SUB-PANEL
WIRING
The F08 can be used as a sub-panel or it can be used as the master panel to a number of
sub-panels. The following information details how the F08 can be used as a master panel to
monitor other panels. How F08 is used as a sub-panel will depend on what the master panel
is.
When an F08 is the master panel it may have multiple sub-panels connected to it but with
the following restrictions:
i.
Each sub-panel must be connected on a separate circuit with separate wiring to the
master panel with the exception that co-located (i.e. physically adjacent) sub-panels
may be connected on the same circuit.
ii.
Each sub-panel may have a maximum of ten zones and a maximum of 250 devices.
For co-located sub-panels connected on the same circuit the total number of zones on
all the co-located sub-panels must not exceed 10 and the total number of devices must
not exceed 250.
There are three ways in which the information from sub-panels can be indicated on the F08.
1)
The sub-panel is shown as a SINGLE ZONE. An ALARM is shown as an alarm, and
FAULT, ISOLATE, and STANDBY (if provided) are shown as fault.
-
This is used when the sub-panel "STANDBY" signal is not required to signal
Fire to the Brigade.
2)
The sub-panel is shown as a SINGLE ZONE. ALARM and STANDBY are shown as
an ALARM, and FAULT and ISOLATE (if provided) are shown as FAULT. This can
be used when the mapping and indication of Alarm and Standby from the sub-panel
are the same.
3)
The sub-panel is shown as TWO ZONES. One zone shows ALARM as alarm, and
FAULT as fault. The other zone shows alarm when the sub-panel is in STANDBY,
and FAULT when the sub-panel is isolated.
-
This can be used when ALARM and STANDBY signals from the sub-panel
must be mapped or indicated separately.
In all cases, the AZC at the F08 should be programmed as circuit type 1, which provides
open circuit fault monitoring and no AVF.
When using sub-panels with clean contact outputs a line resistance of up to 100 ohms can
be supported with the standard 2k7 1% End of Line. For long or high resistance lines a
resistance of up to 700 ohms is acceptable if a 2k2 5% End of Line resistor is used.
These resistances will guarantee open circuit fault recognition and also short circuit alarm in
the 0-13V band.
