Connecting zones and zone devices

Connecting zones
Connect zone wires as shown in Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6, and Figure 7
above. Line resistance is shown in Table 3 below.
Table 3: Line resistance

Zone type Line resistance
Standard and BS5839-1 EN 54-13 and intrinsically-safe
Mixed 40 Ω max. Not supported [1]
Automatic 55 Ω max. 50 Ω max.
Manual 55 Ω max. 50 Ω max.
[1] Mixed zones are not permitted in installations requiring EN 54-13 or intrinsically-safe
configuration.
To measure the line resistance:

1. Create a short circuit at the end of the zone line.
2. Measure the resistance between the positive and negative lines with a
multimeter.
Note: The default zone detection settings for each operating mode can be found
in Appendix A “Configuration presets” on page 77. To change the zone detection
setting, see “Advanced configuration” on page 37.

Terminating zones
Zone termination is required at all times, whether the zone is used or not. The
type of termination depends on the installation, as shown in Table 4 below.
Table 4: Zone terminations

Installation type Zone termination
Standard and intrinsically- 4.7 kΩ end-of-line resistor
safe zones
EN 54-13 zones EOL-Z end-of-line device (polarity sensitive)
BS 5839-1 zones Active end-of-line device [1]
[1] For BS 5839-1 installations an active end-of-line device must be installed (instead of an end-
of-line resistor).
Note: Unused zones must be terminated with an active end-of-line device or

configured as passive end-of-line and terminated with a 4.7 kΩ, 5%, 1/4 W end-
of-line resistor.
Connecting detectors
Connect detectors as shown in Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6, and Figure 7 starting
on page 8.
The panel supports conventional detectors. To guarantee optimal operation, use
the detectors specified in the compatibility list. For more information on fire
detectors, see Chapter 5 “Technical specifications” on page 65.
Connecting manual call points

Connect manual call points in parallel, as shown in Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6,
and Figure 7 starting on page 8. Each zone circuit can support up to 32 manual
call points.
Manual call points must have a resistance installed in series with the normally
open (NO) contact to avoid short-circuit faults and to allow the control panel to
identify the origin of the alarm (automatic or manual). Note that many of the
MCPs in the compatibility list already include this resistor.
The resistance required will depend on the zone type as shown in Table 5 below.
Table 5: MCP resistances

Zone type Manual call point resistance [1]
Standard / BS 5839-1 EN 54-13 Intrinsically safe
Mixed 100 Ω Not supported Not supported

[1] Resistance must be rated at 1 W minimum.

Note: The default zone detection settings for each operating mode can be found
in Appendix A “Configuration presets” on page 77. To change the zone detection
setting, see “Advanced configuration” on page 37.
Connecting inputs
Input functionality
Each control panel has two inputs, marked INPUT1 and INPUT2. These circuits
are connected as normally open and activated when closed.
Both inputs are configurable (see “Input configuration” on page 45). The default
functionality of each input is defined by the panel operating mode and EN 54-13

Connecting supervised outputs

Control panels have the following supervised outputs:
• Two-zone control panels have two outputs, marked OUT1 and OUT2.
• Four- and eight-zone control panels have four outputs, marked OUT1, OUT2,
OUT3, and OUT4.
The outputs are supervised for open and short circuit faults.
Output class
The control panel outputs can be configured for Class A or Class B operation,
depending on the supervision mode required. The default output configuration is
Class B.
Table 10: Output classes and EN 54-13 supervision

Output class EN 54-13 supervision Description
Class B (default) Disabled For installations not requiring EN 54-13
compliance
Class A Enabled For installations requiring EN 54-13
compliance
For more information, see “EN 54-13 supervision mode” on page 32.
Output functionality
The function of each output is defined by the panel operating mode and output
class configuration (the default is Class B). All outputs are overload protected.

