SAFETY INFORMATION & USE OF THIS MANUAL
WARNING: Read this section completely before commencing installation.
1.1 INSTALLATION INFORMATION
THIS FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL IS CLASS 1 EQUIPMENT AND MUST BE EARTHED.
This equipment must be installed and maintained by a qualified and technically experienced person.
This C.I.E. must be wired to a fused spur rated at 3A. It must NOT be connected via a removable plug, or be connected through an
RCD device.
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 such as an unpainted copper radiator pipe. You
should repeat the process at regular intervals during the installation process, especially if you are required to walk over carpets.
The panel must be located in a clean, dry position, which is not subject to excessive shock or vibration and at least 2 metres away
from pager systems or any other radio transmitting equipment. The operating temperature range is 0ºC to 40ºC; maximum
humidity is 95%.
HANDLING THE PCBS
If the PCBs are to be removed to ease fitting the enclosure and cables, care must be taken to avoid damage by static.
The best method is to wear an earth strap, but touching any earth point (e.g. building plumbing) will help to discharge any static.
Always handle PCBs by their sides and avoid touching the legs of any components. Keep the PCBs away from damp dirty areas, e.g.
in a small cardboard box.
1.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DURING NORMAL OPERATION OF PANEL
NOTE: When the Premier M Plus panel is operating normally, i.e. not being tended by service personnel, the access door must be
closed and locked. After locking, the key MUST be removed and ONLY held by the responsible person and / or the service
personnel. It must under NO CIRCUMSTANCES be held by the user.
1.3 BATTERY INFORMATION
This C.I.E. uses 2 x 12V Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries with capacities between 7Ah and 17Ah.
CAUTION:
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO BATTERY
MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS.
IMPORTANT NOTES ON BATTERIES:
DANGER: Batteries are electrically live at all times. NEVER short circuit the battery terminals.
WARNING: Batteries are often heavy. Each 17Ah battery weighs 6.1kg. Take great care when lifting and transporting batteries.
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.
1.4 PRODUCT DISPOSAL AT THE END OF ITS WORKING LIFE
Like all electronic equipment, at the end of its working life this unit should not be disposed of in a refuse bin. It should be taken to a
local reprocessing site as per the guidelines of the WEEE directive, for correct disposal.

2.2 PANEL DESCRIPTION & DESIGN CONCEPT
Figure 1: Plan view of Quatro panel showing internal view of populated enclosure on the right & inside of hinged door on the left.
The Premier Quatro panel is an analogue addressable fire alarm control panel designed to EN54 parts 2 & 4. It is available in 1, 2, 3
or 4 loop versions:
Premier Quatro 1 Loop Analogue Addressable Fire Alarm Panel
QT/1–37-500
Premier Quatro 2 Loop Analogue Addressable Fire Alarm Panel
QT/1–37-501
Premier Quatro 3 Loop Analogue Addressable Fire Alarm Panel
QT/1–37-502
Premier Quatro 4 Loop Analogue Addressable Fire Alarm Panel
QT/1–37-503
Each loop is capable of driving up to 125 devices. All Zeta addressable devices are compatible with the panel.
In addition to the loop devices, Premier Quatro has 2 conventional sounder circuits, a fire relay and a fault relay (C,NC & NO).
All loop devices and panel outputs are fully configurable. The cause and effect rules can be set up via the panel or a PC connected to
the panel (the latter is described in the Software manual). Cause & Effect rules (also known as Actions) can operate on 4 different
levels, i.e. panel, loop, zone and point. For example, Quatro can be programmed so that a fire in any zone can activate the sounders
in one or more zones. Another example is where a fire detected by a point at a specific address connected to one of the 4 loops can
result in an output (i.e. sounder or relay) being activated in another address on any of the loops. Rules that apply specifically to
certain types of point devices such as a manual call point or detector can also be programmed.
Instructions on how to configure the panel are given in Sections 11 and 17. The menu command structure is displayed in Section 18.

