ABOUT THIS PANEL

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Quality, reliability, ease of use and feature rich are attributes that are consistent across the entire range of

Haes ﬁ re alarm control panels. The Haes Excel-EN encompasses all of these attributes to provide the ﬁ re

alarm engineer’s panel of choice.

The Excel-EN panel is available from 2 to 12 Conventional and/or Twin Wire (sav-wire) zones.

For the ﬁ re alarm engineer, the Excel-EN has been designed to minimise labour costs by providing ample

room for tasks such as wiring and changing batteries. Activation is via key switch or access code, which

means you should always be able to work on the panel and the one man walk tests will help reduce the

cost of maintaining the ﬁ re alarm system.

Simplicity is one of the most important aspects when considering the end user of a ﬁ re alarm panel. The

colour coded buttons and the 3 step silence functionality gives non-technical people the conﬁ dence to

correctly manage their ﬁ re alarm system.

All inputs and outputs are fully programmable and there are options to have delays to the outputs. The

programming features of the Excel-EN also include 3 different modes to help reduce false alarms. Local

ﬁ re authorities are demanding this type of functionality to reduce unwanted callouts from alarm receiving

centres

As standard, all Excel-EN panels provide two monitored sounder circuits, Fire & Fault VFCO relays, Fire &

Fault switched negative outputs, class change and an alert input.

A fully functional repeater panel is available via a plug in comms PCB.

Excel-EN panels support a large range of conventional detectors including, Apollo, Hochiki & Nittan.

The panels are supplied with a 3.0 amp internal power supply module. This module complies with the

requirements of EN54-4 : 1988 and provides temperature compensated battery management charging.

Excel-EN panels are approved to European standards EN54-2 & 4, Fire Detection and Alarm Systems –

Control & Indicating Equipment.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

SYSTEM DESIGN & PLANNING - A few handy tips

What is a detection zone?

In order to direct those responding to a ﬁ re alarm signal, particularly the ﬁ re service, to the area of a ﬁ re, all buildings, other than very small buildings, need to be divided into detection zones. Detection zones need to be small enough for a ﬁ re to be located quickly.

• If the total ﬂ oor area of the building is greater than 300m2, each zone should be restricted to a single storey

• If the total ﬂ oor area of the building is less than 300m2 a zone may cover more than a single storey

• For voids above or below the ﬂ oor area of a room, these may be included within the same zone of the room, provided that the void and the room constitute a single ﬁ re compartment

• The ﬂ oor area of a single zone should not exceed 2000m2.

Detectors

• A person searching a zone for a ﬁ re in a non- addressable ﬁ re system should not have to travel more than 60m to identify the source of a ﬁ re

• The sensing element of a smoke detection device should not be less than 25mm and not more than 600mm below ceiling

• The sensing element of a heat detector should not be less than 25mm and not more than 150mm below ceiling

• When mounted on a ﬂ at ceiling, smoke detection devices have an individual coverage of 7.5m radius. However these radii must overlap to ensure there are no ‘blind spots’. Therefore individual coverage can be represented by a square measuring 10.6m x 10.6m giving an actual coverage of 112m2 per device

• When mounted on a ﬂ at ceiling, heat detection devices have an individual coverage of 5.3m radius. However these radii must overlap to ensure there are no ‘blind spots’. Therefore individual coverage can be represented by a square measuring 7.5m x 7.5m giving an actual coverage of 56.3m2 per device.

Call Points

• A person should not have to travel more than 45m along an escape route to reach a Manual Call Point (25m if disabled person to operate, or rapid ﬁ re development is likely). Manual Call Points should be sited at all stair wells and exits from the building.

• The frangible element of the manual call point should be positioned 1.4m (+/- 200mm) from the ﬂ oor level. (Unless a wheelchair user is likely to be the ﬁ rst person to raise the alarm).

Sounders

• Sounder device cabling should be arranged so that in the event of a fault, at least one sounder will remain operational during a ﬁ re condition.

