Description of the Terminals
This section describes the Control panel terminals. n Main Board and Expander Board terminals [Z1]. [Z8] Supervised/Bypassable detection zones. Detection device terminals for Fire detectors, Call points, Gas detectors, etc. The Control panel will consider the zone: Open when the voltage is between 27.6 V and 26.31 V; In Standby when the voltage is between 26.31 V and 17.15 V; In Alarm when the voltage is between 17.15 V and 2.82 V; Shorted when the voltage is between 2.82 V and 0 V. If the Call point priority option has been enabled (refer to PROGRAMMING FROM A PC), the Control panel will distinguish between Alarms generated by Detectors and Alarms generated by Manual Call Point, as follows: Detector Alarm when the voltage is between 17.15 V and 13.15 V; Call point Alarm when the voltage is between 13.15 V and 2.82 V. The status thresholds can be programmed individually for each zone, in this way, it will be possible to compensate for voltage drops caused by the connections. Up to 30 devices can be connected to each zone. One 4-20 mA Gas detector can be connected to zone Z1 of the Main Board and the Expander Module, as described in the Connecting Gas Detectors paragraph.

Voltage on the zone terminal concerned drops below the Pre-Alarm threshold, that is, as long as the Alarm threshold value has not been exceeded in the meantime.
If the Non-Silenceable R Output option is DISABLED, it will be possible to Silence (force to standby) the Repeat Output of the zone concerned. Repeat Outputs will hold standby status for the programmed Silence Time. If Alarm conditions are present when the Silence Time expires, the Repeat Output will re-activate. Up to 0.1 A can circulate on each Repeat Output. R8 accept + Outputs R1, R2,.,ONLY. devices that operate within SELV limits

Figure 17 Wiring diagram of a Repeater connection n Connecting Signalling Devices NAC1, NAC2 and ALARM outputs are for the alarm signalling device connections. NAC1 and NAC2 can be set up to signal pre-alarm and alarm conditions (refer to Outputs under PROGRAMMING FROM A PC). The wiring diagram in Figure 18 shows two warning lamps and the flasher of an outdoor signalling device (STROBE terminals) connected to NAC2, and two fire bells and the horn of an outdoor signalling device (HORN terminals) connected to NAC1. This type of connection makes it possible to diversify pre-alarm from alarm signalling. For example, NAC2 will not activate during the pre-alarm phase, whereas, NAC1 will activate every 6 seconds for 2 seconds. NAC1 and NAC2 will always be active during alarm status. 1/4 W resistor (109) must + A 3900 ohm,the [+] and [] terminals of be connected between the last de-

n Connecting Extinguishment Modules The wiring diagram in Figure 19 shows an Extinguishment Module connected to the Control panel. The EM inputs (Manual Extinguishment) and IE inputs (Inhibit Extinguishment) accept Normally-Open control buttons with 680 ohm contact resistance. Wiring description: Connect a 3900 ohm, 1/4 W resistor (109) between terminal [NO] and terminal [C] of the last control button. The PS input accepts pressure switches with Normally-Open output and 680 ohm contact resistance. Wiring description: Connect a 680 ohm resistor (111) between one of the pressure switch terminals and the [+] terminal of the PS input. Connect (as near as possible to the last pressure switch connected to the PS input) a 3900 ohm, 1/4 W resistor (109) in parallel to the [+] and [] terminals of the PS input. Extinguishment Modules are unable to supply the high current draw required by Electrovalves, therefore, installation of an external Power Station is required. Wiring description: The Extinguishment Module is unable to supply the current draw of the PR and AE Outputs, therefore, it will be necessary to connect the 24P input to the Switching Power Supply of the Control panel, or to an external Power station. The PR output (Pre-Extinguishment) and AE output (Activated Extinguishment) accept signalling devices that operate at 24V. Wiring description: Connect (as near as possible to the last device connected to the output) a 3900 ohm, 1/4 W resistor (109) in parallel to the [+] and [] terminals of the output. Connect a 1N4007 diode or similar, between the positive inputs of the devices connected to the PR and AE, and the [+] terminals of the latter.

