INSTRUCTION MANUAL – 4 to 8 ZONE FIRE ALARM PANEL
Introduction
The Premier Elite 4 to 8 zone panels have been designed to meet the requirement
of an easy to use fully functional fire alarm control panel.
It is available as either a 4 zone panel, 6 zone panel or an 8 zone panel.
Each version has 2 sounder circuits, an alarm relay , and a fault relay.
The sounder circuits can have a programmable delay set.
There is an option to add a zonal output board, which can be used to drive zonal
relays, or a hard wired repeater panel.
There is no configuration, simply connect the detectors & sounder s and apply
power.
The Premier Elite range also includes a low cost 1 & 2 zone version These panels
are NOT covered in this manual. They have a separate manual.

Mains & Battery
Connecting the mains.
The Mains supply to the FACP is fixed wiring, using
Fire resisting
(Between 1 mm² and 2.5mm²) or a suitable 3-conductor system, fed from an
isolating double pole switch fused spur, fused at 3A.
IT SHOULD NOT BE
CONNECTED THROUGH AN RCD. This should be secure from unauthorised
operation and be marked ‘FIRE ALARM: DO NOT SWITCH OFF’. The supp ly must
be exclusive to the Fire Panel.

Charger Short Circuit Protection
The Premier Elite has an intelligent charger, that senses if too much current is being
drawn (for instance in the case of totally discharged batteries, or the charger leads
being shorted together). In such an event, the Premier Elite 4-8 zone panel will turn
off the power to its charger circuit.
The panel also turns off the charger when the batteries are disconnected.

When common bases are used, call points should be connected to the start of the zone, so that
removing a detector head will not remove power from the call points.
Diode Bases
The Premier Elite 4-8 zone can also be used with diode bases. Diode bases allow call points &
detectors to be mixed on the same zone without any restrictions. The diode (also known as a
continuity diode) passes power to the downline detectors and call points, if a detector head is
removed for any reason.
Zone Short Circuit Protection
The Premier Elite 4-8 zone panel has a higher zone output current than the 1-2 zone panels. This is
to allow them to drive larger zones, and zone powered beam detectors etc.
In order to protect the panel in the event of an overload, the panel will turn off the zone voltage if the
current in that zone exceeds 70mA. The panel will then try to restart the zone during the next “Open
circuit monitoring cycle”. These occur once every 60 seconds.

Setting a Sounder Activation Delay
On the Premier Elite there is the option to delay the sounder activation in the event
of a fire. This might be useful in schools or clubs where the responsible person
might want to verify the alarm, before having a “mass evacuation” of the building. A
false alarm can be reset before the sounders operate. If it is a true alarm, the
sounders can be started before the timer finishes by pressing the DELAY
OVERRIDE BUTTON.
To set a delay open the panel door using Alan Key provided and set switch 7 (

Other Connections
The Premier Elite also has the following connections:-
Fire Relay
The Premier Elite has one volt free change over relay that operates on an
alarm. It is rated at 1Amp, SELV. The relay remains operated until the panel
has been reset.
Fault Relay
The Premier Elite has one volt free change over relay that operates on any
fault condition. The Relay is Normally energised, so that it gives a signal in the
event of total power failure (Mains & Battery back-up). It is rated at 1Amp,
SELV. The relay remains operated until the fault has been cleared.
Class Change Input
The class change input on a Premier Elite 4-8 zone F.A.C.P. will remotely
operate the sounder circuits.
The Class change terminals should be connected to a normally open contact,
that closes when the sounders are required to sound.
Historically it was used to ring bells in school momentarily to signal end of
lessons, and lunch break.
It can also be used as a simple way of linking 2 control panels. You would link
