FT1020G3 Rev 2.10.4
1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
FT1020G3 Operation Manual is a document intended to be used by the end user and the
fire brigade personnel as well as service / commissioning engineers.
The block wiring diagrams of the standard FT1020G3 in 19” rack configurations and
general arrangements are shown in Chapter 34 page 173.
Due to continual development and improvement, different S/W versions are to be found.
This document is valid for software (firmware) version 2.10.x. On the date of printing this
manual x = 4.
The system software version is the firmware downloaded in to the Control Unit via PC
Windows based software e.g. EBL512G3 V2.10.x. The latest system software is factory
downloaded in FT1020G3 before delivery is EBL512G3 V2.10.x. However, new software
may be upgraded to a newer revision on site.
The software version is dependent on the country where the control panel to be installed,
that is due to the variations in the standard in each country. Two separate software
versions are available, Australian (AU) and New Zealand (NZ).
The PC software is Windows based software EBLWin which has to be installed in your PC,
and must have the first two digits of the version number identical to the system software
(firmware) version number i.e. version 2.10.x. The EBLWin is used to download the
firmware and the Site Specific Data (SSD) into the FDCIE.
Only the first two digits must be identical in the software and the EBLWin version number
i.e. 2.10.x (x = minor modifications).
1.2 Definitions / Explanations
Definitions / explanations and abbreviations are used frequently in this document and are
shown in Table 1 below.
Table 1 Definitions and Explanations
Device or function Description
Alarm points
Units, which can generate a fire alarm in FT1020G3, i.e. analogue
detectors (sensors), manual call points, conventional detectors,
etc.
Smoke detector
Analogue or conventional photoelectric smoke detector
Sensor
Sensor = Analogue detector
Analogue detector
Contains an A/D-converter. The FT1020G3 picks up the digital
values ("sensor values") for each detector individually. All
evaluations and "decisions" are then taken by alarm algorithms in
the FDCIE. The latest detector generation (440x) can be used in
"Advanced mode", i.e. the alarm algorithms are in the detector
instead. Analogue detectors are addressable, an address setting
tool 4414E is used to write the address and select the required
mode of the detectors on a COM loop.
An analogue detector has to be plugged in an Analogue Sensor
Base (ASB).
Analogue Sensor Base (ASB)
An analogue detector is plugged in an ASB, which is connected to
a COM loop (see below).

11
Operation Manual
FT1020G3 Rev 2.10.4
Conventional detector
A detector with only two statuses, i.e. normal or fire alarm. The
detector has a "closing contact" and a series alarm resistor.
Normally plugged in a conventional detector base CDB (see
below), which is connected to a conventional zone line input.
Some types are water proof types and cannot be plugged in the
standard base, it is connected directly to a zone line. An end-of-
line device has to be connected in the last unit on the
conventional zone line.
Conventional Detector Base (CDB)
A conventional detector is plugged in a CDB, connected to a
conventional zone line input.
Addressable Units
A unit with a built-in address device. Each unit is individually
identified, handled and indicated in the FDCIE. The unit can be
an I/O unit with a zone line input, to which one or more
conventional "alarm points" can be connected (It can also be one
of Brooks addressable modules 1200,1202 & 1203).
Conventional zone line input
Input intended for one or more conventional alarm points. End-of-
line device in the last alarm point on the zone must be fitted.
Output unit
Addressable unit with programmable control outputs. Connected
to a COM loop (see below).
Output / Control output
Defined or programmable function. Relay output or voltage output
(supervised or non-supervised), in the FDCIE or an output unit
connected to a COM loop.
Short circuit isolator (ISO) Addressable unit for automatic disconnection of a COM loop
segment (see below) in case of short circuit on the loop. As per
AS1670.1, one isolator is required every zone on the COM loop.
Remote Display Unit (RDU)
Addressable unit (RS485 line) for fire alarm presentation
(including user definable alarm text), alert annunciation, etc., end
of line resistor must be set via a jumper link on the last unit.
COM loop
Loop = twisted pair cable, to which all the addressable units can
be connected. Starts in the FDCIE and returns back to the FDCIE.
Control Unit / C.U. / FDCIE
Control Unit = Fire Detection Control and Indicating Equipment
(FDCIE) = Unit to which the alarm points are connected (via e.g. a
COM loop). Indicates on the front fire alarm, fault conditions, etc.
Fire Brigade Panel (FBP)
The fire brigade panel is an integral part of FT1020G3 intended
for fire alarm, fault and disablement presentation, etc. The FBP
compromises the top part of the front display.
Intended for fire alarm presentation and for the fire brigade
personnel.
Control panel (CP)
A part of the FT1020G3 front display, intended for fire brigade or
service personnel, building officer, etc.
, to "communicate" with the
Control Unit / system. It comprises the bottom part of the front
display.
System / Installation
One or several control units connected via a TLON network (co-
operating control units).
Network / TLON® / LonWorks® /
Echelon / Node / TLON Conn. board
/ Channel / Backbone net / Router /
Repeater
Brief explanations to the words/expressions to be found in
connection with a "TLON Network". See also separate TLON
Technical description.
TLON® = TeleLarm Local Operating Network = a LonWorks®-
based network for communication between several control
units/nodes. The protocol is called LonTalk and the transmission
works with doubly- terminated bus topology (Echelon FTT-10).
To connect a control unit to a network, a TLON connection board
has to be plugged in each control unit. FT1020G3 also supports
a redundant TLON Network. In this case two TLON connection
boards have to be plugged in each control unit.
A network can be one channel (FTT-10) or several channels,
connected via routers. In TLON Network, subnet = channel.
Routers are used for safety reasons in a single TLON
Network (up to six control units per channel). Routers can also
be used to increase the distance (cable length) between the end
nodes in a channel.

