F3200/NDU AS4428.1 Installation Manual Document No: LT0255
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 AS4428.1.

It 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 Panel-link
Network and the appropriate networkable F3200s.

An NDU (Network Display Unit) is essentially a networked F3200 that doesn’t have any
alarm zone or relay modules, but displays information received from other FIPs on the
network. A number of versions are available. Some in larger cabinets have their own
MAF/PSU and battery, while other slim-line versions have just the Operator Display (and
Controller) and require power from a FIP (or similarly monitored and battery backed source).
An NDU may be programmed to operate in either Australian (default) or New Zealand Mode.

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. A full range of compatible
detectors is listed in Appendix A. F3200 also caters for interfacing to:
Intrinsically safe circuit barriers/isolators (hazardous areas);

Long line circuits e.g. from a sub-indicator FIP;
Tamper-proof circuits e.g. for water valve supervision.

2.1.3 DISPLAYS

The primary display of the F3200 is a 2 line by 40 character LCD on which the 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 are displayed on 9 LEDs
adjacent to the LCD.

The display panel composed of the LCD, common LEDs and keypad is called the Operator
Display panel. The portion within the red border is called the Firefighter's Facility (FF). It
includes the common status LEDs for ALARM, ISOLATED and FAULT. 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 boards. By default Zone 1
corresponds to the top row of LEDs (3) on the left most display, Zone 2 to the row below it,
etc, (top to bottom, left to right). Display Bds may also annunciate Relay status. Alarm LED
on = relay energised, Isolated LED on = relay isolated, Fault LED on = relay wiring fault (i.e.
supervision fault). The relay LEDs simply follow the zone LEDs in the same order that they
occur in the FIP. For example, a system with 3 x 8 Zone Modules, 2 x 8 Relay Modules,
would require 3 Display Bds. Relay 1 will be annunciated on the 25th row of LEDs and the
last 8 rows will be unused. Mapping zones and relays to LEDs in other patterns is
programmable.

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.

An NDU in New Zealand mode may have an additional 3 system status indicators on the
NZ Display Extender board fitted. This provides the Fire, Defect, Normal LEDs, and also
connects to a Termination Bd which accepts the NZ specific inputs and outputs including the
Trail Evac and Silence Alarms key-switches.

System Description

2.1.4 OUTPUTS

The F3200 MAF/PSU Module provides 7 relays as standard. These are used for signalling
to the Brigade (Monitoring Service) and for switching the External Bell, Warning System and
ancillary equipment such as door holders, air-conditioning 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. The default configuration (link
setting and programming) dedicates 4 of the 7 relays (Alarm, Isolated, Fault and Standby,
commonly called the MAF relays) to interface to the ASE (Alarm Signalling Equipment), 1
(labelled Anc2) to drive the External Bell (EB), and 1 (labelled Anc3/Bells) to drive the
Warning System (WS). The MAF Standby relay has electronics which forces it to de­energise at the Battery Very Low voltage, and this must be considered if using if for any
function other than its default one.

2.1.5 POWER SUPPLY

The F3200 has a 3 Amp battery charger/power supply as standard. There is adequate room
for large batteries. Versions are available that have a 6 Amp PSU.

2.1.6 REMOTE DISPLAYS & PRINTER

A serial port is included in the F3200 and NDU to provide a 3 or 4 wire link to up to 8 Remote
Display Units (RDU). Several versions of RDU are available.

The most commonly used versions have small, slimline cabinets (flush and surface
mounting) not much larger than the F3200 display-keyboard which is fitted on them. They
receive power from the F3200 FIP or NDU. Other versions look like an F3200 FIP, have
their own power supply, and may have LED Display Boards fitted to them.

Additional mimic-only devices can be connected to the RDU output to monitor the F3200
zone status. For example, IO-NET can be used to provide floor mimic panels, AS1668
interfaces or remote outputs for evacuation panels.

For a networked system, an RDU can display (and control) only the zones and relays of the
FIP to which the RDU is connected. With appropriate programming, such an RDU could be
used to isolate the Warning System of that FIP, and hence isolate the Warning System
across the entire network.

2.1.7 LOGGING PRINTER

A serial printer may be connected to the F3200 or NDU to provide a log of events and
operator actions, and also to print the programmed database.

Events which are printed include:

(i) Zone Events, e.g. Alarm, Fault;
(ii) Zone Commands, e.g. Reset, Isolate;
(iii) System events, e.g. communication failures, battery faults, etc.

The printout includes the time and date, the cause of the event (e.g. Zone, Relay, RDU or
FIP), and the event type. Events and commands for zones and relays that have a text name
programmed also have the name printed. F3200 is able to store at least 100 events for
printing, being the first 100 events to occur.

As events are printed, more events are able to be put into the list. If events cannot be put
into the list because it is full, the FIP keeps a count of those events it has had to discard.

Page 2-4 30 June 2004 Issue 1.04

www.DataSheet4U.com

Document No: LT0255 F3200/NDU AS4428.1 Installation Manual
System Description

LOGGING PRINTER (CONTINUED)

When the FIP is next able to put more events into the list, it prints out the number of events it
had to discard.

For a networked system, with appropriate programming, an F3200 panel (or NDU) may print
events and accumulate history for some or all of the other panels on the network.

2.1.8 NETWORKING CAPABILITIES

A number of F3200 fire panels, NDUs and other Panel-link compatible devices may be
connected together to form a large distributed system. With suitable programming events
may be annunciated at, and controlled from, other panels on the network. A panel (or NDU)
may be set up as a main panel to provide a common monitoring service connection point
with display and control of all facilities on the network.

The F3200 system supports the addition of colour graphics display and control terminals on
the network. These units can be programmed to show graphical displays on zone alarm or
fault conditions. The operator can use function keys or an optional touch screen to generate
commands to the F3200 and thus have remote control of it.

2.1.9 GASEOUS FIRE EXTINGUISHING PANELS

A range of F3200 panels are available specially assembled and programmed for gaseous
fire extinguishing applications complying with AS4214.

System Description

2.2 PHYSICAL STRUCTURE

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 ASE rack),
but this might 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 FP0781 and FP0783, which cater for
up to 64 zones, have a Cardframe fitted to the rear wall as shown in Fig 2.2.1. The FP0780
and FP0782 have 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. All of these panels are supplied with 1 8
Zone Module fitted.

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, e.g. a 1U ASE 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 (FP0784), 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 has one Controller/Display, one MAF/PSU, and one 8 Zone Module,

all connected by Flat Ribbon Cable (FRC) on a common Input/Output (I/O) Bus.

Additional 8 Zone Modules and/or 8 Relay Modules can be fitted to the I/O bus, with a
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 FP0780 or FP0782.
four 8 way modules in an FP0784 (with restrictions)
eight 8 way modules in an FP0781 or FP0783.

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.

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.

16 Zone LED Display Bds are driven from a separate serial bus on the Controller/Display.
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 or 8 Relay 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 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.

Mapping zones and relays to LEDs in other patterns is programmable.

www.DataSheet4U.com

F3200/NDU AS4428.1 Installation Manual Document No: LT0255
Configuring a FIP

4.1 GENERAL

An F3200 FIP is configured to suit a particular customer's requirements by:

Fitting and connecting the required PCB modules;
adjusting or removing links on the PCBs;
programming the FIP.

The detectors, manual call points (MCPs), warning devices, ancillary equipment and field
wiring that are connected to the FIP must match the FIP configuration.

The FIP configuration data, which is entered during programming, is stored in the non­volatile memory database. The database may be saved to a computer for backup storage,
and reloaded from the computer.

