Notes to the installer
Checks
qThe control panel relies on the
mains input fuse (FS1) and the
non-resettable thermal fuse
(within the transformer) for short
circuit and for over current pro-
tection.
qThe wires between the
termination point and terminals
should be short and straight
as possible.
qThe cables of the fire detection
and alarm system and other
systems should be separated
by at least 160mm, unless dedi-
cated conduit/ ducting is used.
qDo not use any part of building
structure for earthing.
qThe cable length between the
Repeat LED unit and respective
fire detector where used ,
should not exceed 10m. This
must be included in total cable
length of zone
qCable Glands should be used
on the equipment for the mains
supply cable.
qUnused knockouts on enclosure
that have been removed, should
not be left open.
Requirements
The installer should follow the
general requirements of:
BS5839:Part 1:1988, which is
the code of practice relating to
the fire detection and alarm
systems for buildings.
the relevant parts of the
BS 7671 Requirements for
Electrical Installation Institute of
Electrical Engineers Wiring
Regulations 16th edition.
Second fix installation
To prevent the possibility of
damage or dirt degrading the
performance or appearance of the
System products,the installation of
second fix items should be
delayed until all major building
work in the area is complete.
Fixtures and fittings
It is the installers responsibility to
provide:
adequate fixtures and fittings
for the type of construction
surface onto which a product
is to be installed.
as an aid to this decision, the
weight and overall size of
each full assembly together
with implications on cable
entries and routing should be
taken into consideration.
NOTE: These procedures
assume that cable, gland, steel
BESA box and related items
are provided by the installer.
As fitted wiring drawings
The installer should acquire:
site specific information from
the interested parties, for
details on the location of
products for installation
the acquired information
together with this guide and
the relevant standards should
be used to assist the work.

Earth continuity
To maintain earth continuity, the
cable screen must be continued
through each system device,
whether the earth is connected to
a device or not.
Panel fixing
a) Remove panel from its
packing, but retain the carton
for storage of spare parts and
loose items.
b) Store the front panel (including
the electronic assembly) and
metal plates in a safe place
until later.
c) Check the spares parts
supplied with those listed in
Table 1. If replacement parts
are required at any time, only
spares that are of the same
specification should be used.
d) Remove the appropriate
knock-in on the panel case for
cable entry.
e) Hold the panel on the wall in
the desired mounting position
and mark the positions of the
fixing holes. See Figure 3 for
case fixing details.
f) Secure the panel to the wall
using suitable fixing. A top
centre keyhole fixing is
provided on the case to allow
the panel to be hooked whilst
the bottom two fixing points are
located.
NOTE: For details of flush fixing
the panel see Figure 6.
g) Connect the mains supply
cable to the panel. The cable:
must be through one of the
dedicated cable entry into the
panel
must be via an unswitched
fused spur unit, rated 5A for
the 1&2 Zone Control and
Repeat panels and 7A for 4&8
Zone panels.
The fused spur isolator cover
should be red and marked:
FIRE ALARM - DO NOT SWITCH
OFF
The fused spur units must be
fed from a dedicated isolation
switch used for the fire alarm
system only.
h)
Wire the system. With the
exception of mains cable, all
other cables should remain
unconnected at the panel. For
the unconnected cable leave
300mm tail wire length and
mark each core identifying its
final point of connection.
The system wiring can be
tested whilst not connected to
the respective terminals at
each system device.
CAUTION: DO NOT
undertake high voltage
insulation tests WITH THE
CABLES CONNECTED to
their terminals. Such a test
may damage the electronic
circuitry in the system
equipment.
i) Fit the front panel (including
the electronic assembly) onto
the panel using four M3 screws
and connect the transformer
and earth cables, see Figure 4.
NOTE: The transformer cables
are not polarised.
j) Attach the top and bottom
metal plates using four M3
screws, see Figure 4.
NOTE: Each panel terminal will
accept a maximum conductor
size of 2.5mm
2
.
NOTE: The installation of all
outstanding parts are usually
carried out during
Commissioning of the System.
k) Store all spare parts and loose
components including the
batteries inside the panel
carton and keep in a safe place
until required.
Repeat panel Installation
The installation is as for the main
panel with the following difference:
qThe repeat panel cables are
fed through the cable entries on
the right hand side of the panel.
NOTE: The repeat panel mains
supply must be fed via a 5A
fused spur unit.
NOTE: The cable link from

alarm sounders to be activated
from a remote position.There is no
indication at the panel of class
change push button operation,
see figure 12.
Common Fire and fault
The common fault output is a
normally closed electronic switch,
which opens with a fault condition.
The common fire output is a
normally open electronic switch
that closes with a fire condition,
see figure 10.
Day/Night Operation
In Night mode there is no delay
between detection of a fire and
sounding of alarms. The panel will
upon detecting a fire:
qIlluminate the Common Fire and
appropriate Zone Fire indicators
qSound the internal buzzer and
start the sounders.
In Day mode there is a delay
between detecting a fire and
sounding the alarms to enable the
fire to be investigated. The panel
will upon detection of a fire:
qIlluminate the Common fire
lamp and appropriate zone fire
lamp.
qCause the panels internal
buzzer to emit the fire tone.
qActivate the common fire and
auxiliary outputs.
qDelay the activation of the
sounders for a configurable
delay of between 1 and 10
minutes in 1 minute steps.
If the panel is reset during the
delay period, the delay is
cancelled.
If another fire occurs in a
different zone to the first fire, the
output circuits activate
immediately.
False alarm rejection
qThis is an enhanced fire
detection algorithm designed
to give greater immunity to
spurious alarms.
qThe algorithm should only be
used in conjunction with rec-
ommended detectors to guar-
antee that the system will
reject spurious events but will
detect and annunciate real
fires within 10 seconds.
(EN54-part 2 requirement)
qWhen set, the algorithm
applies to ALL zones on the
panel.
NOTE: The auxiliary contacts
do not operate in the Test
Modes.
Sound level test
Sound level tests should be
conducted to standard
requirements and to customer
satisfaction.
Other equipment tests
Where external equipment is
connected to the control panel
using auxiliary, common fire and
fault terminals, then these must
be tested to project requirements.

