4.0 Cabling Requirements
4.1 Detector, Alarm and Auxiliary Wiring
All external wiring associated with the system must conform to the current I.E.E Regulations and
cabling must conform to the relevant BS specifications. ECA recommended Cable Separation for
Electromagnetic Compatibility in Buildings must be followed.
To comply with EMC regulations Protec recommends the use of screened cabling throughout the
installation. The screens must be securely connected to the screwed earthing studs provided inside
the 3200 enclosure.
Screened cables that are suitable for wiring are:
MICC (PyroTM), Pirelli FP200TM, FireTuffTM, or any other cable which complies with BS 6387
(categories C, W, Z).
Proper glanding of the cable is vital for the correct performance of the system.
4.2 Mains Wiring
The 3200 requires a mains supply exclusive to the panel that uses fixed three core wiring (between
0.75mm2and 2.5mm2) which is fed from an isolating fused spur, fused at 3A.
Unauthorised operation of the mains supply should not be allowed and the fused spur should be
labelled “FIRE ALARM: DO NOT SWITCH OFF”
Important Note:
Do not connect the mains wiring to the control panel until all other connections (detector
circuits, alarm circuits, auxiliary inputs/outputs) have been checked.

5.0 Installation Procedure
The 3200 fire alarm panel circuit boards are housed in a metal enclosure. This enclosure has a
lockable metal front door (holding the display board).
The panel can be surface or flush mounted (a bezel is required for flush mounting).
The panel must be located internally in an area that is not subject to dampness, extremes of
temperature or physical abuse. The environmental limits are given in Section 21
1) Unpacking
After opening the box, remove the installation template from the packaging, leaving the 3200
in the cardboard box for protection.
2) Preparing the Mounting Position
Use the installation template in conjunction with a spirit level to mark out the fixing locations
for the panel. Drill and plug the three mounting holes previously marked.
3) Removal of the Main Board.
NOTES ON ANTI-STATIC HANDLING OF THE PCBs
Before handling any of the circuit boards in the 3200 it is vital that any operatives
discharge themselves of any static charge that may have built up on them. This can be
done by momentarily touching a solid earth point (a non-painted part of a radiator, for
example).
Handle the PCB. by its sides and DO NOT touch the electronic components.
The PCB. should be stored in a clean, dry place away from the place of work. Retain the
PCB. in a cardboard box for safety until it is required.
Disconnect the 16 way display board ribbon cable from the main PCB. Take care not to strain
the PCB.
Remove the supplementary earth cable from the mains terminal block.
Unscrew the five posidrive screws on the main PCB. Then remove the PCB, the screws (and
any washers) and the power supply insulation sheet and place them in the cardboard box for
protection.
4) Preparing and Fixing the Unit
Using the installation template, mark out suitable positions for cable entry on the top of the
enclosure (not behind the main board or battery locations). The mains cable entry position
should be kept away from other system cabling.
Drill out the cable entry positions and mount the enclosure at the position prepared in (2)
whilst feeding the cables into the enclosure.
Ensure any metal swarf is completely removed from the enclosure before the main PCB. is re-
fitted.

93-331-73 Issue 2 Page 9 of 32 © Protec Fire Detection PLC 2013
5) Refitting of the Main Board
NOTE: Do not over-tighten any screws.
Refit the power supply insulation sheet over the PCB mounting pillars.
Replace the main PCB and refit the five posidrive screws. Ensure the top right screw includes
a metal star washer to maintain earth connectivity.
Reconnect the 16-way ribbon cable from the display board, and reconnect the supplementary
earth connection to the mains input terminal block.
6.0 Testing of Cabling Prior to Connection
Before connecting any external cables to field device (detectors, sounders, auxiliary inputs or outputs),
or the 3200, tests must be carried out using a 500V dc insulation tester (MeggerTM). The readings
between each cable core, and each core and earth should be greater than 10MΩ.
Important Notes:
•Equipment connected to the cabling during insulation tests could be damaged with the high
voltages produced during the test.
•Field devices and the 3200 MUST NOT be connected when high voltage insulation tests are being
performed on the cabling.
•The cabling must be completely discharged prior to connection to any field devices or the 3200.

