OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FP1600 / OMEGA 64 is a 16 zone self-contained conventional fire alarm system expandable in multiples
of 16 zones to maximum of 96 zones. It has been designed specifically to meet NZS 4512:1997, the
New Zealand Building Code (Section F7), and the NZ Fire Service requirements for connection to remote
receiving stations.
Special features are: * Flexible programming facilities * Six zone circuit types
* Keypad circuit isolation * Automated Self-Test
* Serial Remote Displays (up to 8) * History log
Detector Compatibility – Refer to listings published elsewhere for detector compatibility.
Zone Circuits - The zone input circuits can be configured individually as one of the following types:
(All circuit types use a 2k70, 1% End of Line Resistor.)
Flowswitch - Open circuit is instant alarm. Short circuit is defect.
Default configuration: Non-Brigade signalling and Non-Bell ringing.
A globally programmable delay (0/5/10/15/20/25 seconds, default 5 seconds) applies before going into
alarm - the circuit must be continuously in alarm for the full period of the delay. A fixed delay of 5 seconds
continuously in normal applies before going out of alarm. This circuit type is non-latching.
Thermal - Open circuit is instant alarm. Short circuit is defect.
Default configuration: Latching, Brigade signalling, and Bell Ringing.
Evacuation Control - Supervised connection to a sprinkler DBA “Bell” output. (available on Master board
zone circuits 1-16 only). Short circuit is instant alarm. Open circuit is defect.
Default configuration is Non-Latching, Non-Brigade signalling, and Bell ringing.
An Evacuation circuit selected for bell ringing is unaffected by either of the Silence Alarms switches -
the alarm must be silenced at the source.
Combined - Allows connection of conventional 2-wire smoke detectors and clean contact devices.
Open circuit is instant alarm. Short circuit is defect.
Default configuration: Latching, Brigade signalling, Bell ringing, and smoke detector AVF enabled.
Smoke - Allows connection of conventional 2-wire smoke detectors and clean contact devices.
Open circuit is defect. Short circuit is an instant alarm if using programmable “MCP” facility.
(N/C contacts require PA0443 Contact conversion module).
Default configuration: Latching, Brigade signalling, Bell ringing, smoke detector AVF enabled, and “MCP”
option disabled.
Disabled - Shuts the circuits down to save current. Fitting an EOL resistor is optional on Disabled circuits.
