5.1 Electrical Safety
WARNING:
Prior to commencing installation of the
control panel, ensure that adequate
precautions are taken to prevent
damage to the sensitive electronic components on
the display board and the control board due to
electrostatic discharge. You should discharge any
static electricity you may have accumulated by
touching a convenient earthed object. You should
repeat the process at regular intervals during the
installation process, especially if you are required to
walk over carpets.
If possible, wear an anti-static wrist strap connected
to a suitable earth point when working on the panel.
The panel must be located in an area which
complies with the environmental specification
detailed in the T1200-C Application Manual and

IMPORTANT NOTES ON BATTERIES:
DANGER: Batteries are electrically live
at all times, take great care never to
short circuit the battery terminals.
WARNING: Batteries are often heavy;
take great care when lifting and
transporting batteries. For weights
above 24 kilos, lifting aids should be
used.
DANGER: Do NOT attempt to remove
the battery lid or tamper with the
internal workings of the battery.
Electrolyte is a highly corrosive
substance, and presents significant danger to
yourself and to anything else it touches. In case of
accidental skin or eye contact, flush the affected
area with plenty of clean, fresh water and seek
immediate medical attention.
Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries are
“low maintenance”, requiring no electrolyte top-
up or measurement of specific gravity.
WARNING: Only clean the battery case with a cloth
that has been soaked or dampened with distilled
water. Do not use organic solvents (such as petrol,
paint thinner, benzene or mineral spirits) or other
materials that can substantially weaken the case.
Do not use a dry cloth as this will generate static
electricity, which in turn may lead to an explosion.
WARNING: Avoid operating temperatures outside
the range of -15  C/5  F to +50°C/122°F for
float/standby applications.
The recommended normal operating temperature is
20°C.
HIGH TEMPERATURE will reduce battery service
life. In extreme cases this can cause Thermal
Runaway, resulting in high oxygen/hydrogen gas
production and battery swelling. Batteries are
irrecoverable from this condition and should be
replaced.
LOW TEMPERATURE will prolong battery life but
reduce output capacity.
DANGER: Do not incinerate batteries.
If placed in a fire, the batteries may
rupture, with the potential to release
hazardous gases and electrolyte.
VRLA batteries contain substances
harmful to the environment.
Exhausted batteries must be recycled.
Return them to the battery
manufacturer or take them to your
Council waste disposal site for
appropriate disposal.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY:
The volt-free relay contacts provided within the
panel must not be used to directly switch any
voltage that exceeds 30V. (Please also refer to
relay rating data).
A 9V battery is supplied fitted to the inside of the
door. This battery provides power to the buzzer in
the event of total power failure or display ribbon
disconnection. The connecting lead of this battery is
disconnected from the display board during
shipping.
1. DO NOT short circuit the battery terminals or
the connecting lead.
2. DO NOT remove this battery unless it
measures 8V or less.
3. DISCONNECT THE LEAD from the display
board BEFORE replacing the battery to avoid
accidental polarity reversal which may damage
the display circuitry.
4. ALWAYS secure the battery in the battery
holder with a Tie-wrap.
5. DO NOT use rechargeable batteries as these
will gradually discharge due to internal
resistance.
Some of the panels covered by this manual
require a 110 or 230V AC supply. Refer to the
equipment rating plate and T1200-C Application
Manual for detailed information.
All installation work should be carried out in
accordance with the recommendations of the
current edition of the IEE regulations by
suitably qualified and trained personnel.
This is an IEC Class 1 electrical
appliance and therefore must have
the chassis connected to an
electrical earth.

to the repeater. You can use two cores in the
data cable for this purpose only if the voltage
drop between the panel and repeater is not
more than 2Vdc.
Notes:
One repeater will draw up to 75mA which means
that the total resistance of the cable should not
exceed 24 Ohms (12 Ohms in each core). The
T1216W-C Application Guide lists cable types with
their nominal DC resistance.
If more than one repeater is required or the cable
resistance is too great, then data cable is
unsuitable for supplying power and a separate
suitable 2-core cable must be used.
Use only Plenum rated screened data cable with at
least three core-pairs to accommodate repeater
communication & Muster Interface options. 4 pairs
will be required if power is also being provided

