PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The control panel is combined multi loop, up to 64 zone, analogue addressable and / or conventional
unit with integral power supply and space for standby batteries. It has two additional sounder circuits
per loop card as well as, auxiliary volt free contacts and various remote inputs and outputs. Also 150
soft groups are provided for cause and effects configuration, per loop or 100 per conventional radial
card.

The control panel comprises a sheet steel enclosure suitable for wall mounting with a hinged,
lockable front access door. It can be semi-recessed if required by using a suitable flushing bezel.
Cable entry is via the top or rear of the cabinet, where 20mm 'knockouts' are provided.

Different key types are used for the door lock and the ‘enable' key-switch, to control levels of access.
A 2 x 40 character, backlit LCD is fitted to display event information and function or configuration
menus. Alarm and status information is provided by LED indicators and there is a 12 button keypad
which controls the system and allows access to the function and configuration options.

The control panel has 4 conventional Radial circuits supplied as standard and can accommodate
additional 4 way conventional circuit cards up to 64 circuits. Each radial circuit is configurable in one
of 3 possible ways. The default is for a traditional conventional monitored fire detection circuit. The
circuit can be set as a ‘TWIN’ wire where detectors and sounders can be connected to the same pair
of wires. In this configuration special ‘TWIN’ wire detector bases must be used for detector r emoval
monitoring. The Third possible configuration is as a monitored sounder circuit to activate Fire alarm
sounder devices. Each circuit is assigned to a detection ‘ZONE’ by default dependant on the card
address. The ZONE number can be reassigned. Each Radial can have a 40 character location
message. The radial circuits integrate seamlessly with the analogue addressable devices and
programmed zones. The Radial circuits can be used as inputs or outputs to any cause and effect
groups on the panel.

The Fusion panel is provided with an internal power supply module. The smaller FBUS models have
a 3 Amp module and the FBUL versions have a 5 Amp module. These modules Comply with the
requirements of EN54-4 :1988 and provide temperature compensated battery management, charging
and earth fault monitoring. The power supply modules consist of an assembly comprising AC mains
to 36vdc power pack and a control PCB with heat-sink which provides the control and monitoring
functions and 28vdc nominal power output. The power supply modules have two independent current
limited outputs for supplying power to the panel circuits.

Both power supply units are designed for use with VLRA sealed lead acid type batteries see
Installation manual for details of battery models and sizes. These rechargeable batteries provide
power in the case of a loss of AC mains power.

It is possible to power the panel from a remote power supply if required and input terminals are
provided to facilitate the remote supply input and also to monitor the unit for mains and battery
failure. An integral 5 amp power supply and expansion box to allow space for 17Ah batteries is also
available.

Access to the panel functions and configuration options is at different levels enabling restricted
access to certain functions. At the user level it is possible to disable parts of the system, set the time
and date, put the system into walktest mode and view the system status. Advanced options include
configuration, maintenance checks and fault finding mode.

The control panel incorporates an 'auto-learn' feature which enables the system devices to be
recognised on initial power up. Configuration of the system operation can be achieved via the panel
controls or by downloading data created in a PC software program.

INSTALLATION (Continued)

Mounting the cabinet

The installation of fire detection and alarm systems should be carried out in accordance with
current IEE wiring regulations and in line with BS 5839 British Standard codes of practice for fire
alarm installations. The installation should be carried out by suitably qualified and experienced
technicians.

Care should be taken with regards to avoiding the close proximity of high voltage cables or areas
likely to induce electrical interference. Earth links should be maintained on all system cables and
grounded in the control panel.
Any junction boxes used should be clearly labelled FIRE ALARM.

Any ancillary devices, e.g. door retaining magnets, must be powered from a separate power
source.
Any coils or solenoids used in the system must be suppressed, to avoid damage to the control
equipment.
The site chosen for the location of the panel should be clean and dry, and not subject to shock or
vibration.Damp or salt air or environments where water ingress or extremes of temperature may
affect the panel must be avoided. The temperature should be in the range -5° to +40°C, and the
relative humidity should not exceed 95%.

ESD precaution

Electronic components are vulnerable to damage by Electrostatic Discharges (ESD). An ESD
wrist strap, suitably grounded, should be worn at all times when handling pcbs. These wrist straps
are designed to prevent the build up of static charges, not only within a persons body, but on
many other materials.
ESD damage is not always evident immediately, faults can manifest themselves at anytime in the
future.

All pcbs should be stored in static shielded bags (silvered) for safe keeping, when not mounted in
the control panel.

INSTALLATION (Continued)

Cable types and limitations

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 screened cables throughout the
installation.
Acceptable, commonly available, screened cables, which can be used on both the sounder and
detector circuits include FP200™, Firetuff™, Firecel™, MICC (Pyro™) or any other cable complying
with BS 6387 categories C, W, Z.. Refer to BS 5839 pt1 clause 26 for detailed information on cables
wiring and interconnections.

Cabling

Suitable cables should be brought into the cabinet using the knockouts provided via a suitable cable
gland recommended for use with that cable. The screen or drain wire of loop circuits should be
bonded to earth at one location only, and should be continuous throughout the circuit. Drain wires
should be terminated in the cabinet using the 4 way brass earthing terminal block p rovided.

Integrity of transmission paths

To satisfy the requirements of EN45 -2. and to ensure a reliable system, it should be designed and
maintained to local design and installation regulations.

The Fusion has loop isolators included in the panel, and external loop isolators must be included in
the loop wiring. A single short circuit fault will only disable devices in the section of wiring between
isolators. In the case of a single open circuit no devices will be lost, since monitoring will be from both
ends of the loop, a fault will be indicated in this circumstance.

