General product description
2.1
Overview
The Draco panel is a standalone fire control panel designed for wall mounting. This panel meets the
requirements for fire detection and fire alarm systems of EN 54 part 2 (control and indicating equipment) and
EN 54 part 4 (power supply equipment).
Draco has up to two addressable fire alarm and detection loops. Each panel can control up to 400 compatible
detection and alarm loop devices. Color LCD display and zone LED indicators make the user interface easy.
Full commissioning and maintenance reports can be obtained via the keyboard or downloaded from the USB
port. The panel includes an internal power supply with a battery charger that will ensure operation even in
the event of interruptions to the building's power supply. Optional expansion modules, such as the printer or
the additional battery cabinet, allow the system to adapt to the needs of the installation.

EN 54 optional features
The Draco panel has been designed following the EN 54-2 standard. In addition to its mandatory
requirements, it also provides the following optional features with the requirements of EN 54:
Embedded EN 54-4 Power supply with battery charger:
The built-in power supply in the Draco control panel allows it to operate even in the event of a power outage.
The panel is compatible with standard 7, 12 and 17 Ah capacity sealed lead-acid batteries. Please note that
to house 17 Ah batteries, the optional JBE-BAT battery cabinet is required.
Detailed diagnosis, indications and control:
Draco features the intelligent JBE loop protocol and a sophisticated user interface. Thanks to this, the system
can process and control real time data from each device connected to the loop. This allows offering the
following features, amongst others:
-
Display of status and faults for
each loop device (detectors, manual call points, output modules…)
-
Disablements of individual points or complete zones
-
Disablement of individual output modules or output groups
-
Testing individual outputs or output groups
-
Setting individual zones in and out of test while the rest of the building remains protected
Loop devices and fire detection zones:
Each Draco panel can drive up to two class A detection loops. Each detection loop can control up to 200
loop addresses, which can be configured for detection and/or alarm functions. That is, each panel can host
a maximum of 400 addressable devices.
Detectors, MCPs and input modules are associated to detection zones. The fire panel logic allows
configuring up to 400 zones. The fire panel’s user interface provides a dedicated LED alarm indicator for
each of the first 30 zones.
