2.2 F3200 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
2.2.1 GENERAL
The F3200 is a self-contained, modular, intelligent Fire Indicator Panel (FIP) which
performs the functions of the Control and Indicating Equipment (CIE) as specified by the
Australian Standard AS1603.4 Automatic Fire Detection and Alarm Systems.
It has a high degree of flexibility and expendability, catering for medium to very large
buildings. A single panel may have up to 64 zones and a network system may have up
to 64 panels.
2.2.2 DETECTOR CIRCUITS
The F3200 detector circuit electronics caters for a wide range of detectors, including
various types which have high alarm current requirements. It also caters for interfacing
to:
Intrinsically safe circuit barriers/isolators (hazardous areas).
Long line circuits e.g. from a sub-indicator FIP.
Tamper-proof circuit e.g. for water valve supervision.
A full range of compatible detectors is listed in Appendix A.
2.2.3 DISPLAYS
The primary display of the F3200 is a 2 line by 40 character LCD on which the status
messages and prompts are shown. The LCD has backlight illumination which is turned
on when there is an alarm or operator interaction. Refer Fig 2.2.1.
Common system conditions such as BELLS ISOLATED are displayed on 8 LEDs
adjacent to the LCD.
The display panel composed of the LCD, LEDs and operator keypad is called the
Operator Display panel. The portion of the display panel within the red border is called
the FFCIF display. This meets the requirements of AS4050 (int) for a Fire Fighter's
Control and Indicating Facility (FFCIF). It includes the common status LEDs for ALARM,
ISOLATED and FAULT.
As an optional extra, individual zone status (ALARM, ISOLATE and FAULT) can be
displayed on LEDs by fitting the appropriate number of 16 Zone LED Display boards.
The F3200 electronics includes, as standard, an open collector transistor output for each
zone which can be used to drive an internal or remote mimic display.
An NDU in New Zealand mode may have an additional 3 system status indicators on the
NZ Display Extender board: Fire, Defect, Normal.