A design issue with any analogue fire system is the combined effect of loop resistance, loop
capacitance and the current demand of items connected to the loop. Factors that influence this
include loop length, cable diameter, cable type, the number of isolators used and the number and
type of devices between isolators. We recommend the use of the Apollo loop calculator program
which can be used to check the integrity of a proposed installation. The following guidelines can be
used as a rule of thumb.

 Maximum addressable loop length = 1km, with either 1mm2 or 1.5mm2 cables.
 Maximum conventional Radial length = 500 metres, either 1mm2 or 1.5mm2 cables.
 Approx 20 addressable devices between loop isolators of which no more than 6 should

be loop sounders.

 Maximum 32 conventional detectors per radial circuit. Note a radial circuit must not

cover more than one physical zone area.

 If loop sounders are used, use 1.5mm2 cable and do not fit more that 32 loop sounders

per loop in total.

 Where conventional sounders are used, use 1.5mm2 cable and do not fit more than 22

sounders per radial circuit in total.

Fusion Installation & Commissioning Manual Approved document No UI-FBU-01 issue 3.0

INSTALLATION (Continued)

Mains wiring

The mains supply to the fire alarm panel should be hard wired, using suitable three core cable (no
less than 1.0 mm² and no more than 2.5mm² ) or a suitable three conductor system that meets the
appropriate national wiring regulations. The panel should be fed from an isolating switched fused
spur, supplied directly from the Main Distribution Board, fused at 3A. This should be secure from
unauthorised operation and be marked ‘FIRE ALARM: DO NOT SWITCH OF F’.
The mains supply must be exclusive to the fire panel.

As an alternative to a switched fused spur, an appropriately fused double pole isolating device may
be used (see diagram) providing it meets the appropriate national wiring regulations.

Recommended Batteries

The following batteries are approved for use with the Fusion control panels.
Yuasa NP range of sealed lead acid batteries or equivalent. 2 of each required for 24volt operation

INSTALLATION (Continued)

Planning the cable layout in the panel

The detector and sounder circuit cabling is classed as extra low voltage and must be segregated
away from mains voltages.

NOTE. The Main PCB should be removed before any knockouts.

Always ensure that if a knockout is removed, the hole is filled with a good quality cable gland. Any
unused knockouts must be securely blanked off.

Knockouts should be removed with
a sharp tap at the rim of the knock­out using a flat 6mm broad-bladed
screwdriver. Use of excessive force
will damage the enclosure around
the knockout.

Testing and maintenance

Disconnect the mains supply. The ‘General Fault LED ’ and the ‘ Power Fault LED’ will show and
the internal buzzer will sound . The LCD will indicate ‘ MAINS FAIL ’.

Mute the buzzer by pressing the No. 7 key on the keypad, ‘mute buzzer’. Reconnect the mains, all
Fault LEDs will extinguish.

Disconnect the battery. After a period of time in the region of 60 to 80 seconds ,The ‘General Fault
LED ’ and the ‘ Power Fault LED’ will show and the internal buzzer will sound . The LCD will
indicate ‘ Low battery fault ’.

Mute the buzzer by pressing the No. 7 Key on the keypad, ‘mute buzzer’. Reconnect the battery,
all Fault LEDs will extinguish after a 60—80 second delay.

Calibration Mode

The Fusion Power supply has a calibration mode to enable simple checking of the battery charging
voltage setting. The Voltage setting is normally calibrated in the factory and should not require
adjustment. However local conditions may require small adjustments.

The power supply has a temperature compensation circuit so the ambient temperature will need to
be taken into account. see the attached chart detailing possible battery charging voltage Vs
temperature.

The calibration mode is entered using the calibration mode dil switch. This switch will set the PSU
into CAL mode for 60 seconds only. The normal state for the CAL mode switch is in the ‘ON’
position switching ‘OFF’ will invoke the CAL mode .During Cal mode the charger voltage should be
monitored with a voltmeter calibrated to a known NAMAS standard source. There is a small square
pad on the pcb next to the CAL switch labelled + this point is for the +Ve lead of the voltmeter and
the –ve lead of the voltmeter should be connected to 0V which can be the nearby –36v terminal.
During CAL mode all the PSU LEDs will flash together intermittently and the battery is disconnected
internally from the charger. (Note a mains fail during CAL mode will cause the panel po wer
down).The Voltage setting can be checked now. There are also two additional switches which will
cause the PSU to simulate the charging voltages for a range of temperatures . Voltages will be
checked in the area of 26—30V DC (For meter setting information.) Procedure continu es on next
page.

Switch ‘ON’ 2 and check the voltage within limits for <5 deg C (28.1v +/- 0.3v). Then Switch ‘OFF’ 1

& 2 and return CAL switch to ‘ON’ (normal) position.
If any voltage is outside the limits the voltage can be adjusted at the CAL mode only setting for the

correct level for the ambient voltage. Ideally the settings should be along the middle line above or at
least within the two limit lines.
CAL mode will automatically drop out after 60 seconds, recycle the CAL switch to restart.

MAINTENANCE.

Periodic system maintenance should be carried out in line with the local design, maintena nce and
installation regulations.

The standby batteries should be checked for physical condition to include checking integrity of
the connections and battery cables, The batteries should be load tested to ensure they have ade­quate capacity. Any sign of venting or case warping should be dealt with by replacement and
careful checking of charging voltages etc.

The panel should require no other regular maintenance other than cleaning with a soft cloth and a
light application of a non abrasive cleaning agent (soapy water) to clean the fascia. Do not use
strong solvents to clean the panel.

