Flashpoint Weatherproof
26-0693 Issue 3
General Description
The Twinflex Weatherproof Flashpoint device provides visual indication when
the system enters an alarm condition. This device is compatible with the
Twinflex 2-wire range of Fire Alarm equipment and comprises a 2-wire zone-
powered visual indication beacon. This device may be installed on the same
zone as the Multipoint detector/sounder and associated Twinflex devices
.
Before Installation
The Flashpoint must be installed in compliance with the control panel
installation manual. The installation must also meet the requirements of any
local authority. For maximum performance the Flashpoint should be installed
in compliance with BS5839 Pt1 : 2002 + A2 : 2008.
Spacing
Fike recommends spacing of sounders and strobes in accordance with BS5839 Pt1. For more specific information
regarding spacing, placement and special applications please refer to BS5839 Pt1 : 2002 + A2 : 2008.
Device Installation
Pre-drill a minimum of 2 fixing holes in the back box as required. Fix the back box in a suitable position,
remembering to allow enough space for the correct termination of the appropriate fire resistant cable. All wiring
must be installed in compliance with the recommendations laid out by BS5839 Pt1 : 2002 as well as any special
recommendations documented in the control panel installation manual.
Connections
The cabling used should be
2-core 1.5mm
2
screened/earthed and fire resistant, of an
MICC or FP200 equivalent type and is to be in
the form of a 2-core radial circuit terminating at
the End of Line device. Cables may be
terminated into the connectors mounted in the
back box, as shown below. Also please ensure
that you use suitable cable glands for cable
entry in order to maintain the IP rating.
Care should be taken when terminating devices to ensure all cables are correctly sleeved and connections are
secure. Improper connections will prevent a system from responding properly in the event of a fire. Please
remember that all high voltage testing must be carried out before the installation of the Flashpoint front unit as this
may cause damage. It is important to maintain the screen continuity in order to protect against data corruption from
interference.
