4.1 Primary Power Supply
The Power Supply is;
➢ A switch-mode design and operates from a mains supply of: 90VAC - 264VAC @ 47Hz - 63Hz;
➢ Capable of supplying the system while all zones are in alarm; and
4.1.1 Mains wiring
The requirement for the Mains supply to the FACP is xed wiring, using three core cable (no less than
0.75mm and no more than 2.5mm ) or a suitable three conductor system, fed from an isolang
switch fuse spur, fused at 3A. This should be secured from unauthorised operaon and be marked
'FIRE ALARM: DO NOT SWITCH OFF. The Mains supply must be exclusive to the FACP.
4.1.2 Connecting the Panel
Connecng ZoneSense PLUS internal connecons and PCBs is best undertaken immediately prior to
Commissioning.
Before beginning ensure all devices on the circuits are correctly connected and that cable integrity is
veried throughout the installaon
Important: DO NOT use an insulaon tester ('Megger') with any electronic devices connected.
Faults occurring in the wiring which are not picked up at this stage will almost certainly result in
spurious and intermient faults when the equipment is energised.
4.1.3 Installing the Power Supply PCB
ZoneSense PLUS Power Supply PCB combines the funcons of a Mains to DC switched mode power
supply unit, baery charging unit and baery monitoring unit.
Important: Under no circumstances should the ZoneSense PLUS panel be operated without
the Power Supply PCB correctly mounted in the enclosure and the retaining screws securely ghtened.
4.1.4 Connecting the Mains
The technician should NOT aempt to connect Mains to the Panel unl fully conversant with the
layout and features of the Power Supply PCB.
The incoming Mains cable should be brought into the Panel at the top right hand side of the enclosure
and correctly terminated on the Chassis Earth Terminal and then to the Power Supply connector
block.
Note: Fuse F1 (2Amp Supply 1.25 Amp / 250VAC M205) (3 Amp Supply 2Amp /
250VAC M205) is eld replaceable
Before switching on the Power Supply the Earth MUST be connected to the chassis earth terminal.
1. All earth cabling must be terminated to the Panel Chassis Earth Terminal in a Star
conguraon.
