FP1500 Installation, Configuration and Commissioning Manual 4
1.2 Glossary of symbols
The symbols listed below appear throughout this manual to make it easier to understand
and as a reminder of important warnings and notes.
Ground connection: For your safety and protection of the system, it is
required to make this connection and ensure that is always correct.
Electronic equipment sensitive to electrostatic discharges: When
working with the electronic circuits, always wear an anti-static bracelet.
Potential electric discharge: Take precautions to avoid personal injury.
Lead batteries: There is risk of explosion in case of short-circuit and a risk
of corrosion in case of spillage.
Source of external electromagnetic radiation:
The analogue system's
functions can be interfered with by external radiation from motors, radio
antennas, etc. Protect the installation as required.
Warning: Pay attention whenever you see this symbol. It can prevent
damage and accidents.
1.3 The FP1500 analogue system
The FP1500 has been designed using leading edge technology to guarantee high
reliability and ease of use. Its loop structure enables the user to define and group each of
the connected elements into zones. This makes for easy expansion of the installation
without having to reconfigure the system.
Sensors and analogue input modules may be connected to the loop to collect information
and warn of any risk situation. In the event of an alarm, the panel activates the output
modules, sounders and relays. Each of the devices occupies a unique address and
therefore are easily identified and managed independently.
The maximum cable length is 2 km using a 1.5 mm² diameter cable to ensure proper
operation of the system.
A FP1500 fire panel may be configured through its keypad and LCD display, with a
detailed, easy-to-navigate menu or through an external PC. Additionally there is a
windows-based graphics application that runs on a PC for an enhanced visual control and
monitoring of the whole installation.
The main electronic board has, in addition to the loop outputs, two serial ports (RS232
and/or RS485), two monitored sounder outputs, two voltage-free contact relays and an
auxiliary 24 VDC output.
Any kind of peripheral may be connected to the RS232 port for short-distance
communications (less than 15 meters). A PC, a printer, a modem, a GSM modem or an
ethernet network connection module may be installed.
The RS485 port supports communications of up to a maximum distance of 1.2 km and
allows the interconnection of fire and repeater panels.
Aritech offers two versions of analogue addressable fire panels:
FP1500/1: supplied with one loop
FP1500/2: supplied with two loops