Output termination
Output termination is required at all times, whether the output is used or not. The
type of termination depends on the output class, as shown in Table 13 below.
Table 13: Termination required for output classes

Output class Output termination
Class B (default) All outputs require a 15 kΩ end-of-line resistor for termination. If
an output is not used, the end-of-line resistor must be installed
across the unused output terminals (see Figure 4 on page 8).
Class A (EN 54-13) All outputs require a 4.7 kΩ, 1/4W, 1% end-of-line resistor for
termination. If an output group (OUT1/2, OUT3/4) is not used, the
end-of-line resistor must be installed across the unused output
terminals (see Figure 5 on page 9).
See “Input and output specifications” on page 67 for details on voltage and
current ratings.
Output polarity
All outputs are polarity sensitive. Observe polarity or install a 1N4007 diode or
equivalent to avoid inverted activation issues.
Connecting sounders or other notification devices to supervised outputs

Depending on the operating mode, up to four sounder or notification device
circuits can be connected. See Table 11 on page 14.
Connecting fire routing equipment to supervised outputs

Connect fire routing equipment as shown in Table 14 below.
Table 14: Connecting fire routing equipment

Operating mode Output Class Fire routing Fire routing (manual)
(automatic)
EN 54-2 Class B (default) OUT4 OUT4
EN 54-2 Scandinavia
Class A (EN 54-13) OUT3, OUT4 OUT3, OUT4
NEN 2535 Class B (default) OUT3 OUT4
Class A (EN 54-13) OUT3, OUT4 OUT3, OUT4
Note: Fire routing in EN 54-2 operating modes makes no distinction between

automatic and manual alarms. If this feature is required, install a 2010-1-SB
expansion board and use separate outputs for each alarm type.

Connecting the fault warning output to external equipment

Note: This feature is only available in NEN 2535 mode with a 2010-1-SB
supervised expansion board configured to presets 32 or 35. See “Expansion
board presets” on page 84.
Connect the external equipment to the OUT3 output on the 2010-1-SB
supervised board. The wiring must be returned back to the control panel to the
2010-FS-EOL user supervisory board connected to INPUT2, as shown below.
Figure 9: Connecting to fault warning output
1. 2010-FS-EOL user board

2. Control panel PCB connectors
3. 2010-1-SB expansion board connectors
Connecting the mains power supply

Note: To avoid unwanted arcing, connect the mains power supply before
connecting the batteries.
The control panel can be operated at 110 V at 60 Hz or 240 V at 50 Hz
(+10%/−15%).
Mains power should be sourced directly from a separate circuit breaker in the
building electrical supply distribution board. This circuit should be clearly marked,
have a bipolar disconnect device, and only be used for fire detection equipment.
Feed all mains cables through the appropriate cable knockouts and connect
them to the fuse terminal block as shown in Figure 10 on page 17.
Keep mains cables separate from other cabling to avoid potential short circuits
and interference. Always secure mains cables to the cabinet to prevent
movement.

For fuse specifications, see Chapter 5 “Technical specifications” on page 65.
Selecting 115 or 230 VAC operation

WARNING: Electrocution hazard. To avoid personal injury or death from
electrocution, remove all sources of power and allow stored energy to discharge
before installing or removing equipment.
Power switching for 115 or 230 VAC operation is automatic for two- and four-
zone control panels and no configuration is required.
For eight-zone control panels, the default power setting is 230 VAC. For 115
VAC operation, use a small screwdriver to change the power setting switch,
located on the side of the power supply unit, as shown in Figure 11 below.
Caution: Risk of equipment damage. An incorrect power setting can destroy the
power supply.
Figure 11: Selecting 115 or 230 VAC operation
Connecting the batteries

The control panel requires two 12 V, 7.2 or 12 Ah rechargeable, sealed, lead-
acid batteries (see “Compatible batteries” on page 62).

