Control/LED
LED colour Description
Sounder Start/Stop
button and LED
Red The LED indicates what ha ppens when the button is
pressed.
If the LED is on (flashing or steady), pressing the button
silences the sounders.
If the LED is off, pressing the button activates the
sounders (if the control panel status and operating
mode allow manual activation of sounders).
The LED also indicates the status of the sounders:
• Steady
indicates that sounders are active (or will be
activated shortly)
• Flashing indicates that a delay is counting
(sounders are activated when the configured delay
elapses or when the delay is cancelled)
• Off indicates that the sounders are off (or will be
deactivated shortly)
To prevent the immediate silencing of sounders when
an alarm is first reported, the Sounder Start/Stop button
may be temporarily blocked when a configured
sounder
delay is counting down. For more information, see
“Sounders silence disab le ti me” on page 98.
Depending on the size of the installation, processing
commands to start or stop sounders may take a few
seconds to travel through the system. This is why, for
example, the LED may be steady but sounders may not
initially be audible.
Panel Silence button

Yellow Silences the co ntrol pa nel buzzer.
A steady LED indicates that the buzzer has been
silenced.
Reset button and LED
Yellow Resets the control panel and clears all current system
events.
A steady LED indicates that the control panel can be
reset in the current user level.

A flashing yellow LED indicates a fault. A steady yellow
LED indicates a disablement or a test.
Output group LED indications
The control panel can be configured to have several sounder, fire routing, or fire
protection output groups. Some groups may use the same indicators. When such
groups have the same status, that status is indicated. In the case of conflicting
status, the highest priority status is displayed.
Note: For evacuation panels, indications for output groups associated with the
programmable buttons use the corresponding programmable button LEDs.
The following examples illustrate this operation.
There are three sounder output groups, the first in fault status, the second in
delayed status, and the third in activated status. The sounder indications display
the fault status of the first group, the delay status of the second group, and the
activated status of the third group.
Page 16
Chapter 1: Introduction
10 2X Series Installation Manual
There are two fire routing output groups, the first is in activated status and the
second is in acknowledged status. The fire routing indication displays the
acknowledged status but not the activation status (the acknowledgement status
takes priority).

[
4] This kit contains a 3 m cable and the 2010-2-232-IB isolation board required for external
RS-232 device connections.
Other types of cable may be used subject to site-specific electromagnetic
interference (EMI) condi ti ons and ins tal l ation testing.
Using shielded loop cable
In most installations shielded loop cable is not required and the system has been
validated to operate in standard conditions with unshielded twisted-pair cable.
However, shielded cable provides more flexibility in solving site-specific EMI
problems and may be used, subject to following these guidelines:
• Use a multimeter to check that the shield is fully isolated from earth, the loop
positive, and the loop negative lines before connecting the shield to a single
point in the installation. The same isolation must be provided for any other
site wiring and loop cabling should avoid any known sources of EMI at the
site.
• Use the earth studs in the control panel cabinet (if you need to reduce
interference). See Figure 4 on page 17 or Figure 5 on page 18 for the location
of the earth studs.
The PCB terminal earthing connections only improve noise immunity in very
specific environmental conditions. In some cases, leaving the earth fully
isolated provides the best protection against EMI.
Page 31
Chapter 2: Installation
2X Series Installation Manual 25
To determine noise immunity, check the communications error rate and the
stability of analogue values for installed devices.
Securing cables
Use 20 mm cable glands to ensure clean and secure connections. All cables
should be fed through the cable guides in the cabinet housing to eliminate
movement.

Connecting loops
Loop guidelines
For best results, follow these guidelines when connecting loops:
• Install at least one isolator per loop (we recommend one for every 32
devices).
• Keep loop cabling away from high-voltage cables (or any other source of
interference).
• Star, stub, and T-tap configurations are not recommended.
• Install loop devices with a high current consumption as close as possible to
the control panel.
Page 33
Chapter 2: Installation
2X Series Installation Manual 27
• Ensure that the loop cable complies with the cable specifications outlined in
“Recommended cables” on page 24.
• If using shielded loop cable, ensure that the shield is continuous (connected
through to each loop device). To prevent earth loops c aus ed by
electromagnetic interference, only one cable shield should be connected to
earth, as shown in Figure 12 on page 25.
Class A loop connection
Connect Class A loops as shown in Figure 12 on page 25. Class A loops ar e
supervised for open and short circuits. Terminate unused Class A loops A (+) to
B (+) and A (−) to B (−).
Class B loop connection
Caution: Class B loops do not comply with EN 54-13 requir eme nts . N ever install
more than 32 devices on a Class B loop.
Connect Class B loops as shown in Figure 14 below. Connection may be made
to either the A connectors (as shown) or to the B connectors, but not to both.
Class B loops are supervised for short circuit.

