INSTALLATION INFORMATION
General
Installation of this product must be carried out using the
information given in this leaflet by a qualified electrician.
BEFORE INSTALLATION ENSURE THE ELECTRICAL
SUPPLY IS ISOLATED.
Installation of this product must be carried out using the methods
and equipment specified in BS5839 Pt1 and EN54.
Consult the supplier if the equipment is to be installed in an
environment where the ambient temperature regularly exceeds
30 ºC (86 ºF)
Mounting location considerations
The fire alarm control panel should be mounted near to a
permanent, low fire risk, Entry / Exit, for easy access by the
Emergency Services. The panel should not be mounted in direct
sunlight, or in a place where the ambient temperature is above
30
o
C (86oF)

1 MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 In order to minimise the installation time, it is strongly
recommended, that the following procedure is followed.
1.2 Remove plastic fascia by removing the two screws from
the top plastic cover.
1.3 Disconnect the two secondary transformer wires from the
terminals marked ‘AC~’ on the PCB. These are located on
the right-hand side of the fire panel.
1.4 Remove the two screws that hold the bottom plastic cover
in place, then lift away from fire panel housing. Store cover
assembly in a safe place to prevent damage during initial
installation.
Note:
DO NOT REMOVE THE PCB FROM THE
PLASTIC MOULDING.
1.5 Using the back box as a Drill template, mark through fixing
positions, prepare the fixing holes, and fit onto wall using
an appropriate mounting system.
Ensure the back box is not contaminated with drilling
debris, e.g. brick dust, as this can adversely affect the
electronic circuitry.
1.6 Prepare cable entries via the 20mm knockouts provided
in the top and rear of back box using appropriate glanding
system.
1.7 Remove any debris from the back box.
2 CONNECTING THE MAINS & BATTERY
2.1 Connect mains wiring to terminal block in the back box as
marked. Note: AN EARTH CONNECTION MUST BE
MADE TO THE TERMINAL BLOCK AS MARKED.
2.2 With the mains supply isolated, replace the lower plastic
cover assembly containing the PCB. Ensure the battery
wires are routed to the top left-hand side of the back box
and the transformer secondary wires are routed towards
the right hand side. The PCB locating holes should
engage on the metal mounting tabs shown in
figure 2.
2.3 Reconnect the transformer secondary wires to the PCB
terminals marked ‘AC’.
Note: Polarisation of this connection is unimportant
2.4 Fit and tighten the two securing screws that hold the PCB
moulding in place. Ensure that the moulding has properly
engaged at the bottom of the metal back box. Do not over
tighten two retaining screws.
2.5 Fit battery into left-hand side of the back box and connect
battery using leads supplied. Ensure correct polarity is
always observed.

DETECTOR ZONE CONNECTION
This fire alarm control panel is supplied with End Of Line
Resistor/s for the zone circuit/s. This is for use with just
manual call points (Break Glass) units, however if removable
smoke/heat detectors are used the End Of Line Resistor/s
must be replaced with Active End Of Line Device/s (ZF19).
Please note these units are polarised.
3.1 DISCONNECT MAINS SUPPLY & BATTERY.
3.2 Connect the zone wiring, one zone at a time, transferring
either the End Of Line Resistor or Active End Of Line
Device (ZF19), if removable smoke/heat detectors are
being employed. The ZF19 devices are polarised and
should be connected with Red/Orange wire to the +ve
and Black to the –ve. See Figure 3 & 6 for typical
application.
3.3 Repeat the above procedure until all the required circuits
are connected.
3.4 Connect the sounder wiring one circuit at a time,
transferring the end of line resistor to the last sounder on
that circuit.
3.5 Repeat the above procedure until all the required sounder
circuits are connected.
3.6 ReInstate the mains supply, enter access code then press
the ‘RESET’ button.
3.7 Refit plastic fascia. Do not over tighten two retaining
screws.
