11 Power Supplies
The Mx-1002,Mx-1004, Mx-1008 and Mx-1016 panels produce d.c. power regulation directly on
the C1627 motherboard. The Mx-1032 zone panel has an off-board power supply via a dedicated
PCB (C1652) contained within the enclosure of the fire alarm panel.
For all panels, the output voltage is adjustable from 25V to 28.2V via a small trimmer
potentiometer on the PCB. As the output voltage is factory set however, this should not be
necessary.
11.1 Visual indications
The following visual indications are provided:
1) A green ‘Output – OK’ LED. This simply denotes that power is being supplied to the
panel
2) A yellow ‘Batt/Charge Fault’ LED denoting any one of the following conditions:
a) Battery disconnected
b) Battery fuse blown
c) Low Battery voltage
3) A yellow ‘Charger Fault’ LED. This denotes that the switching regulator has stopped
working and could be due to the following reasons:
Page 11 of 40
a) Switching regulator is malfunctioning
b) The power supply output voltage has been incorrectly set to a value less than the terminal
voltage of the batteries
4) A yellow ‘Mains Fault’ LED. This denotes that the mains voltage has failed or is less than
the required minimum for correct operation of the power supply.
Note: Fault indications do not become active for a minimum of 10 seconds after the fault has
occurred.
11.2 Battery Disconnect
The supply provides a battery disconnect facility which disconnects the batteries when the battery
terminal voltage falls below 19.5V.

• Current edition of the IEE wiring regulations.
• Current edition of BS5839-1 or the installation standards for the relevant country.
• Any specific site requirements.
• Any field device installation instructions.
• Any data sheet provided for the installation of Intrinsically Safe devices.
Notes:
The rating plate, containing essential electrical information is located inside the panel
on the inside face of the door.
The mains supply cable should be a minimum of 1mm
An appropriate lockable double pole disconnect device shall be provided as part of the
building installation. This device must have a minimum contact gap of 3mm.
12.1 Electrical Safety
WARNING: Read this section completely before commencing installation.
Prior to commencing installation of the control panel, ensure that adequate
precautions are taken to prevent damage to the sensitive electronic components on
the display board and the control board due to electrostatic discharge. You should
discharge any static electricity you may have accumulated by touching a
convenient earthed object such as an unpainted copper radiator pipe. You should
repeat the process at regular intervals during the installation process, especially if
you are required to walk over carpets.
The panel must be located in a clean, dry position, which is not subject to shock or
vibration and at least 2 metres away from pager systems or any other radio transmitting
equipment. The operating temperature range is 0ºC to 40ºC; maximum humidity is
95%.

12.1.1 IMPORTANT NOTES ON BATTERIES:
DANGER:
WARNING:
DANGER:
Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries are “low maintenance”, requiring no
electrolyte top-up or measurement of specific gravity.
WARNING:
WARNING:
Batteries are electrically live at all times, take great care never to short circuit
the battery terminals.
Batteries are often heavy; take great care when lifting and transporting
batteries. For weights above 24 kilos, lifting aids should be used.
Do NOT attempt to remove the battery lid or tamper with the internal
workings of the battery. Electrolyte is a highly corrosive substance, and
presents significant danger to yourself and to anything else it touches. In
case of accidental skin or eye contact, flush the affected area with plenty of
clean, fresh water and seek immediate medical attention.
Only clean the battery case with a cloth that has been soaked or dampened
with distilled water. Do not use organic solvents (such as petrol, paint thinner,
benzene or mineral spirits) or other materials that can substantially weaken
the case. Do not use a dry cloth as this will generate static electricity, which
in turn may lead to an explosion.
Avoid operating temperatures outside the range of -15°C/5°F to +50°C/122°F
for float/standby applications.
The recommended normal operating temperature is 20°C.
HIGH TEMPERATURE will reduce battery service life. In extreme cases this
Page 13 of 40
can cause Thermal Runaway, resulting in high oxygen/hydrogen gas
production and battery swelling. Batteries are irrecoverable from this
condition and should be replaced.
LOW TEMPERATURE will prolong battery life but reduce output capacity.
DANGER:
Do not incinerate batteries. If placed in a fire, the batteries may rupture, with
the potential to release hazardous gases and electrolyte. VRLA batteries
contain substances harmful to the environment.
Exhausted batteries must be recycled. Return them to the battery
manufacturer or take them to your Council waste disposal site for appropriate
disposal.
12.1.2 ELECTRICAL SAFETY:
The volt-free relay contacts provided within the panel must not be used to directly switch any
voltage that exceeds 50VAC or 75VDC. (Please also refer to relay rating data).
This equipment requires a 230V AC supply. All installation work should be carried out
in accordance with the recommendations of BS5839 Part 1 and the current edition of
the IEE regulations by suitably qualified and trained personnel.
THIS PANEL MUST BE EARTHED

