INTRODUCTION

The J424 and J208 Control panels

The reduced complexity J424 and J408 Fire Control panels are the fruit of attentive research and installer perception. The winning combination of expert wor kmanship, high quality materials and essential links among vital components provide maximum installation flexibility and performance.

The components of these Control panels operate as in tended when the external ambient conditions comply with the requirements of class 3k5 of IEC 721-3-3:1978.

The J424 and J408 Control panels provides the follo wing features: 8 Supervised/Bypassable input zones (the J408-2 provides 2 and the J408-4provides 4); 2 Supervised/Silenceable/Bypassable fire outputs; 1 Silenceable fire output and 1 Silenceable/Bypassable fault alarm output.

The J424 model has been especially designed for me dium to large residential and commercial applications. It supports two 8 zone Expander Modules (providing a total of 24 zones); two Extinguishment Modules and an LCD Module and provides housing for two 12 V, 17 Ah batteries. This model is powered by a 2.5 A switching power supply.

J400-EXT Extinguishment Module

False activation of fire extinguishment devices may ca use unnecessary inconvenience to end-users and se rious damage to property. The J400-EXT Extingui

shment Module aims at the reducing the false alarm rate by verifying alarm conditions before activating the extin guishment devices. The J408-8, J408-4 and J408-2 Control panels support ONE Extinguishment Module Kit, whereas the J424 Control panel supports TWO.

The J400-EXT Extinguishment Module IS NOT an

IMQ-SECURITY SYSTEMS listed product.

J400-LCD Display Module

This board has 6 scroll keys and a two-line backlit LCD (16 characters per line) which provides written informa tion regarding the system status.

J400-REP Repeater panel

This Repeater panel is intended for connection (via 4 wires) to J424 and J408-8 Control panels. It provides all the visual and audible warnings generated by the Con trol panel and allows end-users to manage the system from a remote location (up to 1000 metres from the Control panel). The J424 and J408-8 Control panels support up to FOUR Repeater panels.

The J408 model has been especially designed for small residential and commercial applications. It is available with2(TJ408-2),4(J408-4) or 8 zones (J408-8). It supports 1 Extinguishment Module and provides hou sing for two 12 V, 7 Ah batteries. This model is powered by a 1.5 A switching power supply.

Accessory Items

J400-EXP8 Expander Module Kit. This kit comprises an 8 zone Expander Module and an Expander Control board. The Expander Module contains most of the electronic circuitry and electrical terminals whereas the Expander Control board provides the command keys and status LEDs of the Expander Module zones. The Expander Module and Expander Control board are intended for connection to the Main board of the Control panel. In the event of an alarm, the Expander Module will signal the status of its inputs to the Main board which will activate the fire warning and fire control devi ces and generate signalling on the Expander Control board. The J424 accepts TWO J400-EXP8 Expander Modules Kits.

Software Management Sofware

This user-friendly software application (Windows) of fers a quick and easy way to program the Control panel

and provides event logger and print-out functions.

Description

Inputs

This Control panel has special inputs (detection zones) for fire detection devices, such as conventional fire de tectors (i.e. devices which resemble the operating mode of open contacts during standby status and resi stors during Alarm status) and similar devices, such as Callpoints and gas detectors. The Control panel considers its inputs to be in standby status when they pull-down to 0 V with a 3900 ohm resi stance. The inputs can detect and signal Automatic

Alarms (generated by fire detectors), Manual Alarms (generated by Callpoints), shorted lines (generated by detector faults) and interrupted lines (generated by the removal of detectors from their bases).

INTRODUCTION 5

IMQ-SECURITY SYSTEMS certification applies

ONLY when no more than 30 devices are connec ted to each zone, and no more than 512 devices IN ALL are connected to the Control panel.

Outputs

This Control panel accepts devices that operate

within SELV limits ONLY.

This section describes how the Control panel outputs operate.

Supervised outputs The Control panel will be able to detect and signal short-circuits and power supply inter ruptions on this type of output.

