System Description
2.1 OVERVIEW
2.1.1 GENERAL
The F3200 is a self-contained, modular, intelligent Fire Indicator Panel (FIP) which performs
the functions of the Control and Indicating Equipment (CIE) as specified by the Australian
Standard AS1603.4 Automatic Fire Detection and Alarm Systems.
It is also available in formats that comply with AS4428.1. Refer to the relevant manuals that
apply to the AS4428.1 approved products.
The F3200 has a high degree of flexibility and expandability, catering for medium to very
large buildings from 8 zones or less, to 64 zones maximum. Refer to the constraints
specified in Section 3.1.3. More panels and zones can be added through the use of the
Vigilant Panel-link Network and the appropriate networkable F3200s.
This manual is also used for the installation of an NDU (Network Display Unit). NDU
operation is described in Section 11.11. An NDU may be programmed to operate in either
Australian mode (default) or New Zealand mode, and the operation of an NDU in New
Zealand mode is described in Chapter 12.
2.1.2 DETECTOR CIRCUITS
The F3200 detector interface electronics caters for a wide range of detectors, including
various types which have high alarm current requirements. It also caters for interfacing to:
Long line circuits e.g. from a sub-indicator FIP.
Tamper-proof circuits e.g. for water valve supervision.
A full range of compatible detectors is listed in the Appendix A.
2.1.3 DISPLAYS
The primary display of the F3200 is a 2 line by 40 character LCD on which status messages
and prompts are shown. The LCD has backlight illumination which is turned on when there
is an alarm or operator interaction.
Common conditions such as zone ALARM, ISOLATED and FAULT, and various system
states such as BELLS ISOLATED are displayed on LEDs adjacent to the LCD.
The display panel composed of the LCD, LEDs and operator keypad meets the requirements
of AS4050 (int) for a Fire Fighter's Control and Indicating Facility (FFCIF).
As an optional extra, individual zone status (ALARM, ISOLATE and FAULT) can be
displayed on LEDs by fitting the appropriate number of 16 Zone LED Display Bds.
The F3200 electronics includes, as standard, an open collector transistor output for each
zone which can be used to drive an internal or remote mimic display.
F3200 Installation & Programming ManualDocument No: LT0122
System Description
2.1.4 OUTPUTS
The F3200 MAF/PSU Module provides 7 relays as standard. These are used for signalling
to the Brigade (Fire Control Station) and for switching alarm bells and ancillary equipment
such as door holders, airconditioning shutdown, etc.
When more than 7 relays are required, additional sets of 8 can be added by fitting 8 Relay
Modules.
All outputs, including the open collectors on the 8 Zone Modules, are individually
programmable by a logic equation of zone and FIP status.
2.1.5 POWER SUPPLY
The F3200 has a 3 Amp battery charger/power supply as standard. There is adequate room
for large batteries.
An optional 6 Amp battery charger/power supply is available. This is factory fitted, but is not
available in the small cabinet FIPs.
Fuse protected battery backed and non-battery backed supplies are available to power
external loads such as bells, illuminated signs, interposing relays, gas release solenoids,
door holders, etc.
2.1.6 REMOTE DISPLAY & PRINTER
A serial port is included in the F3200 to provide a 3 or 4 wire link to a Remote Zone Display
Unit (RZDU). Several versions of F3200 remote displays are available, including the small,
Remote LCD unit.
The F3200 also has a serial port to drive a logging printer, which records all events as they
occur, with time and date. Logging of relay events is programmable. For network systems,
events from other selected devices on the network may be logged into the history and
printed on the local printer, and events generated locally by this system may be printed by
some other device on the network.
2.1.7 NETWORKING
Networking of F3200s allows the sharing of zone, event and alarm information, the ability to
remotely control other F3200s, and, overall, the expansion of an F3200 system beyond 64
zones.
Networking is achieved through a different software version and the fitting of an RS485
Communications board.
The F3200 has a rugged, lockable painted steel cabinet, which houses 19 inch rack-mount
equipment and comes in two height options (both have the same width and depth). The
standard cabinet accommodates 15U total and the small cabinet accommodates 8U (where
1U = 1 3/4" = 44.5mm).
The Operator Display has a screened, polyester overlay mounted on a hinged inner door
fitted to the top 4U position. The Controller/Display pcb mounts directly to the rear of this
door.
