available at this level. The installer may add and remove sensors, control events, print, etc. To access the connectors and main electronic parts of the fire panel, a screwdriver is required. Level 4: This level is reserved for the manufacturer's staff i.e. GE Aritech personnel. Changes in the operation of the fire panel may be performed and special tools and software are necessary. 2.3 Features and functions The FP1500 series share features and functions within the two models, FP1501 and FP1502.
3 INSTALLATION OF THE SYSTEM This chapter describes the installation process step by step, from fixing the fire panel to the wall to connecting each of the possible components of the system. Follow each of the listed procedures carefully. 3.1 Installation tools For installation: A flat screwdriver for connectors and a Phillips screwdriver for the star-headed screws of the front casing, wire-stripping pliers and, multi-meter (tester) is required.
3.2 Panel positioning For optimum operation and maintenance of the fire panel, several factors must be kept in mind when deciding on the installation position. The location must be protected by the fire detection system. Temperature should be controlled between 5 and 40º C and the relative humidity must not exceed 95% (without any condensation). The location must be sheltered to avoid possible jolts or vibrations and away from cable runs that could cause interference in the communications. 3.
3.5 Electrical connections and cables The fire panel must be connected to the mains through an external bipolar magneto-thermal switch. The mains cable must have a minimum section of 1.5 mm² and the voltage must be 110 VAC or 230 VAC. To avoid potential short-circuits and electromagnetic interference the mains cable must be kept away from the loop connection cables and from the communication ports. To protect the connections, the use of PG11-type cable adapters or seals is recommended.
For your safety, the order in which the power is reconnected must be: Mains first, then the batteries. Do not connect the fire panel to the mains until you have completed the commissioning procedure (See chapter 5). Connect the mains on the outside of the cabinet and with an adequate earth connection. The earth cable should be the longer of the three cables. Figure 7. FP1500 mains connection X 110 VAC Y 230 VAC 1. Mains fuse 2. Mains fuse 3. Neutral 4.

All the elements are connected to two wires that exit from the fire panel and return back to the fire panel again.
• Connect the output wires to points O+ and O- and the return wires to R+ and R-. The colouring of the cables helps to distinguish between (+) and (-). • Connect the ground cable or shield to the ground terminal. Be careful to connect only one of the ends, either the output (O) or the return (R) one. It is important to have continuity in the shield at each of the connections of the loop.
Each connection of the loop must give continuity to the shield. The loop ground connection R+ R- O+ O- End of shield well protected If necessary, the fire panel has an auxiliary 24 VDC output. It allows powering of additional elements that cannot be powered from the loop. It is also possible to connect such elements to an independent power supply. 3.5.4 Connecting sensors The analogue addressable sensors are the elements of the system that gather the information.
All sensors must be installed in clean environments. During construction and refurbishing work, they must be protected to keep them from being damaged and/or contaminated. When you have identified the detector type that better fit the protection need, the installation process can start. Installation is the same for any kind of sensor: PG700 Portable unit for all types • Install the connection base DB304 (See Instruction Manual). • Once base DB304 is installed, connect it to the loop.

On each of these outputs, supervised sirens may be connected with a total consumption of 300 mA. The installation and connection procedures are as follows: 1. Install the cable connecting any polarized siren (or with a corresponding diode) as required (without exceeding 300 mA). 2.
3.5.7 Connecting relays Relays outputs can be connected to the corresponding sockets on the main board (the ones furthest to the left). It is important to ensure that the terminals are tightly fixed. Figure 13. Connection of relays on the main board RELAY1 NA NC C NA NC C RELAY2 The relay output has three terminals: C: common NA: normally open NC: normally closed The EN54 standard requires a normally activated (fail-to-safe) fault relay. One of these relays may be used for this function (See section 4.

For this reason, Alarm 2 must be adjusted to a time longer than Alert 1, to give the user time to investigate the cause of the alarm and take the appropriate decisions.
4.2.3 Configuration of the network The FP1500 allows the interconnection of up to 10 control units and/or repeaters on a network. The connection of control units is made through the RS485 serial port on the main board. Figure 15. Connection for RS485 The cable must be connected on the A and B terminals of each of the control units on the network. (See section 3.5.1) To avoid communication problems, you must install a 150-Ohm / ¼ W resistor on the first and last control units. Maximum 1.

5 COMMISSIONING OF THE SYSTEM Finally, the analogue detection system has been installed. Before powering it up, you must check the control unit works correctly. Follow all the steps set forth in this chapter. 5.1 Checking the system Before supplying power to the control unit, check all the following points. • Check that the control unit has been correctly mounted (See section 3.3). • Check the loops, ensuring that there is no cut or short circuit. Use the tester to check the continuity of the line.
• The general parameters are adjusted Choose language (See section 4.1) Standby and General Fault Message (See section 4.1.1) Adjust Time and Date (See section 4.1.2) • Configure loops (See section 4.1.3) Auto-search (See section 4.1.3) From the external PC, configuration software: (If you do not have a computer, it can also be configured through the control unit panel) • Editing of Zone (See section 4.1.4) • Editing of Texts (See section 4.1.5) • Editing of logic lines (See section 4.1.
• Disconnect half the installation and perform the auto-search. If the control unit functions correctly, the problem is to be found in the other half. If it does not function correctly, the problem is to be found on this section and you should shorten the installation until you find the point of conflict. Open circuit or short circuit fault in the loop: During the cabling of the loop and/or the installation of sensors, there may be an open or short circuit fault.
5.4.5 Out of service The LED on the front of the control unit displays “Out of service”. This warning is given when there is a lack of power supply and the voltage of the batteries, after a prolonged period of functioning, drops below a certain level (22 V), which does not guarantee the correct functioning of the control unit. To solve the problem you can: • Change the batteries • Get power supply It is recommended you disconnect the system if you cannot find an immediate solution. 5.4.
6 MAINTENANCE Fault repair and maintenance must be carried out by qualified personnel only. Adopt the maintenance measures recommended in EN54-14 and any other applicable local authority laws and requirements. Daily Maintenance: 1. The control unit must indicate normal functioning. Otherwise, the faults must be noted down in the register book and the maintenance company called. 2. Check that any previously noted fault has been corrected. Monthly Maintenance: 1.
Batteries: Even though the batteries test OK, it is recommended they be changed every four years.
Replacing components All the components used in this control unit have been chosen to obtain a highly reliable and long-lasting product. However, the manufacturers of the products referred to below indicate that their expected lifespan is below 15 years and they may therefore need to be replaced in the future.