Operating features

Pre-alarm If a zone generates an alarm during Day Mode (Night Mode LED OFF), the Control panel will start the Pre-alarm Time. This status will be signalled by:

a slow intermittent beep;

blinking on the LED of the Zone Alarm that genera

ted the Alarm; glowing on the Pre-al. LED;

activation of the NAC1 and NAC2 outputs — in ac

cordance with programming; Negative pull-down to0VontheR terminal of the

zone that generated the Alarm, that is, if the Pre-alarm on R output option is enabled; Negative pull-down to 0 V on OC terminal, that is, if it

is programmed to signal Pre-alarm.

Bypassable outputs The user will be able to disable (by means of the respective key) this type of output.

Silenceable outputs The user will be able to stop (via the Silence key) this type of output The outputs can be silenced for an indefinite period (du ring Day Mode) or, for the programmed Silence Time (during Night Mode).

This Control panel provides the following alarm outputs:

two Supervised/Silenceable/Bypassable outputs

(NAC1 and NAC2 terminals) with positive polarity (27.6 V) during alarm status; one Silenceable/NON-Supervised/NON-Bypassable

Volt-free changeover contact (ALARM terminals) for devices which cannot be connected directly to NAC1 or NAC2; one Supervised/Bypassable/NON-Silenceable output

(DL terminal), intended for use with telephone devices that pull-down to 0 V (negative) in the event of an alarm; one Silenceable/NON-Supervised/NON-Bypassable

output for each input zone (terminals R1, R2, ..., R8) that will pull-down to 0 V (negative) when the respecti ve zone generates an alarm. These outputs allow se lective action, as they activate only the devices connected to the zone concerned.

The NAC1, NAC2 and DL outputs comply with

EN54-2.

This Control panel also provides:

one Silenceable/NON-Supervised/NON-Bypassable

Volt-free changeover contact (TROUBLE terminals) that will activate in the event of trouble; one NON-Supervised/NON-Bypassable/NON-Silen

ceable open-collector output (OC terminal) that will pull-down to0V(negative) when the associated event occurs (Alarm, Pre-alarm, Fault, Reset, Bypass, Test or Double knock); one NON-Supervised/NON-Bypassable/NON-Silen

ceable changeover contact (PL terminal) that will pull-down to0V(negative) in the event of power fai lure to the Control panel.

This Control panel will generate an Instant Alarm if

alarm conditions are detected during Night Mode (Night Mode LED glowing) or, if an alarm is trigge red from a Callpoint connected to a zone enabled for Call point Priority (i.e. the Call point Priority

option ENABLED).

During Pre-alarm status, all persons on the premises (Access Level 1 — refer to “Access to signalling and commands”) will be able to:

activate an Evacuation Alarm by pressing and hol

ding the Ack./Evac. key for AT LEAST 5 seconds.

During Pre-alarm status, Key and PIN Code users (Access Level 2 — refer to “Access to signalling and commands”) will be able to:

add the Investigation Time to the Pre-Alarm Time

by pressing (for LESS THAN 5 seconds)the Ack./Evac. key;

activate an Evacuation Alarm by pressing and hol

ding the Ack./Evac. key for AT LEAST 5 seconds; stop the Silenceable outputs and interrupt the

Pre-alarm Time by pressing the Silence key.

During Silence status (Silence LED glowing), it is pos sible to use the Silence key to release the Silenceable outputs and restart Pre-alarm Time or, use the Reset key to restore standby status.

If the Control panel is operating in Night Mode

(Night Mode LED glowing), the Control panel will exit Silence status automatically when the pro grammed Night mode Silence time expires.

Alarm The Control panel will generate an alarm when the Pre-Alarm Time expires. Alarm status will be signalled by:

a fast intermittent beep;

glowing on the LED of the Zone Alarm that genera

ted the Alarm; glowing on the Alarm LED;

activation of the NAC1 and NAC2 outputs — in ac

cordance with programming; Negative pull-down to0VontheR terminal of the

zone that generated the Alarm; Negative pull-down to0VontheOC terminal, that is,

if it is programmed to signal Alarm status.