Reset Inhibit Time This is the amount of time that must elapse from the point at which the Extinguishment Module is enabled to the point at which the module may be reset. If the reset is performed during the Reset Inhibit Time, the Control panel will reset all systems (except for the activated Extinguishment Module) for a few seconds, after which it will return to an alarm condition. Accepted values: 0 to 30 minutes, steps of 1 minute. Default value: 0 minutes. n Zones This section will allow you to select the Zones which will activate the Extinguishment phase. n Manual Extinguishment Input This field will allow you to set up the Standby status of the Manual Extinguishment Input ([EM] terminals). Normally Closed If this option is DISABLED (at Default), there must be a 3900 ohm resistance across the [+] and [] terminals of the EM Input during Standby status. When this option is enabled, the resistor in standby must be 680 ohm. n Disable Extinguishment Input This field will allow you to set up the Standby status of the Disable Extinguishment Input ([IE] terminals). Normally Closed If this option is DISABLED (at Default), there must be a 3900 ohm resistance across the [+] and [] terminals of the IE input during Standby status. When this option is enabled, the resistor in standby must be 680 ohm. n Pressure Switch Input This field will allow you to set up the Standby status of the Pressure Switch Input ([PS] terminals). Normally Closed If this option is DISABLED (at Default), there must be a 3900 ohm resistance across the [+] and [] terminals of the PS input during Standby status. When this option is enabled, the resistor in standby must be 680 ohm.

For example, it may be useful to assign the name of the area where the device is located. The assigned label will identify the device in all the operations it is involved in.
n Thresholds This Control panel can detect whether its Zones are Shorted, Open or in Alarm status by measuring the voltage on the respective Zone terminals. The Thresholds are the voltage values that cause the Zones to switch from one status to another, as follows. Open/Standby The Control panel will consider the Zone in OPEN status when the voltage on its terminals exceeds the value programmed in this field. The Control panel will consider the Zone in STANDBY status when the voltage on its terminals ranges between value programmed in this field and the value programmed in the Standby/Auto.Alarm field. Standby/Auto.Alarm If the Call point Priority option has been ENABLED, the Control panel will consider the Zone ALARM status when the voltage on its terminals ranges between the value programmed in this field and the value programmed in the Auto.Alarm/Manual Alarm field. If the Call point Priority option has been DISABLED, the Control panel will consider the Zone ALARM status when the voltage on its terminals ranges between the value programmed in this field and the value programmed in the Manual Alarm/Short field. Auto.Alarm/Manual Alarm If the Call point Priority option has been ENABLED, the Control panel will consider the Zone in MANUAL ALARM status when the voltage on its terminals ranges between the value programmed in this field and the value programmed in the Manual Alarm/Short field. Manual Alarm/Short The Control panel will consider the Zone in MANUAL ALARM status when the voltage on its terminals is below the value programmed in this field. Changing the Default Thresholds: select the key button, then enter the new values (in accordance with the number and features of the zone connected devices).

Fault If you assign this event, the OC Output will activate when the system detects trouble, and will restore when the trouble clears. Reset If you assign this event, the OC Output will activate when the system generates Reset, and will remain active until Reset is completed. Disable If you assign this event, the OC Output will activate when Zones are Disabled, and will restore when the Zones are Re-Enabled. Test If you assign this event, the OC Output will activate when Zones are in Test status, and will restore when Test status ends. Double Knock If you assign this event, the OC Output will activate when TWO or more Zones generate Alarm, and will restore to standby when the Control panel Resets. one event, the OC Output will + If you assign more thanthe assigned events occurs, activate when one of and will Reset when ALL the assigned events end. n DL Output The Dialler Output ([DL] terminal) will activate when its programmed delay expires. The delay countdown will start when the Control panel generates Alarm status. a Call point (connec+ If the Alarm is triggered from point priority option ted to a Zone with the Call ENABLED), the DL Output will activate instantly. Alarm Signalling Delay This field will allow you to program the Dialler Output delay. Accepted values: 0 through 600 seconds (10 minutes), in steps of 10 seconds; Default setting: 60 seconds.

Table 4 (.continued) Terminals Description (4) The sum of the currents absorbed by terminals [Z1], [Z2],., [Z8], [24V], [24R], [NAC1] and [NAC2] must not exceed: 1.5 A for the J424 control panel; 1 A for the J408 control panel. (5) The terminals [Z1], [Z2],., [Z8] and [DL], if not used, must be connected to negative using a 3900 ohm resistor. (6) Connect a 3900 ohm resistor between the [+] and [-] terminals of the NAC1 and NAC2 Outputs, if not used.

