1. General Description
The Matrix2000 advanced analog re alarm control panels have been designed to
provide full re detection coverage to buildings or installations that require re detection
systems of 4 to 24 zones.
There are six (6) basic models for the Matrix2000 panel:
Model Zones Common Relays
M2004 4 2
M2008 8 2
M2012 12 2
M2016 16 2
M2020 20 2
M2024 24 2
Table 1. Matrix2000 panel models
Operating Voltage 220-240 VAC / 50-60Hz or 110-120 VAC / 50-60Hz.
Matrix2000 panel has the following optional components:
- Expansion Zone Board
- Expansion Relay Board
- Remote Zone Annunciator
The analytic indications and the simple controls of the Matrix2000 panel ensure the
easy handling and controlling of the system by the operator.
2. Keyboard Indications and Controls
Operating, monitoring and programming of the panel is performed in three different access levels. Access to level 2 is achieved by the keyswitch on the face of the panel
(Figure 1). Operations at access level 2 are performed with the silicon rubber keypad.
Access level 3 operations are accomplished with the microswitches on the main circuit
board of the panel.

2.1 POWER Indication
The POWER indication is permanently ON if the main power is present and batteries are
healthy. This condition signies normal system operation.
POWER indicator OFF signies a total power failure of the system. This can be due to a
5

number of reasons. Some of them are:
Main power failure for an extended period of time during which the batteries have •
been depleted.
Blown main board fuse.•
Other malfunction of the power supply, main board disconnected from PSU (power •
supply unit) etc.
Blinking power indicator signies one of the following :
(a) Removal or power loss of the batteries.
(b) Main power loss.
(c) Blown main power fuse or PSU fuse.
In the above cases, SYSTEM FAULT indicator turns ON and the on board buzzer sounds
continuously.
2.1.1 Battery faults
The Matrix2000 panel uses a battery fault detection system that will generate a battery
fault indication in the following cases:
Battery missing.•
Battery wiring open circuit.•
Battery not able to charge (low voltage).•
Battery wear (increased internal resistance of batteries).•
2.2 System FAULT indication (General Fault)
GENERAL FAULT, indicates a problem in the system. It turns ON in case of:
Zone wiring connection problems,•
Signalling devices output wiring problems •
Relays outputs wiring problems (auxiliary relays MER4 or MER8). •
Auxiliary power faults•
Earth fault condition•
The above mentioned problems could be open circuits, shorts between wires or shorts
between wires and earth.
Consequently the Fault relay output is activated. At the same time there will be a continu-
ous audible notication from the on board Buzzer.
It is possible to silence the Buzzer by pressing the SILENCE key, with the keyswitch in
position Control Enable.
When the problems causing the indication are restored all the above indications will turn
off automatically.

2.3 Additional system fault indications
In this group three distinct fault conditions are indicated:
2.3.1 SIGNALING DEVICE fault
When active, this indicator signies a fault condition of the signaling device output. The
fault can be one of the following:
Short circuit of the two output wires•
Open circuit in the connecting cable between the block connector and the signaling •
device. The signaling device must be terminated with a 4.7K Ohm resistor (EOL)
Blown fuse that protects the system from shorts while the signalling device is in •
operation.
2.3.2 EARTH fault
When active, this indicator signies a short circuit between any of the panel’s wiring
(zones, relays, outputs etc.) and the building’s earth is detected.
The signaling device output wires are also monitored for the earth short condition.
2.3.3 AUX POWER Fault
When active, this indicator signies an overcurrent condition at the auxiliary power output is detected. The maximum allowed current is 1 Amp. The device is capable of continuous operation even at full short circuit of this output; though any device powered from
this output will stop functioning.
If more than 1 Amp is required, a compatible EN 54-4 approved re alarm power supply
must be used. When such a power supply is used, the -24 OUT connection of the panel
must be connected to the negative terminal of the auxiliary power supply.
2.4 Zone Fault indications
The Zone Fault indications will blink, in a different pattern, (Figure 2, page 6) depending
on the type of the problem that occurs.
In detail:
(a) If a short-circuit or an opening of a zone is detected, System FAULT indication will
turn ON, the corresponding Zones FAULT indication will blink as in Pattern A, (Figure 2,
page 6) and at the same time there will be an audible notication from the on board
Buzzer.
Possible causes of a zone problem are:
(a1) Disconnection or interruption of wiring of the zone.
(a2) Short-circuit in the wiring of the zone.
(a3) Removal of sensor from its base.
(a4) Removal of the terminating resistor (EOL).
(b) When a Relay expansion module is used the Zones FAULT indication is also trig-
gered by:
A short-circuit or opening of the wiring in the corresponding zone relay output.•
Removal of the output terminating resistor (EOL).•
In case (b) as listed above the System FAULT indication will turn ON and the Zones
FAULT indication of the corresponding zone will blink (Figure 2, Pattern b). At the same
time there is also an audible notication from the on board Buzzer.

