3.2.2 Ground Fault Detect enable

To meet UL 864 requirements, enable Ground Fault Detect.
A ground fault is a circuit impedance to ground sufficient to result in the annunciation of a
trouble condition.
The control panel has a ground fault detection circuit that when enabled, detects ground
faults on Terminals 1 to 9 and 11 to 30.
If a ground fault condition occurs, the keypads annunciate a ground fault and control panel
transmits a trouble message.
When the control panel recognizes that the ground fault condition is corrected, and remains
corrected for between 5 to 45 consecutive seconds, the control panel clears the fault from the
keypad display and sends a restoral report.
The control panel detects ground fault at ≤ 300 Ω.
Enabling Ground Fault Detect and reports
4 In RPS or in the Installer Services Portal programming tool (available in Europe, Middle
East, Africa, and China), set the following parameters:
– PANEL WIDE PARAMETERS > Miscellaneous > Ground Fault Detection. Set to Enable.
– PANEL WIDE PARAMETERS > Report Routing > Burglar Reports > Trouble Report. Set to
Yes.
– PANEL WIDE PARAMETERS > Report Routing > Burglar Reports > Burg Restore (After
Trouble). Set to Yes.
3.2.3 Ground fault detection troubleshooting

The control panel requires -2.1 V decay to 0.

4.1.3 Battery maintenance

Use 12 VDC sealed lead-acid rechargeable battery (7 Ah, 18 Ah, or 38 Ah). The control panel
supports up to 38 Ah of battery. If you use two batteries, they must have the same capacity,
and you use a D22/D122L to connect them.
Replace the batteries every 3 to 5 years. If you install two batteries, replace them both at the
same time.
Record the date of installation directly on the battery.
Caution!
Heavy discharges possible
! The system can have heavy discharges if you exceed the maximum output ratings or install
the transformer in an outlet that is routinely switched off. Routine heavy discharges can lead
to premature battery failure.
4.1.4 Battery supervision

Low battery
If the control panel is programmed for power supervision, it sends a Battery Low report in the
Conettix Modem4 format or a Low System Battery (302) report in the Conettix ANSI-SIA
Contact ID format.
Missing battery
If the control panel is programmed for power supervision, it sends a Battery Missing/Dead
report in the Conettix Modem4 format, or a Control Panel Battery Missing (311) report in the
Conettix ANSI-SIA Contact ID format.
Battery restoral
When AC returns and the battery is charged, If the control panel is programmed for power
supervision, it sends a Low System Battery Restore report in the Conettix Modem4 format or a
Control Panel Battery Restored to Normal (302) report in the Conettix ANSI-SIA Contact ID
format.

4.1.5 Battery charging circuit float charge

The float voltage for the battery charging circuit is 13.65 VDC when operating within load
range.
Load shed
Load shed relay protects battery: During an AC power loss, the battery supplies all power to
the security system. If the battery voltage falls below 10.0 V during an AC power loss, a load
shed relay disconnects the battery from the control panel and disables control panel. Load
shed protects the battery from being damaged by deep discharge.
When AC power restores, the load shed relay reconnects the charging circuit on control panel
to the battery and the battery begins to recharge.
Over load with AC present
If devices draw more than 1.6 A of auxiliary current from the control panel with AC applied,
the control panel indicates a Panel Over-current system trouble. Unless corrected, this
condition prevents the control panel from properly maintaining the battery charge level, and
leaves the system vulnerable to failing during power outages.
To correct the issue, remove all loads to the control panel and disconnect the battery and AC
power. Fix the condition creating the over current and reconnect AC power.
A shorted battery condition (created either by a shorted cell inside the battery or by a short
on Terminals 4 and 5), might prevent the control panel from operating, or might cause the
control panel to detect a missing battery condition.
Caution!
Shorting the battery terminals is dangerous.

