1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 TERMINOLOGY
In order to make clear what is going to be explained in this document, we are giving a definition of the
terminology used throughout the document.
Actuator = addressed output module connected to the detection line which is controlled by the control
panel in case of alarm or fault. The actuator can be configured to control: an alarm box (type “C”), a fire
fighting apparatus (type “G”) or a fault warning device (type “J”).
Adaptation = adjustment of the opacity average value detected by the smoke detector. Adaptation is
required to adjust detection as a consequence of to the progressive accumulation of dirt inside the smoke
analysis chamber.
Alarm 1 only mode = when the control panel is in idle condition and detects one or more alarm points, it
switches to the alarm state with the siren output disabled. If other alarms are detected, the siren output
keeps being disabled.
Detection line = physical connection between points and the control panel.
Detector = automatic detector which can detect an alarm condition when the element under control
exceeds a given alarm threshold.
Field fault = fault affecting a point or the detection line
Fire alarm zone = when an alarm condition occurs, all the output modules and relays are activated
according to the alarm level reached.
Group of points = abstract entity which allows to group detectors, manual keys and input interfaces
present on the detection lines and belonging to different or equal zones. It is useful to generate a higher
level control offering more versatility in those cases requiring a cross check.
Group of zones = abstract entity which allows to group zones to generate a higher level control offering
more versatility in those cases requiring a cross check.
Hotel (mode) = when the control panel detects a point in alarm, it switches to the alarm condition with the
siren output disabled and loads the timer Tp associated with the point into the Talm timer. As soon as Talm
expires, the control panel activates the siren output.
If another point detects an alarm beforeTalm expiration, Talm is compared with the “Hotel” timer Th. If Talm
> Th, the control panel reloads Talm with Th, otherwise no reload is performed.
Whether Talm has been reloaded or not, its expiration leads to the activation of the siren output.
Loop line (class A) = the topology of the detection line is a closed loop. Both ends of the detection line are
connected to the control panel.
Manual button = manual detector which allows the user to force an alarm condition. The default alarm
level associated with the manual button is two units.
Master Alarm = by enabling this function it is possible to activate the actuators through the GENERAL
ALARM key. The Master Alarm function can be performed, after activation, also by manual keys or when a
zone switches to the alarm condition.
Multiple knock = when the control panel is in idle condition and one or more alarm points are detected in
the same zone and the sum of their weights is below the weight assigned to that zone, the control panel
switches to the alarm condition with the siren output disabled. When the sum of the alarm point weights in
the same zone is equal to or higher than the weight of the zone, the control panel activates the siren output.
Multiple knock with delay = when the control panel is in idle condition and one or more alarm points are
detected in the same zone and the sum of their weights is below the weight of the zone, the control panel
switches to the alarm condition with the siren output disabled. When the sum of the alarm point weights in
the same zone is equal to or higher than the weight of the zone, the control panel enables the zone timer.
When this timer expires, the control panel activates the siren output.
8/144 FAP54

Multiple knock with reset = when the control panel is in idle condition and one or more alarm points are
detected in the same zone and the sum of their weights is below the weight of the zone, the control panel
switches to the alarm condition with the siren output disabled and starts the reset timer; when the sum of
the alarm point weights in the same zone is equal to or higher than the weight of the zone, the control panel
activates the siren output. When the reset timer expires, the control panel cancels the alarm condition and
returns to the idle state. This mode can be applied only to technological zones.
Night/Day = when the day mode is ON and an alarm occurs, the alarm relay is activated after the
associated delay expiration. In the case the night mode is ON, the alarm relay is activated immediately as
soon as the alarm condition is detected.
Open line (class B) = one end only of the detection line is connected to the control panel.
Point = component connected to the detection circuit which can transmit or receive information concerning
the fire detection.
Single knock = when the control panel is in idle condition and detects an alarm, it switches to the alarm
condition and activates the siren output.
Single knock with delay = when the control panel is in idle condition and detects one or more points in
alarm, it switches to the alarm condition with the siren output disabled and starts a timer. When the timer
expires, the siren output is activated.
System = set of connected devices (control panel, expansion, sirens, detectors, keypads, wiring cables,
etc.) which carry out a specific function.
The system interacts with the outside world through its inputs and outputs.
System fault = hardware fault in the control panel or the peripherals connected with it.
Technological zone = when an alarm condition occurs, all the output modules are activated according to
the alarm level reached. The self-powered siren, the external bell outputs, the relays and the alarm
indicators are never enabled though.
Weight = it is the contribution brought by the point going in alarm condition to the alarm condition of the
zone/group it belongs to. When the sum of the weights of the points in alarm belonging to the same
zone/group is equal to or higher than the one defined for that zone/group, the zone/group goes to alarm
condition and, according to its programming mode, can start its timer.
The weight of a zone in fire mode has a fixed unmodifiable value and equals 2; conversely, the weight of a
zone in technological mode can be modified. The weight of detectors is fixed and equals 1, whereas the
weight of manual push buttons is 2 (it can be downgraded to 1, though). The weight of the remaining types
of points is programmable.
Zone = geographical subdivision of the premises and environments under surveillance where one or more
points (max 32) are installed and share the signalling equipment.
1.2 BASIC CONCEPTS
Normally a fire system is composed of several physical elements (detectors, manual buttons, output
modules, detection lines,…) and abstract elements (zones, groups of points, groups of zones) which make
up a complex control and surveillance system. Therefore, it is necessary to briefly analyze the elements
making up a fire system to better understand the performances of FAP54 control panel.
1.3 DETECTORS, MANUAL BUTTONS AND OUTPUT MODULES
These points, installed on the detection lines, are subdivided into two categories:
• Detectors (smoke detectors, heat detectors, smoke-heat detectors, manual push buttons, etc.)
• Output modules (actuation modules, etc.)
When the control panel is in “field scanning” mode, the detectors constantly monitor possible alarm
conditions (smoke presence due to fire, gas or temperature increase). If a point detects an alarm condition,
it sends the alarm information to the control panel through the detection line.
9/144 FAP54

