the programming facility.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FP1600 / OMEGA 64 is a 16 zone self-contained conventional fire alarm system expandable in multiples
of 16 zones to maximum of 96 zones. It has been designed specifically to meet NZS 4512:1997, the
New Zealand Building Code (Section F7), and the NZ Fire Service requirements for connection to remote
receiving stations.
Special features are: * Flexible programming facilities * Six zone circuit types
* Keypad circuit isolation * Automated Self-Test
* Serial Remote Displays (up to 8) * History log
Detector Compatibility – Refer to listings published elsewhere for detector compatibility.
Zone Circuits - The zone input circuits can be configured individually as one of the following types:
(All circuit types use a 2k70, 1% End of Line Resistor.)
Flowswitch - Open circuit is instant alarm. Short circuit is defect.
Default configuration: Non-Brigade signalling and Non-Bell ringing.
A globally programmable delay (0/5/10/15/20/25 seconds, default 5 seconds) applies before going into
alarm - the circuit must be continuously in alarm for the full period of the delay. A fixed delay of 5 seconds
continuously in normal applies before going out of alarm. This circuit type is non-latching.
Thermal - Open circuit is instant alarm. Short circuit is defect.
Default configuration: Latching, Brigade signalling, and Bell Ringing.
Evacuation Control - Supervised connection to a sprinkler DBA “Bell” output. (available on Master board
zone circuits 1-16 only). Short circuit is instant alarm. Open circuit is defect.
Default configuration is Non-Latching, Non-Brigade signalling, and Bell ringing.
An Evacuation circuit selected for bell ringing is unaffected by either of the Silence Alarms switches the alarm must be silenced at the source.
Combined - Allows connection of conventional 2-wire smoke detectors and clean contact devices.
Open circuit is instant alarm. Short circuit is defect.
Default configuration: Latching, Brigade signalling, Bell ringing, and smoke detector AVF enabled.
Smoke - Allows connection of conventional 2-wire smoke detectors and clean contact devices.
Open circuit is defect. Short circuit is an instant alarm if using programmable “MCP” facility.
(N/C contacts require PA0443 Contact conversion module).
Default configuration: Latching, Brigade signalling, Bell ringing, smoke detector AVF enabled, and “MCP”
option disabled.
Disabled - Shuts the circuits down to save current. Fitting an EOL resistor is optional on Disabled circuits.
LT0312 v1.03 4 July 2003 Page 1
Residential - Allows connection of conventional 2-wire smoke detectors and clean contact devices.
Open circuit is defect. Short circuit is an instant alarm if using programmable “MCP” facility.
(N/C contacts require PA0443 Contact conversion module).
Default configuration: “MCP” option disabled and smoke detectors Non-Brigade signalling, Non-Bell
ringing, Non-Indicating, AVF enabled.
The default configuration for “MCP” (if enabled): Latching, Brigade signalling, and Bell ringing.
A Residential circuit will latch a smoke detector activation in alarm for a per-board programmable period
(0-250 sec, default 30 sec, 0 = stay latched) before attempting to self-reset. This allows local sounders
to operate for the length of the delay per detector activation.
Smoke and thermal/MCP activations can be mapped separately to ancillaries, brigade, and bells.
Open circuit MCP alarm cannot be allowed on Residential circuits (i.e. combined operation) because
once a smoke detector had operated, an open circuit beyond the operated detector would not be able
to be detected. A contact conversion module (PA0443) is therefore required for MCPs.
7-Segment Displays - There are three 7-segment displays per board. See “Display Codes” later.
Zone Index LEDs - Single flash = thermal/manual alarm. Double flash = smoke alarm. The Normal LED
has a power-save cadence when mains is off.
Buzzer - The buzzer generally indicates the presence of abnormal conditions when the door is closed,
and the presence of defects when the system is not remotely connected.
Evacuation Switch - The Evacuation key switch allows manual activation of the alerting devices (without
calling the Brigade). It may also be programmed to activate ancillary outputs.
Silence Alarms Switch - Operation of the Silence Alarms switches (external or internal) prevents the
alerting devices sounding when an alarm is present. They may also be programmed to de-activate
ancillary outputs. The external keyswitch generates a defect.
