Be careful when creating access for cables – Damage to circuit boards will void any warranty! 

 

Detectors are sold separately and shipped pre-calibrated and configured!

 

 

   Board Connections Overview 

 

POWER/LINE IN 100-240vac mains power is supplied to the [POWER/LINE IN] connector using a 3-core cable fused 
at 3A. On connecting the mains supply to the panel the power LED indicator will light up – this is located on the 
front. 

 

GAS VALVE 100-240vac electrical power output from the [VALVE OUT] terminal using a 3-core cable to a gas 
solenoid valve, which can shut the gas supply on alarm status.  
 
GAS DETECTOR (Zones 1 – 4) 24vdc power supply to gas detectors are wired to [GAS DETECTOR ZONE] 
terminals. For more information, see sectionWiring your detector. 

 

EM REMOTE An open/close switch for remote emergency shut-off buttons detailed on the circuit board as [EM 
STOP].  

 

HEAT SENSOR An open/close switch for heat sensors/ thermal links detailed as [HEAT SENSOR].  

 

FIRE PANEL An open/close switch for fire alarms detailed on the circuit board as [FIRE PANEL].  

 

BMS OUTPUT Connections are available on the board for Building Management Systems. These are volt free 
connections. This is a relay that changes state in alarm or when the gas is on/off and used in conjunction with the 
24vdc output and other external relays that affect other devices and controls such as purge fans and audible alarms 
etc. 

 

SOUNDER-STROBE 24vdc output for an external sounder alarm/ strobe lighting to activate on alarm.
