INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
302-0004 Twinflex Hipoint
26-0378 Issue 5
Introduction
The Twinflex Hipoint unit allows for audible 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 sounder. This device may
be installed on the same zone as the Multipoint detector/sounder and associated
Twinflex devices
.
Before Installation
The Sounder 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 detector should be installed in
compliance with BS5839 Pt1 : 2002 + A2 : 2008.
Spacing
Fike recommends spacing of sounders in accordance with BS5839 Pt1. For more specific information regarding
sounder spacing, placement and special applications please refer to BS5839 Pt1 : 2002 + A2 : 2008.
Device Installation
Fix the back box in a suitable position using at least two screw holes/slots, remembering to allow enough cable
length for installation. 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 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.
No screen connection is allowed for within the device. Incoming and outgoing cable
screens must therefore be connected through using a suitable connector. It is
important to maintain the screen continuity in order to protect against data corruption
from interference.
Once all testing has been carried out on the cabling and
continuity & insulation
has
been proven, the Hipoint front may be fitted. The Hipoint front is fitted by locating the
rubber seal in the groove on the back box and then pushing the front unit gently
home. The four fixing screws may then be tightened as required.
Remember that the device at the end of the line must have its EOL signal activated using the
relevant DIL switch. Do not use a resistor or capacitor (or another manufacturer’s End of Line
device) as the end of line, as this may prevent correct operation of the zone.