Standard Cabinet
In the standard cabinet the space below the 4U Operator Display panel is covered by a
blanking plate, but there is provision for mounting other equipment (e.g. a 7U hinged inner
door for a mimic, or 16 Zone LED Display Bds), in place of this blanking plate.
There is provision for mounting additional equipment in the bottom 4U (e.g. an AS1668
control rack), but this would encroach on battery space.
The outer door has a large acrylic window to allow viewing of the equipment inside.
Four versions of FIP are available in this cabinet. The FP0551, which caters for up to 64
zones, has a cardframe fitted to the rear wall as shown in Fig 2.2.1. The FP0550 has
provision (pcb stand-offs) for mounting up to three 8 way modules (i.e. 3 x 8 Zone or 8 Relay
Modules) on the rear wall. Both are supplied with 1 8 Zone Module fitted.
Versions of these two FIPs are also available with a 6 Amp power supply:
FP0713 (8 module capacity), and FP0712 (3 module capacity).
Small Cabinet
In the small cabinet, only 1U (of the 4U) below the 4U Operator Display is visible through the
outer window. The gap is covered by a blanking plate (2U), which can be replaced by a
bracket for mounting a limited range of equipment, eg. a 1U AIU bracket, or a 1U 1 Zone
Gas Control Panel.
A 6A PSU or a 7U LED Display door cannot be fitted.
Up to four 8 way modules can be mounted on the rear wall, but the bottom two of these
share space with the batteries. Mounting arrangement and maximum capacity are shown in
Fig 2.2.2.
Only one FIP is available (FP0583), and this comes with one 8 Zone Module fitted (in the top
left position).

System Description
2.3.2 INTER-CONNECTION & STRUCTURE
A basic F3200 system
all connected by Flat Ribbon Cable (FRC) on a common Input/Output (I/O) Bus.
Additional 8 Zone Modules and/or 8 Relay Modules
maximum of eight 8 way modules. This is shown in the block diagram of Fig 2.3.1.
The physical maximums are:
three 8 way modules in an FP0550 or FP0712.
four 8 way modules in an FP0583 (with restrictions)
eight 8 way modules in an FP0551 or FP0713.
Expansion is from top to bottom.
The I/O Bus Out of one module connects to the I/O Bus In of the next module via the 20 way
FRC provided (LM0053).
No link or "End of Bus" is required on the last module because the data from the furthest
output shift register is fed into the furthest input shift register via the wrap-around resistor as
shown in Fig 2.3.2.
Refer to Section 3.1.3 Specifications for detail on the structural arrangement of AZCs and
relays.
To further extend these capabilities, up to 64 F3200s may be networked together, with full
sharing of information and remote control of each panel by a master panel.
has one Controller/Display, one MAF/PSU, and one 8 Zone Module,
can be fitted to the I/O bus, with a
16 Zone LED Display bds
They receive power from the MAF/PSU via two power leads. Where more than one is
required they are connected in series (up to 4 maximum) from right to left (as viewed from
the front) on the FIP. The 26 way FRC from J13 of the Controller goes to J1 ("From
Previous") of the right hand Display Bd. Zone 1 (default) corresponds to the top LEDs on
the left hand Display Bd. The last board requires the "end of bus" minijump connector to be
fitted. Note that a special FRC cable is required to connect the Controller Board to the first
Display Board (LM0092).
Where LED Display bds are fitted, the default programming requires one Display bd (16
zones) for every two 8 Zone Modules, i.e. one for 1-16 zones, two for 17-32 zones, etc.
Zone 1 corresponds to the top row of 3 LEDs on the left most Display. Zone 2 to the row
below it, etc, (top to bottom, left to right).
LED Display bds may also annunciate relay status, i.e. Alarm <-> relay energised, Isolated
<-> relay isolated, Fault <-> relay wiring fault (i.e. supervision fault).
The default programming for displaying both zone and relay status requires one Display bd
for every two 8 way modules (zone and relay).
are driven from a separate serial bus on the Controller/Display.
The relay LEDs simply follow the zone LEDs in the same order that they occur in the
modules. E.g. a system with three 8 Zone Modules and two 8 Relay Modules would require
3 Display bds. Relay 1 would be annunciated on the 25th row of LEDs and the last 8 rows
would be unused as shown in Fig 2.3.3.
Mapping zones and relays to LEDs in other patterns is programmable.