4.2 B520 aux power supply

The optional B520 provides up to 2 A of 12 VDC standby power for Fire and Burglar
applications. For Burglar applications, an additional 2 A of alarm power is available, allowing 2
A of standby current and up to 4 A of alarm current.
The control panels support the following number of B520 modules:
– B9512G. 8
– B8512G. 4
The power supply draws approximately 15 mA (+/- 1 mA) from the control panel.
For additional information on supported peripherals, refer to the technical documentation of
these peripherals.

When using multiple NACs, the power for each D192G to support notification appliances must
have its own power limited and isolated power from a UL864 listed supply, such that one NAC
does not prevent another NAC from providing its alarm notification operation.
4.2.1 SDI2 address settings

Notice!
The module reads the address switch setting only during module power up. If you change the
setting after you apply power to the module, you must cycle the power to the module in order
for the new setting to take effect.
If multiple B520 modules reside on the same system, each B520 module must have a unique
address.
4.2.2 Supervision
The control panel supervises any B520 on the SDI2 bus.
With any failure to receive an expected response from a B520, all keypads show a system
fault. The control panel sends a module trouble report to the central station (if configured for
module trouble reports).
4.2.3 Auxiliary power supply trouble conditions

Each auxiliary power supply module on the SDI2 bus monitors several conditions including AC
status, battery status, over current status, and a tamper input. Each of these conditions
produces a unique system trouble condition at all keypads. The control panel sends a module
trouble report to the central station (if configured for module trouble reports).
4.2.4 Installation and control panel wiring (B520)

Calculate power consumption
Make sure that there is enough power for the module and the other powered devices that you
want to connect to the system.
Refer to On-board outputs, page 23.
Caution!
Remove all power (AC and battery) before making any connections. Failure to do so might
! result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.

continuous and programmable power outputs. Each breaker protects a separate terminal or
group of terminals:
– Terminal 3, auxiliary power
– Power terminals
– Terminal 6. Alarm power output
– Terminal 7. Alternate alarm power output
– Terminal 8. Switched auxiliary power
– Terminals 26 and 30, power +
– ZONEX connection
Notice!
A short circuit on one terminal disrupts power to the other two terminals.
Notice!
UL requirement

5.3 Continuous power outputs
3 26 30
The continuous current draw for powered devices connected to Terminals 3, 26, and 30, and
the ZONEX connector must not exceed 1.4 A. Devices powered from these outputs operate at
12.0 VDC Nominal.
Notice!
Power Restricted for Fire and Combined Fire and Burglary Systems
Use the Fire system power formula, page 25 to calculate the current available for fire and
combined fire and burglary systems
5.4 Programmable power outputs
6 7 8
The power outputs at Terminals 6, 7, and 8 are programmed as Outputs A (1), B (2), and C
(3).
Assign each output an output type (Steady Alarm Bell, for example), when assigning it to an
area. You can assign an output to one or more areas.
The defaults are:
– Output A (1) - Terminal 6 - as a Steady Alarm Bell output
– Output B (2) - Terminal 7 - as a Pulsed Fire Bell output
– Output C (3) - Terminal 8 - as a Verification or Reset output for smoke detectors
The Program Entry Guide contains complete instructions for programming outputs. Refer to
the Bell Parameters section of the program to set the Fire Bell, Alarm Bell output responses
for outputs. Four annunciation patterns are available: Steady, Pulsed, California Standard, and
Temporal Code 3.
If Terminals 6, 7, and 8 do not provide the expected output, check:
– The Outputs section of the program for Outputs A (1), B (2), and C (3).
– The Bell Parameters section of the program to confirm that the Alarm and Fire Bell
responses are programmed for the expected duration and pattern.
– The Point Assignments section to confirm that each point is programmed for the
expected local response.
5.4.1 Terminals 6 and 7
6 7
When activated, Terminals 6 (Output A) and 7 (Output B), provide a positive (+) 12.0 VDC
Nominal power output. Use the power at Terminals 6 and 7 to power bells, siren drivers,
piezoelectric sounders, electronic horns, or other devices.
Programming determines the format of the output and the conditions that activate it.

