Chapter 2: Installation Cabinet installation Where to install the control panel Install the control panel in a location that is free from construction dust and debris, and immune to extreme temperature ranges and humidity. See Chapter 5 “Technical specifications” on page 113 for more information on the operating temperature and relative humidity specifications.
Chapter 2: Installation To fix the cabinet to the wall: 1. Hold the cabinet to the wall at the required installation height. 2. Ensure that the cabinet is level using the built-in spirit level and mark drill points on the wall. 3.
Chapter 2: Installation The inserts are numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4, and are inserted at the location indicated (with the printed area facing the front of the control panel). For evacuation panels, remember to add descriptions for any output groups assigned to the programmable buttons to insert 3.

Chapter 2: Installation To determine noise immunity, check the communications error rate and the stability of analogue values for installed devices. Securing cables Use 20 mm cable glands to ensure clean and secure connections. All cables should be fed through the cable guides in the cabinet housing to eliminate movement.
Chapter 2: Installation Figure 13: Overview of EN 54-13 fire system connections with a single Class A loop 1. 2010-FS-EOL end-of-line device 2. Fault indicating equipment Connecting loops Loop guidelines For best results, follow these guidelines when connecting loops: • Install at least one isolator per loop (we recommend one for every 32 devices).
Page 33
Chapter 2: Installation • Ensure that the loop cable complies with the cable specifications outlined in “Recommended cables” on page 24. • If using shielded loop cable, ensure that the shield is continuous (connected through to each loop device). To prevent earth loops caused by electromagnetic interference, only one cable shield should be connected to earth, as shown in Figure 12 on page 25.
Chapter 2: Installation Connecting loop devices Each loop can support up to 250 devices, as shown below. Table 10: Maximum number of loop devices Device Maximum per loop Address range Detectors 1 to 125 I/O modules, manual call points 128 to 252 For detailed loop device installation information, see your device installation sheet.
Chapter 2: Installation Connecting outputs Control panel outputs are shown in the table below. Table 12: Control panel outputs Output Description Supervision 24V AUX Used to supply power to auxiliary equipment. The Short circuit, voltage output can be configured as resettable and to shut level down when there is no mains power.
Page 36
Chapter 2: Installation End-of-line components for outputs are included in the accessory kit provided with your control panel. Note: Output termination differs for typical and EN 54-13 installation types. Take care to install the correct termination for your installation. Output polarity All outputs are polarity sensitive.
Chapter 2: Installation Connecting the mains power supply Caution: Connect the mains power supply before connecting the batteries. The control panel can be operated at 110 VAC 50/60 Hz or 240 VAC 50/60 Hz (+10%/−15%). Mains power should be sourced directly from a separate circuit breaker in the building electrical supply distribution board.
Chapter 2: Installation Figure 16: Selecting 115 or 230 VAC operation Connecting the batteries The control panel requires two 12 V, rechargeable, sealed lead-acid batteries with 7.2, 12, or 18 Ah capacity (see “Battery maintenance” on page 111). Batteries are located inside the control panel cabinet and must be installed in series.
Page 39
Chapter 2: Installation Two wiring options are possible: • Ring configuration • Bus configuration Ring configuration Ring network configuration is recommended as it provides for redundancy in the transmission path. For ring configuration (Class A), use both ports to connect all network boards or control panels to form a ring, as shown below.
Chapter 2: Installation Connecting an external printer or ASCII terminal To print control panel events in real time, connect an external EPSON LX300 printer or ASCII terminal to COM0 or COM1. Note: This option requires the 2010-2-232-KIT (not supplied). The kit contains a 3 m cable and the 2010-2-232-IB isolation board required for external RS-232 device connections.

Chapter 3: Configuration and commissioning Setting Description FREXT_ACK Extended fire routing delay (typically for Scandinavia). The configured fire routing delay starts to count down when the control panel reports a detector alarm. If the alarm is acknowledged during the configured fire routing delay (by pressing the Panel Silence button), then the extended fire routing delay becomes the active delay.
Page 106
Chapter 3: Configuration and commissioning Note: The table above indicates the minimum and maximum values when Inv_Ack is not enabled (any configured investigation time starts when the alarm is detected). If Inv_Ack is enabled, the maximum investigation time is 600 seconds less the configured investigation time, and the minimum is 0.