6 Conventional Fire Panels J424/J408

The Control panel will activate the DL output when

the programmed Alarm Signalling delay expires.

During Alarm status, Key and PIN Code users (Access Level 2 — refer to “Access to signalling and com

mands”) will be able to:

stop the Silenceable outputs by pressing the Silence

key.

Silence status will be held until the Silence key is pres sed again or, if the Control panel is operating in Night Mode, until the programmed Night mode Silence time expires, or until a new Alarm or Trouble condition is de

tected.

ONLY Key and PIN Code Users (Access Level 2)

can SILENCE the Silenceable outputs.

During Silence status (Silence LED glowing), it is pos sible to use the Silence key to release the Silenceable outputs, and the Reset key to restore standby status.

If the Control panel is in Night Mode (Night Mode

LED glowing), the Control panel will exit Silence status when the programmed Night mode Silence time expires.

Trouble This Control panel can detect and signal the following Trouble:

Input zone shorted or open;

Supervised zone shorted or open;

Control panel blocked;

Output 24V or 24R shorted;

Low battery, battery trouble or disconnected battery;

Ground fault;

Communication trouble with peripherals;

Mains failure.

Fault conditions will be signalled by:

a slow intermittent beep (at 1 second intervals);

glowing on the Fault LED;

fast blinking on the LED of the “component” concer

ned (the Logic Unit LED will glow to signal “Control panel blocked”); activation of theFault output (TROUBLE terminals);

Negative pull-down to 0 V on OC terminal, that is, if it

is programmed to signal Fault.

The Fault output (TROUBLE terminals) and OC out puts (if duly programmed) will restore to standby auto matically when fault conditions clear. Under certain circumstances, fault conditions may clear spontaneously, if this occurs, the event will be stored in the memory until the Control panel Resets. Stored Fault events will be signalled by:

slow blinking on the LEDs of the “component” con

cerned.

ONLY Key and PIN Code Users (Access Level 2)

can Reset the system. Fire alarms must be Silen ced (via the Silence key) before Reset. Fault conditions can be Reset directly (via the Re set key).

Interface

Visual Signalling The system status will be signalled on the Control panel LEDs as follows:

GREEN indicates normal operating conditions; AMBER indicates specific operating modes (for exam

ple Day or Night mode), and/or Fault conditions;

RED indicates Alarm conditions.

Memory The Control panel will signal Alarm/Fault

events until the system Resets, even if the event clears in the meantime. Stored events will be signalled by:

slow blinking on the LED concerned.

Display The J424 Control panel can house the J400-LCD Module. This module provides written infor

mation regarding the system status, and the cause of faults on inputs and outputs (short-circuit, interruption etc.).

Extinguishment Module

This section describes how the J400-EXT Extingui shment Module operates.

Activation Mode The Extinguishment devices may be activated by alarm conditions on ONE of the program med zones (OR Mode), at least TWO of the program med zones (At least two Mode), or ALL of the program med zones (ALL Mode).

Pre-Extinguishment If the programmed ‘Activation Mode’ conditions occur, the Extinguishment Module will start the Pre-Extinguishment phase (indicated by glo wing on the Pre Ext. LED and by activation of the Modu le PR outputs) but will not activate the respective Extin guishment devices immediately, thus allowing users to verify the Alarm.

Extinguishment If the ‘Activation Mode’ conditions are still present when the programmed Pre-Extingui shment time expires, the Extinguishment Module will activate the Extinguishment phase (indicated by glo wing on the Electrovalve LED and by the activation of the Module’s AE output). The Extinguishment devices, (connected to the Module’s EV output) will stay On until the alarm conditions cease, or until the programmed Extinguishment Time expires (i.e. if the Bistable option is disabled), or until the Disable Extinguish. key is pressed.