Connecting loop devices
Each loop can support up to 128 devices. For detailed loop device installation
information, see your device installation sheet.
Connecting inputs
Input functionality
Each control panel has two supervised inputs, marked INPUT1 and INPUT2. For
input configuration, see “Field configuration” on page 73.
Connecting inputs
Connect input switches to INPUT1 and INPUT2, as shown in Figure 12 on page
25. For input supervision (open and short circuit), install a 15 kΩ resistor.
If an input is not used, the 15 kΩ end-of-line resistor must be installed across the
unused terminals to avoid an open circuit fault on the input.

Connecting fire and fault outputs
Connect the FIRE OUT SUPERVIS and FAULT OUT SUPERVIS outputs as
shown in Figure 12 on page 25. A 15 kΩ end-of-line resistor is required.
Connecting the mains pow e r supply
Caution: Connect the mains power supply before connecting the batteries.
The control panel can be operated at 110 VAC 50/60 Hz or 240 VAC 50/60 Hz
(+10%/−15%).
Mains power should be sourced directly from a separate circuit breaker in the
building electrical supply distribution board. This circuit should be clearly marked,
should have a bipolar disconnect device, and should only be used for fire
detection equipment.
Feed all mains cables through the appropriate cable knockouts and connect
them to the fuse terminal block as shown in Figure 15 on page 31.
Page 37
Chapter 2: Installation
2X Series Installation Manual 31
Keep mains cables separate from other cabling to avoid potential short circuits
and interference. Use the provided cable ties to secure mains cables to the
cabinet on either side of the fuse terminal block to prevent movement.
Caution: If the control panel has a network board installed, the mains cable must
enter the cabinet from the bott om for pr oper o per ati o n.

Chapter 2: Installation
32 2X Series Installation Manual
Connecting the batterie s
The control panel requires two 12 V, rechargeable, sealed lead-acid batter i es
with 7.2, 12, or 18 Ah capacity (see “Battery maintenance” on page 107).
Batteries are located inside the control panel cabinet and must be installed in
series. Polarity must be observed.
Connect batteries to the BAT connector on the control panel PCB. No other
equipment may be connected to the BAT connector.
Note: If the control panel indicates a Supply Fault, then the batteries may need
to be replaced.
Connecting expansion boards
Caution: Always disconnect the control panel from the mains power supply
before installing an expansion board.
See your expansion board installation sheet for detailed installation information.
Connecting a fire network
Note: See your network board installation sheet for detailed installation and
connection information.
Each network board has two ports. Each port is connected (point to point) to the
corresponding ports of the network board in another control panel.
Figure 17: Network board connections
Two wiring options are possible:
• Ring configuration
• Bus configuration
Page 39
Chapter 2: Installation
2X Series Installation Manual 33
Ring configuration
Ring network configuration is recommended as it provides for redundancy in the
transmission path.
For ring configuration (Class A), use both ports to connect all network boards or
control panels to form a ring, as shown below.
Figure 18: Fire network ring configuration
Bus configuration
Caution: Use bus network configuration only in cases where the detection zones
and mandatory EN 54-2 output functions (sounder and fire routing outputs) are
not remote between panels.
Bus network configuration is not recommended. It does not provide for
redundancy in the transmission path and creates a fire network much more
sensitive to faults.
For bus configuration (Class B), connect control panels as shown below.