3. DESIGNING THE SYSTEM
The first consideration when designing the fire alarm system is the type or category of fire protection that is required for the
building. In the UK this is fully explained in the British Standard BS 5839-1:2002 + A2:2008. This contains guidance on how many
smoke detectors, heat detectors, call points, sounders etc. should be fitted for the type of coverage that is required.
Next decide on the number of loops of addressable devices that need to be installed. Quatro can be fitted with 1 to 4 loops. The
maximum loop capacity is 125 devices (also called points or addresses).
If the building requires more than 4 x 125 devices, then the control panels can be networked. The network capacity is 64 panels
(including repeater panels if required).
All fire alarm systems must be subdivided into zones, which represent the geographical areas of the building. Quatro allows any
number of devices to be allocated to a zone. However, it is assumed that a zone will not contain more than 32 fire detectors and/or
manual call points, since this would correspond to an unacceptably large search area.
Each panel may be configured to have between 1 and 20 zones.
Although a fire alarm system has to be subdivided into zones, the cause and effect actions applicable to Quatro can be based on
other groupings as well as zones. The other groupings are panels, loops and points. Cause and effect is described in the Section 17.
In order to gain the maximum benefits from Quatro, it is worth considering the types of sounder that can be connected to the
system before getting to the cause and effect configuration stage. These sounders and their respective advantages / disadvantages
are explained in Section 8.
Whenever possible, give each device as descriptive a label as possible. The better the description, the easier it is to locate in the
event of an alarm. The panel allows 22 characters. It may be necessary to use abbreviations to achieve the required label.
Keep the design of the system, and any changes to it well documented. This makes it easier to trace any configuration errors during
installation & commissioning.

4. FIRST FIX (FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL, CABLE & DEVICE BASES)
4.1 LOCATING THE FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL
The control panel should be installed in accordance with the following recommendations:-
The panel should be close to the main entrance of the building, so that it can be viewed by any fire-fighting personnel
entering the building.
It should be fitted to a sturdy wall that will not flex unnecessarily.
It should be mounted at eye level, in order for it to be viewed without need of a ladder.
It should be installed in a dry, weatherproof place, preferably NOT in direct sunlight.
It should be easily accessible, so that the responsible person can perform their regular fire alarm checks.
4.2 RECOMMENDED CABLE TYPES AND THEIR LIMITATIONS
All wiring must be installed to meet BS5839: Pt1: 2002 + A2:2008 and BS 7671:2008 (IEE Wiring Regulations) standards. Other
National standards of fire alarm system installation should be adhered to where applicable.
Screened cables should be used throughout the installation to help shield the Panel from outside interference and ensure EMC
compatibility.
The two categories of cable according to BS5839: Pt1: 2002 + A2:2008, Clause 26 “Fire Detection and Alarm Systems for Buildings
(Code of Practice for System Design, Installation and Servicing)” are:
Standard fire resisting cable –to PH30 classification of EN 50200 (including the 30 minute survival time of Annex E)
Enhanced fire resisting cable –to PH120 classification of EN 50200 (including the 120 minute survival time of BS 8434-2)
(Note that all cables should be at least 1mm2 cross section)
On the Premier Quatro Panel the general recommendation would be to use standard fire resistant cable, such as GLT Exports Fire
Defence Cable, Firetuff™, FP200 or an equivalent. These cables are screened, and will provide good EMC shielding when properly
grounded at the panel. Certain system specifications may demand the use of a particular type of cable and due regard should be
paid to this fact. For non-BS5839 installations, other cable types may be suitable.
Depending on the environment, the cables may need mechanical protection (such as a conduit).
4.3 MAINS WIRING RECOMMENDATIONS
The Mains supply to the FACP is fixed wiring, using Fire resisting 3-core cable (Between 1 mm² and 2.5mm²), fed from an isolating
double pole switch fused spur, fused at 3A. IT SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED THROUGH AN RCD. This should be secure from
unauthorised operation and be marked ‘FIRE ALARM: DO NOT SWITCH OFF’. The supply must be exclusive to the Fire Panel. MAKE
SURE ANY SPARE ENTRY HOLES ARE COVERED WITH THE GROMMETS PROVIDED.
For information on how to connect Mains to the Panel’s Power Supply PCB, see Section 6.
Also refer to rating information on the mains cover inside the FACP.

