2.1 Control and Indication Equipment (CIE)
The BiWire Flexi Fire Panel is designed as an Analogue non-
addressable system. The panel enclosure is constructed
from PC ABS components.
The front cover is hinged at the bottom and is secured at the
top of the panel by two retaining screws. On the in-side of
the panel a sliding PCB tray makes it easy to remove the tray
without touching the PCB. The back box houses the PSE, the
stand-by batteries and has 29 x 20mm cable access points.
Terminal blocks are positioned to enable ease of connection.
The Fire Panel comes in 2, 4 & 8 Zone variants. Each of
these variants will operate in the same manner only with a
limited number of zones. Each zone can be independently
configured with a variety of compatible BiWire Ultra devices
or conventional devices (depending on the zone mode)
up to a maximum load of 200mA per zone. BiWire and
Conventional devices cannot be mixed together on a zone;
each zone must either have a full complement of BiWire
devices or conventional devices as per the zone mode
setting. A maximum of 32 inputs devices (detectors and/
or manual call points) and 20 output devices is possible as
one BiWire configuration example; a loading calculator is
available to assist with zone configuration.
The panel continuously monitors the state of each zone for
Fire and Fault conditions which are only indicated on the
affected zone. Once a Fire condition is detected on a zone
then the panel turns on the Fire indicators for the zone in
fire and triggers the fire alarm devices across all zones. All
remaining zones will continue to monitor for secondary fires
or fault conditions even though the sounders are operating.
The panel also continuously monitors the state of each
conventional sounder circuit and will report any fault
condition detected on the sounder fault LED.
The panel has multiple non-monitored outputs such as
Auxiliary Output, Fire Relay, Fault Relay, and an Interlink
Relay. These outputs are extended with the option board
that provides additional monitored FRE and FPE outputs,
and a non-monitored relay per zone circuit. The fire panel
also has a monitored input called Class Change. Further
information is contained within this guide.