User Responsibility
It is recommended that the
persons responsible for the fire
alarm system, should become
familiar with the procedures on
how to operate the controls and
interpret indications given at the
control and repeat panels.
Adequate training should also
have been given from appointed
personnel.
Daily
The British Standard code of
practice for Fire detection and
alarm systems for buildings,
BS 5839:Part1:1988, states that
the system should be inspected
daily to ensure that a normal
indication is given at the control
and indicating equipment and that
any previously indicated fault
condition has received appropriate
attention.
a) It recommends entry into the
Log Book provided of all the
system events for future
reference.
b) The person inspecting the
protected premises can ensure
that the use of the area(s)
inspected has not changed
such that the detection and
alarm devices have become
inappropriate.
c) The area(s) can be inspected
to check that no unsafe
practices that could lead to fire
are being undertaken.
Weekly
At Weekly intervals a different Fire
detector or Manual Call Point of
the system should be tested to
ensure the system is capable of
operating under alarm condition.
a) The operation of the alarm
sounders should be checked,
which also provides a regular
reminder to those occupying
the premises that there is a fire
alarm system with a particular
characteristic sound.
b) The test should be performed
at a regular time to avoid
confusion between a test and a
genuine fire alarm.
Quarterly
At quarterly intervals the system
should be inspected and any work
necessary should be performed by
a trained maintenance engineer.
Battery Replacement
NOTE: Any servicing work on
the System must be carried out
by a servicing organisation.
Under normal operating conditions
the maintenance free lead acid
batteries in the Control and
Repeat panels can have a useful
life of up to 5 years from the date
of manufacture.
NOTE: It is recommended that
these batteries are replaced at
4 Yearly intervals from the date
the System is first
commissioned.
CAUTION: The batteries should
only be replaced by trained
service personal.

Testing a Manual Call Point
Push the test key through the hole
in the underside of the call point to
engage the test cam mechanism
and push to operate the cam
mechanism.
At this point the test key is
retained in the call point and
pulling it out will reset the glass.
NOTE: The alarm sounders in
the system will be activated by
this test. To silence alarms
and reset the system, see
operating instructions.
Replacing a broken Glass
WARNING: Take appropriate
precautions when clearing
broken glass to prevent
injury.
NOTE: A weather resistant
version of manual call points
will have two gaskets, a
Cover/glass gasket and a
Spacer/cover gasket, which must
be installed in their respective
position.
These procedures assume the
cover on the manual call point is
open and any broken glass has
been cleared.
a) Insert the glass beneath the
opaque slider x and locate
bottom of the glass into recess,
ensure the thumb wheel is up
as shown..
b) Place the test key on the cam
(thumb wheel) y.
c) Fit the call point cover by
hooking it into the top of the
unit. Make sure that the glass
is properly seated (held down).
Withdraw the test key from the
call point z and then use it to
fit the screw { securing the
cover to the back box.

EN54 Specification
What is EN54 (specifically
parts 2 & 4)?
EN54 is the name of a new range
of Europe-wide standards for fire
detection and alarm equipment.
The intention is to create a unified
set of standards for all of the
countries in the EEC. Thus as
parts of the standard are
published, each country must
replace any relevant existing
standards with EN54.
EN54 part 5 (Heat Detectors) and
EN54 part 7 (Smoke Detectors)
have been published for some
time and all detectors/sensors
meet the requirements of these.
EN54 part 2 relates to Control and
Indicating Equipment and EN54
part 4 relates to Power Supplies.
Thus most control panels must
comply with both parts.
EN54 parts 2 & 4 were published
as a British Standard in April 1998.
European law states that any old
standards must be withdrawn
within 12 months of a new
standard being published. Thus
BS5839 part 4 was withdrawn as a
British Standard in April 1999.
LPCB certification to BS5839 part
4 will continue for 36 months after
this so existing panels will keep
their LPCB certification until April
2002.
Key Differences between
EN54 parts 2 & 4 and
BS5839 part 4
Although in broad terms EN54: 2
& 4 and BS5839: 4 are similar
there are many differences in
detail that have required a slightly
different approach to the way the
control panel works. The key
differences are as follows:
qEN54 part 2 is very much a
zone based standard. Thus the
EN54 panel displays fires by
zone. Also if all the devices in a
zone are disabled then a zonal
disablement is shown.
qThere are certain limits placed
on the number of devices al-
lowed in EN54 part 2. No more
than 512 detectors and/or call
points can be connected to a
panel if a single processor fail-
ure will prevent these from op-
erating. In the event of a cable
fault (e.g. short circuit) no more
than 32 detectors and/or call
points may be lost.
qTerminology has been tightened
up and standardised. This
means that disabled zones are
shown as Disabled not Warn-
ings.
qIf a delay is active then a dis-
ablement must be shown.
qThere are subtle differences in
the way that certain controls
work. For example there is no
disablement buzzer (by default)
and all other buzzers (including
the fire buzzer) must be cancel-
lable.
Fire Panels EN54 Specification

