Controls, Indicators and Operation 1.3.2 LED Indicators LED Indicators (CMP-2402B Illustrated) FIGURE 1-3: The LED indicators for the CMP-2401B/CMP-2402B are labeled in English and French. The purpose of each indica- tor is listed below: AC Power (Alimentation) - green LED The green LED is on when the FACP is operating from normal AC power.
Controls, Indicators and Operation System Trouble (Trouble Systeme) - yellow LED This yellow LED turns on for all faults or abnormal operating conditions. Ground Fault (Faute M.A.L.T.) - yellow LED This yellow LED turns on to indicate a ground fault condition (low impedance to ground) on any field wiring or battery connections.

Operating Power Operating Power WARNING: Several different sources of power can be connected to this panel. Disconnect all sources of power before servicing. The panel and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting modules, interconnecting cables or wiring while this unit is energized. Primary Power Source (AC) and Earth Ground Connections AC power connections are made inside the control panel cabinet.
Input Circuits Input Circuits The CMP-2401B has one IDC (Initiating Device Circuit) and the CMP-2402B has two IDCs. The maximum total loop resistance limit for each input circuit is 200 ohms. The field wiring is supervised for opens, shorts and ground faults.

UL Power-limited Wiring Requirements Standard Relays The FACP provides two Form-C relays rated for 2.0 amps @ 30 VDC (resistive) and 2.0 amps @ 30 VAC (resistive). Relay Terminals FIGURE 2-8: Relay connections may be power-limited or nonpower-limited, provided that a minimum of 0.25" is maintained between conductors of power-limited and nonpower-limited circuits.
Installation of Optional Module Installation of Optional Module CAUTION: Remove all power (AC and DC) before installing or removing modules or wiring. 2.7.1 4XTMF Transmitter Module Push the disconnect switch to the down position to prevent accidental activation of the municipal box during testing of the control panel.
Installation of Optional Module 2.7.2 RTB - Remote Trouble Buzzer The RTB is a Remote Trouble Buzzer which provides a green AC Power LED and a yellow Trouble LED along with a piezo sounder, all of which mimic the condition of the control panel. The RTB can be mounted remotely in a single-gang electrical box.
Programming Options Programming Options CHAPTER 3 This chapter describes the programming options available by cutting resistors on the FACP main circuit board. Options should be selected (resistors cut if necessary) prior to applying power to the control panel. Earth Ground Fault Detection The FACP is factory configured to automatically detect ground fault conditions.
Periodic Testing and Maintenance Periodic Testing and Maintenance CHAPTER 4 To ensure proper and reliable operation, it is recommended that system inspection and testing be scheduled monthly or as required by national and/or local fire codes. Testing should be done by a qualified service representative if a malfunction is encountered.
