Product specifications

Fixing the base to the wall
Using the five mounting holes provided (see figure 3 below), fix the base securely onto/into the wall. The
mounting holes are suitable for use with No.8-10, or 4-5mm countersunk screws.
A
ssess the condition and construction of the wall and use a suitable screw fixing.
Any dust or swarf created during the fixing process must be kept out of the fire alarm panel and care must
be taken not to damage any wiring or components.

CFP ALARMSENSE 2/4/8 ZONE FIRE ALARM PANEL
AlarmSense™ zone circuit wiring
Depending on the model purchased, two, four or eight AlarmSense™ zone circuit connections are available
on the fire alarm panel. A maximum of 25 AlarmSense™ detectors or manual call points can fitted to each
circuit and these can be mixed in any order. AlarmSense™ sounders may also be included in this 25, however
there are limitations to the number of sounders which can be used (please refer to page 8 for important
advice on sounder loading and distribution).
Only AlarmSense™ devices can be used on the zone circuits.
Figure 4 : Typical zone circuit wiring
Connect an end-of-line (EOL) capacitor (provided in the panel ’s accessory pack) across the terminals of the
last device on each circuit to allow the wiring to be monitored. Zones that are not used must also have an
end-of-line capacitor fitted at the panel.
Note that an open circuit fault on zone wiring will stop some or all of the detectors, manual call points and
sounders operating, and a short circuit will stop all devices operating.
For more specific device wiring information, refer to the instructions provided with the AlarmSense™
devices used.
The wiring for each zone circuit should be connected to the relevant 5mm connector block on the Main
Control PCB and their screens terminated at the panel ’s base earth post (see page 13 for more precise
second fix connection details).