Auxiliary Supervision Inputs The Extinguishment Module provides supplementary supervision inputs for Extinguishment Inhibition, Manual Extinguishment and Pressure Switch control. These Supervised inputs must pull down to0V(negative) with a 3.900 ohm resi stance during standby status. In the event of interrup tion or short-circuit, these inputs will generate a war nings on the LED concerned.

Description of the Terminals

This section describes the Control panel terminals.

Main Board and Expander Board terminals

[Z1] ... [Z8] Supervised/Bypassable detection zo nes. Detection device terminals for Fire detectors, Call

points, Gas detectors, etc. The Control panel will consider the zone:

Open when the voltage is between 27.6 V and

26.31 V; In Standby when the voltage is between 26.31 V

and 17.15 V; In Alarm when the voltage is between 17.15 V and

2.82 V; Shorted when the voltage is between 2.82 V and

0V.

If the Call point priority option has been enabled (refer

to “PROGRAMMING FROM A PC”), the Control panel will distinguish between Alarms generated by Detectors and Alarms generated by Manual Call Point, as follows:

Detector Alarm — when the voltage is between

17.15 V and 13.15 V; Call point Alarm — when the voltage is between

13.15 V and 2.82 V.

The status thresholds can be programmed individually for each zone, in this way, it will be possible to compen sate for voltage drops caused by the connections.

Up to 30 devices can be connected to each zone.

One 4-20 mA Gas detector can be connected to zone Z1 of the Main Board and the Expander Module, as de scribed in the “Connecting Gas Detectors” paragraph.

INSTALLING THE CONTROL PANEL 25

IMQ-SECURITY SYSTEMS certification applies

ONLY when: no more than 30 devices are connec ted to each zone; no more than 3 Gas detectors are connected to the Control panel; no more than 512 devices IN ALL are connected to the Control panel.

If a zone triggers an Automatic Alarm during Day Mode, the Control panel will initialize the Pre-alarm

phase. If a zone triggers an Automatic Alarm during Night Mode, the Control panel will generate an instant Alarm. If a zone triggers a Manual Alarm — whether in Day or

Night Mode, the Control panel will generate an instant Alarm.

If a zone Shorts or Opens, the Control panel will gene rate a Trouble warning. Each Reset operation will interrupt the power supply to all zones for the programmed Detector Reset Time.

Detector negative

[M]

[R1] ... [R8] Silenceable/Repeat Outputs

Each zone provides a Repeat Output for selective inter vention purposes (to close Fire doors, to limit signalling to the Zone concerned, etc.).

DO NOT connect EN54 “E”, “J” or “C” rated devices

(visual, audible or telephone signalling devices) to Outputs R1, R2,…,R8.

Repeat Outputs are Normally Open.

Operating principles:

If the Pre-Alarm on R Outputoption is DISABLED, the Repeat Output of the zone in Alarm to 0 V (negative) when the Control panel triggers Alarm status. If the Pre-Alarm on R Output option is ENABLED, the Repeat Output of the zone in Alarm to 0 V (negative) when the Control panel triggers Pre-Alarm status.

All the Repeat Outputs will restore to standby when the Control panel Resets.

If the Gas Detector option ENABLED, the Repeat

Output of the zone will restore to standby when the Voltage on the zone terminal concerned drops be low the Pre-Alarm threshold, that is, as long as the Alarm threshold value has not been exceeded in the meantime.

If the Non-Silenceable R Output option is DISABLED, it will be possible to Silence (force to standby) the Repe at Output of the zone concerned. Repeat Outputs will hold standby status for the pro grammed Silence Time. If Alarm conditions are present when the Silence Time expires, the Repeat Output will re-activate. Up to 0.1 A can circulate on each Repeat Output.

Operating principles

Positive pull-up to 27.6 V on the [24V] terminal;

Negative pull-down to0Vonthe[M] terminal.