System design
The fire system design should be
to BS 5839:Part 1:1988 Code of
Practice for system design
installation and servicing.
Supplemented with customer
requirements.
Mains Supply Connection
The control panel mains supply
must be via a fused spur unit
rated:
5A - 1 & 2 Zone panel/Repeat
panel
7A - 4 & 8 Zone panel
Standby Supply
With the recommended battery the
control panel will provide a
standby supply under mains
failure conditions, for a period of
72 hours followed by 30 minutes
of alarm load,
24V power supply
The power supply terminals 24+
and 0 may drive external ancillary
equipment and is designed to be
used in conjunction with auxiliary
contacts and common fire and
fault outputs. The maximum
currents are 250mA (1 & 2 zone)
and 500mA (4 & 8 zone). The
supply is monitored for faulty 24V
supply level or fuse blowing.
NOTE: The use of the 24V
supply will affect the panel
standby capability.
Fire Detection
(Zone Circuits)
Each zone circuit can have up to
3.0mA load. An end-of-line
capacitor unit or bipolar capacitor
is required for zone circuit
monitoring, which must be fitted
after the last detector or manual
call point on the circuit. All
manual call points used must
have a 470 ohms series
resistor.
Where a zone circuit is not being
used, the end-of-line capacitor
unit or bipolar capacitor must be
fitted across its terminals in the
panel.

Alarm (Sounder circuits)
To comply with the requirements
of BS 5839: Part 1:1988, two or
more alarm sounder circuits
should be used on all installations.
NOTE: All sounder circuits
(sectors) will operate together in
the event of a fire condition.
NOTE: Each sounder output is
fused at 0.5A. Therefore a
minimum of three are required
to carry 1.5A
1&2 Zone Panel 4&8 Zone Panel
1A maximum
Alarm sounder
load per panel
1.5A maximum
Alarm sounder
load per panel
The load must be shared between
the sounder circuits. The alarm
sounder circuits are regularly
pulse monitored for failure. It is
important that the last alarm
sounder is fitted with a 10K Ohm
end-of-line resistor.
The sounder outputs are
monitored in alarm for loss of
supply or multiple sounder output
overloads
Where a sounder circuit is not
being used, the end-of-line resistor
must be fitted across its terminals
in the control panel.
Auxiliary Contacts
These are normally open (NO) and
normally closed (NC) contacts that
change over when the panel goes
into a fire condition. The contacts
are rated at 24V d.c. 1A for a
resistive load and should not be
used to switch voltages in excess of
50V. The auxiliary circuits should be
powered from an independent
power supply.
Class Change
A pair of unmonitored terminals
allow only the system alarm
sounders to be activated from a
remote position. It is considered that
the major use for these will be for
class change functions in schools
and colleges.

Common Fire and fault
The common fault output is a
normally closed electronic switch,
which opens with a fault condition,
this is for a fail safe operation.
The common fire output is a
normally open electronic switch
that closes with a fire condition.
Each electronic switch is current
limited, see specification, page 25.
Use relay to provide volt free
contacts.
The +24V & 0V is a power supply
for use with auxiliary contacts,
common fire and common fault
circuits, see specification.
Repeat Panel
One repeat panel can be
connected in series to the control
panel. A repeat panel duplicates
fire and fault indications together
with system controls.

performance or appearance of the
System products, the installation
of second fix items should be
delayed until all major building
work in the area is complete.
Fixtures and fittings
It is the installers responsibility to
provide:
adequate fixtures and fittings
for the type of construction
surface onto which a product
is to be installed.
as an aid to this decision, the
weight and overall size of
each full assembly together
with implications on cable
entries and routing should be
taken into consideration.
NOTE: All these procedures
assume that the cable, gland,
steel box (BESA box) and other
related accessories are provided
by the installer.
As fitted wiring drawings
The installer should acquire:
site specific information from
the interested parties, for
details on the location of

the acquired information
together with this guide and
the relevant standards should
be used to assist the work.
Earth continuity
To maintain earth continuity, the
cable screen must be continued
through each system device,
whether the earth is connected to
a device or not.
NOTE: The cable link from the
main panel to the repeat panel
if fitted must be via screened
cable. Refer to Figure 8 for

EN54 Parts 2 and 4.
The operation of the control and
repeat panels and the system may
be re-configured to site specific
needs, see test and configuration
functions and Programming
OptionsTest mode A or B
operation
To facilitate tests on the fire
detection and alarm system the
control panel can be set to operate
in a test mode, see Test and
configuration functions.
With Test mode A or B active: a
triggered manual call point or fire
detector in the test zone will give:
NOTE: A detector that is still
full of smoke or heat will
retrigger into a fire condition
until the smoke or heat in the
area is cleared.
Sound level test
Sound level tests should be
conducted to standard
requirements and to customer
satisfaction.
Other equipment tests
Where external equipment is
connected to the control panel
using auxiliary, common fire and
fault terminals, then these must be
tested to project requirements.
Zone designation label
a) Write on to the zone
designation label the name that
identifies the area protected by
each zone circuit.
b) Fix the label over the zone
designation part of the lower
inner plate, see Figure 14.
Log book
Fill in system details on the first
three pages of the log book.
EEPROM Protection link
Ensure that at the end of
Commissioning and System tests
the EEPROM protection link is
fitted to connector P8, see
Figure 14.
On completion
Ensure the persons responsible
for the system are made aware of
system operation
access codes to controls
basic controls
their responsibility
and the need to log system
events in the log book.
Repeat panel
configuration
There can be a single repeat
panel connected in series to the
the control panel.
Procedure
qThe power up procedure for the
repeat panel is the same as the
main panel:
qThe presence of a repeat panel
needs to be set up at the main
panel, see Number of repeats
function in the Programming op-
tions section.
Day/Night Operation
If the panel is set to Night mode,
the panel will upon detecting a
fire:
qIlluminate the Common Fire and
appropriate Zone Fire indicators
qSound the internal buzzer and
start the sounders.
If the panel is in Day mode, the
panel will upon detection of a fire:
qIlluminate the Common fire
lamp and the appropriate zone
fire lamp.
qCause the panels internal
buzzer to emit the fire tone.
qActivate the common fire and
auxiliary outputs.
qDelay the activation of the
sounders for a configurable
delay of between 1 and 10
minutes in 1 minute steps.
If the panel is reset during the
delay period, the visual and
audible indications and the
sounder delay are cancelled.
If another fire occurs in a different
zone to the first fire, the sounder
delay is cancelled and the output
circuits activated immediately.
False alarm rejection
qThis is an enhanced fire
detection algorithm designed to
give greater immunity to
spurious alarms.
qThe algorithm should only be
used in conjunction with recom-
mended detectors to guarantee
that the system will reject spuri-
ous events but will detect and
annunciate real fires within 10
seconds. (EN54-part 2 require-
ment)
qWhen set, the algorithm applies
to ALL zones on the panel.

