16 separate zones, depending on the installed configuration. The ERACLE 16 must be installed according to the Fire Alarm Installation Regulations, mandatory for the territory of the respective country. The electrical power supply to the panel must be isolated and must not be capable of being accidentally switched off.

Attention: It is possible that the battery might not be charged at the panel initial start-up. In this case the BATT LOW/LOST at the control module and the GENERAL FAULT at the front panel will light on until the battery will be charged up to the required level.

Before connecting or disconnecting the expander you SHOULD check whether the main and the stand-by power supplies are OFF! The metal box of ERACLE 16 can accommodate up to 4-zone expanders. To each zone can be connected up to 32 conventional detectors with consumption <200µA at normal operation mode and unlimited number of manual call points.

4. CONNECTING 4.1 Relay Module 43ECR032 43ECR032 is a supplementary module which is located outside the ERACLE 16 Alarm Panel box. The 43ECR032 contains 8 changeover contact relays. When using all 16 zones, the ERACLE 16 needs two relay modules.

4.2 Repeater Panel A second ERACLE 16 can be connected to the ERACLE 16 Fire Alarm panel as Slave. The function of the Slave is to double the light and sound indication and the button control of the first panel at a distance up to 1000 m. For the purpose, to both of the panels have to be assigned specific priorities: The first fire alarm panel shall be the system Master and the second - Slave.
Up to 32 conventional fire detectors and an unlimited number of manual call points can be connected to each circuit. Figure 23 shows how to connect detectors within a zone. Figure 23.

The purpose of introducing a DOUBLE Action mode is to avoid false alarms. Where ERACLE 16 has been programmed to function in this mode, in the case of a fire signal, the panel does not alarm at once but waits for the alarm event to be repeated within a specific time interval - Figure 25.