13 Commissioning
13.1 Introduction
The following equipment should be available where possible to minimise commissioning time:
i) VHF/UHF Portable Radio (for two engineers)
ii) Multi-meter or equivalent
13.2 Commissioning Checklist
1. Before commissioning, the engineer should check the following:
i) All field wiring has been inspected and tested in accordance with CEL wiring
recommendations, current issues of BS5839:1 and BS7671 IEE wiring regulations.
ii) All field cables are glanded into the control panel cabinet.
iii) Detector bases are terminated but detector heads are not fitted. Any devices with
electronic components are not fitted. Terminations to devices with electronic
components should be linked through to maintain cable continuity.
iv) Manual Call Points are not connected but cable is linked through to maintain continuity.
v) No end-of-line devices (e.g. alarm circuit EOL resistor) are fitted in the field.
2. The following information should be available to the commissioning team:
i) Detection layout drawings.
ii) Wiring schematic diagram.
v) Control Panel installation manuals.
vi) Installation manuals for all equipment connected to the system.
vii) Site specific configuration details.
Experience has shown that tracing wiring faults on long circuits that are routed through risers etc.
can be difficult without knowledge of the wiring route.
It is recommended that the electrical installer be made available until basic wiring continuity is
proven. A minimum of two persons (e.g. engineer and mate) is recommended for efficient
commissioning.
13.3 An Overview Of The Commissioning Procedure
Commissioning is broken in to 3 sections:
i) Pre-commissioning wiring check.
ii) Powering the panel up with no field wiring connected, configuring the panel in
accordance with the site-specific requirements and carrying out a functional check.
iii) Functional testing of all circuits and field devices to check each circuit and function in
turn to ensure correct operation of the entire system.
In this way any faults may be located quickly and accurately. The general procedures are as
follows:
○ Alarm circuits should be checked first. The correct operation of each sounder should be
checked for correct audibility as specified in BS5839:1, using the Evacuate function.
○ Detection zones should be commissioned next. The purpose is to establish the correct
functioning of each device and checking for correct indication at the control panel. The
panel responses as configured should be checked at this time.
○ All ancillary inputs and outputs should be commissioned and the functionality
confirmed.
○ Fire protection signals should be tested.
Page 19 of 40
○ Fire and fault routing signalling should be tested.
WARNING: Before testing, the engineer must be aware both of the operation of all
devices fitted to the auxiliary circuits and of the consequences of their operation.
13.4 Pre-Commissioning Wiring Check
NOTE: This pre-commissioning wiring check procedure should be followed to test all
wiring prior to specific commissioning of any detection, alarm and auxiliary circuits.
1. Ensure that no devices are connected to the detection zones and alarm circuits, but that
the cables are linked through at the device locations to achieve a continuous circuit.
2. Ensure that the resistance of all cables to earth and between cores is at least 2MΩ.
Check the following:
i) Positive to earth resistance is 2MΩ or greater.
ii) Negative to earth resistance is 2MΩ or greater.
iii) Positive to negative resistance is 2MΩ or greater.
3. Connect a wire link as the end-of-line device on each of the zones and alarm circuits. At
the panel end, measure the resistance across the positive & negative ends of the cables
for each of the circuits; ensuring the value does not exceed 20Ω. Remember to remove
the wire links after the tests.
Correct polarity throughout all circuits must be maintained. Rectify any faults.
All bells, detector heads and call points should now be connected and the correct end-of-line
devices fitted. Use the spare end-of-line devices supplied and leave the EOL devices in the panel
terminals at this stage. Remember to remove any links fitted to detector bases. Be very careful to
maintain correct polarity at each device.
Warning: Intrinsically safe zone arrangement.
○ End-of-line capacitors cannot be connected to zones monitoring Intrinsically Safe
detection devices in hazardous areas. To do so will risk causing an explosion in the
hazardous area. End-of-line resistors with a value of 3K9Ω must be used, which
comply with the requirements laid down in the installation data sheets provided with the
I.S. barrier and the I.S. fire detection devices.
○ In order for detector head removal monitoring to function correctly when resistors are
used as the end-of-line devices, any diodes in the detector bases that are in circuit
when the detector head is removed must be disconnected.
○ The panel must be configured to monitor Intrinsically Safe zones.
○ The first device on an Intrinsically Safe zone must be an I.S. Zener Barrier or Galvanic
Isolator. Detectors and Manual Call Points on the Safe side of the barrier are not
permitted.
○ To comply with the requirements of BS5839, all manual call points should be located in
the zone cabling between the I.S. Barrier/Isolator and the first detector. Any manual call
point or detector located on the “end-of–line” side of a detector will be rendered
inoperative if the detector head is removed.