User Responsibility
It is recommended that the
persons responsible for the fire
alarm system, should become
familiar with the procedures on
how to operate the controls and
interpret indications given at the
control and repeat panels.
Adequate training should also
have been given from appointed
personnel.
Daily
The British Standard code of
practice for Fire detection and
alarm systems for buildings,
BS 5839:Part1:1988, states that
the system should be inspected
daily to ensure that a normal
indication is given at the control
and indicating equipment and that
any previously indicated fault
condition has received appropriate
attention.
a) It recommends entry into the
Log Book provided of all the
system events for future
reference.
b) The person inspecting the
protected premises can ensure
that the use of the area(s)
inspected has not changed
such that the detection and
alarm devices have become
inappropriate.
c) The area(s) can be inspected
to check that no unsafe
practices that could lead to fire
are being undertaken.
Weekly
At Weekly intervals a different Fire
detector or Manual Call Point of
the system should be tested to
ensure the system is capable of
operating under alarm condition.
a) The operation of the alarm
sounders should be checked,
which also provides a regular
reminder to those occupying
the premises that there is a fire
alarm system with a particular
characteristic sound.
b) The test should be performed
at a regular time to avoid
confusion between a test and a
genuine fire alarm.
Quarterly
At quarterly intervals the system
should be inspected and any work
necessary should be performed by
a trained maintenance engineer.
Battery Replacement
NOTE: Any servicing work on
the System must be carried out
by servicing organisation.
Under normal operating conditions
the maintenance free lead acid
batteries in the Control and
Repeat panels can have a useful
life of up to 5 years from the date
of manufacture.
NOTE: It is recommended that
these batteries are replaced at
4 Yearly intervals from the date
the System is first
commissioned.

Testing a Manual Call Point
Push the test key through the hole
in the underside of the call point to
engage the test cam mechanism.
At this point the test key is
retained in the call point and
pulling it out will reset the glass.
NOTE: The alarm sounders in
the system will be activated by
this test. To silence alarms
and reset the system, see
operating instructions.
Replacing a broken Glass
WARNING: Take appropriate
precautions when clearing
broken glass to prevent
injury.
NOTE: A weather resistant
version of manual call points
will have two gaskets, a
Cover/glass gasket and a
Spacer/cover gasket, which must
be installed in their respective
position.
These procedures assume the
cover on the manual call point is
open and any broken glass has
been cleared.
a) Insert the glass beneath the
opaque slider x and locate
bottom of the glass into recess,
ensure the thumb wheel is up
as shown..
b) Place the test key on the cam
(thumb wheel) y.
c) Fit the call point cover by
hooking it into the top of the
unit. Make sure that the glass
is properly seated (held down).
Withdraw the test key from the
call point z and then use it to
fit the screw { securing the
cover to the back box.

Specification for control panels Power supply
The control panel consists of single board containing both the control and indicating equipment and the power
supply. A 50VA mains transformer provides a low voltage (30Vac) supply into the power supply circuits, see
pages 3 & 5 for connection details. The on board power supply circuits produce a regulated 24V dc supply, a
24V sounder supply and a battery charger output.
Note the control and monitoring of the power supply unit is under direct control of the microprocessor of the
control and indicating equipment.

System design
The design of the fire detection
and alarm system should be to
BS 5839:Part 1:1988 Code of
Practice for system design
installation and servicing.
Supplemented with customer
requirements.
Mains Supply Connection
The mains supply to the control
panel should be via a fused spur
unit rated:
5A for 1 & 2 Zone panel
7A for 4 & 8 Zone panel
Standby Supply
With the recommended battery
the control panel will provide a
standby supply under mains
failure conditions, for a period of
72 hours followed by 30 minutes
of alarm load, see specification.
24V supply
The power supply terminals 24+
and 0 may drive external ancillary
equipment and is designed to be
used in conjunction with auxiliary
contacts and common fire and
fault outputs, see control panel
specification.
NOTE: The use of the 24V
supply will affect the panel
standby capability.

Fire Detection
(Zone Circuits)
See parts list for compatible parts.
Each zone circuit can have up to
2mA load. An end-of-line
capacitor unit is required for zone
circuit monitoring, which must be
fitted after the last detector or
manual call point on the circuit.
All manual call points used
must have a 470 ohms series
resistor.
NOTE: If a Beam detector is
used, then it must be powered
from an independent supply.
Where a zone circuit is not being
used, the end-of-line capacitor
unit must be fitted across its
terminals in the panel.
Alarm (Sounder circuits)
NOTE: All sounder circuits
(sectors) will always operate
together in the event of a fire
condition.
See parts list for compatible parts.
To comply with the requirements
of BS 5839: Part 1:1988, a
minimum of two alarm sounder
circuits should be used on all
installations.
1 & 2 Zone
Panel
4 & 8 Zone

The load must be shared between
the sounder circuits.
The alarm sounder circuits are
regularly pulse monitored for
failure. It is important that the last
alarm sounder is fitted with a 22K
Ohm end-of-line resistor.
Where a sounder circuit is not
being used, the end-of-line
resistor must be fitted across its
terminals in the control panel.