• The minimum sound level should be 65dB(A) or 5dB(A) above a background noise which is louder than 60dB(A) (if lasting more than 30 seconds) and at a frequency of between 500Hz and 1000Hz. The maximum sound level should not be greater than 120dB(A) at any normally accessible point. This may be reduced to 60dB(A) in stairways, enclosures up to 60m2 and speciﬁ c points of limited extent.

• For areas where people are sleeping, sounder devices should produce a minimum 75dB(A) at the bed-head with all doors shut. In buildings providing sleeping accomodation for a signiﬁ cant number of people, all bedrooms should have both audible and visual alarms.

This guide is intended as an aid to designers and installers of ﬁ re detection systems. It is NOT to be used as a substitute to BS5839 which should be read in full.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

CABLE TYPES & LIMITATIONS

CABLING

CABLE LENGTHS

MAINS PROVISION

Beacons

• Visual alarms such as beacons, should always be mounted at a minimum height of 2.1m from ﬂ oor level.

General

• Fire Alarm Control Panels should be installed at a location appropriate for staff and ﬁ re ﬁ ghters

• All mains supply isolators must be double pole and suitably marked

• All joints to be ﬁ re resisting, junction boxes to be labelled ‘FIRE ALARM’.

• All cables to be ﬁ re resisting with a minimum cross-sectional area of 1mm

2.

• Cable using trunking as a means of containment must be clipped using ﬁ re resistant supports WITHIN THE TRUNKING.

• Zone charts should be ﬁ tted in all appropriate locations (adjacent to control equipment and repeaters).

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, NoBurn™ 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.

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 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 earthing terminal provided.

The maximum recommended cable length for a zone or sounder circuit is 1Km. This, however, is highly dependant on the number and type of devices connected.

If in doubt, cable load and resistance calculations should be undetaken to ensure devices are working within speciﬁ ed limits.

The mains supply to the ﬁ re 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’.

The mains supply must be exclusive to the ﬁ re panel.

As an alternative to a switched fused spur, an appropriately fused double pole isolating device may be

used providing it meets the appropriate national wiring regulations.

All system wiring should be installed to meet BS5839 Pt 1 : 2002 and BS7671 (Wiring Regulations). Other national standards of installation should be used where applicable.

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.

INSTALLATION

CONNECTING THE BATTERIES

BATTERY CHARGING VOLTAGE CHECKS

Batteries of even very small capacity are capable of delivering very high currents which can cause ﬁ re or injury, therefore battery connections should be done with caution.

The panel is supplied with battery leads already connected to the battery terminals on the main PCB. These leads are coloured red for +ve and black for -ve.

2 x 12v batteries should be connected in series using the white jumper lead provided. See diagram.

To optimise the service life of the batteries, the battery charger output voltage varies with temperature.

N.B. In the event of mains failure, the battery charger circuit will protect the batteries from full discharge by disconnecting them when they reach below 19v. When the mains supply is restored the batteries will be automatically reconnected.

NOTE:

If the mains is connected before the batteries, the panel will show a Power Supply fault for up to 1 minute until the monitoring cylce has ﬁ nished polling. This is normal. If the fault doesn’t clear after 1 minute, check connections.

The battery charging voltage is factory calibrated to 27.3vdc +/- 0.2v @ 20oC. This should not normally require adjustment. Where battery problems are experienced, the following information should be considered.

a) If a battery is disconnected from the charger, no voltage will appear on the output leads or terminals,

due to intelligent battery controls.

b) Check the power supply voltage at the 28v & 0v supply output terminals. With the batteries

disconnected the voltage should be 27.6vdc +/- 0.2v @ between 11oC - 40oC.

c) To test the batteries, turn off the mains and see if the system will run on the batteries. Check the

battery voltage, should be 26.8v for a good battery or 22v for a ﬂ at battery.

d) The power supply voltage can be adjusted using the potentiometer on the power supply module (see

page 9), checking at the 28v & 0v output terminals with a calibrated volt meter. Batteries should be disconnected and the Access Level 3 DIL switch should be set to ‘ON’ (see page 20), which will over ride the temperature compensation controls. Carefully adjust the voltage to 27.6vdc +/- 0.2v. When completed, switch off Access Level 3 DIL switch and re-connect the batteries.

e) When the panel is re-charging a low battery, it should be possible to see the voltage across the

batteries increase gradually. If this is not occurring, the batteries or the panel may be faulty.

