FIELD MODULE INSTALLATION

Firstly, install the field modules (detectors, manual buttons, input and output modules, audible and optical fire alarms) as shown in the fire alarm system design.
Connect the field devices using specific fire alarm wires that meet the following specifications:

• Suggested cable: 2 x 1.5mm2 shielded
• Maximum length: 2000m
• Cable total resistance: less than 100Ω

The wiring of each detection line of the system can be in class A (loop line) or class B (open line) according to the design and regulations of the country where the fire alarm system is being installed.
Analyses the critical situations which, in the event of a line failure (short circuit and/or line opening), could cause an excessive number of devices to go out of service.
For the mechanical, electrical and location installation of each device, refer to the design and technical documentation accompanying the device and follow the manufacturer’s information and instructions.

INSTALLING THE CONTROL PANEL

The control panel is intended for indoor use and designed to be mounted on the wall. It must be positioned at a height that facilitates both keypad use and optimal viewing of the display.
Use four screws and 6-mm dowels (not supplied) to fix the control panel to the wall.
Several openings are provided in the bottom of the casing for passing through the wires coming from the field, such as the de tection lines and the various low-voltage connections with other devices in the system.
A pre-cut hole is provided in the bottom of the casing for passing through the mains power wire.

Mains power
Use the pre-cut hole in the lower part of the control panel casing to pass through the mains power wire.
Fix the mains power wire to the bottom of the casing using the cable tie (supplied).
Connect the phase (F), neutral (N) and earth (GND) conductors to the respective terminals of the AC/DC converter power supply unit.
It must be possible to cut off the mains power (both phase and neutral) upstream using a suitable external disconnector with a contact separation of at least 3 mm.
It is advisable to keep the power wires separate from the low-voltage wires and connections of the fire alarm system.

Batteries
There are two sealed lead batteries with a capacity of 12Ah and a voltage of 12V inside the control panel.
The battery to be used must:

• Be of the VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) type
• Have an enclosure with flammability class UL94V-1 or better
• Be compliant with standards IEC 60896-21:2004, IEC 60896-22:2004

The batteries replacement must be performed by qualified personnel only.
The batteries must be connected in series and connected to the +BAT and -BAT terminals of the control module (MCC) using the supplied wires.
After establishing the electrical connection, apply the temperature probe on the batteries and secure them with the clips on the bottom of the casing.

Detection circuits

Use the holes at the bottom (wall side) to pass through the wires of the detection circuits and the various services.
Each loop-type detection circuit must be connected, respecting polarity, to the SLC LA and LB terminals near the respective circuit module.
In the case of an open line, connect to terminals LA or LB (at most for two open lines connect max. 128 devices in total to terminal s LA and LB).
The detection circuit screening must be connected to the metal bottom of the control panel connected to electrical earth.
For loop lines, only one end must be earthed and the other left unconnected.

SWITCHING ON THE CONTROL PANEL AND INITIALISING THE LINES

With the system fully wired, including batteries, power the control panel through the mains disconnector. The display will switch on and the “power” indicator light will appear on the front panel of the control panel.
Wait for the fault message prompting you to update the time and date of the internal clock of the control panel to appear. To update the clock, enter the service menu by pressing the “MENU” key. Enter the default password “22222” followed by the “OK” key pressing the keys on the display.
After updating the clock, press the “RESET” button and wait for the message “MONITORING NOT POSSIBLE” to appear on the display.
Then switch to the programming phase using the “MENU” key.
Select “[1] PROGRAMMING”, confirm by pressing “OK”, enter the password “33333” and press the “OK” key.
In the main programming menu, press the “ACK” button to acquire the programming step and switch off the buzzer.
Proceed with line initialisation by selecting the following items “[1] CIRCUIT”- “[2] CONFIGURE SINGLE CIRCUIT”.
Enter the number of one of the lines to be initialised and confirm with “OK”.
Select the loop or open line configuration type and then the initialisation mode “[1] AUTO-ADDRESSED MODE”. Press “OK” to confirm.
The control panel will initialise the selected line and at the end it will display the list of detected devices. Press the “OK” key is confirmed.
Press the “ESC” key several times to go back to the line number entry screen and allow other detection lines to be initialised.
In the event of errors or line faults signalled by the control panel, refer to the installation and/or programming manual for details of the error or fault.

Functional check – monitoring phase
At the end of the initialisation phase of all the lines, a functional check can be carried out on the entire system to validate all the connections.
To do this, it is necessary to start the scanning phase, i.e. the functional phase of the fire alarm system during which all the devices are controlled and monitored to perform the required measurements (smoke detection, temperature control, alarm generation by manual button, etc.).
Before scanning, however, it is necessary to associate all devices, with the exception of output modules and fire alarms, to a zone other than the default zone (480).
To do this, go to programming and in the “[2] ZONE” menu (accessible from the main programming menu) select “[2] ASSOCIATE DEVICE TO ZONE”.
When prompted to enter the zone number, press key 1 followed by “OK” (zone no.1).
Select the line on which the devices are present and press “OK”.
The first device available on the selected line will be displayed and associated with zone 1 by pressing the “OK” key again.
The next device on the same line will be automatically displayed. In turn, it can be associated with zone 1 by pressing the “OK” key again, and so forth.
The association procedure for devices in the current line ends when the first device in the line, already associated with zone 1, is displayed again.
In this case, press the “ESC” key and enter the next line for the association of the devices to zone 1 and so forth for all the lines of the fire alarm system.
When you have finished associating all devices on all lines to zone 1, press the “ESC” key until you reach the return scan request menu that can be opened by pressing “OK”.
During the scanning phase, the date and time will be shown on the display if all connections are correct but no error or faul t messages will be displayed. Let the system run without any active event for a few minutes, then switch back to the programming phase and proceed to the logical programming of the fire alarm system.
Refer to the installation and/or programming manual in the event of faults.

Programming from the control panel
The programming phase is used to configure the behaviour of the control panel in managing input devices (detectors, input modules, manual buttons) and output devices (output modules, fire alarms) in managing and signalling a fire alarm condition.
Refer to the programming manual for a detailed description of the functions and possibilities offered by the control panel.
Programming from personnel computer
The control panel can also be programmed and configured using the configurator software, by directly connecting a PC through the USB port. Proceed by reading the configuration present in the control panel by downloading it to the PC.
Configure all the features of the fire alarm system and save the configuration on the PC itself (programming can also be done with the control panel disconnected from the PC).
Finally, transfer the new configuration present in the PC to the control panel to end the configuration process.
Refer to the programming manual and the configurator software for a detailed description of the functions and possibilities offered by the control panel.
