Description

The following description does not relate to specific cabinets as the size of each cabinet will vary with the amount of hardware fitted.

The heart of the

FireFinder

consists of two boards collectively known as the Controller. These boards are the Main Board (BRD85MBA) and the CPU board (BRD85CPU). Combining these two boards with a front panel (302-690) forms the basis for a

FireFinder

FACP. A single

FireFinder

Controller without an expansion board has the capacity to interface to four (4)

FireFinder

Slave CPU’s modules. Each of these

Sla ve CPU’s can interface to 16 Zone Conventional Termination Boards, Loop Termination Boards or

Input/Output Boards as well as communicate with the Brigade / PSU Monitor Board (302-673).

The Main Board (BRD85MBA) has the Slave CPU Board for the first Loop Termination Board and the provision for mounting of up to three additional

FireFinder

Slave CPU’s. The

FireFinder

Slave CPU’s all have the same software installed and the manner in which they operate is automatically determined by the type of termination or interface board onto which they connect.

If the system is to be expanded to have more than four Slave CPU’s an Expansion Board (302-688) is required. This board contains

FireFinder

Slave CPU No. 5 and expansion sockets for three more. This configuration allows for a maximum number of

8 Slave CPU’s that any one Controller can accommodate.

If a system is required to be expanded beyond eight Slave CPU’s then either local networking using up to a total of four controllers (max 32 Slave CPU’s) within the one cabinet may be fitted or external networking must be used.

The

FireFinder

has an internal ASPI ( Ampac Serial Peripheral Interface ) serial bus. This serial bus provides interfacing to the Brigade /PSU Monitor Board and if required up to eight (8) Sounder Board/s

(302-7420/1).

FireFinder

has a second serial interface that connects to ancillary boards that can be designed into a system to control / monitor field plant / equipment and agent release .

Where the system design exceeds the capability of one

FireFinder

then other

FireFinder

panels can be networked together to provide an expanded system containing multiple boards in a variety of applications.

Some of these applications include:

A Master / Slave (Main Sub) FACP arrangement (MFACP / SFACP)

A Peer to Peer System

Use of Data Gathering Panels (DGP’s)

LCD Annunciators

LCD Repeater Panels (LCDR)

SmartGraphics

A Network

FireFinder

System supports a combination or all these options on a single network. Each panel on the network is regarded as a “node”. The NETWORK BUS can be accessed using either a

Network Interface Card (NIC 302-724) and/or Controller Interface Card (CIC 302-725). Modules that are supported on the network are Remote LED Mimic Board (302-715), Remote Liquid Crystal Display

Repeater (302-720, 302-721), remote

FireFinder

main panels and other

FireFinder

remote data gathering panels. The network configuration determines whether a NIC or a CIC or a combination of both is required.

Page 5

FIREFINDER

TM

INSTALLATION COMMISSIONING & OPERATION

Master / Sub FACP :

Where there are one or more FACP’s configured as local panels then each report the status of their associated zones/devices to a MFACP. There is no control between local panels as the MFACP is structured to have full control of the entire system.

Peer to Peer : Each FACP is regarded as a Master FACP and therefore a user can take control of the entire fire system from any FACP.

Data Gathering Panel : The use of this type of panel may be installed where there is a need to have field terminations only at one location and all control is performed by an FACP that is remotely located.

LCD Repeater Panel :

The LCDR’s are network compatible and provide the user with the ability to monitor the status of designated areas or an entire site as well as execute specific interrogation tasks.

5.1 Unpacking

Carefully unpack the

FireFinder

.

The package should include:

FireFinder

003 keys

Fire Alarm Control Panel

An Operators manual

5.2 Anti-Static Precautions

To prevent damage to components, modules and boards, anti-static precautions MUST be observed while performing any task within the FACP. The same applies to those situated in the field

5.3 Working On The System

Prior to unplugging any connector, connecting or disconnecting any wiring, removing or replacing any module or board ensure that both the Mains and Batteries have been isolated to prevent damage to panel components.

