SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

F3200/NDU AS4428.1 Installation Manual Document No: LT0255
System Description
Page 2-2 5 July 2016 Issue 1.22
2.1 OVERVIEW
2.1.1 GENERAL
The F3200 is a self-contained, modular, intelligent Fire Indicator Panel (FIP) which performs
the functions of the Control and Indicating Equipment (CIE) as specified by the Australian
Standard AS4428.1.
It has a high degree of flexibility and expandability, catering for medium to very large
buildings from 8 zones or less, to 64 zones maximum. Refer to the constraints specified in
Section 3.1.3. More panels and zones can be added through the use of the Panel-link
Network and the appropriate networkable F3200s.
An NDU (Network Display Unit) is essentially a networked F3200 that doesn’t have any
alarm zone or relay modules, but displays information received from other FIPs on the
network. A number of versions are available. Some in larger cabinets have their own
MAF/PSU and battery, while other slim-line versions have just the Operator Display (and
Controller) and require power from a FIP (or similarly monitored and battery backed source).
An NDU may be programmed to operate in either Australian (default) or New Zealand Mode.
2.1.2 DETECTOR CIRCUITS
The F3200 detector interface electronics caters for a wide range of detectors, including
various types which have high alarm current requirements. A full range of compatible
detectors is listed in Appendix A. F3200 also caters for interfacing to:
Intrinsically safe circuit barriers/isolators (hazardous areas);
Long line circuits e.g. from a sub-indicator FIP;
Tamper-proof circuits e.g. for water valve supervision.
2.1.3 DISPLAYS
The primary display of the F3200 is a 2 line by 40 character LCD on which the status
messages and prompts are shown. The LCD has backlight illumination which is turned on
when there is an alarm or operator interaction. Common conditions are displayed on 9 LEDs
adjacent to the LCD.
The display panel composed of the LCD, common LEDs and keypad is called the Operator
Display panel. The portion within the red border is called the Fire Fighter's Facility (FF). It
includes the common status LEDs for ALARM, ISOLATED and FAULT. As an optional
extra, individual zone status (ALARM, ISOLATE and FAULT) can be displayed on LEDs by
fitting the appropriate number of 16 Zone LED Display boards. By default Zone 1
corresponds to the top row of LEDs (3) on the left most display, Zone 2 to the row below it,
etc, (top to bottom, left to right). Display Bds may also annunciate Relay status. Alarm LED
on = relay energised, Isolated LED on = relay isolated, Fault LED on = relay wiring fault (i.e.
supervision fault). The relay LEDs simply follow the zone LEDs in the same order that they
occur in the FIP. For example, a system with 3 x 8 Zone Modules, 2 x 8 Relay Modules,
would require 3 Display Bds. Relay 1 will be annunciated on the 25th row of LEDs and the
last 8 rows will be unused. Mapping zones and relays to LEDs in other patterns is
programmable.
The F3200 electronics includes, as standard, an open collector transistor output for each
zone which can be used to drive an internal or remote mimic display.
An NDU in New Zealand mode may have an additional 3 system status indicators on the
NZ Display Extender board fitted. This provides the Fire, Defect, Normal LEDs, and also
connects to a Termination Bd which accepts the NZ specific inputs and outputs including the
Trail Evac and Silence Alarms key-switches.

