commissioning
process
Before powering up the Nano Panel
Open the outer cover of the panel and:
– Check all the internal cables within the panel are securely fitted.
– Ensure no external circuits are connected at this stage except for
the mains supply which must be connected but NOT switched ON.
– Fit the end-of-line resistors to the master alarm circuits.
– Connect the external printer to the RS232 port, if installed.
Inform responsible person(s)
Inform responsible person(s) that the fire alarm system is being
commissioned and occupants in the protected premises will hear
test alarms.
Ensure occupants are made aware of alternative site procedures
should there be a fire event while the system is commissioned.
Pre visit checks
Ensure you have:
showing the installation of system equipment
Access to all the protected areas where system equipment is installed
Installer present to rectify wiring faults
Tools and spare parts available.

working on the system,
such as when wiring or replacing parts
Survey the installation
Refer to the most recent
and ensure that all the fire
system equipment has been installed in accordance with the
installation instructions, respective standards and project specification.

Power up
– Fit the batteries inside the panel enclosure and connect the battery
leads and then switch ON the mains supply.
Initial tests and set ups
– Carry out a display test and ensure DISPLAY and LEDs are working.
– Set the system clock time and date.
Configure the RS232 printer port, if a printer is installed.
– Access levels and PIN codes
–
Loop Devices
Configure the links on all 4-channel interface units connected to the
loop. Ensure links are set for the required Input or Output application.
–
– Power up the mains powered interface units on the loop.
Ensure all interface Input/Output external wiring remains
disconnected at this stage, unless otherwise instructed. This
action will prevent inadvertent operation output/plant while
the system is being commissioned.
Loop Device address allocation
– Connect only End 1 of the loop circuit and power-up the loop.
– Allow address allocation to finish. Any fault(s) on the loop during
allocation must be rectified. Power-down the loop when correcting
loop wiring faults and the power-up to continue address allocation.
– Connect only End 2 of the loop circuit and power cycle the loop and
ensure address allocation is complete from End 2.
– Connect both End 1 and End 2 of the loop and check the loop
allocation is complete with both ends of the loop connected.
– ‘Start Detection’ after a successful allocation of addresses.
– Check all the devices on the loop circuit are installed in their correct
location using the ‘Find Device’ function at the panel and by referring
to the ‘
’.
– Check to ensure correct devices are installed by viewing the
‘Device details’.
