OVERVIEW Access Levels FireClass200 has several access levels for control panel management. Level 1 Level 2A Level 2B Level 3A Level 3B Level 4 The Plexiglas window allows all persons to view the control panel status. The door-lock protects the manual commands (RESET, SILENCE and LOGGER), and allows access to authorized key holders only. Only User PINs (code of 1 to 5 digits) can Disable the Loop devices, Bell Outputs, Software Zones and Network devices. Only the Installer PIN (code of 1 to 5 digits) can access the programming phase of the control panel parameters. Access to the internal components of the control panel, for maintenance purposes ---- battery and fuse replacement etc., must be done by authorized persons only, and requires removal of the screws and upper door. Repairs to the electronic board (e.g. to substitute the EPROM memory) must be done by the manufacturer. Features Day/Night The FireClass200 control panel provides Day mode and Night mode. The Alarm Threshold and Warning Threshold can be increased by the programmed value, during programmed hours. In this way false alarms, caused by the persons present in the protected ambient, will be reduced considerably. DAY Mode ----Silence will be enabled until the SILENCE button is pressed again. NIGHT Mode ----Silence will be enabled for the programmed time (from 0.5 to 30 minutes). The change-over from DAY to NIGHT Mode can be done manually, by means of the Silence option from the SYSTEM menu or automatically, as per the programming of the two Timers (it is possible to program the precise hours and days of the week when the control panel must operate in DAY Mode). OVERVIEW 7
Options with requirements The FireClass200 control panel performs the following options with requirements (complies with European norm EN54 part 2): outputs to fire alarm routing equipment co-incidence detection fault signals from points disablement of addressable points Test condition Telecom Module FC200/COM (Optional) The Telecom Module can call and send recorded messages to the programmed telephone numbers and, by means of communication protocols, can also send data to central stations. This module allows system management ---- through the FC200/SW software package installed on the PC that is connected to the telephone line. Description 8 independent channels Records one 11 second alarm message for each channel 32 programmable telephone numbers (modifiable) Up to 15 digits per telephone number; allows pauses of 1 or 5 seconds Repeats alarm messages for 20, 40, 60 or 80 seconds Repeats call cycle up to 5 times Voice answer detection Bypassable "dial tone" test Electronic telephone line interface Over-voltage protection DTMF and Pulse dialling Digital recording / Message play Non-volatile memory for data storage Manages the following communication protocols: ADEMCO SLOW 10 BAUD, ADEMCO FAST 14 BAUD, FRANKLIN 20 BAUD, RADIONICS 40 BAUD, SCANTRONIC 10 BAUD, CONTACT ID (DTMF), SIA 300 BAUD. Alarm cycle In the event of an alarm status on an alarm channel, the telephone dialler will generate the alarm cycle, shown in figure 1. 8 Analogue Fire Control Panel FireClass200
Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 The telephone dialler will switch the telephone line. After 3 seconds the dialler will engage the telephone line. If the Dial-tone check option is enabled (refer to "Programming" chapter) the dialler will check for the dial tone, and when detected, will step to successive phase. If the dial tone is not detected (option enabled) the dialler will hook-up and step back to phase1. The Dial-tone check will be done 4 times, after which the dialler will step to the successive telephone number. If this option is disabled the dialler will step directly to the successive phase. Phase 4 Phase 5 Phase 6 Call cycle The dialler will dial the telephone number of the alarm channel in alarm status. If the Voice answer detection option is enabled (refer to "Programming" chapter), the dialler will wait 25 seconds for a voice answer and, when voice answer is detected, the dialler will step to the successive phase. However, if the Voice answer detection option 6 is disabled, the dialler will pause for a few seconds before stepping to the successive phase. The dialler will send the alarm message assigned to the alarm channel in question. The message will be played for the programmed Message playback time (20, 40, 60 or 80 seconds). The Call cycle (set during programming) determines the number of times that each telephone number ---- assigned to the alarm channel in alarm status will be called (1 to 5 times).