SETUP & PROGRAMMING

NETWORK PANELS SETUP

The system can support up to 8 networked control panels, 1 x Master and up to 7 x Slaves.

Comms PCB

To run a network, a Comms PCB (TPCA05) must be ﬁ tted to each control panel. Any Excel-EN or Excel-32 panel from 2 to 32 zones with software version 4.0 and above may be used.

The Comms PCB ﬁ ts into the control panel on top of the main circuit board where the ribbon cable from the display board comms is normally plugged.

To ﬁ t the Comms PCB, power down the panel, un-plug the display board ribbon cable from the main circuit board and plug the Comms PCB into the socket instead.

A socket is provided on the top of the Comms PCB to re-connect the display board ribbon cable.

Each panel to be included in the network is deﬁ ned by setting a switch on the main PCB. In the case of the Excel-EN this is switch 7 on the 7 way DIL switch. OFF = Stand Alone mode, ON = Network/Repeater mode.

With this switch in the ON position the panel will automatically recognise & operate the Comms PCB (TPCA05).

SETUP & PROGRAMMING

Programming

The Master panel will need to be programmed for the number of network panels on the system. See panel wide programming settings, code 2-1-2-3, option 10, (Set Number of Network Slave Panels on System).

Addressing

Each panel needs to have a unique address. The addressing is done using the 4 DIL switches on each of the Comms PCBs using binary code values, see diagram below.

The addresses should be set in sequence from 1 - 8, ﬁ rst slave panel = address 01, second slave panel = address 02 etc.

The Master panel is deﬁ ned by being address 00 (all switches off).

Network slave panels and/or repeater panels are designed to be wired in a fault tolerant (fail safe) loop conﬁ guration, from comms A to B and back to the Master panel again (see drawing below). This enables the network to still function if there is a break in the cables.

If replacing an older system where the existing cabling cannot be conﬁ gured in a loop as above, it is possible to change the panel settings to legacy, radial circuit comms monitoring.

See panel wide programming settings, code 2-1-2-3, option 6, (Change Network/Repeater Comms Monitoring Type).

SETUP & PROGRAMMING

TWIN WIRE MODE

What is Twin Wire?

Twin Wire is what is often referred to as sav wire. The technology enables sounders and beacons to be connected to the same circuit as the detectors and call points. This can result in greatly reduced installation time and cost.

How does it work?

In Twin Wire conﬁ guration the ﬁ re zone circuits reverse polarity in alarm condition to power the sounders and beacons. For this reason the sounders and beacons need to be wired in opposite polarity to the detectors and call points, i.e. zone positive wire connects to detector base and call point positive terminals but sounder and beacon negative terminals.

To set Twin Wire mode for zones 1-4 on the main circuit board, move switches 1-4 on the 7 way DIL switch located on the main PCB to the ‘ON’ position.

Each zone can be independantly set to Twin Wire, switch 1 relating to zone 1 etc.

To set Twin Wire mode for zones A-D on the zone extension circuit boards, move switches A-D on the 4 way DIL switch located on the zone card to the ‘ON’ position.

Each zone can be independantly set to Twin Wire, switch A relating to zone A etc.

SETUP & PROGRAMMING

This setting conﬁ gures the last zone on the panel, (i.e. zone 2 on a 2 zone, zone 4 on a 4 zone, zone 6 on a 6 zone, zone 8 on an 8 zone and zone 12 on a 12 zone), to be used for interconnection from other control panels.

