Introduction

The Panel provides all of the sophisticated features required of a leading edge
analogue addressable fire system along with the simple operation and neat
installation demanded by installers and building users .
The panel can be flush or surface mounted and the generously sized metal back box
allows ample facilities for rear or top cable entries .
The panels are available in either Single or Two Loop Configuration .
A loop connected and a network connected repeater panel is available (see
equipment listing page 10) .
A comprehensive range of ancillary devices is available to operate with the Panel,
including Optical, photo-thermal and heat detectors, base mounted and stand alone
sounders (including an IP67 version) a loop powered beacon and a wide range of
input and output interfaces .
Each of the Panel system components has been specifically designed to operate as
part of a Panel system, this provides an assurance that the panel, the detectors, the
interfaces and the ancillaries are all fully compatible with each other and that the full
range of system functionality is supported by each device .

Project planning

The following is a typical program and timetable for a Panel installation project, once
the initial order has been received:
1 . Project meeting
Installer and user to be present; system specifications, schematic diagram and
proposed circuit drawing to be available . Panel Installation & Commissioning Guide to
be provided .
2 . Equipment fix
Typically 2 week's notice is required for equipment to be delivered . Cable to be
installed and bases/back boxes to be fitted . Then fire detectors, call points, alarm
sounders, isolator units and interface units to be installed .
3 . Address schedule
Schedule of sensor locations to be completed by installer and returned to enable
System programming .
4 . Auto learn
Fire panel/repeater panels to be installed and terminated . System to be powered up
by installer and auto learn mode activated (see Auto Learn section) . System to be
tested and verified by installer, prior to final commissioning .
