4.2.1 C1626 4 Zone Motherboard 
This board is used on the T1204 panel. It provides 
terminals for all the field wiring, connectors for the 
repeater  interface  and connections to the display 
board. It accommodates the microcontroller 
(including Firmware and RAM) and all of the vessel-
specific configuration features (DIL switch & 
EEPROM). 
It is also used, in a depopulated form, as the 
motherboard for the T1216R-C  and T1232R-C 
repeater panels. 
Power supply components for the mains  powered 
4-zone  panels are located on this PCB. The 
components are depopulated for the DC powered 
panel and repeaters. 
4.2.2 C1627 16 Zone Motherboard 
This board is common to the T1216-C and T1232-C 
panels. 
It provides terminals for all the field wiring, interface 
connectors for the repeater, zonal expansion 
connectors and connections to the display board. It 
accommodates the microcontroller (including 
Firmware and RAM) and all of the vessel-specific 
configuration features (DIL switch & EEPROM). 
4.2.3 C1632 32 Zone Expansion Board 
This board provides an additional 16 detection 
zones, labelled as zones 17 to 32. It is connected to 
the C1627 motherboard via a ribbon cable to 
provide a total of 32 zones for the T1232-C panel. 
4.2.4 C1628 16-Zone Display Board and 
C1629 32-Zone Display Board 
These boards provide visible [LED] user indications 
and user control buttons. The display board 
connects to the motherboard via a ribbon cable. 
The C1628 is common to the T1204, T1216-C and 
T1216R-C  panels.  The C1629 is common to the 
T1232-C and T1232R-C. The Enable, Disable, Test 
Select  On/Off & Select Up/Down  buttons are not 
fitted on the repeater versions. A jumper link is 
provided on the internal face of the display boards 
[on the control panels only] to allow the Manual Fire 
Alarm button, located on the display, to operate in 
one of the following modes: 
•  Manual fire alarm Sounder response. 
•  Muster Sounder response. 
•  No response [button disabled]. 
4.2.5 Display Overlay and Inserts 
The display overlay is bonded  to the display PCB 
and is used with a series of text label inserts to 
identify the various user controls and indications. 
The inserts slip into pockets in the overlay and 
facilitate foreign language variants without affecting 
the overlay. The panel is provided with one set of 
Standard  English text inserts fitted. These inserts 
are reversible and the rear is blank to allow small 
volume language variants to be typed. Since one of 
the panel’s configurable options allows manual 
activation of the fire alarms in either the Manual 
Fire Alarm  or Muster mode, an additional English 
text insert is provided for the user controls section; 
one side identifies the top left hand button and LED 
as “Manual Fire Alarm” the other side identifies the 
button as “Muster”. 
4.2.6 C1631 Repeater Interface Board 
This  optional  plug-in board provides an RS485 
serial interface for communication with up to 5 
repeaters connected to a T1216-C  or T1232-C 
panel. It is fitted to the panel & repeater 
motherboards via two connectors. The panel does 
not have the C1631 board fitted as standard. Each 
repeater is supplied with a C1631  fitted  and a 
C1631 in the spares bag for fitting to the panel if 
required. 
Three  DIL switches  on the C1631 configure the 
panel with the number of repeaters connected.  At 
each repeater these DIL switches configure the 
address of the repeater. 
4.2.7 C1665 Muster Interface Board 
This optional plug-in board provides an additional 
fault monitored link between the fire alarm panel 
and the repeaters. It allows the muster alarm to be 
initiated  on the panel by operating the Muster 
button on a repeater. It is capable of operating the 
Muster  even if the microcontrollers have failed on 
the fire panel and repeaters. One C1665 needs to 
be fitted to the fire alarm panel and one to each 
repeater. If the muster alarm is to be initiated by the 
Manual Fire Alarm/Muster push button on the 
repeaters then the Muster Interface has to be fitted. 
There are no configuration requirements for this 
board.  This board is not required for Manual Fire 
Alarm [general alarm] operation. 
4.2.8 Output Expansion System 
The output expansion system is an expandable 
modular output system, for use local to the 
T1216-C  and T1232-C  panels. It  comprises  of an 
Output Interface Board and four  types of Output 
board that provide various output expansion 
options. 
General features: 
•  8 outputs per output board (except VDR output 
board). 
•  4 application types: 
o  Type 1 – Indication output module (C1633). 
o  Type 2 – Fire protection output module