7.0 Detector Circuit Connections
Figure 7 shows a typical connection regime for a detector zone on the 3200.
Figure 7.0 Typical 3200 Detector Connection
•Ensure the length of the zone wiring is no more than 500 metres.
•Ensure the resistance of each conductor is no more than 15Ω.
•Ensure the capacitance of the zone wiring is no more than 0.27µF (micro-Farads)
when no end of line capacitor is present.
•The end of line unit (8.2kΩresistor or 100µF/22Ωnetwork) must be placed at the very end of the
detector zone wiring, to ensure the whole zone is monitored.
•Spurs should not be connected from the zone wiring, as a spur cannot be monitored for open
circuit faults.
•To ensure compliance with EN54 Part 2 each detector base must include a series low voltage
drop diode, so that manual call points following a removed detector still function correctly. Protec
S3000 bases incorporate the diode as standard.
•Manual call points must incorporate a series resistor to ensure the zone does not enter a short
circuit fault condition when the manual call point is activated. If the panel is to be able to
distinguish between automatic and manual zone activation. The resistor value in the manual call
point must be 180Ω. In retrofit situations, values up to 560Ωcan be used but the ‘MCP Fire’
indication may not be given in all cases.
Protec 3100 manual call points incorporate the series resistor as standard.

8.0 Alarm Circuit Connections
The 3200 has two alarm circuit outputs, rated for continuous use at 150mA and protected from over-
load by an auto resetting thermal ‘fuse’. The ‘fuse’ will reset when the cause of overload has been
removed and the alarm output has been de-activated.
Figure 8 shows typical connections for a alarm circuit.
Figure 8.0 Typical Alarm Circuit Connection.
•Ensure the length of the alarm circuit wiring is no more than 500 metres.
•Ensure the capacitance of the alarm circuit wiring is no more than 0.27µF (micro-Farads).
•The 10kΩend of line resistor must be connected at the very end of the alarm circuit wiring, to
ensure the whole line is monitored for open circuit faults.
•Spurs should not be connected from the alarm wiring, as the spur cannot be monitored for open
circuit faults.
•Only polarised and suppressed sounders should be used on the 3200 alarm circuits. Failure to
use polarised sounders will result in an alarm circuit fault. All Protec S3000 sounders are polarised
and suppressed as standard.
•Efforts should be made to evenly spread the sounder load across the two alarm circuits, to avoid
overloading either of the alarm outputs.
•It is acceptable to connect alarm circuits 1 and 2 in parallel (to obtain a drive rating of 300mA
continuous), however the end of line resistor value must be changed to 4k7Ω1/2W 5%. This is
detailed in figure 8.1

9.0 Auxiliary Input and Output Wiring
The auxiliary input connections (Keyswitch, Remote Alarm and Class Change) and auxiliary output
connections (Global Fault and Global Fire) should be wired in screened cable. The screen should be
securely connected to the screwed earthing posts provided in the 3200.
9.1 Keyswitch Input
The keyswitch input is active when a short circuit (less than 50Ω) is connected across the keyswitch
terminals.
In the standard 3200 this is an alternate method of accessing level 2 functions if the code entry feature
is not required.
The keyswitch wiring should be kept local to the 3200.
9.2 Remote Alarm Input
The remote alarm input is active when a short circuit (less than 50Ω) is placed across the remote
alarm terminals. When active the 3200 will activate alarm outputs, fast pulse the internal buzzer and
illuminate the ‘General Fire’ indicator. The Global Fire output is NOT activated.
9.3 Class Change Input
The class change input is active when a short circuit (less than 50Ω) is connected across the Class
Change terminals. When active the 3200 will activate alarm outputs continuously. The Global Fire
output is NOT activated.
9.4 Global Fault Output
The Global Fault output is a set of Volt free relay changeover contacts (rated at 1A 24V dc max.) to
allow interfacing to other equipment. The contacts are normally activated (the N/C and COM contacts
are high resistance) and will release when the 3200 detects a fault.
9.5 Global Fire Output
The Global Fire output is a set of Volt free relay changeover contacts (rated at 1A 24V dc max.) to
allow interfacing to other equipment. The contacts are normally released (the N/C and C contacts are
low resistance) and operate as follows:
The Global Fire output WILL activate if:
•A standard zone has activated (MCP or automatic)
•A coincidence zone has expired, or the second zone has activated
The Global Fire output WILL NOT activate if:
•A remote alarm activation occurs
•A zone in test mode is activated
•A non-latching zone is activated
•The Sound Alarms button is pressed in access level 2 or 3

10.0 Commissioning
10.1 Connecting the Mains
Important Note:
•Pay particular attention that the earth cable is firmly connected to the earth terminal of the
power supply, and that the earth strap from the main PCB. to the main panel metalwork is
sound.
After making and checking the connections to the control panel detailed in previous sections, the
power supply may be connected to the incoming mains supply.
Ensure the fused double pole isolator is in the ‘OFF’ position then connect the incoming mains cable
to the appropriate terminals on the power supply PCB (see figure 12.0).