System Description
Page 2-4 5 July 2016 Issue 1.22
2.1.4 OUTPUTS
The F3200 MAF/PSU Module provides 7 relays as standard. These are used for signalling
to the Brigade (Monitoring Service) and for switching the External Bell, Warning System and
ancillary equipment such as door holders, air-conditioning shutdown, etc.
When more than 7 relays are required, additional sets of 8 can be added by fitting 8 Relay
Modules.
All outputs, including the open collectors on the 8 Zone Modules, are individually
programmable by a logic equation of zone and FIP status. The default configuration (link
setting and programming) dedicates 4 of the 7 relays (Alarm, Isolated, Fault and Standby,
commonly called the MAF relays) to interface to the ASE (Alarm Signalling Equipment), 1
(labelled Anc2) to drive the External Bell (EB), and 1 (labelled Anc3/Bells) to drive the
Warning System (WS). The MAF Standby relay has electronics which forces it to de-
energise at the Battery Very Low voltage, and this must be considered if using if for any
function other than its default one.
2.1.5 POWER SUPPLY
The F3200 has a 3 Amp battery charger/power supply as standard. There is adequate room
for large batteries. Versions are available that have a 6 Amp PSU.
2.1.6 REMOTE DISPLAYS & PRINTER
A serial port (RZDU protocol) is included in the F3200 and NDU that provides a 3 or 4 wire
link to up to 8 Remote Display Units (RDU). Several versions of RDU are available.
The most commonly used versions have small, slimline cabinets (flush and surface
mounting) not much larger than the F3200 display-keyboard which is fitted on them. They
receive power from the F3200 FIP or NDU. Other versions look like an F3200 FIP, have
their own power supply, and may have LED Display Boards fitted to them.
Additional mimic-only devices can be connected to the RDU output to monitor the F3200
zone status. For example, IO-NET can be used to provide floor mimic panels, AS1668
interfaces or remote outputs for evacuation panels.
For a networked system, an RDU can display (and control) only the zones and relays of the
FIP to which the RDU is connected. With appropriate programming, such an RDU could be
used to isolate the Warning System of that FIP, and hence isolate the Warning System
across the entire network.
2.1.7 LOGGING PRINTER
A serial printer may be connected to the F3200 or NDU to provide a log of events and
operator actions, and also to print the programmed database.
Events which are printed include:
(i) Zone Events, e.g. Alarm, Fault;
(ii) Zone Commands, e.g. Reset, Isolate;
(iii) System events, e.g. communication failures, battery faults, etc.
The printout includes the time and date, the cause of the event (e.g. Zone, Relay, RDU or
FIP), and the event type. Events and commands for zones and relays that have a text name
programmed also have the name printed. F3200 is able to store at least 100 events for
printing, being the first 100 events to occur.
As events are printed, more events are able to be put into the list. If events cannot be put
into the list because it is full, the FIP keeps a count of those events it has had to discard.

System Description
Issue 1.22 5 July 2016 Page 2-5
LOGGING PRINTER (CONTINUED)
When the FIP is next able to put more events into the list, it prints out the number of events it
had to discard.
For a networked system, with appropriate programming, an F3200 panel (or NDU) may print
events and accumulate history for some or all of the other panels on the network.
2.1.8 NETWORKING CAPABILITIES
A number of F3200 fire panels, NDUs and other Panel-link compatible devices may be
connected together to form a large distributed system. With suitable programming events
may be annunciated at, and controlled from, other panels on the network. A panel (or NDU)
may be set up as a main panel to provide a common monitoring service connection point
with display and control of all facilities on the network.
The F3200 can be networked in a variety of ways:
- Dual channel RS485 links using the FP0795 kit.
- Ring RS485 using the FP0771 I-HUB.
- IP over fibre-optic cable using the FP0986 PIB and Moxa Ethernet switches, or over
copper wire pairs by adding 2 x Westermo Ethernet Extenders per cable pair.
The F3200 system supports the addition of colour graphics display and control terminals on
the network. These units can be programmed to show graphical displays on zone alarm or
fault conditions. The operator can use function keys or an optional touch screen to generate
commands to the F3200 and thus have remote control of it.
2.1.9 GASEOUS FIRE EXTINGUISHING PANELS
A range of F3200 panels are available specially assembled and programmed for gaseous
fire extinguishing applications complying with AS4214.

