The Radial circuits can be used as inputs or outputs to any cause and effect groups on the panel. The Fusion panel is provided with an internal power supply module. The smaller FBUS models have a 3 Amp module and the FBUL versions have a 5 Amp module. These modules Comply with the requirements of EN54-4 :1988 and provide temperature compensated battery management, charging and earth fault monitoring.
Suitable precautions must be taken when handling circuit boards. Never insert or remove boards or components, or connect cables, with the mains power on or batteries connected. Fusion Installation & Commissioning Manual Approved document No UI-FBU-01 issue 3.0...
ESD damage is not always evident immediately, faults can manifest themselves at anytime in the future. All pcbs should be stored in static shielded bags (silvered) for safe keeping, when not mounted in the control panel. Fusion Installation & Commissioning Manual Approved document No UI-FBU-01 issue 3.0...
The Fusion has loop isolators included in the panel, and external loop isolators must be included in the loop wiring. A single short circuit fault will only disable devices in the section of wiring between isolators.
(see diagram) providing it meets the appropriate national wiring regulations. Recommended Batteries The following batteries are approved for use with the Fusion control panels. Yuasa NP range of sealed lead acid batteries or equivalent. 2 of each required for 24volt operation FBUS small 3A version of control panel.
Knockouts should be removed with a sharp tap at the rim of the knock- out using a flat 6mm broad-bladed screwdriver. Use of excessive force will damage the enclosure around the knockout. Fusion Installation & Commissioning Manual Approved document No UI-FBU-01 issue 3.0...
PCB support pillars. Important. For the FBUL (large fusion cabinet) to maintain the integrity of Access level 3 and prevent unauthorised access to the internal parts of the control panel. M3 torx screws must be fitted to the locations at the bottom and top of the inner door as shown.

In the Fusion panel each loop or 4 way radial card is controlled by it’s own independent micro- controller, so no more than 126 devices would be affected by a system fault on a single processor.
NETWORKING The Fusion utilises CAN (controller area networking) Protocol to provide a fast reliable network of up to 16 control panels and / or repeater panels. Up to 1,000 metres of cable can be used over the network. The recommended cable for use with Control panel networking is a Screened twisted pair fire resistant cable.
The actions to be taken in the event of a fire alarm should be fully documented and implemented immediately upon hearing the alarm. After the event, note the event details, i.e. the activated zone and the device details if not already determined.