If the current draw on the [24V] terminal exceeds 1 A, the system will interrupt the power supply to the termi nal and signal Fault on the 24V/24R LED (fast blinking). The system will restore power to the terminal when the current draws drops below 1 A.

[24R] [M]

Resettable Power supply for devices that function at 24 V, protected by a resettable fuse, has battery bac kup.

Operating principles

Positive pull-up to 27.6 V on the [24R] terminal;

Negative pull-down to0Vonthe[M] terminal.

If the current draw on the [24R] terminal exceeds 1 A, the system will interrupt power to the terminal, and will signal Fault on the 24V/24R LED (fast blinking). The system will restore power to the terminal when the current draws drops below 1 A. The system will interrupt power from terminal [24R] during Reset, therefore, this power source can be used to power devices that reset when the power supply is interrupted.

8 Conventional Fire Panels J424/J408

AE Activated Extinguishment Output

This Output is for “Activated Extinguishment” signal.

Operating principles

Standby status: negative pull-down to 0 V on the [+]

terminal; positive pull-up to 27.6 V on the [–] terminal. Activated status: positive pull-up to 27.6 V on the [+]

terminal; negative pull-down to0Vonthe[–]terminal. If the Extinguishment Confirmation option is DISABLED (at default), the AE Output will activate when the Extinguishment phase starts. If the Extinguishment Confirmation option is ENABLED, the AE Output will activate when the PS Input activates during or after the Extinguishment pha se (refer to “Pressure Switch Input” under “Enrolling: Extinguishment Modules” in the “PROGRAMMING FROM A PC”).

The System Wiring

Use shielded cable only for all connections, with

one end of the shield connected to the Control pa nel negative terminal and the other left free.

High Voltage leads (230 V) must be bunched

separately from Low Voltage leads (24 V). All leads must be bunched in such a way as to avo id contact with other wiring and components.

Connect Conventional Fire Detectors as per Figure 14.

Operating principles

Terminals L1 and L2, respectively, the power input

and output terminals of the detector (these terminals connect when the detector is attached to its base, and disconnect when it is removed); terminal L — the negative power terminal of the de

tector; EOL resistor 109 — to be connected between termi

nal L1 and terminal L of the last detector. The EOL resistor allows the system to check continuity and detect short-circuits;

Diodes 110 — necessary when the Bypass Missing

Detectors option is enabled (further details in the fol lowing paragraph).

Connect any unused zone terminals to negative

with a 3900 ohm, 1/4 W resistor.

The Control panel and Expander Modules provide suffi cient 3900 ohm, 1/4 W resistors to balance their zones.

This Control panel also accepts Fire detectors with Nor mally-Open Alarm Outputs, as shown in Figure 15. Connect a 680 ohm (111) resistor in series to the Nor mally-Open contact, then connect the series of the contact with the resistor and the Normally-Open contact to the zone terminal.

Connecting Fire Detectors

This Control panel supports Conventional Fire Detec tors (i.e. devices which resemble the operating mode of open contacts during standby status, and resistors du ring Alarm status).

DO NOT connect more than 30 devices to each

zone.

INSTALLING THE CONTROL PANEL 29

Wiring instructions for this feature:

— Connect 1N5919 diodes (or similar) to the power in put and output terminals of all the detectors but the last, then connect a 1N5919 diode to the power output ter minal and the negative terminal of the last detector (see part nr. 110 in Figure 14).

The polarity of the diodes must be observed (see

Figure 14: the white band on part nr. 110 indicates the cathode.

The Control panel monitors the system for “Missing” de vices by inverting the polarity (every 60 seconds) of ter minals belonging to zones with the Bypass Missing Detectors attribute (option ENABLED).

Polarity inversion DOES NOT damage the detec

tors as, during this status, only a 0.6 V negative vol tage is present on the detector power terminals .

Connecting Call-points

This Control panel accepts Normally Open Call-points with 680 ohm contact resistance (wiring as per Figu re 14), and Call-points with zero ohm contact resistan ce (wiring as per Figure 15).