The event logs should be inspected and any recurring faults should be investigat ed.

COMMISSIONING

General

When the control panel is installed and the wiring is complete, the system can be
commissioned. The commissioning procedure compri ses two main elements:-

(i) connecting the external wiring circuits and powering the panel.
(ii) configuring the system for the required operation.

Conventional Field devices

The control panel operates with the Apollo series 65 Conventional devices, Hochiki CDX range
conventional and accepts a wide range of Conventional field devices of other manufacture.
Field devices should be connected to the radial circuits in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions supplied with them, ensuring that where necessary a 24V DC supply is available,
and monitoring resistors are fitted. The following chart is a brief overview of the supported de­vices and relevant part numbers. Please consult with Technical support for details of unlisted
devices.

COMMISSIONING

Radial circuit options

The radial circuits are initially configured as normal conventional detection circuits. There are
three possible modes of operation which can be configured in the control panel parameters.

CONV = conventional detection using shottky diode detector removal monitoring
TWIN = twin wire operation whereby detectors and sounders may be fitted on the same pair of

cables. Special detector bases and call points are required for this function (refer to list on p 35)
SDR = sounder circuit function. The circuit can be used as a conventional polarity reversal

sounder circuit up to 500mA load
Refer to the wiring diagram on next page for connection details. All three circuits utilise a 4K7 end

of line resistor. No more than 32 conventional devices or sounders should be added to any radial
circuit.

Zoning

Radial circuits adopt a default fire detection zone during initialisation depending on the address of
the PCB. Zone numbers can be altered in the panel configuration. Note:- In the programming the
circuit will be referred to as a radial number which remains unchanged whichever zo ne the radial
is programmed . Radial circuit zones can be seamlessly shared with addressabl e device zones to
accommodate existing wiring layouts in upgraded systems.

Input and output attributes

For CONV and TWIN type radials a number of input attributes can be adjusted in the panel con ­figuration. These are mostly to assist with interfacing or compatibility with legacy systems.

IMPORTANT !

Radial circuit options (continued)

output attributes

TWIN and SDR circuits have additional output attributes. These control the function of the output in
relation to events occurring on the panel e.g. Fire . These attributes are the same as those available
for addressable loop output devices.

The device response refers to the fundamental signals which affect the output.
The default setting is ‘COMMON’ which means that any alarm signal will activate the output
Other settings that may be applied:
‘GROUPS’ the output can be set to respond only to the status of preset cause and effect groups.
‘LOCAL’ the output will only respond to the local device alarm. (Valid for TWIN circuits only)
‘ZONAL’ The output will respond continuously to its assigned zone number being in alarm

And follow the default sounder response of ‘pulsing’ or ‘off’ when other zones are in alarm.
‘COMMON’ the output will respond continous to all alarm events.
The other output attributes which can apply are
[S] = silence , if ‘Y’ the output will silence from the command of the silence button if ‘N’ the output will

continue until panel reset occurs

[E] = Evacuate if ‘Y’ the output will activate if an evacuate status occurs. If ‘N’ then evacuate will

not operate it.

[P] = Precinct (or class change) If ‘Y’ the output will respond to the precinct input being active. If ‘N’

the out put will not respond to the precinct input.

Investigation delays

A facility is provided to set an investigation delay. The investigation delay can be set on a Zonal ba­sis and is set in the engineers options menu.

Investigation delays can be overridden by operation of a manual call point. In the case of conven­tional circuits this must be a special ’PRIORITY ALARM’. Call point containing a 220 Ohm alarm re­sistance (MCP1A-R-220)

COMMISSIONING

Fire alarm with output delays

The system can be programmed with delays to outputs (fire alarm sounders). If a delay has been
programmed this is indicated by the DELAY LED which will be illuminated. Delays can be applied to
all zones or individual zones as required.

A programmed delay can be turned off if required in the menu option 11: Set delays.
If a delay is turned ‘OFF’ DELAYS INACTIVE will be displayed alternately on the normal display. If
the delay is set ‘ON’ the DELAY LED will be illuminated.

If the acknowledgement and investigation delay option is enabled. A fire alarm is registered at the
panel but does not immediately activate the sounders or remote output (dependant on program
settings). The display will show:-

[FIRE /DELAY 019 ZONE 01 OF 01 ZONES ACK TIME]
[40 CHARACTERS LOCATION TEXT]

The delay timer shows how much time is left for acknowledgement. If the alarm is not acknowl­edged before the first timer expires the panel will enter full alarm

The alarm can be acknowledged by pressing button [5] on the keypad. If the sounders a re active
they may be silenced by pressing SILENCE / RESOUND ALARMS button.
Once acknowledged the display will show:-

[FIRE /DELAY 120 ZONE 01 OF 01 ZONES INVEST]
[40 CHARACTERS LOCATION TEXT]

The delay timer shows how much time is left for investigation. If the alarm is not RESET before the
second timer expires the panel will enter full alarm..

Pressing EVACUATE or operating a manual call point will terminate the investigation delays and
activate all programmed sounders.

IMPORTANT

The Fusion panel large box (FBULxx-xx-xx) has a clear acrylic window protecting the display and
controls. If investigation delays are used, a manual call point must be mounted near to the panel to
enable instant override of the delay at access level 1, to ensure EN54-2 compliance.

The investigation timer can be disabled in the Set Delays menu. Note:- When the investigation
alarms are disabled. Sounders will activate immediately following a detector alarm.

COMMISSIONING (continued)

Loop wiring

The loop wiring should be tested in accordance with the requirements of BS 5839 Part 1 before
connecting devices.

