41CPE118 is an analogue fire alarm panel that can cover up to 500 zones; it is supplied by default with 1 Loop but this can be
expanded up to 4 using additional boards (Art. 41ECL120) connected directly in the panel itself. Its maximum expansion of 8
Loops in total can be achieved using the external 4-Loop box Art. 41CPE104 (1 Loop board by default).
The panel uses Comelit communication protocol
which allows it to communicate with all new and old series of Comelit
analogue devices
.
System installation must be planned carefully before the panel and devices are fitted, to avoid or considerably reduce problems
during this stage. This includes: assigning an address to every device and planning a name of up to 40 characters (including
spaces) for each address, thereby ensuring easy traceability of the device.
The devices must be grouped by Zone in compliance with current regulations for the construction of fire protection systems,
and with the safety plan for the building.
1. INTRODUCTION
Each 41ECL120 loop (Comelit communication protocol) offers the opportunity of connecting 250 devices
(modules and/or sensors, regardless of type).
FRONT VIEW OF PANEL 41CPE118
1.1 GENERAL FEATURES
The front panel has a colour touchscreen display (dimensions 155x86 mm) and LED indications for viewing events and zone
statuses.
Access to panel functions takes place via password for three individual access levels, while access to the internal components
of the panel is protected by a special mechanical key. The panel box is almost 150 mm deep, guaranteeing easy access and
laying of cables during installation, as well as quicker and easier wiring procedures.
Between one and four expansion boards 41ECL120 can be added to the output module.
The system can be expanded by connecting the panels in an Ethernet or RS485 network, where communication between them
takes place via TCP/IP PROTOCOL, up to a maximum of 64 control panels / repeater panels linked.
The panel has a built-in real-time clock and a calendar, allowing operation in day and night mode. Switching between the
two modes can take place automatically or manually. Events such as: FIRE, RESET, FAULT, etc., are saved in the memory, by
creating an Event Log file, which records the time, date, device address, device type (module or sensor), device name, zone,
zone name, etc. Events which can be easily viewed via the panel or printed directly on the thermal printer in real time (Art.
41PRN100) or by exporting the Log file via programming software.
