1.INTRODUCTION 

 

THIS FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL IS CLASS 1 EQUIPMENT AND 

MUST

 

BE EARTHED  

 
This equipment must be installed and maintained by a qualified and technically experienced person.

 

 

1.1 HANDLING THE PCBS 

 

If the PCBs are to be removed to ease fitting the enclosure and cables, care must be taken to 
avoid damage by static. 

 

The best method is to wear an earth strap, but touching any earth point (eg building plumbing) will 
help to discharge any static. Hold PCBs by their sides, avoiding contact with any components. 
Always handle PCBs by their sides and avoid touching the legs of any components. Keep the PCBs 
away from damp dirty areas, e.g. in a small cardboard box. 

 
1.2 USING THIS MANUAL 

 

This manual explains, in a step-by-step manner, the procedure for the installation of the 

Premier SX

 

Range of Fire Alarm Control Panels.  For full operational and maintenance information, please refer 
to document GLT.MAN-102 (USER MANUAL, MAINTENANCE GUIDE & LOG BOOK).  It also 
contains a System set-up table, and Installation Certificate, that must be completed by the 
Commissioning Engineer prior to system handover. 

 

Unlike the User Manual, this Installation Manual must not be left accessible to the User.

1.4 DESIGNING THE SYSTEM 

 

This manual is not designed to teach Fire Alarm System design. It is assumed that the installer has 
an understanding of Fire Alarm System components and their use. 

 

We strongly recommend consultation with a suitably qualified, competent person regarding the 
design of the Fire Alarm System. The System must be commissioned and serviced in accordance 
with our instructions and the relevant National Standards.  Contact the Fire Officer concerned with 
the property at an early stage in case he has any special requirements. 

 

If in doubt, read BS 5839: Pt 1: 2002 “Fire Detection and Fire Alarm Systems for buildings (Code of 
Practice for System Design, Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance)” available from the BSI, 
or at your local reference library. 

 

1.5 EQUIPMENT GUARANTEE 

 

If this equipment is not fitted and commissioned according to our guidelines, and the relevant 
National Standards, by an approved and competent person or organisation, the warrantee may 
become void.

 

• 

The PREMIER SX Fire alarm control panel is 

available in 1,2,4,6 or 8 Zone sizes. 

• 

It has 2 sounder output circuits each capable of 

supplying 400mA.  

• 

It has a set of fire relay contacts (voltage free) rated

at 1A SELV.  

• 

It has a set of fault relay contacts (voltage free) 

rated at 1A SELV. This relay is normally 
powered to allow a fault output in the case of 
total power failure. 

• 

It has a class change connection to allow remote 

activation of the sounders. (not required by 
EN54-2) 

• 

It has the ability to disable any zone or the sounder 

circuits.  

• 

It has a one man test mode, which resets the zone 

in test after 7 seconds.(EN54 option with 
requirements) 

• 

It has a sounder delay facility (0-9 minutes in 1 

minute steps). (EN54 option with requirements) 

• 

It has a maximum battery capacity of 7 Ah. 

• 

It has an in built capability of operating with Diode 

bases (for line continuity on head removal). 

• 

It will operate in ambient temperatures of –5 to 

40

o

• 

It will operate in a relative humidity of up to 93% 

(non condensing) 

• 

It will withstand vibrations between 5 & 150 Hz 

• 

It has a maximum capacity of 32 devices per zone 

• 

The PSE is linear, with a 1.1A output at system 

voltage (18-32V) 

• 

The mains supply is filtered before entering the 

transformer. 

• 

The charger & battery are both fused at 1.6A 

(Quickblow) 

• 

The PSE will draw a maximum of 25uA from the 

battery in the event of mains failure. (the FACP 
will continue to take around 60mA) 

• 

The FACP & PSE should be maintained as 

described in section 3 of the User Manual, 
Maintenance Guide & Log Book.