Note: These switches will not silence the alerting devices for an Evacuation Control circuit alarm or the
ERD- input.
Services Restore Switch - The Services Restore switch is intended to allow the Brigade to restore
ancillary services even when an alarm is present. The effect of this switch on the ancillary outputs is
programmable.
Mains Switch - 230V Mains isolation is provided by a switch on the mains termination cover.
Brigade Interface - Fit a 2W/4W General Purpose SGD (PA0862), or a General Purpose Brigade Relay
Interface (PA0861). These boards mount on stand-offs and plug into the ”Brigade Signalling Interface”
Connector (J20) (Master board only). If an interface is not fitted, select “Local” mode (Lo) in programming.
RZDU Interface - Up to 8 compatible Remote Zone Display devices can be connected to the Master
board. Wiring is a 3 or 4-core star-spur arrangement. Refer to the Technical Manual for further details.
Brigade control switches and a Brigade index may be provided at each RZDU.

Control Buttons (internal) - Four pushbuttons give access to current and latched display information,
operator functions and to the programming facility (described later):
“Current Defects” shows all defects currently present.
“Latched Defects” shows all defects since last Panel Reset, including those currently present.
“System Status” shows current status conditions (including groups and switches).
“Function” gives access to the Function menu (see “Function Menu” and descriptions below).
In some menus, buttons have a slow/fast automatic increment mode if pressed and held.
Panel Reset - To clear latched conditions, modes, and indications, select Panel Reset (Pr) on the Function
Menu and press "Select".
Self-Test - Self-Test (St) is selectable on the Function menu. Press "Select" to commence test.
Self-Test automatically performs internal RAM and EEPROM checksum tests, and also exercises all
zone circuits. Order of testing (indication in brackets): (St), 1 - 8 Alarm (A), All Normal (n), 9 - 16 Alarm
(A), All Normal (n), All open-circuit (o), All Normal (n), then each enabled zone individually short-circuit
and back to normal (1), (2), (3) etc. to (16); (St) flashes until all RZDUs complete their test.
Self-Test failure results in a pulsing buzzer and failure code display (see “Self/Auto Test Failure Codes”)
Self-Test will not run (long beep) if there is a Fire or Defect indication (latched or current), or if a brigade
connected panel is not Brigade Isolated or in Brigade Test. Non-brigade calling zone circuits in offnormal conditions are omitted from the test, but do not prevent it from running.
Automatic Test - An automatic version of the Self-Test runs at the beginning of every daily charger inhibit
period. This can be initiated manually by selecting "Ci" on the Function menu.
Lamp Test - To initiate a lamp test select (Lt) on the Function menu. Press any button to cancel.
The door may be closed during a lamp test.
Non-Latching Test (NLT) Mode - NLT (walk test) mode (nL) is selectable through the Function menu.
A double beep every thirty seconds and an "nL" displayed, indicates entry into this mode. All enabled
zone circuits are temporarily set to indicating, non-latching, bell-ringing, non-brigade calling, with no
delays or gating regardless of their programmed selection.
In NLT mode, when any circuit is placed into alarm, its zone indication is latched on with the most recent
type of alarm, and the evacuation (Bells) output is activated for 0.5 seconds. Groups and ancillaries do
not operate.
A long beep indicates NLT mode cannot be entered - this could be a Fire or Defect condition (latched
or current), or if a brigade-connected panel is not Brigade Isolated or in Brigade Test. Panel Reset clears
NLT mode.
History Recall - History Recall is an interrogation feature available in the Function menu.
The most recent 15 significant events per board are stored in chronological order in RAM and will be
lost if power fails. There is no time/date "stamping". (See “Display Codes” for details of operation).
Zone Isolation - Individual zone isolation/de-isolation (toggle function) is available on a board-by-board
basis in the Function menu. Isolated zones are indicated on the displays. Power failure will clear.
LT0312 v1.03 4 July 2003 Page 3
Charger Inhibit - Starts a 40 minute Charger Inhibit period (reduced voltage). Also initiates an automatic
self-test (if permitted). Panel Reset will terminate period.
