RFP V2 Panel Mounting
The control panel (RFP) should be located in a common area inside the residence,
IP enclosures are also available if the RFP required to be outside. The RFP must be
secured on a wall and be wired to the 230V
AC
supply to the dwelling by a licensed
electrician to a dedicated circuit. A mains isolate switch is provided to terminate the
mains power inside the cabinet and Earth stud to ensure earthing the metal
enclosure.

Zone Termination
Each Zone has separate terminals to interface the RFP to the Smoke/Heat Alarms
via 3 wires to supply 12V
DC
and interconnection across each zone, see Figure 7,
page 20. Zone power to the Alarms is protected with 1 A fuse. A forth wire will be
required for common fire mode if the Smoke Alarm is set to independent. As the
standard cables are supplied as a 4 core cable, the common practice is to terminate
the fourth wire to each Smoke / Heat Alarm as shown in the RFP block wiring
diagrams in Figure 12 page 37, Figure 13 page 38 and Figure 14 page 39.
The three wires are fully supervised by the RFP for open or short circuit fault via EOL
device SUB360. A fault indicator for each zone is provided and a panel buzzer to
provide audible indication. When the buzzer is silenced, a chirp every 20 second will
be given.
Note: If EOL device SUB360 is not used, the last smoke / heat alarm can be set to
be EOL using the DIP switch setting on the interface board SUB1012.