All programmable options have a default option for the most likely usage. That is, for many
applications, no programming other than entry of site and zone names will be necessary.

Programming is described in detail in the F3200 AS4428.1 Programming Manual LT0256.

4.2 MODULE CONFIGURATION

The required modules are fitted to the F3200 as described in Section 2.3.2. Note that 8 way
modules are connected Bus Out to Bus In, with all 8 Zone Modules preceding any 8 Relay
Modules. Where it is desired to add a module to an existing system this can be done by
programming the Module Configuration through the keyboard (Refer to LT0256
Programming Manual).

The F3200 does various self-tests on start up and includes checking to see what modules
are present (including 16 Zone LED Display Bds). It displays the results on the LCD. If the
modules present do not agree with the programmed database then the FIP annunciates this
and remains inactive.

E2 Initialisation causes the Controller/Display to accept the modules found as present and
stores this configuration in the database. E2 Initialisation also clears all other data
programmed in the database.

For servicing, modules can be temporarily removed as detailed in Section 10.2 of the
Operator's Manual. This temporary configuration is not stored in the database.

Configuring a FIP

4.3 BATTERY & POWER SUPPLY

4.3.1 GENERAL

The F3200 FIP has a dc power supply, which also serves as battery charger and requires a
24V sealed lead acid battery (i.e. 2 x 12V batteries in series) to be fitted. (See Section 3.3.3
for compatible batteries). Battery leads with 4.8mm Quick Connect receptacles (for
connecting to the battery tabs) are included.

Charger Rating (Refer to AS1670.1 Section 8.2).

The standard F3200 has a 3A power supply. Versions are also available with a 6A PSU.
This has a second mains transformer, a 3A rectifier PCB and a larger heatsink connected to
the MAF/PSU. Several components on the PCB are also upgraded.

When a 6A power supply is fitted, the standard PTC on the MAF/PSU are shorted out and
additional battery protection must be fitted (see Section 4.3.5).

To comply with AS1670.1 the power supply rating must be sufficient to charge the batteries
while powering the panel with 2 zones in alarm. This includes all remaining quiescent loads,
common alarm load, plus 2 (or 20%, which ever is greater) of all connected fire suppression
systems in the active state (i.e. solenoids, warning signs, etc).

The definition of charging the batteries is supplying enough current to charge them within 24
hours to provide a capacity that will support 5 hours of FIP quiescent load (i.e. with mains
off) followed by 0.5 hour of alarm load for two, worst case zones.

The recommended order of performing calculations is listed in Section 4.3.2.

Battery Rating (Refer to AS1670.1 Section 8.2).

The battery capacity must be sufficient to support 24 hours of quiescent load (i.e. with mains
off), followed by 0.5 hour of alarm load for two worse case zones.

Notes

1. The quiescent load includes the FIP electronics (in normal state) plus any external

normally energised loads that operate from the battery backed supply. Hence door
holders are normally supplied from a non-battery backed supply.

2. Alarm load includes FIP electronics (in alarm state) plus any external loads such as

common Warning System, air conditioning shutdown relays, etc, plus the 2 (or 20%)
fire suppression zones.

3. The capacity of a battery depends on the rate (i.e. current) at which it is discharged.

Most batteries are quoted at a 20 hour discharge e.g. a 10Ahr battery will supply

0.5A for 20 hours. At 3 times the current (i.e. 1.5A) the same battery will discharge in
typically 5.6 hours, i.e. the capacity is only 8.5Ahr. At 10 times the rate the capacity
is approximately 75% of the 20 hour rate capacity (i.e. 7.5Ahr). Hence for alarm
loads it is safest to derate the capacity to 75%.

Configuring a FIP

GENERAL (CONTINUED)

4. The approvals laboratory recommends using 90% derating of batteries used on

F3200 because the battery fail voltage (Standby) is 22V instead of 21V (as used on
some other FIPs). The local approval body may not require this, however, because
although the F3200 will not generate new alarms below the battery fail voltage, it will
maintain any alarms and outputs that occurred when the voltage was higher than the
battery fail voltage. AS1670.1 does, however, recommend 80% derating of batteries
for the effect of ageing, i.e. multiply the required battery capacity (at end of life) by

1.25 when calculating the required capacity for a new battery.

5. For maximum physical battery sizes refer to "Battery Size". (Refer to Section 4.3.4).

4.3.2 BATTERY/CHARGER CALCULATIONS

The recommended order of calculations is as follows:

1. Calculate the FIP quiescent load (Iq) from the figures given in Section 3.3.5. Note

that the detector load for each AZC has to be added to the quiescent current per
AZC. Calculate In separately, where In is the external non-alarm, non-battery
backed load on the FIP PSU (e.g. door holders).

2. Calculate the FIP alarm load (Ia) for 2 zones in alarm from Section 3.3.5. (Include all

external loads e.g. Warning System, relays).

3. Calculate the 5 hour/0.5 hour battery capacity for the charger requirement as follows:

Cap (5 hr) = (5 x Iq) + (0.5 Ia x 1.33) Ahr

= 5Iq + 0.66Ia where
Iq = quiescent current
Ia = alarm current

Note that the 1.33 multiplier increases the required capacity to allow for an alarm
load of up to 10 times the quiescent load (i.e. 75% derating of capacity).

4. Find the greater of Iq + In, or Ia. Calculate the power supply/charger requirement (Ic)

as follows and check that it is less than 3A. (If greater, a 6A charger is required).
Ic = I + Cap (5 hr) ÷ 24e where I is the greater of Iq + In, or Ia, and e is the charging
efficiency of the particular battery being used, at the current being used (typically
80%, i.e. (cap/24) x 1.25).

5. Calculate the battery capacity as follows:

Cap (24 hr) = (24 x Iq + 0.66 Ia) x 1.25
(See note 4 of Section 4.3.1 regarding the x 1.25 multiplier).

Select a battery which has a rated capacity (i.e. 20 hr rating) equal to or above that
just calculated. (Refer to Sections 3.3.3 and 4.3.4 for approved types).

4.3.3 EXAMPLE BATTERY/CHARGER CALCULATIONS

An example FP0781 FIP has the following configuration:

3 8ZMs total (i.e. 2 x FP0553 expansion modules fitted)
1 8RM fitted
20 AZCs enabled, 4 disabled
42mA total detector current on the 20 AZCs
350mA of door holders off +VNBF
5 relays on the 8RM used, with supervision enabled, all switching 24V, 50mA relays,
normally de-energised.
Ancillary relay 1 (on the MAF) switching a 24V, 100mA load

EXAMPLE BATTERY/CHARGER CALCULATIONS (CONTINUED)

An external 24V bell drawing 30mA.
A PA0765 T-Gen50 (Tones and Fault Monitoring) with a 16W speaker load.

Calculate the required battery capacity and check the power supply capacity.

Steps

1. The quiescent load (Iq) for the mains fail situation is:

130mA (FIP including one 8ZM)
+ 82mA (second 8ZM, all AZCs enabled)
+ 4mA (third 8ZM, basic current only)

+ 4 x 10mA (third 8ZM, current for 4 AZCs)

+ 42mA (detector current)
+ 6mA (8RM, supervision enabled)
+ 42mA

(PA0765 T-Gen with Fault relay enabled)

346mA

Say Iq = 0.35A for mains off.
The quiescent load for mains on is Iq plus the door holders (In = 0.35A) i.e. 0.70A. (It
was purely coincidence that Iq = In).

