  • Page 6: Introduction

    System Overview The Brooks RFP V2 Series of Residential Fire Alarm Panels complete with the compatible Smoke / Heat Alarms provides an automatic fire detection and warning system designed to meet the requirements of Australian Standard AS3786-2014, AS1603.3:2018 and National Construction Code (NCC) of Australian.
  • Page 7: System Design

    It will give off visible smoke and toxic fumes at much greater levels. For this reason, Brooks has used only photoelectric Smoke Alarms in the RFS V2 system. Research indicates this technology is superior in performance to ionisation in residential applications and is the overall best and most reliable type of smoke alarm technology for use in the modern dwelling.

However, all photoelectric Smoke Alarms are prone to nuisance alarms caused by dust or insect contamination.

    Operation & Installation Manual RFP V2 Series MA225 Rev 1 2.2.4 Connection to RFP V2 Field wiring as shown in Figure 2 below is same as the standard RFP zone wiring. The bi-metallic switch contact is connected between Interconnect and positive terminals (with protection diode and series resistor) on SUB1034 (60⁰) / 1035 (80⁰)

    Operation & Installation Manual RFP V2 Series MA225 Rev 1 Important: These Smoke/Heat Alarms are designed for use in a residential type environment. 2.4.3 Checking Audibility of Smoke / Heat Alarms With the Alarm sounding in its intended location, check that you are able to hear it in each bedroom with the door closed above the sound of your radio.
  • Page 13: Interconnecting Smoke/Heat Alarms

    Interconnecting Smoke/Heat Alarms The Brooks Smoke Alarm EIB650iWX and Heat Alarm EIB603CX provide an interconnect facility to RFP V2 series. When one Smoke/Heat Alarm activates all Smoke/Heat Alarms and panel buzzer will sound, this provides not only an increased sound pressure level but also an alarm warning throughout the entire dwelling. Up to 12 Smoke / Heat Alarms model EIB650iWX, and/or EIB603CX can be interconnected to each zone in RFP V2 series.

    AS3786. Refer to Table 6, page 36 to calculate the battery capacity. 3.7.1 Primary Power Supply / Battery Charger The primary power supply for RFP V2 series is fully regulated switch mode power supply 15V / 50W. Nominal output is adjusted to14.5V (13.8V on the battery terminals), maximum current 3.4A @ 14.5V.
  • Page 22: Termination Of Field Wiring

    MA225 Rev 1 Note: When two batteries are used, it must be connected in parallel to increase the battery backup time. All Brooks residential panels are 12V systems. Termination of Field Wiring All field wiring enters the panel via knock-outs on either top or rear of the cabinet and is then terminated on the Termination Board SUB357B.

    Operation & Installation Manual RFP V2 Series MA225 Rev 1 such as bells, sirens, or flashing lights, strobes and door holders etc. The contact rating of the relays is 1A @ 12V. 3.9.3 Remote Zone Relay Board (SUB600) The board provides a relay output clean contact and 12V non-supervised outputs when an alarm is activated in a specific zone.
  • Page 25: Low Battery

    Operation & Installation Manual RFP V2 Series MA225 Rev 1 3.10.4 Low Battery With the mains disconnected, the panel operates solely off the battery. When the battery reaches a pre-set low level of approximately 12.0 Vdc, the fault sounder will pulse once every 20 seconds to give an audible indication that the system is running low on capacity (all zone fault indicators must remain off).
  • Page 26: Installation

    In order to ensure that voltage drop is kept to a minimum and ensure that Smoke/Heat Alarms operate up to 100m runs, use low resistance cables of ≤ 19.5 Ω/km maximum DC resistance at 20°C with each core at 1.0 mm². BROOKS strongly recommend using the following cable as a minimum: BAC4C1/100 Metre 4 core 1mm²...

    Operation & Installation Manual RFP V2 Series MA225 Rev 1 Commissioning The fire alarm installer shall ensure that all documentation, logbook, handbook (operators and installers manuals), as-installed drawings, and check list are available at the time of commissioning. The fire alarm system installer should rectify any faults in the fire detection and alarm installation, as appropriate, where the results of the commissioning tests are outside the manufacturer's limits.
  • Page 32: Testing

    2. Return the key switch to “ON” position to restore the RFP back to normal. Zone Alarm Test Brooks do not recommend testing with smoke or heat as the results can be misleading unless special equipment is used. WARNING: DO NOT TEST WITH FLAME, this will damage both the Alarm and the house.