Trouble This Control panel can detect and signal the following Trouble: Input zone shorted or open; Supervised zone shorted or open; Control panel blocked; Output 24V or 24R shorted; Low battery, battery trouble or disconnected battery; Ground fault; Communication trouble with peripherals; Mains failure. Fault conditions will be signalled by: a slow intermittent beep (at 1 second intervals); glowing on the Fault LED; fast blinking on the LED of the component concerned (the Logic Unit LED will glow to signal Control panel blocked); activation of the Fault output (TROUBLE terminals); Negative pull-down to 0 V on OC terminal, that is, if it is programmed to signal Fault. The Fault output (TROUBLE terminals) and OC outputs (if duly programmed) will restore to standby automatically when fault conditions clear. Under certain circumstances, fault conditions may clear spontaneously, if this occurs, the event will be stored in the memory until the Control panel Resets. Stored Fault events will be signalled by: slow blinking on the LEDs of the component concerned. Silence This Control panel provides a Silence key which can be used to restore the Silenceable outputs to standby status: R1, R2,., R8 NAC1 and NAC2 ALARM TROUBLE Silence status will be signalled by: an audible signal (lasting 1 second) followed by a long pause (lasting 5 seconds); glowing on the Silence LED.
n Interface Visual Signalling The system status will be signalled on the Control panel LEDs as follows: GREEN indicates normal operating conditions; AMBER indicates specific operating modes (for example Day or Night mode), and/or Fault conditions; RED indicates Alarm conditions. Memory The Control panel will signal Alarm/Fault events until the system Resets, even if the event clears in the meantime. Stored events will be signalled by: slow blinking on the LED concerned. Display The J424 Control panel can house the J400-LCD Module. This module provides written information regarding the system status, and the cause of faults on inputs and outputs (short-circuit, interruption etc.).
Audible Signalling The Buzzer will signal the Control panel status as follows: Status Sound Pause Description Pre-alarm 0.5 s 0.5 s Intermittent beep Alarm 0.2 s 0.2 s Fast Intermittent beep Fault 1s 1s Slow Intermittent beep Long beep/Long pause Silence 1s 5s Reset Test 0.5 s 1s 0.1 s 3s Short beep/Short pause Long beep/Long pause

n Main Board Terminals [24V] [M] Auxiliary Power Supply Power supply for devices that function at 24 V, protected by a resettable fuse, has battery backup. Operating principles Positive pull-up to 27.6 V on the [24V] terminal; Negative pull-down to 0 V on the [M] terminal. If the current draw on the [24V] terminal exceeds 1 A, the system will interrupt the power supply to the terminal and signal Fault on the 24V/24R LED (fast blinking). The system will restore power to the terminal when the current draws drops below 1 A. [24R] [M] Resettable Auxiliary Power Supply Resettable Power supply for devices that function at 24 V, protected by a resettable fuse, has battery backup. Operating principles Positive pull-up to 27.6 V on the [24R] terminal; Negative pull-down to 0 V on the [M] terminal. If the current draw on the [24R] terminal exceeds 1 A, the system will interrupt power to the terminal, and will signal Fault on the 24V/24R LED (fast blinking). The system will restore power to the terminal when the current draws drops below 1 A. The system will interrupt power from terminal [24R] during Reset, therefore, this power source can be used to power devices that reset when the power supply is interrupted. OC Programmable Auxiliary Output This Output can be programmed to signal one or more of the following events: Alarm Pre-alarm Fault Reset Disable Test Double Knock