Batteries must be installed in series, at the base of the control panel cabinet. Use
the battery lead and bridge provided and connect batteries to the BATT
connector on the control panel PCB, as shown below. Polarity must be observed.
Note: If the control panel indicates a Supply Fault, then the batteries may need
to be replaced. See “Battery maintenance” on page 62.
Figure 12: Connecting the batteries
Caution: Risk of equipment damage. No other equipment may be connected to

the BATT connector.
Powering auxiliary equipment (24 VDC auxiliary output)

Connect auxiliary equipment that requires 24 VDC power to the 24 AUX
terminals as shown in Figure 4 on page 8. The 24 VDC auxiliary output is
supervised for short circuit and voltage output level.
WARNING: Never use the auxiliary output to power expansion boards connected
to the same control panel as this might damage the control panel hardware.
Connecting alarm and fault relays

Connect the alarm and fault equipment to the ALARM and FAULT relays.
Each potential-free relay output is activated in an alarm or fault situation
respectively. The fault relay output is activated (a short circuit between the
common (C) and normally open (NO) terminals of the relay) when there is no
fault.
The maximum contact rating for each relay circuit is 2 A at 30 VDC.

Connecting expansion boards

Caution: Risk of equipment damage. Always disconnect the control panel from
the mains power supply before installing an expansion board.
See your expansion board installation sheet for detailed installation information.
Connecting a fire network

Note: See the 2010-1-NB Network Board Installation Sheet for detailed
installation and connection information.
Each 2010-1-NB network board has two ports. Each port is connected (point to
point) to the corresponding ports of the network board in another control panel.
Figure 13: Network board connections
Two wiring options are possible:

• Ring configuration
• Bus configuration
Ring configuration
Ring network configuration is recommended as it provides for redundancy in the
transmission path.
For ring configuration (Class A), use both ports to connect all network boards or
control panels to form a ring, as shown below.

Figure 14: Fire network ring configuration
Bus configuration
Note: To be compliant with EU regulations, use this network configuration only in
cases where the detection zones and mandatory EN 54-2 output functions
(sounder and fire routing outputs) are not remote between panels.
Bus network configuration is not normally recommended, as it does not provide
for redundancy in the transmission path.
For bus configuration (Class B), connect control panels as shown below.

The same conditions required to apply a fire routing delay are applicable to apply
an extended fire routing delay (i.e. delay enabled, automatic alarm in a zone with
delays configured, no fire routing inhibit delay input activated, and no input using
the delays off function activated).
If the conditions exist to apply the delay, fire routing and extended fire routing
delays elapse concurrently when a fire alarm event is reported. After an alarm
condition, the fire routing delay is the active delay to activate fire routing.
In NEN 2535 operating mode, the extended fire routing delay becomes the active
delay to activate fire routing when sounders are stopped (by pressing the
Sounder Start/Stop button) and remain stopped when the standard fire routing
delay time has elapsed.
In EN54-2, NEN2535 and EN 54-2 Scandinavia operating mode, the extended
fire routing delay becomes the active delay to activate fire routing when an
extended fire routing delay switch (connected to an input configured accordingly)
is activated while the standard fire routing delay elapses.

Use this menu to configure zone delays (on or off), for each zone in your fire
alarm system. If the zone delay is ON, for alarms reported from this zone, any
output activation (sounders, fire routing and expansion board outputs) will
consider delay before activation. The default setting for all zones is ON.
For a stand-alone fire panel, you specify the zone using the zone number.
When the control panel is in a fire network, unique zone numbers are created by
defining a unique starting number for the first zone in each panel. For example, if
the first zone is numbered 101, then zone 08 will have the number 108.
In a fire network, if the control panel is configured to activate with remote zones,

Fire network and repeaters configuration

This section describes how to configure a fire network of conventional control
panels in order to:
• Connect repeaters (any conventional control panel can be configured to
operate as a repeater)
• Create a fire network of conventional control panels, when you need
additional conventional zones in your system
• Create a network including compatible addressable control panels, to add
more features to your fire detection and alarm system (e.g. logging events,
complex output activation controlled by the addressable system, remote
monitoring)
When a conventional panel is connected to a fire network it normally displays the
status of one or more panels in the network (depending on repeater configuration

settings). To display information for only that panel, press the Enter key for 3
seconds to provide a temporary, 30-second display of the local status indications.
Basic configuration options

