5.14 Relay Output Wiring

Three volt-free relay output connections are provided on the Main 1 or 2-Loop PCB - a failsafe fault output*
which switches under any fault condition or total power failure and two programmable auxiliary relay outputs.
All three relays are capable of switching 1A @ 30Vdc.
DO NOT use these relays for switching mains voltages.
* In the event of total de-energisation of the fire panel the fault relay will change state.
Fig.8 – Relay Output Detail
The wiring for each output should be connected to the relevant connector block on the Main 1 or 2-Loop PCB
(dependent on model), as shown in Fig.8 above.

One fused 24Vdc output, rated at 100mA, is provided on the Main 1 or 2-Loop
PCB and can be used for supplying power to ancillary fire alarm equipment, e.g.
relays. The output wiring should be connected to the terminal block marked
+24V, as shown in Fig.7 left.
The two auxiliary outputs can be programmed using CAST ZFP
Programming Tools (Part No. ZTOOLS) to operate as required
but their default operations are:
RLY1: Switches when any zone goes into fire; switches back
when the panel is silenced.
RLY2: Switches when any zone goes into fire; switches back
when the panel is reset.
A 'galvanically - isolated' USB connector
(CONN3) is provided on the Control/Display
Module PCB for the connection of a Windows
based PC, running programming software.
The recommended cable is a USB Type A male
connector to USB Type B male connector.
CAST ZFP Programming Tools (Part No.
ZTOOLS) are available that allow quick and easy
input of data, cause and effect programming,
device and zone naming.
