Installation
Please read the following instructions before installing and wiring
the fire alarm panel.
This range of panels are EN54 parts 2 and 4 certified and have
been designed to comply with BS5839 part 1:2002 installations.
The panels have two optional features:-
FIRE ALARM DEVICES: (EN54 part 2 clause 7.8)
TEST CONDITION: (EN54 part 2 clause 10.0)
In common with all electrical equipment the panel should be
installed in a clean, dry, well ventilated area, not in direct sun light
and avoiding cold areas where possible. Note, temperatures in
excess of 40°C will affect the panel operation. The panel should
be located away from any potential hazard, in a position where it
is readily accessible to authorised staff and the fire services.
Ideally on the perimeter of a building near a permanent entrance.
Mains power supply
The mains supply should be exclusive to the fire alarm as
detailed in BS5839 part 1. It is recommended that a double pole
fused spur unit is used and marked “FIRE ALARM DO NOT
SWITCH OFF”, this should be for the sole use of the fire alarm.
Within the panel, the mains supply should be isolated from the
zone and alarm line wiring and should be connected to the
terminal block marked MAINS.
Battery connection
The 1, 2 & 4 zone panel requires a single battery (supplied):
1 zone panel:
1x12V 2.1Ah.
2 and 4 zone panels:
1x12v 3.2Ah
Connect the red battery wire to the red battery terminal (+).
Connect the black battery wire to the black battery terminal (-).
The 8 zone panel requires two batteries (supplied):
2x12v 3.2Ah
Connect the red battery wire to the red battery terminal (+) of
battery one.
Connect the black battery wire to the black battery terminal (-) of
battery two then connect the link cable as shown below.
Mount the panel, using pre drilled screw positions, to the wall.
This will prevent any possible brick dust contamination of the
panel internal circuitry.
When using 20mm conduit entry direct to the top of the
housing, use a coupler to ensure a wide distribution of pressure
when tightening the coupling.