The following table shows the options for creating basic fire network (firenet)
configurations.
Basic configuration options for the fire network

Firenet identifier for the panel 00 to 32

network)
Default: 00
Firenet number of nodes (the 02 to 32
number of nodes in the
Default: 02
network) [1]
Firenet initial zone number [2] 0001 to 9999

these are: 1234.
Press Up to enter the first two digits of the
number (positions 1 and 2).
Press Down to enter the last two digits of the
— or —
Firenet initial panel number to 01 to 32
be repeated [2]
Default: 01
[1] Basic configuration uses consecutive numbers beginning with 1 and ending with the number
entered here. Advanced configuration allows the use of specific, nonsequential node numbers.
When the system has an advanced, custom pattern of node numbers, the displayed value for nn
is “Cu”.
[2] Depending on the advanced setting Firenet repeater type (nr), this setting configures the initial
zone repeated or the initial panel repeated.
A basic fire network is either a panel and a repeater, or a 16-zone virtual panel
composed of two 8-zone panels.
To configure a basic fire network:

1. Activate networking by selecting the node number in the fire network.
The value of nI changes from 0 to 1 for the control panel, and from 0 to 2 for
the repeater panel.
If nI is not 0 (networking activated), a network fault is reported if the network
card is not present.
The Network Fault LED blinks every 10 seconds to indicate that the panel is
connected to the network without faults.

2. Select the number of control panels in the network.

This is not required when you have two panels (i.e. a panel and a repeater).
If you select 5, panel IDs 1 to 5 will have to be present so as not to have a
network fault indication.
Use advanced settings if you need to configure a network with other node IDs
and you need specific control and repeater settings.
3. Select the initial zone in the fire network.
This is not required if the two panels will use the same zone numbers starting
with zone 1 (i.e. a panel and a repeater).
Zones are global. A remote zone event in a zone number which is also used in
the local control panel will generate a response as if the event was generated by
a local zone. Example: In a two-zone panel with initial zone 10, zones 10 and 11
are available and any event in zones 10 and 11 in any other control panel in the
network will have the same effect in the panel as a local event on these zones.
Therefore, change this setting if you want to keep activations and indications
independent in different control panels. Example: In a 16-zone virtual panel,
eight-zone panel 1 can keep initial zone with the default value (1) and the eight-
zone panel 2 requires changing initial zone from 1 to 9.
Note that this setting can be used to configure control panels to repeat the status
of control panels in the fire network with the zone LEDs. Consult fire network
advanced configuration settings for further details.
Basic fire network configuration will have the default fire network settings or the
ones previously configured in the advanced fire network configuration options.
Default fire network settings are as follows:
• Both control panels will control each other (fire panel and repeater panel).
• The network topology will be class B.
• The repeater will repeat zones, not control panels.
• The fire panel will repeat faults in the repeater panel.
• The fire panel will enter alarm and generate activations with remote zones.
• The fire panel will control its outputs (no addressable system in the network).
Advanced configuration options

The following table shows the options (available to an advanced configuration
user) for creating an advanced fire network configuration.

[1] The basic configuration setting can be replaced by a customized set of specific panels for
communication, called a firenet map (nM), and a set of panels to be repeated, called a firenet
repeater map (rM). If the configuration is changed by modifying nM or rM, the value displayed for
firenet number of nodes (nn) is Cu, indicating a custom network configuration.