5.4 The Cabinet

Features:

The cabinet is available in three different styles. Each style has the capability of being either surface or flush mounted. With flush mounting though a surround is required.

Normally painted Arch White Ripple. Other colors are available on request.

The inner and outer door hinges are mounted on the left-hand side of the cabinet which allow the doors open to an angle of 100º. Locking is normally keyless though keyed entry is available on request.

Knockouts are positioned at the top and rear of the cabinet to simplify cable entry.

5.5 Mounting The Cabinet

Note: It is recommended the cabinet should be installed in a clean, dry, vibration-free area.

Open the front door. Use the keyhole mounting holes in the top corners and in the lower middle of the unit to mount it on the wall. Cables to connect the system to its external actuating devices are brought in through the knockouts on the top or bottom of the cabinet.

5.10 Brigade / PSU Monitor Board 302 - 6730

The Brigade / PSU Monitor Board monitors and controls the power supply, battery charging, monitored / un-monitored inputs, outputs and the 7 relay outputs.

Providing the Power supply has adequate capacity monitored Bell/Sounder O/

P’s are capable of driving 2

X 2Amp circuits. Each circuit, terminated in a bell/sounder or not, requires a 10K EOL resistor to give a system normal indication. If either circuit is open or shorted, the panel buzzer will sound and a Sounder

Fault will be indicated on the Panel. Monitoring is achieved using a small reverse polarity current. For this reason it is necessary to ensure that all alarm devices are fitted with a series diode (1N4004 recommended) and correct polarity is observed for both the output and the sounders they are connected to.

Relay outputs marked NO, C and NC are voltage free relay contacts. Outputs marked +ve and -ve are fitted with resistors (10k) to allow the circuit to be monitored. If these outputs are un-used they must be terminated at the terminal block or turned off in

ConfigManger

.

For all outputs combined, total output current is 2A ( if 2.5A power supply is being used ).

Once all the field devices are installed and the wiring has been correctly terminated the

FireFinder

is ready to turn on. Turn the Mains power on, and connect the batteries observing correct polarity. The green power on LED should be illuminated.

5.21 Slave CPU 302-669

The Slave CPU (Central Processing Unit) provides the interfacing signals and

I/O’s required to allow the

FACP to connect / communicate to a variety of termination boards.

A single chip micro controller U1 controls all operations of the FACP Slave CPU. This device contains the control program within Read Only Memory (ROM).

Communication to the main system is via an eight bit bi-directional bus (CN1). Integrated circuits U5, U3 and U7 provide buffering and data latches that allow data flow between the M ain and Slave CPU’s. The buffers hold one output byte and two input bytes.

CN1 provides the interconnection to the Termination Board. Within CN1 are ten analogue input lines, two input/output lines, two current loop outputs (RS422) and one current loop input (RS422).

All analogue inputs are de-coupled then fed to an eight-bit analogue to digital converter (ADC) U4. The data from the ADC is sent via a serial peripheral interface to the micro controller U8.

The current loop inputs and outputs are used to provide various signals according to the board connected.

The signals provided can be serial peripheral interface clock and data signals or full duplex asynchronous data and a timing output. U6 provides the signal multiplexing and buffering required to switch between different functions.

Automatic Termination Board Sensing

A unique feature of the Slave CPU is its ability to automatically sense the type of board it is connected to without the user having to configure the board to suit. Board sensing is done by measuring the voltage on analogue input ten (CN1-10), denoted Type Voltage. Each termination board provides a unique predefined voltage. After the Slave CPU has determined the board type the Slave CPU will set the appropriate operating conditions, signal the Main CPU of the installed type and wait for the Main CPU to inform the

Slave to begin executing the program.

BRD85MBA ) that is normally used for programming of the FACP via the serial port of a PC or Laptop. The

Controller also has the required hand shaking to support connection to a Modem, thus allowing the FACP to be programmed from a remote site that has an established telephone connection. This allows the system software to be upgraded by simply transmitting a file via the serial port of the PC or Modem external to the FACP. Diagnostic facilities are also available via the same connection.

