  • Page 31: Functional Description

    The system can accept various addresses units with any combination of these devices being connected to any single loop, the panels having loop capacities two. The ANTARES panel is based on the use of a Master Processor display/control card communicating with a two loop drive Slave Processor card.

  • Page 32: Device Indications

    DEVICE INDICATIONS The Slave Processor scans each address and determines which type of unit is connected at each location on each of the two loops. This data is used for subsequent scanning of the addresses in order to control and obtain information from the device correctly.

  • Page 72: Installation

    CHAPTER 4 INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING AND MAINTENANCE INSTALLATION The installation of the fire detection and alarm system must comply with the current editions of: The IEE wiring regulations. The British Standard for Fire Detection and alarm systems for buildings. Care should be taken not to install the cables in close proximity to high voltage cables or in areas likely to induce electrical interference.

  • Page 73: Cable Termination And Internal Routings

    Satisfactory operation of the system with other cable types cannot be guaranteed especially when not wired to the appropriate regulations, i.e. loop wiring run with high voltage (A.C. mains and above) cabling. Multi-core Cables It is not permissible to run more than one detection loop in single cable, but a four core cable can be used for the feed and return of an individual loop, however, to preserve the integrity of the loop it is recommended that the feed and return have different paths around the building.

  • Page 74: Static Sensitive Devices

    Cable Routing :- The internal cables must be kept to the absolute minimum length from the cable gland to the terminating position within the enclosure. Special attention should be made not to cross over other cables where possible as this may generate interference/electrical noise.

  • Page 75: Panel Mounting

    PANEL MOUNTING To facilitate fixing and alignment, all panels, irrespective of size, are provided with a single 'keyhole' near the top of the box and six indented mounting holes . It is not necessary to remove the backplate or outer door to mount the panel. Additional boxed power supply/ancillary equipment units can be mounted in a similar manner.

Connect the a.c. mains voltage to the terminal block on the switch mode power supply and perform the following tests.

  • Page 78: Voltage Tests

    Re-check that the +ve and -ve legs of each loop have a reading greater than 20 MΩ with respect to the panel earth stud. Re-check that all sounder circuits have a 4K7 resistance between the legs and that each leg has a reading greater than 20 MΩ with respect to the panel earth stud. No external wiring should be connected to the control panel PCBs.

  • Page 79: Testing Loops Of Detectors

    If all is correct the VFD will display: LOGGING DEVICES. If any faults are found the panel will record a system fault, light the appropriate LEDs and display an appropriate ERROR MESSAGE. It is possible that the yellow fault lights inside the panel are illuminated.

  • Page 80: Testing Device Operation

    4.9.4 Testing Device Operation Now that the detectors are all on line, check that they are all signalling back to the panel correctly. This can be done at this stage with the bells disconnected. Select Test Mode via the keypad for operation. Set off devices connected to the system, the message that there is a fire should be shown on the display and the FIRE LEDs on the front panel should light.

  • Page 81: Maintenance

    4.10 MAINTENANCE Maintenance of equipment extraneous to the panel is detailed in the appropriate manufacturer's literature. The back-up batteries are maintenance free. The components used in the control panels are of sufficient quality to withstand the life expectancy of the panel, of 15 years. All critical printed circuit boards are self monitoring and therefore should only be replaced as required.