2. Say, for example, that the 2 zones in alarm can, at most, turn on 3 of the 5 module

relays plus the External Bell, the T-Gen Warning System and the Anc 1 load.

The alarm load for 2 zones in alarm is therefore:
275mA (FIP including 1 8ZM, 2 zone alarm, MAF relays)
+ 82mA (second 8ZM, quiescent only)
+ 44mA (third 8ZM, quiescent only)
+ 42mA (detector current)
+ 6mA (basic 8RM current)
+ 3 x 11mA (3 relays on 8RM)
+ 3 x 50mA (loads on 3 relays)
+ 100mA (Ancillary 1 relay load)
+ 30mA (Bell load)
+ 704mA

(T-Gen50 alarm load of 16/50 x 2.2A).

1466mA

Say Ia = 1.47A (the door holders are switched off in alarm).

3. Cap (5 hr) = 5 x 0.35 + 0.66 x 1.47 Ahr = 2.72 Ahr

4. Battery charger current required is:

Ia (1.47A) is greater than Iq + In, (0.70A), therefore:

Ic = 1.47A + (2.72/24) x 1.25 = 1.61A (where the 1.25 allows for charging efficiency e
of 0.8) i.e. 3A is sufficient.

5. Battery capacity

Cap (24 hr) = [(24 x 0.35) + 0.66 x 1.47] x 1.25 = 11.7Ah. (where the 1.25 allows for
battery deterioration over lifetime to 80% of new value).

Two 12V, 12 Ahr sealed batteries from the list in Section 3.3.3. are the smallest
batteries that are suitable.

4.3.4 BATTERY SIZE

The maximum battery size given in the specification, Section 3.3.3, of 220mm x 220mm x
175mm, is imposed by the Cardframe, which obstructs insertion and removal of batteries in
the bottom of the cabinet.

The maximum sizes which fit within this restriction are:

Century Yuasa PS-12400 40 Ahr
IRH BB Battery BP 40-12 40 Ahr
Panasonic LC-X1242P (AP) 42 Ahr
YHZ Power GP12400 40 Ahr
Yuasa NP38-12 38 Ahr

If batteries larger than this are required, then the Cardframe can be made removable by
replacing the 3 pop rivets with M4 or M5 screws and nuts.

For an FP0780/782, or an FP0781/783 with a removable Cardframe, the maximum allowable
size is 220H x 260W x 175D.

Fitting and removing batteries of this maximum size is difficult, and may require the removal
of any modules or brackets fitted in the bottom of the cabinet.

These very large size batteries may also impede the plugging in and removal of modules
fitted to the bottom position of the Cardframe.

Battery Combinations

Large capacity batteries can be made up of two parallel sets of 24V batteries of smaller
capacities. This allows easier fitting, and allows larger capacities, and a greater range of
capacity to be achieved than is possible with a single pair (as indicated above).

4.3.5 BATTERY OVERCURRENT PROTECTION

The MAF/PSU has two parallel PTCs, rated to carry over 3A, for battery overcurrent
protection.

Where the Alarm load from the battery to the FIP is greater than 3A (i.e. with mains failed),
or where a 6A power supply is used, an external, self-resetting, overcurrent device of
suitable rating (greater than 6A, less than 35A e.g. Derwent, 10A Type D (connected to pins
1 and 3)) must be wired between the battery terminals on the MAF/PSU and the battery (see
Fig 4.3.2). For this option the PTCs must be shorted by soldering a suitable copper wire
between the two adjacent test points +VB and BATT+ (TP11 and TP16 on the MAF/PSU).
For a FIP supplied with a 6A PSU, this is done in the factory and the Derwent cut-out is
included.

4.3.6 POWERING AN F3200 FROM AN EXTERNAL DC SUPPLY

To comply with AS1670.1 F3200 uses a 240Vac supply as the primary power source and
back-up batteries as the secondary power source. However the F3200 may be powered
from an external dc supply. This must be battery backed, or have another form of secondary
source to comply with AS1670.1. The supply must provide a voltage and current within
F3200’s operating range (preferably 25-27Vdc).

The following wiring instruction connects the dc supply voltage onto the ac (low voltage)
input so that the Mains on LEDs on both the MAF/PSU and Controller PCBs are illuminated.
Because this signal is not ac, the Controller interprets that as a ‘Mains Fail’ condition and
automatically disables the charger monitoring and automatic battery test, so that the latter
does not have to be disabled by programming (but can be if desired).

With no mains (ac) present the real time clock (RTC) on the Controller Display will use the
crystal time base instead of mains 50Hz and will therefore not be as accurate.

WIRING

Disconnect the secondary wires of the transformer from the AC IN tabs on the MAF/PSU.
Cable tie them safely out of the way (if the mains is not connected they will not be live).

Connect the DC supply –ve to the BATTERY – terminal, and the +ve to the BATTERY +
and, if the mains power on LED is to be lit to the J3/1 AC IN tab on the MAF/PSU. This
requires a 2mm crimp receptacle (or alternatively may be soldered and preferably covered
with sleeving).

If the maximum alarm load can be greater than 3.5Adc, but less than 7A, fit a second PTC
(Vigilant part RR0917) to the R43 position on the MAF/PSU (adjacent to the existing PTC,
R42). If the alarm load can be greater than 7A then short out the PTCs (connect TP16 to
TP11) and fuse the external supply with a sufficient rating to meet the maximum alarm load,
but not so high as to not blow on a short circuit or wiring fault.

The +VNBF output (J7A) must not be used.

CURRENT CALCULATIONS

Add an extra 80mA to the stated F3200 quiescent and alarm currents if the connection to the
J3/1 AC IN terminal is made.

PROGRAMMING

With a external DC supply the F3200 should be programmed with mains disabled and “Fault
after 8 hours of Mains Fail” also disabled.

With default programming, a Battery Low Fault will occur if the supply voltage falls below the
specified threshold. This may be disabled by programming. (The installer must consider the
requirements for a fault warning at 50% of battery capacity).

4.4 LINKS ON PCB MODULES

4.4.1 CONTROLLER/DISPLAY

Apart from E2INIT (SW1) and DATABASE WRITE PROTECT/ENABLE (Lk7) all links on the
Controller Display are factory set. (These configure the PCB for memory chips used, other
functions, and type e.g. as a FIP Controller or an RDU Controller).

SW1 and Lk7 are described in LT0256.

4.4.2 MAF/PSU

Of the 4 links on the MAF/PSU, 3 are for field adjustment as follows:

Lk2-Lk4 Bells/ANC 3 - Fitted in factory to provide switched 24V output.

(Bells+, Bells-) to drive the Warning System.

- Snip all 3 for clean changeover contacts (NO,
COM, NC).

Note that Lk2-Lk4 must remain fitted to provide the required supervision of the Warning
System. No links are required for Ancillary Relay 1 and 2 supervision as these have a
separate ‘Sup’ terminal.

One is for factory configuration as follows:

Lk1 Master/RZDU - Fitted for Master.

- Snipped for RDU (3-wire isolated connection to
FIP).

4.4.3 8 RELAY MODULE

The 8 three position links (Lk1-Lk8) select load supervision for each relay.
U <-> unsupervised (voltage free)

S <-> supervised

Note that in addition to setting the Minijump for supervision, supervision must be enabled
during programming (default).

4.4.4 16 ZONE LED DISPLAY

The last Display Bd in the chain (i.e. in furthest left position as viewed from the front)
requires the Minijump provided to be fitted to Lk1.

