8.1Electrical Safety WARNING: Please read this section completely before commencing installation. 1. Prior to handling any part of the control panel, ensure that adequate precautions are taken against static damage to the sensitive electronic components on the control board. You should discharge any static electricity you may have accumulated by touching a convenient earthed object, e.g.
14. Gland the mains power cable into one of the holes provided at the bottom of the enclosure. To meet the European EMC directives it is essential that these are the only entry points used for mains power. 15. Gland all field wiring in place ensuring that the cable conductors are of sufficient length.
2. Fit the A1619 panel repeater interface to headers J3 and J5 on the A1579 panel motherboard (J2 and J3 on A1638). The board should be held in place by a 12mm high plastic spacer. 3. Connect the panel repeater RS485 wiring as shown in Figure 3. Notes: Use only RS485 shielded data cable.
5. To enable networking, S4 switch 4 on the A1579 should be moved to the ON position (switch 2 on the A1638 Premier AL Global Repeater motherboard). This should be done after stand-alone panel commissioning is complete.
Panel Switch Switch Switch Switch Node (Binary (Binary (Binary (Binary Address value: 1) value: 2) value: 4) value: 8) 9.Commissioning 9.1Introduction The following equipment should be available where possible to minimise commissioning time: i) VHF/UHF Portable Radio (for two engineers) ii) Multi-meter or equivalent 9.2Commissioning Checklist 1.
Experience has shown that tracing wiring faults on long circuits which are routed through risers etc. can be difficult without knowledge of the wiring route. It is recommended that the electrical installer is made available until basic wiring continuity is proven. A minimum of two persons (e.g. engineer and mate) is recommended for efficient commissioning.
i) Positive to earth resistance is greater than 1MΩ ii) Negative to earth resistance is greater than 1MΩ iii) Positive to negative resistance is greater than 1MΩ 5. Place a short circuit across the ends of the loop and alarm circuits. Measure the resistance across the positive and negative cables of each of the circuits and ensure that the value does not exceed the calculated value.
Note: If more than one device has the same address the LCD display will show a report of the device numbers affected. The engineer may also notice a device missing from the expected total quantity of loop devices. 6, Interrogate the devices on an individual basis as described in section 23.29 on page 75.

15.3Adjustable Sensitivity Modes The Premier AL panels can be configured to automatically adjust device sensitivity according to the time of day. Three different sensitivity levels can be assigned to each point. These are referred to as the day mode sensitivity level, night mode sensitivity level and the default sensitivity level.
• Printer (local only even on network systems) • Inputs (local or at another panel if part of a network) 15.5The Event Log The panel stores a record of the last 200 events (local or from network) in the event log.
On network systems these functions only affect the local panel directly, although changes to zone or control group allocation may indirectly affect other panels that use those zones or control groups in their own cause/effect. 16.1Engineer Definable Access Code The engineer’s access code can be changed using the PC cause/effect editor. Note: If the new code is mislaid then it will not be possible to access the engineer’s functions.
16.6Zone Allocation The Premier AL panels have 32 programmable zones, which are used to represent a physical area. All loop devices can be programmed into one of these zones through the engineers menu. Activation of a fire or a fault on a device will cause operation of the fire or fault indicator associated with the zone.
Page 35
Note 1: The panel will light a maximum of 8 device LEDs on one loop to limit the total loop current in the alarm condition. A zone monitor is treated as one device for this purpose. Note 2: Any BGU output bits programmed to operate under cause/effect will be ignored.
16.9Premier AL Global Repeater Panel The Premier AL [panel] repeaters duplicate the panel indications and user controls at a location remote from the main panel. Up to 14 repeaters can be connected to a single panel using an RS485 serial connection.
(steady) or 1 (pulsed), of any loop sounder controllers. 17.Power Supply Load Calculation The power supply load must not exceed a maximum of 4A for Premier AL Panel. To determine the maximum power supply load perform the following steps: 1. Look-up the mains failed panel load in alarm. Enter this value as I panel 2.
Note: A battery and loop calculation spreadsheet is available from your panel supplier to assist in site calculations 18.Battery Standby Capacity Calculation This section describes how to calculate the minimum required standby battery capacity for the control panel. To determine the battery capacity, perform the following steps: 1.
An auxiliary supply is available to power external field equipment from the panel. This is nominally rated at 28V (24V for Premier AL Global Network Repeater) but varies during mains failed conditions. The maximum load is 500mA, the output is fused and fuse failure will be indicated as a panel fault.

Figure 12 – Class change input circuit configuration 19.4Alarm Circuits The Premier AL panel have two alarm circuits, each rated at 1A. The circuits are reverse polarity monitored for open and short circuit faults. To allow monitoring all devices must be polarised. To prevent damage to the control panel bells must also have a suppression diode fitted as shown in Figure 13.
To comply with EN54-2 there should be no more than 32 devices fitted between isolators. This includes conventional devices fitted to zone monitor outstation, however Zeta Alarm systems recommends that no more that 20 detectors or the equivalent load between two isolators. Exceeding this quantity may prevent the loop from powering up correctly.

1. Introduction Thank you for purchasing this ZETA ALARM SYSTEMS control panel , PREMIER AL GLOBAL NETWORK REPEATER This document contains all the information necessary for the end user to operate the GLOBAL NETWORK REPEATER. These panels are functionally identical and differ only in the number of loops and the physical packaging.
Written by: A.C. Amended by GG Checked by: JBJ 2.2 The Alert Condition A pre-alarm is indicated if the analogue value of a smoke detector rises above a pre- determined level, but not sufficiently to indicate a fire condition. It may indicate that a fire condition is imminent.
Written by: A.C. Amended by GG Checked by: JBJ 2.3 The Fault Condition A fault is indicated if any part of the system enters an abnormal condition. The panel responds as follows: • The COMMON FAULT LED pulses. If the fault is with an alarm circuit the ALARM FAULT/DISABLEMENT LED will also pulse.
Written by: A.C. Amended by GG Checked by: JBJ 2.5 The System Fault Condition In the event of a complete system failure a system fault will be indicated. The panel responds as follows: • The SYSTEM FAULT and GENERAL FAULT LED illuminate. All other LEDs will be extinguished.
Written by: A.C. Amended by GG Checked by: JBJ 3. Routine Maintenance The following maintenance program should be followed. 3.1 Daily Attention A check should be made every day to ascertain the following: 1. The panel indicates normal operation or, if not, that any fault has been recorded in the log-book and the recommended actions have been taken.
4.3 Adjustable Sensitivity Modes The Premier AL and Global Network Repeater panels can be configured to automatically adjust device sensitivity according to the time of day. Three different sensitivity levels can be assigned to each point.
4.6 Test Functions The following test functions are local only, and are available through the user menu: • View point status – displays current analogue value type code and status bits for an address. • Device Test – allows one or more zones of devices to be tested without operating panel cause/effect and with or without operating sounder devices.