It is possible, in the Level 3 engineering programming, to setup any zone for this function, however, this is simply a shortcut method.

The function is enabled by setting switch 5 on the 7 way DIL switch located on the main PCB to the ‘ON’ position.

With switch 5 in the ‘ON’ position, the last zone becomes;

1.

Non latching &

2.

Non aux operating.

Note:

If the interface zone is also set to Twin Wire mode and sounders are connected to the zone circuit, the following sounder operation will apply:

A ﬁ re (470Ω) signal to the interface zone will NOT operate the sounders connected to that Twin Wire circuit. All other conventional (SNDR1 & SNDR2) and Twin Wire zone sounders will operate as normal.

A ﬁ re (470Ω) signal to any other zone will operate ALL conventional (SNDR1 & SNDR2) and Twin Wire sounder circuits, including the sounders connected to the interface zone, as normal.

To access Level 3 options, ﬁ rst set switch 6 on the 7 way DIL switch located on the main PCB to the ‘ON’ position. Then activate the controls by turning the key switch or by entering the four digit code (see Activate Controls in the OPERATING section).

Once the controls are active, the ‘Access Level’ indicator will pulse to signify that Level 3 access is active.

Programming throughout the panel is carried out in a sequence where the ﬁ re LEDs indicate the options to set and the fault LEDs indicate the status of these settings.

Generally button 1 is used to scroll the indications (button 3 can also be used to scroll backwards). Pressing and holding button 1 for 3 seconds at any time will exit the programming mode completely.

N.B. The panel will automatically save settings & drop out of programming modes if left idle for more than approximately 30 seconds.

It is possible to review the settings within a programming mode without changing them. Steady Fire LEDs indicate review mode. To edit a setting ﬁ rst use button 1 to select the required option, pressing ENTER enables editing of the option. Flashing ﬁ re LEDs indicates edit mode and button 2 is used to change the setting.

Pressing ENTER again will exit ‘edit’ mode back to ‘review’ mode.

Some programming modes are denoted with (EN54!). Where this symbol appears EN54 compliance may be affected by this setting.

Zone Function Settings

There are 8 functional settings available for each zone. These are as follows:

Fire latching

Normally a zone latches a ﬁ re input signal. This setting allows the panel to clear automatically when a ﬁ re signal is removed. This is useful for interfacing purposes.

Short circuit as alarm (EN54!)

For Older non EN54 or BS5839 compliant systems. This allows a short circuit to generate a ﬁ re condition rather than a fault.

Intrinsically safe operation

This option changes the zone alarm and short circuit thresholds to allow for an MTL 5061 type intrinsically safe barrier to be used in the circuit.

Silent mode

This setting provides a visual & audible alarm at the panel with no local sounder circuit operation.

Priority alarm (EN54!)

Normally a 220R call point will override delays or dependency alarms. This option allows turning off the priority alarm feature.

Detector removal (EN54!)

The detector removal monitoring can be turned off. For use with older non compliant detectors.

Detector removal type

Schottky diode or Zener diode type detector bases for conventional zones (Does not apply to Twin wire circuits). The default operation is for shottky diode bases but can be changed for use with older Hochiki liveline bases or similar.

Gate valve & ﬁ re pump indications

Gate valve and ﬁ re pump status indication zones are conﬁ gured in program option 8. The normal condition for this LED is OFF. Setting the amber fault LED to ON in this option will provide the Gate Valve indication feature, setting the amber fault LED to PULSING in this option will provide the Fire Pump Running functionality.

Gate Valve Indication

Fire Pump Status Monitoring

The gate valve open position (i.e ready to allow water to pass through the valve in the event of ﬁ re) is the normal default valve position and can be indicated on the panel with the red ﬁ re LED. If the gate valve is closed, the zone fault LED is illuminated. The zone will operate as follows:

Gate valve open, via 3K9 resistor;

• Zone ﬁ re LED continuously on

• General Fire LED off

• Internal buzzer will not operate

• Fire routing and other ﬁ re outputs will not operate

• Alarm sounder circuits will not operate

• The indication is non latching

Gate valve closed, via 470 resistor;

The panel will operate as per open or short circuit fault except that;

• General Fault LED remains off

• Fault output routing will not operate

Valve out of service, via 4K7 EOL only;

This equates to a quiescent condition and the zone will give no indication.

