The Cooper analogue control panel system architecture
has been designed in such a way that future system
expansion, within a single-panel solution or as part of a
multi-panel network, can be achieved with a minimum
amount of system downtime.
Soft Addressing
The system ‘auto learn’ facility, once activated on initial panel
start up, will scan each loop and allocate an address number
to each loop device thus providing a simple yet efficient setup
procedure which alleviates the need for time consuming manual
device addressing and minimises potential problems due to
dual addressing. Each loop device has integral short circuit
isolators ensuring maximum loop integrity should a short-circuit
fault occur on the loop wiring.
Detection Capacity
Up to 200 addresses per loop can be installed, which can be a
mixture of callpoints, sensors, beam detectors, interfaces, loop
sounders or repeater panels. It should be noted that, to comply
with EN54 requirements no more than 512 addresses should be
connected to a single panel.
Alarm Capacity
Up to 60 loop-powered sounders, beacons or sounder beacons
can be connected per loop. With a full range of conventional
sounders and beacons, up to a total load of 1.5A can be
connected via the control panels four alarm line outputs.
Alternatively additional conventional sounders can be connected
via a CSC354 loop mounted 4-way sounder controller unit
remotely from the panel.
Interfaces
An extensive range of interfaces are available for the
Cooper range of analogue panels providing solutions
for most design requirements.
> Spur isolator available to allow loop spurs of analogue devices
> 3-way 24V rated input / output unit suitable for switching
low voltage control equipment
> Zone monitor unit, to connect zones of suitable
conventional detectors or loop-powered beam detectors
> Mains rated Input / output unit for switching mains
operated equipment
> Sounder circuit controller provides four additional,
programmable, conventional sounder circuits remote from
the main control panel
> Shop unit isolator allows the connection of a conventional
detection zone along with two conventional sounder
circuits, ideal for linking small self-contained units onto
a main addressable panel. The interface requires a 24V dc
power supply.
System Networking
The full range of Cooper analogue panels can be
networked together. When fitted with a network card, up to
127 panels and repeaters can be networked to form a single
co-ordinated system.
With larger networked systems, where long distances are
found, it is possible to connect networks using LON boosters,
fibre optic interfaces or IP routers.
When operating as a network system fire, fault and pre-alarm
information is transmitted across the network, as well as text
information, with evacuate, silence alarm and reset control
functions also permitted across the network. Network
configuration of the system, to permit or inhibit each signal or
facility, is achieved using the engineering menu on each panel.
Site Monitor/Graphics
Cooper Site Graphic is a versatile alarm management system
providing a comprehensive site monitoring and control package
of the installed fire detection system that interfaces to the
network of the Cooper range of analogue panels using a
network manager driver program. The site graphics dedicated
PC is connected to the network via an EC0232 interface.
