PROJECT PROCESS 1 PROJECT PROCESS 1.1 PLANNING The system requirements are determined by evacuation procedures, configuration of the building and the use to which it is to be put need to be determined accurately by consulting all interested parties. The involvement will vary according to the size and complexity of the installation, but may include: User / purchaser Enforcing authority Insurer System designer Equipment supplier Installer In small simple systems the consultation may be minimal, but all decisions should be recorded and available for reference. 1.2 SITE SURVEY Site Surveys are critical to the successful installation of wireless fire alarm systems by evaluating a site for the following: 1) Interference on the 15 system channels, the Survey Tool channel, and the 2 Commissioning channels 2) If any of the 15 system channels are already in use by another system 3) The signal path quality between the Panel/Booster location and each remote device location on all 15 system channels. 4) The optimum system frequency/frequencies for the installation. To ensure that a site survey portrays an accurate picture of the site it is critical that every remote device location is surveyed and in the location the device will be installed. It is also critical that when a site requires a Booster that a survey is conducted between the Booster location and every remote device location associated with the Booster. A site plan should be generated that clearly shows the location of each device (including the Panel) and is marked with the address the location will be surveyed as (making it simple to relate survey results to a physical device). Devices should be clearly marked on the site plan to indicate whether they are directly commissioned to the panel or via which Booster to simplify commissioning. 1.3 EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION The control panel and signal boosters should be fixed in accordance with the site plan and wired first. The bases, mounting plates, and back boxes of the remote devices should be fixed in accordance with the site plan. The remote devices should then be commissioned to the fire panel/boosters and then installed. 1.4 COMMISSIONING / CONFIGURATION Commissioning and system configuration should follow the guidance in the Installation Manual and using Wireless Commissioning Tools and Site Installer software as necessary 4
SYSTEM INSTALLATION 2 SYSTEM INSTALLATION 2.1 SUPPLIED WITH THE CONTROL PANEL 2 x Batteries + Battery Leads 1 x Installation Manual 1 x User Guide 2.2 STANDARDS Installation must only be undertaken by appropriately skilled and trained personnel. The wireless system components are designed to comply with all relevant European standards. The system should be designed to the guidance given by any national standards or specific requirements pertaining conditions on the site. Although the cabling required in a wireless system is minimal it must comply with local wiring codes. In some installations it may be necessary to deviate from the code, any such deviation must be listed on the Installation certificate in the system documentation. 2.3 FREQUENCY ALLOCATION Before any wireless equipment is installed on a site a full site survey must be conducted (site scan and every device position surveyed), the results saved, analysed and a report generated that clearly highlights the frequency channels required for all Panels and Boosters on site. Refer to the Survey Tool documentation for more details. 2.4 SITE PLAN A site plan should be provided that clearly shows where the devices should be installed in accordance with the site survey results. The site plan should also clearly show which devices are directly associated with each fire panel, and which devices are associated with each Booster. The site plan should also show the frequency and system ID of each Panel and Booster on site. This will greatly simplify commissioning the site. A clear and concise site plan will prevent unnecessary rework as all devices will be commissioned correctly. 2.5 SYSTEM COMPATABILITY The wireless field devices are only compatible with the CW9000 system. They are not compatible with any other wireless system and likewise other wireless field devices are not compatible with the CW9000 system. 5
SYSTEM INSTALLATION 2.6 FIELD EQUIPMENT Field equipment must only be fitted according to the positions determined by the site survey and highlighted on the site plan. Failure to follow the survey data could lead to unreliable operation and expensive rectification work. The only wireless devices that are compatible with this system are those from the CW9000 range. The following wireless devices are battery powered and require no cabling: Figure 1 The following wireless devices are battery powered and require input/output cabling: Figure 2 6
SYSTEM INSTALLATION The following wireless devices are mains powered with battery backup: Wireless Booster Figure 3 Installation of the se devices should follow the recommendations supplied with each device. There are three methods for commissioning the devices to the control panel. Depending on which method is used will determine when batteries are fitted to the equipment and therefore this could influence the installation process used on site. When installing batteries use only those supplied with the equipment or the alternatives listed on the labels fixed to the equipment. Failure to follow the recommendations may lead to increased maintenance to replace batteries and possibly unreliable operation. Wireless Boosters will require connection to a secure mains supply similar to that used for the control panel. The 3 channel I/O is battery powered, but does require wired connections to the circuits it is controlling / monitoring. The cables used should conform to the recommendations of BS 5839-1. 7
CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION 3 CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION 3.1 GENERAL Read all the instructions before starting work. Installation must be carried out by suitably qualified / trained personnel. The control panel should be mounted on a wall in a position that allows users clear access to read the display and use the controls. The location should be clean, dry, well ventilated and preferably not in direct sunlight. Temperatures in excess of +45 C or below -10 C may cause problems. 3.2 PANEL MOUNTING The control panel cannot be recessed into a wall as the aerials must be left free of obstructions. Ensure that it is positioned where there is no risk of damage to the aerials. The position should be such that the aerials on top of the control panel are clear of metal structures, cabling and piping. Where the control panel is to be mounted to a partition wall check that services such as cables and pipes are not concealed within it and that plasterboard is not foil backed. For ease of access the panel s door can be removed by opening it to 90, removing the retention bracket above the lower hinge and then sliding it upwards off the hinge spindles. Refitting is the reverse of removal. The panel should be fixed using three suitable fixings through the holes indicated below. Do not drill through the panel to locate the fixings as dust and debris will contaminate the electronics. Figure 4 8
CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION 3.3 AERIALS The panel uses two aerials which are supplied with the panel along with two rubber covers. They are fitted by dropping them through the two holes in the top of the panel and then screwing the connectors fully clockwise onto the sockets provided. The rubber covers should then be dropped over the aerials and fitted so that the groove around the bottom locates with the edge of the panels casing. The covers are deliberately a tight fit and may need effort to fit around the aerial and the panel s casing. 3.4 CABLES Once the control panel has been mounted, power and other external circuits can be installed. Installation must adhere strictly to local wiring codes. Installations in the UK must adhere to the current edition of the IEE Wiring regulations (BS 7671) and to the recommendations of BS 5839-1: 2002+A2:2008 Fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings. Code of practice for system design, installation, commissioning and maintenance. ALL CABLING MUST ENTER THE PANEL THROUGH THE 5 ENTRIES IN THE BOTTOM OF THE CASE OR VIA THE RECTANGULAR SLOT IN THE BACK. DO NOT DRILL YOUR OWN ENTRY POINTS IN THE CASING AND ROUTE THE CABLING ACROSS THE INTERNAL AERIAL CONNECTORS OR RADIO CIRCUITRY. CABLING SHOULD BE ROUTED SO THAT IT DOES NOT GO VERTICALLY UPWARDS UNTIL IT IS AT LEAST 1 METRE FROM THE PANEL IN ANY DIRECTION. THIS INCLUDES BEHIND THE PANEL SO DO NOT TAKE CABLES THROUGH THE WALL AND THEN UP BEHIND THE PANEL. IT IS ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT THE 1 METRE EXCLUSION ZONE IS APPLIED AT ALL OTHER SERVICES IN THE BUILDING. Never carry out insulation tests on cables while they are connected to equipment. Do not over tighten connector terminal screws. Always use the correct type of cable specifically designed for in fire detection and alarm systems. Always observe the polarity throughout the system. Non colour coded conductors should be permanently identified. Figure 5 9
CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION 3.5 MAINS SUPPLY Connection to the mains supply must be via an isolating device, such as an un-switched fuse unit, with a fuse rating of 3A. This supply must be reserved solely for the fire alarm system; the cover should be red and labelled: If the circuit is fed from the live side of the main isolator and additional warning label should be added reading: The main isolator should also be labelled: If the isolating device for the fire alarm supply is taken from the switched side of the main isolating device, a label should be fixed to the main isolator reading: The mains supply should enter the control panel at the bottom left and kept segregated from all other circuits entering the enclosure. 10
CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION 3.6 OTHER EXTERNAL CIRCUITS 3.6.1 Alarm Sounders Two alarm circuits are provided to operate conventional audible and visual alarm devices to be controlled directly from the control panel. The outputs are designed to work with polarised alarm devices so the polarity of the connections must be observed at all times. For Circuit monitoring a 6K8 end of line (EOL) resistor is supplied, this should be fitted into the last device on each circuit. The circuit must be wired in a radial with no spurring or T connections. If no wired audible or visual alarms are to be used then the resistor should be fitted into the panel terminals to suppress fault warnings. The total alarm load across the two circuits is limited to 1.5A. The load should be distributed evenly across both circuits. DO NOT exceed the rated output current. If connecting to existing circuits, check the loading on each circuit and ensure that there are no existing wiring faults. Note: any hard wired sounders should have a similar tone to the wireless sounders used elsewhere on site. 3.6.2 Auxiliary Relay The control panel has a volt free (SPCO) contact which operates when a fire condition is indicated. The contacts remain operated until the fire condition is reset. The contact is rated at 1A 24Vdc. DO NOT exceed this current rating. 