Configuration overview
PC-based configuration
For best results we recommend that the control panel and fire system is
configured using our Configuration Utility software application.
Benefits of using the Configuration Utility include:
• New configurations can be prepared in advance of installation and applied to
the control panel and fire system quickly and easily at the site
• Current configuration files can be saved directly to a USB flash drive and
modified in the Configuration Utility
• Advanced programming of rules to generate actions is available
A rule consists of one or more states (combined by Boolean operators) that
are configured to trigger specific system actions after a specific confirmation
time.
An action is the activation of output gr oups or t he ex ec uti on o f programmable
commands in the system.
Rules programming is also known as cause and effect programming, I/O logic
activation, etc.

Control panels in the same network can have different day/night mode sensitivity
settings.
If the command filter is configured accordingly, a control panel can operate a
local day/night mode setting independently from other control panels in the same
network. A local day/night mode setting is indicated on the local control panel
LCD by the corresponding icon. See “Icons di s played on the LCD” on page 11.
If the control panel is a repea ter , remember that the day/night mode displayed
corresponds to those control panels configured to accept the global sensitivity
mode command. Some control panels in the netw or k may be oper ating with
locally-defined sensitivity settings.
The day/night mode setting for all control panels in a fire network is included in
the Firenet status report.

Zones in networked control panels are considered global. If two networked
control panels each include, for example, Zone 5, then these are grouped to
create a single Zone 5 configuration within the network.
Remote zones
The control panel also considers an additional zone called remote zone (REMT)
which spans all the zones in the system outside the control panel zones range.
This virtual zone can be configured like any other zone in the system and it is
important to define output group activation requirements when the panel receives
remote alarms.

Zone test/disable timeout
The Zone test/disable timeout sets an independent timeout value (in minutes) for
zone test and disablement operations for the local control panel.
When the control panel is in a Maintenance or Installer user level, active zone
test or disablement operations stop when the corresponding timeout value is
reached.
The default test timeout value is 60 minutes. This value must be set to 000 to
disable the timeout and to force the manual cessation of zone test operations. By
default, no disable timeout v alue is con fig ur e d.
Zones previously disabled via the Zone configuration menu are not included in
the timeout command and no chang es ar e m ade to z one stat us.
Note: This feature is not compliant with EN 54-2.

Zone alarm confirmation
Zone confirmation is an alarm coincidence configuration method designed to
reduce nuisance alarms. A first al ar m event places the zone and the control
panel into alert status. Full alarm status is not confirmed until a second alarm is
reported in the same zone or in a configured area. See “Area configuration” on
page 81 for more information on areas.

Output group activation
Output groups can be activated by any of the following:
• Zone activation with delays
• Output group confirmation for specific outputs (EN 54-2 type C)
• Logic rules (configured via the configuration utility PC application)
• Manual activation by programmable start/stop buttons (evacuati o n pan el s
only)
To avoid unexpected alarm behaviour, consider the activation options when
configuring your fire system. If zone activation is not programmed correctly then
a zone in alarm could override any required confirmation configuration of an
output group.
Delayed output group activation with alarm confirmation
Note: This option is complia nt with EN 54 type C alarm confirmation.
Activation of control panel output groups can be delayed based on alarm
confirmation configuration (this may be used, for example, with outputs for
extinguishing devices). The maximum configurable delay is 999 seconds.
The output group alarm confirmation configuration options are shown in the table
below.
Note: Configuration requires that two independent alarm confirmations be
selected from the available options and that a confirmation delay (in seconds) is
entered for the corresponding output group to be activated.

