12 1X-E4 Series Installation Manual
Connecting detectors
Connect detectors as shown in Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6, and Figure 7 starting
on page 9.
The panel supports conventional detectors. To guarantee optimal operation, use
the detectors specified in the compatibility list. For more information on fire
detectors, see Chapter 5 “Technical specifications” on page 71.
Connecting manual call points
Connect manual call points in parallel, as shown in Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6,
and Figure 7 starting on page 9. Each zone circuit can support up to 32 manual
call points.
Manual call points must have a resistance installed in series with the normally
open (NO) contact to avoid short-circuit faults and to allow the control panel to
identify the origin of the alarm (automatic or manual). Note that many of the
MCPs in the compatibility list already include this resistor.
The resistance required will depend on the zone type as shown in Table 5 below.
