Note: References are made throughout this 
document to “Fire Protection Output” and “Fire 
Output”. These refer to particular outputs from the 
T1200-C  panels  and  are provided for specific 
purposes: 
•  Fire Protection Output: An output used to 
activate ancillary fire protection equipment or 
systems. For example, fire doors or  plant 
shutdown. 
•  Fire Output: An output used to send a common 
fire warning signal to a remote fire monitoring 
station. 
References are also made to “Manual Fire Alarm” 
and “Muster”. These  relate to fire alarm sounder 
operating modes which are activated manually from 
the fire panel display. The panel is configurable to 
one or other of the two modes. 
Detailed descriptions of both outputs are provided 
within the following text. 
4. General Description 
The T1200-C Panel range is fully compliant with the 
mandatory requirements and selected optional 
requirements of EN54 parts 2 and 4 as well as the 
relevant requirements of SOLAS 74. 
The T1200-C
 
equipment range consists of the 
following: 
•  Panels: 4, 16 and 32 zone versions. 
•  Repeater: 16 and 32 zone versions. 
Each  panel in the range is housed in a metal 
enclosure incorporating a door-mounted display 
board fitted with a polyester overlay providing user 
controls and indications. All display text is printed 
on polyester inserts that slide into pockets in the 
overlay. User controls are locked & unlocked via a 
Keyswitch. All indications are implemented using 
LEDs. The power supply is housed within the panel 
enclosure and the standby batteries are housed in 
a separate battery box. 
Cable entry can be top or bottom. The T1204 has 
gland plates at the top & the bottom. The T1216-C 
& T1232-C  have only one gland plate but the 
enclosure can be inverted to allow cable entry top 
or bottom. Factory default is bottom cable entry for 
the T1216-C & T1232-C.
