Wiring
The repeater panels are designed to be wired in a
fault tolerant (fail safe) loop configuration, from
comms A to B and back to the main panel again
(see diagram). This enables repeater panels to still
work if there is a break in the cables.
If replacing an older system where the existing
cabling cannot be configured in a loop as shown, it is
possible to change the panel back to radial circuit
comms monitoring.
See panel wide settings 2-1-2-3 option 6 (Repeater
Comms Monitoring Type) on page 29.
Programming Repeater Panels
Programming of all the repeater panels is done from the main control panel.
The repeater panels have 2 inputs located on the main circuit board, Class Change (CC) and Alert (PUL).
Switching a negative voltage into these inputs will cause the alarm sounders to operate. The Class Change
input (CC) will cause the alarms to sound continously and the Alert input (PUL) will cause the alarms to pulse.
There are also 6 switch -ve outputs located on the Comms PCB. By default o/p 1 is set to activate on common
fire and o/p 2 is set to activate for common fault.
There are 4 programming options available for the inputs and outputs in the repeater panels.
• Outputs 1 - 6 activate on common fire
• Outputs 1 - 6 activate zonally for zones 1 - 6
• Outputs 1 - 6 activate zonally for zones 7 - 12
• Change inputs CC & PUL to power supply fault inputs.
It is also possible in this programming mode to disable the controls on repeater panels, making them passive
instead of active and to disable the battery monitoring on the repeater panel if no battery backup is required.
Enter the above code and press ENTER. The zone 1 fire LED will light. This indicates which repeater panel is to
be programmed 1 - 8. Use button 1 to move the fire zone LED to the required repeater.
With the required repeater for editing LED lit, press the ENTER button to enter ‘editing mode’. The fire zone 1
LED will now pulse to indicate setting of attribute 1 (outputs 1 - 6 common fire) for that repeater.
Use button 1 to scroll to the attribute that requires editing, inidicated by a pulsing fire LED 1 - 6 as per table
below. Now use button 2 to change the setting indicated by the amber, fault / disabled / test LEDs, ON or OFF.
Then use button 1 again to move to the next attribute if required.
