Page 18: Analogue Loop(S) Detail
ANALOGUE LOOP(S) DETAIL The Analogue Loop provides the connection to all the analogue addressable devices and loop powered sounders. Unless the loop return is closed and completed, the panel will not be able to monitor its integrity (open and short circuit monitoring). Devices that can be fitted to the Analogue Loop include smoke sensors, heat sensors, Zone Monitor Units (ZMU’s), I/O units, loop sounders and manual call-points. -
Page 19: Auxiliary Fire Relays (2) And Fault Relay (1) Detail
AUXILIARY FIRE RELAYS (2) AND FAULT RELAY (1) DETAIL Two auxiliary fire relay outputs are provided on the NODE board. These outputs are activated when a fire is detected (unless specifically inhibited). They are labeled AUX1 and AUX2. Under the presence of any Fire Alarm condition, these 2 relays will be energized. -

Page 21: Commissioning
COMMISSIONING INTRODUCTION Commissioning involves checking that all connections have been properly made and all hardware is functioning correctly. This means the system must be initially installed in accordance with the previous section of this manual. The panel default mode is ‘Installation mode’. In Installation Mode the green SYSTEM ON LED will flash on and off. The panel will automatically detect and memorize all the devices connected to the loop in the system in “real time”. -
Page 22: Getting The Panel Running
GETTING THE NODE+ RUNNING Apply AC power to the Panel. SETTING PANEL ADDRESSES Each NODE+ panel needs a unique address. The Standard NODE+ addresses are set using the DIL switches on the NODE PCB. The first 6 switches set the panel address number (0 - 32). GETTING A CHAMELEON REPEATER PANEL RUNNING The power supply to the repeater can be obtained directly from the auxiliary power supply output on a chosen panel (source panel). -
Page 23: Getting The System Running
To program device and zone text messages, it is essential to use the Chameleon Connector PC based software. To enter programming mode you need to “log in” as specified at the beginning of this manual. The Panel must be powered up and must have initialized itself i.e. - Page 24 Last: Loop polling starting. Review the faults (using the FAULT QUEUE REVIEW key if there is more than one). Note down the messages, then remove power and rectify the faults Power up the system, let it initialize and enter programming mode 10.

Page 25: Wrapping Up Installation And Commissioning
Detector Tests If the devices have been assigned to Zones (via the programming menus) then it is possible to test the detectors with limited or no sounder operation. Detector Tests by Zone 1. Before starting clearing all faults, put the system into programming Mode and press SYSTEM RESET. 2. - Page 26 BATTERY FAULT MESSAGE TEST This test should be performed for each set of batteries. Test only the actual battery connections. After a short delay, the SUPPLY FAULT LED will be ON, the panel buzzer sounds and the "Battery Fault" message appears on the LCD Display.

Page 28: Programing Functions Description
KEYS TO USE WITHIN FUNCTIONS Most functions use some or all of the following keys: 1▲ and 3▼ Used to browse through items. Often used to change fields (move the cursor). It will also be used 2► when required to scroll through loops. ENTER Used to select items and store changes. - Page 29 Each Zone can be assigned two sounder groups. The first Sounder Group is activated when the first fire is detected, the second Sounder Group is activated when a second fire is detected in the same Zone. 3-3 Assign I/O Groups to Zones I/O Groups (set up using the I/O programming functions) can be assigned to Zones.
- Page 30 Configuration, Sounder Groups and evacuate requests. ‘E’ indicates enabled ‘D’ indicates disabled When programming mode is exited, all sounders that have been disabled can be reviewed using the DISABLED (QUEUE REVIEW) button. 4-4 Assign Sounder Group to Device Allows a Sounder Group to be assigned to a detector. When the detector goes into alarm then the assigned Sounder Group will be activated (Sounder Groups only function when Sounder Configuration is set to PROGRAMMED).
- Page 31 0 indicates normal operation X indicates that the specific sounder will operate immediately Sounders set to immediate will also override any Sounder Group settings for that specific sounder. Sounders set to immediate operation will sound continuously (pulsing settings will be overridden). 5 Input/Output - Disable &...
- Page 32 There is only one I/O timer so once it has expired events activating further delayed I/O groups will cause immediate I/O operation. NOTE: Delays will only occur if the front panel ACTIVE DELAYS button has been set to on. Specific I/O modules (function 5-6) and specific detectors (function 6-1-6) can be set to override this delay.
- Page 33 6-1-5 Set Immediate Evacuate for Device When a detector set to immediate evacuate reports a fire, all Sounder Group settings are ignored. All sounders are operated immediately as if the Sounder Configuration was set to PRESET and all delays are ignored. 6-1-6 Device Activation Overrides Delays Allows a detector to be set to override all zonal and global sounder and I/O delay timers.
- Page 34 NOTE: When this setting is changed it is necessary to write individually to every ZEOS device connected to the system. This can take 60 seconds. During this time do not select any ZEOS specific programming functions (6-3-X). 6-3-3 Disable Specific Flashing LEDs Use this function to individually disable the LED flash when polled on ZEOS detectors.
- Page 35 Automatic Addressing Devices CAN BE MIXED WITH OTHER TYPES OF DEVICES ON THE SAME LOOP. Each time an Auto-address-device is programmed it takes the next free address on its loop. General Guidelines Before starting the programming procedure, care should be taken with the following: a) Supply OK.
- Page 36 This procedure is then repeated for each blank auto-address-device on the loop. There should be a time interval of approx. 10 seconds between auto-address-device activations. NOTE: If two auto-address-devices are simultaneously activated, neither will be programmed with an address. One auto-address-device must be activated (and programmed) at a time. Physically removing any device on a loop in ASET mode will free up the device address and the next auto-address-device to be activated could potentially be assigned that address.
- Page 37 TROUBLESHOOTING Applicable for Function 6-4 only a) Auto-address-device does not program If during the course of programming an auto-address-device, the new address is not programmed in the module, verify that the connections to both the loop and the device are correctly made. Confirm supply polarity of the device. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
- Page 38 NOTE: Using this function AFTER ‘7-4 Test Zones’ and ‘6-4-1 Activate ASET Mode (SAM)’ will NOT change the settings for the zones already in test mode and the loops already in ASET mode. 7-4 Test Zones Select the Zones you wish to put into test mode. Exit programming mode, but DO NOT press SYSTEM RESET as this clears all test modes.
- Page 39 In DEVICE MODE the evacuate timer is started when a device that has been configured to start the Evacuate Timer detects a fire. In GLOBAL MODE the Evacuate Timer is started when any device detects a fire. NOTE: For DEVICE MODE to work at least one device must be set to start the timer. See programming function 8-1-5. Once started, the evacuate timer is not stopped by pressing ALARM SILENCE, although ALARM SILENCE will still silence the sounders once they have been activated.