5.1 INSTALLATION

5.1.1 CABINET INSTALLATION

The location of the F3200 FIP is chosen by the Fire Authority and building owner (or owner’s
representative) in accordance with the Australian Standard AS1670.1.

If the cardframe needs to be made removable to allow fitting/removing
of large batteries, this should be done prior to cabinet installation. (Refer to Section

5.1.2).

The cabinet is normally fixed to a wall with four 6 mm screws or bolts. The drilling details are
shown in Fig 5.1.1.

The following conditions are required:

1. Dry Area, moderate ambient temperature, 45°C absolute maximum.

2. Not exposed to direct sunlight.

3. Not subject to outdoor conditions without suitable protection.

4. The LCD should be at average eye level and must not be higher than1850 mm or
lower than 750 mm above floor level (see Fig 5.1.1).

5. Clear access and viewing for Firefighters and operators.

6. At least 1 metre free space should be provided in front of and on sides of the FIP for
installation and maintenance.

7. Must not be installed in hazardous areas as defined in AS3000.

8. If recessed into a wall:

i. Allow for the door to open at least 145°.

ii. Prevent water entering the cabinet - seal unused knockouts and any top cable

entries. Preferably use bottom cable entry, with cables going down 100 mm
below cabinet before rising.

It should not be necessary to drill within the cabinet, but if drilling or filing is
required, remove the PCBs first. Clean out all swarf before replacing the PCBs.

Use antistatic precautions when handling the PCBs.

WARNING
The F3200 is a Class A product. In a domestic environment it may cause radio
interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

5.1.2 CARDFRAME INSTALLATION

A KT0072 Cardframe upgrade kit can be fitted to a 15U F3200 to allow it to take more than
three 8 way modules.

1. If the system does not require large batteries (refer to Section 4.3.4) it may be

fitted as follows, using a pop rivet gun and M4 nut driver. With FIP power not
connected, batteries not fitted.

1. Remove the gear plate.

2. Remove all 8 way modules.

3. Remove the 3 sets of PCB standoffs on the left side rear of the plate.

3. Remove the M4 nuts, washers and PCB spacers from the 3 M4 studs on the
left side of the plate.

4. Fit the Cardframe over the studs with the M3 bushes on the right hand side.

5. Refit the 3 PCB spacers, washers and nuts on the inside (do not yet fully
tighten).

6. From the plate rear, with the Cardframe firmly against it, insert the 3 pop
rivets provided into the holes in the Cardframe, and rivet.

7. Tighten the M4 nuts on the studs.

8. Refit the gear plate to the cabinet

2. If a system requires the Cardframe to be removable to allow the
fitting/removing of larger batteries, then the procedure is similar to that described
in 1a above, but, instead of pop rivets, M4 screws should be used as follows:

1. Use three M4 x 10 or M4 x 12 screws, with nuts, and shakeproof washers.

2. Fit the screws with the heads to the rear of the gear plate, washers and nuts

inside the Cardframe.

3. Put some Locktite (or equivalent power glue) under the heads of the screws

(but not on the threads).

4. Tighten the nuts on the screws initially holding the heads of screws.

5. Subsequent removal of the nuts (after the Locktite has dried) should be

possible without removing the gear plate.

5.1.3 MODULE INSTALLATION

The 8 Zone Modules and any 8 Relay Modules are fitted in order, from top to bottom. The
FRCs fit under each PCB, from BUS OUT of the top one to Bus IN of the next one (see Fig

5.1.2).

Observe the following:

(a) When mounting to the cabinet the M3 mounting screw per module should be

tightened firmly to earth the module.

(b) Modules and FRCs need to be fitted one at a time in the Cardframe. It is easier to

start from the bottom module and work up.

(c) Care should be taken not to scrape an FRC against the bottom of the PCB above it.

(d) There are redundant slots in the Cardframe to allow for either 6 module even spacing

or 8 module even spacing. Choose the correct slots.

(e) On the Cardframe finger tighten the single M3 screw firmly into the notch in each

PCB as this earths the module.

5.1.4 LED DISPLAY INSTALLATION

When LED Displays are required, the 7U inner door (ME0060) is fitted to the standard
cabinet directly below the 4U Operator Display with the M6 screws, washers and cage nuts
provided. The hinge is on the right hand side. Click the cage nuts in from the inside. (7U
doors cannot be fitted to a small cabinet).

The flat M6 washers have a sharp edge and a rounded edge. Fit washers to the screws with
the rounded edge facing the metalwork (to avoid damaging the paint).

The Display Bds mount to the inner door on the standoffs supplied. (FZ3031 for LH position,
FP0475 for others, both include the PCB, standoffs, FRC, power leads, diffuser and label
master).

Fit the FRCs and Minijump link as shown in Fig 5.1.3.

It is recommended that the LED Display power leads from the MAF/PSU be fitted.

5.1.5 ZONE LABELLING

Zone labelling for the LED Displays can be done simply on a typewriter or word processor.

Note: For a typewriter use a photocopy of the label supplied with the Display Bd.

The type format is:

(a) 6 lines per inch.

(b) 20 characters at 10 CPI or 24 characters at 12 CPI.

(c) 2 lines per zone window.

(d) 1 line between each zone window.

To install the zone naming label:

(a) Cut the typed label around the border, or cut the word processor sheet to 3mm to the

left of the text then 60mm wide and 220mm long.

(b) Loosen the 4 Phillips-Head screws holding the display window.

(c) Align zone text with windows.

(d) Tape top and bottom of zone label.

(e) Align clear, matt finish, light diffuser with the 3 columns of LED holes (next to the

label) with matt side in. Tape in place.

(f) Tape blank sheets to unused zone window(s).

(g) Replace display window and fasten the 4 screws.

DISPLAY BOARD CONNECTION

Note that a special loom (LM0092) is required to connect the first Display Board to the
Controller Board. This is included in the F3200 LED Display Kit (FZ3031).

For an NDU in New Zealand mode, if a NZ Display Extender board is fitted then it is added
to the end of the display board chain after the last 16 zone display board (if any) and link Lk1
on the last 16 zone display board must be NOT fitted. The NZ Display Extender does not
need a link fitted to it, its presence indicates to the NDU that it is the last board in the chain.
When programming the number of Display Bd, the Display Extender is not counted, but is
individually programmed as fitted/not fitted.

The Unprotected Termination board, PA0483, connects to the NZ Display Extender via FRC.
The NZ specific wiring connects to this Termination board.

5.2 FIELD WIRING

5.2.1 GENERAL

Cabling should comply with all the points in AS1670.1, Section 8.17. Note the requirements
for segregation and identification.

The cabling should, in general, be of not less than 0.75mm² cross sectional area, insulated
and have red PVC sheathing. Joins should only occur in enclosed terminal boxes, and it is
important that all terminations be good. I.e.

no bare wire protruding from the terminal;
no insulation inside the clamp part of the terminal;
wire not cut or "nicked" during stripping;
wire not soldered;
wire not "doubled back" in the demountable terminals with leaf type strain relief
clamps;
all terminals firmly tightened;
neat service loop;
goose neck where servicing requires cable movement;
coil of spare cable in wall/ceiling to allow for mistake/alteration.

Note that it is best to carry out parts of the initial survey during installation, in particular,
resistance and insulation testing.

W A R N I N G

Apart from the Mains supply to the FIP, only ELV cabling should enter the cabinet.

namely the Anc3/Bells relay, configured as Bell+/-, and the “Bells Isolate” key. It is now
typical for FIPs to control two outputs, i.e. a single External Bell (or Strobe), and a separate
building Warning System that produces tones to AS2220 or ISO8201.

