Page 11: Connecting To The Circuit Board
Connecting to the circuit board All connections for field wiring are to rows of terminals along the top and bottom of the circuit board. Shielded fire alarm cable such as FP200 and metal cable glands must be used for all connections to the panel. -
Page 12: Connecting To Extinguishing Output
Connection to extinguishing output The Extinguishing output is capable of supplying up to 1 Amp for the maximum duration to a solenoid or 3 Amps for 20 milliseconds to an igniting actuator or Metron. The wiring for solenoids and igniting actuators is different as shown below. Igniting actuators of different types or from different manufacturers should not be mixed on the same circuit. -
Page 13: Connecting To Activation Inputs
Connecting to activation inputs The ECU has two monitored activation inputs which can be used for activating the extinguishing system. Each input must have 6k8 0.5W end of line resistor fitted (supplied in terminals) and be triggered by a 470R 1W resistor. Wiring from volt free contacts from conventional fire panels or addressable modules are shown below. -
Page 14: Setting Up Extinguishant Monitoring Circuit
Setting up extinguishing monitoring circuit The extinguishing output circuit is factory set to monitor the end of line diode that is fitted to the terminals and will normally show a value of around 270. If the parameters of the Extinguishing output change e.g. by connecting a solenoid in parallel with the monitoring diode or removing the diode and fitting igniting actuators, then the extinguishing output monitoring level will need to be “learnt”. -
Page 15: Connection To Relay Contacts
Press the ENTER button. The LCD will show: Press the ENTER button. The LCD will show: Press the exit button. The Aux 24V supply outputs are fitted with an electronic, self resetting fuse rated at 0.5 Amps to protect the control panel’s 24V supply in the event of a wiring fault. Any standing load on the Aux 24V supply outputs must be taken into account when calculating battery standby times. -
Page 16: Released Relay
11.4 Released relay The released relay will operate when the module enters the released condition, triggered by activation of the monitored activation inputs. The released relay will also operate if the panel enters the released condition via the released pressure switch input. The Released relay can be disabled at access level 2 via the menus on the ECU. -
Page 17: Adding New Status Units/Ancillary Boards
ADDRESS SWITCH POSITIONS The address switch is located on the bottom left hand corner of the status indicator or ancillary PCB. Note: The address is only read when the boards are first powered or if the processor reset switch on the ancillary board or status indicator is pressed, so address switches should not be altered on a system that has power applied. -
Page 18: Removing Status Units/Ancillary Boards
To accept the status indicators and/or ancillary boards found, turn the ENABLE CONTROL keyswitch on and slide the WRITE ENABLE switch on the module to which the status indicators or ancillary boards are connected gently to the left. The LCD will then display: X = the address of the status unit found X = the address of the ancillary board found When the ENTER button is pressed on the module to which the status indicators or ancillary boards are... -
Page 19: Wiring To Status Units/Ancillary Boards
X = the address of the disconnected ancillary board. Turn the ENABLE CONTROLS keyswitch on and gently slide the WRITE ENABLE switch to the left. The LCD will then display: X = the address of the remaining status indicators X = the address of the remaining ancillary boards When the ENTER button is pressed on the module to which the status indicators or ancillary boards are connected, the selected status indicator or ancillary board will be added to the system and the next unit to be added will be displayed. -
Page 20: Configuration
Up to seven status indicators and seven ancillary boards can be connected to each ECU. Consideration must be given to the power consumption of status units and ancillary boards when calculating the standby battery requirements for the ECU. The last status unit or ancillary board connected to the ECU must have a terminating link fitted. Terminating links must be removed from all preceding status units and ancillary boards. -
Page 21: Reset Inhibit Time
To save the settings, slide the WRITE ENABLE switch gently to the right. Operation of any of detection zone in the range of zones selected to trigger the ECU will put the ECU into the activated condition. 14.3 Reset inhibit time It is a requirement of the Extinguishing control panel standard EN12094-1 to inhibit reset of the system after it has been activated until there is a signal representing the end of the discharge (a released input) or for an adjustable time period of up to 30 minutes. -
Page 22: Extinguishing Release Time
14.5 Extinguishing release time The time that the Extinguishing output is active for can be set between 60 and 300 seconds. The factory default time for this is 60 seconds. It is also possible to disable this timer such that the Extinguishing outputs remain active until the module is reset. -
Page 23: Delay On Manual Release
Press the ENTER button and the display will show: To change setting, press the ENTER button. To save the settings, slide the WRITE ENABLE switch gently to the right. The released indicator will now be lit when the Extinguishing output operates. 14.8 Delay on manual release The manual release function (panel mounted and remote) can be configured to have a pre-release time delay (as per the set pre-release time) or to have no pre-release delay allowing immediate operation of... -
Page 24: Release Timer
To change to this, press the ENTER button. To save the settings, slide the WRITE ENABLE switch gently to the right. It will now be possible to reset the module during the pre-release delay but not while the extinguishing outputs have operated or until after expiry of the reset inhibit time. Note: Disabling the Pre-release delay reset does not comply with the requir3ements of EN12094-1. -
Page 25: Disable Earth Fault Monitoring
14.12 Disable earth fault monitoring The earth fault monitoring facility can be disabled on each module individually. The factory default setting is for the earth fault monitoring facility to be enabled. To disable the earth fault monitoring, switch on the ENABLE CONTROL keyswitch and slide the WRITE ENABLE switch on the module to be configured gently to the left. -
Page 26: Extinguishing Output Monitoring Levels
To invert the low pressure switch input, switch on the ENABLE CONTROL keyswitch and slide the WRITE ENABLE switch on the module to be configured gently to the left. Press the ENTER button on the ECU then press the DOWN button until the display shows: Press the ENTER button and the display will show: To select this option, press the ENTER button. -

If the ECU is in the activated condition and the pre-release timer is running then the extinguishing release sequence will be halted and the pulsing 2 stage sounders shall change to 1 second on, 2... -
Page 32: Internal Controls
16 Internal controls 16.1 Watchdog reset If the microprocessor on the ECU fails to carry out its operation correctly it will attempt to restart. The ECU will show the general Fault and System Fault LEDs on the front panel, the CPU fault inside the panel will illuminate and the buzzer will sound. -
Page 33: Internal Indications
17 Internal indications 17.1 Watchdog Indicates that the processor has failed to correctly execute code and has been re-started by the watchdog circuit. The WATCHDOG RESET switch must be pressed to clear the Watchdog fault condition. If the fault does not clear the ECU is probably damaged and needs the circuit board replacing. 17.2 System fuse Indicates that the ECU main fuse has been overloaded and the ECU has shut down. -
Page 34: Maintenance
Battery leads are supplied wired to the power supply along with a link to connect the two batteries together. Important! The polarity of the batteries must be carefully observed when connecting. Wrongly connected batteries could cause damage to the control panel. 19 Maintenance The ECU does not require any specific maintenance but should the control panel become dirty it can be wiped over with a barely damp cloth. -
Page 35: Commissioning Instructions
21 Commissioning instructions Before applying power to the panel, any solenoids or igniting actuators must be physically isolated from the panel by disconnecting both wires, this will prevent any accidental release of extinguishing gas. When power is applied and if all connections are correct, only the green Power On and either the Automatic/Manual or Manual Only indicators should be illuminated.