3.6.3 Fault Output There is a 12Vdc output from the terminals when the control panel is healthy, i.e. no faults are displayed. If a fault is present the output will drop to 0Vdc. The output is monitored and must have a 6K8 resistor fitted at the end of the circuit. If the output is not used the resistor must be connected into the panel terminals to suppress fault warnings. The output is limited to 30mA. DO NOT exceed this current rating. 11
CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION 3.7 PANEL CONNECTION Figure 6 12
CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION 3.8 NETWORKING Up to 10 control panels may be linked together to operate as a single networked system. To achieve this each panel must be fitted with an additional network card. When operating as a network all fire and fault events are displayed at each panel and when suitably configured, silencing and resetting of alarms can be achieved from any of the panels on the network, Figure 7 Figure 8 13
CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION Cable screen continuity must be maintained throughout the entire network, including each junction point. The screen should only be earthed at one end usually the first control panel. The cable screen and drain wire are NOT to be treated as a safety earth and therefore should not be connected to any terminals marked with an earth symbol except in the control panel. Protective green and yellow earth sleeve should be used. Where a network cable passes between buildings, screen continuity should not be maintained from building to building, but a network booster unit must be used at some point regardless of cable length. The cable screen should be connected to one panel only in each building. A terminator resistor should be fitted at the beginning and end of the network. If the network length exceeds 1Km then a network booster should be used. The network booster requires a 24Vdc supply which can be obtained from the local control panel. Figure 9 Figure 10 Using the cable specified above, the maximum distance between network boosters is 1Km. Once the maximum cable length is reached another network booster must then be fitted which allows a further 1km of cable. A maximum of 3 network boosters can be used. 14
4 COMMISSIONING 4.1 INTRODUCTION After the wireless control panel has been powered and any faults remedied the commissioning process for the system can use either three methods. The method chosen will depend on the size and complexity of the site and to some extent on personal preference. Automatic Commissioning learns the devices onto the control panel (or booster) in the order in which they are powered up and automatically assigns addresses consecutively. This method does not use the handheld Survey/Commissioning tools and is best suited to small to medium installations. Manual Commissioning uses the handheld Survey/Commissioning tool to select the device which is to be commissioned on to the control panel. The devices must still be commissioned in sequence as per the site plan as the control panel will automatically assign addresses consecutively. This method allows the devices to be learnt onto the control panel after being fully installed into a building and powered up. Soft Addressing uses the handheld Survey/Commissioning tool to manually assign an address to each device in any order. The control panel is then placed into System Rescan mode to find the addressed devices. Both automatic and manual methods can be used on the same site as circumstances demand. It is not recommended to use the automatic or manual mode with the soft addressing mode on the same site. Device and Zone labelling, cause and effect programming can be set using the touch screen on the control panel, but this can be time consuming with complex systems. It is more convenient to setup the system using a laptop running Site Installer software. These instructions cover only basic system setup using the control panel s touch screen. Site Installer instructions are supplied with the software. 15

4.3 POWERING THE PANEL 1) Fit the two 4Ah batteries into the control panel and fix the clamp. 2) Connect the battery cables (so the batteries are in series) and ensure that the plug is securely fixed into the socket on the PCB. Figure 11 3) Connect the AC mains supply a. The panel will run through a self test routine during which the LED indications will illuminate and the LCD display will also illuminate. b. The display will briefly show and initialisation screen, after which it will default to the home screen with a company logo displayed. If there are any faults on the system these will be listed and must be rectified before proceeding. Figure 12 4) Before commissioning ensure that the following data is entered into the panel (see pages 23 to 37): a. Pass codes for access to the menus b. Time and date c. Panel number (if networked) d. Number of panels (if networked) e. System frequency f. System ID 17