When the detector bases and other field devices have been connected, the loop should be checked
for continuity and earth faults using a multimeter only. To measure the continuity it is necessary to
link the L1 IN and L1 OUT terminals in each isolator.

NOTE

Measure the resistance of the loop and ensure that it does not exceed 50 ohms. Check there are no
earth faults present. When the loop wiring checks have been satisfactorily completed, reinstate the
isolators and connect the circuit as indicated in the figure below.

Important

Loop circuits have short circuit isolation at loop out and loop in terminals. For maximum integrity
against short circuit faults we recommend the use of short circuit isolator devices. For guidance on
location of short circuit isolators, please refer to BS 5839-1:2002 section 12.2.2, System Integrity.

: Unlike other XP95 devices, isolators are polarity sensitive and must be connected correctly.

COMMISSIONING (continued)

Powering the panel

It is recommended that following the connection of the loop circuit the panel is powered up and
tested before proceeding with the connection of the sounders, remote outputs and auxiliaries.

When the panel is first powered up, the panel must be initialised, or a configuration program
downloaded. The loop is scanned and the devices are identified. Each device is displayed showing
its address and type, and the zone as 'unassigned', allowing the operator to allocate each device to
the required zone (see Initialisation).

Mains connection

Ensure that the incoming mains supply is fully isolated. Remove the fuse from the mains terminal
block and connect the incoming live, neutral and earth wires to the L, N and Primary Earthing Stud.

Switch on the supply (do not replace the fuse at this stage).

COMMISSIONING (continued)

Sounder circuits

The four sounder circuits are connected as follows:
Remove the 4K7 resistor from the sounder circuit terminals on the main PCB and fit to the last

device on each circuit
Circuits are fused at 500mA each.
Sounder circuit No 4 can be altered in the programming to be a remote signal output:
Output to Fire Alarm Routing Equipment, monitored signal for use with remote, manned sta-

tions etc. EN54-2, section 7.9.1, option with requirements. When this is set in the parameters an
indication is given when this output is active (remote active). Also the output can be separately
disabled from other outputs and has its own unique indication (remote disabled / fault).

NOTE : To comply with BS 5839 Part 1, at least 2 circuits should be utilised.

Remote relay contacts

Three sets of volt free changeover relay contacts are available for control functions. By default the
relays activate on a common fire basis.

Relay One Programmable relay, energises on a Fire Alarm and de-energises on Reset
Relay Two Programmable relay, energises on a Fire Alarm and de-energises on Reset
Common Fault De-energises on any fault condition and stays de-energised until the fault is

cleared. ie: failsafe.

NOTE : Fault relay is normally energised when the system is healthy.

COMMISSIONING (continued)

Remote outputs

The remote output terminals provide a switched 0V supply in conjunction with system events and
can be used for control and/or signalling purposes.The load applied to any remote output should not
exceed 100mA.

The following outputs are available and are switched on when the relevant event occurs:

CFR Common fire (switched off when Reset is pressed)
CFLT Common fault (switched off when fault clears)
RS Reset (3 second pulse when Reset is pressed)
PA Pre-alarm (switched off when condition clears)
REM Remote signal (switched off when Reset is pressed)
SCF Common fire (switched off when Silence is pressed)

Remote inputs

The remote inputs provide control functions from remote switches and are energised by applying 0V
(-28v) via a switch or relay contact.

Remote input connection detail

Fusion Installation & Commissioning Manual Approved document No UI-FBU-01 issue 3.0

52

COMMISSIONING (continued)

Remote power supply

If required, the supply to the control panel can be derived from a remote power supply and battery
unit. Input terminals are provided in the control panel on the main pcb for the 28V supply, charger
and battery fault conditions. The clock and data lines must be maintained. For connections see the
Terminal Block 4 diagram .

In the event of remote supply failure the LCD shows 'Power Supply Fault'.

CPU reset

The 'CPU Reset' pushbutton on the main pcb is provided to manually restart the system following
the failure of the software to execute a command. The effect is the same as disconnecting and
reconnecting power to the panel.

Checking the system

Any fault conditions indicated at this stage should be investigated and cleared before putting the
system into operation.
Check that the system operates in accordance with the operation described in the following pages.

Clear SYSTEM FAULT

Following an incident where the panel failed to execute software or crashed during operation a
’SYSTEM FAULT ’ previously known as 'ARW' (Automatic Reset Warning) indication is present.
This must be cleared by operating the RESET switch on the front panel.

If SYSTEM FAULT warnings occur during normal system operation, there may be 'interference' or
a software problem. The source of the problem must be investigated. Contact the manufacturer for
further advice.

Operation of the control panel in the event of a system fault.

In the event of a system fault where the memory contents of a loop card may not be relied upon
the panel will enter a ‘safe’ state utilising a set of default parameters for that loop (unless the loop
is completely inoperable). In this case devices will report as belonging to zone 1 and in the case of
an alarm condition outputs will revert to a common fire operation (i.e. any special programmed
cause and effects will not apply). The device loop and address will be displayed in the event of a
fault or fire condition.

In the Fusion panel each loop or 4 way radial card is controlled by it’s own independent micro­controller, so no more than 126 devices would be affected by a system fault on a single processor.

In the event of a system fault affecting the display PCB, fire events are indicated via a pure
hardware link which operates the ‘General Fire’ LED, panel buzzer and the four sounder circuits /
remote signal (if programmed)
Note If sounder circuit 4 is ‘not’ programmed for use as ‘Fire alarm routing’ output
A diode ‘D53’ located above the supply healthy LED can be snipped from the PCB to prevent the
‘Fire alarm routing active’ LED being lit in the case of a Fire alarm whilst the display PCB is in
‘system fault’ condition. If sounder 4 is in use as a ‘Fire alarm routing output’ leave the diode D53
intact.

