1 Introduction
This manual contains the information and the instructions required to install, commission, operate and
maintain the JBE-P2L1 (Draco) fire control panel.
Only trained professionals should attempt to install this panel. An incorrect installation may not provide the
performance expected from fire safety devices.
2 General product description
2.1.
Overview
The Draco panel is a standalone fire control panel designed for wall mounting. This panel meets the
requirements for fire detection and fire alarm systems of EN 54 part 2 (control and indicating equipment) and
EN 54 part 4 (power supply equipment).
Draco features up to two addressable fire detection and alarm loops. Each panel can control up to 400
compatible detection and alarm loop devices. The panel color LCD and LED zone boards make a friendly
user interface. Comprehensive commissioning and maintenance reports can be obtained through the keypad
or downloaded from the USB port. The panel includes an internal power supply and a battery charger which
will ensure operation even in the event of interruptions of the building’s mains power. Optional expansion
modules such as the printer or the supplementary battery box allow the system to adjust to the installation’s
needs.

EN 54 optional features
The Draco panel has been designed following the EN 54-2 standard. In addition to its mandatory
requirements, it also provides the following optional features with EN 54 requirements:
Embedded EN 54-4 Power supply with battery charger:
The power supply built in the Draco control panel allows its operation even in the event of interruption of
mains power supply. The panel is compatible with standard 12 V sealed lead-acid batteries of 7, 12 and 17
Ah of capacity. Note that to host the 17 Ah batteries, the optional battery box JBE-BAT is needed.
Detailed diagnostics, indications and control:
Draco features the intelligent JBE loop protocol and a sophisticated user interface. Thanks to this, the system
can process and control real time data from each device connected to the loop. This allows offering the
following features, amongst others:
- Display of status and faults for each loop device (detectors, manual call points, output modules…)
- Disablements of individual points or complete zones
- Disablement of individual output modules or output groups
- Testing individual outputs or output groups
- Setting individual zones in and out of test while the rest of the building remains protected
Loop devices and fire detection zones:
Each Draco panel can drive up to two class A detection loops. Each detection loop can control up to 200
loop addresses, which can be configured for detection and/or alarm functions. That is, each panel can host
a maximum of 400 addressable devices.
Detectors, MCPs and input modules are associated to detection zones. The fire panel logic allows
configuring up to 400 zones. The fire panel’s user interface provides a dedicated LED alarm indicator for
each of the first 30 zones.
