INTRODUCTION
The Fusion combines a powerful multi-loop analogue addressable control panel with conventional
and TWIN WIRE technologies and has been designed in accordance with European standards EN54
-2 and EN54-4, Fire Detection and Alarm systems - Control and Indicating Equipment. It utilises the
latest surface mount technology with a flash programmable 32 bit micro-controller for easier software
updates.
The panel operates with Apollo, XP95 & Discovery analogue addressable protocols and also
supports the Apollo and Hochiki ranges of conventional field devices. Four internal sounder circuits
are provided in the base unit, with an additional two circuits per loop card. Extra sounder circuits can
be provided with the use of modular PCBs.
The control panel is programmable via the keypad controls or via a PC or laptop, allowing the
configuration to be created off-site and uploaded.
In addition to the requirements of EN54-2 the control panel has the following facilities:-
Test Condition,
to allow the automatic resetting of zones in alarm for testing purposes. EN54-2
Section 10, option with requirements.
Outputs to Fire Alarm Devices,
to enable an audible warning to be sounded throughout a premises
upon the detection of a fire condition or the operation of a manual call point. EN54-2 section 7.8,
option with requirements.
Output to Fire Alarm Routing Equipment
, monitored signal for use with remote, manned stations
etc. EN54-2, section 7.9.1, option with requirements.
Delays to Outputs
, programmable delays to outputs can be configured. EN54-2 section 7.11, option
with requirements.
Note: If these delays are configured, a manual call point must be installed near the panel for the
purpose of overriding the delay.
Disablements of Addressable Devices
, EN54-2 section 9.5, option with requirements
Fault signals from points
, EN54-2 section 8.3, option with requirements
Also in addition to the requirements of EN54-2, all control panels have voltage free relay contacts for
faults and fire These are to be used for local control and signalling.
The Fusion has individually isolatable panel contacts via the menu with an auto enablement feature
and the option to remove all disablements. The menu is comprehensive, yet easy to use, allowing
electrical isolation of the loop via the keyboard. The menu also includes an enhanced test mode, with
or without sounders allowing all zones to be tested simultaneously if required.
It has a real time
clock, with back up, utilising a smart cap rather than a battery, thus eliminating battery life issues.
The Fusion incorporates a very fast auto learn sequence, only learning selected parts of the loop,
and if required can unlearn devices from the system. It supports the Apollo ancillary base sounders
and relays, local, zonal or common operation. A device monitoring mode allows activation of the
device outputs and control of the loop polling direction. Also there is a selectable maintenance
scanning threshold.
The Fusion has full networking capabilities as standard, utilising reliable CAN bus technology, with
response settings to evacuate,1st alarm, 2nd alarm, precinct and fault signals, with programmable
responses for loop sounders, panel sounder circuits, remote relays and loop modules.
