Indication LED description
The schematic shows the control keyboard and the
indication plate of a 6 zone BS-1636 panel. Starting from
the top left side we can see 4 indicators marked 'General'.

The 'Disable' LED lights in every DISABLE condition.

The 'Test' LED lights in every TEST condition .The panel

does not have a test condition as specified in paragraph 11
of EN 54-2.

The 'Fault' LED lights in every FAULT condition. Blinks

when we have a FAULT condition and the buzzer is
silenced.
The 'Alarm' LED lights when we have an ALARM condition. Blinks when we have an ALARM condition and the buzzer is
silenced.

Below is the indicator “POWER” which is on when the panel is working and blinks when there is mains supply failure.
On the right of the “POWER” indicator is the “Delays ON” indicator which shows if the delays of the output are enabled
or disabled.

Below the `General` indicator group we can find the indication group called `Fault`. The 'Battery ' LED and 'Mains' LED
in combination, show us faults concerning the power supply. These combinations are shown in the panel below.

MAINS Fault Lights Lights Lights Blinks Blinks ----

BATTERY Fault ---- Lights Blinks Lights Blinks Lights

The 'System LED lights to indicate a problem with the main processor unit (System fault).

The LEDs marked 'Siren1' and 'Siren2' correspond to the siren outputs. If a siren out has a short circuit or open circuit then
the corresponding LED will blink. If a siren is disabled the corresponding LED will light.

The next group of indicators is the 'Alarm' indication LEDs.

These indicators light when a corresponding zone issues an ALARM condition. Next to this group we have the
'Fault/Disable' indication for each zone. When the panel monitors an open or short circuit condition in a zone then the
corresponding LED will blink. If a zone is disabled the corresponding LED will light.

Control keyboard description/operation

The panel is controlled/ operated using the six numeric keys (1 to 6) found on the front panel. When a key is pressed a short
tone is issued.
The panel has three access levels.

Access level 1:
has all the functions that can be done directly from the user without using a code. These operations are:

Buzzer silence / Buzzer reactivation: If an alarm of fault condition is issued then the internal buzzer will sound. Pressing
the key "1" will silence the buzzer. ( The buzzer sounds periodically once every minute.) Pressing this key again will reactive
the buzzer.
Lamp test: Pressing the key "2" a lamp test is conducted by lighting the LEDs. The panel then returns to normal operation.
The above tests can be conducted only if the panel is in quiescent state (No fault or alarm conditions).

Override Delays: If an alarm occurs and the delays are active the user can overrride the delays by pressing the key “4" .
The output will be immediately activated.

Access level 2:
Includes all the functions that the user can do and an access code is required. The code is "34”, it is the same for all
panels and can not be changed. The functions that can be implemented using this code are the following:

Evacuate: Gives evacuate signal to the panel.

The user must enter the user code ( 34) and then the keys '4' and '4'. Then the panel will go to alarm state. The sirens will
sound and the internal buzzer also.

Siren Silence: When an alarm is issued and we want to silence the sirens then we must enter the user code
( 34 ) and then the keys '5' and '5'. The sirens are silenced but the internal buzzer continues to sound. The panel remains
in normal operation. A new alarm from another zone will resound the sirens. To resound the sirens press again the same
code.

Panel Reset: When an alarm or fault condition has occurred and we want to reset the panel we must enter the user code
(34) and then the keys '5' and '6’. The panel lights all LEDs in sequence and then enters normal operation.

Zone enable/disable: If we want to disable the operation of specific zones then we must enter the user code
( 34 ) and then the keys number '5' and '4'. The LED marked 'General disable' start to blink, and if a zone is disabled the
corresponding 'Fault' LED lights to indicate this. Using the keys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 we can enable or disable the respective
zones. The disabled zones light the corresponding LED. The panel exits this mode if no key is pressed for more than 30
seconds. The panel then conducts an automatic RESET and enters normal operation mode. Disabled zones does not
give alarm or fault condition. If we have disabled zones then this is indicated with the indicators 'General disable' and the
corresponding Disable LED zone and the buzzer sounds once every minute.

Siren enable/disable: If we want to disable the operation of specific sirens we must enter the code (34) and then the
keys '6' and ‘6’. The LED marked 'General Test' start to blink, and if a siren is disabled Siren1 LED lights for siren 1 and
Siren2 LED lights for the siren 2. Using the keys 1 and 2 we can enable or disable the respective sirens. The disabled
sirens have a LED lighted. The panel exits this mode if no key is pressed for more than 30 seconds. The panel then
conducts an automatic RESET and enters normal operation mode. All disabled sirens are supplied with the proper
voltage but the panel can not enable them or read their condition. If we have disabled sirens then this is indicated with the
indicator 'General disable' and the buzzer sounds once every minute.

Delays ON/OFF: If we want to disable the delays of the outputs. We must enter the code (34) and then the keys '6' and
‘4’. Then the delays will be disable, the LED marked “Delays ON” will turn off. To enable the delays we must press again
the code.