PARTS IDENTIFICATION This chapter holds the full description of the main components and LEDs of the FireClass200. In most cases, the numbers in boldface refer to the parts shown in the tables and figures. Main unit (FireClass200) The Flashing status of certain LEDs is not dealt with in the following table, as it signals that the assigned event occurred and ended before the last rearming operation. LED MEANING ALARM ON: the control panel is in ALARM status. MORE ALARMS ON: presence of more than one alarm condition. PRE-ALARM FLASHING: PRE-ALARM status - the sensors have detected an alarm condition. The Outputs will be activated when the PRE-ALARM delay ends. TELECOM ON: the control panel is physically connected to the telephone line. MAIN POWER WALK TEST OFF: mains failure. Mains power must be restored before the batteries empty. FLASHING: Walk Test mode on a Software Zone; an alarm condition on the Zone in question will generate an alarm status on the assigned Outputs for approximately one second. DISABLED ON: at least one device is disabled. NIGHT ON: the control panel is operating in NIGHT mode. DAY ON: the control panel is operating in DAY mode. FAULT MAINS LOW BATTERY ON: presence of at least one fault condition; the type of fault will be signalled by the associated LED and/or on the display. ON: mains failure; the standby batteries will takeover the power supply to the control panel. This LED is complementary to the green MAINS- POWER LED, and will continue to signal the fault event after mains power has been restored (memory). ON: low batteries; proper functioning of the control panel cannot be guaranteed in the event of black-out. Wait several hours, if the LED stays ON the batteries are not rechargeable and must be replaced BATTERY FAULT ON: batteries are completely empty or not connected - check fuse 41 GROUND ON: voltage leak to ground - check connection insulation. FUSES ON: burnt fuse (fuse 41 or 42) - the fuse concerned will be indicated on the display. LOGIC UNIT ON: "blocked" microprocessor - call Installer for service. PARTS IDENTIFICATION 11
ADDRESS ON: loss of a loop device. SAME ADDRESS ON: two devices on the same loop have the same address. SILENCE Z01 Z16 ON: the SILENCE button has been used to places the SILENCEABLE Outputs in standby status. DAY mode SILENCE status will be held until the SILENCE button is pressed again. NIGHT mode SILENCE will be held for the programmed SILENCE time. ON: the corresponding zone is in ALARM Status. Flashing (3 secs. ON - 1 sec. OFF): the corresponding Zone is in PRE- ALARM status. Flashing (1 sec. ON - 0.5 sec. OFF): the FIXED delay is active. Flashing (2 secs ON - 2 secs OFF): the PAS delay is active. BUTTON FUNCTION SILENCE Places the SILENCEABLE Outputs in standby status: DAY mode SILENCE status will be held until the SILENCE button is pressed again. NIGHT mode SILENCE is held for the programmed SILENCE time. ACK Activates the PAS delay (if pressed when the FIXED delay is active). RESET REARMS the control panel.

2 or 4 wires can be used for the Loop connection: the connection type used for each Loop must be specified during the programming phase. Figure 9 illustrates the 2 wire connection to Loop 1. Figure 10 illustrates the 4 wire connection to Loop 1. + The 2 wire connection does not permit more than 32 detectors per Loop. + The 4 wire connection does not permit T connections. Connection of Conventional Devices Conventional Devices can be connected to terminals 9[ ] and 10[LC+]. Fire Detectors Manual Callpoints Conventional Fire Detectors must be connected in parallel to terminals [LC+] and [ ]. The resistor (2,700 ohm) connected to these terminals must be disconnected and connected to the terminals indicated in the instructions of the last device on the Conventional Line (see fig. 10a). The Common terminals (C) and the Normally Open (NO) of the Manual Callpoint must be connected in parallel to terminals [LC+] and [ ]. The activated Callpoint must have a 680 ohm resistance. If the Callpoint does not have a 680 ohm resistor it must be connected externally. If the Manual Callpoint is the last device on the Conventional Line, the EOL resistor must be connected as shown in figure 10a. + Also the Conventional Zone Modules can be used for connecting Conventional Devices to the Loop. Figure 11 Connection example of 2 Repeaters and 2 Slave Panels to the RS485 network 28 Analogue Fire Control Panel FireClass200
Connection of Repeaters and Slave Panels Up to 8 FC200/REP Repeaters, and up to 7 FC200/SL Slave Panels can be connected to the RS485 port of the FireClass200 (terminals 15[+485] and 16[--485]): the power supply (27.6 V) to the Repeaters is supplied by terminals 17[+] and 14[ ]. The FireClass200 must be programmed as Master, this will permit it to read the Repeaters and/or Slave Panels connected to its RS485 port. Use the Network option from the System Menu to assign a different address to each connected Slave Panel. Figure 12 Connection example of Conventional devices INSTALLATION 29