5.4 Interconnections with the Water
Mist Relay Control Panel
The Water Mist Relay Controls Panel [WMRCP] is
supplied by Tyco Safety Product Korea.
This document assumes that the WMRCP is fully
and correctly installed and tested prior to carrying
out the final connections to the T1216W-C.
Before attempting access to the WMRCP to
carry out any modifications and connections
between the T1216W-C panel and the WMRCP,
ensure:
All the current technical documentation is
available for the WMRCP.
That the WMRCP is safe to work on and the
Water Mist System and any other plant or
equipment connected to or controlled by the
WMRPC is isolated/locked off and safe.
All necessary permits to work are in place.
The Engineer responsible for the
commissioning of the WMRCP system is
available and a procedure is in place which
includes the allocation of the various tasks
associated with carrying out the final
connections between the panels and testing
the T1216W-C--WMRCP system as a whole.
Any other vessel-specific precautions and
requirements are in place.
See Figure 19 and Figure 20 for details of the
interconnections between the T1216W-C and
WMRCP.
WARNING:
THE WMRCP CONTAINS HAZARDOUS
VOLTAGES.
5.4.1 Final Connections between the
T1216W and WMRCP
This procedure assumes that all interconnecting
cabling between the two panels has been correctly
installed, tested and the cores checked through and
identified at each end.
1. At the T1216W-C, ensure the panel is safe to
work on as described above.
2. Terminate the 15 cores for 14 zone fire signals
and common return into the appropriate
terminals in the T1216W-C. The 8 signal wires
for zones 1 to 8 should be connected to the
pole of relays 1 - 8 on the C1634 address 1.
[This is the left hand one of an adjacent pair of
C1634 output boards]. Signals for zones 9 to
14 should be connected to the pole of relays 1
- 6 on the C1634 address 2. [This is the right
hand one of an adjacent pair of C1634 output
boards].
3. The common return wire should be connected
into the normally open contact terminal on
relay 1A and a link should be installed to
common up all of the normally open contacts
on both C1634 boards. See Figure 20 for
details.
4. Record the identification numbers of each core
and its use [e.g. “Zone 1 fire signal”].
5. At the WMRCP, ensure the panel is safe to
work on as described above.
6. Identify the 15 cores of cable for each of the
controls. Using the WMRCP documentation,
connect each core into the appropriate
terminal on the WMRCP.
7. In the WMRCP, identify the terminals for
[Watermist] System Operated output signal [as
modified under section 5.3.2]. Connect 2 cores
to the appropriate terminals. Record the core
identification reference and circuit use.
8. In the WMRCP, identify the terminals for
[Watermist] System Abnormal output signal [as
modified under section 5.3.1]. Connect 2 cores

