PREMIER AD INSTALLATION MANUAL.

2.PREMIER AD OVERVIEW

2.1 PANEL DESCRIPTION & DESIGN CONCEPT
The Premier AD is a 2-loop analogue addressable fire alarm control panel designed to EN54 part 2 &
4. It has 2 addressable loops, each capable of having 126 devices.
The Premier AD has 4 conventional sounder circuits, which are always configured as common
sounders. They will activate with an alarm from any zone.
The loop sounder outputs (loop powered sounders, & sounder circuit controllers) can be set up as
zonal, or common.
If the sounder is in a zone that contains a detector or input module, then that sounder will be zonal,
and will only activate with an alarm in that zone.
If the sounder is in a zone that only contains output devices, then it will be common, and will activate
with any alarm.
The exception to this rule is a priority Call Point, which will start all sounders, even if they are set up
as zonal.
It has been designed to give the advantages of an addressable system, with the simplicity of a
conventional system. To help achieve this, the Premier AD uses default values to cut out many of the
programming steps normally associated with addressable panels. It also uses its LEDs as the
Primary source of information, so in most cases, there is no reason to look at the screen, or access
any menus. The screen is simply there to identify loop device fault locations, and to help in setting up
the panel.

2.2 ADVANTAGES OF AN ADDRESSABLE FIRE ALARM SYSTEM

The table below lists the main advantages of addressable systems, and how our panels use them.

While all options are programmable on our larger Premier AL panel, the Premier AD uses
preconfigured settings for most options.
Device sensitivity and pre-alarm levels are preset.
To simplify configuration, there is no zone allocation programming. Instead each loop is split into 8
zones, and each device is assigned to a zone by the address set with its 8 way dip switch.
Address 1-16
Address 17-32
Address 33-48
Address 49-64
Address 65-80
Address 81-96
Address 97-112
Address 113-126
The loop sounder operation is either common or zonal depending on the sounders address.
This leaves only the device label to be programmed by the installer.