Access level 3:
These functions are implemented during the installation and need the technical code to be accessed. The technical code is
"364", it is the same for all panels and can not be changed. These functions can be implemented using the technical code
are activation methods used for the relays and can be done only if the panel has not issued an alarm or fault condition.
These functions are ancillary and not required by the EN 54-2.These methods of programming are:

AUX RELAY programming: If we want to program the operation behaviour of the AUX RELAY we must enter the technical
code ( 364 ) and then press the key '5'. The 'General fault' and 'General alarm' LEDs start to blink. The Alarm zone LEDs
and the fault LED zone show the way the AUX RELAY . If the Alarm led of the zone is on then we have logic AND for the aux
relay activation. If the fault led of the zone is on then we have logic OR for the aux activation.
For example if Alarm Zone 1 and 2 is on and Fault Zone 3 and 4 is on, then the relay will be activated when Z1 and Z2 is in
alarm condition or Z3 or Z4 are in alarm condition
To change the state of each zone, press the corresponding number each time.
In order to exit this programming mode and to store the settings in memory do not press any key for more than 30 seconds.
This system will conduct an automatic RESET and will enter normal operation mode.

 Connections
The three panels of the family have the same connections. The main differences in these panels is the number of the
available zones and the number of the relays zones. The common outputs, the maximum consumption and the
operation procedures are identical for all the panels.

Connecting detectors and break-glass call points to zones.

By default each zone terminal block has a preinstalled terminal resistor (8Κ2). This resistor must be removed and
installed on the last device of the zone or is left connected on the zone terminals if the zone is not used. The connections
to all the zones are identical. What is shown in figures 2, 3 and 4 for zone 1 is valid for all the zones.
The total number of connected devices per zone is 20.
All cable zones must be insulated, to earth ground, to meet EMC requirements.
The cable length for each zone must not exceed the 1.5 kilometres with a cross section cable of 1.5mm².

 Siren - Sounder Connections
Each panel offers 2 independent circuits for connecting sirens, bells or other devices that need 24VDC in order
to operate. Each circuit can supply a maximum of 300mA. Each terminal block by default has a pre-installed
terminal resistor (8Κ2). This terminal resistor is either removed and installed on the last siren of the line or is
left on the terminal block if the circuit is not used.
The connections of both circuits are identical.

Besides the terminals that were described up to now the panel also has the following outputs :
24V_M: A 24VDC output that is interrupted in the event of a panel reset. It is mainly used for powering gas
detectors or other devices that need an interrupted power supply when the panel is resetting. If this output
is short circuited then the LED marked 'General fault' is lighted.
24V_P: A 24VDC power output that is not interrupted in the event of a reset. It can be used to power
electromagnetic door latches.

Relay Alarm : Voltage free relay contacts are activated when there is an alarm condition.

Relay Fault : Voltage free relay contacts are deactivated when there is an fault condition.

Relay AUX : Voltage free relay contacts that by default when one zone is in alarm condition.

ATTENTION: The relays are rated at 30VDC and 5A maximum. No 230VAC signals can be connected
to these relays.

Warnings .
1. Service and maintence activities should be done only when the device is disconneted from the
mains power supply and the battery.
2. During the installation the connections to the mains power supply and the battery must be
done after all other connections are finished.
3. The panel connection with the mains supply must be done via a10A external fuse or an
automatic circuit breaker rated at 10A.This fuse has to be a separate, labeled fuse.
4. Always use cables with double insulation.
5. The diameter of the cable must be at least 1mm.(Figure 9)

Initial Installation
When the connections to zones, sirens and other required outputs are finished then we must connect the mains
power supply. In order to aid the installer during the initial installation, the panel offers a special configuration. This
configuration is entered by setting MODE switch 1 to the ON position. After entering this mode the panel conducts
an auto reset and the 'Power', 'Zone disable' and 'General disable' LEDs blink. The special functions that aid in
working out various problems that might arise are:
When a zone has an open circuit then the internal buzzer sounds and the corresponding LED lights. If the
problem is corrected then the buzzer is deactivated and the LED is turned off.
When a zone has a short circuit then the internal buzzer sounds and the corresponding LED blinks. If the problem
is corrected then the buzzer is deactivated and the LED is turned off.
When a siren output has an open circuit then the internal buzzer is activated and the corresponding fault LED
lights. If the problem is corrected then the buzzer is deactivated and the LED is turned off.
When a siren output has a short circuit then the internal buzzer sounds and the corresponding LED blinks. If the
problem is corrected then the buzzer is deactivated and the LED is turned off.
When a battery fault exists then the 'Batt fault' LED lights and the 'Power fault' LED blinks. If the problem is
corrected then the LEDs are deactivated.
If all the problems are corrected and the installation is operating normally then the MODE switch 1 must be placed in
the OFF position. The panel conducts an auto-reset and is ready for operation.
Walk - Testing
By using a special operation mode we can conduct a walk test of the system. To enter walk-test mode set the MODE switch 1
to the ON position. The 'Power', 'Zone disable' and 'General disable' LEDs blink. If an alarm is manually given by either
activating a BS-536 call point or by activating a smoke detector with smoke or simulated smoke particles the corresponding
Alarm LED of the zone will light and the siren will sound for 2 seconds. Using this method we can test the operation of the
zones.
After finishing the walk test set the MODE switch 1 to the OFF position. The panel conducts an automatic reset and enters
normal operation mode.
Optional Function of EN 54-2.
The optional function which is provided by the panel is the fire alarm devices paragraph 7.8 of EN 54-2 and delays to
outputs (paragraph 7.11 of EN 54-2).
Design
Components of the panels have been selected for the intended purpose, and are expected to operate within their
specification when the environmental conditions outside the cabinet of the panel comply with class 3k5 of
EN 60721-3-3:1995.