Auxiliary Contacts
These are normally open (NO)
and normally closed (NC)
contacts that switch over when
the panel goes into a fire condition.
The contacts are rated at 24V d.c.
1A for a resistive load and should
not be used to switch voltages in
excess of 50V.
The auxiliary circuits should be
powered from an independent
power supply.
Class Change
A pair of unmonitored terminals
allow only the system alarm
sounders to be actuated from a
remote position. It is considered
that the major use for these will be
for class change functions in
schools and colleges.
NOTE: There is no indication
at the panel of class change
push button operation.
Common Fire and fault
The common fault output is a
normally closed electronic switch,
which opens with a fault condition,
this is for a fail safe operation.
The common fire output is
normally open electronic switch
that closes with a fire condition.
NOTE: Each electronic switch
has an in-line 1K ohms resistor.
The +24V & 0V is a power supply
for use with auxiliary contacts,
common fire and common fault
circuits, see specification.
Repeat Panel
There can be up to 6 repeat
panels series connected from the
control panel. A repeat panel
duplicates fire and fault
indications together with system
controls.

User Responsibility
It is recommended that the
persons responsible for the fire
alarm system, should become
familiar with the procedures on
how to operate the controls and
interpret indications given at the
control and repeat panels.
Adequate training should also
have been given from appointed
personnel.
Daily
The British Standard code of
practice for Fire detection and
alarm systems for buildings,
BS 5839:Part1:1988, states that
the system should be inspected
daily to ensure that a normal
indication is given at the control
and indicating equipment and that
any previously indicated fault
condition has received
appropriate attention.
a) It recommends entry into the
Log Book provided of all the
system events for future
reference.
b) The person inspecting the
protected premises can ensure
that the use of the area(s)
inspected has not changed
such that the detection and
alarm devices have become
inappropriate.
c) The area(s) can be inspected
to check that no unsafe
practices that could lead to fire
are being undertaken.
Weekly
At Weekly intervals a different
Fire detector or Manual Call
Point of the system should be
tested to ensure the system is
capable of operating under alarm
condition.
a) The operation of the alarm
sounders should be checked,
which also provides a regular
reminder to those occupying
the premises that there is a fire
alarm system with a particular
characteristic sound.
b) The test should be performed
at a regular time to avoid
confusion between a test and
a genuine fire alarm.
Quarterly
At quarterly intervals the system
should be inspected and any work
necessary should be performed
by trained maintenance engineer.
Battery Replacement
NOTE: Any servicing work on
the System must be carried
out by servicing organisation.
Under normal operating
conditions the maintenance free
lead acid batteries in the Control
and Repeat panels can have a
useful life of up to 5 years from
the date of manufacture.
NOTE: It is recommended that
these batteries are replaced at
4 Yearly intervals from the
date the System is first
commissioned.

Testing a Manual Call Point
Push the test key through the hole
in the underside of the call point to
engage the test cam mechanism
and push to operate the cam
mechanism.
At this point the test key is
retained in the call point and
pulling it out will reset the glass.
NOTE: The alarm sounders in
the system will be activated by
this test. To silence alarms
and reset the system, see
operating instructions.
Replacing a broken Glass
WARNING: Take
appropriate precautions
when clearing broken glass
to prevent injury.
NOTE: A weather resistant
version of manual call points
will have two gaskets, a
Cover/glass gasket and a
Spacer/cover gasket, which
must be installed in their
respective position.
These procedures assume the
cover on the manual call point is
open and any broken glass has
been cleared.
a) Feed the glass upward to push
the cams down and fit under
slider, locate bottom of glass
into recess.
b) Hold the bottom of glass in
position and rotate the
thumbwheel quadrant to raise
the top of the glass.
c) Fit the call point cover by
hooking it into the top of the
unit and making sure that the
glass is properly seated (held
down) tighten the cover fixing
screw.

System design
The design of the fire detection
and alarm system should be to
BS 5839:Part 1:1988 Code of
Practice for system design
installation and servicing.
Supplemented with customer
requirements.
Mains Supply Connection
The mains supply to the control
panel should be via a fused spur
unit rated:
5A for 1 & 2 Zone panel
7A for 4 & 8 Zone panel
Standby Supply
With the recommended battery
the control panel will provide a
standby supply under mains

Fire Detection
(Zone Circuits)
See parts list for compatible parts.
Each zone circuit can have up to
2mA load. An end-of-line
capacitor unit is required for zone
circuit monitoring, which must be
fitted after the last detector or
manual call point on the circuit.
All manual call points used
must have a 470 ohms series
resistor.
NOTE: If a Beam detector is
used, then it must be powered
from an independent supply.
Where a zone circuit is not being
used, the end-of-line capacitor
unit must be fitted across its
terminals in the panel.
Alarm (Sounder circuits)
NOTE: All sounder circuits
(sectors) will always operate
together in the event of a fire
condition.
See parts list for compatible parts.
To comply with the requirements
of BS 5839: Part 1:1988, a
minimum of two alarm sounder
circuits should be used on all
installations.
1 & 2 Zone
Panel
4 & 8 Zone
Panel
1A maximum
Alarm sounder
load per panel
1.5A maximum
Alarm sounder
load per panel
The load must be shared between
the sounder circuits.
The alarm sounder circuits are
regularly pulse monitored for
failure. It is important that the last
alarm sounder is fitted with a 22K
Ohm end-of-line resistor.
Where a sounder circuit is not
being used, the end-of-line
resistor must be fitted across its
terminals in the control panel.

