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
A
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
n
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

Description
Inputs
n
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).

Outputs
n
This Control panel accepts devices that operate
A
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.

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;

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

(during Night Mode).
This Control panel provides the following alarm outputs:
twoSupervised/Silenceable/Bypassableoutputs

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.

Extinguishment Module
n
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

The power supply system of the J424 and J408 Control
panels complies with EN54-4.
Both models are powered by the Mains (230 V, 50 Hz):
the J408 model has Switching Power Supply which
Ø
supplies up to 1.5 A at 27.6 V;
the J424 model has Switching Power Supply which
Ø
supplies up to 2.5 A at 27.6 V;
Both models can house two 12 V batteries which, when
connected in series, will supply 24 V to the Control pa
nel and peripherals in the event of black-out, and will
also provide any pickup currents which exceed the ma
ximum current supplied by the Switching Power Supply.
Power Supply:
the J408 model can house two 7 Ah batteries (YUASA
Ø
NP 7-12 FR model or similar — flame class UL94-V2
or higher);
the J424 model can house two 17 Ah batteries
Ø
(YUASA NP 17-12 FR model or similar — flame class
UL94-V2 or higher).
This Control panel can detect, signal and store in me
mory the following power faults: shorted 24V or 24R
outputs (24V/24R LED); Low battery, Battery fault or
Battery disconnected (Battery LED), Ground fault
(Ground LED) and Mains failure (Mains LED).
The “Battery Disconnected” fault may be signalled

with a delay of up to 1 minute. The “Mains” fault will
be signalled when the programmed delay expires.