T1216W-C
MARINEW-P-I

PAGE 14 of 39
to the appropriate terminals. Record the core
identification reference and circuit use.
9. In the WMRCP, identify the additional fault
interface relay described in section 5.3.3. The
normally open relay contacts [relay de-
energised] should be connected to terminals 7
and 8 on TB2. Connect 2 cores of the field
cable to the relay coil. Record the core
identification references, circuit purpose and
polarity. [The core connected to the cathode of
the suppression diode will be the +ve core].
10. At the T1216W-C, identify the cable cores
connected to the WMRCP for the [Watermist]
System Operated and [Watermist] System
Abnormal outputs. Connect System Operated
to Z15+ and Z15- on the C1627 motherboard.
Connect System Abnormal to Z16+ and Z16-.
Polarity is not important.
11. At the T1216W-C, identify the cores for the
signal to the additional fault interface relay in
the WMRCP. Test the circuit to ensure the
cable is fault free and the cores are marked
with the correct polarity. Connect the cores as
follows:
Cable Core
T1216W-C Terminal on
C1627 Motherboard
positive
Aux DC 24V
negative
Fault Routing C/-
12. Install a wire link between Aux DC 0V and
Fault Routing terminal P.
13. Ensure that the 6-way link below the Fault
Routing terminals is removed to allow the relay
to operate as volt-free contacts.
14. This completes the connections required.
5.5 Replacing the Display Inserts
The display overlay is adhered to the display PCB
and is fitted with a series of text label inserts to
identify the various user controls and indications.
The inserts slip into pockets in the overlay and
provide a flexible method of providing foreign
language variants without affecting the overlay. The
panel is provided with one set of standard English
text inserts fitted. These inserts are reversible with
the rear blank to allow small volume language
variants to be typed. Since one of the panel’s
configurable options allows manual activation of the
fire alarms in either the Manual Fire Alarm or
Muster mode, an additional English text insert is
provided for the switch section –one side identifies
the top left hand switch and LED as “Manual Fire
Alarm” the other side identifies this switch as
“Muster”.
Additional double sided inserts may be supplied for
Chinese or Japanese applications.
5.5.1 To change the inserts
1. Isolate the mains supply to the panel.
2. Disconnect the batteries at the battery box.
3. The panel buzzer will sound continuously due
to total loss of power. Open the panel door.
4. Locate and disconnect the wire from the 9V
battery holder at J4 on the back of the display
board (bottom-centre). [The PP3 battery is
fixed to the display frame below the display
board]. The buzzer will silence.
5. Disconnect the buzzer lead from the display
board (either connected at the bottom (J5) or
top (J6).
6. Use an M3 box spanner to loosen and remove
the nuts and plain washers holding the display
frame. Store the nuts and washers safely for
re-fitting.
7. If the optional door stay is fitted then this will
need to be removed from the frame.
8. Remove the frame and store it safely.
9. To separate the display from the seal, carefully
apply moderate pressure to the front of the
display at the edge of the rectangular hole in
the door. Work progressively from the starting
point around the edge of the PCB back to the
starting point.
10. When the display PCB is free of the seal,
remove the PCB from the door studs. Carefully
work the PCB off the studs keeping the PCB
parallel to the door to prevent it jamming.
11. The insert tabs can clearly be seen projecting
from the edge of the PCB. Pull the tabs
carefully to remove the inserts.
12. To re-fit an insert, locate the gap between the
PCB and the overlay and slide a corner of the
insert in. Straighten the angle of entry, hold the
insert near the point of entry rather than at the
end and feed the insert down until the leading
edge of the insert is fully home.
13. Visually inspect the front of the display to
ensure the inserts are correctly located.
14. Re-fit the PCB to the studs on the door,
making sure that the display is the correct way
up.
15. Work the PCB down the studs keeping the
board parallel to the door to prevent jamming.
16. When the board is down on the studs, apply
light pressure around the outside edge of the
board to ensure it is correctly seated on the
seal.
17. Refit the frame with the battery located
towards the bottom of the door.
18. When the frame is fully down on the studs,
apply light pressure around the outside edge to
ensure it is correctly seated.

19. Refit the washers to all studs and then fit the
nuts loosely only.
20. Using the box spanner, carefully tighten each
nut down until it is just in contact with the
frame. Do not fully tighten at this stage.
21. Tighten each nut by turning the nut a quarter of
a turn. Press the frame against the enclosure
door using fingers only and check for any
slack.
22. Repeat step 21 until the frame is firmly seated.
Note –Over tightening the nut may cause
the stud to break away from the door.
23. Refit the door stay if previously removed.
24. Reconnect the 9V battery lead to J4 on the
rear of the display PCB.
25. Reconnect the buzzer lead to J5 or J6 as
appropriate. The buzzer will sound.
26. Reconnect the standby batteries at the battery
box and re-instate the mains power. After a
few seconds the panel will return to the
quiescent state.

5.5.2 To Fit the Optional Door Stay
1. A door stay is available as an option for the
T1216W-C panel.
2. A single door stay may be fitted to the door/back
box assembly during the installation of the panel
enclosure described in section 5.2.1. Also refer
to Figure 9–Door Stay Assembly.
3. Materials required –1 off T1200 Door Stay
Assembly kit [508.023.025].
4. Tools –ratchet socket set with 8mm and 10mm
sockets.
5. Locate the four fixing studs used to secure the
stay. Two M6 studs are located on the frame
holding the display board. These are used to
secure the door mounting bracket. Two M5
studs are located on the inner return face of the
back box at the bottom towards the door hinge.
These are used to secure the door stay
enclosure mounting bracket.
6. Offer the door stay door mounting bracket up to
the studs on the display frame as shown in
Figure 9 and fit one M6 washer and Nyloc nut
[supplied] to each stud. The nuts should be tight
enough to prevent movement between slider
assembly and door.
7. Adjust the door opening angle and the
orientation of the door stay arm so that the
enclosure mounting bracket can be fitted to the
studs on the enclosure. Secure with the M5
nyloc nuts provided. Tighten the nuts sufficiently
[with an M5 socket] to prevent any movement
between the bracket and the box.
8. Check the operation of the door stay. The door
should open to approximately 110 -120 degrees
allowing the sliding nut to spring into the latched
position latching the door open. To close the
door, push the door stay arm up to release the
door stay sliding assembly nut.