NETWORKING

The Fusion utilises CAN (controller area networking) Protocol to provide a fast reliable network of up
to 16 control panels and / or repeater panels.

Up to 1,000 metres of cable can be used over the network. The recommended cable for use with
Control panel networking is a Screened twisted pair fire resistant cable.

Typical cables for networking use include:-

Cable Manufacturer Cabl e Type 1.0mm 1.5mm 30 min 120 min

AEI FireTec Multicore FS2C x x
Cavicel SpA Firecel SR/114H x x x
Draka Firetuf PLUS x x x
Prysmian (Pirelli) FP200 Gold x x x
Tyco MICCtwistedpyroECCMT - - - ­Ventcroft VFP-215ERH x x

Note:- Belden 8760 1 pair cable can be used but is not suitable where a fire resistant cable is
required.

The CAN bus requires to be terminated at the furthest ends by 120R (ohm) resistors, these are
supplied ready fitted to the FSB17 circuit board just under the CAN BUS terminals (position R177).

Where more than two panels are on a single network the resistors should be removed from the
panels other than the two furthest. Using a fine pair of wire cutters to snip the resistor legs. CAN bus
connections are labelled A and B. All A terminals are connected together and all B terminals. They
can be connected in any wiring configuration but not in a loop. Signal levels around 5 volts would
typically be seen when the bus is
running.

Typical CAN bus wiring:-

Setting up network

Each panel in the network must be set with a unique address starting at 0 this is set on the address
switches on each panel in turn (refer to page 24 for details). Each panel has a parameter in the
engineering options menu ‘set system parameters’ option No 3 to set the number of remote panels.
This quantity needs to be set on each panel to represent the number of other panels fitted in the
system e.g. in a network of five panels this figure will be set to 4 in each case. Once set correctly the
system will be in the quiescent state.

Network diagnostics

As each panel operates on a peer to peer basis i.e. independently. All panels monitor each other.
Each panel sends a regular ident pulse which is monitored by all others. If an error is present it will
be enunciated on all panels. A fault message is given if a panel is lost or if a panel is seen on the
network which is not expected. Also the integrity of the message packets received is constantly
monitored. If data corruption is occurring (perhaps due to cabling faults) this will be enunciated as a
‘network message error’ along with the number relating to the panel affected. (Note due to display
restrictions panels 10 to 15 are indicated by letters A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, F=15,) This
indication may also be given if there are two identical addresses on the network. To clear the fault
check all address settings or cable integrity.

SYSTEM OPERATION

Fire alarm

During normal operation the only active indication on the control panel is the green Supply Pre­sent LED. The LCD shows the system normal message and the time, date and company name, if
utilised.
The control keyswitch should be in the OFF position and the key should be removed and stored
in a secure place, readily available when required.

If a manual call point is activated, or an automatic detector senses smoke or heat, a fire alarm
signal is generated and the following occurs:

1 The alarm sounders operate in accordance with the programmed configuration. This is

normally a general evacuation (continuous) alarm throughout the building, but may be an

alert (intermittent) signal, or alarm in certain parts of the building only.
2 The common FIRE LED flashes on the front panel.
3 The relevant zone LED flashes (1-64).
4 The LCD illuminates and shows the event information.
5 The internal buzzer pulses rapidly.
6 The remote output operates and signals the fire brigade (if this has been

configured in the system).
7 Remote control functions are initiated in accordance with the program, e.g.

doors closed, ventilation shutdown, etc.

The actions to be taken in the event of a fire alarm should be fully documented and implemented
immediately upon hearing the alarm.

After the event, note the event details, i.e. the activated zone and the device details if not already
determined.

SYSTEM OPERATION (continued)

Silencing the alarm

Before the alarm sounders can be silenced the CONTROLS keyswitch must be set to the ON
position by inserting the key and turning it clockwise a quarter of a turn. Alternatively a code may
be entered to the keypad to enable the controls. (providing this option is set in the parameters)

With the controls enabled, press the SILENCE/RESOUND ALARMS keypad button once:-

1 The alarm sounders on the system are silenced.
2 The LCD will illuminate to indicate the current status.
3 The flashing common fire and zone LEDs change to steady.
4 The buzzer tone changes to an intermittent bleep.
5 The LCD continues to show the event information.

NOTE : If another device is activated, the sounders are re-energised and the new event
information is displayed.

If there are multiple events on the system, the information for each event may be viewed by using
the toggle function with keypad buttons 2/8.

The ‘MORE’ LED is illuminated if there are other events. The LCD shows the total number of
events.

Resounding the alarm

If, having silenced the sounders, it is necessary to reactivate them, e.g.because there are
personnel still within the building, press the SILENCE/RESOUND ALARMS keypad button again.

Resetting the system

To restore the system to normal operation after a fire alarm it is necessary to
reset the control panel by pressing the RESET button. (Key 9 on keypad)

All the LEDs illuminate for 3 -4 seconds (lamptest function) following which
the panel reverts to its normal mode.

NOTE :
1 It is not possible to reset the system until the alarms have been silenced.
2 The system will not reset if the cause of the alarm is still present, i.e broken glass in call

point or smoke/heat in the vicinity of a detector.