Wiring instructions

Connect a 680 ohm (112) resistor in series to the Nor mally-Open contact, then connect the series of the contact with the resistor and the Normally-Open contact to the zone terminal.

If the Call point is the last device or the zone, connect the EOL (109) to its NO and C terminals.

Call-point priority If this option is enabled, the zone concerned will discriminate between alarms triggered by Detectors and those triggered by Call-points. In the event of a Call-point alarm, the Control panel will gene rate an instant alarm regardless of the operating mode of the system (Day or Night Mode).

Wiring instructions for this feature:

Use Call-points with 270 ohm contact resistance, or connect a 270 ohm resistor in series to a Call-points with zero ohm contact resistance, as shown in Figu re 15 (111).

IMQ-SECURITY SYSTEMS certification applies

ONLY when Call-point priority option is ENABLED.

Connecting Gas Detectors

This Control panel accepts Gas detectors with Normally Open Outputs (NO) and 4-20 mA gas detectors.

NO Output Connect Gas detectors with Normally Open Outputs (NO) as per Figure 16a.

Operating principles:

Terminal [A] (the Detector Alarm Output) will connect to terminal [–] when the concentration of gas in the area exceeds the preset safety threshold.

Wiring description:

Using a 680 ohm resistor (111), connect terminal [A] to the zone terminal. Connect terminal [+] (the Detector Power input) to a po wer source that can be interrupted for the required reset time (see terminal [24R] on the Main Board). Terminal [P] (the Detector Pre-Alarm Output) is not shown in the wiring diagram. The Repeat Output of the zone can be set up to inter rupt the gas flow in the event of an alarm (wiring as per Figure 16a — see terminal [R4]). If zone Z4 generates an alarm (or pre-alarm — when the Pre-Alarm on R Output option is ENABLED), ter minal [R4] will pull down to0V(negative) thus activa ting the relay which in turn will latch the Switching Po wer supply to the Electrovalve.

The current draw of Electrovalves must be provi

ded by an external power source (e.g. BXM Power Station).

4 - 20 mA Gas detectors 4 - 20 mA Gas detectors can be connected to terminals [Z1] ONLY on the Main Board and Expander Module, as per Figure 16b.

Operating principles

The current draw of terminal [S] varies from 4 to 20 mA in accordance with the concentration of gas present in the area.

Wiring description

The [–] terminal is the negative power terminal. Connect a 470 ohm, 2 W (113) between terminal [S] and terminal [–] of the detector. Connect [+] terminal (positive power input) to a power source that can be interrupted for the required reset time (see terminal [24R] on the Main Board).

Connecting Signalling Devices

NAC1, NAC2 and ALARM outputs are for the alarm si gnalling device connections.

NAC1 and NAC2 can be set up to signal pre-alarm and alarm conditions (refer to “Outputs” under “PROGRAMMING FROM A PC”).

The wiring diagram in Figure 18 shows two warning lamps and the flasher of an outdoor signalling device (STROBE terminals) connected to NAC2, and two fire bells and the horn of an outdoor signalling device (HORN terminals) connected to NAC1. This type of connection makes it possible to diversify pre-alarm from alarm signalling.

Terminal [Z1] accepts ONE 4 - 20 mA Gas detec

tor ONLY. If you are connecting a4-20mAGasdetectorto terminal [Z1] of an Expander Module, remove the Jumper (62) (marked GAS on the PCB), and ENABLE the Gas Detector option of the respecti ve zone (i.e. Zone nr. 1 for the Main Board, Zone nr. 9 for Expander Module nr. 1, zone nr. 17 for Expander Module nr. 2).

3900 ohm, 1/4 W resistor (109)inpa rallel to the [+] and [–] terminals of the output. Connect a 1N4007 diode or similar, between the positive inputs of the de vices connected to the PR and AE, and the [+] terminals of the latter.

Connecting a Power Supply

The power circuits of this Control panel comply

with the EN54-4 standard.

