INSTALLATION

ESD PRECAUTION

GENERAL

MOUNTING THE CABINET

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.

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.

the control panel. The detection and sounder circuit cabling is classed as extra low voltage and must be segregated away from mains voltage.

• 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, dry and not subject to shock or vibration.

Damp, 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%.

Before mounting the cabinet remove the main PCB.

Remove the power supply module connecting wires from the main PCB, taking care to note where to reconnect them. The main PCB can then be carefully pulled off it’s mounting clips.

Secure the cabinet to the wall using the four indented holes in the back box. Ensure the box is mounted level and in a convenient location where it may be easily operated and serviced.

External cables should be glanded via preformed knockouts at the top and rear of the cabinet. Remove any knockouts and ensure the cabinet is clear of swarf etc prior to reﬁ tting the PCB. Always ensure that if a knockout is removed, the hole is ﬁ lled 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 ﬂ at 6mm broad bladed screwdriver.

Use of excessive force will damage the enclosure around the knockout.

OPERATING

Disable Mode is used to disable or isolate individual zone circuits or all sounder circuits, all auxiliary outputs and any delays to outputs.

To initialise Disable Mode ﬁ rstly activate the controls by turning the key switch or by entering the four digit code. Then press and hold the Disable Mode button (1) for 3 seconds.

After 3 seconds the panel will bleep and the General Disablement LED and Zone 1 Fault LED will pulse slowly, indicating that Zone 1 is in disable selection mode.

Pressing the Disable Mode button again will move disable selection mode to Zone 2 and the Zone 2 Fault LED will be pulsing instead. Subsequent presses will move the selection to Zones 3 - 32, dependant on the number of zones ﬁ tted to the panel. I.e up to zone 16 on a 16 zone, 24 on a 24 zone or 32 on a 32 zone.

After the last available zone the next press will move the selection mode to the sounder circuits, indicated by the Sounder Status LED and then to the Aux outputs, indicated by the Aux Output Status LED and ﬁ nally to the Delay LED. Pressing the button once more will move the selection back to Zone 1 again.

When the desired circuit, outputs or delays to be disabled is indicated by a slow pulsing LED, use the ENTER button to select it. Once selected the indicator LED will change to a rapid pulse. Pressing ENTER again will toggle the circuit between disabled and enabled. Then use Disable Mode button again to move to the next circuit. Any or all circuits, outputs or delays can be disabled simultaneously.

When all disablements have been set, press and hold the Disable Mode button for 3 seconds again. This will exit the disable selection mode and the panel will return to standby. All disabled circuits and the General Disablement will now be indicated by a steady LED.

To enable the circuits again, repeat the above process using the Disable Mode button to select the circuit and the ENTER button to remove the disablement.

Tip:

With the controls active, pressing the Disable Mode button brieﬂ y will reveal which circuits are disabled (as opposed to in test mode). This is useful if using Disable Mode and Test Mode at the same time.

In test mode the devices in the zone(s) in test, detectors and call points etc, can be activated and the panel will automatically reset, enabling the system to be tested by one person. It is possible to test head removal monitoring and to test the system with or without the sounders.

To initialise Test Mode, ﬁ rstly activate the controls by turning the key switch or by entering the four digit code. Then press and hold the Test Mode button (2) for 3 seconds.

After 3 seconds the panel will bleep and the Test Mode LED and Zone 1 Fault LED will pulse slowly, indicating that Zone 1 is in test selection mode. The Sounder Status LED will also be pulsing rapidly, this indicates that the test will be with sounders. (Test mode without sounders is explained below)

Pressing the Test Mode button again will move test selection mode to Zone 2 and the Zone 2 Fault LED will be pulsing instead. Subsequent presses will move the selection to Zones 3 - 32, dependant on the number of zones ﬁ tted to the panel.

After the last available zone the next press will move the selection mode to the sounder circuits, indicated by no Zone Fault LEDs ON. This position selects whether or not the sounders will ring during test. Pressing the button once more will move the selection back to zone 1 again.

When the desired zone to be tested is indicated by a slow pulsing LED, use the ENTER button to select it. Once selected the indicator LED will change to a rapid pulse. Pressing ENTER again will toggle the zone between in and out of test. Then use Test Mode button again to move to the next zone. Any or all zones can be in test mode simultaneously.