4.4 SCREEN COVER During the commissioning process it is likely that the internal buzzer of the control panel will sound frequently. To simply the silencing of the buzzer, a feature called Screen Cover can be installed so that the home screen is changed to include a Mute Buzzer button as shown below. This button can be used without first entering the Supervisor or Engineer pass code. If the following screen is displayed then follow the instructions below for activating the screen cover. 1. On the home screen press the Supervisor button to open the access screen. 2. Enter the engineers code (default is 143243) and press OK. 18

4.5 FAULTS If one or more faults are present the home screen will automatically show the faults list. Figure 13 For instructions on how to view the faults refer to the relevant section in the Quick Start Guide supplied. The internal buzzer of the Panel will operate continuously and a combination of Fault LEDs will illuminate. For instructions on how to mute the panel buzzer refer to the relevant section of the Quick Start Guide supplied. The LEDs provide a quick indication of what the faults are without having to examine the faults list. The fault LEDs provide the following fault indications: Power Fault: System Fault: General Fault: There is a problem with the mains supply, the batteries or the battery charger. There is a critical problem with the panel or the watchdog reset switch was pressed. Wireless device faults (all device types) or any other fault not covered by the other fault LEDs. Once the faults have been corrected the panel must be reset to clear the fault indications. For instructions on how to perform a soft reset refer to the relevant section of the Quick Start Guide. 20
4.6 ACCESS TO PANEL MENUS The control panel has three levels of access, two of which are pass code protected. Failure to enter the correct pass code 3 times will result in access being denied and the system will return to the home screen. 4.6.1 ACCESS LEVEL 1(USER) Public access does not require a pass code and allows anyone to view the system status and messages from the home screen. Figure 14 4.6.2 ACCESS LEVEL 2(SUPERVISOR) This is a restricted access level that requires a valid pass code entry to gain access to key panel functions such as Evacuate, Silence Alarms and Soft Reset. The default pass code for this level is 2214. It is highly recommended that a different pass code is set during commissioning to prevent unauthorised access. To access this level press the Supervisor button in the top left hand corner then enter the supervisor pass code and press the OK button. Figure 15 21
4.6.3 ACCESS LEVEL 3 (ENGINEER) This is a restricted access level that requires a valid pass code entry to gain access to configuration and engineering functions. The default pass code for this level is 143243. It is recommended that a different pass code is set during commissioning to prevent unauthorised access. To access this level press the Supervisor button in the top left hand corner then enter the engineer pass code and press the OK button. Figure 16 22

MAINTENANCE 5 MAINTENANCE 5.1 SYSTEM MAINTENANCE All fire systems require regular inspection and maintenance. For systems installed in the UK the guidance given in BS 5839-1 should be followed. Wireless systems also require that the batteries in the field devices are changed periodically. 5.2 SYSTEM SHUT-DOWN It is recommended that if a control panel or booster needs to be shut-down for more than 12 hours that the field devices are also powered down to conserve battery life. Failure to follow this guideline could result in degraded battery life as the field devices will be attempting to regain communications with the control panel. 5.3 WIRELESS RECEPTION If a field device loses communications with the control panel or booster to which it is assigned, it is a requirement of the governing standards that it makes regular attempts to regain communications. A field device will regain communications with the panel by periodically listening for a broadcast from the control panel. Once synchronisation and communications is regained the field device will report its current status to the control panel. The control panel poll the system every 80 seconds to make sure all devices are still in communication with it. The control panel will resend the poll to any device that fails to respond every 20 seconds until the field device responds. If the unit fails to respond for a full 5 minutes then a device missing fault will register for this device. However, this does not mean that the device will not regain communications once the radio obstruction has cleared. 5.4 CHANGING BATTERIES The wireless system will give an automatic warning at the control panel when the capacity left in any set of batteries is running low. When the warning is given the batteries will still be able to operate the device for more than 30 days. In normal service, batteries will have a life of around 3 years. When replacing batteries only use approved types as listed on labels fixed to the devices. It is advisable to disable the devices concerned before changing their batteries. If the devices are not disabled, tamper faults will be generated by the device(s) and in the case of call points a fire will also be generated as the glass element will have been removed. The disable command can be applied to either an individual address or a zone. If several sets of batteries are to be changed it is recommended to use the disable zone option. Once all batteries have been replaced and the field units re-mounted, the control panel should be reset before enabling the addresses or zones. 63
