Installation Steps

12
Position the mounting template tool provided and mark all three pilot holes. Drill a 3mm hole
on the two outside holes and fit the mounting screws provided. Place the template tool back
over the screws and tighten the screws until the template tool can just slip on and off the
screws (ensure the tool in not too loose).
Drill the bottom hole to 12 mm (cable hole).
Place the Display Unit keyholes over the two screws and gently pull down. If the screws have
been tightened to the correct depth the Display will clip down and self tighten.

System Overview
The FR-8000 Alarm Monitor has been developed to allow monitoring of up to 8 zones.
It is a network-based system consisting of a Master Display Unit (FR-8000), a Sensor
Input Unit (FR-100), Smoke Sensors and an optional Engine Room Relay Controller
(FEC-6).
A 4-wire network cable interconnects all devices. The Master Display Unit (MDU) controls
communication with the Input / Output Unit (IOU). System components may be located
anywhere on the network cable and the cable may be up to 1000 meters in length.
Each area which are referred to as zones, can have multiple sensors. An Engine
Room Relay Controller can be fitted (model FEC-6) and any zone can be associated
to that engine relay box.
If there is a fire in a zone associated to the engine relay box - in auto mode it will
automatically shut down fans, fuel pumps and/or any device attached to that relay
box (see page 14 for relay details). In manual mode it will ask you to press the enter
key to start this process.
An extinguisher trigger cupboard door or doors may be connected to a Sensor Input
Unit (FR-100).
This input is fully monitored and if the extinguisher trigger cupboard door is opened
then the alarm buzzer will sound, the Master Display Unit will display ‘Open’ and
relays 5 & 6 will close on the Engine Room Relay Controller (FEC-6) or relay 1 on
(FEC-001). See page 14 for relay details.
The extinguisher bottle pressure switch may be connected to the Engine Room Relay
Controller (FEC-6) see page 10 for details.
This input is monitored and if the extinguisher bottle is empty the Master Display will
display “Empty” if full it will display “OK”
Input 1, 2, 3 and 4 are all internally connected in the FEC-6 so multiple bottles may
be connected. If multiple bottles are connected and one is empty the display will
show “Empty” therefore all bottles will need to be inspected to locate the empty one.
Optional: Pyro-5 Pyrogen interface module
This module will monitor up to 5 Pyrogen extinguisher bottles, also has bottle release
input.

Model FEC –6:
An Engine Room Relay Controller can be fitted (model FEC-6) and any zone can be
associated to that engine relay box.
If there is a fire in a zone associated to the engine relay box - in auto mode it will
automatically shut down fans, fuel pumps and/or any device attached to that relay box, in
manual mode it will ask you to press the Ent key to start this process.
When a fire is detected in a zone that has been associated with the engine controller (FEC-6)
and the FR-8000 (MDU) is in Manual Mode the display will show:
When the Ent key is pressed the following will happen on the FEC-6:
Relay 1, 2, 3 and 4 will activate.
Relay 2 and 3 can be delayed by adjusting the trim pot (next to the address select rotary
switch) marked Rel 2 and Rel 3. Rel 2 adjusts the time for Relay 2 and Rel 3 adjusts the time
for Relay 3. Turn Anti-clockwise to increase time.
Relay 2 Min time = 0 seconds, max time = 1 minute.
Relay 3 Min time = 0 seconds, max time = 1.5 minute
Relay 4 has a delay associated to it called the Eng Stop Time, which is setup in the Controller
Menu on the FC-8000 (MDU). When the programmed time has elapsed Relay 4 will activate.
Example: If the solenoid on the extinguisher bottles is connected Relay 4 and the stop time is
set to 30 seconds, this would give a 30 second window for the fans and engine (connected to
Relay 1 & 2) to stop before the extinguisher is set off.
Relay 5 & 6 are associated with the manual extinguisher trigger cupboard door.
If the extinguisher trigger cupboard door is opened Relay 5 & 6 will activate. Relay 6 will stay
activated until the door is closed, Relay 5 will deactivate when the Mute key is pressed on the
FR-8000 (MDU). Example: Relay 6 connected to the evacuate engine room light and Relay 5
connected to a buzzer.
When a fire is detected in a zone that has been associated with the engine controller (FEC-6)
and the FR-8000 (MDU) is in Auto Mode the above will happen automatically.
Model FEC –1:
The FEC-1 is a single Relay unit, which could be used instead of the FEC-6 if only 1 Relay is
required. Example: To turn on the evacuate engine room light.
Model FR-100:
The FR-100 has two relays Relay 1 & Relay 2. Both Relay 1 and Relay 2 will only activate on
Fire detection. Relay 1 will de-activate when the alarm is muted while Relay 2 will stay
activated while Fire is displayed on the MDU.

Step 1: Placing the unit in Program Mode
Press and hold down the Mute & Select Up keys together for 3 seconds. This will bring you to
the Set-Up Menu and place the unit in program mode.
The display will show:
Scroll to PROGRAM ZONE and press the Ent key.
Step 2: Program Zone
The display will now show:
Use the Select Up or Down key to change the Input number, which corresponds to the Input
being programmed.
Once the Input number has been selected press the Ent key to accept.
Step 3: Selecting /Creating Zone Name’s
The display will now show:
Use the Select Up or Down key to scroll through the pre-named zone names. Once you have
found the one required press the Ent key.
If you would like to create your own name press the Mute key. Use the Select up or down key
to scroll through the alphabet and the Dim up or down key to change to the next character.
When finished press the Ent key.

For ease of reference please use the chart provided as this will enable quick
reference when programming the zone in the Display Unit.
PLEASE NOTE: You must use a different name for each zone, you can then change
that name but you MUST use a different name each time you program a zone.
Think of it as each zone has a memory look up position and in the memory position
is a name that the zone uses.

will stay activated until the door is closed, Relay 5 will deactivate when the Mute key is
pressed on the FR-8000 (MDU). If a FEC-1 is fitted the Relay will activate when the door is
open. The zone needs to be associated with either the Port or Stb (FEC-6) engine controller.
If there is only a FEC-1 fitted then you can choose either Port or Stb, as either will work.
The display will now show:
Use the Select Up or Down key to scroll between Port and Stb, (if the vessel is single engine
room then just select Port) and press the Ent key to accept.