Fire pump status monitoring requires 2 zones to monitor one pump. The zones are conﬁ gured as follows:

ZONE A - Set to Gate Valve Indication

The ﬁ rst zone will monitor the pump power supply healthy / fault condition.

Pump Healthy;

• Zone ﬁ re LED on, exactly the same as the valve open signal above

Pump Power Supply Fault:

• Zone fault LED on, exactly the same as the valve closed signal above

SETUP & PROGRAMMING

DEPENDENCY MODES (FALSE ALARM MANAGEMENT)

Dependency modes are features described in EN54-2 for the processing of conﬁ rmation alarms. It is a requirement by some monitoring stations and local ﬁ re authoities in order to reduce the possibility of false alarms.

The panel has 3 dependency mode options, A, B & C. Only one type can be applied to the panel but any or all zones can be independently set for dependency mode.

Dependency mode, if assigned to a zone, is set to type A by default.

Dependency ‘A’ will apply the following sequence:

1.

The ﬁ rst detector alarm is inhibited.

2.

The panel resets and re-checks the inhibited zone within 15-30 seconds.

3.

If an alarm is detected then the panel activates a full ﬁ re condition.

4.

If no alarm is detected, the panel stays in an alert condition for 30 minutes. Any new alarm from

the same zone within this time activates a full ﬁ re condition.

5.

After 30 minutes or if RESET, the panel reverts to step 1.

Note: 220Ω ‘Evacuate’ call points should be used on such zones to provide an instant un-delayed alarm. A 470Ω call point will be included in the dependency delay sequence.

Dependency ‘B’ will apply the following sequence:

1.

The ﬁ rst detector alarm will indicate at the control panel but not activate the sounders.

2.

The panel resets and re-checks the inhibited zone within 1 - 4 minutes (programmable, see code

2-1-3-4)

1

.

3.

If an alarm is detected then the panel activates a full ﬁ re condition.

4.

If no alarm is detected, the panel stays in an alert condition for 5 - 30 minutes (programmable,

see code 2-1-3-4)

2

. Any new alarm from the same or a different zone within this time activates a

full ﬁ re condition.

5.

After the time set above or if RESET, the panel reverts to step 1.

Note: 220Ω ‘Evacuate’ call points should be used on such zones to provide an instant un-delayed alarm. A 470Ω call point will be included in the dependency delay sequence.

Dependency ‘C’ will apply the following sequence:

1.

The ﬁ rst detector or 470Ω call point alarm will indicate at the control panel but not activate the

sounders.

2.

The panel will not activate a full ﬁ re condition unless a second detector or 470Ω call point is

activated in the same or any other zone.

Note: A 220Ω ‘Evacuate’ call point can be used on such zones to provide an instant un-delayed alarm.

Input Function Settings

The panel has two inputs, located on the main circuit board, Class Change (CC) and Alert (PUL). Switching a negative voltage into these inputs will cause the alarm sounders to operate. The Class Change input (CC) will cause the alarms to sound continously and the Alert input (PUL) will cause the alarms to pulse.

Either or both of these inputs can be programmed to have a different function.

The available functions are:

• Class Change (continous sounder operation).

• Alert (pulsing sounder operation).

• Evacuate (a latching input which activates all the alarms and shows a general ﬁ re indication on the panel).

• Silence (for remote silence alarms control).

• Reset (for remote reset control).

• Fire Zone 12 (a non latching input which indicates zone 12 ﬁ re LED).

• Fault Zone 12 (a non latching input which indicates zone 12 fault LED).