Connection of Output Devices The control panel has 2 Non-monitored outputs, 4 Bell Outputs (Monitored) and 8 Alarm Repetition Outputs (one for each Software Zone) for the connection of Output Devices. The Bell Outputs can be expanded to 10 or 16 by means of one or two FC200/6OUT Output Expanders. + The Output Devices can also be connected to the Loops by means of Control Modules. Bell Outputs The Bell Outputs are marked by the letter C and their address number. The activation modes and times of each Bell Output can be programmed during the programming phase. + The Address of the Bell Outputs on the Output Expander depends on the address assigned to the latter. + The terminal marked by C only, is a Type C Output and is not a Bell Output. The Type C Output is a Non-programmable, Monitored output activated by Alarm status. The Bell Outputs can be forced into standby status by pressing the SI- LENCE button: in this way, once the alarm has been acknowledged, it will be possible to silence the acoustic signalling devices, and leave the optic devices to monitor the situation until the alarm status has ceased completely. For example, by making a connection as per figure 14, an ALARM status will activate the Flasher, the Bell and the optic and acoustic signalling device of the Self-powered Siren. Figure 13 General diagram for the connection of a single device (a) and of more than one device (b) to the Bell outputs: presuming that the device is activated with the positive (27.6 V) on the [A+] terminal. 30 Analogue Fire Control Panel FireClass200
By pressing the SILENCE button, the Bell and the acoustic signalling device of the Siren will be stopped, whilst the Flasher and the optic signalling device of the Siren will continue to signal the Alarm status until the RESET button is pressed.

CONTROL PANEL MANAGEMENT The FireClass200 can be managed from the main panel, or from an IMB compatible PC ---- connected locally via RS232 serial or via Telecom interface (FC200/SW software package and Telecom interface optional). Unauthorized access to manual control of the system is prohibited by the door-lock, which allows access to authorized key holders only (Access Level 2A). There are three main management phases with different access levels. Programming Modifying Reading Parameter This is the programming phase of the control panel, and its connected Devices (Fire Sensors, Modules, Repeaters, Slave Panels, etc.). Access to this phase requires the Installer PIN (Access Level 3A). This phase allows the User to disable the Devices connected to the control panel, and to Delete (clear) the counters and memory. Access to this phase is reserved for authorized personnel only, and requires either the Installer or a User PIN (Access Level 2B). This phase allows the User to view: control panel parameters; Device parameters; control panel version; control panel logger. The Reading Parameter phase is also for the printout of the logger contents and programming data. No PIN is required. + These instructions are for management from the FireClass200 panel only. However, the parameters are also valid for management from the FireClass200 panel and via PC. + Instructions for management via PC can be found in the FC200/SW software package guide.

Programming: Fire sensors Figure 16 shows the Fire detector parameters. Description Analogue Value Label Associated Zone Alarm threshold Procedure type This is the non-modifiable description of the Device type. This shows the non-modifiable real-time values measured by the Device. This is for the modifiable Device label (up to 20 characters can be entered). The label is the Device identifier. Each Device can be associated with 4 of the 16 Software Zones. When a Device goes into ALARM status, its associated Zones will also go into ALARM status. This determines the Device threshold, if this limit is exceeded the control panel will generate ALARM status. The threshold is indicated by an arbitrary unit: 00 to 99 (default 50%). This determines the actions the control panel will perform when the Device threshold is exceeded: * (default) - the control panel will signal the ALARM according to the programmed times and modes. P (Prealarm) - the control panel will activate the ALARM delay. A (Warning) - the control panel will activate a WARNING signal. Drift compensation When this option is enabled the Device Alarm threshold will be corrected automatically. + Drift compensation effects analogue smoke and ionisation sensors only. Alarm verify Timer This determines the number of times the Device must exceed the Alarm threshold before the programmed actions will be activated. Use the Timer option from the OPTIONS menu to program the hours and days of the week when the Alarm threshold must be increased by 10%. It is possible to set type T Timer, type S Timer or no Timer (indicated by **). + If both timers are programmed, the highest values will be applied.
