5.1.3 DUO-CEL Repeater Installation
Instructions
The Repeater installation is generally the same as
the panel installation. Follow section 5.1.1 up to
and including step 20. For DC powered repeaters,
the steps involving batteries and mains wiring can
be ignored.
There are two DIL switches on the repeater
control board, labelled NUM REP A & NUM
REP B. They should be set as follows:
Repeater No. NUM REP A

Gland the wiring into the repeaters but do not
connect the wires into the terminals at this stage.
Details of the wiring connections are shown in
Figure 11.
Do not power up the mains powered repeaters at
this stage.

6. Panel Commissioning

6.1 Introduction

The following equipment should be available where
possible to minimise commissioning time:
i) VHF/UHF Portable Radio or other communication
device (for two engineers)
ii) Digital Multi-meter with accurate voltage &
resistance measuring capabilities

6.2 Commissioning Checklist

1. Before commissioning, the engineer should
check the following:
i) All field wiring has been inspected and tested
in accordance with manufacturer‟s wiring
recommendations and all relevant local
regulations.
ii) All field cables are wired into the control
panel enclosure through suitable cable
glands.
iii) Detector bases are terminated but detector
heads are not fitted. Any devices with
electronic components
Terminations to devices with electronic
components should be linked through to
maintain cable continuity.
iv) Manual Call Points are not connected but
cable is linked
continuity.

are not fitted.
through to maintain
v) No end-of-line devices (e.g. alarm circuit
EOL resistors) are fitted in the field.
2. The following information should be available
to the commissioning team:
i) Detection layout drawings.
ii) Wiring schematic diagram.
iii) Control Panel installation manuals.
iv) Installation manuals for all equipment
connected to the system.
v) Site-specific configuration details.
Tracing wiring faults on long circuits that are
routed through risers etc. can be difficult without
knowledge of the wiring route.
It is therefore recommended that the electrical
installer is available on site until basic wiring
continuity is proven.
6.3 An Overview of the Commissioning

Procedure

Commissioning is broken in to 3 sections:
i) Pre-commissioning wiring check.
ii) Powering the panel up with no field wiring
connected, configuring the panel in accordance
with the
carrying out a functional check.
iii) Functional testing of all circuits and field
devices to check each circuit and function in
turn to ensure correct operation of the entire
system.
In this way any faults may be located quickly
and accurately. The general procedures are as
follows:
o Alarm circuits should be checked first by
using the Evacuate function. The correct
operation of each sounder should be checked
to ensure that audibility levels meet the
relevant regulations.
o Detection zones should be commissioned
next. The purpose is to establish the correct
functioning of each device and check for
correct indication at the control panel. The
panel responses [as configured] should be
checked at this time.
o All ancillary inputs and outputs should be
commissioned
confirmed.
WARNING: Before testing, the engineer must
be aware both of the operation of all devices
fitted to the auxiliary circuits and of the
consequences of their operation.