Bells Output - For supervision, all alerting devices must have a series diode (eg. 1N4004), and
End of Line resistors must be fitted as follows: 1 Branch: 9k1 1% EOL, 2 Branches: 2 x 18k 1% EOLs,
or 3 Branches: 3 x 27k 1% EOLs. Maximum total load is 5A (subject to battery / charger capacity
limitations). Supervision can be disabled in programming.
Three links (R62 - R64) can be cut out to convert to 5 Amp clean contact (supervision must be disabled).
Ancillary Relay (Ar) - The ancillary relay on each board is a 30V, 5A max (Resistive) single pole
changeover relay. Ar defaults to ”Common Fire or Lamp Test” but is fully programmable for other uses.
On-Board Ancillary Outputs (A20-, A21-) - Two hard-wire open collector output tabs on each board
default to "Common Defect or Lamp Test" and "Common Normal or Lamp Test" respectively, but are
programmable for other uses.
Additional Relay/Ancillary Outputs - Access per board to the other 19 ancillary outputs is via a 26
Way Flat Ribbon Cable (J21) and a Mimic Termination Board (PA0702). All Outputs are 30V, 200mA
open collector drivers (except LAMP- also drives the internal lamp).
All ancillaries are programmable, but defaults are suitable for a hard-wired mimic. (See “Ancillary Output
Defaults” for default functions and Output Designation on the Mimic Termination Board).
Defect Buzzer Cancel Input (DBC-) (Master board only) - A momentary closure to 0V silences the local
mode defect buzzer.
External Defect Input (Ext DEF-) - Pull this input to 0V to generate a defect.
External Reset Input (Ext RST-) (Master board only) - Pull this input to 0V to generate a Panel Reset.
Evacuation Relay Drive Input (ERD-) (Master board only) - Pull this input to 0V to activate the alerting
devices (non-silencable). (To comply with latest standards, use Evacuation Control Zone circuit instead).
Not implemented in V4.00 software
Battery Charger - The internal battery charger is constant voltage and current-limited (13.65V, 2A
nominal), temperature compensated to suit an internal 12V sealed lead-acid battery. Multiple chargers
may be operated in parallel. For standby capacity of battery and charger combinations, refer to the
Technical Manual for calculation methods.
Programming Mode - To enter programming mode, press and hold all three Master board "Program"
buttons (Select, Mode, and Change) for 3 short beeps and 1 long beep. Insert the "Data Program Enable"
link in all boards if any changes are to be saved. Refer to "Programming Menu", “Programming Options
and Codes”, and the “Programming Flowchart” for options available.
Program Exit Options - If an "exit with save" is attempted with any of the "Data Program Enable" links
not installed, you will get a series of beeps and the system will remain in programming mode.
Simply insert the link(s) and try saving again, or press Function to bail out without saving any changes.
Programming mode times out after 4 minutes of inactivity, or by closing the door.

Ordering Information - Panels and Accessories
Programming Groups - A programming Group exists within a board only and becomes active only when
all zones on that board mapped to the group are in alarm and not isolated. Groups can optionally be
latching (until panel reset) and can be mapped to ancillary outputs and/or universal variables.
(For residential circuit types, any activated alarm type mapped to a group is sufficient).
Universal Variables - Programming Universal Variables (U01-U16) can be driven and accessed by all
boards in the system, and allow some logical OR combinations of zone and group statuses between
boards. Universal Variables can be mapped to ancillary outputs.
Ancillary Override (System configuration option) - If Ancillary Override is enabled, “Door Open” is
treated the same as operating the Services Restore switch.
Ancillary Output Programming - Ancillary outputs follow a logical OR of the options selected, except
for overrides required by standards (eg. Evacuation overrides Silence Alarms)
Door Switch Supervision - (Master board only, not optional) When fitting a Mk3 Master board into an
older cabinet, solder a 220kW 1% resistor across the Services Restore switch terminals.
Earth Fault Monitoring - Detects a leakage from field wiring to earth. This facility can be disabled by
cutting out link R65 on all Mk3 boards in the system.
