EN 54 & ISO 7240 2-8 Zone Conventional Fire Panel - Installation & Configuration Manual
1 Introduction
1.1 Manual Purpose
The purpose of this manual is to provide the user with all
recommended procedures and full technical details for the
successful installation, commissioning and configuration
of the EN 54 (and ISO 7240) 2-8 Zone Conventional Fire
Control Panel.
The descriptions and procedures apply to the NFS 2-8
and FLS 2-8 fire control panels.
Procedures described in this manual include appropriate
warnings and cautions to guide the user towards adopting
safe and methodical work practices during the installation,
commissioning and configuration phases.
Important Note
This manual must be read, and its contents clearly understood,
before proceeding with any work relating to the control panel.
Damage to the control panel may result from NOT following
the recommended procedures described in this manual.
If there are any areas of doubt, consult your supplier before
continuing with the system installation, commissioning and
configuration.
1.2 System Design and Planning
It is assumed that the system, of which this control panel is a
part, has been designed by a competent fire alarm system
designer in accordance with the requirements of EN 54 Part
14 and any other local codes of practice, such as BS5839-1,
that are applicable. The design drawings should clearly show
the positions of the field devices and the control equipment.
1.2.1 Personnel
Installation of this product must be carried out only by
suitably-qualified electrical engineers.
1.3 General
The control panels are factory-configured either as 2, 4 or 8
zones. The panel has been tested and manufacturer-
approved for use with the following devices:
Apollo: Series 60 Wide Voltage, Series 65 & Orbis.
System Sensor: ECO1000, PhD/Series 800 & Vision.
The panel is self-contained with integral power supply and
space provision for two sealed, lead-acid standby batteries
and complies with the requirements of EN 54 Parts 2 and 4.
The panel functions are microprocessor controlled and test
and disable functions are included. Provision is made for
activating up to a maximum of four (with 2-way Relay PCB
fitted) sounder outputs and day/night mode working.
Provision is also made for up to 2 optional 8-way Relay or 4-
way Sounder PCBs which can provide a further 4, 8, 12 or
16 configurable outputs.
The panel can accept an unlimited number of manual call
points and a limited number of automatic detectors per zone.
Refer to Section 8 Specification for zone current limits.

2 Installation Guide
2.1 How to Use this Guide
This Installation Guide provides you with simple
guidelines to install a fire control panel system, quickly
and safely. The guide does not describe panel
configuration procedures as it is covered by the relevant
section of this manual.
For each stage in the panel installation and
commissioning procedures a brief description is given
of its purpose, complete with detail drawings, flow
diagrams and/or other graphics, wherever possible, to
make the instructions easy to follow.
2.2 Pre-installation Check List
Before installing your control panel or fitting detectors,
you must first ensure that the following criteria have been
met. Failure to do this may not only result in damage to
the equipment, but may also cause problems when
commissioning the equipment or adversely affect its
performance.
2.2.1 Some Panel DO’s and DON’T’s
Before selecting a location for the panel and detectors,
DO make sure that:
a) The ambient temperature is in the range:
+5°C to 35°C and

at the PSU PCB. Terminals accept one 0.5 to 2.5mm2 stranded or solid
conductor.
Cables should be brought into the back box through the
20mm knockouts provided on the top face. Refer to
Section 2.5.2 for details on preparing the knockouts.
Ensure that all openings in the back box are closed off
before connecting power to the panel.
Mains Supply
The supply to the panel must be provided with a suitable
and readily-accessible, double-pole, mains-disconnect
device. The mains supply must be suitably fused and
rated according to the specifications.
Always ensure that the mains cables are brought into
the back box separately to the low-voltage wiring (refer
to Section 6.4 Powering the Panel). All low-voltage
cables should have a minimum 300VAC rating.
The termination of earth mains wiring must be done
before the termination of any external cable screens.

July 2011
EN 54 & ISO 7240 2-8 Zone Conventional Fire Panel - Installation & Configuration Manual
3.1.1 Cable Terminations
This section provides guidance on where to bring cables
into the back box for ease of termination.
a. The mains supply should be brought into the control
panel such that the live (L) and neutral (N) cable path
to the mains termination block (MTB) is kept as short
as possible. Refer to Section 6.4 Powering the
Panel for the recommended method of terminating
the mains wiring and safety earth. This must be done
before terminating all other panel wiring.
b. All zone and ancillary cable terminations should be
brought into the panel at suitable positions and routed
tidily between entry and termination points.
The drawing below shows recommended points of entry
so that the following cabling can meet these requirements.
a. Mains supply cable
b. Zone circuits: 1- 2, 1- 4 or 1- 8
c. Sounder circuits
d. Digital input circuits
e. Auxiliary output circuit (to meet the requirements of EMC
compatibility, cable length must not exceed 30m)
f. 2-way relay PCB outputs (optional)
g. 8-way relay PCB(s) outputs* (optional)
h. 4-way sounder PCB(s) outputs (optional)
* With 8 Zone panels it may be necessary to use multi-
core cables for these relay outputs.
11 997-492-000-6, Issue 6
July 2011
EN 54 & ISO 7240 2-8 Zone Conventional Fire Panel - Installation & Configuration Manual
Example:
Sounder circuit output: 20.0V (min); 0.5A (max)
Sounder device spec.: 15Vdc (min); 20mA (depends
on tone used)
Cable type spec.: Pirelli FP200 Gold, 1.5mm2
core resistance:12.1R/km (per
core at 20°C).
Maximum number of sounders per sounder output circuit:
= 0.5A / 0.020A = 25
Assuming worst case loading with all sounders at the
end of the cable:
Maximum cable resistance to ensure 15V:
= (20-15) / 0.5 = 10R
Maximum cable length that will ensure 15V minimum:
= 10 / (12.1+ 12.1) = 0.413km
If the sounders are more evenly distributed along the
length of the cable, then calculations will show that longer
cable lengths are permissable. After installation, the
following tests will confirm that your installation is
functional:
a. Activate the sounders and measure the voltage drop
along the cable:
Vdrop = Panel Terminal Voltage - End-of-line Voltage
b. Subtract this from the mimimum terminal voltage
when on battery back up to give the minimum end-
of-line voltage (Veolmin):
Veolmin = 20 - Vdrop
The voltage must exceed the minimum specification of
the sounders, i.e. 15V for the Notifier NS14.

Method 2:
Supports new and existing installations using Active End-
of-Line (AEOL) - PN: 020-417. For the AEOL to function
correctly an additional 10μF stabilising capacitor must
be fitted across the zone terminals (not supplied - order
PN: 020-743).
Method 3
Supports existing installations where there is a 4K7 resistor
EOL fitted already and it is preferable to install the panel
without modifying the existing wiring. Call points must be
wired nearer to the panel than detectors.
