ORION-EX V2
Conventional Fire Detection & Extinguishing Panel
INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ORION-EX Conventional Fire Detection and Extinguishing Panel is designed and manufactured to comply with
EN54-2, EN54-4 and EN12094-1 standards.
Advanced configuration solutions include the following: programmable pre-release and extinguishing times, electro valve and
flow pressure switch status indications; start and abort remote activation; four fire detection zones causing different effects.
Finally all inputs are fully monitored for both Fire, Activation and Fault Conditions.
MAIN FEATURES
● 4 Fire Detection Zones: 2 crossed Zones and 1 individual Zone linked with automatic extinguishing cycle. One
dedicated Zone only for fire detection which doesn’t start automatic extinguishing cycle
● Up to 32 conventional devices (smoke and/or heat detectors and call-points) per zone
● Active End of Line for Zone wiring monitoring (10uF/50V bipolar capacitor)
● Programmable Pre-Release and Extinguishing times
● Monitored inputs for Manual Extinguishing Cycle Activation and Remote Abort
● Electrovalve solenoid and Weight/Flow/Pressure Switch Status monitoring
● One man test capability
● Supervised auxiliary 24-volt supply output
● 3 Supervised/monitored output circuits
● 1 Remote reset input
● 2 Relay outputs for fire and fault status indication
● Dedicated repeater panel and analogue loop interface
● Additional output via MPX-REL & MPX-SNDR modules
● Fully EN54-2, EN54-4 and EN12094-1 compliant.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
● This equipment must only be installed and maintained by a suitably qualified and technically competent person.
● This equipment must have an Earth Connection.
● A basic knowledge and training in the installation of Fire and Extinguish Detection systems is assumed.
● The Fire Detection system should be designed by a suitably qualified person with reference to the Local
Regulations and Guidance from the fire Officer where applicable.

MECHANICAL DATA
CABLE TYPES
System wiring should be installed in accordance with National Standards and wiring regulations.
To protect against electrical interference, we recommend the use of screened cables throughout the system. Separate
cables should be used for sounder and detection circuits, the use of multi-core cables to carry sounder circuits and detector
circuits is not recommended. The cable screen termination should only be connected to panel Earth points. The maximum
cross section of cables to use is 2.5mm, otherwise terminals in the control panel could be damaged.
Mains wiring should be 3 core 1mm² to 2.5mm² fed from an isolating circuit breaker of 6A. This should be secure from
unauthorized operation and be marked “Fire Alarm Do Not Switch Off”. The mains supply must be exclusive to the fire panel.
CONNECTING THE PANEL
Before connecting zones or sounder cables, power up the control panel with the Active EOL connected to the zone inputs
and the EOL resistors for the sounder/output lines connected. Then connect mains and battery power; there should be no
fault indications. The mains supply should be routed away from the other cables and enter the control panel adjacent to the
mains terminal block.
Depending on panel load and standby requirements, two 12-volt VLRA batteries of capacity up to 7Ah may be fitted in the
housing. The batteries should be wired in series (24V) using the supplied link. Take care not to short circuit the battery
terminals.
Check zones, remote input and outputs wiring for continuity. Short or open circuit indications must be rectified before
connecting to the control panel. All cable testing must be carried out with a Multimeter… NEVER use a Megger when
devices are connected.
Transfer EOL components to the last device on detection zones and sounder/output circuits and connect the cables to their
respective terminals in the control panel. Please refer to info available in next page.

PANEL STATUS INDICATORS & CONTROLS
STATUS
FIRE – LED used to indicate any FIRE ALARM condition present on panel.
FAULT – LED used to indicate any Fault condition present on panel. If there is a communication Fault between ORION-EX
and an ORION MINI REP or a Sounder / Relay module, this LED will flash at a rate of once per second.
DISABLED – Disabled Status LED used to indicate that the panel has features that have been disabled.
TEST – This LED is active whenever panel is in TEST MODE, activated in Engineering Mode Access Level 3 only.
SUPPLY - Multi function indicator used to indicate the presence of supply. When in Access Level 1 this
LED is permanently lit. If in Access Level 2 (USER CODE 2244) this LED will flash at a rate of once per second.
If in Access Level 3 mode (ENGINEERING CODE 4321) this LED will flash faster at a rate of once every 0,5 seconds.
SYSTEM FAULT – This LED will be lit whenever there is a processor failure or corruption of the panel firmware.

FAULTS
SUPPLY FAULT – This LED will be ON whenever the Main Supply has been removed or has dropped below 20 Volts.
BATTERY FAULT – Indicates that there is low voltage level on the batteries or the battery charger circuit has failed.
SOUNDER FAULT – If there is a conventional sounder circuit fault, the general fault LED will be lit and Sounders LED in the
Faults section will be flashing.
EARTH FAULT – When this indicator is ON, there is leakage current flowing between the Earth connection/wiring and any
other wire connected to the panel.
ZONES & INPUTS
Individual zone and monitored input indicators are provided for both FIRE/ALARM, EXTINGUISH and FAULT conditions. If
any of these inputs is disabled, then its Fault LED will also be used to indicate the disablement of that particular zone/ input.
The zone/ input Disabled LED will be ON along with the associated disabled status LED. Flashing Fault LED along with
general Fault LED indicates fault on that zone.
Zone 3 LEDs provides status indication for both Z3F (for fire detection) and Z3X (for extinguishing and fire detection). Both
Z3F and Z3X share the same status indicators in conjunction.
CONTROL KEYS
These four keys can have more than one function. They are numbered to indicate that they are used to enter digits from 1 to
4 for code entry.
BUZZER SILENCE (1) – At Access Level 1 this button is used to silence the panel's internal buzzer. At Access Level 2 and
3 used to confirm/accept changes in programming. Buzzer must be always silenced before entering the access code to other
levels.
RESET (2) – Press this button to reset the panel at Access Level 2 or 3.
LAMP TEST (3) – Press this button at Access Level 1 or 2 to test all LED indicators and the panel's internal buzzer. Release
when test is finished. At Access Level 3, press this button to enter in “one man” test mode.
SOUNDERS (4) – Press once to activate/silence sounders in Level 2. If sounders are active, for example, during a FIRE
condition or in the event of an Evacuation action, pressing this button will stop the sounders. Auxiliary Relays are not
affected by this action. When selected the disablements in Level 2, this button is used to select the desired disablement. In
Access Level 3, combined with the delay activation button, it is used to select the desired delay.
