1Introduction
1.1 General Information
The FirePro FP-08451 Fire Control Panel is a combined detection and extinguishant system,
and is compliant for use in both marine (AMSA NSCV) and vehicle installations (AS5062).
The FIP (fire indicator panel) incorporates:
-2x Detection circuits;
-1x Extinguishing Discharge circuit;
-1x Siren/Strobe circuit;
-1x Agent Release Notification circuit;
-Programmable Activation (automatic and/or manual);
-Fault Monitoring system;
-Isolation Function.
1.2 How Does it Work
All FirePro Aerosol Generators use the latest generation FPC solid compound. Upon activation,
the solid compound is transformed into a rapidly expanding, highly efficient gas, based on
Potassium salts. It does not deplete oxygen levels. The built-in fail-safe activation system
ensures operation of the generators when required, even if everything else fails. At 300⁰C the
FPC block changes to a potassium-based gas to extinguish the fire.
Ozone Depletion Potential (O.D.P.) = 0
Atmospheric Life Time (A.L.T.) = 0
Global Warming Potential (G.W.P.) = 0
Non-corrosive & Non-toxic
1.3 In Case of Fire
If a fire occurs, equipment operators should do the following:
1. Detection will initiate an alarm condition on the FirePro System
2. The siren/strobe will operate and if shutdown relays have been installed, equipment
shutdown will be initiated.
3. Evacuate all personnel from the risk area and alert the Fire Brigade.
4. Close all hatches and openings, and shutdown engines and any extraction fans or vents.
5. Manual Activation: Press and hold both mode switches continuously for 5 seconds to
activate the system.
6. Automatic Activation: The control panel will automatically begin the activation sequence
when fire has been detected on Circuit 1 Alarm.
7. Keep the FirePro suppression gas within the risk until the fire is extinguished and not able
to re-ignite.
8. Do not start engine or fans until the fire is extinguished. Operating the exhaust fans will
enable the gas to escape the risk area and could allow the fire to re-ignite.
9. Do not enter the risk until it has been rendered safe.
10.Recommended clean up after discharge is with soapy water and a cleaning agent based on
citric acid.
11.Following a discharge, replace all installed FirePro Generators and Thermal Fuse Couplings.

3Design Considerations
3.1 Power Supply Input
The FP-08451 Fire Control Panel provide a single power supply input that is compatible with
12 / 24vDC. If adequate power is not supplied, the LEDs will not be illuminated, and the
control panel will not operate. The main power supply should be connected directly to a battery
or power source, not through a distribution board. The main power must not be interrupted
if the vehicle/equipment is powered down. The FirePro Battery Lead (P/N FP-14016) may be
used to connect power to the control panel. If a secondary power supply is required for an
installation, the FP-08870/08871 Power Control Module will be required.
3.2 Agent Released Input
The Agent Released input provides an indicator to the operator to notify if the suppression
system has been activated. For the indicator to operate, the FP-08825 Thermal Fuse Coupling
must be used. Thermal Fuse Couplings are single use only. If the suppression system has
operated, the thermal fuse coupling must be replaced. If the Agent Release output is not
used, the circuit must be bridged out and sealed using the supplied deutsch plugs.
3.3 Siren/Strobe Output
The recommended siren/strobe is the Flashni Xenon Sounder Beacon. In a typical install, the
maximum number of supported sirens/strobes that can be installed is 5. When installed,
Siren/Strobes are to be clearly visible and audible at all points around the risk area.
The siren/strobe output is a monitored circuit. The supplied end-of-line diode (1N4004) must
be installed on the last siren/strobe in the circuit, otherwise the fire control panel will display
a fault. If a siren/strobe is not used, the supplied end-of-line diode (1N4004) must be
connected to the siren output using the supplied deutsch plugs.
3.4 Discharge Output
The maximum number of FirePro generators able to be discharged by the FP-08451 Fire
Control Panel is limited by the voltage of the main power supply. That is:
Voltage 12vDC Max = 2 Units
Voltage 24vDC Max = 4 Units
If a risk area requires a greater number of FirePro generators to be discharged than the
standard panel can provide, the FP-08850 Discharge Delay module can be used. The module
will discharge generators in multiples up to the maximum as above.
If the number of FirePro generators connected to each output is greater than the
maximum, the fire system will not operate.
When multiple FirePro generators are connected to a single output, they must be connected
using the FP-08919 Splitter Lead (see 3.9 Connecting Multiple FirePro Generators).
If a suppression system is not used, the supplied end-of-line resistor (3k3Ω) must be connected
to the Discharge output using the supplied deutsch plugs.

3.5 Circuit 1 Alarm Output
The Circuit 1 Alarm Output is a zoned detection circuit capable of operating up to 30
conventional detectors, 100 metres of linear heat detection cable or 30 manual actuators.
The Circuit 1 Alarm Output can be programmed for detection and alarm, or for automatic
discharge if an alarm is detected on this circuit (see 6. Programming).
The supplied end-of-line resistor (22kΩ) must be installed on the last detector or manual
actuator in the circuit, otherwise the fire control panel will display a fault. If detection is not
used, the supplied end-of-line plugs (marked green) must be connected to the Circuit 1 Alarm
output.
3.6 Circuit 2 Alarm Output
The Circuit 2 Alarm Output is a zoned detection circuit capable of operating up to 30
conventional detectors, 100 metres of linear heat detection cable or 30 manual actuator.
The Circuit 2 Alarm Output is a detection and alarm circuit only. When in alarm condition the
siren/strobe will operate, however the suppression system will not discharge until manually
operated.
The supplied end-of-line resistor (22kΩ) must be installed on the last detector or manual
actuator in the circuit, otherwise the fire control panel will display a fault. If detection is not
used, the supplied end-of-line plugs (marked green) must be connected to the Circuit 2 Alarm
output.
3.7 Mounting
For correct installation, the Fire Control Panel must be mounted by four bolts or screws through
the mounting holes in the flange on both sides of the Module. No penetrations are to be
made through the casing of the panel.
The Fire Control Panel enclosure is rated IP65, so should be installed in a convenient location,
away from where it may be affected by large amounts of water.
It is necessary to complete all wiring and any programming of the detection mode prior to
mounting the panel.
Dimensions and relevant clearances for installing the FP-08451 Control Panel are below. A
Dash Mount Bracket (P/N FP-08451B) is also available and may be used if the minimum
clearances cannot be met.