SYSTEM OPERATION (continued)

Fault conditions

When the control panel detects a fault condition one of the following occurs:

1. The GENERAL FAULT led will flash and the LCD will show the details.

2. The SYSTEM FAULT led will flash, indicating that the processor has halted. This can only
be reset by an engineer.

3. The SNDR FAULT led will flash to indicate a fault on the alarm circuit.

4. The POWER FAULT led, when flashing, indicates a power supply failure. The LCD will
show the details

5. For each of the above or combination of them, the internal buzzer pulses (slow pulse)

6. The LCD will display the event information, e.g.

The fault message is normally self-explanatory, for instance, in the above example the message is
NO RESPONSE indicating that the panel cannot communicate with the device A003, which could
indicate that it had been removed. The fault condition can be accepted by pressing the MUTE

BUZZER key

The flashing LEDs go steady and the buzzer tone changes to an intermittent bleep. The panel
automatically returns to normal operation when the fault condition clears; however, certain faults,
e.g. SYSTEM FAULT, require the CPU to be reset.

MENU AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS

General

The control panel incorporates facilities to alter the status of the system, e.g:- it is possible to isolate
parts of the system if there is work in progress, or a particular device is faulty and causing unwanted
alarms. The system can be put into test mode to allow an engineer to activate devices without
causing a general alarm, and the time and date can be changed, e.g. for British Summer Time.

These functions are accessible to the user at access level 2 but care should be exercised when
utilising the functions as it is possible to disable some or all of the system. It is recommended that
before attempting to enter the options menu the features are fully understood, and the operator is
familiar with the controls used to navigate the menus and select options.

Caution:- Ensure any changed device settings are correct, i.e. input & output responses.

NOTE. Before auto-learning takes place it is important that the placement of components and the

addressing of them on the loop, has been completed. Auto-learning can only take place once the
control panel has been initialised, if this option is selected during initialisation, a warning message is
displayed and auto-learn is halted until initialisation is completed. An option is provided either to learn
the complete loop and overwrite all the previous data or just learn new or removed devices without
affecting the rest of the programming. As a default all auto learned devices are placed in zone 1. The
device zone designations may be altered at the next step by selecting the edit loop devices option

5) Set Common Response Mode, (Local or System Wide). Output devices respond to a
common alarm. This option sets whether the common alarm signal can be received from
other panels within the network. When set to ‘local’, if an output is required to operate
due to activation of a remote panel, it would have to be programmed via ‘network
responses’. If set to ‘system wide’, any outputs set as ‘common’ would activate for a fire
condition on any panel within the network.

6) Set Zone Scope, (Local or System Wide). This option is only relevant for networked
systems. If set to ‘local’ the zones 1 - 64 are unique to the particular panel. If set to
‘system wide’, the zones are shared with other network panels. When set to ‘system
wide’, zone disablements can be set at any panel for the entire network.

7) Disablements From Other Panels, (No or Yes). When set to ’yes’, if a disablement
exists on another panel, the following message will appear on the LCD display;
DISABLEMENTS ACTIVE AT PANEL X’. Note:- Details of the disablement can only be
viewed on the originating panel. If set to ’no’, no message is displayed. If the zone scope
option has been set to ‘system wide’, zone disablements will be displayed regardless of
this setting.

CONFIGURATION

Following the initialisation procedure, the control panel has basic functionality, i.e. if a detector or call
point is activated, the alarm is annunciated and the sounder circuits are energised.

For the system to function in any other wa y it must be configured for the required operation. This
configuration is also known as 'cause and effect', i.e. the action in the event of a particular
occurrence is specified.

The cause and effect capability of the panel is quite powerful and provides sufficient flexibility to
enable the system to be configured for the required operation in most cases. Where there are special
requirements which cannot be met by the standard features, it is possible for the software to be
customised to satisfy a particular project. The supplier should be consulted in such circumstances.

Of the configuration options available, full editing may be carried out via the panel control switches.
Configuration editing, including assigning devices to groups, etc. can also be carried out via the PC
software program which is used to download a program directly to the panel.

To provide a better understanding of how the system may be configured, the various device types
and their operation is explained in more detail in the following paragraphs.

Zones

The Fusion is equipped with up to 64 ‘Fire Zones’ which are used to indicate the location of a device,
or group of devices, on the system. Any device which is required to provide an indication must be
assigned to one of these zones. All devices may be assigned to the ‘Fire Zones’ 1 - 64. A device
which has no zonal function for example an output unit can be assigned purely to GROUPS this will
then be available to be assigned into cause and effect groups and will not be affected by zonal
activity.

The Fusion can be supplied with 16 or 64 zonal indications.

for each device. With reference to the keypad template letters and numbers can be entered for each
key. Press shift or back to place the cursor and enter the desired character by pressing the
appropriate button. When complete press the menu button to return to the upper line

Set Device Options

The Fusion panel supports the following functions:-

 Device sensitivity mode settings
 Selection of Day / Night mode sensitivity changing
 Device LED ‘polling’ indication (refer to Apollo Discovery literature for more details)

Default Device Sensitivity

Initially the screen shows:
‘Confirm default all sensitivities’ select ‘yes’ to set all device sensitivities on the loop back to the
factory defaults (mid range) Individual sensitivity settings can be set in the edit loop devices menu.

Set polling indicator

Some analogue addressable devices have the option for the polling LED to flash whilst the loop is
being polled by the panel. This is normally switched off. This menu offers a selection to pulse the
LED on the devices. Setting yes will cause the Indicator LEDs on all Discovery protocol devices to
Flash briefly when being scanned.

