Connections on the FM4000 main board
SAB CONNECTION TO THE FM4000
The Panel may be temporarily sited whilst
a test is carried out to verify the reception
from distant detectors.
When satisfied the panel must be fixed
using the three fixing points provided.
Mains supply to the control panel must be
provided by a competent electrician to the
current issue of the IEE regulations.
A 12v sealed lead acid stand-by battery
should be connected, after all wiring has
been completed and tested. 12v 1.9AH is
recommended.
5. Program detectors onto the panel
Each detector has an internal "Learn"
jumper.
To add a detector to the system:
Go into the engineer program. Select the
zone number. Short out the learn jumper on
the detector. Remove the learn jumper after
programming
The detector transmits its identity together
with a learn bit. The panel stores the detec-
tors identity code and adds it to the chosen
zone.
(Refer to engineer programming section)
6. Carry out range test
If you keep a 4174 remote control for testing,
you can program this onto the system and
then go to each detector location in turn and
verify that the control can be armed and
disarmed from all detector locations.
7. Mount the detectors
Refer to the detector instructions for recom-
mended mounting positions.
As reflections from metalwork act to cancel
the transmission, avoid siting near to any
metalwork.
Reflections like this can often be overcome
by a small movement in position of 15 to
20cm.
8. Making panel program changes.
Complete a system record sheet before mak-
ing any changes.
Once programmed the program is stored in
none volatile memory, so data will remain
stored even in the event of complete power
failure.
9. Radio test using the RSSI output
To measure the signal strength received from
a detector.
i) Connect a Voltmeter to the RSSI output
terminals.
ii) Press the reset button next to the RSSI
terminals. The voltmeter should now read zero
volts.
iii) Go to the detector and operate the learn
jumper.
iv) Return to the panel. The voltmeter now
displays a voltage representing the strength of
the transmission received.
It will ignore any other transmissions and
only respond to the learn message or a Panic
or Off message from a remote control or panic
button.
The voltage reading should be a minimum of
1.0v.
The readings for each detector can be re-
corded on the system record sheet for future
reference.
10. Full system test
A walk test facility is provided in the Operating
instructions. This may be used to do a test of the
detectors only.
Once the Sounders and dialler have been
connected and the installation completed a full
test with remote signalling should be carried
out.
