11. Emergency panels

2. Jumper J6 & J7 - Mic/Line input selection:

Place J7 "MI" and leave J6 "LI" open for Mic level input (which is default)
Place J6 "LI" and leave J7 "MI" open for Line level input

3. Jumper J9:

place jumper for RS485 termination on the last emergency panel at the end of the line.

4. Reset emergency switch:

toggle switch (to left) to reset/pause the emergency (used in FAS

to reset/pause automatically activated emergency situation by the fire alarm system).

5. Wire link to optional GPO card.

6. Dipswitch 1 to 16 (seen from left to right):

*Note:

For the FAS the default settings for ‘Enable panel code’, switches 4 to 7,

are all set to OFF.

**Note:

Dipswitch 14 must be set to OFF for an EVACuation/Fire Panel - when set to ON this may

cause panel handling issues!

***Note:

Dipswitch 15 does not affect the FP/EP operation as these always use 'Alarm Start

Switch'; dipswitch is only used for FAS.

ID - RS485 addresses:

7. Panel bus connector (in/out):

Connect the cable coming from the ECU unit according below pin out.

8. Button input contact connectors:

These inputs can be used to trigger the function using external switches.

NOTE 1:

Multiple panels must be connected in daisy chain; the RS

485 termination jumper must be placed in the last panel on the

line. Star configuration is not allowed. Note that the Panel bus In

& Out connectors are pin reversed compared to the eXentro ECU

panel bus connectors!

NOTE 2:

Connect the shield of the cable entering the emergency

panel to the housing of the panel! At the side of the eXentro ECU,

the shield of this cable must be connected to the 19" rack cabinet!
