1.0 Introduction
The Protec 6100 Fire Alarm Control Panel has been designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom and
complies fully with current standards dictating fire alarm system design practice ( EN54 parts 2 and 4 ).
The 6100 is a 32 zone single loop fire alarm control panel that uses digital addressable technology to
communicate with Protec 6000PLUS series loop devices ( automatic detectors, Manual Call Points, sounders,
interfaces etc. ).
As the integrity and reliability of a fire alarm system is vital, the 6100 continuously monitors all critical paths for
faults. The fire detection / alarm loop devices and wiring are constantly monitored to check for faults. The
integrated power supply regularly performs self checks to ensure it is in full working order and that the
stand-by batteries are in a good state.
Any faults detected are reported on the front panel display of the 6100, a fault output is also provided which
may be connected to external systems ( a remote monitoring centre, for example ) to signal that the 6100 has
a fault and attention is required.
Please be aware that the 6100 is supplied to various countries, the particular panel variant typically having
slight operational differences dependent on the target market.
There are no user serviceable parts inside the 6100. A competent person trained to undertake
such work MUST carry out any internal maintenance work. A separate installation and
commissioning manual is available.
This equipment has been manufactured in conformance with the requirements of all
applicable EU council directives and regulations.
Electrical or electronic devices that are no longer serviceable must be collected separately and
sent for environmentally compatible recycling (in accordance with the European Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment Directive). To dispose of old electrical or electronic devices, you
should use the return and collection systems put in place in the country concerned.
The policy of Protec Fire Detection plc is one of continuous improvement. As such we reserve the right to
make changes to product specifications at any time and without prior notice. Errors and omissions excepted.