Control panels On-board outputs | en 25
When using Output A or Output B to activate notification appliance circuits in UL Listed fire
alarm applications, install a D192G.
Power restricted for Fire and Combined Fire and Burglary Systems
Fire systems are prohibited from using the battery for supplying alarm power. Use the fire
system power formula that follows to calculate the current available for fire and combined fire
and burglary systems.
Fire system power formula
Calculating the current available at Terminals 6 and 7 for fire and combined fire and burglary
systems:
1. Add together the current draws for all devices connected to Terminals 3, 26, and 30, and
the ZONEX connector. This is the total current required for the normal standby condition
(NSC).
2. The current available for NSC is 1.4 A. Subtract the NSC current required calculated in
Step 1 from the NSC current available, 1.4 A. The difference is the alarm current available
for Terminals 6 and 7.
In formula format: 1.4 A – NSC current required (Step 1) = Alarm current available
Refer to Approved applications for module or accessory current requirements
5.4.2 Terminal 8
8
Terminal 8 provides continuous positive (+) 12.0 VDC Nominal power. Output C interrupts the
power at Terminal 8 when activated. Use Terminal 8 to power smoke detectors or other
devices that reset by interrupting power.
Verify and reset Output C
The default program sets Output C (Terminal 8) as a verification and reset output. Refer to
Output Parameters and Point Assignments in the control panel Program Entry Guide for
instructions on programming verification and resetting outputs and points.
Performing a sensor reset at a keypad produces a five-second activation of verification and
reset outputs. The control panel ignores verification and resettable points during the five
seconds.
5.5 USB power
3
USB
In addition to connecting RPS or the Installer Services Portal programming tool (available in
Europe, Middle East, Africa, and China) to the control panel for programming, you can use the
USB port on the control panel to power USB-powered devices.
When enabled, the USB port provides 500 mA of 5 V power. The port draws the power from
the control panel. Make sure that there is enough power for all the powered devices you want
to connect to the system.
Enabling USB power:
4 Do one of the following:
Press the control panel RESET button 3 times.
Use the keypad Installer menu (refer to [7] USB Power).
The USB POWER STATUS LED lights when power to the USB is turned on.
You can disable USB at any time. Use the Installer menu or press the control panel RESET
button 3 times.

7.7.1 Ground Fault Detect enable

To meet UL 864 requirements, enable Ground Fault Detect.
A ground fault is a circuit impedance to ground sufficient to result in the annunciation of a
trouble condition.
The control panel has a ground fault detection circuit that when enabled, detects ground
faults on Terminals 1 to 9 and 11 to 30.
If a ground fault condition occurs, the keypads annunciate a ground fault and control panel
transmits a trouble message.
When the control panel recognizes that the ground fault condition is corrected, and remains
corrected for between 5 to 45 consecutive seconds, the control panel clears the fault from the
keypad display and sends a restoral report.
The control panel detects ground fault at ≤ 300 Ω.
Enabling Ground Fault Detect and reports
4 In RPS or in the Installer Services Portal programming tool (available in Europe, Middle
East, Africa, and China), set the following parameters:
– PANEL WIDE PARAMETERS > Miscellaneous > Ground Fault Detection. Set to Enable.
– PANEL WIDE PARAMETERS > Report Routing > Burglar Reports > Trouble Report. Set to
Yes.
– PANEL WIDE PARAMETERS > Report Routing > Burglar Reports > Burg Restore (After
Trouble). Set to Yes.
7.7.2 Ground fault detection troubleshooting

The control panel requires -2.1 V decay to 0.
Measuring and comparing voltage for ground fault detection
1. Set your digital voltmeter (DVM) to measure VDC.
2. Connect the red DVM lead to control panel Terminal 10, and the black DVM lead to