5.23 Ancillary Services

The FACP has been designed such that detectors and/or call points, in addition to giving an alarm and calling the fire brigade, will close or open circuits of ancillary services by means of relays or similar devices.

Examples of these services are:

(a) actuation of fixed fire-extinguishing systems;

(b)

(c)

(d) closing of windows, smoke and fire doors, control of ventilating systems; covering of tanks containing flammable liquids and controlling their valves to isolate the contents from direct contact with the fire, etc.

To facilitate safe maintenance of these services an option is available that allows for the isolation and visual indication of the disablement of ancillary services that does not affect the normal operation of the fire alarm system.

To ensure power to the fire alarm system is not prejudiced in any way, power for the ancillary services must be included in the calculation of the power supply and battery capacity.

7 Expanding the System Through Networking

Expanding the system can be achieved in various ways and requires the use of boards specifically designed for communications purposes and boards that actually expand the system.

7.1 Communications: Controller Interface Card 302 - 725

The Controller Interface Card ( CIC ) provides 1 X RS232 O/P for High Level Interfaces, Graphics etc., 1 X half duplex RS485 O/P for external LED Mimics, High level Interfaces

– EWIS- , Graphics etc and option to allow for multiple CIC interconnection.

7.2 Communications: Network Interface Card 302 - 724

The Network Interface Card provides two communication buses, RS232 and RS422, to allow the networking of multiple panels in different combinations, eg. from Data Gathering panels to Peer to Peer panels. Intercommunication can be via CN18 on the Main Controller (Loop Comms) or by way of a

Controller Interface Card connector CN3 (Out). Fitted to the rear of the NIC is the CPU IO Controller

(BRD85CPU) with NIC software to control the flow of communications in and out of the NIC.

7.4 Expansion Controller

An Expansion Controller ( Fast Fit Kit Number 159-0077 ) can be described as a Main Controller without a without a Front Panel. A maximum of 3 can be introduced into any one Node, that is into any one FACP and require Controller Interface Cards ( CIC ) and Network Interface Cards in order to communicate with the Main Board / Controller.

Connecting Controllers together ( Networking within the same cabinet ) expands the system beyond 8

Slave CPU’s, that is the Main Board plus an Expansion Board.

Networking in this way enables the connection of up to 4 Expansion Controllers within the same FACP cabinet. This requires the use of

CIC’s and NIC’s but offers the added advantage that the RS422 communication bus is internal and all Controllers are physically and logically located at the same Node. It is now possible to Network up to 32 Slave CPU’s in one cabinet with each Slave CPU connected to an

Addressable Loop, 16 Conventional Zone Board or Digital I/O Board. With this configuration only one

Controller has a Front Panel Board.

Once the system has been expanded to this degree it is obviously quite large and some form of indication at a point remote from the FACP may become necessary. This is achieved with the use of a Controller

Interface Card (CIC ) and a Remote LED Mimic or a CIC, a Network Interface Card ( NIC ) and a Remote

LCD Repeater.

INSTALLATION COMMISSIONING & OPERATION

7.5 Networking

When FACP’s are connected to each other they form a “ NETWORK “. Individual FACP’s in the Network are referred to as NODES. The Network as defined by the limitations of the installation can consist of a number of Nodes, the number of Nodes being dependant on the configuration of each Node. Typically an entire Network could consist of 60 Slave CPU’s connected to loops, zones and or input / output devices spread over several nodes. The Network is Peer to Peer with the entire system configuration being stored at each Node. The system is then programmed so that information can be made invisible to particular

Nodes or visible to all Nodes. Likewise system commands can be global or restricted to specific parts of the network.

The entire system can be programmed from Node 1 in the Network and is connected as a data loop which provides redundancy should there be a single cabling fault.

IMPORTANT

While it is important that proper documentation is kept and maintained for any installation it becomes even more important as a system develops into the larger types described above. b c a a b c

INSTALLATION COMMISSIONING & OPERATION

8 Smart Terminal

Smart Terminal

connects to the

FireFinder

Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) via the RS485 multidrop communication port. Generally it is designed to be used anywhere where the status of the FACP is required to be monitored by local personnel and limited control is required.

