DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
SYSTEM DESIGN & PLANNING - A few handy tips
This guide is intended as an aid to designers and installers of fire detection systems. It is NOT to be used as a substitute to BS5839 which should be read in full.
What is a detection zone?
In order to direct those responding to a fire alarm signal, particularly the fire service, to the area of a fire, all buildings, other than very small buildings, need to be divided into detection zones. Detection zones need to be small enough for a fire to be located quickly.
• If the total floor area of the building is greater than 300m 2 , each zone should be restricted to a single storey
• If the total floor area of the building is less than 300m 2 a zone may cover more than a single storey
• For voids above or below the floor area of a room, these may be included within the same zone of the room, provided that the void and the room constitute a single fire compartment
• The floor area of a single zone should not exceed 2000m 2 .
Detectors
• A person searching a zone for a fire in a non- addressable fire system should not have to travel more than 60m to identify the source of a fire
• The sensing element of a smoke detection device should not be less than 25mm and not more than
600mm below ceiling
• The sensing element of a heat detector should not be less than 25mm and not more than 150mm below ceiling
• When mounted on a flat ceiling, smoke detection devices have an individual coverage of 7.5m radius.
However these radii must overlap to ensure there are no ‘blind spots’. Therefore individual coverage can be represented by a square measuring 10.6m x 10.6m giving an actual coverage of 112m 2 per device
• When mounted on a flat ceiling, heat detection devices have an individual coverage of 5.3m radius.
However these radii must overlap to ensure there are no ‘blind spots’. Therefore individual coverage can be represented by a square measuring 7.5m x 7.5m giving an actual coverage of 56.3m
2 per device.
Call Points
• A person should not have to travel more than 45m along an escape route to reach a Manual Call Point
(25m if disabled person to operate, or rapid fire development is likely). Manual Call Points should be sited at all stair wells and exits from the building.
• The frangible element of the manual call point should be positioned 1.4m (+/- 200mm) from the floor level. (Unless a wheelchair user is likely to be the first person to raise the alarm).
Sounders
• Sounder device cabling should be arranged so that in the event of a fault, at least one sounder will remain operational during a fire condition.
• The minimum sound level should be 65dB(A) or 5dB(A) above a background noise which is louder than 60dB(A) (if lasting more than 30 seconds) and at a frequency of between 500Hz and 1000Hz.
The maximum sound level should not be greater than 120dB(A) at any normally accessible point. This may be reduced to 60dB(A) in stairways, enclosures up to 60m 2 and specific points of limited extent.
• For areas where people are sleeping, sounder devices should produce a minimum 75dB(A) at the bed-head with all doors shut. In buildings providing sleeping accomodation for a significant number of people, all bedrooms should have both audible and visual alarms.
Eclipse Installation, Commissioning & Operating Manual Approved Document Ref: UI-ECL-01 Issue 8.0

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Beacons
• Visual alarms such as beacons, should always be mounted at a minimum height of 2.1m from floor level.
General
• Fire Alarm Control Panels should be installed at a location appropriate for staff and fire fighters
• All mains supply isolators must be double pole and suitably marked
• All joints to be fire resisting, junction boxes to be labelled ‘FIRE ALARM’.
• All cables to be fire resisting with a minimum cross-sectional area of 1mm 2.
• Cable using trunking as a means of containment must be clipped using fire resistant supports WITHIN
THE TRUNKING.
• Zone charts should be fitted in all appropriate locations (adjacent to control equipment and repeaters).
CABLE TYPES & LIMITATIONS
CABLING
CABLE LENGTHS
The maximum recommended cable length for a zone or sounder circuit is 1Km. This, however, is highly dependant on the number and type of devices connected.
If in doubt, cable load and resistance calculations should be undetaken to ensure devices are working within specified limits.
MAINS PROVISION
All system wiring should be installed to meet BS5839 Pt 1 : 2002 and BS7671
(Wiring Regulations). Other national standards of installation should be used where applicable.

