INTRODUCTION
The Premier EX 8 is a combined 2 zone , 1 area extinguishing panel, and 4 zone
conventional fire alarm panel.
It has 2 zones dedicated to the extinguishing section. These are known as crossed or
co-incidence zones. Both circuits will need to be triggered in order to activate the
extinguishing circuit. This kind of operation also referred to as “double – knock”
It has 4 zones for fire detection (referred to as peripheral zones, or fire zones). These
will not trigger the extinguishing circuit.
The Extinguishing section is designed to BSEN12094-1:2003.
The fire alarm section is designed to EN54-2:1998 A1 + A2.
The Power Supply section is designed to EN54-4:1998 A1 + A2
This design allows the same panel to protect an extinguishing area, and also monitor
the rest of the site for a fire.
The panel has an integral Manual Release call point fitted to the front of the panel.
The panel has monitored inputs for field connections, such as manual release,
emergency hold, etc.
The panel has relay outputs for first & second stage alarms, fault & gas fired.
The panel has remote inputs for Start/Stop Sounders, Silence & Reset, to allow the
panel to be controlled remotely.
The panel has Open collector repeat outputs for most panel status indications (eg 1
st

The panel has a connection for a serial repeater unit (4 wire)
