2. Residential Fire Panel
2.1 Functional Description
The Residential Fire Panel provides the necessary control, monitoring and power
supply functions required by the Residential Alarm System.
2.1.1 Power supply
2.1.1.1 Primary Power Supply / Battery Charger
The primary power supply is fully regulated and has mains surge suppression fitted.
Nominal output is 13.7V DC, maximum current 500mA. In an alarm condition any
additional current is supplied by the secondary supply (battery). The power supply
circuitry is integrated with the field wiring terminations on the Termination Board.
2.1.1.2 Secondary Supply
The secondary supply is a 12V 6.5AH Sealed Lead Acid Battery which under normal
operating conditions will be continuously charged by the primary power supply. If the
primary power supply fails the secondary supply will provide a minimum of 72 hrs (3
days) normal operation followed by a minimum of 168 hrs (7 days) in the low battery
condition.
2.1.2 Termination of Field Wiring
All field wiring enters the panel via knock outs on either the top or rear of the panel and
is then terminated on the Termination Board. An optional zone output card may also
be fitted.
2.1.2.1 Smoke Alarm Inputs
The termination board is clearly labelled for positive supply (+), negative supply (-)
and interconnect (I) for Zone 1 to Zone 6. When terminating each zone disconnect the
End Of Line device and re-terminate it at the last Smoke / Heat Alarm on the zone.
Figure 6 shows how the field wiring is terminated on the termination board
.
2.1.2.2 Mains Voltage Input
The 240V AC mains cable terminates at the mains isolating switch located on the
inside rear of the cabinet.
2.1.2.3 Battery Input
Leads for the connection of the lead acid battery are already connected to the
termination board. Ensure correct fitting of the battery, connect the Black lead to the
negative terminal and the Red lead to the positive terminal.
