Connecting to Master Fire Panel
General
To connect to a Master Indicator Panel, there is some connections to be made between the panels and then some
programming configuration in the Master Panel.
FPC-2 as a sub-panel with stand-alone detection and activation
Following explains connection and configuration to Sigma XT
Master Panel. The concepts will be similar to other
brands/types on master panel.
The connections are 24vDC power which can come from
Sigma XT
–
or an appropriate external source, and a Single
detection Zone is require on Sigma to allow inputs from FPC-
2.
The EOL Resistor ensures that this circuit is monitored from
the Sigma XT panel.
Once the connections are complete. The Sigma XT panel
must be programmed correctly to set up the FP-C2 as a
remote device. This must be done so that FP-C2 is not treated
as a regular detection device. When programmed correctly,
the FP-C2 will alert the main Sigma XT panel of any alarm or
fault states.
On the Sigma XT FIP, enter Access Level 2 by turning the key in
“Enable Control” port on the Detection ca
rd (top card) or by
releasing the read switch by opening the inner Perspex door.
1.
Move the “Write Enable” switch to the right
on the
Detection Card (top card). The “System Mode” LCD
display will read “00”.
2.
The FIP’s detection
options are numbered. Using the
controls on the Detection Card, navigate the “System
Mode” LCD display reads “7#”. To do this press the
“Mode (+10)” button until the first number is “7” and
then press the “Select (+1)” button until the display shows the correct detection circuit.
3.
The detection circuit number will have a flashing dot next to the
number, indicating that it is programmed for conventional detection.
Press the “Enter” button to change the detection circuit to S/C mode.
This will cause the flashing dot to turn off.
4.
Mo
ving the “Write Enable” switch to the left
.
Thermal Fuse Connection
A Thermal Fuse to be connected to the ONE of the FirePro Aerosol
Generators in the activation circuit.
The Thermal Fuse allows notification to a control panel that a FirePro
unit has activated. It should be installed in accordance with the
instructions included in the relevant FirePro document.
Menu setting in the XT card allows for a
normally closed (inverted)
input to be used.
