LPCB APPROVED CFP ALARMSENSE 2/4/8 ZONE FIRE ALARM PANEL THE FIRE PANEL ENCLOSURE The panel is supplied with a plastic detachable lid, a plastic back box and a minimum of two separate PCBs. The relative location of these PCBs is indicated in figure 1 below. The panel can be surface or semi-flush mounted.
LPCB APPROVED CFP ALARMSENSE 2/4/8 ZONE FIRE ALARM PANEL FIRST FIX All system wiring should be installed to meet BS 5839 Part 1 and BS 7671 (Wiring Regulations). Other national standards of installation should be used where applicable. Cable types and limitations Consult Clause 26 of BS 5839 Part 1: Fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings - code of practice for system design, installation, commissioning and maintenance, for detailed information on cables, wiring and other interconnections.
LPCB APPROVED CFP ALARMSENSE 2/4/8 ZONE FIRE ALARM PANEL Fixing the base onto a wall Using the five mounting holes provided (see figure 3 below), fix the base securely onto a vertical wall, ≤2 m mounting height. The mounting holes are suitable for use with No.8-10, or 4-5mm countersunk screws. Assess the condition and construction of the wall and use suitable screw fixings for the in-service weight of the product.
LPCB APPROVED CFP ALARMSENSE 2/4/8 ZONE FIRE ALARM PANEL Typical conventional sounder circuit wiring Four conventional sounder circuits are available on the fire alarm panel. These are designed for use with conventional sounders and bells only. AlarmSense™ sounders should not be used on the conventional sounder circuits.
LPCB APPROVED CFP ALARMSENSE 2/4/8 ZONE FIRE ALARM PANEL Typical auxiliary output wiring Two auxiliary open collector outputs and one auxiliary output connections are available on the panel, as detailed below: Turns on during the panel’s reset cycle. Can be used for resetting fire alarm system devices Reset Output such as roller-shutter doors or beam detectors.
LPCB APPROVED CFP ALARMSENSE 2/4/8 ZONE FIRE ALARM PANEL SECOND FIX Connecting the panel Connecting the panel’s internal connections and PCBs should be undertaken immediately before commissioning. Before you begin, we recommend you check all devices on the zone circuits and conventional sounder circuits are correctly connected (see pages 7 and 8) and that cable integrity is verified throughout the installation.

LPCB APPROVED CFP ALARMSENSE 2/4/8 ZONE FIRE ALARM PANEL Installing the Main Control PCB The panel’s Main Control PCB provides all the 5mm connector blocks for the system’s zone circuits, conventional sounder circuits, auxiliary inputs and auxiliary outputs. It also provides the engineer with access to a wide range of engineering functions, details of which appear later in this manual.
LPCB APPROVED CFP ALARMSENSE 2/4/8 ZONE FIRE ALARM PANEL Connecting the zone circuits and conventional sounder circuits Incoming zone circuits and conventional sounder circuits (if used) should be connected to the relevant connector block on the Main Control PCB as shown in figure 11 below. For typical zone circuit and conventional sounder circuit wiring diagrams, please refer to pages 7 and 8.
LPCB APPROVED CFP ALARMSENSE 2/4/8 ZONE FIRE ALARM PANEL PROGRAMMING THE PANEL An overview of the panel’s controls Three control levels are available on the panel - general user (access level 1), authorised user (access level 2) and engineer (access level 3), as detailed below: General user controls (access level 1) When the panel is in its normal state, the indicator lights on the panel front give a comprehensive overview of the system’s current status.

LPCB APPROVED CFP ALARMSENSE 2/4/8 ZONE FIRE ALARM PANEL Important note: If link PLK1 is fitted on the Main Control PCB (see right) triggering a manual call PLK1 point on any zones programmed for coincidence will activate the alarm sounders and outputs MCP/SOUNDER FUNCTION immediately.
LPCB APPROVED CFP ALARMSENSE 2/4/8 ZONE FIRE ALARM PANEL Accessing the engineer controls Before programming the panel, please refer to pages 14 and 15 for an overview of the various engineering functions available and the effect their implementation will have on the way the system operates. To gain access to the panel’s engineer functions, remove the panel lid using the Torx key provided and press the ACCESS LEVEL THREE FUNCTIONS button on the Main Control PCB (see figure 12 below).
Page 17
LPCB APPROVED CFP ALARMSENSE 2/4/8 ZONE FIRE ALARM PANEL To program non-latching zones ( Note: This function is non-compliant with EN54-2) Press the ACCESS LEVEL THREE FUNCTIONS button until the NONLATCHING light flashes (any zones that are already programmed for non-latching operation will have their Zone Fault lights lit steady). To change the non-latching configuration press the NEXT OPTION button (Zone 1’s Fault light will flash slower than the NONLATCHING light if NOT programmed, or at the same rate if it is).
LPCB APPROVED CFP ALARMSENSE 2/4/8 ZONE FIRE ALARM PANEL FAULT DIAGNOSIS Fault indications When a fault occurs on a critical part of the fire alarm system, the panel responds by activating its internal sounder and illuminating the General Fault light and any other Fault light(s) relating to the fault. The panel’s fault output will also activate (provided it has not been disabled).
LPCB APPROVED CFP ALARMSENSE 2/4/8 ZONE FIRE ALARM PANEL 1.1 Zone faults • To find out if a head out fault has occurred on a zone circuit: Remove the panel’s lid using the Torx key provided and press the ACCESS LEVEL THREE FUNCTIONS button on the Main Control PCB to gain access to the panel’s engineer functions (see below).

LPCB APPROVED CFP ALARMSENSE 2/4/8 ZONE FIRE ALARM PANEL • The battery fuse (F2) is ruptured. Symptoms: The panel runs on Mains, but not on batteries. Suggested actions: Isolate the Mains supply and disconnect the batteries. Remove the Main Control PCB and check the battery fuse (F2) on the Power Supply PCB for continuity. If ruptured check the Power Supply and Main Control PCBs for signs of damage.
LPCB APPROVED CFP ALARMSENSE 2/4/8 ZONE FIRE ALARM PANEL 1.3 System faults System faults are unique in that they do not automatically clear when rectified. Three different types of system fault can occur; watchdog fault, site memory corruption fault or PLL (phase lock loop) fault. •...
LPCB APPROVED CFP ALARMSENSE 2/4/8 ZONE FIRE ALARM PANEL 1.4 Repeater faults • To find out which of the repeater panels are faulty: Remove the panel’s lid using the Torx key provided and press the ACCESS LEVEL THREE FUNCTIONS button on the Main Control PCB to gain access to the panel’s engineer functions (see below). CFP ALARMSENSE PANEL CONTROLS HEAD SYSTEM...
LPCB APPROVED CFP ALARMSENSE 2/4/8 ZONE FIRE ALARM PANEL STANDBY BATTERY CALCULATION GUIDE The standby time of the fire alarm panel, after the Mains has failed, depends on the quiescent loading of the panel, the alarm load of the panel, and the capacity of the batteries. Note: LPCB approved systems must use 3.2Ah batteries (YUCEL Y3.2-12).
