The F08 Fire Indicator Panel provides a configuration programming facility which may be accessed via a programming push-button. Because this programming facility allows the user to define in detail the operation of the F08 System, changes may be made by the user that prevent an installation from meeting statutory requirements.
USING THIS MANUAL This Manual provides information for personnel engaged in the installation, programming and commissioning of the F08 Fire Alarm Panel. It is available only to bonafide installation and maintenance organisations. The structure of this manual is as follows: Chapter 1, Introduction, describes the manual, explains the format and terminology used in this manual, and lists associated F08 product manuals.
F08 Operator's Manual, provides a complete guide to the operation and maintenance of the F08 FIP, according to Australian Standards AS1603 Part 4. This manual is provided as standard with F08 FIP panels. It is available in a bound A5 format (LT0054) and in an A4 loose-leaf format (LT0078).

F08 Installation & Programming Manual Document No: LT0082 FIP Installation MAIN BOARD Figure 2.4 shows the basic layout of the F08 FIP Main Board. 2.4.1 TERMINALS The following terminals and connectors are provided: Display FRC Output Connector. 12 Way Screw Input Terminal for MCP AZC, MCP, AZC1, AZC2 and AZC3.
Page 22
FIP Installation 2.4.4 FIELD SUPPLY CONNECTIONS The F08 FIP Main Board provides two types of fused power outputs. Terminals labelled "+VB" provide 27.3 VDC supply output, which is battery backed. "+VB" terminals are fused by F2. Terminals labelled "+VNB" provided a non-battery backed 27.9 VDC supply output.
* * NOTES * * The F08 system should be system tested before connecting the batteries. If the batteries are located remotely from the F08, a battery protection device (> 3 Amps) must be located at the batteries. USE ONLY THE BATT+ & BATT- TERMINALS PROVIDED. PARALLEL CONNECTION OF BATTERIES IS NOT PERMITTED.
F08 Installation & Programming Manual Document No: LT0082 FIP Installation FIP MCP WIRING The front door manual call point is factory connected by four wires to the "MCP" connector J2, located at the top left hand side of the Main Board, and to ZONE 1 (AZC1).
Detector positioning, installation and wiring must conform with AS1670.1 and detector manufacturer's instructions. The F08 EOL resistor (2k7 1%) must be fitted to the base of the last detector/MCP on each AZC. If the circuit is disabled the resistor may be left off to reduce current consumption.

2.13.2 DISPLAY BOARD REMOVAL OR INSTALLATION The F08 Display Board is attached to the rear of the internal door by five M4 x 12mm screws and flat washers. To remove the display board simply unplug the display FRC from J1 on the Main Board, then remove all 5 screws.
F08 Installation & Programming Manual FIP Installation 2.14 DOCUMENTATION The following documentation MUST be included inside the F08 panel: F08 Operator's Manual A Maintenance Log-Book An "AS INSTALLED" fire detection system diagram and/or summary describing the installed layout of the F08 fire detection system.
(see Figure 3.1). MAINS ISOLATE SWITCH To switch the F08 FIP ON or OFF, open the front protective door. The "MAINS ISOLATE SWITCH" is located at the bottom of the cabinet, to the right of the mains transformer. This switch controls the mains power supply to the panel, including the battery charger.
F08 Installation & Programming Manual Document No: LT0082 Placing into Operation POWER UP To place a correctly installed and programmed F08 FIP into operation perform the following steps: STEP 1 Ensure that the Mains Isolate Switch is OFF and that 240VAC is available to the panel from the mains distribution switchboard.

Programming should only be carried out by a suitably qualified FIRE-PROTECTION technician or engineer. If the F08 FIP was pre-programmed prior to delivery, it may NOT NEED TO BE RE- PROGRAMMED in the field. The F08 "PROGRAMMING MODE" provides four (4) programming functions with the programming keys and indications summarised in Tables 4.1 and 4.2.

Application Considerations SUB-PANEL WIRING The F08 can be used as a sub-panel or it can be used as the master panel to a number of sub-panels. The following information details how the F08 can be used as a master panel to monitor other panels.
Page 83
Fault on Standby Sub-Panel Circuit Wiring 5.1.2 ALARM ON STANDBY Figure 5.2 shows how one AZC input of an F08 can be used to monitor a sub-panel with both alarm and standby from the sub-panel producing alarm at the master panel. STANDBY is normally energised.
Page 84
ALARM ON STANDBY - SEPARATE INDICATION TO ALARM Figure 5.3 shows how two AZC inputs of an F08 can be used to monitor a sub-panel. AZC1 is used for the sub-panel’s Alarm and Fault signals, AZC2 is used for the Standby and Isolate signals (if required).

Document No: LT0082 Application Considerations 5.2.4 ISOLATING REPEATERS Two isolating repeaters are specified for use with F08: Pepperl & Fuchs' KFDO-CS-Ex 1.51P and Pepperl & Fuchs' KFDO-CS-Ex 2.51P For these isolating repeaters the total capacitance and inductance of the detectors and cables on the IS circuit must be less than that specified in Table 5.2.1.
Page 87
Figure 5.2.1 shows the wiring of the approved isolating repeaters with F08. Note: Do not connect 15V MCPs onto detection circuits that are connected to the F08 through an isolating repeater. To use MCPs in an IS area, short circuiting MCPs (not 15V type) must be connected onto their own circuit through a separate isolating repeater channel to F08.
Page 88
I.e. circuit length is from the isolating repeater to the EOL when the length is limited due to cable capacitance/inductance, or from the F08's terminal through the isolating repeater to the EOL when the limit to due to resistance.
Page 89
5.2.6 PROGRAMMING & LIMITATIONS When using the F08 with IS Isolators the 13-17V region must be programmed as detector alarm, i.e. Type 1 (non-AVF) or Type 4 (AVF). With circuit type 4 the zone must be programmed as latching to cancel any out-of-alarm delay. This allows the higher alarm voltage of the detector and isolator to be used.
F08 Installation & Programming Manual Document No: LT0082 Application Considerations PREVENTION OF NON “FIRE” ALARMS All fire detection systems rely on their ability to identify atmospheric or environmental changes brought about by the presence of fire. They employ various types of sensors to monitor specific conditions.
F08 Installation & Programming Manual Application Considerations TROUBLE SHOOTING In addition to the trouble-shooting guide contained in the F08 Operator Manual, Table 5.4.1 gives a quick reference to the typical problems, reasons and possible corrective action for faults experienced with the F08 FIP.