The MAF module has 3 Ancillary Relays. Typically, Anc 1 is used for door holders, air­conditioning shutdown etc; Anc 2 is used for the External Bell; and Anc 3/Bells is used for
the Warning System. Wiring of the External Bell should be as per Fig 5.4.2 using Anc 2. The
Warning System is covered in Section 5.5. Anc 1 and Anc 2 each have 1 set of voltage free
contacts available on screw terminals, and a second set to which the screw terminals are not
fitted as standard. Where supervision of wiring is required, the supervision (SUP) input is
used as shown in the following figures.

Door Holder Wiring

Door holders are typically powered through normally closed contacts from the non-battery
backed supply (+VNBF). As door holders are inductive, a suppression diode should be fitted
between 0V and the door holder positive line.

Where door holders have individual manual release buttons, suppression should be fitted at
each device.

Observe polarity, the cathode of the suppression diode is connected to the
positive line.

Where supervision is required, the recommended connection is as shown in Fig 5.4.1 A or B
with a return from the furthest door holder. The alternative shown in Fig 5.4.1 A does not
supervise the loop.

The 24V relay used at the end of the loop in Fig 5.4.1 B only needs to switch low current.

"Door Holder" mode supervision "looks for" the presence of voltage when the ancillary relay
is de-energised.

Plant Relay/Solenoid Wiring

Where a plant relay is to be energised on Ancillary Relay operation it would typically be
powered through normally open contacts from a battery-backed supply.

If wiring supervision is required, it is connected as shown in Fig 5.4.2. "Load" mode
supervision looks for a resistance to 0V when the ancillary relay is de-energised. For a very
low resistance load (ref Specifications Section 3.4.2) a series diode must be fitted as shown.

Heavy Load Wiring

If a load greater than 2A resistive (1A dc inductive) needs to be controlled by F3200 then this
can be achieved with the addition of a 24V Bell Monitor Board (PA0494). This can switch up
to 5A dc (resistive) and supervises the load wiring for open and short circuit faults.

Further details for the Bell Monitor Board are contained in LT0190. A representative wiring
diagram is shown in Figure 5.4.3. If the load exceeds 2A dc then the power connection must
be taken off +VBF2 or directly off the battery terminals via a suitable fuse (but not the +VBF1
terminal). The fuse and wiring are supervised by the Bell Monitor Board, as it will generate
a fault if power to it fails.

5.5 WARNING SYSTEM WIRING

The typical configuration allocates the Ancil 3/Bells relay to drive the Warning System, and
has links Lk2-4 fitted so that a switched 24V output is available at the +/- terminals. The
supervision allows for up to 3 branches of wiring, with each requiring its own end of line
resistor (EOLR). The value of the EOLR varies with the number of branches such that the
combined total is always 3K3. The EOLR must be fitted at the end of each branch.

Branches
1 3k3
2 6k8
3 10k

The Ancil 3/Bells output can be used to directly control alerting devices such as sounders
(that generate tones to AS2220 or ISO8201), AVIs, strobes etc. If each device does not
have an internal series diode then a series diode must be fitted at each device, as shown in
Fig 5.5.1. The diode must be rated to carry the current of the device.

The AVI Mk2 includes a series diode and multiple units can be connected to a common line,
be supervised, and have the synchronisation wire inter-connected. Note the original AVI
(FP0628) requires an external series diode to be fitted at each device for a supervised
circuit. Multiple original AVIs cannot be synchronised because the sync line carries the
signal and is not supervised.

The Bells +/- output is limited to 2A dc resistive max. (Note that loads such as AVIs, Mini­Gens are considered resistive, whereas loads such as Solenoids and bells are inductive). A
load of up to 5A dc resistive can be accommodated by use of a Bell Monitor Board and a
separate, 6A dc, inline fuse. See Fig 5.5.6.

A relay on an 8 Relay Module can also be used to control and supervise a circuit of
evacuation devices. This is shown in Figure 5.5.3. Note that both poles of the relay are
needed and the relay needs to be programmed so that it doesn’t supervise the wiring when it
is activated (requires V2.09 or greater software). Although shown with only 1 circuit of
evacuation wiring, it can actually support two branches, using a 27k EOL resistor on each.

The Ancil 3/Bells relay can also be used to activate (and supervise) external tone generation
devices such as Mini-Gen, T-GEN, Microvac and QE90 this is covered in following sections.

MINI-GEN

The Mini-Gen has an internal diode and can be connected with up to three branches of
speakers as per the instructions included with each unit. The 10k EOLR fitted to each
speaker line must be rated at 2W and is supplied with the unit. Refer Fig 5.5.2. If less than 3
branches are required, 10K 2W is still fitted to the end of each branch, with the other EOLRs
being fitted to the +/- dc input terminals of the furthest Mini-Gen. Refer to the instructions.

The Mini-Gen can be link selected to produce an Alert tone, an Evac tone, an automatic
change from Alert to Evac after 1 minute, or an automatic change after 3 minutes. If desired,
it can be configured to produce Evac, with a relay switching the tone to Alert. For this, a mini­jumper is fitted to link V, and the supplied 3 way connector fitted to link A/B with normally
closed relay contacts shorting pin 2 to 3 (position B) to produce Alert. When the contacts
open, the tone will change to Evac. Note that this applies only to Mini-Gen Rev 3 bds with
V2.00 or greater software, and for internal wiring of the relay to the Mini-Gen (i.e. the Mini­Gen must be mounted within, or adjacent to the FIP.)

Installation & Wiring

T-GEN 50

The T-GEN 50 is permanently powered, requiring a supervised Alarm- signal from the FIP
rather than switched power. The BELLS- terminal can be used for this, refer Figure 5.5.7.
Alternatively, an Ancil relay on the MAF, or an 8RM relay can be used as per Sections 3.4
and 3.5 of the T-GEN Installation Instructions, LT0186.

Note that a 2k5 ELD (3k3 and 10k 1% in parallel) must be used for the BELLS relay, when
connecting to the ALM- input on T-GEN. Configure the T-GEN to NOT supervise its ALM­input (SW4 off).

Alternatively, an open collector output could be used, but the T-GEN will need to supervise
its ALM input and be fault supervised via an unused F3200 circuit input.

MICROVAC AND QE90

The Anc 3/Bells output can be used to activate a Microvac/QE90 and to supervise the link
for a fault condition. A 24V relay (e.g. PA0730 General Purpose Relay Bd) is required to be
mounted within the Microvac/QE90, and the wiring as shown in Fig 5.5.4.

Alternatively the Anc 3/Bells output can be made voltage-free (remove Lks 2, 3, 4 on the
MAF) and a spare 8 Zone Input can be used to supervise the Microvac/QE90. This
arrangement, shown in Fig 5.5.5, does away with the relay, but requires a 4-wire connection
and one spare input. The input should be programmed as a status-only zone and the fault
state included in the logic equation to generate a Warning System fault. E.g. for zone 16
WSF = Z16F.

A high level link can be achieved between the F3200 and QE90 using the RZDU
communications output. This is only suitable for when the F3200 and QE90 are co-located,
as there is no duplication of the cable. Details for this wiring are contained in the QE90
Installation and Commissioning Manual LT0088. In addition, the QE90 needs to be
supervised for a fault condition. This can be done as shown in Fig 5.5.5 using a spare zone
input or as in 5.5.4 using the Ancil 3/Bells output supervision.

