Scope

This second issue of the installer’s manual, it covers the
installation instructions of the 24-zone system 800 fire
alarm panel with version 2 software enhancements. The
manual gives information on how to install the panel,
connect external circuits, power up and commission the
system. It also includes fault finding information and
technical data.

Safety

Associated documents

The following information is given in the interest of
personal safety and to prevent damage to installed
equipment and to ensure the system operates correctly.

The information symbol is accompanied with
important text.

This can be either a warning to prevent personal
injury or death, or a caution to prevent damage
to the system equipment.

General system description

The system 800 fire alarm panel is designed to meet the
requirements of EN54 Parts 2 and 4. It is suitable for
installation in small to medium size buildings in
accordance with the recommendations of BS5839:Part 1,
to provide an automatic fire detection and alarm.

The system 800 panel is installed and configured to
monitor devices such as detectors, manual call points,
single input/output transponder and sounder control
transponder units connected on a loop. Each device is
capable of being addressed individually and may be
assigned to one of 24 zones. The devices and zones in
the system can each be given a label for identification, so
that in an event condition the location is given on the
display with the appropriate event message.

The panel has connections for external sounder circuits to
raise an alarm in the protected buildings.

Notes to the installer

The installer should follow the general requirements of:

BS5839:Part 1, the code of practice relating to the fire



detection and alarm systems for buildings.

The relevant parts of the BS7671 Requirements for



Electrical Installation, Institute of Electrical Engineers
Wiring Regulations 16th edition.

Second fix installation

Notes

To prevent the possibility of damage or dirt degrading the
performance or appearance of the System products, the
installation of second fix items, such as the

module

, should be delayed until all major building work in

electronic

the area is complete.

The installer should ensure:

Cables recommended in the manual are used for



wiring the system 800.

Cable gland is used for the mains supply cable.



Unused knockouts on an enclosure that have been



removed are not left open.

The wires between the cable termination point and



terminals are as short and straight as possible.

The cables of the system 800 and other systems are



separated by at least 160mm, unless dedicated
conduit / ducting is used.

No part of the building structure is used for earthing.



The cable length between the Repeat LED unit and



the respective detector, where used, does not exceed
10m. This length must be included in the total cable
length of the loop.

The ends of the mains flexible conductors terminated



in the product are crimped, using sleeved or insulated
crimp terminals.

Each mains powered control and indicating equipment



is supplied via a dedicated 2-pole fused spur unit that
is fed from a switch or protection device at the local
mains supply distribution board.

Mains power to the control and indicating equipment



is not supplied from an

IT Power System

.

796688 (4188-657)_i2 _06/03

Earthing

Fixtures and fittings

The installer should acquire:

Site specific information from the interested parties



which must include details on the location of products
to be installed

The acquired information together with this manual



and the relevant standards should be used to assist
the work.

All earth connection points must be clean to provide good
electrical conductivity.

All earth leads and fittings provided must be installed



The loop cable screen must be continued through



each system device.

It is the installer’s responsibility to provide:

Adequate fixtures and fittings for the type of



construction surface onto which a product is to be
installed

As an aid to this decision, the weight and overall size



of each full assembly together with implications on
cable entries and routing should be taken into
consideration.

These procedures assume that the installer
provides cable glands, steel BESA boxes and
related items.

dialer in the event of a fire condition in
the system. The panel can be
configured to output either a voltage free
signal or a 24V output to trigger the
external equipment.

The system alarm sounders can be configured to operate
from the on board power supply or an external power
supply, by setting a link on the electronic module.

The panel is able to monitor the condition of the battery
and mains supply of the external power supply unit via
clean contacts. A closed clean contact at the power
supply equipment is a fault signal to the control panel.

On making changes to the panel set up the modified
entries must be saved to the EEPROM located inside the
panel. To allow the changed data to be saved to the
EEPROM, a hardware link must first be configured.

A trained engineer must carry out any changes
to the system configuration.