GENERAL
segregated away from mains voltage.
• Any junction boxes used should be clearly labelled FIRE ALARM.
• Any ancillary devices, e.g. door retaining magnets, must be powered from a separate power source.
• Any coils or solenoids used in the system must be suppressed, to avoid damage to the control equipment.
MOUNTING THE CABINET
Before mounting the cabinet remove the main PCB.
Remove the power supply module connecting wires from the main PCB, taking care to note where to reconnect them. The main PCB can then be carefully pulled off it’s mounting clips.
Secure the cabinet to the wall using the four indented holes in the back box. Ensure the box is mounted level and in a convenient location where it may be easily operated and serviced.
External cables should be glanded via preformed knockouts at the top and rear of the cabinet. Remove any knockouts and ensure the cabinet is clear of swarf etc prior to refitting the PCB. Always ensure that if a knockout is removed, the hole is filled with a good quality cable gland. Any unused knockouts must be securely blanked off.
Knockouts should be removed with a sharp tap at the rim of the knockout using a flat 6mm broad bladed screwdriver.
Use of excessive force will damage the enclosure around the knockout.

MAINS CONNECTIONS
Do not connect the mains supply to the panel until you are fully conversant with the layout and features of the equipment.
A rating plate is attached to the power supply module describing the nature of the supply permitted.
The incoming mains supply should be brought into the panel via one of the knockouts provided.
A suitable cable gland must be used to secure the outer sheath of the cable used. The earth must first be connected to the primary earth stud (peg) marked with a symbol, using a suitable ring crimp.
Sufficient earth lead should be left to allow Live and Neutral connections to be accidentally pulled from the terminal block while leaving the earth connection intact.

INSTALLATION
CONNECTING THE BATTERIES
Batteries of even very small capacity are capable of delivering very high currents which can cause fire or injury, therefore battery connections should be done with caution.
The panel is supplied with battery leads already connected to the battery terminals on the main PCB.
These leads are coloured red for +ve and black for -ve.
2 x 12v batteries should be connected in series using the white jumper lead provided. See diagram.

N.B.
In the event of mains failure, the battery charger circuit will protect the batteries from full discharge by disconnecting them when they reach below
19v. When the mains supply is restored the batteries will be automatically reconnected.
12v SLA Battery 12v SLA Battery
NOTE:
If the mains is connected before the batteries, the panel will show a Power Supply fault for up to 1 minute until the monitoring cylce has finished polling. This is normal. If the fault doesn’t clear after 1 minute, check connections.
BATTERY CHARGING VOLTAGE CHECKS
The battery charging voltage is factory calibrated to 27.3vdc +/- 0.2v @ 20 o C. This should not normally require adjustment. Where battery problems are experienced, the following information should be considered.
a) If a battery is disconnected from the charger, no voltage will appear on the output leads or terminals, due to intelligent battery controls.
b) Check the power supply voltage at the 28v & 0v supply output terminals. With the batteries disconnected the voltage should be 27.6vdc +/- 0.2v @ between 11 o C - 40 o C.
c) To test the batteries, turn off the mains and see if the system will run on the batteries. Check the battery voltage, should be 26.8v for a good battery or 22v for a flat battery.
d) The power supply voltage can be adjusted using the potentiometer on the power supply module (see page 7), checking at the 28v & 0v output terminals with a calibrated volt meter. Batteries should be disconnected and the Access Level 3 DIL switch should be set to ‘ON’ (see page 17), which will over ride the temperature compensation controls. Carefully adjust the voltage to 27.6vdc +/- 0.2v. When completed, switch off Access Level 3 DIL switch and re-connect the batteries.
e) When the panel is re-charging a low battery, it should be possible to see the voltage across the batteries increase gradually. If this is not occurring, the batteries or the panel may be faulty.