4. Select Active, and then select YES (to confirm output group activation in case
of an alarm) or NO (to deactivate the output group).
5. Select Delay and enter the required delay in minutes and seconds.
The maximum delay value for sounder, fire routing, and fire protection output
groups is 10 minutes. The max i mum del ay value for program output groups is
16 minutes and 40 seconds.
6. If required, enter a warning delay (in minutes and seconds) for sounder output
groups in applications using warning tones (second stage sounders).
A warning delay is only observed if the corresponding warning time is also
configured (see “Warning time” on page 97 for more information on this
option). The maximum warning delay value is 10 minutes.
7. Press F4 (Enter), and then press F1 (Back).
8. Press F1 (Save), F3 (Apply), F4 (Discard), or F2 (Exit).
Remember to apply saved settings from the Main menu.
Once a delay has been configured, it must be enabled.
Configured delays are only activated for alarms activated by a detector. Alarms
activated by a manual call point ignore any configured delays.
Configured delays can be enabled or disabled by sensitivity mode programming
(day/night mode), remote equipment by means of a programmed input, or the
user interface delay buttons.
By default, the control panel does not process delays when operating in night
mode. Remember that night mode can be activated by the day/night mode
schedule, the holiday calendar, or by remote equipment. For specific
applications, a delay in night mode can be configure d if required. See “Additional
day/night mode settings” on page 42.
Use these options to configure, for exampl e, activation of sounders and fir e
routing with 2 minute delay for any zone in alarm in the fire network inside the fire
alarm panel zone range.
Notes
• Global delay options only set the delays of the zones that are enabled to
activate the sounder or fire routing group. For example, if sounders and fire
routing activate for zone 1 with a delay of 10 seconds and for zone 5 with a
delay of 2 minutes, when selecting this option, sounders and fire routing will
activate with the same selected delay after alarms in zones 1 or 5 and will not
activate for all the other zones.
• The Activate for all zones option allows the user to apply the delay to all
zones (including those previously configured not to activate the output group).

Per zone (sounder, fire routing, fire protection, or program)
Select the Per zone option to activate output g r oups with different delays
(including no activati on ) depending on which zone generated the alarm.
All outputs assigned to the output group activate depending on alarms in the fire
network, in the local range of zones of the panel, and with different delays.
For example, select this option to activate output group number 5 (soun der , fire
routing, fire protectio n, or prog r am) with a delay of 10 seconds for a detector
alarm in zone 1 and with a delay of 2 minutes for a detector alarm in zone 5.
To configure per zone delay options:
1. Select Field setup from the Main menu, and then select Activation
configuration.
2. Select Per zone.
3. Select the zone, and then select the output group whose delay you want to
configure for the selected zone.
The corresponding output group configuration options for the selected zone
are displayed on the screen.
4. Select Active, and then select YES or NO to define output group activation for
the zone.
5. Enter the required delay in minutes and seconds.
The maximum delay value for sounder, fire routing, and fire protection output
groups is 10 minutes. The maximum delay value for program output groups is
16 minutes and 40 seconds.
6. If required, enter a warning delay (in minutes and seconds) for sounder output
groups in applications using warning tones (second stage sounders).
A warning delay is only observed if the corresponding warning time is also
configured (see “Warning time” on page 97 for more information on this
option). The maximum warning delay value is 10 minutes.
7. Press F4 (Enter), and then press F1 (Back).
8. Press F1 (Save), F3 (Apply), F4 (Discard), or F2 (Exit).
Remember to apply saved settings from the Main menu.
Outputs assigned to an output group (for example, output group 5 SND) are
activated depending on alarms in the fire network and with the corresponding
delays.
For example, if we have a one-loop control panel with the initial zone set to 100
and we want to configure sounder output group number 5, the following can be
configured with this option:
• No activation for zones 100 to 119
• Activation with a 10 second delay for zones 120 to 139

• Activation with no delay for zones 140 to 163
• No activation for remote zones (in this example, zones 1 to 99 and zones 164
to 9999 are remote zones). Remote zones are indicated as REMT on the
LCD.
This programmed output activation can be configured with the Configuration
Utility (recommended) or via the Activation configur at ion me nu at t he control
panel.
General delays
Select the General delays option to configure region-specific investigation times
or advanced delay options.
Configurable options for general delays are shown in the table below.
Table 54: Configurable options for general delays
Field
Description
InvMode
Investigation mode. Enables regional investigation time modes
(maximum acknowledgement time, extended fire routing delay).
Time
Investigation time. Configures regional investigation time delays
(maximum acknowledgement time, extended fire routing delay).
WrnTime
Warning time. Configures the warning time when the control
panel is configured to use a warning tone for a second stage
sounders application. For standard applications with no warning
tone requirement, this time must be 0.
WrnT_4E
Warning time (extended). If checked, the warning tone (where
configured) will change to the evacuation tone only if a manual
call point alarm is detected.
SdSilDT
Sounder silence disable time. Disables silencing sounders with
the Sounder Start/Stop button for a preconfigured time when a
sounder delay is running.
To configure general delays:
1. Select Field setup from the Main menu, and then select Activation
configuration.
2. Select General delays.