2.2 PHYSICAL STRUCTURE
The F3200 has a rugged, lockable painted steel cabinet, which houses 19 inch rack-mount
equipment and comes in two height options (both have the same width and depth). The
standard cabinet accommodates 15U total and the small cabinet accommodates 8U (where
1U = 1 3/4" = 44.5mm).
The Operator Display has a screened, polyester overlay mounted on a hinged inner door
fitted to the top 4U position. The Controller/Display pcb mounts directly to the rear of this
door.
Standard Cabinet
In the standard cabinet the space below the 4U Operator Display panel is covered by a
blanking plate, but there is provision for mounting other equipment (e.g. a 7U hinged inner
door for a mimic, or 16 Zone LED Display Bds), in place of this blanking plate.
There is provision for mounting additional equipment in the bottom 4U (e.g. an ASE rack),
but this might encroach on battery space.
The outer door has a large acrylic window to allow viewing of the equipment inside.
Four versions of FIP are available in this cabinet. The FP0781 and FP0783, which cater for
up to 64 zones, have a Cardframe fitted to the rear wall as shown in Fig 2.2.1. The FP0780
and FP0782 have provision (PCB stand-offs) for mounting up to three 8 way modules (i.e. 3
x 8 Zone or 8 Relay Modules) on the rear wall. All of these panels are supplied with one 8
Zone Module fitted.
Small Cabinet
In the small cabinet, only 1U (of the 4U) below the 4U Operator Display is visible through the
outer window. The gap is covered by a blanking plate (2U), which can be replaced by a
bracket for mounting a limited range of equipment, e.g., a 1U ASE bracket, or a 1U 1 Zone
Gas Control Panel.
A 6A PSU or a 7U LED Display door cannot be fitted, but the 4U 80 zone door (ME0457)
can be (note reduces battery space).
Up to four 8 way modules can be mounted on the rear wall, but the bottom two of these
share space with the batteries. Mounting arrangement and maximum capacity are shown in
Fig 2.2.2.

2.3.2 INTER-CONNECTION & STRUCTURE
A basic F3200 system has one Controller/Display, one MAF/PSU, and one 8 Zone Module,
all connected by Flat Ribbon Cable (FRC) on a common Input/Output (I/O) Bus.
Additional 8 Zone Modules and/or 8 Relay Modules can be fitted to the I/O bus, with a
maximum of eight 8 way modules. This is shown in the block diagram of Fig 2.3.1.
The physical maximums are:
three 8 way modules in an FP0780 or FP0782.
four 8 way modules in an FP0784 (with restrictions)
eight 8 way modules in an FP0781 or FP0783.
Expansion is from top to bottom.
The I/O Bus Out of one module connects to the I/O Bus In of the next module via the 20 way
FRC provided (LM0053). No link or "End of Bus" is required on the last module.
To further extend these capabilities, up to 64 F3200s may be networked together, with full
sharing of information and remote control of each panel by a master panel.
16 Zone LED Display Bds are driven from a separate serial bus on the Controller/Display.
They receive power from the MAF/PSU via two power leads. Where more than one is
required they are connected in series (up to 4 maximum) from right to left (as viewed from
the front) on the FIP. The 26 way FRC from J13 of the Controller goes to J1 ("From
Previous") of the right hand Display Bd. Zone 1 (default) corresponds to the top LEDs on
the left hand Display Bd. The last board requires the "end of bus" Minijump connector to be
fitted. Note that a special FRC cable is required to connect the Controller Board to the first
Display Board (LM0092).
Where LED Display Bds are fitted, the default programming requires one Display Bd (16
zones) for every two 8 Zone or 8 Relay Modules, i.e. one for 1-16 zones, two for 17-32
zones, etc.
Zone 1 corresponds to the top row of LEDs on the left most Display; Zone 2 to the row below
it, etc., (top to bottom, left to right).
LED Display Bds may also annunciate relay status, i.e. Alarm = relay energised, Isolated =
relay isolated, Fault = relay wiring fault (i.e. supervision fault). The relay LEDs simply follow
the zone LEDs in the same order that they occur in the modules. E.g. a system with three 8
Zone Modules and two 8 Relay Modules would require 3 Display Bds. Relay 1 would be
annunciated on the 25th row of LEDs and the last 8 rows would be unused.
Mapping zones and relays to LEDs in other patterns is programmable.