In order to comply with the Safety regulations

in force, the Mains must be equipped with a bi polar isolating device for protection against over voltage and short-circuit to Earth (e.g. au tomatic isolating switch).

This Control panel is powered from the Mains (230V/50 Hz) through a Switching power supply, loca ted inside the case. The J408 Control panel provides housing for two 12 V, 7 Ah maximum batteries, where as, the J424 Control panel provides housing for two 12 V, 17 Ah maximum batteries for power during Mains failure. The non-volatile memory will hold the program med data at all times.

In the event of Mains failure, the:

GREEN Mains LED will turn OFF

RED Mains LED will turn ON

The Control panel will monitor the batteries at all times, (refer to Static Test and Dynamic Test).

Static Test The Static Test monitors the battery char ge during Mains failure. In the event of Low battery sta tus (below 22.8 V), the Battery LED will turn ON. If this occurs, the Mains power must be restored before the batteries empty, otherwise, the system will shutdown. Low battery restoral (over 24.6 V) will be signalled by blinking on the Battery LED (Memory).

Dynamic Test The Dynamic Test monitors the opera ting capacity of the batteries. In the event of a Failed Test result (batteries do not meet the Test require ments), The Battery LED will turn ON. If this occurs, the backup battery must be replaced im mediately, otherwise, the system will be unable to fun

ction in the event of Mains failure (black-out). Battery trouble restoral will be signalled by blinking on the Battery LED (Memory).

Connecting the Mains Supply

Work carefully through the following steps (refer to the figures on pages 12, 14, 18 and 19).

1. Locate the backup batteries in the housing 20.

2. Using the Jumper (supplied), connect the batteries

in series.

3. Observing the battery polarity, connect the battery terminals to the wires 60.

If you are connecting 17 Ah batteries, you must re

place the wire 60 and jumper connectors.

Verification Time is running, the system will generate a Control panel Alarm.

Bypass missing detectors If the Zone is wired to bypass missing detectors, this option MUST BE ENABLED.

NON-Silenceable R Output If this option is ENABLED, the Repeat Output of the Zone concerned ([Rn] terminal) CANNOT be Silenced.

Outputs

The Outputs page controls the pulse pattern for Pre-Alarm (Alert) and/or Alarm (Evacuate) signalling on the NAC1 and NAC2 outputs, and Alarm (Evacuate) si gnalling on the ALARM output.

The pattern is represented by a series of bells, each bell representing a second.

The configuration of the RED and WHITE backgrounds (for On and Off respectively e.g. all RED indicates conti nuously On) determines the respective pulse pattern.

For example, the output devices (connected to NAC1and NAC2) can be configured to have one audi ble output for Pre-Alarm (Alert) and a different audible output for Alarm (Evacuate), thus allowing users to di stinguish between the two conditions, as follows.

Pre-Alarm on R Output If this option is ENABLED, the Control panel will activate the Repeat Output of the Zone concerned ([Rn] terminal) during the Pre-Alarm phase.

Test zone on NACs If this option is ENABLED, the Control panel will activate the NAC1 and NAC2 Outputs for 1 second when the Zone is undergoes testing.

Call point Priority If this option is ENABLED, the Con trol panel will generate an instant Alarm when the Zone Call-point button is pressed.

Gas Detector If this option is ENABLED, it will be possible to connect a 4 - 20 mA Gas Detector to the Zone terminal.

The Gas Detectoroption can be ENABLED ONLY

for Zones 1, 9 and 17, respectively, the [Z1] termi nals on the Main Board, and on Expander nr. 1 and Expander nr. 2.

Times

Pre-Alarm Time This field will allow you to program the delay between the Zone Alarm and the Control panel Alarm.

If several Zones trigger Alarms within seconds of

one another, the Control panel will generate an Alarm when the shortest Pre-Alarm Time of all the Zones concerned expires.

Accepted values: 0 to 300 seconds (5 minutes), in steps of 10 seconds. Default setting: 60 seconds.

