MAGDUO Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Introduction This Manual is intended as a guide to the engineering and commissioning principles of the MAGDUO 2- wire Fire Detection and Alarm system and covers the system hardware information only. Due to the complexity and inherent importance of a system covering a ‘Life Protection Risk’, training on this equipment is essential and commissioning should only be carried out by competent and approved persons.
MAGDUO Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual This equipment when installed is subject to the EMC directive 2014/108/EC. It is also subject to UK Statutory Instrument 2006 No. 3418. To maintain EMC compliance, this system must be installed as defined within this manual. Any deviation from this renders the installer liable for any EMC problems that may occur either to the equipment or to any other equipment affected by the installation.
MAGDUO Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Zone test facility EN54-2 Clause 10 Input/output facilities These facilities are described elsewhere in this manual. Control Panel Mounting the Control Panel First identify the proposed location for the control panel. Ensure that the control panel will be easily accessible and that account is taken of any subsequent work that may affect access.
MAGDUO Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Power Supply Unit The mains supply should be dedicated to the Fire Alarm Panel and should be clearly labelled ‘FIRE ALARM: DO NOT SWITCH OFF’ at all isolation points. The Fire Alarm Panel 230V AC supply requires a 3 amp with local isolation and fixed wiring between 0.75 mm and 2.5 mm...

MAGDUO Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Alarm Confirmation Introduction The instructions in this section apply only to the Alarm Confirmation mode which is a part of the MAGDUO control panel and is supplementary to the rest of this manual. The Alarm Confirmation technology has been designed primarily to address the problem of unwanted alarms in apartment blocks or ‘Houses of Multiple Occupancy’...
MAGDUO Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Zones – ‘Confirmation Delay’ for Dwelling Areas Dwelling zones are those covering apartments or private living areas. The activation of any smoke detector in these areas generates an ‘Alarm Confirmation Warning’ in that area but no indication shows on the control panel.
Page 60
MAGDUO Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual The detector DIL switch number 2 may be used to enable the ‘Logical Link’ which links the operation of the sounder to that individual detector whilst in confirmation warning stage. If this is set to the off position, the Alarm Confirmation Warning will sound in the entire zone.
MAGDUO Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Installation and Commissioning Installation 1 Stage The installer must install the system wiring in the form of 2-core radial circuits. All cabling should be 2 core 1.5mm , screened and fire resistant, of an FP200 equivalent type. 4 core cable as a zone in and zone out must not be used, due to the possibility of data corruption.
MAGDUO Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Commissioning Commissioning the MAGDUO system involves programming and testing the system for correct operation. It is essential that every device is tested in every mode of operation, and that all programmed actions are observed for correct operation. This includes the smoke testing of smoke detectors, heat testing of heat detectors, testing of Manual Call Points, testing of all inputs, testing of all sounders and outputs, and fault testing of detectors by head removal.
MAGDUO Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Fault Finding Summary of Faults Intermittent Zone Fault Tighten the unused ‘zone screw terminals’ at the EOL device and check all connections on the zone. Too many sounders on a zone. Remove some or adjust sound levels down. EOL resistor, capacitor or third party EOL device has been fitted.

Incorrectly set smoke detector (smoke is not suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, boiler rooms etc., however, SM3 may be suitable outside a bathroom or kitchen but the individual situation needs to be looked at very carefully).
MAGDUO Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Finding Zone Faults A fault on a zone of the MAGDUO system may be found as follows: In order to prove whether the fault is control panel based or in the field (including the field wiring), swap the wires from the zone in fault with those in a clear zone (active but no fault) at the control panel.
MAGDUO Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Advanced Connections Magnetic Door Hold Units If magnetic door hold devices are required, it is recommended that they are connected as shown in the upper right diagram. This is suitable if it is convenient to cable to the control panel. An Input/Output module may also be used for this operation, in which case a relay would not be required.
MAGDUO Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Connecting Two Panels Together Only a maximum of two panels should be connected in this way. For each panel, configure a monitored input as a remote fire event as follows: Monitored inputs on panels 1 and 2 should be set to remote fire event with no relay activation. 10.