Smart Terminal

;

Has front panel controls that allow the resetting of alarms and activation/silencing of alarm devices.

Enabling operational access to the controls is via a key-switch;

 reports events from devices that are accessible to the host FACP. For example if the host FACP is configured with global access then the connected

Smart Terminal

reports events from all devices. If the host FACP is configured as local then the connected

Smart Terminal

reports events from devices that are directly connected to the host FACP.

8.1 Operation

The operation of

Smart Terminal

can be considered to be in one of three states, these are;

1.

2.

power up - when the

Smart Terminal

is initialising

normal - when the

Smart Terminal

address has been set and is communicating with the FACP,

3.

reporting normal / abnormal conditions and controlling the FACP via the front panel controls

fault where the

Smart Terminal

is in fault and/or is unable to communicate with the FACP.

Power Up

The LCD displays a message telling the operator

Smart Terminal

is being powered up and that the hardware is being initialised. Once the hardware has been successfully initialised set the address and

Smart Terminal

should automatically transition to the normal state.

Should a failure occur on power up press the “RESET” button located on the LCD PCB ( see Figure 5 ) and check the address is correct.

Normal

The No rmal state is entered from the “Power-up” or a return from the “Fault” state and is displayed on the

LCD if the

Smart Terminal

is communicating with the FACP and operating correctly. In this state the front panel Power indicator is illuminated.

Fault

Smart Terminal

enters the Fault state upon;

1.

2.

3.

a hardware failure

LCD module failure or a loss of communications with the FACP ( indicated by the “DIAGNOSTIC” LED – not flashing and the “no communications “ message being displayed)

In a Fault condition the front panel NORMAL indicator is extinguished and the details of the fault are displayed on the LCD. The FACP will also indicate a fault in a similar manner.

8.2 Access levels

There are two levels of access.

Access level 1 only the Acknowledge, previous and next front panel controls are operative. All other controls operate in access level two.

Access level 2 is entered when the key-switch is in the ENABLED position.

8.8 Setting the Address

1.

Open the front door, locate the “CONFIG” button situated on the left hand side of the PCB and press for 3 seconds. The buzzer and “Config” LED will double beep and flash respectively to indicate that the Configuration mode has been entered. The LCD will now display the Configuration screen. This screen consists of the code version number, current address and four adjustment markers. These markers A-, A+, C-, and C+ are used to indicate the keys that adjust the address and LCD contrast.

2.

Use the “PREVIOUS (A-) and NEXT” (A+) keys to select the desired address. The default value for this address is 255 which is not a valid

Smart Terminal

address. The user must then select an address value from 1 to 30, ie the same address as that set in the FACP. The keys corresponding to

C- (ACK) and C+ (RESET) are used in a similar manner to decrease and increase the LCD contrast level. There is audible feedback for all key presses.

3.

On ce the address has been set press the “CONFIG” button again for 3 seconds and the screen will return to its default and the “DIANOSTIC” LED will return to a slow flash. This slow flash indicates

Smart Terminal

and the FACP are communicating normally ie the LED flashes if communications data is being received from the FACP.

Note:

If the address is not set within the time out period of approximately 75 seconds

Smart Terminal

will return to its normal state.

INSTALLATION COMMISSIONING & OPERATION

10 Agent Release Control

Agent Release control consists of a Agent Release Module, Termination Board and an optional Local

Control Station.

10.1 Operation

Introduction

The Agent Release Module and Termination Board communicate with the FACP via the RS485 multi-drop bus.

The Local Control Station communicates only with the Termination Board via a separate RS485 bus. Up to

4 Local Control Stations can be connected to one termination board.

Agent discharge operates in two modes

– automatic and manual. The manual mode is selected by pressing the Inhibit switch on any Local Control Station. To indicate the system is in manual the Inhibit LED will be illuminated. Pressing Inhibit again will toggle or return the mode to automatic and extinguish the

Inhibit LED.