Ancillary Base settings

Apollo sounder devices in general occupy addresses on the loop in the range of address1 to 126.
Ancillary bases can be assigned to the back of a smoke detector. These bases are controlled by the
remote LED output of the detector device and therefore will only operate if the detector is present at
the address. Ancillary sounder bases come in two varieties ‘sounder’ or ‘relay’. The panel is unable
to scan these devices and they can only be added manually to the loop in the programming. If no
base is set then the base sounder or relay will not operate! Removing the base will not generate a
fault condition. If a detector is removed at an address with a base sounder attached a sounder fault is
generated. Ancillary sounders have only 1 tone available. Other output options are available and they
can be operated zonally or included in groups.

PC CONFIGURATION

The FUSION PC Configuration program enables a system to be programmed via a PC to operate in
accordance with specific requirements, and includes options for zonal sounder operation, 2-stage
and coincidence functions, selective output device operation, etc.

The program also enables device types to be programmed, devices to be assigned to zones, and
device location text to be entered. In addition devices can be assigned to groups.

Configuration files are created via the PC program and downloaded to the on board processor. This
program will affect the way that the panel functions and could result in a system operation that does
not comply with British Standards and/or the specification. The fact that there are no faults indicated
does not necessarily infer compliance. Therefore, persons using this program should be in
possession of the full system information, and should be familiar with the procedures described in
this manual before attempting to create or edit a configuration program.

It is assumed that users of the PC Configuration program are experienced fire alarm system
engineers with basic computer skills. It is recommended that the configuration program is copied
from the CD or Flash memory stick on which it is supplied, to the machine’s hard disc, using the
installation routing “SETUP.EXE”

Configuration options

On a new project there are basically two ways of loading the required configuration data into the
panel.

If the initialisation procedures described previously are carried out, the program from the panel can
be read into the configuration program and edited as required, e.g. group assignments, etc., by using
the ‘Read panel data’ option.This method ensures that the device information is correct, i.e. the
device type programmed for each address matches the installed device.
Preferably, a configuration file can be created via the PC program and downloaded to the on board
processor. If this method is chosen, the programmer must ensure that the device details entered into
the program match the installation.Newly created or edited files can be saved to disk for record
purposes, and the data can be subsequently retrieved for editing. To retrieve a file from disk, select
'Load an existing project file' option and follow the on-screen prompts.

The 'Create a new project ' option is selected to display the client data and the ‘edit’ screen where a
configuration program is created or edited before being saved and/or downloaded.
Finally, the configuration file can be printed as a hard copy record of the system program.

Fusion Installation & Commissioning Manual Approved document No UI-FBU-01 issue 3.0

78

PC CONFIGURATION (Continued)

Before creating or editing a configuration file it is important to understand the available o ptions and
the program/system limitations. The following paragraphs describe the basic functions of the program
and how they affect the system operation when downloaded to the on board micro-processor.

The programmer should also be in possession of the device information, i.e. address, type, location,
etc., and understand the specified operation. The available device types and their function are
described in the configuration section earlier in this manual, but are outlined again here for
clarification.

The device types are:-

Sensors; i.e. Ionisation (ION), Optical (OPT) and Temperature (TEM)
Manual Call Point (MAN)
Sounder module / Addressable sounder / Beacon (SDR)
Input/output module (RIO)
Zone Monitor (ZMU)

NOTE . The device type assigned to each address must match the installed device type.

Assigning devices to zones.

Devices which are to be indicated zonally by the panel, i.e. sensors, call points, zone modules and
input modules must be assigned to a zone in the range 1 to 64. SDR device types (sounders) can be
assigned to a zone in the range 1 to 64. Sounders assigned to a specific zone operate according to
output response settings. All other sounders are either silent or pulsed, depending on the 'default
ringing mode' which is selected in the edit screen.

Input/output modules (RIO) can be assigned to a zone in the range 1 to 64
I/O modules assigned to a specific zone turn their output on according to output response settings.

Fusion Installation & Commissioning Manual Approved document No UI-FBU-01 issue 3.0

79

PC CONFIGURATION (Continued)

Example 1

In a multi-storey building the sounders are required to operate continuously on the floor where the
activation occurs and intermittently elsewhere.

Assuming each floor comprises one zone only, the sounder modules/ addressable sounders on the
floor are assigned to that zone, the output response to zonal and the default ringing mode is set to
'Pulsed'.

When a device is activated, the associated sounders operate continuously and all others are pulsed.
If, however, each floor comprises more than one zone, the above method is not suitable as only the
sounders associated with the activated zone will sound continuously. In this case it is necessary to
assign devices to a Group, or Groups.

Assigning devices to groups

The program is highly flexible with 150 groups available in each loop for programming. With careful
planning and forethought at the installation stage, reasonably complex operating modes can be
achieved.

Groups are used to link devices so that, for instance, the activation of a device in any one of several
zones can activate common sounders or turn on a particular output. Groups spanning several loops
can be created using the group scope setting.

Each group has options in the way it operates, i.e. Normal, Coincidence or 2-stage. Basically, the
selection has the following effect :-

Normal The activation of any input device in the group will operate sounders/

outputs in the group. Other sounders, i.e. those not in the group, are silent or
pulsed depending on the default ring mode.

Coincidence The activation of two or more devices in the group is necessary to

operate sounders/outputs in the group.

2-stage The activation of a single input device in the group causes sounders only in the

group to pulse; and the activation of a subsequent device causes the sounders to
go steady.

ISOLATOR Devices in this group will be disabled by an active isolator device.

Devices may be assigned to one or more groups to achieve the required operation. Sounders and
output modules can be assigned to zones and groups, or just groups depending on the required
operation. Input devices are always assigned to a zone, irrespective of any groups they may also be
assigned to.