Issue: 1.33 Author: GW/NJ Date: 14/1/2013
5. MOUNTING THE FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL
The Premier Quatro comes with many cable entry holes. If another entry hole is required, it is strongly recommended that the panel
door is removed to avoid accidental damage. Also, the back plate which holds the loop cards and power supply should be removed
and stored in a safe place. This would also help while fixing the back box to the wall.
5.1 PLANNING CABLE ENTRY
Fig.2 below shows the location of the cable entries to facilitate planning of wiring to be brought to the panel.
The grommets can be easily removed by a push from inside the control panel box.
If a grommet is removed, fill the hole with a brass cable gland. If any knockout is removed, but subsequently not used, it should be
covered up.
The 230V AC Mains cable must be fed into the enclosure via one of the cable entries at the top right corner of the back box. (Refer
to “Connecting the Mains Power” in Section 6.1).
5.2 FIXING THE BACK BOX TO THE WALL
Figure 2: Plan view inside the enclosure without PCBs. Side view for surface installation. (Dimensions: mm)
Fix the enclosure to the wall using the three mounting holes provided (2 circular holes near the bottom of the rear face and one
'keyhole' near the top of the rear face).
Check the build and condition of the wall to decide a suitable screw fixing. The mounting holes are designed for No 8 roundhead or
countersunk woodscrews (or similar). Remove any debris from the enclosure. Take care not to damage the FACP during installation.
5.3 ADDRESSABLE LOOPS & DEVICE BASES
These are covered in more detail in Section 7. At this stage it is important to remember devices (e.g. detectors, call points, sounders
etc.) should not be fitted to device bases yet, if a high voltage “Megger” type tester is to be used to check for continuity of the loop
wiring.

6. CONNECTING MAINS & BATTERY POWER
6.1 CONNECTING THE MAINS POWER
Figure 3: Power Supply PCB layout and Mains connection details
The panel should be connected to mains supply by a 3A rated spur to the fuse box with 1mm2 to 2.5mm2 3-core cable. Nothing else
should be connected to this supply. The cable should be fire resistant. NB It is recommended that the mains cable should pass twice
through the ferrite supplied with the panel, to improve the panel’s immunity to electromagnetic interference. The ferrite should be
positioned between the mains entry port and the power supply cage.
The AC Live (L), Earth (E) and Neutral (N) connections are marked on the power supply cage (top right of Figure 3). It is essential
that the mains Earth cable is connected to the PSU’s Earth terminal. The incoming mains cable should be kept separate from the
loop cables to help minimise mains interference.
Once the mains is connected, the panel door should be closed BEFORE turning on the mains power. This will protect the installer
from the chance of receiving an electric shock.
MAKE SURE ANY SPARE ENTRY HOLES ARE COVERED WITH THE PLASTIC GROMMETS PROVIDED
It is advisable to apply power to the panel before connecting any devices, to check for correct operation, and to familiarise yourself
with the fire alarm panels controls.

The Premier Quatro can be fitted with between 1 and 4 addressable loop cards. One addressable loop can be connected to each
loop card. Addressable detectors, addressable call points, addressable loop powered sounders and several other interface units can
be fitted to these loops. A MAXIMUM OF 125 ADDRESSES CAN BE CONNECTED TO EACH LOOP. We recommend that the first and
last devices on a loop have isolator bases fitted. Also the last device on each zone should have an isolator fitted. This is to prevent a
short circuit fault in one zone affecting another zone. The screen cable at each end of the loop (not shown below) must be
connected to the loop card’s earth terminal.
Figure 5: Example of addressable loop wiring (top) & connections to loop cards (bottom)
A maximum of 64 sounders are permitted on each loop (which can be either stand-alone sounders or sounders in the bases of
detectors. A MAXIMUM OF 125 DEVICES CAN BE CONNECTED TO EACH LOOP, WITH ADDRESSES 1 TO 125 WHICH CAN OCCUR IN
ANY ORDER. Address 126 has a special use. It is not the address of any physical device, but is used for common base sounders (see
Section 8).
Short circuit isolators should be used to prevent losing the whole loop in the event of a single short circuit fault. They should be
fitted to each zone boundary, such that any short circuit will only affect the devices in 1 zone.

