  • Page 4: Introduction

    Extinguishing Panel - INSTRUCTION MANUAL Introduction The Premier EX 8 is a combined 2 zone , 1 area extinguishing panel, and 4 zone conventional fire alarm panel. The Extinguishing section is designed to BSEN12094-1:2003. The fire alarm section is designed to EN54-2 & 4. This design allows the same panel to protect an extinguishing area, and also monitor the rest of the site for a fire.

    7. Record findings in the fire alarm log book. Resetting from an alarm condition After the relevant action has been taken, the Premier EX8 fire alarm panel can be reset by the following:- Press Stop/Start sounder button, This will silence the external sounders.
  • Page 9: First Stage Alarm

    Extinguishing Panel - INSTRUCTION MANUAL First Stage Alarm On detection of a “FIRE” in either Zone 1 or Zone 2, the zone fire LED will be illuminated and the internal buzzer will be on. The first stage LED and first stage sounder will be on.
  • Page 10: Reset

    Pressing the “Silence” button, with the control key “ON”, will silence the tone. If there are any faults, call an Engineer. USING THE MONITORED REMOTE INPUTS The Premier EX8 has the following remote inputs:- • Manual Release • Gas Fired •...
  • Page 11: Emergency Hold Input

    Extinguishing Panel - INSTRUCTION MANUAL Emergency Hold Input This input connects to an Emergency Hold Switch or call point. The line needs a 2k2 end of line resistor, and a 470R resistor across the line to trigger it. If this input is operated during a second stage alarm, during the release count down, it will reset the counter to it`s starting value, and hold it there, until the Hold device is reset.
  • Page 12: Bottle Scales Input

    Disabling this input prevents it from showing as active on the panel display. USING THE REMOTE CONTROL INPUTS The Premier EX8 has remote control inputs for Start/Stop Sounders, Silence Buzzer, Reset and Remote fault. They are operated by connecting the signal to 0V. The first 3 will mimic pressing the button on the front panel.
  • Page 13: Mounting The Fire Alarm Panel

    MOUNTING THE FIRE ALARM PANEL The Premier EX8 comes with many cable entry holes. If another entry hole is required, it is strongly recommended that the panels door be removed to avoid accidental damage. Also, the termination PCB should be removed and stored in a safe place.
  • Page 14: Mains & Battery

    Charger Short Circuit Protection The Premier EX8 has an intelligent charger that senses if too much current is being drawn (for instance in the case of totally discharged batteries, or the charger leads being shorted together).
  • Page 15: Detectors & Sounders

    The Premier EX8 has 2 first stage / fire sounder circuits, each rated at 150mA. Each sounder circuit must be fitted with a 10k end of line resistor. The EX8 also has 1 x second stage sounder circuit rated at 250mA. This also uses a 10K end of line resistor. This second stage sounder circuit is designed for an alarm device that gives a constant sound pattern (either sounder or bell) because it uses on/off sound patterns to indicate different gas release conditions.

    • Emergency Abort • Bottle Scales The EX8 has inputs which are monitored for Open Circuit & short circuit. To activate the input, a load of 470 ohms must be switched between the +ve & -ve lines. If the equipment being connected has Normally Closed & Normally Open contacts, connect the 2k7 end of line resistor &...

    Extinguishing Panel - INSTRUCTION MANUAL Disablement The Premier EX8 zone allows any of the following to be disabled to aid commissioning and assist routine maintenance work:- • Crossed zones • Peripheral Zones • First stage sounders • Second stage sounders & Bottle output (Disabled together) •...
  • Page 21: Test Mode

    The testing of the zone in test will temporarily be suspended until the Alarm(s) from the other zones are reset. At this point, zone retesting may resume. The Premier EX8 can place the following circuits into test mode:- • Crossed zones 1 & 2 •...
  • Page 22: Fault Display & Fault-Finding

    Most of these faults will need to be checked by an engineer, but the system can be checked for a removed detector by the responsible person. All faults in the Premier EX8 are NON-LATCHING. IE they can not be reset with the reset button. They will clear automatically when the fault has been fixed.
  • Page 23: Zone Fault

    • If a panel does not report a fault when an detector is removed, check with your supplier if the detector is compatible with the Premier EX8. Short Circuit Fault (Gen S/C LED will be lit) • Check that the correct end of line has been fitted (see above), and check that it has not been fitted backwards.
  • Page 24: Earth Fault

    Extinguishing Panel - INSTRUCTION MANUAL Earth Fault An EARTH fault indicates that something is shorting to earth (usually through the cable screen). Disconnect the earth screens one at a time to determine the problem line. (Note: connecting other equipment , eg an oscilloscope or PC, to the panel can give an earth fault) The voltage between battery –Ve and earth should be 14-16 volts.