Example 2

In the example above, if each floor comprises, say four zones, the required operation is achieved by
assigning the devices in the relevant zones and the applicable sounders to a group (set to Normal).

If additional functions are required such as generating a general alarm when a call point, or two or
more devices are active, additional groups are set to the appropriate mode and programmed to
provide the required result.

UPLOADING OR DOWNLOADING FUSION PANEL FROM PC

To download program data to the panel a special adapter device is required. This device is supplied
as part of a kit together with the software and leads (SW-FSB25). The device provides an opto­isolated serial communication between the panel and the PC or laptop, protecting against damage
from earth faults or stray voltages. This adaptor connects to the Fusion panel via a special 10 way
IDC connector and to the PC by USB cable (supplied with kit).

Firstly set the program mode DIL switches on the display PCB to ‘on’. Place the panel to be
programmed in the 'waiting for pc' mode via the engineers menu. Connect the pc or laptop and then
invoke the 'Read /write panel data' window.

COMMS PORT: - The dialogue box will offer the available connected adaptor port, “COMXX: USB
SERIAL PORT (COMMXX)-FTD1”.

Ensure the adaptor is connected to the panel and click the ‘connect’ button. The process window
should display, PCBs present and software versions found. Check that the expected information is
present then proceed to Read or Write.

‘Read’ takes data from the panel and loads it into the PC program.
‘Write’ takes data from the PC programming software and overwrites the config data in the panel.

IMPORTANT

Before you upload a panel make sure you have saved any data which you have created in the
program with an appropriate filename. More importantly make sure that you have saved any data in
the program prior to downloading the panel.

When you download to the panel the current panel parameters will be uploaded and you will be
offered a dialog box to save the file with an alternative name for safety backup purposes. It is
recommended you do this in case there is a problem with the new panel configuration.

Following a ‘Write’ to the panel config, it is necessary to ‘reboot’ the panel by powering off completely
and back on again to ensure all data etc is fully updated.

FIRMWARE FLASH UPGRADE

Flash programming software

The control panel operating software (firmware) can be updated. This may be required if new fea­tures or software corrections have been applied. The version of software currently loaded in the
panel is shown when the option is selected in the set panel options menu in the engineers’ options.
The version is shown in square brackets [1.00]. for each loop fitted to the panel 1.00 being the first
version of Fusion code.

Included on the Disk is a copy of a Fujitsu programming utility which enables the possibility to up­grade the firmware of the control panel.

Install the software by following the directions of the install program.

To reprogram a panel:-

NOTE: - Panel configuration parameters will be corrupted by the reprogramming process.

Make sure you have downloaded a copy of the panel Config data and saved it to disc as a
backup.

First to reprogram the main display PCB. Insert the connector from the download adaptor to the
connector at the right hand end of the main display circuit (TPCFSB17).

Connect to a serial port on your PC (COM1 to COM16). Switch 'on' the flash Programming switch
(Lowermost of the 7 way dil switch). Alternatively on Issue 3 PCB and below, select ‘Flash Program
Mode Enabled’ in Engineers menu.

Run the Fujitsu flash MCU programming software. When the window opens the following data must
be selected. Important this utility must be the FUJITSU FME_FR flash programming utility V4.0.2.1 or
above and ‘NOT’ the utility for programming the old Vector firmware.

TARGET MICROCONTROLLER - MB91F467C
PROGRAMMING BAUD RATE—19200
FILE TO PROGRAM FSB17#4-V111-b004:mhx (as issued by haes) . Click ON browse to select file.

Select com port in the box next to the connect button .
Click on the AUTOMATIC MODE button and at the same time press and release the CPU reset

switch on the target PCB. The software will be upgraded as indicated by ticks for each process and a
progress bar on the PC screen. When complete press the CPU reset button and the PCB should re­start. After all PCBs have been upgraded Remove the connector from the programming adapter and
switch the ‘flash’ switch off on the PCB.

To subsequently program the radial or loop cards. Select the required file. Note each PCB type has a
separate file. Denoted by the PCB reference at the beginning of the file name i.e FSB17 main card,
FSB11 loop card, FSB18 radial card etc. To Program the next PCB press the CPU reset on the de­sired card whilst clicking on the AUTOMATIC MODE button on the programming utility.

It may be necessary to recycle the flash mode switch in between the re-programming of each board,
to prevent the recently programmed board interrupting the process.

FIRMWARE FLASH UPGRADE CONT’D

To reprogram a panel:- Continued

Repeat the procedure for each PCB in turn press CPU reset at the end of each session the diagnos­tic LED on the PCB will flash when the card is operating following re– programming. Then press CPU
reset on the next PCB to be programmed and so on.

Panel will be programmed with latest software version, when finished, close down program and dis­connect leads etc,

Restore the panel to normal operation by switching off the 'flashprog' switch.
Then it is necessary to restore factory defaults in the eeprom memory to prevent erroneous data

caused by any parameter changes that may have occurred .This is done by holding down button 2
on the panel keypad during a restart of the main display PCB .i.e press CPU reset whilst holding but­ton 2. A menu will appear which allows you to select each board of the system in turn Make sure that
all boards fitted are initialized. Then re download the control panel from the back up file you made
before starting.

NOTE:-occasionally the download software may be updated and if new parameters are needed an
import facility will be provided to enable conversion of existing panel parameters to any new require­ments. Please check with supplier if in doubt.

During initialization you will be asked to confirm the number of boards (note for the board count and
FSB10 boards are not included in the count. The qty of remote panels will be reset to zero and any
power supply and device setting will be cleared.
