11.1 eXentro Fire Panel (FP):
The Fire Panel is used to manually activate emergency announcements using a microphone or pre-
recorded messages. With its highest priority in the system (when connected to the Master ECU unit)
it will override any emergency message generated by any other EVACuation panel, Fire Alarm System
interface or External Audio input. It allows to select (groups) of zones using the ABCD buttons. These
ABCD buttons can also be programmed for additional message selection. System errors, alarm, power
supply (AC & DC) and panel status will be indicated using LEDs. The Fire Panel is housed in a closed
enclosure and can be located near the fire man’s entrance of a building. If required it can be extended
with an eXentro FP/EP ZE module, which allows selection of more (groups of) zones. Optional accessory
cards like 24 VDC input control, relay contact outputs & GPO control are available.
1. Status indicators:
• 230 VAC – green LED indicates presence of 230 VAC
• 48 VDC – green LED indicates presence of 48 VDC
• ALARM – red LED to indicate an activated emergency message
• ERROR – yellow LED & buzzer to indicate an error in the system
• Panel disabled – yellow LED indicates 'user disabled' when ON.
Requires key combination to enable.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If the Panel disabled indicator is 'flashing' while the ERROR indicator &
Buzzer are activated, this indicates that the communication between the eXentro ECU and the
panel is lost; Alarm messages and microphone can not be operated anymore from this panel!
