General description Previdia Compact Models Previdia Compact is a series of control panels for the management of fire detection and extinguishing systems. This series provides different models of control panels distinguished by certain technical characteristics such as the number of loops and devices that can be managed, the type of cabinet in which the modules are housed, the presence of signalling LEDs on the frontplate and the possibility of managing an extinction channel.

Fire detection and extinguishant system The following table contains a description of the functions associated with the extinction that can be programmed for the control panel inputs and outputs (on-board or on loops, through supervised outputs, such as those of the EM312SR modules).
Previdia-C-DIAL, telephone line Communicator module The optional Previdia-C-DIAL board allows you to connect Previdia Compact control panels to the landline (PSTN) and to the GSM 2G and 3G networks. It manages reporting protocols used by alarm receiving centres. This module allows the control panel to make voice calls and send SMS text messages.
Previdia Compact REP Repeater For installations requiring a system control point other than the point where the Previdia Compact control panel is installed, there are two repeater panel models, that is, devices that allow you to remotely view the information available on the user interface of the control panel.
(Hornet+ network). Each model of the Previdia Compact control panel provides two RS485 ports for the ring connection (for details on the wiring refer to paragraph 3.7 Connecting the Hornet+ network).
Fire detection and extinguishant system Chapter 3 Installation Note: The installation of these control panels must be carried out in full compliance with the local fire regulations, the laws and regulations in force, and in accordance with the instructions and relevant guidelines.
The ends of wires must not be soft soldered in points where they are subject to clamping. 3.3.1 Mains connection EN54: The power-supply system of Previdia Compact control panels is EN54-4 compliant. Attention: Do not power up the system with a non-compliant voltage.

EN54: If the control panel default settings are left unchanged, the I/O 1 output will result as being configured as a type C output for the connection of audible/visual signalling devices.
Installation manual Connection of devices with alarm and fault outputs to channels configured as input The wiring diagram illustrates a connection made to one of I/Ox the “I/O” channels [A], configured as input. The connected device [B] is equipped with a normally closed fault signalling output [C] and a normally open alarm signalling output [D].
Fire detection and extinguishant system Loop connections The connection circuits of the peripheral detection/activation devices are defined as “loops”. These loops start from the output terminals, run through the entire protected area connecting in parallel all the system devices before re-entering on the input terminals.
Installation manual Connecting the Hornet+ network The connection of two or more control panels (Previdia Max, Previdia Compact or repeaters) in a Hornet+ network can be achieved by using two RS485 communication ports. Cables: 4 wire shielded cable Typical impedance 12Ohm...