6. Commissioning
6.1 Introduction
The following equipment should be available where
possible to minimise commissioning time:
i. Two VHF/UHF Portable Radios or other
communication devices (for two engineers)
ii. Digital Multi-meter with accurate voltage &
resistance measuring capabilities
6.2 Commissioning Checklist
1. Before commissioning, the engineer should
check the following:
i) All field wiring has been inspected and
tested in accordance with manufacturer’s
wiring recommendations and all relevant
marine/local regulations.
ii) All field cables are wired into the control
panel enclosure through suitable cable
glands.
iii) Detector bases are terminated but detector
heads are not fitted. Any devices with
electronic components are not fitted.
Terminations to devices with electronic
components should be linked through to
maintain cable continuity.
iv) Manual Call Points are not connected but
cable is linked through to maintain
continuity.
v) No end-of-line devices (e.g. alarm circuit
EOL resistor) are fitted in the field.
vi) Remove configuration link J6, J7, J8
located on the C1627 motherboard directly
below the Fault [Routing] Signal output.
[Failure to remove this link before
powering up the panel will cause a fault
condition to occur].
2. The following information should be available to
the commissioning team:
Detection layout drawings.
Wiring schematic diagram.
Control Panel installation manuals.
Installation manuals for all equipment
connected to the system.
Vessel specific configuration details.
Technical documentation for the Watermist
Relay Control Panel.
Experience has shown that tracing wiring faults on
long circuits that are routed through risers etc. can
be difficult without knowledge of the wiring route.
It is recommended that the electrical installer be
made available until basic wiring continuity is
proven.
6.3 An Overview of the
Commissioning Procedure
Commissioning is broken in to 3 sections:
1. Pre-commissioning wiring check.
2. Powering the panel up with no field wiring
connected, configuring the panel in accordance
with the vessel-specific requirements and
carrying out a functional check.
3. Functional testing of all circuits and field devices
to check each circuit and function in turn to
ensure correct operation of the entire system.
In this way any faults may be located quickly and
accurately. The general procedures are as follows:
1. If alarm circuits have been used as part of the
system, they should be checked first by using
the Manual fire alarm function. The correct
operation of each sounder should be checked to
ensure that audibility levels meet the relevant
regulations.
2. Detection zones should be commissioned next.
The purpose is to establish the correct
functioning of each device and check for correct
indication at the control panel. The panel
responses [as configured] should be checked at
this time.
3. All ancillary inputs and outputs should be
commissioned and the functionality confirmed.
The interface with the WMRCP should be
commissioned at this stage.
4. Fire protection signals should be tested.
5. Fire and fault output signalling should be tested.
WARNING: Before testing, the engineer must be
aware both of the operation of all equipment
fitted to the auxiliary circuits and of the
consequences of their operation.
6.4 Pre-Commissioning Wiring Check
NOTE: This pre-commissioning wiring check
procedure should be followed to test all wiring
prior to specific commissioning of any
detection, alarm and auxiliary circuits.
1. Ensure that no devices are connected to the fire
detection zones and sounder circuits, but that
the cables are linked through at the device
locations to achieve a continuous circuit.
2. Ensure that the resistance of all cables to earth
and between cores is at least 2M.
Check the following:
i) Positive-to-earth resistance is 2Mor higher.
ii) Negative-to-earth resistance is 2Mor
higher.
iii) Positive-to-negative resistance is 2Mor
higher.
3. Connect a wire link as the end-of-line device on
each of the fire detection zones and sounder