The “ Agent Released ” Pressure Switch ( PSW ) is wired to the PSW input on the Termination Board and is used to confirm that the agent has been released. The circuitry involved in this process can be configured to accept a normally open contact, normally closed contact, normally open mechanically operated (manual) or is ignored ( not fitted ) and is selected via FACP on-site programming. If the mechanical ( manually operated ) option is selected the module monitors the pressure switch input and provides notification the agent has been released manually, initiates an alarm and illuminates the “Agent

Released “ indicator.

Manual Mode

When the system is in manual mode, then;

The Local Control Station Inhibit indicator is lit at the FACP a nd all Local Control Station’s.

The buzzer at all Local Control Stations will sound until the inhibit is released.

The System Inoperative output is turned on.

The Automatic discharge sequences are prevented from starting.

If an automatic discharge sequence was underway and the inhibit switch is activated

(switched to manual mode) the discharge sequence is aborted and the sequence is reset.

This means the Stage 1 and Stage 2 outputs are switched off.

To manually discharge the agent the “ Lock Off Valve “ must be open and the Manual Release switch on the Local Control Station pressed. The manual discharge sequence is;

Manual Activation indicator is lit on the FACP and Local Control Station.

The FACP activates its brigade alarm output.

Stage 1 outputs are switched to +24VDC. [FIRE ALARM sign illuminated, aural alarm sounds].

Stage 2 outputs are switched to +24VDC. [ FIRE ALARM, EVACUATE & DO NOT ENTER signs illuminated, aural alarm sounds ].

The optional pre-release start delay is activated ( Selected via FACP on-site programming ), time out and an ON Interlock signal will then operate the selected release circuitry.

The Agent Discharge LED on the Agent Release Module and Local Control Station will illuminate when the Pressure Switch input on the Termination Board is activated.

Activate gas-fired output.

Note: The Interlock Input can be defaulted to the on position by placing a 10K

EOL termination resistor across the terminals TB2. 7 / 8 of the Agent Release Module and Local Control Station.

Auto Mode

Automatic discharge is when one or two zones going into alarm initiate the agent discharge sequence.

Note:

A “manual release” can still be initiated in “auto mode” but the LCS “Inhibit” control WILL

NOT inhibit / abort the agent release sequence.

INSTALLATION COMMISSIONING & OPERATION

Single Zone Activation,

the following discharge sequence is executed;

Automatic Activation LED is illuminated on the Agent Release Module and Local Control

Station.

Stage 1 outputs are switched to +24VDC. [FIRE ALARM sign illuminated, aural alarm sounds].

Stage 2 outputs are switched to +24VDC. [ FIRE ALARM, EVACUATE & DO NOT ENTER signs illuminated, aural alarm sounds ].

Optional pre-release delay is started ( Selected via FACP on-site programming ).

The delay times out and if the Interlock signal is ON, the selected circuit will activate.

The Pressure Switch field input on the Termination Board is activated and the Agent

Discharge LED on the Agent Release Module and Local Control Station will be illuminated.

Activate gas-fired output.

Dual Zone Activation, if the first zone goes into alarm the following steps are initiated;

The automatic activation LED on the Agent Release Module and Local Control Station will flash.

Stage 1 outputs are switch to

–24VDC. [FIRE ALARM sign illuminated, aural alarm sounds].

When the second zone goes into alarm, then the following steps occur;

Automatic activation LED goes steady.

Stage 1 outputs are switched to +24VDC. [ FIRE ALARM & EVACUATE signs illuminated, aural alarm sounds ].

Stage 2 outputs are switched to +24VDC. [ DO NOT ENTER sign illuminated ].

Optional pre-release delay commences ( Selected via FACP on-site programming ).

The delay times out and if the Interlock signal is on the selected circuit will activate.

The Pressure Switch field input on the Termination Board is activated and the Agent discharge LED on the Agent Release Module and Local Control Station will be illuminated.

Activate gas-fired relay output.

