12 VDC and which reports the detected fire alarm by increasing the supply current to at least 10 mA. 1.1 Loops Two detector loops (for ICAS 500-IDx or CHOR-E detectors or other compatible detectors) Each loop can be disabled and enabled separately at access level 2.
SMALL FIRE PANEL IMC-MD User manual of this output after the panel goes into the fire alarm state (access level 2) can be enabled or disabled and the size of this delay can be set up to 10 minutes (access level 3). When the delay is active, this delay can be bridged at access level 1 and the FIRE output reacts immediately.
SMALL FIRE PANEL IMC-MD User manual Installation For all activities described in this chapter a skilled person qualification is required for the executing person. 2.1 Location The panel must be located in a dry place and not exposed to water. Connect the peripherals (detectors, sirens ...) using a cable type AF CEI 20-22 IEC 332 or VD-04 shielded cable or equivalent.
SMALL FIRE PANEL IMC-MD User manual Picture 1 - Connection points 2.3 Possible configuration Some panel options can be configured using jumpers J1 through J4 on the keyboard (upper board). The switching on is done by a soldering of wiring jumpers. This activity may only be performed by a skilled person.
12 VDC after detecting the fire alarm. This makes it possible to connect for example ICAS smoke detectors type CHOR-E or CHOR-IQ which when the voltage increasing to 12V activate the internal siren and the loop can function as a siren. You can also connect 500-IDx detectors.
Besides the standard setting it is possible to have a permanent voltage on the detector loops of 8V or 12V. However these settings are not compatible with all options of the ICAS recommended detectors. The procedures are described in the Maintenance section.