T1216W-C
MARINEW-P-I
1 11/12
PAGE 18 of 39
circuits. At the panel end, measure the
resistance across the positive & negative ends
of the cables for each of the circuits; ensuring
the value does not exceed 20. Remember to
remove the wire links after the tests.
Correct polarity throughout all circuits must be
maintained. Check and rectify any faults.
4. All sounders, detector heads and call points
should now be connected and the correct end-
of-line devices fitted. Use the spare end-of-line
devices supplied and leave the EOL devices in
the panel terminals at this stage. Remember to
remove any links fitted to detector bases. Be
very careful to maintain correct polarity at each
device.
Warning:
Intrinsically safe zone arrangement:
1. Ensure that the installation has been carried out
in full accordance with the installation
documentation provided with the I.S. devices
and I.S. barrier. Failure to carry out the
installation correctly is likely to render the
system unsafe and risks causing an explosion.
2. End-of-line resistors with a value of 10Kmust
be used. Additionally, these resistors must also
comply with the requirements laid down in the
installation data sheets provided with the I.S.
barrier and the I.S. fire detection devices.
3. Any zones used for I.S. applications must be
configured to Intrinsically Safe mode. [Except for
mixed I.S./Non-I.S. zones as detailed below].
4. Recommended I.S. barrier - MTL5061/MTL5561
[galvanic type].
5. Mixed I.S and Non-I.S. Zones:
Where the Safety System Documentation
allows, zones can contain I.S. and Non I.S.
devices. The requirements of the Safety
Documentation must be applied and the number
of I.S. devices must be limited to 3 in total.
The I.S. devices must be located at the end of
the zone with the I.S. barrier located in an
adjacent safe area. All of the non-I.S. devices
must be connected in the zone wiring between
the barrier and the panel. The I.S devices
should be connected between the I.S. barrier
and the end of line.
The zone must be configured to the non-I.S.
mode [This simply sets the operating detection
thresholds and is not a safety issue].
The non-I.S. section [safe side - between the
panel and the I.S. barrier] will support full open
and short circuit fault monitoring and
detector/MCPs fire event discrimination. The I.S.
section (hazardous side - between the IS barrier
and the end of line resistor) will support open
circuit fault monitoring only - short circuit fault
will raise a detector fire. It will not support
detector/MCP discrimination; all devices will
raise a detector fire indication.
Intrinsically Safe alarm devices [sounders] may be
connected via an MTL 5021 or MTL5521 galvanic
isolator. There are no requirements for configuring
the panel’s sounder outputs. Note: Galvanic
isolators prevent fault monitoring of the
sounder circuit. Any cable fault between the
isolator and I.S. sounders will not be detected.
The 3k9 end of line monitoring resistor should be
connected across the barrier terminals 11 and 12
[i.e. in parallel with the sounder circuit input to the
safe area terminals on the IS barrier]. The
installation requirements supplied with the I.S.
barrier and the I.S. sounders must be fully
observed.
6.5 Powering up
Prior to powering up, the panel will have been
installed in accordance with the installation
instructions, all cabling will have been fully installed
and tested, glanded into the panel enclosure but
not connected to the panel terminals. The mains
supply should be isolated externally to the panel.
The interface connections to the WMRCP should
be isolated prior to powering up the T1216W-C.
1. Connect the 9V battery lead to J4 on the rear of
the display PCB.
2. Connect the buzzer lead to J6. The buzzer will
sound.
3. Check the 24V battery connections are correct.
4. Check the Fault Routing Output configuration
link (3-way link at J6, J7, J8) has been removed.
[Link located on the C1627 motherboard directly
below the Fault Signal relay].
5. Final battery connections:
Fit the connector on the end of the black lead
onto the negative (black) terminal of the left-
hand battery. Fit the connector on the end of
the red lead onto the positive (red) terminal of
the right-hand battery.
Connect the blue battery lead between the
positive (red) terminal of the left-hand battery
and the negative (black) terminal of the right-
hand battery.
Warning: Connection of the batteries will
power up the panel even if the mains
supply is not energised.
6. Ensure the mains supply is safely isolated
external to the panel. Remove the mains supply
fuse from the panel mains terminal block. Once
the permit to energise the mains supply is in
place, energise the mains. At the mains terminal
block in the panel, check the voltage and polarity
are correct. Isolate the mains supply again
before replacing the panel fuse and finally re-
energising.