When at the sounder status position, use the ENTER button to toggle between testing with or without sounders. A rapid pulse = with sounders (default), a slow pulse = without sounders.

When all zones to be tested have been selected, press and hold the Test Mode button for 3 seconds again. This will exit the test selection mode. All zones in test and the Test Mode will now be indicated by a steady LED.

To take zones out of test mode, repeat the above process using the Test Mode button to select the zone and the ENTER button to change the status.

Test Mode With Sounders

Activation of a call point or detector - sounders will pulse twice, device is automatically reset. Removal of a detector - sounders will pulse once.

Test Mode Without Sounders

Activation of a call point or detector - panel buzzer and LED response only, device is automatically reset.

Tip:

With the controls active, pressing the Test Mode button brieﬂ y will reveal which circuits are in test mode (as opposed to disabled). This is useful if using Disable Mode and Test Mode at the same time.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS

If the panel has detected a fault on the system the General Fault LED will be illuminated and the internal fault buzzer will sound. Secondary LEDs will also be illuminated depending on the location of the fault.

Pressing and holding the ENTER button will reveal more detailed information about the loction and type of fault.

This function will not work if the panel is in a ﬁ re condition. If no faults exist pressing the ENTER button will have no effect.

This function is operational only when controls are not active.

OPERATING

FUNCTIONALITY DURING A SYSTEM FAULT

A system fault is indicated when a processor controlling a function in the panel has a watchdog time out or processor failure. In the event of a system fault the particular board affected may not be functional. The following indications may be observed.

Display Board

System Fault LED only continous and continous buzzer sound. Display board, TPCA10 is halted and no other indication or control is possible. Fault relay and fault output are activated. If a ﬁ re occurs alarm sounders and outputs will still function.

Main Board

System Fault LED continous and General Fault LED pulsing and continous buzzer sound. Main board is halted. Fault relay is activated.

Repeater Comms Board

System Fault LED continous and General Fault LED pulsing and Repeater Fault LED continous. The Comms Board TPCA05 is halted. Fault relay and output are active, and repeater panels will cease to function. Fire alarms can still be detected and controlled by the panel.

Power Supply Board

System Fault LED pulsing, General Fault LED pulsing, PSU Fault LED pulsing, continous buzzer sound (mutable) and fault relay activated. Mains or battery power will still operate the panel. Batteries will not be charging. Indications will remain until the fault is rectiﬁ ed and the panel is reset.

System Fault recovery

System Fault LED pulsing and General Fault LED pulsing along with a pulsed buzzer (fault tone) a system fault has occurred and the affected board has recovered. The indication will remain until the panel is reset.

If an alarm condition is present YOU MUST FOLLOW YOUR NORMAL FIRE DRILL PROCEDURES.

A responsible person should then:-

1.

Check the control panel to see which area or zone has caused the system to go into alarm. This will

be indicated by a pulsing red LED on the front of the control panel.

2.

Go to the area which has caused the alarm to check if a ﬁ re exists.

3.

Only when it is safe to do so should the alarms be silenced. Activate the controls by turning the key

switch or by entering the four digit code (see Activate Controls in the OPERATING section) and press

the (blue) SILENCE ALARMS button (ﬁ g 1). To sound the alarms again press the (red) RESOUND

button (ﬁ g 2).

4.

In the event of a false alarm look for the device that has caused the alarm. A detector will have a red

LED lit, or check to see if a call point glass is broken (if so replace the glass or call an engineer).

5.

When fully satisﬁ ed that there is no ﬁ re, return to the control panel and press the (green) RESET

button, (ﬁ g 3). The panel display should return to normal and only the green SUPPLY HEALTHY LED

should be lit on the control panel.

ﬁ g 1 ﬁ g 2

ﬁ g 3

If the system continues to false alarm, call an engineer

Fault Condition

If a buzzer is sounding in the control panel but the sounders or bells are not ringing, then there is either a

fault on the system, or zones / sounders have been disabled. CALL AN ENGINEER

The internal fault buzzer can be silenced by pressing MUTE BUZZER (button 3 on the keypad). DO

NOT RESET THE SYSTEM UNTIL AN ENGINEER HAS INVESTIGATED THE FAULT.
