1.INTRODUCTION
THIS FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL IS CLASS 1 EQUIPMENT
AND MUST BE EARTHED
This equipment must be installed and maintained by a qualified and technically experienced person.
1.1 HANDLING THE PCBS
If the PCBs are to be removed to ease fitting the enclosure and cables, care must be taken to
avoid damage by static.
The best method is to wear an earth strap, but touching any earth point (eg building plumbing) will
help to discharge any static. Hold PCBs by their sides, avoiding contact with any components.
Always handle PCBs by their sides and avoid touching the legs of any components. Keep the PCBs
away from damp dirty areas, e.g. in a small cardboard box.
1.2 USING THIS MANUAL
This manual explains, in a step-by-step manner, the procedure for the installation of the
Optima
Range of Fire Alarm Control Panels. For full operational and maintenance information, please refer
to document GLT.MAN-110 (USER MANUAL, MAINTENANCE GUIDE & LOG BOOK). It also
contains a System set-up table, and Installation Certificate, that must be completed by the
Commissioning Engineer prior to system handover.
Unlike the User Manual, this Installation Manual must not be left accessible to the User.
1.3 ABOUT THE OPTIMA FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL & INTEGRAL PSE
1.4 DESIGNING THE SYSTEM
This manual is not designed to teach Fire Alarm System design. It is assumed that the installer has
an understanding of Fire Alarm System components and their use.
We strongly recommend consultation with a suitably qualified, competent person regarding the
design of the Fire Alarm System. The System must be commissioned and serviced in accordance
with our instructions and the relevant National Standards. Contact the Fire Officer concerned with
the property at an early stage in case he has any special requirements.
If in doubt, read BS 5839: Pt 1: 2002 “Fire Detection and Alarm Systems for buildings (Code of
Practice for System Design, Installation and Servicing)” available from the BSI, or at your local
reference library.

•
The PSE is linear, with a 1.1A output at system
voltage (18-32V)
•
The charger & battery are both fused at 1.6A
(Quickblow)
•
The PSE will draw a maximum of 25uA from the
battery in the event of mains failure. (the FACP
will continue to take around 60mA)