7. If all the end of line devices are correctly
terminated in the panel and the 24V battery is
OK, the panel should be silent, displaying only
the Power Supply On indication.
8. Turn the Access keyswitch to “1” and press the
Test Display button. The panel should respond
by lighting all indications and sounding the
buzzer. This will continue for 5 seconds after the
button is released.

7. Operating the Engineer’s functions
7.1 Engineer’s Zone/Output
Configuration Process:
Various programmable configuration options
associated with the zonal inputs and outputs can be
enabled & disabled by operating the appropriate
DIL switch located within the panel enclosure.
These are:
oConfigure one or more zones for use with I.S.
barriers/isolators.
oConfigure zones as latching/non-latching fire
indication.
oConfigure outputs to be delayed.
NOTE: The delay feature does not comply
with the requirements of EN54-2.
oConfigure Machinery Space Zones.
7.2 Zone or Output Configuration:
1. Select a programmable configuration mode:
oEnable the controls on the display, by turning
the Access keyswitch on the panel display to
the “1” position.
oIf the panel is in the fire alarm condition,
silence the alarms and reset.
oOpen the panel door and locate the
appropriate DIL switch on the motherboard
[Config Non-latch Zones; Config I.S. Zones;
Config Delay O/Ps] and move the required
switch to the ON position.
The CONFIG ENABLED LED on the
motherboard will illuminate. If the LED
pulses then an invalid configuration option
has been selected.
The Panel’s System Fault LED will flash
and the buzzer will operate.
The Select LED on the front of the display
will pulse unless an invalid configuration
option has been selected.
Any standing fire or fault alarm indications
and associated outputs will be inhibited.
If active, the indications for evacuation,
silence buzzer, delay on or disablement
indications will clear.
The panel will indicate the current status of
the selected programmable configuration
mode on the yellow fault/disabled LEDs on
the Zones, Sounders, Fire Routing and Fire
Protection outputs.
A steady indication denotes that the
zone/output is already configured to the
selected mode.
No indication denotes that the zone/output
has not been configured to the selected
mode.
oClose the panel door to allow access to the

T1216W-C
MARINEW-P-I

buttons on the display.
2. Select a zone or output to be configured:
oOn the panel display, press the Select On/Off
switch to enable the Cursor Select Mode.
The Select LED will become steady and the
panel buzzer will silence.
A pulsing indication [cursor] will appear
either on the Zone 1 Fault/Disabled LED or
the Sounder Fault/Disabled LED/Test
depending upon which configuration DIL
switch is selected.
oUse the Select ↑ and Select↓ buttons to scroll
the cursor indication through the selectable
options:
For zonal configuration, through all zones
sequentially in forward [Select↓] or reverse
[Select ↑] sequence starting at zone 1.
For Output Delay configuration, through
Sounders, Fire Protection and Fire Routing
outputs in forward [Select↓] or reverse
[Select ↑] sequence starting at Sounders.
3. To change the configuration of a selected
zone or output:
oWith the cursor flashing on the selected zone
or output:
Operation of the ENABLE button will set the
configuration for the selected zone/output
causing the associated fault/disabled LED
to illuminate steady (with flashing cursor).
Operation of the DISABLE button will clear
the configuration from the selected
zone/output and restore normal operation.
The fault/disabled LED will clear (with
flashing cursor).
Move the cursor to each required zone/output in
turn and press ENABLE or DISABLE as
required.
4. To quit the programmable configuration
mode:
oTo return the panel to normal operating mode
applying the updated configuration:
Open the panel door and return the
selected Config DIL switch on the
motherboard to the OFF position.
The CONFIG ENABLED LED on the
motherboard will clear, the panel buzzer will
silence and the flashing System Fault
indication and zone/output configuration
status indications on the display will clear
as will the cursor and the Select indications.
Any current alarms, disablements, will be
re-indicated along with any active status
indications [Delay on etc.].
oClose and lock the panel door.
oReturn the ACCESS keyswitch to the “0”
position to disable the controls on the display.
IMPORTANT NOTE: WHILE THE PANEL IS
IN THE ENGINEER’S ZONAL/OUTPUT
CONFIGURATION MODE, ALL ZONAL
INPUTS ARE IN PERMANENT RESET AND
OUTPUTS ARE INHIBITED –THE PANEL
WILL NOT RESPOND TO ANY FIRE ALARM.