System design Conventional fire panels
8/97 6 4188-417 Issue 1
Auxiliary Contacts
These are normally open (NO)
and normally closed (NC)
contacts that switch over when
the panel goes into a fire condition.
The contacts are rated at 24V d.c.
1A for a resistive load and should
not be used to switch voltages in
excess of 50V.
The auxiliary circuits should be
powered from an independent
power supply.
Class Change
A pair of unmonitored terminals
allow only the system alarm
sounders to be actuated from a
remote position. It is considered
that the major use for these will be
for class change functions in
schools and colleges.
NOTE: There is no indication
at the panel of class change
push button operation.
Common Fire and fault
The common fault output is a
normally closed electronic switch,
which opens with a fault condition,
this is for a fail safe operation.
The common fire output is
normally open electronic switch
that closes with a fire condition.
NOTE: Each electronic switch
has an in-line 1K ohms resistor.
The +24V & 0V is a power supply
for use with auxiliary contacts,
common fire and common fault
circuits, see specification.
Repeat Panel
There can be up to 6 repeat
panels series connected from the
control panel. A repeat panel
duplicates fire and fault
indications together with system
controls.

Notes to the installer
Checks
The power-up and
commissioning is done by the
servicing organisation.
The wires between the
termination point and terminals
should be short and straight
as possible.
The cables of the fire detection
and alarm system and other
systems should usually be
separated by at least 160mm,
unless dedicated conduit or
ducting is used.
Do not use any part of building
structure for earthing.
The cable length between the
Repeat LED unit and respective
fire detector where used ,
should not exceed 10m
Cable Glands should be used
on the equipment for the mains
supply cable.
Unused knockouts on product
enclosure that have been
removed, should not be left
open.
Requirements
It is recommended that the
installer follow the general
requirements of:
BS5839:Part 1:1988, which is
the code of practice relating to
the fire detection and alarm
systems for buildings.
the relevant parts of the BS
7671 Requirements for
Electrical Installation Institute of
Electrical Engineers Wiring
Regulations 16th edition.
Second fix installation
To prevent the possibility of
damage or dirt degrading the
performance or appearance of the
System products:
the installation of second fix items
should be delayed until all major
building work in the area is
complete.
Fixtures and fittings
It is the installers responsibility to
provide:
adequate fixtures and fittings
for the type of construction
surface onto which a product
is to be installed.
as an aid to this decision, the
weight and overall size of
each full assembly together
with implications on cable
entries and routing should be
taken into consideration.
NOTE: All these procedures
assume that the cable, gland,
steel box (BESA box) and
other related accessories are
provided by the installer.
As fitted wiring drawings
The installer should acquire:
site specific information from
the interested parties, for
details on the location of

User Responsibility
It is recommended that the
persons responsible for the fire
alarm system, should become
familiar with the procedures on
how to operate the controls and
interpret indications given at the
control and repeat panels.
Adequate training should also
have been given from appointed
personnel.
Daily
The British Standard code of
practice for Fire detection and
alarm systems for buildings,
BS 5839:Part1:1988, states that
the system should be inspected
daily to ensure that a normal
indication is given at the control
and indicating equipment and that
any previously indicated fault
condition has received
appropriate attention.
a) It recommends entry into the
Log Book provided of all the
system events for future
reference.
b) The person inspecting the
protected premises can ensure
that the use of the area(s)
inspected has not changed
such that the detection and
alarm devices have become
inappropriate.
c) The area(s) can be inspected
to check that no unsafe
practices that could lead to fire
are being undertaken.
Weekly
At Weekly intervals a different
Fire detector or Manual Call
Point of the system should be
tested to ensure the system is
capable of operating under alarm
condition.
a) The operation of the alarm
sounders should be checked,
which also provides a regular
reminder to those occupying
the premises that there is a fire
alarm system with a particular
characteristic sound.
b) The test should be performed
at a regular time to avoid
confusion between a test and
a genuine fire alarm.
Quarterly
At quarterly intervals the system
should be inspected and any work
necessary should be performed
by trained maintenance engineer.
Battery Replacement
NOTE: Any servicing work on
the System must be carried
out by servicing organisation.
Under normal operating
conditions the maintenance free
lead acid batteries in the Control
and Repeat panels can have a
useful life of up to 5 years from
the date of manufacture.
NOTE: It is recommended that
these batteries are replaced at
4 Yearly intervals from the
date the System is first