5.6 MODULE RELAY WIRING

The 8 Relay Module relays each have one set of voltage free change-over contacts (ie one
pole) accessible via screw terminals, to switch plant equipment. The second pole of each
relay can be accessed by fitting a 3-way de-mountable connector block pair CN0488 and
CN0206.
There are two sets of four inter-connected, voltage free, looping terminals per module that
can be used for looping supplies onto relays or loads.
If the load switched is inductive e.g. a solenoid coil, a suppression diode must be fitted as
shown in Fig 5.6.1.

Supervision

Supervision of the field wiring from the FIP to the load is shown in Fig 5.6.1. This only works
for a single load, or multiple co-located loads wired in parallel (though for multiple co-located
loads, the supervision will not detect a fault if one load becomes disconnected). It requires
the load or an EOLR to be connected between the relay COM terminal and the FIP 0V, and
the supervision link on the module to be fitted in the "S" position. If the COM output does not
‘see’ a supply voltage or open circuit when the relay is activated (requires V2.09 or greater
software, then the relay must be programmed to not supervise the load when activated.

An example of supervising a circuit of multiple, separately located loads using 2 poles of one
relay is shown in Fig 5.5.3.

5.6.1 DUAL POLE – POLARITY REVERSAL OUTPUT

Two relays; or 1 relay, an open collector output and an external 2 pole relay (e.g. PA0730);
can be arranged to provide a supervised dual-polarity output suitable for driving dual strobes
(Alert and Evacuate) or some visual warning devices (e.g. an AVI). The output is normally
off (supervising voltage only), but can turn on with 24V in one polarity or in the other polarity.
This is shown in Figure 5.6.2.

If the dual pole relay is a second 8RM relay then the additional connector blocks need to be
fitted (CN0260 and CN0488). Supervision is not enabled on this relay. The supervision on
the other relay will detect any short circuit, but may not detect an open circuit with multiple
sets of strobes/AVIs. This will depend on the type of strobe/AVI and the quantity remaining
connected.

The relay should be programmed to operate when either strobe is required, and the open
collector output (or 2

nd

relay) is programmed to operate for Evacuate.

Note that many strobes have a large capacitor inside them that causes a large in-rush
current at power on. Therefore it may be necessary to add some series resistance if the
cable length to the first set of strobes is not enough to limit the current. Add 10-20 ohms for
a total strobe current of <100mA, 8-10 ohms for 100mA, and 2 x RR1007 NTCs in series for
300mA-1A.

Further details are contained in PBG0072A for using this to control a T-Gen as well, or to
include an Auto/Isolate switch that can activate the strobes as well as the T-Gen.

5.7 OPEN COLLECTOR WIRING

5.7.1 LED MIMIC DISPLAYS

It is expected that the most common use the open collector outputs will be to switch LEDs on
"mimic" displays. These outputs are approved for field connection, so may be used to
"drive" remote mimics. Typical connection is shown in Fig 5.7.1.

5.7.2 INTERFACING TO OTHER EQUIPMENT

Where the open collector outputs are used to switch inputs to other systems, such as an
Evacuation System or Plant Computer, there are two main options as follows:

1. Direct Coupling

The open collector output switches the equipment input to less than 1V (typically

0.6V at 1mA). E.g. it may be used to switch a 5V CMOS input, or monitored 5V, 12V
or 20V input. Refer to Fig 5.7.2.

Note that for this to work, the 0V supply of the equipment must be connected to the
0V supply of the FIP. This may not be desired, especially if the equipment has a
power supply connection to earth.

Note also that the open collector output has protection diodes to the FIP positive and
negative supplies and should not connected to inputs that could be "pulled" to a
voltage above or below these supplies, even with mains failed and battery voltage
low.

2. Isolated Coupling

The open collector output can be used to switch a relay, or an optocoupler as shown
in Fig 5.7.3. When the open collector is "on", the optocoupler transistor is also "on".

5.8 ASE INSTALLATION AND WIRING

A Centaur ASE may be mounted in an F3200 panel or an NDU in a large cabinet. Two kits
are available, namely KT0199 and KT0212. Both are 3U hinged front panels
accommodating 1 or 2 ASE or V-Modem units (or a combination) respectively. The kits
include mounting parts and fitting instructions.

The ASE should be wired directly off the battery via its own fuse. Wiring of the ASE FP0740
EOL unit is as per the ASE installation instructions. The red wires are wired across the MAF
Alarm relay NC and C terminals, the yellow wires across the MAF Fault relay NC and C
terminals, and the blue wires across the MAF Isolate relay NC and C terminals. No other
connections to these relays are permitted when the ASE EOL unit is used.

Locating the ASE remote from the panel has additional requirements under AS4428.1
(Clause 2.10) that currently cannot be met.

5.9 RDU WIRING

A FIP may drive up to 8 Remote Display Units (RDUs) that are programmed to send
information back to the FIP. More "monitoring only" devices may be connected to the FIP
RZDU Tx line. Some RDUs have their own power, but others require their power (24Vdc) to
be supplied from the FIP or an approved PSU with battery backup.

The RDUs are all connected in parallel on common Tx and Rx circuits. Star and Bus wiring
connections are permitted as shown in Fig 5.8.1.

NOTE: TX from the FIP goes to RX on ALL RDUs

RX from the FIP goes to TX on ALL RDUs

Fig 5.8.1 shows an example of interconnection between both MAF and Non-MAF configured
RDU(s) and the FIP.

NOTES: To maintain electrical isolation:

(1) Lk1 on the MAF/PSU Board should be cut for RDUs with their own

MAF/PSU module.

(2) Non-MAF configured RDUs that are powered by a PSU other than the

FIP must have Lk3 on the Remote Termination Board cut and Lk14 on
the Controller in the “R” position.

Cable Limitations

The maximum distance to the furthest RDU is determined by the cable type used and the
wiring arrangement.

(1) The MAXIMUM line resistance loop (FIP TX out, 0V return must not be greater than

150 Ω.

(2) The MAXIMUM inter-wire capacitance at the FIP RZDU terminals MUST NOT

exceed 100 nF. This must be the total of all cables used - not just the length to the
furthest RDU. Typically this is 1km of TPS cabling.

(3) The +V and 0V cables must be of sufficient size to avoid excessive voltage drops to

RDUs when they are drawing maximum current (e.g. lamp test).

5.10 NDU INSTALLATION AND WIRING

5.10.1 INSTALLATION OF 19" NDU

The NDU is available as a 19" rack mount kit (FP0794). This must be installed as follows to
meet the EMC requirements.

Using the RS485 board as a template, drill 4 x ∅3.5mm holes and deburr. Scrape away any
paint on the inside face and mount the metal standoffs using 4 M3 x 6 screws and
shakeproof washers. Mount the RS485 board onto the standoffs using M3 x 6 screws and
M3 crinkle washers. Mount the 4U inner door onto the 19" rack and earth to the cabinet
using the earth lead supplied.

Run the 10 way FRC from J7 (Network 1) on the Controller to J1 on the RS485 board,
keeping it tight against the cabinet metalwork by using FRC clamps. Run +24V to the J5
terminals on the Controller, and the network cables to J3 on the RS485 board. Connect any
screen on the network cables to the 0V ISO terminal on the RS485 board.

5.10.2 MCP CONNECTION

An NDU with a MAF/PSU board has an MCP connected to pins 3 and 4 of J6 on the
MAF/PSU board as standard.

A slimline NDU has the facility for connection of an MCP, but the MCP has to be mounted on
the wall, immediately adjacent to the NDU. Connection is made to pins 3 & 4 of J5, the 4
way "Spare Input Connector" on the NDU Controller/Display Bd. The wiring to the MCP is
detailed in Fig 5.10.1

5.11 NZ MODE INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

5.11.1 GENERAL

New Zealand mode operation may be enabled on an NDU but not on an F3200 fire panel.

