General
The control panel is a micro-processor controlled, conventional fire alarm control system, comprising of
one circuit board, plus add on modular circuit boards, for additional zones (extendable version only).
The enclosure consists of back box and hinged, removable lid. Constructed of 1.2mm (18swg) zintec
mild steel and powder coated in textured light grey. The enclosure is designed to give protection to IP30
level.
Control panels are available from 1 to 4 zones. They are supplied as a one zone non extendable
control panel or a one zone extendable control panel. The panel is extended using either the hy-spec
single zone cards, which consist of one zone, one sounder circuit and one aux relay, or a three zone
budget zone card which consists of just three zones on a single card plus zone +ve for 3 wire
connections.
A 4 zone repeater is available and requires one core per zone plus three additional cores.
These panels are designed to comply with the requirements of BS EN 54 part 2 1998, but include
integral facilities to enable connection to older systems, which may not comply with current standards.
