Notifier AFP2800 Tech Tip

AFP2800
The AFP2800 will detect a PANEL GROUND FAULT, when fitted with an IFS714 or IFS724 version
termination card, when leakage to panel ground is detected from any point that directly utilises the 0V or
24V from the panel power supply.
AFP2800 fitted with the earlier IFS704 version termination card do not have this capability and will not
report a PANEL GROUND FAULT.
Where enabled, the AFP2800 will display this earth leakage as point ID 0.2.i2 with a description of PANEL
GROUND FAULT. The point ID 0.2.i2 simply reflects that earth leakage is present on the panel and does not
give an indication of where the PANEL GROUND FAULT is located.
On AFP2800 fitted with IFS714 or IFS724 termination cards, it is possible using the menu system, to disable
"Ground Fault Reporting". This prevents the panel from generating a fault condition and also displaying on
the main screen, the 0.2.i2 PANEL GROUND FAULT. This is not recommended as a permanent solution and
the condition causing the fault should be corrected as soon as possible.
The fault will ALWAYS be indicated by the second LED down in the group of five fault/status LED's as
shown in the diagram below, whether or not "Ground Fault Reporting" has been disabled via the menu
system.

LOOP GROUND FAULTS

Ground faults that occur on the addressable loops report through to the panel as Loop Ground Faults. These
are separate to 0.2.i2 PANEL GROUND FAULTS and cannot be disabled via the menu system. In most
instances the loops will continue to operate correctly despite the presence of the fault, however the fault
needs to be corrected as soon as possible.
