General Description
resource-downloads/twinflex/
The Twinflex Hipoint unit allows for audible indication when the system enters an
alarm condition. This device is compatible with the Twinflex 2-wire range of Fire
Alarm equipment and comprises a 2-wire zone-powered sounder. This device may be
installed on the same zone as the Multipoint detector/sounder and associated Twinflex
devices.
Before Installation
The Sounder must be installed in compliance with the control panel installation manual.
The installation must also meet the requirements of any local authority.
Spacing
Fike recommends spacing of sounders in accordance with any local authority.
Device Installation
Fix the back box in a suitable position using at least two screw holes/slots, remembering to allow enough cable length
for installation. All wiring must be installed in compliance with the recommendations laid out by any local authority as
well as any special recommendations documented in the control panel installation manual.
Connections
The cabling used should be of a 2-core 1.5mm2 screened, fire resistant type (e.g. FP200
or equivalent), and is to be wired in the form of a screened 2-core radial circuit (with no
spurs) from the control panel, terminating at the last ("End of Line") device.
No screen connection is allowed for within the device. Incoming and outgoing cable
screens must therefore be connected through using a suitable connector. It is important
to maintain the screen continuity in order to protect against data corruption from
interference.
Once all testing has been carried out on the cabling and continuity & insulation has been
proven, the Hipoint front may be fitted. The Hipoint front is fitted by locating the rubber
seal in the groove on the back box and then pushing the front unit gently home. The four
fixing screws may then be tightened as required.
Remember that the device at the end of the line must have its EOL signal activated using the relevant DIL
switch. Do not use a resistor or capacitor (or another manufacturer's End of Line device) as the end of line, as
this may prevent correct operation of the zone.
