Installation & Commissioning of Control & Monitoring Add On’s PCB Removal / Replacement If the PCB’s have to be removed the following precautions should be observed; Removing the door will provide better access to the boards and ensure the hinges are not accidentally stressed.
Installation & Commissioning of Control & Monitoring Add On’s Adding Control and Monitoring Facilities A combination of one of each type of board / card, but not all of them, can be mounted on the back pan or the front panel of the FACP to provide additional features to a standard panel. All board inputs or outputs are programmable to any combination of zones.
Installation & Commissioning of Control & Monitoring Add On’s Address Setting and Terminating the Communications Bus Address Setting ( SW1 ) ZoneSense PLUS Except for the LED Mimics in FACP’s there can only be one (1) Board / Card of each type so the address on each board is set to 1.
Taking note of the Common 0v terminals connect the voltage free contacts as shown below. Note: only the first 8 are functionally programmable in ZoneSense PLUS There can only be 1 Input Board so the address on each board is set to 1.
Installation & Commissioning of Control & Monitoring Add On’s Relay Board ( Remote ) BRD25EWRB - B In the remote version the Comms In and Out Terminal Block TB9 is cabled to the RS 485 Comms terminal block TB3 on the Main Card 302 – 7690 or LED Mimic and can be installed up to 1.2kms from the FACP.
Installation & Commissioning of Control & Monitoring Add On’s Fan Termination Board BRD25FTB The Fan Termination Board interfaces between the Fire Fan Module and the plant/equipment it controls via the 24 volt 250mA Start, Stop, current limited, relay outputs and monitor inputs. Programmable monitoring of the field equipment is achieved using 0 volts as an input level to indicate run, fault and stop conditions of that equipment.
Installation & Commissioning of Control & Monitoring Add On’s Switch and Indicator Card BRD25GIB - B This Card can effectively perform 2 different functions. Firstly the indicators monitor the first 8 inputs of the 16 Way Input Termination Board while secondly the switches can be programmed to manually operate a specific relay in the system.
Installation & Commissioning of Control & Monitoring Add On’s Zone Mimic Indicator Card ( Externally Powered. ) BRD25GIB -C The externally powered Zone Mimic Indicator Card operates in the same way as does the internally powered version. The only difference is that the 27 volt power supply is independent of the FACP.
Installation & Commissioning of Control & Monitoring Add On’s 4.11 Sounder Board BRD25SOPB -A The Sounder Board expands the number of sounders that can be used on an FACP to 8. Each solid state output is rated at 24VDC / 500mA. and requires a 10KΩ End of Line (EOL) resistor regardless whether or not a sounder is wired to the circuit.

Installation & Commissioning of Control & Monitoring Add On’s Disabled Mode Disabled mode is selected by placing the keyswitch at the Agent Release Module in the Disabled position. This electrically isolates the activation circuit, and results in the following: Disabled indicators at the Agent Release Module and Local Control Station are lit. Agent Release Module and Local Control Station buzzers sound.

Installation & Commissioning of Control & Monitoring Add On’s When the second zone goes into alarm, then the following steps are followed Auto release activated LED on the Agent Release Module and Local Control Station goes steady Stage 2 outputs are pulsed during the pre-release delay to +24VDC Start optional pre-release delay.
Installation & Commissioning of Control & Monitoring Add On’s Isolation If the trigger zones are isolated by the FACP, then the trigger zone isolated indicator at the Agent Release Module and Local Control Station is illuminated, and the system inoperative output is operated.
Installation & Commissioning of Control & Monitoring Add On’s Agent Release Module PCB Layout The PCB is fitted with two 2 x RJ45 connectors CN6 & 7 for power (27VDC) and communications (RS485) for communications between the Module and the FACP Main Card. Quiescent Current: 28.5mA RS485 &...

Installation & Commissioning of Control & Monitoring Add On’s Solenoid & Metron This input relies on N/O or N/C relay contacts used in conjunction with 22KΩ EOL and 4K7Ω series resistors. The type of agent release mechanism and contacts used has to be set in the Programming Menu for the input to function as per the manufacturers specifications and be in accordance with the relevant Standard.
Installation & Commissioning of Control & Monitoring Add On’s Appendix: Adding to the System Menu & Programming In this example 1 Input Board, 1 Relay Board and 1 Sounder Board will be added to the system. The Display and Zone Labels will then be edited. Step 1: Go to the SYSTEM MENU and then follow the procedure as set out below.
