3 Cabling
3.1 Cabling Instructions
All wiring should comply with current IEE wiring
regulations (BS7671) or the applicable local wiring
regulations. Note also the requirements of EN54-14 for
cablingand interconnection of afiredetectionand alarm
system.
EMC Requirements: To meet the EMC requirements
of the European Directives, it is necessary to ensure
that a screened or metal sheathed cable is used.
Cable conductor size should be a minimum of 0.5mm2.
Terminals accept one 0.5 to 2.5mm2stranded or solid
conductor.
Cables should be brought into the back box through the
20mm knockouts provided on the top face. Refer to
Section 2.5.2 for details on preparing the knockouts.
Ensure that all openings in the back box are closed off
before connecting power to the panel.
Mains Supply
Thesupply to the panelmust beprovidedwith a suitable
andreadily-accessible,double-pole, mains-disconnect
device. The mains supply must be suitably fused and
rated according to the specifications.
Always ensure that the mains cables are brought into
the back box separately to the low-voltage wiring (refer
to Section 6.4 Powering the Panel). All low-voltage
cables should have a minimum 300Vac rating.
The termination of earth mains wiring must be done
before the termination of any external cable screens.
Cable Screen Wires
Cables should be screened. Screen wires should be
terminated inside the back box as follows:
a. Screen tails should be of sufficient length to connect
to the earth post (A) at the commissioning stage.
Once all screen wires have been terminated at the
earth post (A), use the M4 nut (B), spring washer (C)
and two plain washers (D) either side of the screen
wires to make sure a good earthing bond is created.
b. Useinsulationsleevingonthetailsbetween thecable
entry position and the earth post. Run the tails close
to the rear wall of the back box.
Note: In cases where all 8 zones are to be configured
andthere is a needtoreduce the number ofcable
screen tails being routed through the panel, an
alternative method is to fit a suitable earth block
(not provided). The fixing points (E) may be used
to mount the block. Provide a suitable cable
between this block and the earth post. Using
insulationsleeving,terminateallcablescreentails
at the earth block.
WARNING Risk of electric

3.3 EMC Considerations
Following the above instructions and by using suitable
screened cables EMC problems will be avoided.
Inparticularlydifficult EMC environments, or where non-
preferredcablingis used, it is possibletofitferritesleeves
to cables entering the panel, in particular the power
supply input, sounder and auxiliary output cables.
The ferrite sleeves (A) should be fitted over all the
conductor(s) and as close as possible to the entry point

- to hold the ferrite in position.
Ifadditionalferritesarerequired these can be purchased
from your supplier (ZIRCON/EN/SPARES).
3.4 Cables for Sounder Circuits
Whendesigning the sounder circuits, check that youare
usinganadequatecablediameter,consideringthecable
length, to ensure sounders operate within specification.
Example:
Sounder circuit output: 20.0V (min); 0.5A (max)
Sounder device spec.: 15Vdc (min); 20mA (depends
on tone used)
Cable type spec.: Pirelli FP200 Gold, 1.5mm2
core resistance:12.1R/km
(per core at 20°C).
Maximum number of sounders per sounder output
circuit:
= 0.5A / 0.020A = 25
Assuming worst case loading with all sounders at the
end of the cable:
Maximum cable resistance to ensure 15V:
= (20-15) / 0.5 = 10R
Maximum cable length that will ensure 15V minimum:
= 10 / (12.1+ 12.1) = 0.413km
If the sounders are more evenly distributed along the
lengthofthecable, then calculations will show thatlonger
cable lengths are permissable. After installation, the
following tests will confirm that your installation is
functional:
a. Activatethe sounders and measurethe voltagedrop
along the cable:
Vdrop = Panel Terminal Voltage - End-of-line Voltage
b. Subtract this from the mimimum terminal voltage
when on battery back up to give the minimum end-
of-line voltage (Veolmin):
Veolmin = 20 - Vdrop
The voltage must exceed the minimum specification of
the sounders, typically 15V.

EN54 & ISO 7240 2-8 Zone Conventional Fire Panel - Installation & Configuration Manual
4 Field Devices
TheFireControlPaneliscapableofworkingwithvarious
manucturer’s field devices (for compatible field devices
refer to Section 1 Introduction).
Each of these devices is supplied with an instruction leaflet
showingthecorrectinterconnectionsforvariousapplications.
Beforeconnectingthepanel or devices, the wiring should
be tested for insulation and continuity. Once any
components are connected, do not use a high-voltage
tester, such as a Megger, on the circuitry. Low-voltage
multimeters may be used.
CAUTION - DO NOT use a Megger on zone wiring with
detector heads removed (or fitted) as this will damage
theSchottky diodes fittedtothe bases and/ordetectors.
Some manufacturers fit a spring in the detector base
which can be used to manually short-circuit the diode
forwiringtesting prior to fitting detectors. Wherea spring
is not provided, use a link1to short out the diode. Refer
to the manuafacturer’s instructions provided.
1DO NOT forget to remove these links at the
completion of wiring testing.
4.1 End-of-Line Devices
The panel is designed to work with the following zone
circuit end-of-line (EOL) devices:
•A0.47µF capacitor, or
•A 4k7 resistor*
* This EOL device is not recommended for new
installationswherethelatestfielddevicesaretobeused.
The 4k7 resistor should only be used where the control
panelisbeinginstalledasafirecontrolpanelreplacement
and the existing field devices are to be retained.
Using the 0.47µF capacitor will reduce the size of the
standby batteries. Refer to Section 6.4.1 Batteries for
moreinformationonrecommendedbatterysizes.Where
zones are to use a mix of detectors and MCPs a 0.47µF
capacitor EOL device must be used.
Retrofit Installations
The4k7resistor EOLdevicesmayberetainedonexisting
installations.However,existingActiveEnd-of-Line(AEOL)
devices must be replacedwith a 0.47µF capacitor or the
additionalkit (ZIRCON/EN/CAPKIT)mustbefitted(refer
to Section 6.3 External Wiring for EOL device
compatibility issues).
Caution: To avoid inadvertantactivationofthe sounders
the panel must be re-configured to work with resistor
EOLdevices - Refer to Section 7.5.6 EOLDevice Type.
CAUTION
DO NOT use a Megger
on zone wiring with
diodes in circuit.
CAUTION
Replace AEOLs on existing
installations with a 0.47µF
capacitor or use Additional
kit (ZIRCON/EN/CAPKIT).
CAUTION
AEOL must be configured
or the panel may report
an alarm at power up.
