INFINITY 8 INSTALLATION MANUAL
1. INTRODUCTION
THIS FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL IS CLASS 1 EQUIPMENT AND MUST BE EARTHED.
This equipment must be installed and maintained by a qualified and technically experienced person.
1.1 HANDLING THE PCBS
If the PCBs are to be removed to ease fitting the enclosure and cables, care must be taken to avoid damage by static.
The best method is to wear an earth strap, but touching any earth point (e.g. building plumbing) will help to discharge any static.
Hold PCBs by their sides, avoiding contact with any components.
Always handle PCBs by their sides and avoid touching the legs of any components. Keep the PCBs away from damp dirty areas, e.g.
in a small cardboard box.
1.2 USING THIS MANUAL
This manual explains, in a step-by-step manner, the procedure for the installation of the Infinity 8 Range of Fire Alarm Control
Panels. For full operational and maintenance information, please refer to document GLT.MAN- (USER MANUAL, MAINTENANCE
GUIDE & LOG BOOK). It also contains a System set-up table, and Installation Certificate, that must be completed by the
Commissioning Engineer prior to system handover.
Unlike the User Manual, this Installation Manual must not be left accessible to the User.
1.3 ABOUT THE INFINITY FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL & INTEGRAL PSE
The Infinity Fire alarm control panel is available in
1,2,4,6 or 8 Zone sizes.
The 1 & 2 zone panels have 2 x 250mA sounder
circuits.
The 4, 6 & 8 zone panels have 4 x 150mA sounder
circuits.
It has a set of fire relay contacts (voltage free) rated at
1A SELV.
It has a set of fault relay contacts (voltage free) rated
at 1A SELV. This relay is normally powered to allow a
fault output in the case of total power failure.
It has the ability to disable any zone or the sounder
circuits.
It has a one man test mode, which resets the Zone in
test after 5 seconds (EN54 option with requirements).
It has a sounder delay facility (0-10 minutes in 1
minute steps)(EN54 option with requirements).
It has a maximum battery capacity of 3.4Ah.
1.4 DESIGNING THE SYSTEM
This manual is not designed to teach Fire Alarm System design. It is assumed that the installer has an understanding of Fire Alarm
System components and their use.
We strongly recommend consultation with a suitably qualified, competent person regarding the design of the Fire Alarm System.
The System must be commissioned and serviced in accordance with our instructions and the relevant National Standards. Contact
the Fire Officer concerned with the property at an early stage in case he has any special requirements.
If in doubt, read BS 5839: Pt 1: 2002 "Fire Detection and Fire Alarm Systems for buildings (Code of Practice for System Design,
Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance)" available from the BSI, or at your local reference library.
1.5 EQUIPMENT GUARANTEE
If this equipment is not fitted and commissioned according to our guidelines, and the relevant National Standards, by an approved
and competent person or organisation, the warranty may become void.

The PSE will draw a maximum of 30uA from the
battery in the event of mains failure (the FACP will
continue to take around 60mA).
The FACP & PSE should be maintained as described in
section 3 of the User Manual, Maintenance Guide &
Log Book.