An NDU with New Zealand mode enabled may be connected to a Panel-link network of
panels which also have “New Zealand” mode enabled. The NDU may be used with or
without a MAF board, and optionally with a NZ Display Extender board.

If a MAF board is used, the NDU may be used as the main brigade connection point of the
network. The MAF board has relays for signalling alarm (normally energised), fault (normally
de-energised) and standby (normally energised and normally wire-ORed with fault). The
MAF board also provides a supervised BELL relay, two supervised ancillary relays, and an
“isolate” relay; all of which can be controlled by output logic if desired.

5.11.2 NZ DISPLAY EXTENDER BOARD

The NZ Display Extender board, if fitted, is positioned at the end of the LED Display Board
chain (the last LED Display board should have Lk1 removed), or connected directly to the
controller J13 via an FRC (LM0092) if there are no LED Display Boards.

The New Zealand Display Extender board has the following inputs and outputs, accessible
on the PA0483 Termination board, as shown in Fig 5.11.1.

Inputs

Trial Evac/Sprinkler operated (separate terminals, but internally connected)
Silence alarms
External defect
Lamp test
Building services restore
Brigade test/brigade isolate (shared)
Evac defect

Outputs

Fire LED
Defect LED
Normal LED
Ancil defect
Ancil fire
Lamp

Evac Defect/External Defect

The Defect and External Defect inputs may be programmed as to whether a defect is
signalled for them or not. If defect is not signalled then they can be used as general purpose
inputs accessible in output logic.

Building Services Restore

When the Building Services Restore input is activated, the BSR logic token is set true and
this can be used in output logic to turn outputs off or on if necessary.

Installation & Wiring

DISPLAY EXTENDER BOARD (CONTINUED)

Trial Evac

When the Trial Evac input is activated, the Bell relay is energised and the BEL logic token is
set true regardless of any silence alarms or bells isolate condition.

Silence Alarms

When the silence alarms input is activated, the Bell relay is de-energised and the BEL logic
token is set false unless trial evac is asserted.

Brigade Test/Brigade Isolate

These conditions share the same input and when true, result in an “abnormal” system state
(but defect is not signalled) that can be recalled with a system fault recall.

Lamp Test

This input can be used to test all the LEDs including the front panel LEDs, the LEDs on the
New Zealand Display Extender board, the index lamp and any 16 zone LED display boards.

5.12 INSTALLATION : NZ DISPLAY EXTENDER BOARD

& BRIGADE DISPLAYS

5.12.1 GENERAL

An NDU is not normally used as a brigade connection point. If an NDU is used as a brigade
connection point then, in general, a separate display panel must be provided if there needs
to be zone alarm indication to the attending Fire Brigade staff. The common MAF status
display is provided by mounting an NZ Display Extender Board (PA0499) in the NDU cabinet
and wiring to a display in a separate cabinet in one of the ways shown in Fig 5.12.1 and

5.12.2.

Sixteen-zone display boards are not normally connected to an NDU, but the two diagrams
show how they can be connected if necessary. An NDU allows a maximum of four 16-zone
display boards and each individual LED (48 LEDs per board) must be controlled using output
logic which is generally too cumbersome for normal use.

The second cabinet is necessary because the LEDs mounted inside the NDU cabinet do not
meet the requirements of NZ4512 with regard to visibility and viewing access. An NLDU
(Network LED Display Unit), can often be used to more conveniently drive 16-zone display
boards and show individual zone information as part of the brigade mimic display.

Any Ancillary Control Zone indicators on this external display must be coloured differently or
be segregated from the zone alarm and common indicators, and be clearly labelled.

There are several methods for providing a separate display panel. Two approaches are
detailed below.

NOTE 1: The information provided here is very similar to the information in the RDU

installation manual LT0148 which may be useful to refer to.

NOTE 2: As stated above, 16 zone display boards are not normally connected to an

NDU, nevertheless, the following sections describe how to do it if necessary.
If an NLDU is used to drive 16 zone display boards, then the NLDU user
manual LT0188 must also be referred to.

5.12.2 MIMIC DISPLAY

A mimic display uses the mimic outputs from the NDU’s internal 16 Zone LED Indicator
Boards to drive alarm LEDs in an external display. Each group of 16 zone alarms and the
common indicators are extended in a separate 26 way FRC to the external display.

The number of FRCs between the NDU and the external display limit the practical separation
distance. Since the cabling is not supervised in any way, the Fire Service or approving
authority may place restrictions on this distance. The cable must be well protected
mechanically by conduit, trunking or equivalent.

These parts are available for constructing displays of this type:

Specially designed cabinets for Mimic Displays are no longer available.

Various FP1600 empty cabinets and the PA0787 FP1600 Mimic Display Board provide an
alternative format.

At the display panel there are two possibilities:

(i) Geographic Plan Mimic - the FRCs from the NDU are connected to Termination

boards (PA0483). Individual LEDs with series resistors are mounted on the display
panel and wired to these Termination boards. Figure 5.12.1 shows this arrangement.
Alternatively, the PA0769 Termination Board has 3k3 resistors already fitted (gives
7mA LED current which is adequate for interior use).

(ii) Column Format - where arrangement of zone alarms into columns is acceptable,

LED Mimic Display boards can be used. This simplifies the wiring considerably.
Figure 5.12.2 shows this arrangement.

Note that a special 3-way FRC is required for the Display Extender board, so that the
miscellaneous inputs are accessible in the NDU cabinet. This is not a standard part,
and will need to be made up to suit the application.

5.12.3 DISPLAY EXTENDER BOARD MISCELLANEOUS TERMINATION

The miscellaneous signals available through a NZ Display Extender Board are accessible
via a 26 way FRC and PA0483 unprotected termination board. A termination pin out
diagram is given in Fig 5.12.3. Refer to section 3 for electrical specifications of these
signals, and to section 5.11 for their logical functions.

6.1 AS1668 AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL

6.1.1 GENERAL

The following features of F3200 allow it to be easily adapted to make a Fire Fan Control and
Indication Panel (FFCP) (referred to as AS1668 which is the relevant Australian and NZ
Standard):

• 19" Rack mounting cabinet with standard light grey blank panels available,
including 9½U (plastic), 7U metal (hinged), 4U metal, 3U metal;

• Standard modules available which include a PCB module (3 options) with switch
and LEDs, a connector block for field wiring, and labels (see Fig 6.1.1).

• Programmable open collector output for driving LEDs (can enter logic equations
for RUN, FAULT, STOPPED);

• Programmable relays for fan controls;

• Programmable time delays on duct sampling AZCs, with RAD and SAD options;

• Programmable AZCs for control inputs with two useable alarm states plus normal

(plus faults) per AZC (i.e. logic equations can differentiate "manual" alarm
(instant) from "detector" alarm (alarm);

• Programmable zones, allows non-latching, non-MAF (non-FF), non­Bells/Ancillaries, status only (i.e. Fan Control Panel output relays can switch
AZCs and the corresponding zones can be programmed as "non-fire" zones with
optional levels of "transparency" within the Fire Alarm System e.g. Faults, Alarms
can be included/not included in the "totals" display and the "recalls").

The standard AS1668 PCB modules are held to the front panel (rear) by a nut on the
threaded shaft of the rotary switch which is attached to the PCB. The LEDs mount in black
plastic bushes and are soldered to the PCB (chrome bezel LEDs are available and can also
be accommodated by the PCB). The adhesive label is black on clear, and the standard
panels are light grey.

