BASIC OVERVIEW & KEY FEATURES

The fire alarm panel features include the following:

• Two, four or eight AlarmSense™ zone circuits (dependent on the model purchased);

The design of the panel’s zone circuits allows AlarmSense™ detectors, manual call points and

sounders to

be fitted across the same two zone wires (conventional panels typically use four wires, two for the

detectors/call points and two for the sounders). In many installations it is more cost-effective to install a two

wire system rather than a conventional four wire system due to savings in cabling and installation labour. It

should be noted that no other type of device is compatible with the Zone circuits except AlarmSense™

detectors, AlarmSense™ manual call points and AlarmSense™ sounders.



• Four conventional sounder circuits (designed for use with non-AlarmSense™ sounders);

• A flush or surface mountable plastic lid and enclosure;

• A wide range of secure user functions (as detailed in the separate User Manual/Log Book) including the

ability to disable/enable a large number of system functions, as specified in EN54;

• Keypad and keyswitch entry to access authorised user controls (access level two);

• A wide range of engineering functions, including:

Selectable zone delay facility

Non-latching zones facility. Note: This function is non-compliant with EN54-2.

Coincidence (double-knock) facility. Note: This function is non-compliant with EN54-2.

Zone test facility

Programming silenced sounders to resound, or not resound, when new zone in alarm

Comprehensive fault diagnostic facilities

• The following optional EN54 Part 2 features:

Output(s) to fire alarm devices (Clause 7.8). Four conventional sounder circuits are provided to drive

external alarm sounders.

Delays to outputs (Clause 7.11). A delay facility (selectable on a zone by zone basis) is provided to delay

the alarm sounders, remote fire and/or auxiliary outputs.

Test condition (Clause 10.0). A zone test facility is provided.

• The following features that are not required by EN54 Part 2:

Reset output (RESET) open collector output which provides a signal to reset any part of the fire alarm

system (if required) whilst the panel is being reset.

Remote output (REM) open collector output and Auxiliary fire relay output (AUX) which provide a signal to

any part of the fire alarm system that needs to be activated during a fire alarm condition.

Two (non-latching) auxiliary input connections; ‘class change’ and ‘alert’.

• A Fault relay output (FAULT).

Important Note: It is possible for the panel to determine if an AlarmSense™ Manual Call Point, or an

AlarmSense™ detector has triggered a zone into alarm. This allows the system to be optionally set up so

that, if required, the activation of a manual call point will override delays and coincidence.

Relevant standards:

EN54 Part 2 (Fire detection and fire alarm systems, control and indicating equipment)

EN54 Part 4 (Fire detection and fire alarm systems, power supply equipment).

Please note, some of the engineering functions provided on the panel go beyond the scope of EN54 Part 2.

A caution symbol (left) is used to indicate where such a function is non-compliant with EN54-2.
