecting control panels in a network refer to the
Previdia Max Networking Guide available at

3.3 PRREP, repeater enclosure
A remote repeater user-interface can be housed either inside a PRCAB cabinet or inside a PRREP mounting enclosure.
These enclosures can be wall mounted using the anchor-screw holes, or flush-mounted using the flanges available on
the back of the enclosure.
PRREP provides a front plate in aluminium for the mounting of an FPMCPU front-plate module.
3.4 FPMCPU, front-plate CPU module and repeater
The FPMCPU module is the main unit of the control panel and contains the main CPU with all the system configuration
data.
Each module in the Previdia Max system has its own independent CPU. Each FPMCPU unit contains two CPUs: a main
CPU and a emergency backup CPU. The backup CPU will take over in the event of fault on the main CPU.
The emergency backup CPU ensures the efficiency of the basic functions of the system (alarm signal reception from
points and activation of outputs). However, it does not ensure all the configured activation logic. For total redundancy of
all the configured functions, it is necessary to add and configure a second FPMCPU unit to the control panel.

3.6 IFM24160, power-supply module
The IFM24160 internal module supplies and distributes power through the CAN drive connection bar and through the
two outputs, OUT 1 and OUT 2.
In installations where several control panels are connected in a network, it is necessary to use an IFM24160 power-supply
module for each control panel.
In installations where the control panel comprises more than one cabinet, you can install a power supply in each cabinet.
The total voltage available equals the sum of the voltages of each power supply added together minus 1A for correct
cable balance.
FPMCPU comes with:
• battery connection wire with thermal probe
• battery to battery connection wire
• 3 screws for securing the module to the grounding bar
• wire with eyelet terminal for connection to earth
• 1 ferrite

3.7 IFM2L, internal module with 2 loops
All the peripheral devices of the system must be connected in parallel to the loop circuit (2 pole shielded cable). The
control panel communicates with the loop devices via a digital protocol which allows their complete control. The loop
utilizes the same two wires for the power supply to devices and for two-way communication.
Each IFM2L module contains circuits for the management of two loops. Previdia Max control panels are capable of
managing up to 16 loops through a maximum of 8 IFM2L modules.