1 Introduction
The fire alarm control panel has been
designed to comply with the requirements
of BS 5839:Part 4:1988 for use in
systems complying with the requirements
of BS 5839:Part 1:1988 which are the
British Standards for fire detection and
alarm systems in buildings. These
instructions should provide sufficient
information to install the product and then
check the performance of the installed
system. It is however important that those
responsible for the design, installation and
commissioning of the system should have
a good working knowledge of the
requirements of installed systems,
particularly BS 5839:Part 1:1988 Code of
Practice for system design installation
and servicing.
2 Fire Detection and Alarm
System Design
The following design information is
intended to provide guidance on aspects
of system design, specifically related to
the use of the control panel. Before
designing any fire alarm system, reference
should be made to the BS 5839 Part
1:1988 which is the Code normally
applicable in the U.K., but this may be
supplemented by additional requirements
to suit individual user needs.
2.1 Mains Supply Connection
The mains supply to the Control Panel
should be a 230Vac +10% -6% 50Hz
single phase. Its connection to the panel
should be made via a 3A (5A for 8 Zone
Panel) fused spur unit reserved solely to
feed the Control Panel.
2.2 Standby Supply
The Control Panel will provide a
standby supply, under mains
failure conditions, for a period
of 72 hours followed by 30
minutes of full alarm load, with
an average detector load of 1mA
per zone and a total sounder load
of 1A.
2.3 Fire Detection
Circuits (Zone Circuits)
The control panel include fire
detection circuits, also referred
to as zone circuits, for the
connection of fire detectors and
manual call points. It is
important to ensure that the
detectors and call points used are
compatible with the control
panel. Only the recommended
devices should be used. It is
important that all call points
are fitted with a 470 ohms
series resistor. Failure to follow this
recommendation may lead to inferior
performance of the system.
Note: The maximum line loop
resistance of a fire detection circuit
should not exceed 100 Ohms.
2.4 Monitoring Fire Detection
Circuits
Effective monitoring of the fire detection
circuits rely on the end-of-line capacitor
unit being present. A capacitor unit must
be fitted after the last detector or manual
call point on a fire detection circuit, see
Figure 1. As the end-of-line capacitor unit
is connected to prevent a fault condition
being annunciated any fire detection
circuits not being used should be
terminated in, or adjacent to, the control
panel with an end-of-line capacitor unit.
Notice: A fire detection circuit wiring
must be one continuous circuit with no
spur circuits being permitted.
Notice: The use of capacitor(s) and an
associated monitoring circuit is the
subject of British Patent 2101784.
Foreign filing has also been undertaken.
2.5 Alarm Sounder Circuits
To comply with the requirements of BS
5839: Part 1:1988, it is important that
both alarm sounder circuits are used on all
installations. Each alarm sounder circuit
for the 1,2 and 4 zone control panel is
rated at 24V 750mA, with a maximum
alarm sounder current of 1 A distributed
between the two alarm sounder circuits.
The 8 zone control panel has each alarm
sounder circuit rated at 24V 1.5A, with a
maximum alarm sounder current of 2A
distributed between the two alarm sounder
circuits.
cdm26
Figure 1 Typical Fire Detection & Alarm System Schematic
BASE
fl121
Figure 2
To permit the removal of a plug-in fire detector to be
annunciated as an open-circuit fault but prevent sub-
sequent detectors or call points from being discon-
nected, each fire detector base should be wired with a
diode and a shorting link.
10/96 Page 1 4188-286 Issue 5
2.6 Monitoring of Alarm
Sounder Circuits
Each alarm sounder circuit is monitored
for both short and open circuit wiring
fault. This requires that the remote end of
each alarm sounder circuit is fitted with a
22K Ohm end-of-line resistor. An alarm
sounder circuit wiring must be one
continuous circuit with no spur circuits
being permitted. Also to allow the
monitoring function to operate effectively,
it is important that all sounders include a
series blocking diode that will only allow
current to flow through the sounders when
the supply is polarised in accordance with
the terminal markings on the control panel
printed circuit board. For monitoring
purposes, each alarm sounder circuit is
fed with a reversed polarity supply which
only permits current to flow through the
end-of-line resistor.
2.7 Class Change Circuit
A pair of unmonitored terminals are
provided to permit the system alarm
sounders to be actuated from a remote
position. It is considered that the major
use for these will be for class change
functions in schools and colleges The
wiring connecting these terminals to the
normally open initiating contacts is not
monitored for an open circuit fault
condition. Cable length 100m maximum.
2.8 Auxiliary Relay Contacts
A set of normally open contacts and an
isolated set of normally closed contacts
have been provided for triggering
auxiliary circuits. These contacts are
rated at 24V d.c. 1A for a resistive load.
These contacts should not be used to
switch voltages in excess of extra low
voltage of 50V. Any auxiliary circuits
should be powered from an independent
power supply and should not use the
power of the control panel as this may
have a detrimental affect on battery
standby capability of the control panel.
For the 1 and 2 zone control panel,
these contacts operate with system
alarm sounders , whereas for the 4 and
8 zone panel the contacts operate with
only the fire condition.
2.9 Repeat Panel
Connections
(Applicable for 4
& 8 Zone
Control Panels
Only)
The control panel
include terminals for
the connection of a
repeat panel to permit
duplicate common fire
and fault, together with
associated fire zone
indications. The 24V
positive supply
connection to the
repeat panel is
protected by a 1A fuse
on the printed circuit
board in the control
panel. The power
supply is not intended
to be a source of power
for other ancillary
devices.
3 Installation Instructions
It is recommended that
the installation be
delayed until all
building work has been
completed in the
vicinity of the control
panel position. This
will prevent the
possibility of dirt
degrading the
performance or
appearance of the
control panel.
a) Remove control
panel from its packing
but retain the carton for
storage of spare parts
and loose items.
b) Open control panel
front cover using the
key provided and if
necessary remove door
by extracting the hinge
fixing.
c) Remove the inner
cover of the control panel by removing its
fasteners.
d) Check the spares parts supplied with
those listed in Table 1. If replacement
parts are required at any time, only spares
that are of the same specification should
be used.
e) Remove the appropriate knock-outs on
the control panel case for cable entry. The
4 or 8 zone control panel case has
knockouts provided to allow rear cable
entry.
f) Hold the control panel on the wall in
the desired mounting position and mark
the positions of the fixing holes. See
Figure 3 for case fixing details.
g) Secure the control panel to the wall
using suitable fixing such that adequate
support is provided to the control panel
assembly. A top centre keyhole fixing is
provided on the case to allow the panel to
be hooked whilst the bottom two fixing
points are located.
h) Terminate the cables into the
appropriate terminal blocks on the printed
circuit board.
Note: Each customer terminal on the
printed circuit board accept a
maximum conductor size of 2.5mm
square.
i) If it is not intended that the system be
commissioned at this stage, the inner
cover and the front cover should be
refitted and the system left without power.
j) Store spare parts and loose components
including the batteries inside the control
panel carton and keep in a safe place until
required.

