Mains Supply & Batteries
The Fire Alarm Panel 230V AC supply requires fixed wiring between 1 mm
2
and 2.5 mm
2
, with a 3 amp fused
un-switched spur with local isolation. The mains supply should be dedicated to the Fire Alarm Panel and
should be clearly labelled ‘FIRE ALARM: DO NOT SWITCH OFF’ at all isolation points.
Back Box Mains connection
If the mains fails and the panel is running on the battery supply the panel will shut down when the battery
voltage reaches the lowest voltage. This is approximately 21V and is an EN54 requirement to prevent the
batteries being deep discharged.
The panel will not however shut down if the batteries reach the Lowest Voltage while the panel is running on
the mains supply.
The standby time will vary depending on the system loading. The CIE-A-200 panel requires 2 x 12V 7Ah or
to increase battery standby times 2 x 12V 12Ah sealed lead acid batteries.
The 7Ah batteries are housed in the bottom part of the back box. The 12Ah batteries are housed in a separate
battery box.
The batteries should be connected in series using the fused connection leads supplied.
We recommend the use of Yuasa NP7-12 or other equivalent approved types.
To increase battery standby times, use Yuasa NP12-12 or other equivalent approved types.
Do not use any other capacity batteries on this system.
Using different capacity or type of batteries could also invalidate any warranty.
The panel can only use either 2 x 7Ah or 2 x 12Ah batteries it cannot use both sizes at once.
The 2 x 12V 12Ah sealed lead acid batteries are housed in a separately provided battery box, part number
550-0020
(sold separately). This should be mounted below the main panel and use a conduit coupler to link
the battery box wiring to the main panel back box.
