MFP REPEATER PANEL
(Part No. FF596)
Installation Instructions
This document is written with the assumption that the reader is familiar with the functions and
installation details of the MFP range of fire panels. If this is not the case, then please familiarise yourself
with the MFP Instructions before proceeding any further.
MFP Repeater System Overview
The MFP Repeater system is designed to mimic the key functions of the MFP Main panel at other parts
of a building. These functions include:
•
Indicate zones in Fire (up to 32 zones, in multiples of eight)
•
Indicate a general system fault
•
Allow the user to Reset, Silence and Evacuate
•
Provide control outputs for Fire and Fault Conditions.
Up to eight MFP Repeater panels (Part No. FF596) may be connected to one MFP Main panel with power
and communication transmitted using 2 core network cable. The wiring may be run in any convenient
way that complies with the relevant Fire and Electrical Regulations for the site. The wiring may also be
spurred if required, see Figure 1 below:
The Repeater system is implemented by installing a Repeater Transmitter PCB (Part No. FF596T) in the
MFP Main panel. This PCB handles the two wire communications network to the Repeaters.
Each Repeater consists of a Main Receiver PCB which connects to the 2 wire network. This PCB has the
Fault LEDs and controls and also incorporates the Fire Zone LEDs for the first eight zones. The Repeater
panel is expanded in multiples of eight by installing 8 Zone Extender PCBs (Part No. FF596R), up to a
maximum of 32 zones.
