The 1300 Fire Alarm Panel has been developed to meet the requirements of B.S. 5839 Part 4, 1990, for use in buildings that require a single zone of detection. It is a single stage panel and includes its own mains-powered charger and batteries. The Panel includes a Main PCB Type 01310 which contains the control electronics of the Panel, and a Front Panel PCB which carries the user indications and Reset Switch.
a) Undo crosspoint front panel screws and hinge down lid. Remove any internal transit packing and rechargeable lead acid batteries.
b) Remove appropriate knock-out(s) and fit gland nut(s).
c) Mount panel to wall ensuring it is clear of all masonry debris, swarf etc. Wall fixing is achieved using size 8 screws through the wall bosses on the back face taking care not to damage the printed circuit board.
d) Connect mains supply ensuring the supply fuse is removed.
Input supply TBA - L 230/240V A.C.live.
N Neutral.
E Earth.
Connect sounders to TBC terminals Sounder 1 + and - and Sounder 2 + using a ring circuit. Be careful to observe correct polarity. Connect the 1K0 End Of Line resistors near centre of ring, in parallel. The resistor must be rated at least 1 watt.
a) The panel is equipped with ‘‘Head Removal’’ circuitry which, unlike earlier systems, can detect a fire signal from devices beyond a removed detector head, thus saving wiring costs since this eliminates the need to wire all the call points between the panel and the detectors.
In order to accomplish this it is necessary to fit the correct EPL02195 End of Line module and also to fit a Schottky diode in each detector base. N.B. most detector manufacturers optionally supply bases with the diodes already fitted.
b) Connect Zone inputs to TBC Zone +(positive connection) and TBC Zone - (negative connection).
Connect EPL02195 EOL (End of Line) module across the end of the Zone wiring. It is essential to observe correct polarity, Red to positive, Black to negative.
c) Check for shorts, loose connections etc. NEVER use a ‘‘Megger’’ on any circuit connected to the panel, electronic sounders, or an EPL02195 EOL module.
a) Fit 250mA mains supply fuse.
Fuse Ratings
F1. 5 x 20mm 250mA slow blow. (R.S. 419-713) Mains i/p
F2. 5 x 20mm 500mA slow blow. (R.S. 419-735) Battery supply
F3. 5 x 20mm 500mA slow blow. (R.S. 419-735) Sounder Circuit 1
F4. 5 x 20mm 500mA slow blow. (R.S. 419-735) Sounder Circuit 2
To change F1 (Mains Input) fuse, first ensure that the mains supply has been disconnected, remove the protective cover by gripping at the ends and tilting forwards. Remember to replace the cover following fuse replacement.
d) Fit and connect the batteries.
TAKE CARE TO ENSURE CORRECT POLARITY CONNECTION TO BATTERIES. PERMANENT DAMAGE MAY RESULT TO THE FIRE PANEL IF INCORRECTLY CONNECTED.
Fit key to key switch. Check fault indications by first shorting and then disconnecting end of line resistors on sounder circuits and EOL device on the detector zone. Check that fault sounder can be silenced by ‘‘SILENCE ALARMS’’ switch or automatically on clearing fault.
e) Operate a call point or detector to test the system.
f) Ensure sounders give the correct sound.
Ensure ‘‘SILENCE ALARMS’’ switch functions correctly.
Ensure ‘‘RESOUND ALARMS’’ switch functions after alarm ‘‘Silence’’is operated.
Ensure ‘‘RESET’’ switch functions correctly. (Press the switch whileholding the key switch at the SILENCE ALARMS position).
g) Remove key.
Only Sealed Rechargeable Lead Acid Batteries of the types listed below are to be used with this unit.
BATTERY STANDBY TIME HOURS
2 off 12v 1.2AH in series, 24 Hrs
Or 2 off 12v 1.9AH in series, 48 Hrs
Or 2 off 12v 3.0AH in series. 72 Hrs
These batteries should be changed at 4 yearly intervals. It is advisable to label batteries with installation date. Fully charged spare batteries are also available for immediate despatch from
EVASAFE PRODUCTS LIMITED, FARREN COURT, COWFOLD, WEST SUSSEX, RH13 8BP. UK.
All units are supplied factory set for use with 24V (2.3v/cell charge rate) sealed lead acid batteries, but should the unit require re-aligning the following procedure should be adopted.
1. Disconnect internal batteries.
2. Connect -ve of a calibrated digital D.C. voltmeter to PL3 -ve. Connect +ve of the voltmeter on 50v range to PL4 +ve.
3. Adjust RV1 to read + 27.6v on voltmeter.
4. Disconnect voltmeter and reconnect batteries.
With the system in its quiescent state, disconnect a battery lead and ensure the Charger Low Current Fault indicator operates. Reconnect the battery and the fault indicator should extinguish.
a) Open circuit faults - check fuses F3 and F4, and end of line resistors across sounders, EOL module across detectors and call points.
b) Short circuit faults - these must be cleared immediately since operation of the alarm whilst a short circuit exists will blow the sounder fuses.
c) Zone faults - check wiring and end of line module.
d) SOUNDERS. ONLY LOW CURRENT SOUNDERS SHOULD BE USED - 25mA max.,
Note that the maximum panel alarm current is 0.5A.
e) Maintenance - Spare PCb’s and Fuses are available from the supplier at the address at the end of these instructions.
f) Use of xenon beacons - These should preferably be at end of line, and of 2W rating.
g) Remote contacts (TBB) are provided for extension of the fire alarm. The contacts are capable of switching 125v 1A max.
When the system has been installed and tested to your satisfaction, ensure that any staff within the building know that the system is operational, and what the signals mean. The person responsible for routine testing of the system should be shown how to operate and reset the system, and, most important, who to contact in the event of faults.