4 One Man Commissioning
and Test
The total system should be tested in
accordance with the commissioning
requirements of BS5839:Part 1:1988 or
other standard specified by the system
purchaser.
a) When the system is to be
commissioned, the batteries should be
connected as shown in Figure 4 and the
mains power supply connected. Ensure
the batteries are placed on the support(s)
provided and securely fixed to the back of
the case by using the sticky backed pads.
b) With the power supplied, the control
panel should now be operational and the
green power on lamp should be
illuminated.
c)To facilitate commissioning and testing
of this control panel, by one man
servicing, a four way connector has been
included on the printed circuit board
designated P4 for the 1 and 2 zone control
panels, and P7 for the 4 and 8 zone
control panels. A small black shorting link
is supplied to enable the control panel into
either commissioning or test mode.
Test mode
To enable the control panel into the test
mode, fit the shorting link across the two
pins of connector P4 or P7 as shown in
Figure 5. The fire detection circuit(s) will
then appear disabled. However, in this
mode any detector operated will be reset,
automatically, after approximately seven
seconds, without giving any indication on
the control panel or starting the alarm
sounders.
Commissioning mode
To enable the control panel into the
commissioning mode, fit the shorting link
across the two pins of connector P4 or P7
as shown in Figure 5. The fire detection
circuit(s) will then appear disabled.
However, in this mode any detector or
manual call point made active will cause
system alarm sounders to signal for two
seconds and subsequently a panel reset is
performed automatically after
approximately seven seconds.
d) After each zone circuit has been
commissioned or tested it can be enabled
separately to operate as normal, see
section 5.5.
Important:The shorting link MUST BE
REMOVED from connector P4 or P7
to restore the control panel to the
normal mode.
e) Write zone identification name onto the
zone designation label, if provided, such
that the name is adjacent to the respective
zone Fire and Fault lamps on the inner
cover of the control panel.
f) The label backing should then be peeled
off and label stuck onto the inner cover to
allow appropriate zone indicator lamps to
appear through cut-out of the label.
g) Arrangements should now be made to
the ongoing maintenance of the
installation as required by BS5839:Part
1:1988 .
Note: Under normal operating
conditions the batteries can have a
useful life of up to 5 Years from the
date of their manufacture. The
REPLACE BY DATE shown on the
battery label is calculated at 4 Years
from manufacture and it is strongly
recommended that the batteries are
changed by this date.
5 Operating Instructions
The control panel provides system
security by virtue of the lockable door and
provides clear indication of the indicator
lamps and easily readable instructions for
the system operator.
The automatic functions of the control
panel, includes the annunciation of fire
and fault conditions of the fire detection
and alarm system, without the need to
operate any of the push button controls.
Silencing of alarm sounders and the fault
buzzer, re-sounding of the alarm sounders
and the operation of the test functions do
require the operation of push buttons and
these are protected against unauthorised
actuation by the lockable hinged front
cover of the control panel. Once this cover
is lowered, all push buttons are exposed,
as are the basic instructions required by
the operator.
5.1 Fire Condition
Common fire lamps are on
Appropriate zone fire lamps are on, if
applicable
Internal fire buzzer is actuated
System alarm sounders are actuated
Any auxiliary equipment is actuated
Any automatic link to the Fire Brigade
is initiated
Suggested action to silence alarms and
reset the system:
a) Press SILENCE
ALARMS push after
emergency is over.
Notice the system
alarm Sounders are
silenced and internal
fire buzzer changes
to fault/supervisory
buzzer output. All
other fire condition
status remain active.
b) Press RESET
push after the cause
of the alarm has
been investigated.
Ensure smoke and
excess heat have had
time to clear from
automatic detectors
and broken manual
call point glasses
have been replaced
where necessary. All
the control panel
indications and
outputs will return to
their normal
condition.

5.2 To Sound Alarms
If it is necessary to actuate the alarm
sounders when there is no fire indicated,
or to re-sound the alarm sounders after
they have been cancelled during a fire
condition, for this the SOUND ALARMS
push should be pressed. The alarm
sounders are then cancelled by pressing
the SILENCE ALARMS push button.
5.3 Fault Condition
Common fault lamp is on
Appropriate fault indicators are on
Internal Fault/Supervisory Buzzer is ac-
tuated
Suggested action to rectify fault condition:
Press CANCEL FAULT BUZZER push
after investigating fault. Notice the buzzer
is silenced but other indications remain
active.
The fault lamps will be automatically
extinguished once the fault condition is
rectified. If the system detects a fire
during a fault condition the fault
indicators may be extinguished. Details of
the indications relating to specific fault
conditions are shown in Table 2. Multiple
faults are simultaneously annunciated
when this does not cause confusion.
However, a mains failure condition
overrides all other fault indications in
order to preserve battery standby capacity.
5.4 To Test Lamps and Buzzer
Press LAMP TEST push. All lamps
should be illuminated and the
Fault/Supervisory Buzzer should sound
for a period of approximately 2 seconds.
Note: Under normal operating
conditions the batteries can have a
useful life of up to 5 Years from the
date of their manufacture. The
REPLACE BY DATE shown on the
battery label is calculated at 4 Years
from manufacture and it is strongly
recommended that the batteries are
changed by this date.

6 Routine Testing
Daily
The British Standard Code of Practice for
Fire Detection and Alarm Systems for
buildings, BS 5839:Part 1:1988, states
that the system should be inspected daily
to ensure that it is indicating a normal
condition and that any previously
indicated Fault and Warning condition has
received appropriate attention. It
recommends entry into the log book
provided of all system events for future
reference.
Weekly
At weekly intervals a different fire
detector or manual call point of the
system should be tested. The test should
be performed at regular time to avoid
confusion between a test and a genuine
alarm. This would also provide a regular
reminder to those occupying the premises
that there is a fire alarm system with a
particular characteristic sound.
Quarterly
At quarterly intervals the system should
be inspected and any work necessary
should be performed by a trained engineer
responsible for the system.
6.1 Log Book
To comply with the requirements of BS
5839:Part 1:1988 and to allow those
concerned with the fire detection and
alarm systems to monitor the long term
performance of the system, it is important
that a log is kept which includes all the
events relating to the performance of the
system.