Service Switch

The service switch is situated on the Agent Release Module when activated causes the following;

Electrically isolates the activation circuitry from the agent release device.

Operates the System Inoperative output.

Note: The service switch is NOT overridden by a manual discharge.

Lock-Off Valve

When the manual lock-off valve is operated;

The agent is blocked from reaching the release valve.

The lockoff valve inhibit indicator LED’s on the Agent Release Module and Local Control

Station are illuminated.

The system inoperative output operates.

Fault Monitoring

Fault conditions are initiated by:

The Pressure Switch monitoring circuit.

The Low Pressure Switch monitoring circuit.

The Lock-off Valve monitoring circuit.

Activation circuitry.

Stage 1 outputs. ( Aural & visual discharge alarms ).

Stage 2 outputs. ( Aural & visual discharge alarms ).

A Zone Fault.

A Fault on the interlock input.

A Fault with a LCS.

Note #1: The common fault indicator on the Agent Release Module and Local Control Station is illuminated for any Fault condition.

Note #2: For a pressure switch fault, low pressure switch fault, lock-off valve fault, stage 1 output fault, stage 2 output fault and interlock fault, the FACP will signal the brigade.

Page 52

INSTALLATION COMMISSIONING & OPERATION

Note #3: When there is a fault in the activation circuit or in the trigger zones, in addition to the above, the system inoperative output is operated.

Note #4: The FACP fault buzzer will sound for all faults.

Note #5: The FACP will report the type of fault on the LCD.

Isolation

If a trigger zone is isolated at the FACP the trigger zone isolated indicator at the Agent Release Module and Local Control Station is illuminated, and the system inoperative output is operated.

System Inoperative Output

The system inoperative output is switched to +24VDC under the following conditions;

Operation of the Service Switch.

A Fault in the selected trigger circuit.

Operation of the Lock-off valve.

Operation of the Inhibit at an Local Control Station.

A Fault in any of the activation zones.

If any of the activation zones are isolated.

Manual Mechanical Release of the Agent

With agent release systems, a manual mechanical means can be provided to release the agent.

If the pressure switch is activated (indicating that the agent has been released), and the agent release module has not activated the selected activation circuit, then the following will occur:

Stage 1 output is switched to +24VDC and stage 1 relay is output closed

Stage 2 output is switched to +24VDC and stage 2 relay output is closed

Light the agent release led on the ACC and LCSs

Activate gas-fired relay output

Monitoring of the Pressure Switch

Due to the requirements of Manual Mechanical Release of the Agent, the pressure switch input conveys two pieces of information:

1.

When the pressure switch input is active, it signals that the agent has been released. The release can be as a result of the agent release module or due to a manual mechanical release.

2.

When the pressure switch is not active, it signals that there is a full bottle of agent available to be discharged.

In order for the agent release module to respond to a manual mechanical release, the pressure switch must have been previously not active, to signify that a full bottle of agent is available

10.2 Agent Release Module BRD25ARB

10.4 Local Control Station

The Local Control Station is supplied fi tted into enclosure and has the same indicators and “Agent Inhibit switch as the Agent Release Card but no Agent Select button or Service Inhibit keyswitch (this is replaced by the Inhibit push button).

The Comms line is RS485 and is cabled to the Agent Termination Board.

The Interlock is a monitored input with 10K

EOL. This input is used to determine if air conditioning dampers and doors are closed but can be defaulted to the “ON” condition by terminating the input with a

2K2

Ω EOL.

Note: Typically the agent is not discharged until all dampers / doors are closed.

Buzzer Located at the LCS -

To comply with AS4214

– the buzzer at the LCS sounds when the automatic discharge of the agent has been inhibited via the agent inhibit push button located at the ACC or

LCS(s). In some installations, it is preferred not to sound the buzzer when the automatic discharge of the agent has been inhibited because workers have a set exit procedure which includes checking the agent inhibit condition has been removed. In order to meet both requirements, the continual sounding of the buzzer when the automatic discharge of the agent has been inhibited is configurable through the

“Programming” menu at the FACP. This only affects the buzzer at the LCS(s).