To change the default function of the inputs, enter the above code and press ENTER. The zone 1 ﬁ re LED will illuminate. This indicates setting the function of the CC input. Use button 1 to move to zone 2 ﬁ re LED for setting the function of the PUL input and then back to zone 1 again.

Output Programmability & Miscellaneous

All of the relays & outputs on the control panel’s main circuit board (TPC-A01) have default functions, i.e. operate on ﬁ re or fault. The function for each of these outputs, however, can be changed. The outputs can also be programmed to have different responses for selected zones.

Before any programming can be applied to the main circuit board outputs, they must ﬁ rst be made programmable using this mode.

Mode 4-1-4-2 also has 2 other miscellaneous functions, these are:

Set Fault Latching - This sets the latching of all faults on the panel. A useful tool for capturing any random or intermittent faults.

Invert Fault Output - The switched -ve fault output on the main circuit board usually appears when a fault is present. This can be inverted so that the output is constant and dissapears when a fault occurs, for fail safe operation.

To set either of the two miscellaneous options above or to make outputs programmable, enter the above code and press ENTER.

The ﬁ re zone 1 LED will now pulse to indicate the setting of attribute 1 (fault latching).

Use button 1 to scroll to the attribute that requires setting, inidicated by a pulsing ﬁ re LED 1 - 6 as per table below.

System Diagnostics Mode

System faults can occur if a PCB in the control panel or one of the repeater panels stops working. This may be due to a fault condition, loss of power, software lockup or memory checksum error.

A system fault can also occur if the internal PCB conﬁ guration or number of repeater panels has not been correctly set up in the panel wide programming options (2-1-2-3).

If the fault originates from the control panel’s main PCB then no further interrogation is possible and the circuit board should be restored or replaced urgently.

The above code has been provided as a quick diagnosis tool to show which additional PCBs, repeater or network slave panels the control panel thinks it should have according to the programming set up, Vs, the actual PCBs and repeater/network panels it can see via it’s internal monitoring capacity.

Enter the above code and press ENTER. The control panel will illuminate LEDs to show the set up. The red, ﬁ re LEDs indicate the conﬁ guration setting. The amber, fault LEDs indicate the presence of the PCBs, repeaters or network slave panels which the control panel thinks it should have according to the programming set up.

See table below.

The LEDs will display for 10 seconds and then the panel will automatically exit the diagnosis mode. Pressing button 2 will reveal the origin of a system fault indication.

Note: After power up, the system should be allowed to initialise for 2 - 3 minutes before using this code otherwise false indications could occur. If in doubt, re-enter the code a second time to check.

Any differences shown here can then be investigated and corrected either by restoring or replacing PCBs or correcting the conﬁ guration settings in the panel wide settings mode 2-1-2-3. Pressing button 1 will show the repeater panel status’s, pressing button 1 again will show the status of the network slave panels.

SETUP & PROGRAMMING

REPEATER PANEL SETUP & PROGRAMMING

The panel can support up to 8, fully functional repeater panels on the network which can be either the 12 way repeater panels or Remote Display Units or a combination of both. N.B. The 12 way repeater panel will only display the ﬁ rst 12 zones of any network system.

Repeater Comms PCB

To run repeaters, a Comms PCB (TPCA05) must be ﬁ tted to the control panel. The repeater panels are supplied with the comms board ﬁ tted.

The Comms PCB ﬁ ts into the control panel on top of the main circuit board where the ribbon cable from the display board is normally plugged.

To ﬁ t the Comms PCB, power down the panel, un-plug the display board ribbon cable from the main circuit board and plug the Comms PCB into the socket instead.

A socket is provided on the top of the Comms PCB to re-connect the display board ribbon cable.

Once the Comms PCB has been ﬁ tted, switch 7 on the 7 way DIL switch located on the main circuit board should be switched to the ON position.

With this switch in the ON position the panel will automatically recognise & operate the Comms PCB (TPCA05).

