Twinflex Flashpoints can be mixed on the same zone as other types of Twinflex device (eg. Twinflex Multipoint
Detectors). The above diagram shows how to make the zone positive, zone negative and screen connections
between the control panel and Twinflex Flashpoints. Refer to the instruction leaflets supplied with other Twinflex
devices for their equivalent wiring/terminal labelling details.
Please note that the SCRN terminal in the Flashpoint back boxes should only be connected to the zone cable
screen and NOT to the building earth. The cable screen is connected to earth at the panel end only, via the zone
“SCRN” terminal (or EARTH terminal on the Twinflex V3 2/4/8 Zone panels).
Once all testing has been carried out on the cabling and ‘continuity & integrity’ has been proven, the Flashpoint unit
may be assembled. The Flashpoint is installed by pushing the front unit gently home. The four fixing screws may
then be tightened as required.
Remember that the device at the end of the line must have its EOL signal activated using the
relevant DIL switch. Do not use a resistor or capacitor (or another manufacturer’s End of Line
device) as the end of line, as this may prevent correct operation of the zone.
DIL Switch Settings
The device DIL switches may be used to program the operation of the Flashpoint Beacon.
They may be altered whilst the device is still powered or the system may be powered down
completely.
The last device on the circuit must have the EOL signal enabled (switch number 1 in the ‘ON’
position).
