Placing Into Operation
Page 9-2 29 July 2002 Issue 2.04
9.1 GENERAL
This chapter describes the procedure to place an F3200 FIP into operation. It assumes
that the mains and other field wiring has been connected, but that the battery has not.
Note that all electronic modules were tested and adjusted in the factory and should need
no further adjustment.
Before switching on power, inspect the cabinet and internals. Check that all equipment
is securely mounted, and that all cables are connected at the appropriate points. The
factory checklist is included.
The "MAINS ISOLATE SWITCH" is located at the top right hand side of the cabinet rear,
to the left of the mains transformer, behind the inner display door. This controls the
mains power to the FIP, charger and power supply, and should be left on once the FIP is
operational.
NOTE: The Battery is not disconnected by the "MAINS ISOLATE SWITCH".
9.2 POWER-UP
To place The F3200 FIP into operation, perform the following steps:
STEP 1 Ensure that the Mains Isolate Switch is OFF.
STEP 2 Ensure that 240 VAC is connected to the panel from the mains distribution
switchboard.
STEP 3 Turn the Mains Isolate Switch ON.
STEP 4 Check that the buzzer sounds and all LEDs on the Operator Display panel
flash for 2 seconds (except Mains On).
STEP 5 Check that the green "MAINS ON" LED indicator is on.
The Controller performs tests on its memory, electronics, and the LCD.
Refer to Section 6.6 for a list of faults that may occur.
STEP 6 Check that the LCD has good visibility. The LCD displays the FIP pcb
configuration before showing the Base Display.
STEP 7 De-isolate all normalised zones and perform a System Test. (This takes
almost one minute and includes a fault and alarm test of each zone).
STEP 8 Install and connect the batteries.
Take care not to short the battery leads when connecting.
STEP 9 Perform a Battery Test. If Battery Test fails check battery connections,
leave for 24 hours and retest.
STEP 10 Perform a Bells Test.
A full commissioning test should be performed as per AS1670.
