MECHANICAL DATA
CABLE TYPES
System wiring should be installed in accordance with National Standards and wiring regulations.
To protect against electrical interference, we recommend the use of screened cables throughout the system. Separate
cables should be used for sounder and detection circuits, the use of multi-core cables to carry sounder circuits and detector
circuits is not recommended. The cable screen termination should only be connected to panel Earth points. The maximum
cross section of cables to use is 2.5mm, otherwise terminals in the control panel could be damaged.
Mains wiring should be 3 core 1mm² to 2.5mm² fed from an isolating circuit breaker of 6A. This should be secure from
unauthorized operation and be marked “Fire Alarm Do Not Switch Off”. The mains supply must be exclusive to the fire panel.
CONNECTING THE PANEL
Before connecting zones or sounder cables, power up the control panel with the Active EOL connected to the zone inputs
and the EOL resistors for the sounder/output lines connected. Then connect mains and battery power; there should be no
fault indications.
The mains supply should be routed away from the other cables and enter the control panel adjacent to the
mains terminal block.
Depending on panel load and standby requirements, two 12-volt VLRA batteries of capacity up to 7Ah may be fitted in the
housing. The batteries should be wired in series (24V) using the supplied link. Take care not to short circuit the battery
terminals.
Check zones, remote input and outputs wiring for continuity. Short or open circuit indications must be rectified before
connecting to the control panel. All cable testing must be carried out with a Multimeter…
NEVER use a Megger when
devices are connected.
Transfer EOL components to the last device on detection zones and sounder/output circuits and connect the cables to their
respective terminals in the control panel. Please refer to info available in next page.
