Introduction General Information The FirePro FP-08451 Fire Control Panel is a combined detection and extinguishant system, and is compliant for use in both marine (AMSA NSCV) and vehicle installations (AS5062). The FIP (fire indicator panel) incorporates: 2x Detection circuits; 1x Extinguishing Discharge circuit;...
Design Considerations Power Supply Input The FP-08451 Fire Control Panel provide a single power supply input that is compatible with 12 / 24vDC. If adequate power is not supplied, the LEDs will not be illuminated, and the control panel will not operate. The main power supply should be connected directly to a battery or power source, not through a distribution board.
It is necessary to complete all wiring and any programming of the detection mode prior to mounting the panel. Dimensions and relevant clearances for installing the FP-08451 Control Panel are below. A Dash Mount Bracket (P/N FP-08451B) is also available and may be used if the minimum clearances cannot be met.
Cabling Requirements When constructing extension leads the supplied Deutsch Plugs must be used to ensure water- proof connections are made throughout the installation. 1. Cut cable to required length and strip outer insulation to approximately 25-30mm. 2. Strip inner insulation to approximately 6mm and using a Deutsch Crimping tool, fix pins to the exposed ends of the cable, including the earth where applicable.
access and should be used to minimise the required extension leads, and to bypass obstacles. Installation FirePro generators must remain disconnected until system is completed and fire control panel is no longer in a fault or alarm condition. The FirePro Test Module (P/N FP-08800) can be used to take the panel out of a fault condition.

2. Agent Released Circuit: The Thermal Fuse Coupling (P/N FP-08825) should be screwed into the thermal port on one of the installed FirePro generators and connected to the control panel. 3. Siren/Strobe Circuit: Mount the siren/strobe (P/N FP-08940) in a location where it is visible and audible in all points with the risk area and connect to the “Siren”...

The Siren & Shutdown Module allows for programming of the delay prior to shutting down equipment and for the relay to be set to either normally open or normally closed Note: The Siren/Strobe or end-of-line diode must be connected for the relay to operate. Delay Timer Switch Mode Relay State Switch...

5. Circuit 2 Alarm Circuit: This circuit is ALARM ONLY and will only operate the siren/strobe. Connections for detection and manual actuator are the same as Circuit 1 Alarm. If detection is not used, the supplied end-of-line plugs (marked green) must be connected to the Circuit 2 Alarm output.

6. Discharge Circuit: This circuit should remain disconnected until all other circuits are connected. The control panel must not be in an alarm/fault condition when the FirePro generators are connected, as this may cause an accidental discharge. A Test Module (P/N FP-08800) should be connected to take the control panel out of fault condition and for any commissioning.
Note: If a Discharge Delay Module (P/N FP-08850) is installed, panel must be programmed for extended discharge. Operation LED Indicators The FP-08451 Control Panel uses LED indicators to notify the operator of the condition of the control panel and each of the monitored circuits. If an LED is illuminated, it indicates the following: Circuit...
Reset Function To reset the control panel, press and hold Mode Switch 1 until 2 beeps are heard. Following a reset, the control panel will automatically isolate. To restore the control panel to normal operation, press Mode Switch 1 and ensure the “Isolated” LED turns off. Note: The control panel cannot be reset if the activation sequence has been initiated.
Commissioning and Test Procedure Commissioning should be performed when the fire control panel is not in an alarm/fault condition. Note: No personnel should be in the risk area until the fire system is fully isolated. Six Monthly Test Procedure: Isolate the control panel (see 7.2 Isolate Function) and disconnect the any installed FirePro aerosol generators.
Discharge Testing from External Devices : Each detection and manual actuator device connected to must be tested individually. Perform an automatic discharge test by activating the detectors or manual actuators. Following the activation sequence ensure the Test Module has operated. Isolate the panel to silence the alarm.
Procedure. Troubleshooting The FP-08451 Control Panel provides a comprehensive fault monitoring system that will detect any open-circuit in the Circuit 1 Alarm Output, Circuit 2 Alarm Output, Siren/Strobe Output, Discharge Output and Agent Released Input and any malfunctions of the control panel’s internal components.
RFI Environments The control panel’s circuit arrangement provides a number of layers of electronic protection designed to minimise the effects of electromagnetic emissions and prevent accidental discharges of the suppression system. Shielded, fire rated cable (FP-09500) is required to be used throughout every installation to protect the fire system from electromagnetic emissions.
Vehicle and Mobile Plant Installation Notes (AS5062) For AS5062 vehicle installations, a risk assessment must be completed all equipment, and the design agreed upon by the installer and operators. The risk assessment should include identification of all fuel and ignition sources and these should be considered in the design of the fire system.