Common Agent Release & LCS Indicators

There are 12 indicators on both the Agent Release Module and Local Control Station. They are;

MANUAL

ACTIVATION

– Red

Illuminated when a manual release sequence has commenced. Manual release sequence can only be started by activating the manual release at the ACC or LCS.

Indicator is extinguished by initiating a “RESET” on the FACP.

AUTOMATIC

ACTIVATION

– Red

Illuminated when an automatic release sequence has commenced. This occurs when the selected zone(s) on the FACP have gone into alarm. For dual zones, the indicator should flash when the first zone goes into alarm, and steady when the second zone goes into alarm.

Indicator is extinguished by activating RESET on the FACP.

AGENT

DISCHARGED

– Blue

Illuminated when the pressure switch indicates the agent has been released.

For Pyrogen, feedback is from the thermal switch. If there is no pressure switch fitted, the indicator will be illuminated immediately the agent release signal is activated (Selected via FACP on-site programming

– refer to relevant FACP Manual). Indicator is extinguished by activating RESET on the FACP.

LOCK OFF

VALVE INHIBITED

– Yellow

Illuminated when the lock-off valve has been activated.

STAGE 2

An on-board buzzer provides an audible warning which may be disabled by removing JP3.

External evacuation devices, eg sounders may be connected to TB3 of the input termination board. An external mute push-button (N/O contacts) may also be connected to Term 3 on the warning sign PCB to enable the user to silence the internal buzzer and evacuation device. Inserting JP4 disables this function.

Enclosures

The IP50 is a metal enclosure. The facia surround is fitted by removing the screw on the left hand side of the enclosure and pulling it away to the left. The facia sign is fitted in place and the tabs bent over to hold it in place. Two holes in the backpan of the chassis allow for mounting.

The IP65 ABS enclosure has 10 screws, tightened evenly but not over tightened, hold the facia in place.

Do not over tighten. 4 holes in the backpan allow for mounting.

INSTALLATION COMMISSIONING & OPERATION

11 Occupant Warning Systems

The EV20, EV40, EV60 and EV120 are compact single zone occupant warning devices that when triggered produce Alert and Evacuation signals to meet the requirements of AS1670.4.

EV20

At the heart of an EV20 single zone occupant warning system is a microprocessor that generates the alert and evacuation signals, controls timing and the input / output.

If an FACP warning system input is received when the rotary switch is in the AUTO position the EV20 will begin to output the “Alert” signal for a duration determined by the setting of the 4 way DIL switch SW1. The set duration is termed the changeover timeout and ranges from 0 seconds to a maximum of 300 seconds.

If the time out is set to 0 seconds then the alert signal is bypassed and the evacuation signal commences immediately. The operator can manually stop the sequence by turning the rotary switch to the ISOLATE position.

IC4 performs the task of an audio amplifier with TX1 providing the impedance matching to a 100 volt speaker line. The alert and evacuation signal output Stages are set by adjusting RV1 and RV2 respectively.

Short or open circuit speaker faults are detected by the fault monitoring circuitry and will result in the illumination of the FAULT indicator mounted on the front panel control module.

Public Address

A microphone and pre-amplifier (Order Code 222-0007) is used to provide the public address capabilities.

EV20 Verbal Messaging

An optional verbal messaging PCB (Order Code 222-0026) is available and is mounted directly onto the main board.

EV40

At the heart of an EV40 single zone occupant warning system is a microprocessor that generates the alert and evacuation signals, controls timing and the input / output.

If an FACP warning system input is received when the rotary switch is in the AUTO position the EV40 will begin to output the

“Alert” signal for a duration determined by the setting of the 4 way DIL switch. The set duration is termed the changeover timeout and ranges from 0 seconds to a maximum of 540 seconds. If the time out is set to 0 seconds then the alert signal is bypassed and the evacuation signal commences immediately. The operator can manually stop the signal sequence by turning the rotary switch to the

ISOLATE position.

