Product Description CHAPTER 1: The PANEL is a 4-zone to 16-zone FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel), which uses conventional input devices. The panel accepts water flow devices, two-wire smoke detectors, four-wire smoke detectors, pull stations and other normally-open contact devices. Outputs include four Notification Appliance Circuits (NAC, SOUND1-4), three standard Form-A relays (alarm, trouble and supervisory) and an EIA-485 port to interface with remote annunciators and optional remote relay modules.

1.5 Components Main Circuit Board The main circuit board contains the system's CPU, power supply, other primary components and wiring interface connectors. Optional modules plug in and are mounted to the main circuit board. The main circuit board is delivered pre-mounted in the cabinet. Cabinet The cabinet is red and the backbox measures 14.57"...
Installation CHAPTER 2 2.1 Mounting Options The cabinet may be either semi-flush or surface mounted. The door is attached to the cabinet by two hinges. The cabinet mounts using two key slots and one additional 0.250" (6.35 mm) diameter holes located in the backbox. The key slots are located at the top of the backbox and the one securing holes at the bottom.
Draw wires through the respective knockout locations. Cabinet Dimensions and Knockout Locations FIGURE 2-2: 2.3 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 cards, modules or interconnecting cables while this unit is energized.

If contact is made with sulfuric acid, immediately flush the skin or eyes with water for 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
2.4 Input Zones Circuits The control panel has 4-16 zone input circuits. The maximum loop resistance limit for each input circuit is 100 ohms. All field wiring of each zone is supervised for opens and ground faults. Both conditions are visually and audibly annunciated.
One alarm option J1 jump on the PCB board, you can select Normal Close(NC) or Normal Open(NO) alarm. 2.6 DC Power Output Connections Nonresettable Power (1000 mA) 24 VDC 4-Wire Smoke Detector Power (1000 mA) 24VDC filtered, filtered, nonresettable power can be obtained resettable power for 4-wire smoke detectors can be obtained from Terminals 1(+) and 2(-).
2.9 Relays Output The control panel provides three relays rated for 2.0 amps @ 30 VDC (resistive) and 2.0 amps @ 30 VAC(resistive). 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. The ALARM RELAY is open in normal , it will be close in a any alarm.
Programming Instructions CHAPTER 3: This chapter describes programming the PANEL from the onboard keypad. Programming can be performed only by a factory authorized representative. Control panel programming is possible at any time except when an alarm or zone fault condition is present or during a fire test. All programming selections are stored in nonvolatile Electrically-Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM).
3.5 Zone Disable 1. Press and held Mode key for more than three seconds until the Activate LED blinks. 2. Press “Up” and “Down” arrow key to select Zone Disable LED blinks. 3. Press “Enter (Mode)” key to enter Zone Disable menu. 3.
Operating Instructions CHAPTER 4 The PANEL has two modes of operation which are Normal, Program. Upon initial power-up, the system will be in Normal Mode. This section discusses operation of the control panel in the Normal Mode. 4.1 Switch Functions in Normal Mode Silence A Silence key is located on the PANEL keypad (illustrated in Figure 4-1).
The System Reset key resets the system and any detectors. A Reset key is located on the PANEL keypad (illustrated in Figure 4-1). If the System Reset keys are pressed, the control panel will: ✓ Clear the status LEDs ✓ Turn off the Notification Appliance Circuits ✓...

A.1 Main Power Supply The PANEL provides filtered power for operating the fire alarm control panel, operating external devices and operating the standby battery. The power for operating external devices is limited. Use Table A-2 (standby or non-alarm) and Table A-3 (alarm) to determine if external loading is within the capabilities of the power supply. TABLE A-2: Filtered Load in Standby @24 VDC.
