6. INSTALLATION
6.1. Safety
ELECTRICAL HAZARD: Disconnect power from equipment prior to making any internal adjustments. This
equipment must have an Earth connection.
FRAGILE: Inspect the equipment prior to installation. Do not install the equipment if damage is apparent. If
damaged, return to the supplier.
ELECTROSTATIC HAZARD: This is sensitive electronic equipment. Apply safe ant-static practices when
handling this equipment.
CIRCUIT LIMITATIONS: The maximum number of detectors connected to a single detection zone is limited
by the control and indicating equipment, and may be limited by local regulations.
GENERAL CAUTIONS: This equipment must be installed by a suitably qualified and technically competent
person. A basic knowledge and training in the installation of fire detection and alarm systems is assumed.
The system should be designed by a suitably qualified person with reference to local regulations and
guidance from the fire officer where applicable. Service should only be performed by qualified personnel.

6.2. Tools and Equipment


Before commencing installation, ensure all equipment and tools to mount and connect the equipment are
available, such as drills, mounting screws, cables and ladders.

6.3. Control Panel Mounting


The 4001 is designed for recessed mount, but may also be surface-mounted. Cable entry points are
provided at the top and back of the housing. Do not drill additional holes as cables could then interfere with
the PCB or battery location. Maintain separation between the incoming mains voltage cable and the extra-
low voltage input and output device cabling.
Fix the panel to the wall using the four mounting holes provided and No. 8-10 countersunk screws. Any dust
created during the fixing process must be kept out of the control panel and care must be taken not to
damage any wiring or internal components.

6.4. Control Panel Power-Up


Before connecting external wiring, apply power to the control panel with the end-of-line devices for detection
and alarm zones installed.
Depending on panel load and standby requirements, two DC 12 V valve-regulated lead-acid batteries with a
capacity up to 7 Ah may be fitted in the enclosure. The batteries should be wired in series (DC 24 V) using
the supplied link. Take care not to short circuit the battery terminals.
With mains and battery power connected, there should be no fault indications.

6.5. General Wiring Requirements


Wiring should be installed in accordance with National Standards and wiring regulations.
To protect against electrical interference the use of screened cables throughout the system is
recommended. Separate cables should be used for alarm and detection circuits, the use of multi-core cables
to carry alarm circuits and detector circuits is not recommended. The cable screens should be terminated
and connected to Earth at the panel only.
Maximum cross section of cables to use is 2.5 mm² to avoid damaging the terminals in the control panel.
The input/output terminals are shown below.

6.6. Mains Wiring


Mains supply wiring should only be undertaken by a suitably qualified and competent person.
Mains wiring should be 3-core (1 ~ 2.5) mm², fed from a dedicated 3 A (or greater) circuit breaker. The circuit
should be secured from unauthorized operation and be marked “Fire Alarm Do Not Switch Off”.
The mains supply should be routed away from the other cables and enter the control panel adjacent to the
Mains terminal block.

6.7. Detection Zones


Each zone has capacity for up to 32 detectors and an unlimited number of manual call points. Alarm zone
limitations may also be restricted by local regulations.
A capacitor end-of-line device is supplied for each zone as part of the monitoring circuit. Fit the capacitor to
the last device of each Zone. If a zone is unused, fit the end-of-line capacitor to the zone terminals. If the
capacitor is not installed, a fault will be indicated for that zone.
A detector circuit wiring layout is shown below. Consult the device installation instructions for device
termination requirements.

4001 non-addressable control panel
Installation and Service Manual

If manual call points are wired on the same circuit as detectors, then in order to comply with some local
requirements regarding device disconnection monitoring, detector bases should have a Schottky diode fitted
which permits manual call points to continue to operate normally after a detector is removed (see diagram).
Manual call points should have a maximum internal resistance of (470 ~ 680) Ω when activated.
Terminate the wiring for each detector zone in the terminals marked at the control panel and connect the
cable screens to earth.

6.8. Alarm Zones


Two alarm output circuits are provided for non-addressable audio/visual alarm devices. The maximum
combined output current is 910 mA. All audio/visual alarm devices must be voltage polarity sensitive. Non-
polarized alarm devices will indicate a Fault Condition. The alarm zone circuits are protected against short-
circuit. An electronic fuse will reset when the short circuit is removed and the control panel is reset.
Terminate the wiring for each audio/visual alarm device circuit in their respective terminals and the cable
screens connected to earth.
Fit a 200 kΩ resistor (supplied with the control panel) to the last audio/visual alarm device on the alarm zone
circuit. If an alarm zone circuit is not used, fit the end-of-line resistor in the control panel alarm output
terminals.
An alarm zone circuit wiring layout is shown below. Consult the device installation instructions for device
termination requirements.

6.9. Ancillary Outputs


Three ancillary outputs are available. Terminate the wiring for each auxiliary output in their respective
terminals and the cable screens connected to earth.
6.9.1. Auxiliary Power
DC 28 V @ 300 mA is available. The output is supervised and short-circuit protected by an electronic fuse,
which resets when the short-circuit is cleared and the panel is reset.
6.9.2. Fire Alarm
The Fire Alarm output provides a voltage-free change-over relay contact output that activates in the Fire
Alarm Condition. The output remains active until the Fire Alarm Condition is reset.
6.9.3. Fault
The Fault output provides a voltage-free normally-closed relay contact output that opens when a Fault
Condition is present.

6.10.1. Remote Reset
The momentary closure of a contact at remote reset input will initiate a system reset.
6.10.2. Evacuation Start/Stop
Evacuation Start/Stop activates alarms immediately when a short-circuit is applied to the input. The
SILENCE/ACTIVATE ALARMS LED will illuminate when active. Alarms continue to operate until the short-
circuit is removed, or the SILENCE/ACTIVATE ALARMS button is pressed.
6.10.3. Day/Night Mode
A short-circuit applied to the Day/Night Mode input will enable programmed delays (Day Mode). The
DELAYS ACTIVE LED will be illuminated. Removing the short-circuit will disable programmed delays (Night

7. PRE-COMMISSIONING
Prior to commissioning, undertake the following pre-commissioning checks.
1) Check the wiring for continuity. Short- or open-circuit indications must be rectified before connecting to
the control panel. All cable testing must be carried out with a multi-meter, not a meg-ohm meter when
devices are connected. Induced voltages greater than DC 1 V indicates possible cable problems or bad
earth connection and must be rectified before device connection.
2) Check detection zone cables and ensure all field connections are made, and devices are connected to
their bases.
3) Check that all end-of-line devices are fitted, either to the last device on the detection zone circuit, the last
device on the alarm zone circuit, or to the output terminals (where the zone circuit is not used).
4) Check the earth connection is secure.