The standard colours for RUN, FAULT and STOP (stopped) are red, yellow and green,
respectively.

Kits KT0111-113 comes complete with an assembly instruction (LT0159) which includes the
circuit diagrams 1945-1-1 to 1945-1-4 also included in this section.

6.1.2 CIRCUITS & ZONES

FIP End Inputs

The "off", "auto" and "on" inputs from the AS1668 Control Module can be connected to 0, 1
or 2 AZCs as desired.

One AZC per fan control is cheaper, but does not allow the LCD zone text to display "fan off"
and "fan on", though the fan name can be put in the zone text, and for options A and C
following, the word "off" could be programmed as zone text so that "Manual" Alarm is "on"
and "off" Alarm is "off".

For option B, the text LCD would display "fault" for "off". Zone text would normally only be
viewed by a zone status recall as AS1668 control inputs will (generally) be programmed as
"status" zones (i.e. non-FFCIF).

Figs 6.1.3 and 6.1.4 show both options. Option 1 requires a Zener diode or a resistor (e.g.
560E) to give B2 voltage.

Note that the option shown in Fig 6.1.3 B ("off" <-> "fault") corresponds to the standard
AS1668 Module circuits 2, 3 & 4 (see drawings 1945-1-1/4 following) and so is the
"preferred" option for configuring with standard hardware.

CIRCUITS & ZONES (CONTINUED)

The option in Fig 6.1.3 A could be implemented by "tacking" the 560E resistor (or 6V8
Zener) onto the PCB. The 2 AZC option (Fig 6.1.4) could also be implemented by soldering
the extra resistor and wires onto the unused contact of the rotary switch on the PCB.

In all cases, "auto" is zone "normal".

Fan Inputs

The exact requirement depends on the particular fan motor controller, and the contacts
available (e.g. "Run", "Fault"). Commonly "Run" is provided by an air flow switch (AFS), and
is required to connect to an AZC so that it can become part of a logic equation (as per
circuits 3 & 4 of standard module 1945-1-1/4 following).

Applications

CIRCUITS & ZONES (CONTINUED)

Where a "Fault" contact is available, along with "Run", both can be put onto a single AZC
with the NO "Fault" contact shorting the AZC and voltage band B1 programmed as "Fault"
(refer to Fig 6.1.5 A). Alternatively, the NC "Fault" contact can be put in series for open
circuit Fault, and the NO "Run" contact can short the AZC, with B1 programmed as "Alarm"
(ZnD). (Refer to Fig 6.1.5 B). Note that in A, Fault overrides Run, and in B, Run overrides
Fault. The priority in B can be reversed, but not in A.

The zone should be configured as non-latching.

If a "run" contact is used to short a Zener across the AZC (i.e. run is B2 = Alarm) and the
normal state of the fan is "run", then the zone mapping to MAF should be configured as
"Status Only" so that the fan "Run" state is not shown in the "Totals" or "Alarm Recalls".

6.1.3 RELAYS

The exact number of relays per fan control and the logic required depends on the particular
building and air conditioning plant.

Typically, one relay is required per fan to switch an interposing relay in the fan control
equipment, with a possible logic equation as follows:

R5 = Z15D + Z15N.Z5A i.e. ("off") or ("auto" and duct alarm)
(ie. the relay turns on to turn the fan off).

Where: Relay 5 is the Fan Control relay for a normally running fan

Zone 5 is the associated Air Duct Smoke circuit

Zone 15 is the associated Fan Control switch circuit with ...

Z15D (band B2) = "Fan Off"

Z15M (band B1) = "Fan On"

Z15N (bands B3, B4) = "Auto"

Note that the zone range facility is useful in programming controls where selective,
automatic switching is required. E.g. if zones 1-10 correspond to ducts in levels 1-10 of a
building, and the logic requires Relay 5 to operate if Zone 5 is in alarm but zones 1-4 and 6­10 are not, the equation for R5 above would become:

R5 = Z15D + Z15N.Z5A.^ (Z1:4(1)A+Z6:10(1)A)

Note also, that if the interposing relay (fan control input) is 24V at less than 100mA then an
open collector (O/C) may be used as per circuit 1 of 1945-1-1/4 following.

6.1.4 LEDS

The 3 LEDs may be: switched directly as per circuits 1 and 2 of 1945-1; driven off 3 open
collector (O/C) outputs or driven off 2 O/Cs with a Zener diode as shown in Fig 9.1.6 and
1945-1-3. Note that where the FIP has a number of detector circuits, the open collector
outputs associated with these AZCs may be used for driving the AS1668 LEDs and so it
doesn't matter if the AS1668 panel requires more open collectors than circuits.

6.2 GASEOUS FIRE EXTINGUISHING

6.2.1 GENERAL

The following features of the F3200 make it well suited to gaseous fire extinguishing
applications as required by AS4214:2002.

• AZC Alarm Text for "pressure switch", "manual", can be used for the various inputs;

• Zones can be programmed as latch/non-latch, MAF/non-MAF as required, e.g. non-latch,

non-MAF, for "Gas Inhibit" input;

• Zone range operand allows easy programming of "voting systems" on detector circuits
e.g. 2 out of 3;

• Open collector O/Ps can be programmed to drive LEDs such as "Gas Initiated", "Gas
Inhibited", etc;

• Programmable timers included as standard (0-250 sec);

• Programmable relays, with supervision option;

• Operation not fixed by hardware, as virtually any required logic equation for outputs

(using AND, OR, NOT, XOR) can be entered;

• Fuse protected battery-backed supplies available via 2A fuse and 6A fuse;

• Standard hinged, screened 7U Gas control doors available complete with LEDs,

switches and looms for 1, 2, 3, 4 Gas Zones (Part Number ME0438 to ME0441
respectively);

• Standard non-hinged, screened 1U Panel as per above for 1 Gas Zone (Part Number
ME0442);

• Standard Local Control Stations (LCSs) and AVI warning signs available. (LCS includes
"Gas Start", "Gas Inhibit" switches, status LEDs). AVIs include selectable Alert and Evac
tones and can be ordered with lettering such as FIRE ALARM / DO NOT ENTER, etc.

Two standard F3200 panels are available factory-fitted and programmed for gaseous fire
extinguishing applications.

FP0877 FP,F3200 AS4428 FIP,STD CAB,6A,1U GAS CTL,PRE PROG

FP0876 is an F3200 assembled into the 8U cabinet (FP0784). It comes complete with the
ME0442 1 zone 1U gas control module and an 8 Relay Module. It has a 3A power supply.

FP0877 is based on a 6A (PSU) F3200 assembled in the standard 15U cabinet (FP0782). It
comes complete with an ME0442 1 zone 1U gas control module pre-wired to the 8 Zone
Module and an 8 Relay Module.

The gas control doors (ME0438-ME0442) are wired to provide 2-wire connections to the AVI
Mk2s. Drawings 1931-123 and 1931-124 show how these are wired to F3200 and the
external devices: AVI MK2, LCS, etc.

Special factory-assembled panels can be made to order to meet the specific requirements of
jobs.

6.2.2 LOGIC & CONFIGURATION

A commonly used logic diagram for a dual circuit (single gas zone) gaseous fire
extinguishing system is shown in Fig 6.2.1. This can be used with an F3200, ME0438­ME0442 gas control door, one or more Local Control Stations (FP0570), and multiple AVI
Mk2. The configuration and programming of F3200 is as follows.
