HUSH-ACTIV KITS
BS
5839-6 Grade C Domestic Fire Alarm Kits
INSTALLER’S GUIDE
Approved Document No. DFU0005086 Rev 3
The Hush-ActiV standalone domestic fire alarm kits have been designed to reduce the
incidence of false alarms in HMOs, dwellings, flats, etc., by providing a reliable, fully
monitored fire detection and alarm system complete with hush (silence) and test functions.

HUSH-ACTIV WIRING AND CONNECTIONS
(see Fig.2 for typical connections)
All wiring must be installed in accordance with all applicable national, regional or local
standards. In the UK this is BS
7671 (Wiring Regulations) and BS
5839-6 (Grade C System).

CON1 (-ZONE+): The conventional zone circuit connects up
to 16 ActiV detectors (3 detectors supplied with each kit).
Use the supplied diode bases (C4408D) with the detectors.
CON1 (-SNDR+): The conventional sounder circuit connects
up to 8 ActiV sounders (1 sounder supplied with each kit).
CON1 (DC 24V): Connects to 24V external PSU. Typically,
1mm to 1.5mm twin & earth cable may be used.
PLK4: Battery connector. To reduce battery drain, it is
recommended that the battery is connected after the
external 24V power is applied.

HUSH-ACTIV TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
Fig.2 - Typical HAK/1 Hush-ActiV Connections
Fit 35mm deep double gang UK back boxes for both the Hush-ActiV Controller (HA508) and
the Hush PSU (HPPSU). The Hush-ActiV system should be tested monthly per BS
5839-2, or
applicable national, regional or local regulations.

Advantages of a BS
5839 Part 6 Grade C system over a Grade D system
• Fault monitoring of the power supply.
• Fault monitoring of the interconnecting wiring.
• Allows residents to silence & test the system at floor level.
• Does not require mandatory replacement of devices every ten years.
Read these instructions before installation and operation
Refer to the individual
instructions supplied with
each ActiV device for
wiring and specifications.
Note: Connect the supplied EOL capacitor and EOL resistor across the terminals of the last
device on each circuit to allow the wiring to be line monitored for open and short circuit faults.
All -Ve terminals on CON1 are common -Ve. Typically, the conv. detector (ZONE) and sounder
(SNDR) circuits may be wired using 3-core cable, e.g. 1mm to 1.5mm triple & earth cable. All
terminals can accept cables up to 1.5mm. Alternatively, separate 2 x 2-core cable may be used.

PL2 Notes:
1. The wiring to this connection is NOT monitored.
2. The outputs will NOT function with a mains
fail at the HPPSU and therefore must NOT to
be used for life safety purposes.
3. The sounder trigger input is NOT monitored
and will sound at the same tone as the
domestic fire level 1 (FL1) of the Hush-ActiV
system, i.e. there is no separate domestic fire
level 2 (FL2) indications or sound.