n Connecting Gas Detectors This Control panel accepts Gas detectors with Normally Open Outputs (NO) and 4-20 mA gas detectors. NO Output Connect Gas detectors with Normally Open Outputs (NO) as per Figure 16a. Operating principles: Terminal [A] (the Detector Alarm Output) will connect to terminal [] when the concentration of gas in the area exceeds the preset safety threshold. Wiring description: Using a 680 ohm resistor (111), connect terminal [A] to the zone terminal. Connect terminal [+] (the Detector Power input) to a power source that can be interrupted for the required reset time (see terminal [24R] on the Main Board). Terminal [P] (the Detector Pre-Alarm Output) is not shown in the wiring diagram. The Repeat Output of the zone can be set up to interrupt the gas flow in the event of an alarm (wiring as per Figure 16a see terminal [R4]). If zone Z4 generates an alarm (or pre-alarm when the Pre-Alarm on R Output option is ENABLED), terminal [R4] will pull down to 0 V (negative) thus activating the relay which in turn will latch the Switching Power supply to the Electrovalve. current draw provi+ The by an externalof Electrovalves must bePower ded power source (e.g. BXM Station).

4 - 20 mA Gas detectors 4 - 20 mA Gas detectors can be connected to terminals [Z1] ONLY on the Main Board and Expander Module, as per Figure 16b. Operating principles The current draw of terminal [S] varies from 4 to 20 mA in accordance with the concentration of gas present in the area. Wiring description The [] terminal is the negative power terminal. Connect a 470 ohm, 2 W (113) between terminal [S] and terminal [] of the detector. Connect [+] terminal (positive power input) to a power source that can be interrupted for the required reset time (see terminal [24R] on the Main Board).
n Connecting Signalling Devices NAC1, NAC2 and ALARM outputs are for the alarm signalling device connections. NAC1 and NAC2 can be set up to signal pre-alarm and alarm conditions (refer to Outputs under PROGRAMMING FROM A PC). The wiring diagram in Figure 18 shows two warning lamps and the flasher of an outdoor signalling device (STROBE terminals) connected to NAC2, and two fire bells and the horn of an outdoor signalling device (HORN terminals) connected to NAC1. This type of connection makes it possible to diversify pre-alarm from alarm signalling. For example, NAC2 will not activate during the pre-alarm phase, whereas, NAC1 will activate every 6 seconds for 2 seconds. NAC1 and NAC2 will always be active during alarm status. 1/4 W resistor (109) must + A 3900 ohm, the [+] and [] terminals of be connected between the last de-

The wiring diagram in Figure 19 shows an Extinguishment Module connected to the Control panel. The EM inputs (Manual Extinguishment) and IE inputs (Inhibit Extinguishment) accept Normally-Open control buttons with 680 ohm contact resistance. Wiring description: Connect a 3900 ohm, 1/4 W resistor (109) between terminal [NO] and terminal [C] of the last control button. The PS input accepts pressure switches with Normally-Open output and 680 ohm contact resistance. Wiring description: Connect a 680 ohm resistor (111) between one of the pressure switch terminals and the [+] terminal of the PS input. Connect (as near as possible to the last pressure switch connected to the PS input) a 3900 ohm, 1/4 W resistor (109) in parallel to the [+] and [] terminals of the PS input. Extinguishment Modules are unable to supply the high current draw required by Electrovalves, therefore, installation of an external Power Station is required. Wiring description: The Extinguishment Module is unable to supply the current draw of the PR and AE Outputs, therefore, it will be necessary to connect the 24P input to the Switching Power Supply of the Control panel, or to an external Power station. The PR output (Pre-Extinguishment) and AE output (Activated Extinguishment) accept signalling devices that operate at 24V. Wiring description: Connect (as near as possible to the last device connected to the output) a 3900 ohm, 1/4 W resistor (109) in parallel to the [+] and [] terminals of the output. Connect a 1N4007 diode or similar, between the positive inputs of the devices connected to the PR and AE, and the [+] terminals of the latter.

