THE FIRE PANEL ENCLOSURE
he panel is supplied with a plastic detachable lid, a plastic back box and a minimum of two separate PCBs.
T
The relative location of these PCBs is indicated in figure 1 below.
The panel can be surface or semi-flush mounted. It must be sited indoors in an area not subject to conditions
likely to affect its performance, e.g. damp, salt-air, water ingress, extremes of temperature, physical abuse,
etc. It should be sited at a height where it is easily accessible and in a prominent position within the building.
Ideally, the indicators on the front of the enclosure should be at eye level.
Typical locations for the panel are in the entrance foyer / hallway of a building at ground floor level (the
irst and most obvious point of contact for emergency services) or a security office that is likely to be
f
permanently manned.
Removing the lid and base PCBs
To protect the electronics from damage and to expose the base mounting holes, the panel’s lid and PCBs
should be removed prior to first fix installation.
Anti-static handling guidelines
Please ensure that the following electro-static handling precautions are taken immediately
prior to handling the panel’s PCBs or any other static-sensitive components:
Before handling any static-sensitive items, operators should rid themselves of any personal electro-static
charge by momentarily touching any sound connection to safety earth, e.g. a radiator.
Always handle PCBs by their sides and avoid touching the legs of any components.
PCBs should be stored in a clean, dry place which is free from vibration, dust and excessive heat. Retaining
the PCBs in a suitable cardboard box will also guard them against mechanical damage.
Figure 1 : Location of the panel’s base PCBs and removal details
1. Take the fire alarm panel out of its box and undo the two lid screws using the Torx key provided.
Remove the lid to expose the Main Control PCB (the Power supply PCB is located underneath).
2. Carefully remove the five retaining screws on the Main Control PCB and slide the PCB up and over the
mounting pillars, taking care not to damage any of the components.
3. Disconnect the telecoms-style connecting cable at PL1 on the Power Supply PCB, making sure that the
cable remains connected to the reverse of the Main Control PCB to prevent it being misplaced. Care
should be taken when detaching this connector to depress the locking tab to prevent damage.
4. Pull the Power Supply’s earth strap off the spade connector at the main chassis earth point.
5. Carefully remove the three retaining screws on the Power Supply PCB and slide the PCB up and over
the mounting pillars, again taking care not to damage any of the components.

FIRST FIX
All system wiring should be installed to meet BS 5839 Part 1 and BS 7671 (Wiring Regulations).
Other national standards of installation should be used where applicable.
Cable types and limitations
Consult Clause 26 of BS 5839 Part 1: Fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings - code of practice
for system design, installation, commissioning and maintenance, for detailed information on cables,
iring and other interconnections.
w
To comply with EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) regulations and to reduce the risk of electrical
interference in the system wiring, we recommend the use of fire-resistant screened cables throughout the
installation. Cables such as FP 200, Firetuff™, Firecel™ and MICC may be acceptable provided they are
properly terminated at the fire panel and meet national standards / system specification as applicable.
Correct cable glanding is essential and due regard should be made to any system specifications which
demand a certain cable type.
Mains wiring
The requirement for the Mains supply to the fire panel is fixed wiring, using three core cable (no less than
2
1mm
and no more than 2.5mm2) or a suitable three conductor system, fed from an isolating switched fused
spur, fused at 3A. This should be secure from unauthorised operation and be marked ‘FIRE ALARM: DO NOT
SWITCH OFF’. The Mains supply must be exclusive to the fire panel.
(As an alternative to a switched fused spur, a double pole isolating device may be used providing it meets
the appropriate national wiring regulations - see diagram below.)
Planning the cable layout in the panel
The detector and sounder circuit cabling is classed as extra low voltage and should be segregated away
from Mains voltages. Careful planning is needed to ensure this, see figure 2 (below) for guidance. Drill
centre points are provided in the panel base to aid drilling tools. Cut out suitable holes in the panel using
a hole saw directed by a pilot bit in the centre of the hole saw. Always ensure that if a hole is cut out it is
filled with a good quality cable gland. Any unused holes must be securely blanked off.
Figure 2 : Location of centre points for hole removal
These four drill centre
points are for incoming
Mains cable only
Holes should be cut
out using a hole saw
with a pilot bit.

Typical detector circuit wiring
Depending on the model purchased, two, four, or eight detector circuit connections are available on the fire
alarm panel.
Refer to the specification on page 22 for the maximum number of devices that may be fitted to each circuit.
Note: The number of devices affects the standby time of the system, and this should be taken into
consideration when selecting the standby batteries. See page 21 for more information.
Figure 4 : Typical detector circuit wiring
Connect an end-of-line (EOL) capacitor (provided in the panel’s accessory pack) across the terminals of the
last device on each circuit to allow the wiring to be monitored. Unused detector circuits must also have an
EOL capacitor fitted at the panel terminals.
Detector bases with integral continuity diodes must be used to ensure manual call points remain operational
when a detector head is removed from its base. Manual call points with integral resistors must be used to
prevent a short circuit fault occurring instead of a fire condition when activated.
For more specific device wiring information, please refer to the manufacturers’ own instructions.
The wiring for each detector circuit should be connected to the relevant 5mm connector block on the Main
Control PCB and their screens terminated at the panel’s base earth post (see page 13 for detailed second fix
connection information).