Investigation Time This field wilI allow you to program an “interval” that will override the Pre-Alarm Time. This “interval” will allow users time to investigate fire alerts. It will be applied when the Ack/Evac. key is pressed for less than 5 seconds at Access Level 2 (Keyswitch ENABLED or PIN Code entered). Accepted values: 0 to 300 seconds (5 minutes), in steps of 10 seconds Default value: 60 seconds.

NAC1 Output

Pre-Alarm pattern The bell chart will allow you to pro gram the Pre-Alarm (Alert) pattern of NAC1. Bell on RED background = Output ON for 1 second; Crossed Bell on WHITE background = Output OFF for 1 second. Pre-Alarm Default setting: NAC1 will turn ON for 2 se

conds then turn OFF for 6 seconds.

Alarm pattern To be set up in the same way as the Pre-Alarm pattern of NAC1 but for the Alarm pattern. Default setting: NAC1 is continuous.

NAC2 Output

Pre-Alarm pattern To be set up in the same way as the Pre-Alarm pattern of NAC1 but for the Pre-Alarm pattern of NAC2. Pre-Alarm Default setting: NAC2 WILL NOT ACTIVATE during the Pre-Alarm Time.

Alarm pattern To be set up in the same way as the Alarm pattern of NAC1 but for the Alarm pattern of NAC2. Default setting: NAC2 is continuous.

PROGRAMMING FROM THE PANEL

Read through the following section carefully, in order to get an overall view of how to use the Programming Overlay during the various “Programming Phases”. For details regarding the parameters of each phase, refer to the respective paragraph in the “PROGRAMMING FROM A PC” chapter.

Using the Programming Overlay

The Programming Overlay is set up in columns. The LEDs in column A represent the Programming Phases: ZONES; TIMES;  OUTPUTS;  PANEL;  VARIOUS and  MODULES. Columns B, C, D, E and F are divided into panes, each pane providing a series of options. Each option is pre ceded by a number, representing the Programming Phase it belongs to (e.g.  Pre-alarm time — column C belongs to the TIMES Programming Phase). The panes in column B have LEDs, those in columns C (except for the “Next Phase” key), D, E and F have LEDs and keys. During the programming session, the LEDs and keys and will take on “Multi-Task” status, that is, they will operate in accordance with the Program ming Phase concerned.

Some options must be ENABLED/DISABLED by

means of the Zone keys (Z1 through Z8for the J408; Z1 through Z24for the J424). The Program

ming Overlay covers the keys of Zones 1 through 8 (Z1 ...Z8), however, there is no need to remove it, as these keys are clearly indicated in columns E and F.

Accessing the Programming session

2. Connect the jumper 65 to the first and second ter

minal pins on the 3-pin terminal strip marked PRG

on the Main Board. All the Control panel LEDs will go OFF except for the Disab./Fault Telecom LED which will blink — to indicate that the system is re

ady for programming via computer.

3. Press and hold the Disab./Fault Telecom key for at least 2 seconds. The green Mains LED will blink and the Amber Mains LED will go ON to indicate that the system is ready for programming via the Control panel.

4. Remove the cut-outs (for the LEDs), and insert the

tabs of the Programming Overlay into the Zone la

bel slots, as shown in Figure 28.

5. Press the Next Phase key 9 then select the group of parameters that you want to program: ZONES, TIMES; OUTPUTS; PANEL or VARIOUS (refer to the respective paragraph for details) or, if you want to program the Extinguishment Modules, press and hold

(for at least 2 seconds) key 3 or key 6, respectively, Extinguishment Module nr. 1 and Extinguishment Module nr. 2 (refer to “Programming Modules” for de

tails). The respective LED in column A will turn On to indicate the group of parameters concerned.

Exiting the Programming Session

Once programming has been completed, press key 9, then connect the jumper 65 to the second and third ter minals on the 3-pin terminal strip marked PRG on the Main Board. The Control panel will Reset automatically.