Amplifier 1 & 2 provides 40watts of audio output at 8 ohms which feeds TX1 to provide the impedance matching to a 100 volt speaker line. The

“ALERT” and “EVAC” Stage controls adjust the output Stage of each set of signals.

Short or open circuit speaker faults are detected by the fault monitoring circuitry and will result in the illumination of the FAULT indicator mounted on the front panel control module and “SPEAKER SHORT”

(red) or “SPEAKER OPEN” (yellow) LEDs on the main board.

Public Address

A microphone (Order Code 294-0001) is used to provide the public address capabilities.

EV40 Verbal Messaging

An optional verbal messaging PCB (Order Code 222-0013) is available and is mounted directly onto the main board.

INSTALLATION COMMISSIONING & OPERATION

When the control switch is in;

AUTOMATIC - occupant warning signals and if applicable verbal messaging is under the control of the microprocessor and outputted to the speaker system when it receives a “warning system” signal from the

FACP.

ISOLATE

– the occupant warning system is isolated from the FACP “warning system” signal and even if the signal is present there will be no output.

PUBLIC ADDRESS

– the occupant warning system can be used locally as a PA system.

MANUAL EVACUATION

– the occupant warning signal/s will be transmitted over the system.

Indicators

LINE FAULT

- In the event of an open or short circuit speaker line the LINE FAULT indicator (yellow) will be illuminated

ISOLATED

- the LED will be illuminated (yellow) when the warning system is isolated

18 List of Compatible Devices

18.1 Short Circuit Isolation

The Ampac modules listed above feature built-in Short Circuit Isolation that continually monitors the Apollo detection loop. In the event the loop voltage drops below 14.0V DC, an open circuit condition is introduced on the negative line of the loop. This action effectively isolates the short circuit condition, and allows the device to function by drawing power from the unaffected side of the loop. The isolated section of the loop is tested every four (4) seconds, and is automatically reconnected when a loop voltage of greater than 14 V

DC can be maintained.

Note: Should an OC/SC condition eventuate on a loop the LEDs A & B on the Loop Termination Board will both be illuminated.

24 Battery Capacity Calculation

INTRODUCTION

The standby power source capacity, or battery capacity, determines how long the system will continue to operate in the event of the loss of the primary power source. It therefore becomes necessary to calculate the battery and hence power supply / battery charger capacity required for each installation.

The following calculator has been designed to determine the required capacity to meet the required standards. Should an existing panel be expanded the required battery and power supply capacity should be recalculated to ensure the panel continues to operate within the required standards.

The standards considered in this document are:

AS1603/4428 EN54 NZS4512 UL72 MS1404 GB4717

DESCRIPTION

Enter the number of units listed in the left hand column which go to make up the panel, complete the multiplication to obtain the quiescent current then multiply by the standby and alarm hours required by the standard.

POWER SUPPLY RATING

The minimum Power Supply Rating ( 4 ) is obtained by calculating the manufacturers recommended battery charge current [ see Note ] ( 1 ) then adding the quiescent current of the entire system ( 2 ) and the alarm current ( 3 ).

1. Battery Capacity (AH) (

determined from Calculator

)

24 x 0.8

= Amps

2.

3.

Add Quiescent Current of the System ( Iq)

Add the extra current that is drawn when in alarm ( Ia )

=

=

Amps

Amps

4. Minimum Current Rating of Power Supply is

Note: Point 1 Battery Capacity

= Amps

The capacity of the battery shall be such that in the event of failure of the primary power source the batteries shall be capable of maintaining the system in normal working (quiescent) condition for at least 24 h, after which sufficient capacity shall remain to operate two worst case AZFs and associated ACFs for 30 min.

When calculating battery capacity, allowance shall be made for the expected loss of capacity over the useful life of the battery. A new battery shall be at least 125% of the calculated capacity requirements, based on a loss of 20% of its capacity over the useful life of the battery.

Note: Where the fire control station will not receive the system's total power supply failure signal, the battery should have sufficient capacity to maintain the system for 96 h.
