Operation Manual
FT1020G3 Rev 2.4

1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
FT1020G3 Operation Manual is a document intended to be used by the end user and the
fire brigade personnel as well as service / commissioning engineers, who should read this
document in conjunction with the FT1020G3 Technical / Programming manual, since most
of the information in one of the documents is not found in the other document and vice
versa.
The block wiring diagrams of a standard FT1020G3 system and general arrangement are
shown in chapter 33 page 151.
Due to continual development and improvement, different S/W versions are to be found.
This document is valid for software (firmware) version 2.4.x. On the date of printing this
manual x = 4.
The software version is the firmware (system software) downloaded in to the Control Unit
via PC windows based software e.g. EBL512 G3 V2.4.X. The latest system software is
factory downloaded in FT1020G3 before delivery. However, new software may be
upgraded to a newer revision on site.
The software version is dependent on the country where the control panel to be installed,
that is due to the variations in the standard in each country. Two separate software
versions are available, Australian (AU) and New Zealand (NZ).
The PC software is a windows based software EBLWin which has to be installed in your
PC, and must have a version number similar to the software (firmware) version number
i.e. version 2.4.x. The EBLWin is used to download the firmware and the Site Specific
Data (SSD) into the FDCIE.
Only the first two digits must be identical in the software and the EBLWin version number
i.e. 2.4.x (x = minor modifications).

Device or function Description
Alarm points
Units, which can generate a fire alarm in FT1020G3, i.e. analogue
detectors (sensors), manual call points, conventional detectors,
Analogue or conventional photoelectric smoke detector
Sensor = Analogue detector
Analogue detector
Contains an A/D-converter. The FT1020G3 picks up the digital
values ("sensor values") for each detector individually. All
evaluations and "decisions" are then taken by alarm algorithms in
the FDCIE. As from version 2.0.x the latest detector generation
(440x) can be used in "Advanced mode", i.e. the alarm algorithms
are in the detector instead. Analogue detectors are addressable,
an address setting tool 4414 is used for the detector's COM loop
address and mode settings.
An analogue detector has to be plugged in an Analogue Sensor
Analogue Sensor Base (ASB)
An analogue detector is plugged in an ASB, which is connected to
a COM loop (see below).