(c) In the case that both of the above cases occurs, the LED indication starts blinking
(Figure 2, Pattern c), while at the same time there is an audible notication from the on
board Buzzer.

Figure 2. Zones Fault indications
To silence the Buzzer, press the SILENCE key, with the keyswitch in position Control
Enable. The System FAULT indication remains ON in order to show that a problem ex-
ists in the installation. The Buzzer sounds in regular time intervals, in order to remind
the user the existence of the problem. All the indications will turn OFF automatically after
all problems are restored.
Software Watchdog
The Matrix2000 panel contains a watchdog circuit that will activate when the micropro-
cessor is either faulty or unable to execute the programmed rmware. Upon detection,
the Fault relay, the on board sounder and the fault indicator on the user interface are all
activated.
2.5 System ALARM indication
When the system detects a condition of re (smoke, high temperature etc), the panel
turns in Alarm Mode and the System ALARM indication turns ON. At the same time
there is a continuous audible alarm from the sounder or sounders that are connected on
the main board.
System ALARM indication also turns ON when the evacuation of a protected area is
required. It can be accomplished by turning the keyswitch in the Evacuate position.
In both cases the indication is blinking when a Zones ALARM has occurred (Figure 3).
In the above cases the on board buzzer will also sound.
2.6 Zones ALARM indications
Zones ALARM indicators blink (Figure 3) each time a detector or a manual call point
from the corresponding zone is triggered.
When the call point and all smoke detectors are restored, the system will continue in

Alarm Mode. To silence the Buzzer, press the SILENCE key, with the keyswitch in the
Control Enable position. All indications will remain ON until the Reset button is pressed.
Keypad buttons are active only when the keyswitch is turned to the Control Enable
position.
Figure 3 shows the alarm LED indications when activated by detectors, manual call
points and evacuation keyswitch.

3. Central Electric Keyswitch
Coperations are accessed when the Electric Keyswitch is set to the appropriate position
(Figure 1). The central electric Keyswitch has three positions:
1
st
position (Access Level 1) Normal: This is the Normal operation mode. The panel
waits for alarm events or any faults that may develop in the installation. All buttons on the
silicon rubber keypad are disabled.
2nd position (Access Level 2) Control Enable: Alarm events and possible faults are
detected, all buttons on the silicon rubber keypad are active and the system is controllable.
For Normal operation the keyswitch must be in the 1st position.
3rd position (Access Level 3) Evacuate: After a small delay of approximately 2 seconds all the system zones turn into Alarm Evacuation Mode resulting in the activation of
all signaling devices in the protected area. The sounder connected on the main board
gives a continuous sound. In case that a MER-8 relay module is used, the extra relays
are activated and connected sounders give an intermittent sound. The system returns
to standby mode by turning the key to the Control Enable position and pressing the
RESET button.
The key from the Keyswitch can be removed only when the keyswitch is in the Normal
position.

4. Controls Via Keypad
Keypad keys, are activated only when the key of the Keyswitch is set in the Control
Enable position.
4.1 System SILENCE key
Pressing the SILENCE key will cause any existing audible signal to stop. If a
new event occurs, the silenced condition will be canceled and the appropriate
devices will resound.
4.2 System TEST key
By pressing the System TEST key all the visual indicators of the keypad turn
ON, conrming that none of the LEDs are damaged. The condition is main-
tained for as long as the System TEST key is kept pressed. The buzzer and the
main sounders are also active during the test.
4.3 System RESET key
The System RESET key is used for resetting the system’s zones in Standby
mode after an alarm.
4.4 Zones BYPASS keys
(also called zone disablements)
The Zones BYPASS keys are used to prevent the corresponding zone from causing
an alarm. Note that zone disablements must not be a permanent working condition and
they must be used only as a temporary action. For example zone bypassing can be used
in case of building maintenance or other activities that can trigger false alarms on the
detectors.
Bypassing a zone is achieved by positioning the keyswitch in the Control Enable posi-
tion and then pressing the corresponding Zones BYPASS key. At the same time
the indicator is turned ON. It only returns to normal operation by pressing the
same key again (toggle action). If one of the Zones BYPASS key indicators is
turned ON (yellow color) the corresponding zone is isolated and does not cause
alarms. If an error occurs to a bypassed zone, the General FAULT indicator is
activated but the system stays in silent mode. An alarm condition to a bypassed
zone is recognized and indicated but do not activate the sounders.
If any of the zones is in bypass state the buzzer sounds every 1 minute to remind the user of the existing disablement.