Next, the panel will need to be programmed for the number of repeater panels on the system. See panel wide settings 2-1-2-3 option 2 (Set Number of Repeater Panels on System).

Addressing

Each repeater panel needs to have a seperate address. The addressing is done using the 4 DIL switches on each of the Comms PCBs using binary code values, see diagram below.

The address should be set in sequence from 1 - 8, ﬁ rst repeater address 01, next repeater address 02 etc. The control panel should always be address 00 (all switches off).

SETUP & PROGRAMMING

Wiring

The repeater panels are designed to be wired in a fault tolerant (fail safe) loop conﬁ guration, from comms A to B and back to the main panel again (see diagram). This enables repeater panels to still work if there is a break in the cables.

If replacing an older system where the existing cabling cannot be conﬁ gured in a loop as shown, it is possible to change the panel back to radial circuit comms monitoring. See panel wide settings 2-12-3 option 6 (Repeater Comms Monitoring Type).

Programming Repeater Panels

Programming of all the repeater panels is done from the main control panel.

The repeater panels have 2 inputs located on the main circuit board, Class Change (CC) and Alert (PUL). Switching a negative voltage into these inputs will cause the alarm sounders to operate. The Class Change input (CC) will cause the alarms to sound continously and the Alert input (PUL) will cause the alarms to pulse.

There are also 6 switch -ve outputs located on the Comms PCB. By default o/p 1 is set to activate on common ﬁ re and o/p 2 is set to activate for common fault.

There are 4 programming options available for the inputs and outputs in the repeater panels.

• Outputs 1 - 6 activate on common ﬁ re

• Outputs 1 - 6 activate zonally for zones 1 - 6

• Outputs 1 - 6 activate zonally for zones 7 - 12

• Change inputs CC & PUL to power supply fault inputs.

It is also possible in this programming mode to disable the controls on repeater panels, making them passive instead of active and to disable the battery monitoring on the repeater panel if no battery backup is required.

Enter the above code and press ENTER. The zone 1 ﬁ re LED will light. This indicates which repeater panel is to be programmed 1 - 8. Use button 1 to move the ﬁ re zone LED to the required repeater.

With the required repeater for editing LED lit, press the ENTER button to enter ‘editing mode’. The ﬁ re zone 1 LED will now pulse to indicate setting of attribute 1 (outputs 1 - 6 common ﬁ re) for that repeater.

Use button 1 to scroll to the attribute that requires editing, inidicated by a pulsing ﬁ re LED 1 - 7 as per table below. Now use button 2 to change the setting indicated by the amber, fault LEDs, ON or OFF. Then use button 1 again to move to the next attribute if required. See repeater instruction manual for further

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 - 12, dependant on the number of zones ﬁ tted to the panel. I.e up to zone 4 on a 4 zone, 6 on a 6 zone, 8 on a 8 zone etc.

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.

OPERATING

Test Mode is used when testing the ﬁ re alarm system. 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 - 12, dependant on the number of zones ﬁ tted to the panel. I.e up to zone 4 on a 4 zone, 6 on a 6 zone, 8 on a 8 zone etc..

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.

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 TPCA03 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 or zone extender boards

System Fault LED continous and General Fault LED pulsing and continous buzzer sound. Main board, or extender card if ﬁ tted are halted. Fault relay is activated. Alarms may be activated on the unaffected board.

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.

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.

SERVICE & MAINTENANCE

Your Fire Alarm System is working 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The detectors and control & indicating panel are operating continuously and the ﬁ re alarm circuits are constantly monitored.

Legislation such as the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and other legislation protecting both employees and the public require premises operators to conform with standards for Fire Alarm Systems.

It is a requirement of BS 5839 Part 1 that the system is subject to periodic inspection and servicing so that faults are identiﬁ ed, preventive measures can be taken to ensure the continued reliability of the system, false alarm problems are identiﬁ ed and suitably addressed, and the user is made aware of any changes to the building that affect the protection afforded by the system.

