Fire System Monitoring Panels About this manual: This manual is written for those who perform tasks associated with the installation, operation and maintenance of fire suppression systems intended for use in mobile and transportable equipment. Chubb Fire & Security Pty Ltd (“Chubb”) assumes no responsibility for the application of any systems other than those addressed in this manual.
Fire System Monitoring Panels 1: FSM-S and FSM-ES panels Introduction The FSM-S (Standard model) and FSM-ES (Engine shutdown model) panels comprise a combination indicator panel and user interface. The indicator panel provides visual and audible indication of system status, alarms, and faults and the user interface incorporates a RESET, TEST (LED’s and Buzzer), DIM (LED Brightness) and ACK (Acknowledge/Silence Buzzer) features.
Fire System Monitoring Panels Models Fire System Monitor – ES (Engine Shutdown) Fire System Monitor – S (Standard) Part Number: 001-924 Part Number: 001-924.1 Figure 2 – FSM-ES Figure 3 – FSM-S Power Supply Both panels operates on a 8 to 35 volts operating range (nominal 12 or 24 volts) and the preferred power supply arrangement for is through a battery isolator or ignition circuit (Fig.
Fire System Monitoring Panels Field Wiring The panels comprise of an IP65 rated enclosure and IP69 rated Deutsch DT series connectors. The pin out configuration of each panel is displayed in Figure 5 & 6 Inputs • Power input • Low pressure switch input •...
Fire System Monitoring Panels 2: Installation Before installing a FSM panel, the equipment and the operators cabin should be surveyed to ensure that the intended mounting location will; • be visible and accessible to the operator in their normal position; •...

Fire System Monitoring Panels FSM-ES – Configuring shutdown delay period A shutdown time delay is incorporated in the FSM-ES to allow the equipment operator to safely bring the equipment to rest before the shutdown is activated. A ‘DELAY’ button is provided for the operator on the display panel (Fig.
Fire System Monitoring Panels Interfacing Once the panel has been installed, connection to power, pressure switches and engine shutdown (if applicable) can be made via the Deutsch connector (Fig 11). For field wiring purposes, each panel is kitted with the mated plug (DETAIL A in Fig 11) and a pin diagram (See Figure 12 &...
Fire System Monitoring Panels Figure 13 - Detail A, FSM-S Field Wiring Pressure switches Two pressure switches inputs are available for use with the FSM panels. If the panels are being installed in conjunction with Chubb PEFS systems, the switches that are specified for use are; 1.
Fire System Monitoring Panels Pressure low switch The pressure low switch will open circuit if the suppression system develops a leak or if the system discharges. The open circuit condition will cause the ‘LOW PRESSURE’ LED to illuminate and the audible alarm to sound once every ten 10 seconds.

Fire System Monitoring Panels 3: Manual Controls DIM button This button control brightness of LED indicators on both panels. Hold the ‘DIM’ button down until the desired level is reached (Fig 17). Test button This button will test all indicators on both panels by illuminating all LEDS and sounding the audible alarm. The test mode will operate when the ‘TEST’...
Fire System Monitoring Panels Acknowledge function An acknowledgement function is provided on both panels to suppress the audible alarm unit for a period of one (1) hour. Only a ‘LOW PRESSURE’ fault can be acknowledged (silenced). The acknowledge function is activated by;...
Fire System Monitoring Panels 4: Operation Alarm / Discharge An alarm/discharge condition is initiated when an open circuit occurs on the discharge pressure switch input (Pins 5 & 6). An alarm/discharge condition will cause: • The ‘ALARM’ and ‘DISCHARGED’ LED’s to illuminate and latch on. •...
Fire System Monitoring Panels 3: Commissioning A full commissioning test in accordance with AS5062-2006, Fire protection for Mobile and Transportable Equipment, must be completed in order to ensure that the panel is installed correctly and is fully functional. The outcomes of the test should be recorded as part of the fire suppression system commissioning report and completion documentation provided to the customer.
Fire System Monitoring Panels 4: Troubleshooting Failure of a fire system monitoring panel to function properly will likely be caused by one or more of the following conditions: 1. Failure of the power supply 2. Incorrect installation 3. Damaged wiring or corrosion 4.
