Page 5: Introduction
Quadnet Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Introduction This Manual is intended as a guide to the engineering and commissioning principles of the Quadnet Addressable Intelligent Fire Alarm and Detection system, and covers the system hardware information only. Due to the complexity and inherent importance of a system covering a ‘Life Protection Risk’, training on this equipment is essential, and commissioning should only be carried out by competent and approved persons. -
Page 6: The Quadnet System
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Quadnet Panel is a 2 box solution comprising a Control Panel (as per this manual) and a matching Power Supply Unit. This manual describes the Quadnet Control Panel. Please refer to the Quadnet Power Supply Unit Installation Instructions for details of how to install the Power Supply Unit and connect it to the Quadnet Control Panel. -
Page 7: Control Panel
Quadnet Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Control Panel Mounting the Control Panel First identify the proposed location for the control panel. Ensure that the control panel will be easily accessible, and that account is taken of any subsequent work that may affect access. It should be located at the most likely point of access for the fire services. -

Quadnet Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Cabinet Installation This backbox is compatible with the Quadnet range of Fire Alarm Control Equipment and is common to the range of control panels, repeater panels and power supply units. Surface Mounting At least four of the five mounting holes should be used to secure the cabinet to a solid wall using suitable screws of at least 50mm in length. -

It can detect the type of the device and, in the case of devices manufactured from March 2010, the subtype from the above list as well. For devices manufactured prior to this date, the Quadnet OSP will attempt to detect the subtype and use the appropriate DLUs. The engineer can override the automatically detected subtype if required ie. -

Quadnet Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Control Panel Terminals The Termination and PSU PCB (also known as the backplane) is located at the rear of the main control panel back box. The Loop cards may be plugged into the loop card slots on the backplane. To avoid damage, ensure that the panel is powered down whilst connecting and removing the loop cards. - Page 17 The loop card firmware may be upgraded on site using the external flash utility. The link pin should be left connected for correct field operation and removed for firmware upgrade. Note that firmware upgrades are only permitted to be carried out by Fike engineers or trained installation engineers operating under specific instructions from Fike Technical Support.

Page 22: Network
Network Network Topology and Cabling In order to use the networking features of the Quadnet system, each control panel must have the optional Quadnet network card fitted onto the control panel main PCB (CIE). Quadnet repeater panels automatically include this network card as standard since repeaters can only be used on the network. -
Page 23: Network Connection Schematic
NETWORK CARD SCREW CONNECTOR Before any networking facilities may be used, the optional Quadnet network card must be fitted to the control panel main PCB (CIE) as shown above. Network cabling connects to the Network terminals on the backplane PCB. - Page 24 Quadnet Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual All network cables should be 2-core 1.5mm screened and fire-rated. The cable screen must be connected to the control panel (using the SCRN terminal provided, not at any earthing point) at one end only using the terminals provided.

The system can only indicate faults present when the loop is fully initialised. If the initialisation fails then you will need to find faults manually. You may run the initialisation backwards by reversing the loop connections, or one ended by removing one end of the loop. You may also use the Quadnet OSP software... -

8. Test for correct operation. NOTE: It is imperative that the correct version of OSP is used to match your version of Quadnet control panel. The use of an incompatible version may result in incorrect operation of the control panel. In particular, do not use a V2.xx series OSP with a V3.xx series control panel and do not use a V3.xx series OSP with a V2.xx series control panel. -

Page 48: Initialisation
Quadnet Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Initialisation Normal Readings Ensure that your addressable device loop has the correct continuity and insulation integrity. With an electronic test meter there should be a continuity reading of approximately 1.2 ohms per 100m of 1.5mm cable, and no continuity should be read between cores. -
Page 49: Initialisation Faults
Quadnet Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual The number shown under Init Complete gives a count of the total number of devices initialised on the system. If initialisation is completed correctly this is followed by a tick, whereas if there is any failure in initialisation this is followed by a cross. - Page 50 Quadnet Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual All devices up to that point will be operational, but devices beyond will not be active, as the control panel will not initialise from Loop End 2 as it becomes very difficult to understand fully where the problem lies.
-
Page 51: Earth Faults
Quadnet Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual may be replaced. It is not advisable to leave a system with a device missing (positive cores linked together) in this way as all future points will be displaced. The loop must be re-initialised to clear this fault. Always wait at least 3 minutes between stopping a loop and reinitialising. - Page 52 Quadnet Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Eg, if the resistance reading at Loop end 1 were 9 ohm, and at Loop end 2 were 3 ohm then it may be estimated that the short circuit lay approximately 9/(3+9) = ¾ of the way round the addressable device circuit from Loop end 1.