The inspection and servicing recommendations in this clause should be carried out by a competent person. A ‘Competent Person’ is a person or ﬁ re alarm servicing organisation with specialist knowledge of ﬁ re detection and ﬁ re alarm systems, including knowledge of the causes of false alarms, sufﬁ cient information regarding the system, and adequate access to spares.

The period between successive inspection and servicing visits should be based upon a risk assessment, taking into account the type of system installed, the environment in which it operates and other factors that may affect the long term operation of the system. The recommended period between successive inspection and servicing visits should not exceed six months. If this recommendation is not implemented, it should be considered that the system is no longer compliant with this part of BS 5839

THE NEED FOR MAINTENANCE

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE & TESTING

DUTIES OF THE RESPONSIBLE PERSON

The system user needs to appoint a single, named member of the premises management to supervise all matters pertaining to the ﬁ re detection and ﬁ re alarm system. The role of this person is to ensure that the system is tested and maintained in accordance with the recommendations of BS 5839 Part 1, that appropriate records are kept and that relevant occupants in the protected premises are aware of their roles and responsibilities in connection with the ﬁ re detection and ﬁ re alarm system.

This person also needs to ensure that necessary steps are taken to avoid situations that are detrimental to the standard of protection afforded by the system and to ensure that the level of false alarms is minimized.

DAILY

The ‘Responsible Person’ should check the control panel to make sure no faults or pre-alarm conditions are indicated and that the green ‘Supply Healthy’ lamp is lit.

WEEKLY

The Fire Alarm System should be tested on a weekly basis as recommended in BS5839 Part 1 clause 44.2.

Every week a manual call point should be operated during normal working hours. The weekly test should be carried out at approximately the same time each week. Instructions to the occupants should be that they report any instance of poor audibility of the ﬁ re alarm signal.

A different manual call point should be used at the time of every weekly test so that all manual call points in the building are tested in rotation over a prolonged period.

The result of the weekly test and the identity or location of the manual call point used should be recorded in the system log book.

The following section is a summary of the requirements in BS5839 Part 1

For comprehensive information a copy of BS5839 Part 1 can be purchased from the British Standards Institution via their web site at www.bsi-global.com.

Excel-EN Installation, Commissioning & Operating Manual Approved Document Ref: UI-XLEN-01 Issue 7.0

61

SERVICE & MAINTENANCE

WEEKLY TEST

The call point test key should be inserted ﬁ rmly and deliberately into the bottom of the manual call point. Once activated it may be necessary to wait up to four seconds before the alarms sound.

Your manual call points may not be the same as the ones described above. If not please refer to your service and maintenance company for instructions.

Note:

Before testing the ﬁ re alarm system it may be necessary to isolate ancillary outputs.

It is essential that any alarm receiving centre is contacted immediately before and immediately after, the weekly test to ensure that unwanted alarms are avoided and that ﬁ re alarm signals are correctly received at the alarm receiving centre.

PERIODIC INSPECTION & SERVICING

Inspection & servicing should only be carried out by a ‘Competent Person’ who has sufﬁ cient knowledge to check the whole system. This would normally be a qualiﬁ ed electrical contractor or ﬁ re alarm specialist.

Inspection & servicing visits are normally conducted on a quarterly basis unless such factors as a dirty environment warrant servicing on a more regular basis. The maximum period between inspections must not exceed six months.

Recommendations of BS5839-1 for periodic service visits include:

• Every device on the system should be tested annually. The testing of each device can be split between periodic visits but with a minimum of one detector or call point tested on each circuit, per visit.

• On each visit the ‘Competent Person’ should check the record of false alarms. Any persistent occurrence should be investigated and corrective action taken as appropriate.

• Battery and connections should be examined and load tested to check serviceable condition and that they are not likely to fail before the next service visit.

• All other devices and control & indicating equipment should be checked for correct operation and any faults should be recorded and rectiﬁ ed.

• Details of the service visit must be recorded in the log book

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