Configuring firenet and repeater maps

If the control panels in the system do not have all the node IDs numbered
consecutively (starting from 1) or if the control panels do not repeat information
from all other panels, then configure the nM (Firenet map) and rM (Firenet
repeater map).
Firenet map (nM) configuration
Any control panel in the fire network can be configured to show remote zone
events and react as if the events were coming from the local zones, for the zones
that are within the range of the panel. The range of zones in the panel is
determined with the initial zone (offset) and the control panel type. The global
zone numbers can be 1 to 9999. This means a two-zone panel initial zone can be
1 to 9998 and an eight-zone panel with the initial zone being 100 has a zones
range from 100 to 107.
The firenet map (nM) defines all the control panels that communicate with the
configured panel. This lets you create subnetworks in the fire network. For
example, if you have four panels in a fire network as follows:
• Panel ID 1 with nM active for nodes 1 and 2
Panels 1 and 2 will see each other in one sub-network and panels 20 and 32 will
be each other in a different sub-network. Only a firenet wiring open-loop fault for
class A networks will be shared between the two sub-networks.
Repeater map (rM) configuration
Any control panel in the fire network can repeat the information of other nodes
that form part of its firenet map.
A unique panel or several panels can be repeated at the same time (including
addressable panels) by defining the repeater map.
By default, the basic setting to establish the number of nodes (nn) will set the
control panel to activate in the repeater map (rM) the same control panels in the
firenet map. (i.e. The control panels by default will repeat all the information of all
other control panels in the fire network.)
The indications will show the logic OR function of the local indication together
with the same indication on other remote panels being repeated. If control panels
show different status, the control panel with higher priority takes precedence (i.e.
if control panel 1 has sounders on delay and control panel 2 sounders on, the
indication of a third panel repeater will show sounders on).
All indications received that are not available in the repeater panel for display will
be ignored.

Examples:
• A conventional repeater panel can repeat an analogue panel and many
indications are not available for display.
• A two-zone control panel could be configured to repeat an eight-zone panel.
Zones 3 to 8 will not be available for display.
Conventional systems can be configured to repeat control panels status
information instead of zones status information, in the zone LED indications.
Consult the Repeater type configuration (nr) setting.
Selecting control panel commands

Select the control panel commands (e.g. reset, silence/resound sounders, panel
silence, cancelling delays) that will be local or global. This is sent to all other
control panels in its firenet map.
By default, nC is set to Yes so that controls are local but also sent to the network.
Note: Local or global controls does not apply to disable/enable and test
commands. These are always local and sent to the control panels being
repeated.This featureprovides more flexibility to configure disable/enable and test
of zones, sounders, fire routing and fire protection.
Examples: If we disable zone 1 in control panel 1 and control panel 1 repeats
control panel 2, the zone 1 in control panel 2 will also be disabled (shared zone
completely disabled). If we disable zone 1 in control panel 1 but control panel 2 is
not repeated, zone 1 in panel 2 will not be disabled. (This allows disabling only
part of the shared zone).
Selecting the loop class

Select the loop class (nL) to configure the panel according to the wiring topology
selected: class A (ring) or class B (bus).
Class A is recommended to provide redundancy in communication path. Class B
can only be used for repeaters without control requirements.
By default, the basic settings use class B for basic repeater functionality.
Selecting processing for remote zones in alarm

Select the setting to process (or not process) remote zones in alarm (nP).
This setting lets you decide whether the control panel enters alarm and reacts
accordingly or not, with any remote zone outside its range of zones. This option
lets you:
• Create large conventional systems (e.g. 10, 12, 16 or more zones) where
each node has different global zones to indicate only the local zone in alarm
• Create systems where alarm indications have to be local to the panel (nP
should be inactive)
By default, process remote zone alarms (nP) is active (ON).

Specify the firenet repeater type

Select the firenet repeater type setting (nr) if you want to use the repeater to
display panel status instead of zone status information. (nr = Pn).
When the control panel is configured to repeat the status of other panels, the
zone indications display global panel status information: the red zone LED will
indicate the panel ID in the network is in alarm (automatic or manual) and the
yellow zone LED will indicate the panel ID is in fault, disable or test.
By default, zone repeaters are used (nr = 2n)
Select remote output control