Outputs

The Outputs page controls the pulse pattern for Pre-Alarm (Alert) and/or Alarm (Evacuate) signalling on the NAC1 and NAC2 outputs, and Alarm (Evacuate) signalling on the ALARM output. The pattern is represented by a series of bells, each bell representing a second. The configuration of the RED and WHITE backgrounds (for On and Off respectively e.g. all RED indicates continuously On) determines the respective pulse pattern. For example, the output devices (connected to NAC1and NAC2) can be configured to have one audible output for Pre-Alarm (Alert) and a different audible output for Alarm (Evacuate), thus allowing users to distinguish between the two conditions, as follows. n NAC1 Output Pre-Alarm pattern The bell chart will allow you to program the Pre-Alarm (Alert) pattern of NAC1. Bell on RED background = Output ON for 1 second; Crossed Bell on WHITE background = Output OFF for 1 second. Pre-Alarm Default setting: NAC1 will turn ON for 2 seconds then turn OFF for 6 seconds. Alarm pattern To be set up in the same way as the Pre-Alarm pattern of NAC1 but for the Alarm pattern. Default setting: NAC1 is continuous. n NAC2 Output Pre-Alarm pattern To be set up in the same way as the Pre-Alarm pattern of NAC1 but for the Pre-Alarm pattern of NAC2. Pre-Alarm Default setting: NAC2 WILL NOT ACTIVATE during the Pre-Alarm Time. Alarm pattern To be set up in the same way as the Alarm pattern of NAC1 but for the Alarm pattern of NAC2. Default setting: NAC2 is continuous. n ALARM Output Alarm Pattern To be set up in the same way as NAC1 but for the Alarm pattern of the ALARM Output. Default setting: the Alarm Output is continuous. NON-Silenceable If this option is ENABLED, the ALARM Output cannot be SILENCED.
The Gas Detector option can be ENABLED ONLY for Zones 1, 9 and 17, respectively, the [Z1] terminals on the Main Board, and on Expander nr. 1 and Expander nr. 2.
n Times Pre-Alarm Time This field will allow you to program the delay between the Zone Alarm and the Control panel Alarm. seconds of + If several Zones trigger Alarms withingenerate an one another, the Control panel will
Alarm when the shortest Pre-Alarm Time of all the Zones concerned expires.
Accepted values: 0 to 300 seconds (5 minutes), in steps of 10 seconds. Default setting: 60 seconds. Investigation Time This field wilI allow you to program an interval that will override the Pre-Alarm Time. This interval will allow users time to investigate fire alerts. It will be applied when the Ack/Evac. key is pressed for less than 5 seconds at Access Level 2 (Keyswitch ENABLED or PIN Code entered). Accepted values: 0 to 300 seconds (5 minutes), in steps of 10 seconds Default value: 60 seconds.
n OC Output Events This section will allow you to assign one or more of the following events to the OC Output ([OC] terminal), as follows. Alarm If you assign this event, the OC Output will activate when the Control panel generates an Alarm, and will restore to standby when the Control panel Resets. Pre-Alarm If you assign this event, the OC Output will activate when the Control panel generates Pre-Alarm, and will restore to standby when the Control panel generates an Alarm. Fault If you assign this event, the OC Output will activate when the system detects trouble, and will restore when the trouble clears. Reset If you assign this event, the OC Output will activate when the system generates Reset, and will remain active until Reset is completed. Disable If you assign this event, the OC Output will activate when Zones are Disabled, and will restore when the Zones are Re-Enabled. Test If you assign this event, the OC Output will activate when Zones are in Test status, and will restore when Test status ends. Double Knock If you assign this event, the OC Output will activate when TWO or more Zones generate Alarm, and will restore to standby when the Control panel Resets. more than + If you assignwhen one ofone event, the OC Output will activate the assigned events oc-

Day to Night Mode This field will allow you to program when the Control panel must change from Day to Night Mode. This setting requires two digits for the Hour value and two for the Minutes value. Use 00 to 23 (00 = Midnight) to set the Hour value. Use 00 to 59 to set the Minutes value. n Reset The Control panel Reset operation is divided into two phases: Reset and Stabilization. During the Reset phase, the Control panel will interrupt the power supply to the devices connected to the Zones and the [24R] terminal. During the Stabilization phase, the Control panel will ignore the status of the Zones. This process is necessary, as some devices signal trouble conditions for several seconds after power-up. The Reset section will allow you to program the Detector Reset and Stabilization Times. Detector Reset Time This field will allow you to program the length of the power interruption that will reset the Detectors. Accepted values: 0 through 15 seconds, in steps of 1 second. Default setting: 8 seconds. Detector Stabilization Time This field will allow you to program the length of time (necessary after Reset) that the system will ignore the Zone Status. Accepted values: 0 through 5 seconds, in steps of 1 second. Default setting: 2 seconds. n User Code The 4-digit User Code will allow access to Level 2 of the Control panel.
