AUXILIARY FIRE RELAYS (2) AND FAULT RELAY (1) DETAIL
Two auxiliary fire relay outputs are provided on the NODE board. These
outputs are activated when a fire is detected (unless specifically inhibited).
They are labeled AUX1 and AUX2. Under the presence of any Fire Alarm
condition, these 2 relays will be energized. Both sets of contacts are of the
change-over type. Max. Contact current rating for each set of relay contacts is 2
Amp @ 30 V DC resistive / 0.5 Amp @ 120 V AC resistive.
One auxiliary fault relay output is also provided. This relay output will remain
closed while there are no faults present in the system. Under any fault
condition present, the relay will be de-energized and the relay contact will be
open. The Fault relay is NC and will open on any fault on the system.
The contact ratings are: 2 Amp @ 30 V DC resistive / 0.5 Amp @ 120 V AC resistive.
WARNING:
Relay outputs are not supervised.
Please ensure that any wiring connected to these outputs is power limited.
PANEL BATTERIES DETAIL
It is recommended that the batteries are fitted at the end of commissioning the system. Otherwise it can be difficult to
remove the power quickly if there is a problem.
The batteries are connected to the NODE circuit board. This battery connection not only supplies the panel with power if
the primary supply should fail, it also provides a charging output to maintain the batteries in a fully charged state.
Before connecting the batteries check the voltage across the battery connection terminals. It should be 27.5V +/- 0.5V.
NOTE:
Arcing and fire risk. Never short circuit the battery terminals.
Always connect the blue wire between the batteries last.
NOTE:
Place the batteries and cabling
inside the box according to the above
diagram. The cables should follow a path
as close to the metal bottom chassis as
possible. Both positive and negative
cables should also be slightly twisted, in
order to follow together into the
terminals.
