MAGPRO16 Addressable Fire Alarm Panel – Installation and Programming Manual

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. General Description

MAGPRO16 is an addressable fire panel with maximum coverage of 16 zones and connecting and up to 2 loops. The
panel supports communication protocol MAGPRO (MAGPRO16-L250 Loop) and operation with MAGPRO
addressable device series.

Every MAGPRO16-L250 Loop provides up to 250 devices (detectors and modules, regardless of the
type).

An arbitrary number of devices can be added to each zone thus ensuring the easy adaptation of the system to any type
of configuration.
To avoid or significantly diminish problems when mounting the system it must be carefully planned prior to installation.
This includes: setting an address for every device and planning a name of maximum 40 digits (including the
spaces) for each address, thereby ensuring easy access to the device.

According to the acting standards for establishing fire systems and the plan of the building, the devices must
be grouped in zones.

1.2. General Specifications

The front panel consists of LCD module (4 rows x 40 symbols), functional buttons and system status LED indication.
Separate access level passwords provide access to the functions of the panel.

mounting of a second loop controller for Loop 2 (Loop 1 is built-in the main PCB), LAN module and redundant network
module.
The panel has a built-in real time clock and calendar, allowing day and night time modes of work.
Switching over between the two modes can be automatic or manual. Events like FIRE, RESET, FAULT, etc., are saved
in the memory, thereby creating an event log-file. It contains the time and date, the address of the device, the name of
the device, the zone number, the name of the zone, etc.

2.3.4 Loop Controller

The MAGPRO16 fire alarm panel supports operation with MAGPRO16-L250 loop controller via communication protocol
MAGPRO.
The Loop Controller realizes the connection between the I/O Module and devices connected to the communication
line. The Loop Expander has two basic functions:

 Gathers data from the devices in the communication line and transfers it to the main microcontroller;
 Receives commands from the main microcontroller and transfers them to the devices connected in the

communication line.

Up to 250 MAGPRO devices can be connected to MAGPRO16-L250 loop controller. The general connection
diagram of devices to the loop controller is shown on Figure 13.

The maximum current consumption of the devices in the communication line is Imax = 500mA. If the consumption
exceeds this value an over-load protection would be turned on.

Figure 13 – Connecting of detectors to a loop controller

In the configuration of addressable fire alarm panel MAGPRO16 could be mounted a second loop controller as a
separate module – see Figure 14.

ATTENTION! Do not add or remove loop expanders to the fire panel configuration when
the main and backup power supplies are on!

 - Connect the connectors: LOOP 2 of the main control panel and LOOP of the second loop controller.
 - Fix the second loop expander to the metal box of the fire panel using the supplied bolts in the spare parts

kit.

MAGPRO16 Addressable Fire Alarm Panel – Installation and Programming Manual

1. To ensure the ability of the fire
panel to receive the signals from the
devices in the loop, calculate:

L

C1max

≤ 123 / R

C

2. To ensure the ability of the fire
panel to recognize the double
addresses in the system, calculate:

L

C2max

≤ 62 / RC

3. To ensure the ability of the devices
in the loop to receive command
signals from the panel, calculate:

L

C3max

≤ (12 / Imax - Ri) / RC

2.3.5 Maximum Permissible Cable Length

The maximum length of the loop in the system could vary according to the cross-section and the ohmic resistance of
the used cable.

ATTENTION! MAGPRO16-L250 Loop controller supports up to 250 devices, regardless of the type!

To ensure the correct operation of the system is necessary to make some calculations in advance:

where:

L
R

, L

C1max

- is total ohm resistance of the two wires of the used able; its value shows the magnitude of the cable resistance at

C

C2max

, L

- are maximum permissible length of the used cable, [km];

C3max

length 1km [Ω/km];

R

- is the total resistance of the isolator modules in the loop;

i

I

- is the maximum current consumption in the loop - total amount of the current consumption of all devices in the

max

loop *.

*Note, In case of using one or more from the following devices MAGPRO Series: SD1, HD1, HSD1, CP, CZM, WS,
WSS, DBS, DBSS.

Then the total amount for I

includes: the maximal current consumption in alarm mode of these 15 devices with

max

highest consumption, and for the rest of the devices - the total consumption in stand-by mode.

L

- is the necessary length of the cable for the loop.

C

After calculating, the maximal length of the cable is determined according:

• If L

≤ L

C

C2max

and L

≤ L

C

- the fire pane will be able to communicate with the devices in the loop and

C3max

also will be able to identify the presence of double addresses.

• If L

C2max

< LC ≤ L

C1max

and L

≤ L

C

- the fire panel will be able to communicate with the devices in

C3max

the loop but will not be able to identify the presence of double addresses.

ATTENTION! Always calculate the maximal cable length according the mentioned above formulas!
If L

> L

C

C1max

or L

> L

C

- the fire panel would not be able to communicate with the devices.

C3max

The connection diagram shown on Figure 15, gives the possibility to protect devices against opening and short circuit.
For example, short-circuit in section 2 will not influence the operation of sections 1 and 3. The isolator modules at the
both ends of section 2 will isolate it, and section 1 and 3 will continue working properly, as section 1 will operate by
supply from the channel “A” and section 3 - by supply from channel “B”. Since the fire panel will not be able to
communicate with the devices from section 2, it will generate an alarm signal for lost devices and open circuit.

The maximum recommended number of devices between two isolator modules (module isolator
device or using the built-in module isolator in a device) is 30!

2.4. Connecting to the Main Power Source

The mains power supply of MAGPRO16 fire alarm panel is realized with connection of the main power cable to the
230V terminal, mounted in the metal box under the powers source. The connection between the 230V terminal and the
main power source is done from the manufacturer. The connection of the main power supply cable to the 230V
terminal is shown on Figure 16.

Before the mains supply is switched on, check the correct connection of each loop, sounder or any other input
or output!

2.5. Connecting the Accumulator Battery

The accumulator battery leads are mounted on a terminal at the bottom of main control panel. Connect the battery
leads to the accumulator terminal as observe the polarity - see Figure 17.

The battery cannot power up the panel before the mains supply has been switched on!
The charging of the accumulator battery is done at maximum current I = 2A and charging voltage U
≤ 13.65V.