3.8 Cabling Requirements
When constructing extension leads the supplied Deutsch Plugs must be used to ensure water-
proof connections are made throughout the installation.
1. Cut cable to required length and strip outer insulation to approximately 25-30mm.
2. Strip inner insulation to approximately 6mm and using a Deutsch Crimping tool, fix pins to
the exposed ends of the cable, including the earth where applicable.
3. Place heat shrink over the end of the cable.
Identify correct socket on plug by the
numbers/letter on the side of the plug and
push through the gasket at the bottom of the
plug until a click is heard and the pin is locked
in place.
4. Place the locking mechanism inside the plug to ensure pins remain secure. (Male plugs;
locking mechanism is orange. Female plugs; locking mechanism is green).
5. Using the heat shrink, seal the back of the
plug.
Cables are colour coded for easy identification.
When installing system, cables should be only
connected to the correctly coded cable. Colour
Coding for cables is as follows:
3.9 Connecting Multiple FirePro Generators
If multiple FirePro Generators are being installed on a single output, they must be connected
using the FP-08919 Splitter Lead. The Splitter Lead enables the activation current to pass
uninterrupted to all connected FirePro generators and allows for continuous monitoring.
Splitter Leads can be installed at any point on the activation circuit and do not need to be
installed adjacent to the fire control panel or the discharge delay module. For ease of install,
servicing and more efficient field wiring, Splitter Leads should be installed in areas easy to

access and should be used to minimise the required extension leads, and to bypass obstacles.
4Installation
FirePro generators must remain disconnected until system is completed and fire control panel
is no longer in a fault or alarm condition. The FirePro Test Module (P/N FP-08800) can be used
to take the panel out of a fault condition.
Note: Any required extension leads must be constructed as per the instructions in 3.8 Cabling
Requirements.
Note: It is recommended that one circuit is installed and connected at a time to isolate the
cause of any faults that may occur during installation. The supplied End-of-line plugs and Test
Module may be used to keep the control panel out of a fault condition.
1. Power: When panel has been mounted in a suitable location, connect main supply power
using a FP-14016 Battery Lead to the power input (marked red).
Where a Power Control Module (FP-08870 / 08871) is used,
the battery lead should be connected to the “Primary Power
Supply” Input and the “Battery Backup” output to the control
panel. The internal battery connection will need to be
connected for the control panel to operate.
See FP-08870 / 08871 product manual for further
details.

2. Agent Released Circuit: The Thermal Fuse Coupling (P/N FP-08825) should be screwed
into the thermal port on one of the installed FirePro generators and connected to the control
panel.
3. Siren/Strobe Circuit: Mount the siren/strobe (P/N FP-08940) in a location where it is
visible and audible in all points with the risk area and connect to the “Siren” output on the
module (marked orange). If more than one siren/strobe is being installed, they are to be
connected using the secondary positive/negative terminals in the sounder.
The supplied end-of-line diode should be installed in the secondary positive/negative
terminals of the last siren/strobe in the circuit. The diode is polarised, so the positive lead
of the diode (marked with a grey band) should be terminated in the positive terminal of
the siren/strobe, otherwise a fault will occur on the fire control panel.
Where a Siren & Shutdown Module (FP-08860) is used, the module should be connected
to the “Siren/Strobe” output on the control panel. The siren/strobe should be connected
to the “Siren” output on the module (marked orange) and the relay connected using the
“Shutdown Relay” output (marked white). See FP-08860 product manual for
further details.

The Siren & Shutdown Module allows for programming of the delay prior to shutting down
equipment and for the relay to be set to either normally open or normally closed Note:
The Siren/Strobe or end-of-line diode must be connected for the relay to operate.

4. Circuit 1 Alarm Circuit: This circuit can be programmed for ALARM ONLY (operate
siren/strobe) or AUTOMATIC DISCHARGE (discharges suppression system and operates
siren/strobe). If detection is not used, the supplied end-of-line plugs (marked green) must
be connected to the Circuit 1 Alarm output.
-Manual Actuator: (P/N FP-14053) can be connected together in quantities up to 30.
If a manual actuator is being used for remote activation, it must be installed on Circuit
1 Alarm. The supplied end-of-line plugs (marked green) must be connected to the last
manual actuator in the circuit.
-Linear Heat Detection: Linear Heat Detection can be installed in lengths up to 100m.
Any terminations of cable must be enclosed using sealed, metal enclosures from the
LHD Install Kit (P/N FP-09511). P-Clips must be installed at intervals of 50cm maximum
to support the cable. The supplied End-of-line junction box must be installed on the
end of the cable.
-Detection Not Used: If detection is not used, the supplied end-of-line plugs (marked
green) must be connected to the Circuit 1 Alarm output.
