CIE-A-400 Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Introduction This manual is intended as a guide to the engineering and commissioning principles of the CIE-A-400 Addressable Intelligent Fire Alarm and Detection 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.
The CIE-A-400 system is defined as an Addressable Intelligent Detector System or an Addressable Fire Detection and Alarm System with Independent Distributed Intelligence. Distributed intelligence signifies that the signal processing is spread throughout the system, so that the decisions about fires and faults are taken within the detector itself.
CIE-A-400 Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Control Panel Mounting the Control Panel 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. It should be located at the most likely point of access for the fire services.
CIE-A-400 Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Control Panel Disassembly The backboard assembly is attached to the panel back box by two brackets on the bottom of the assembly, the two brackets hook into the back box. There is a single captive knurled screw in the centre at the top of the assembly which holds it in.
CIE-A-400 Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Cabinet Installation Surface Mounting At least three of the mounting holes should be used to secure the cabinet to a solid wall using suitable screws of at least 50mm in length. Ensure that a minimum gap of 50mm is left between the sides of the back box and any wall or projection (such as another box).
CIE-A-400 Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Cable Entry The cable entry locations are provided by two rows of knockouts at the top, six on the back and one on the bottom. The bottom knockout should be used if the 12Ah/17Ah battery box (540-0020)is used.
CIE-A-400 Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Loop Card Installation To install the Loop Card (part number 10-0162), FIRST DOWN POWER THE PANEL. Slide the pins on the Loop Card into the connector on the backboard. Then use the screws included to fix into place.
CIE-A-400 Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Addressable Circuit Wiring Topology & Cabling All system wiring should be installed to comply with the current BS 5839: Pt 1 and BS 7671 (wiring regulations) and any other standards relevant to the area or type of installation. A cable complying with the current BS 5839: Pt 1: Category 1 (cables required to operate for prolonged periods during fire conditions) is required.
It can detect the type of device and in the case of devices manufactured from March 2010, the subtype from the above list as well. For devices manufactured prior to this date, the CIE-A-400 OSP will attempt to detect the subtype and use the appropriate DLUs.

You may run the initialisation backwards by reversing the loop connections, or one ended by removing one end of the loop. You may also use the CIE-A-400 OSP software to identify which devices have been found and initialised. Noting how far the device count on the control panel screen reached will indicate many faults, such as open or short circuit faults.
Normally, commissioning will take place as follows: 1. Initialise the addressable device loop. 2. Upload the configuration from the control panel to the PC with CIE-A-400 OSP. 3. Check that the addressable device serial numbers are in the positions on the loops that were expected, amend the configuration to suit the site and check it carefully.

CIE-A-400 Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Loop –ve Open Circuit If the system faces a Loop –ve open circuit during initialisation, the initialisation will not fail at that point but will continue as normal to the end of the loop. All devices will be operational (as long as no other faults exist).
CIE-A-400 Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual Earth Faults General If the control panel detects a short circuit or leakage current to Earth/Screen from one of its supply rails (either 0V or +Ve) an Earth Fault will be displayed. The voltage between 0V and Earth SCRN can be checked with a digital test meter. The normal voltage is 1.7V.
CIE-A-400 Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual General Fault Finding Common Faults In the event that inexplicable or random faults continue after any obvious indication has been dealt with, take the following steps. 1. Verify that the addressable device loop cable readings are correct and suitable. Take particular note of the screen resistance and rectify any faults found.