12
Operation Manual
FT1020G3 Rev 2.10.4
Router or Repeater is the same type of unit (different
configuration). All network programming (configuration) is
configured using the PC program “TLON Manager”. See also
separate TLON Manager Technical Manual.
Nuisance alarms
False or unwanted alarms
LED
LED (Light Emitting Diode) = Yellow, green or red optical indicator
("lamp").
External Indicator / RIL
A unit with a red LED connected to a base (ASB / CDB) or a
detector with an output for a remote indicator RIL.
Lit when the built-in LED in the detector / base is lit.
Display / LCD
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) = Display (in the FDCIE or Display
unit) for presentation of fire alarms, fault messages, etc. In
FT1020G3 it is a graphical monochrome LCD (320 x 240 dots)
with backlight.
Door open (Door / Key switch)
In FT1020G3 there is a door switch, which is activated when the
FDCIE door is open. Door open feature can be used to disable
fault, strobes or OWS.
An open door is indicated in the LCD (i.e. an "open door" icon).
Site Specific Data (SSD)
The SSD is unique for each system. All alarm points, presentation
numbers, user definable alarm texts, programmable outputs, etc.
are created in the PC program EBLWin and also downloaded in
FT1020G3 unit(s) with EBLWin.
Software (S/W) / Firmware / System

2.2 Com Loop Units
Addressable COM loop units are connected directly to a COM loop.
2.3 Address and Mode
The addressable units must have both address and mode set. This is done in different ways
for different units, for example address setting tool 4414E, DIP switches, jumpers, or via
the FDCIE display. For more information, please refer to the Technical Description of each
unit respectively.
2.4 Software (S/W) Versions
Due to continual development and improvement, different S/W versions may be found.
When installing a new Control Unit in a system with "older S/W" Control Units, you must
upgrade the S/W in the old Control Units with the current S/W or downgrade the new
Control Unit software by downloading the same older S/W version in the new Control Unit.
The same S/W version is required in all Control Units in a TLON Network
2.4.1 EBLWin
The PC program EBLWin is used for programming and commissioning of one or more
Control Units.
EBLWin Key 5094 is a USB dongle that has to be plugged in the PC in order to log on to
the FDCIE.
2.4.2 TLON Manager
TLON Manager is an installation and maintenance tool used for the TLON Network
programming and setup, it is Windows based PC software.
2.5 Applications
The FT1020G3 system is intended for small, medium and large installations. The intelligent
Control Units offer the system designer and end user a technically sophisticated range of
facilities and functions.
Programming with the PC programs EBLWin and TLON Manager and commissioning of
the Control Unit / system is an easy process. Start with one Control Unit and then, when
required, add more units. The TLON network allows the installer to install the Control Units
in one building or in different buildings.

Operation Manual
FT1020G3 Rev 2.10.4
Note: “Alarm Routing Activated” LED will be replaced by “ASE Activated” in the revised
front to fulfil AS4428.3:2020
The Fire Brigade Panel (section framed by red boarder) is integrated in the main FT1020G3
front display. FBP is normally used by fire services personnel to investigate which alarm
point / zone(s) have activated a fire alarm and take the required operational control of the
system. Fire brigade personnel can control active alarms via the buttons and keys P1-P4
and P9 within the FBP. P5 – P8 buttons are used to navigate the menu. In the graphical
display, the information displayed in the upper part is dependent on how many alarm points
/ zones have generated fire alarm. In the middle part, the fire alarms will be shown, i.e. one
alarm point or one zone together with a user definable alarm text (if programmed) plus
some other information.
The Control Panel CP is used to "communicate" with the system, i.e. for commissioning,
monthly tests, maintenance, etc. Access code for different access levels is required. To get
access to the system (a menu tree with main and sub menus) and for operational control
of the system, up to ten User names can be used for three different User level types. A
Password (six digits) for each user name is required to logon to the panel and Webserver.
3.4.1 LED Indicators and Push Buttons
LED’s and push buttons are contained on the front panel display and are described
