PREMIER AD INSTALLATION MANUAL.
1.PREMIER AD OVERVIEW
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, and also 4 independently
operating sounder circuits.
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 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.
To simplify commissioning further,
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.
The Premier AD has 4 sounder circuits, which are always configured as common sounders. They will
activate with an alarm from any zone.
The loop 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.
1.1 SETTING THE DEVICE ADDRESS (DETECTORS, CALL POINTS &
SOUNDERS)
The device address is set with a dip switch on the rear of the device.

The address setting is binary, with
the ON position being binary 0 , and
the OFF position being binary 1.
Switch 8 is not used for setting the
address, but sometimes has a
devise specific function. (check
instructions that came with the
device)
LIMITATIONS OF PRESET ZONE ALLOCATION
The main disadvantage of this method of zone allocation is the maximum zone capacity of 16 devices.
If a zone has more than 16 devices it will need to be split into smaller zones.
Similarly, a zone with only one device would leave 15 empty addresses on that zone.
This will not cause a problem if it is considered at the system design stage.

Zone 3 (Zone 11 on loop 2)
Zone 4 (Zone 12 on loop 2)
Zone 5 (Zone 13 on loop 2)

Zone 7 (Zone 15 on loop 2)
Zone 8 (Zone 16 on loop 2)
If you are not familiar with binary, check the
table on page 17, or use the following rule:
Switch 7 off = add 64,
Switch 6 off = add 32,
Switch 5 off = add 16,
Switch 4 off = add 8,
Switch 3 off = add 4,
Switch 2 off = add 2,
Switch 1 off = add 1.
The example shown would be:
switches 6, 4 & 1
=32 + 8 + 1 = Address 41