7.3 MAXIMUM LOOP LENGTH RECOMMENDATIONS
With an addressable system, some care must be taken when calculating the appropriate cable gauge for the system. The main
limitation is that during an alarm condition (maximum current draw), the voltage at all detectors must be at least 17 Volts with at
least 5V of superimposed data signal.
The exact calculation equations are beyond the scope of this manual, because of the distributed loAd of the sounders on the loop,
but the following table gives a rough guide for maximum cable lengths at various current loads for 3 different cable gauges.
MAXIMUM LOOP CURRENT (IN ALARM)
500 mA
400 mA
300 mA
200 mA
1mm CSA cable
500 m
625 m
830 m
1250 m
1.5mm CSA cable
750 m
930 m
1250 m
1870 m
2.5mm CSA cable
1000 m
1250 m
1660 m
2500 m
EG. A system with a maximum load of 300mA using 1.5mm cable can have a maximum loop run of 1250 m end to end.
7.4 SETTING THE DEVICE ADDRESS (DETECTORS, CALL POINTS, SOUNDERS & INTERFACE UNITS)
The device Address is set with a dip switch on the rear of the device.
1 7
65
43
28
ON
The Address setting is binary, with the ON position being binary
0 , and the OFF position being binary 1. Switch 8 is not used for
setting the Quatrodress, but sometimes has a device specific
function. (check instructions that came with the device)
If you are not familiar with binary, check the table on page 14,
or use the following rule:
Switch 7 off = Add 64
Switch 6 off = Add 32
Switch 5 off = Add 16
Switch 4 off = Add 8
Switch 3 off = Add 4
Switch 2 off = Add 2
Switch 1 off = Add 1
The example shown would be:
switches 6, 4 & 1 = 32 + 8 + 1 = Address 41

Issue: 1.33 Author: GW/NJ Date: 14/1/2013
8. SOUNDERS AND OUTPUTS
The Sounders* in Sections 8.1 to 8.5 can be directly or indirectly connected to one of the 4 loops on Premier Quatro:
8.1 ADDRESSABLE STAND-ALONE SOUNDERS
This type of sounder takes one of the 125 addresses available on each loop. The address is selected via DIP switches 1 to 7. It can be
activated individually, or in groups related to its zone number, loop number or panel number (as determined by the cause and effect
programmed). An example of this type of sounder is the Zeta Maxitone Addressable Sounder
8.2 ADDRESSED SOUNDER BASE
This consists of an addressable sounder in the base of an addressable detector. The sounder and detector are set to different
addresses, i.e. two devices are located at the same position on a loop but occupy two addresses. The correct operation of the dual-
addressed detector / sounder combination requires that DIP switch 8 of the sounder must be ON. A Securetone 2 Sounder can be
used as an addressed sounder base or, with the detector removed, as a stand-alone addressable sounder.
8.3 ASSOCIATED SOUNDER BASE
There are 2 types of associated sounder base:
a) This is the same combination of base sounder and detector as in 8.2 above, but this time DIP switch 8 is switched OFF, and
the address of the sounder in the base must be set to be the same as that of the detector. In this case the sounder is
hidden from the panel, as it does not have its own address, and the sounder will remain silent until the panel is told of its
presence. To tell the panel that a detector has an associated sounder, follow the commands that configure a detector’s
remote indicator (see Section 11.10). The sounder will now operate when the START SOUNDERS button is pressed, or
when the corresponding detector’s address is part of a “cause & effect” output.
b) There is another kind of base sounder which interfaces with a conventional detector. This is called the Securetone Micro
Addressable Sounder. It contains DIP switches to set its address, and a jumper connector which can be set to either the
smoke detector position or the heat detector position, depending on the type of conventional detector which is
connected. When the detector is triggered, the panel indicates a fire at the address allocated to the sounder, and displays
the type of detector at this address. As with 8.3 a), the sounder will not operate unless the remote output is configured.
8.4 COMMON SOUNDER BASE
The common sounder base is connected to an addressable detector, but does not take the detector’s address. Common sounders
are allocated an address of 126 and are placed in Zone 1. So if the panel is configured to turn on Zone 1 outputs during an alarm, all
common sounders will be activated.
There is also a Loop Common Sounder option. Instead of common sounders on all loops being activated as above, it is possible to
select individual loops for common sounder operation. If switched off, the common sounders on that loop will not sound during an
alarm (see also Section 18.2).
8.5 ADDRESSABLE SOUNDER CIRCUIT CONTROLLER
The Zeta addressable sounder circuit controllers (ZSCC & ZSCC/4) can be used to connect one or four conventional sounder circuits,
respectively, to one address on the loop. It needs external power to be supplied from a suitable 24 V power supply.
8.6 PCB CONVENTIONAL SOUNDER CIRCUITS
The terminations PCB has 2 conventional sounder circuit outputs, with a maximum capacity of 450 mA each. Please note that
conventional sounders should be wired as shown in the diagram below:
*The descriptions of sounders in this section also apply to flashers and combined sounder / flashers.