Set firenet remote output control (nO) ON if you want an addressable compatible
control panel in the fire network to command the outputs of the conventional
panel (sounders, fire routing, fire protection, fault warning output, and expansion
board outputs) with advanced programming options.
Consult the addressable control panel documentation (including its configuration
utility software) if you require this type of advanced configuration.
If the control panel is configured for remote output control, it will no longer
activate outputs based on its own logic and will only activate outputs with
commands coming from the fire network.
This mode of operation is fail-safe i.e. if the control panel detects a fire network
fault, the outputs will activate with the local logic or the remote commands.
By default, firenet remote output control is off for standalone applications or pure
conventional fire networks where the control panel controls its outputs.
Commissioning
Before commissioning the control panel

Before commissioning the control panel, make sure that:
• The control panel has been correctly installed
• The mains power is 110 VAC or 240 VAC, is connected correctly, and
complies with all requirements described in “Connecting the mains power
supply” on page 16
• There are no short or open circuits in any of the zone circuits
• All zones have the correct end-of-line termination, as described in
“Terminating zones” on page 11
• All manual call points have the correct resistance for alarm identification, as
described in “Connecting manual call points” on page 11

• Polarity is observed for all sounder circuits and that all end-of-line resistors
are installed, as described in “Connecting sounders or other notification
devices to supervised outputs” on page 15
• Any optional equipment installed (fire routing, alarm, and fault relays, etc.) is
correctly connected
• The batteries are connected correctly, and comply with all requirements
described in “Connecting the batteries” on page 17
• All fire alarm system configuration complies with the corresponding operating
mode and local regulations.
Commissioning the control panel

Once all installation, connection, and configuration requirements have been
checked as described above, the control panel can be powered up.
Normal startup
After starting up the control panel, normal status (standby) is indicated as follows:
• The Supply LED is steady
• The Sounder Delay LED is steady (if a delay has been enabled)
• The Fire Routing Delay LED is steady (if a delay has been enabled)
If any other indicators are on, check your installation thoroughly before
proceeding.
Fault startup
In accordance with EN 54-2, the control panel has a special startup sequence
used after an internal fault has been detected by the control panel.
This is indicated as follows:
• The General Fault LED flashes fast
• The System Fault LED flashes slow
When this happens:
2. Press the Reset button to reset the control panel.
If the fault status persists after reset, the control panel aborts the startup
sequence and turns on the System Fault LED.
When this happens, check all control panel connections and configuration, as
described in “Before commissioning the control panel” on page 57.

Battery startup
To power up the control panel from the batteries, press the battery start button on
the control panel PCB (marked as BAT. START, see Figure 20 below). Keep the
button pressed for approximately 5 seconds.
Figure 20: Battery startup button
Functional tests
Create a short and open circuit in the zone to test fault reporting for each.
Activate a manual call point to test manual alarm reporting. The control panel
should override any configured delays and activate alarm notification devices and
fire routing (where applicable) immediately.
Activate a detector to test automatic alarm reporting. The control panel should
initiate any configured delays and activate alarm notification devices and fire
routing (where applicable) once the delay time has elapsed.
Using a multimeter, verify that the fault relay is activated when a fault is reported
and that the alarm relay is activated when an alarm is reported.
Response times
Response times for standard events are as follows.
Table 27: Response times for standard events

Event Response time
Alarm Less than 3 seconds
Zone fault Less than 30 seconds

Perform the following maintenance tasks to ensure that the fire alarm system
works correctly and complies with all required European regulations.
Note: Before performing any tests, ensure that fire routing (if configured) is
disabled or that the fire brigade has been notified.
Quarterly maintenance
Test at least one device per zone and verify that the control panel responds to all
fault and alarm events. The control panel power supply and battery voltage
should be checked.
Annual maintenance
Test all system devices and verify that the control panel responds to all fault and
alarm events. All electrical connections must be visually inspected to make sure
that they are securely fastened, that they have not been damaged, and that they
are appropriately protected.
Cleaning the control panel

Keep the outside and inside of the control panel clean. Carry out periodic
cleaning using a damp cloth for the outside. Do not use products containing
solvents to clean the control panel. Do not clean the inside of the cabinet with
liquid products.
