22. Panel specification summary
22.1. Recommended cables
All field wiring should be installed using fire rated cables such as FP200, MICC or Fire Tuff types. The minimum cross sectional area
should be 1mm although in the case of the detection loops this depends upon the length of the cable and the number and type of
devices fitted. Loop length calculators for various cable types are available for both Hochiki and Apollo protocol systems. Drain wires
of any field wiring should be maintained throughout the length of the cable and terminated at the panel via brass cable glands. Refer
to Section 4.1 for loop earth termination requirements.
22.2. Sounder Load
Panel Sounder - Two 24 volt sounder circuits, each fused with a 1.0A self-resetting electronic fuse. Each sounder circuit is
monitored using reverse polarity and a 10k ohm end of line resistor.
Loop sounders – each loop is capable of delivering up to 400mA for devices and loop sounders & beacons.
The total monitored output load (loop & panel sounders, & aux 24V output) must not exceed 2.5 Amps.
22.3. Current consumption
1 loop panel current consumption 130mA (power fault)
300mA in alarm (no alarm load)
2 loop panel current consumption
195mA (power fault)
370mA in alarm (no alarm load)
Modem current consumption 50mA
Network card current consumption 60mA
I/O board current consumption 20mA (quiescent), up to 1A in full alarm
8 way relay card current consumption 10mA (quiescent), 250mA in full alarm
6 way sounder card current consumption 30mA (quiescent), 260mA in full alarm + sounder load
4 way zone board current consumption 70mA (quiescent), 250mA in full alarm
22.4. Power supply –
Supply Voltage 230V AC nominal (+10% / 15%)
Supply rating 3 Amps.
Battery Charger Charges up to 9Ah sealed lead acid batteries with
temperature compensation over the range -5 to +50
degrees Celsius.
Battery Type Two 12V sealed lead acid 9Ah maximum
Output current split Battery 1 Amp max, load 2 Amps min.
Battery low indication 21V,
Earth fault indication < 30Kohms +28V or 0V to earth.
22.5. Field devices
Hochiki 127 devices per loop- ESP protocol
Apollo 126 devices per loop - S90, XP95, Xplorer and Discovery ranges.
Argus Vega 240 devices per loop.
Per 1 loop panel 127 Hochiki ESP devices, 126 Apollo devices, 240- Argus Vega devices.
Per 2 loop panel 254 Hochiki ESP devices, 252 Apollo devices, 480 Argus Vega devices.
Sub-address total 800 addresses and sub-address limit per panel.
22.6 Fire / Alarm / Fault Relay ratings (see also Section 13)
All panel relay contacts are rated at 30V DC and 1 Amp maximum.
Under no circumstances should voltages or currents outside of these limits be connected.
22.7 Zones
Some models have 16 zonal LED indicators fitted. Any device can be configured to any one of 500 zones available across all panels
on the network.
Care should be taken to ensure that no more than 32 devices will affected by a single short or break in any detection circuit.
22.8 Networking
Up 64 control panels can be connected together using an RS485 type cable with a maximum distance (without boosters) of 1.2Km
between alternate cable segments. An additional network PCB is required in each panel to achieve this.
Repeaters (full functional and display only) each take a single address from the 64 available network addresses.
Refer to Networking Manual MAN-1058 for more details.