SETUP & PROGRAMMING
TWIN WIRE MODE
What is Twin Wire?
Twin Wire is Haes’ version of what is often referred to as sav wire. The technology enables sounders and beacons to be connected to the same circuit as the detectors and call points. This can result in greatly reduced installation time and cost.
How does it work?
In Twin Wire configuration the fire zone circuits reverse polarity in alarm condition to power the sounders and beacons. For this reason the sounders and beacons need to be wired in opposite polarity to the detectors and call points, i.e. zone positive wire connects to detector base and call point positive terminals but sounder and beacon negative terminals.
Zone +ve
+ + + +
4K7 EOL
Resistor
Zone -ve -
Haes Twin Wire systems require special ‘sav-wire’ detector bases and polarised call points but standard sounders. Most modern, non addressable, low current, polarised sounders, bells and beacons are compatible, Cooper Fulleon, Besson, Klaxon etc.
To set Twin Wire mode, move switch 1 on the 3 way DIL switch located on the main PCB to the ‘ON’ position.
Note: Setting this switch will change ALL zones to
Twin Wire.

By default, after an initial fire condition and the (blue) Silence Alarms button has been activated, any new fire condition in a different zone will cause the alarms to resound.
It is possible to change this on a zonal basis so that any new alarm in a different zone will not resound the alarms.
Enter the above code and press the ENTER button. The Sounder Status LED will pulse slowly. Zone Fault/
Disabled/Test LEDs will show their current status (see below) with Zone 1 pulsing to indicate it is under selection.
Use Button 1 (Disable Mode) to move to the zone for programming (indicated by a pulsing LED) and press the ENTER button to change the status. Pressing the ENTER button again will toggle the status, indicated by a rapid or slow pulsing LED (see below). Then use Button 1 to move to the next zone. If the zone has been set to not resound alarms, the LED will be off. If kept as default, new fire condition will resound alarms, then the LED will be on steady.
Rapid Pulse = Zone is under selection and is set to have alarms resound (default).
Slow Pulse = Zone is under selection and has been set to not resound alarms on new fire condition.

There are 4 functional settings available for each zone. These are as follows:
Fire latching
Normally a zone latches a fire input signal. This setting allows the panel to clear automatically when a fire signal is removed. This is useful for interfacing purposes.
Short circuit as alarm (EN54!)
For Older non EN54 or BS5839 compliant systems. This allows a short circuit to activate a fire rather than a fault condition.
Intrinsically safe operation
This option changes the zone alarm and short circuit thresholds to allow for an MTL 5061 type intrinsically safe barrier to be used in the circuit.
Note: Twin Wire mode is not compatible with intrinsically safe operation.
Detector removal monitoring (EN54!)
The detector removal monitoring can be turned off. For use with older, non compliant detectors.
Enter the above code and press the ENTER button.

2 1 1 4 Type ‘A’ dependency mode.
Dependency ‘A’ (confirmation alarm) is a requirement by some monitoring stations and local fire authoities to reduce the possibility of false alarms.
Dependency ‘A’ zones will apply the following sequence:
Note: 220Ω ‘Evacuate’ call points should be used on such zones to provide an instant un-delayed alarm.
A 470Ω call point will be included in the dependency delay sequence.
By default this is set to ‘off’ for all zones.
To set zones to Type ‘A’ Dependency, enter the above code and press the ENTER button. The Aux Output
Status LED will pulse slowly. Zone Fault/Disabled/Test LEDs will show their current status (see below) with
Zone 1 pulsing to indicate it is under selection.
Use Button 1 (Disable Mode) to move to the zone for programming (indicated by a pulsing LED) and press the ENTER button to change the status. Pressing the ENTER button again will toggle the status, indicated by a rapid or slow pulsing LED (see below). Then use Button 1 to move to the next zone. If the zone has been set to confirmation alarm mode, the LED will remain on. If kept as standard alarm mode then the
LED will be off.
Slow Pulse = Zone is under selection and is set to standard alarm mode.
Rapid Pulse = Zone is under selection and has been set to confirmation alarm mode.
LED Off = Zone is set to standard alarm mode.
LED On = Zone has been set to confirmation alarm mode.

SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
The following section is a summary of the requirements in BS5839 Part 1
For comprehensive information a copy of BS5839 Part 1 can be purchased from the British Standards
Institution via their web site at www.bsi-global.com.
THE NEED FOR MAINTENANCE
Your Fire Alarm System is working 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The detectors and control & indicating panel are operating continuously and the fire alarm circuits are constantly monitored.
Legislation such as the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and other legislation protecting both employees and the public require premises operators to conform with standards for Fire Alarm Systems.
It is a requirement of BS 5839 Part 1 that the system is subject to periodic inspection and servicing so that faults are identified, preventive measures can be taken to ensure the continued reliability of the system, false alarm problems are identified and suitably addressed, and the user is made aware of any changes to the building that affect the protection afforded by the system.
The inspection and servicing recommendations in this clause should be carried out by a competent person. A ‘Competent Person’ is a person or fire alarm servicing organisation with specialist knowledge of fire detection and fire alarm systems, including knowledge of the causes of false alarms, sufficient information regarding the system, and adequate access to spares.
The period between successive inspection and servicing visits should be based upon a risk assessment, taking into account the type of system installed, the environment in which it operates and other factors that may affect the long term operation of the system. The recommended period between successive inspection and servicing visits should not exceed six months. If this recommendation is not implemented, it should be considered that the system is no longer compliant with this part of BS 5839
DUTIES OF THE RESPONSIBLE PERSON
The system user needs to appoint a single, named member of the premises management to supervise all matters pertaining to the fire detection and fire alarm system. The role of this person is to ensure that the system is tested and maintained in accordance with the recommendations of BS 5839 Part 1, that appropriate records are kept and that relevant occupants in the protected premises are aware of their roles and responsibilities in connection with the fire detection and fire alarm system.
This person also needs to ensure that necessary steps are taken to avoid situations that are detrimental to the standard of protection afforded by the system and to ensure that the level of false alarms is minimized.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE & TESTING
DAILY
The ‘Responsible Person’ should check the control panel to make sure no faults or pre-alarm conditions are indicated and that the green ‘Supply Healthy’ lamp is lit.
WEEKLY
The Fire Alarm System should be tested on a weekly basis as recommended in BS5839 Part 1 clause 44.2.
Every week a manual call point should be operated during normal working hours. The weekly test should be carried out at approximately the same time each week. Instructions to the occupants should be that they report any instance of poor audibility of the fire alarm signal.
A different manual call point should be used at the time of every weekly test so that all manual call points in the building are tested in rotation over a prolonged period.
The result of the weekly test and the identity or location of the manual call point used should be recorded in the system log book.
Eclipse Installation, Commissioning & Operating Manual Approved Document Ref: UI-ECL-01 Issue 8.0
32
SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
WEEKLY TEST
The call point test key should be inserted firmly and deliberately into the bottom of the manual call point.
Once activated it may be necessary to wait up to four seconds before the alarms sound.
Your manual call points may not be the same as the ones described above. If not please refer to your service and maintenance company for instructions.
Note:
Before testing the fire alarm system it may be necessary to isolate ancillary outputs.
It is essential that any alarm receiving centre is contacted immediately before and immediately after, the weekly test to ensure that unwanted alarms are avoided and that fire alarm signals are correctly received at the alarm receiving centre.
PERIODIC INSPECTION & SERVICING
Inspection & servicing should only be carried out by a ‘Competent Person’ who has sufficient knowledge to check the whole system. This would normally be a qualified electrical contractor or fire alarm specialist.
Inspection & servicing visits are normally conducted on a quarterly basis unless such factors as a dirty environment warrant servicing on a more regular basis. The maximum period between inspections must not exceed six months.
Recommendations of BS5839-1 for periodic service visits include:
• Every device on the system should be tested annually. The testing of each device can be split between periodic visits but with a minimum of one detector or call point tested on each circuit, per visit.
• On each visit the ‘Competent Person’ should check the record of false alarms. Any persistent occurrence should be investigated and corrective action taken as appropriate.
• Battery and connections should be examined and load tested to check serviceable condition and that they are not likely to fail before the next service visit.
• All other devices and control & indicating equipment should be checked for correct operation and any faults should be recorded and rectified.
• Details of the service visit must be recorded in the log book
EVERY FOUR YEARS