The control panel, in turn, activates the outputs associated with the alarm condition and the output modules
associated with the zone which the alarming detector belongs to. As a result, the output modules operate
other devices for managing and/or signalling the alarm condition (light plates, sirens,…).
The points which can be connected to the detection lines of FAP54 control panel are the following:
DEVICE Abbreviation
SMOKE DETECTOR SM
HEAT DETECTOR HT
OUTPUT MODULE OM
CONCENTRATOR MODULE CM
MANUAL BUTTON MN
GAS DETECTOR GS
LINEAR DETECTOR LN
SMOKE/HEAT DETECTOR SH
LATCH INPUT MODULE LI
PULSE INPUT MODULE PI
SMOKE/HEAT/GAS DETECTOR XS
BATHROOM CALL CORD TB
CURRENT INPUT MODULE 4-20 mA CI
LATCHED INPUT WITH SIREN OUTPUT IS
Each point is characterized by the following basic information:

Type = type of the device, according to the table above
Circuit = number of the circuit connected to the line where the point is located
Address = address assigned to the point
The maximum number of points which can be connected to a detection line is 128.
Moreover, FAP54 control panel makes it possible to associate a 32-character text with each device for an
easy identification.
1.4 DETECTION LINES AND CONTROL PANEL
The detection lines are wires over which communication between the points and the control panel takes
place. They are also used by the control panel to power supply the points.
The number of detection lines which can be connected to the control panel depends on the control panel
configuration and each line can be configured in loop or open mode.
If the line is configured as a loop, the wire where the points are connected “comes out and returns” to the
control panel, whereas in the case of a line configured as open the wire “comes out” without returning to the
control panel.
The control panel is equipped with circuit module cards. These modules provide the interface between the
detection lines and the control panel. They communicate directly with the devices and notify the control
panel about alarms or faults occurring on the field.
Besides, these modules are autonomous and can work also without the control panel supervision.
1.5 ZONE
The zone is an abstract entity composed of a set of detectors.

Each detector, regardless of the circuit it is connected to, can be associated with any zone. The only
limitation is that a detector can be associated with one single zone at a time. Therefore, different zones
cannot share detectors.
In theory, all the points (not output modules) of the system can be associated simultaneously to the same
zone. Nevertheless, it is good practice to associate no more than 32 points per zone, otherwise the
system would not be compliant with the standard UNI EN 54-2.
FAP54 control panel provides the user with 480 zones.
The zone 480, in theory fully usable as the other zones, in practice covers the role of temporary storage
area for the points just acquired by the panel at the end of an initialization procedure.
Therefore, it is advisable to move the points just acquired by the panel from the zone 480 to other zones
which the user intends to use. For each of these zones the limit of 32 points must not be violated.
10/144 FAP54

Also, it is possible to associate output modules with zones. These modules will be activated when the zone
goes into alarm condition (the zone goes into alarm condition when one or more detectors belonging to the
zone detects an alarm).
Up to 50 output modules can be associated with each zone, and each module can be associated with more
than one zone at the same time.
Each zone can be configured with either one of these operating modes:
- fire alarm
- technological
Each operating mode leads to a certain number of modes of activation of the alarm condition, the outputs
and the relays.
Also, It is possible to assign a 32 characters name to each zone.
1.6 GROUP OF POINTS
The group of points is an abstract entity composed of a set of detectors.

Each detector, regardless of the line it is connected to, can be associated with each group of points, without
any limitation. Each detector can be associated with as many groups of points as the user wants at the
same time. Therefore, different groups can share detectors.
FAP54 control panel provides the user with 240 groups of points.
It is possible to associate up to 50 detectors with each group of points.
Moreover, up to 50 output modules can be associated with each group of points, and each module can be
associated with more than one group at the same time.
Each group of points can be configured with either one of these operating modes:
- fire alarm
- technological
Each operating mode leads to a certain number of modes of activation of the alarm condition.
Also, It is possible to assign a 32 characters name to each group of points.
1.7 GROUP OF ZONES
The group of zones is an abstract entity composed of a set of zones.

Each zone can be associated with each group of zones, without any limitation. Each zone can be
associated with as many groups of zones as the user wants at the same time. Therefore, different groups
can share zones.
FAP54 control panel provides the user with 240 groups of zones.
It is possible to associate up to 50 zones with each group.
Moreover, up to 50 output modules can be associated with each group of zones, and each module can be
associated with more than one group at the same time.
Each group of zones can be configured with either one of these operating modes:
- fire alarm
- technological
Each operating mode leads to a certain number of modes of activation of the alarm condition.
Also, It is possible to assign a 32 characters name to each group of zones.
11/144 FAP54

1.8 OPERATING MODES OF ZONES AND GROUPS
Each zone, group of points or group of zones can be programmed with one of the following operating
modes:
Fire: when an alarm occurs, all the output modules, the siren and bell outputs, alarm relays and indicators
are enabled according to the alarm level of the control panel.
This mode is represented by the following achronym: FR.
Technological: when an alarm occurs, all the output modules are enabled according to the alarm level of
the control panel. The self-powered siren and external bell outputs are never enabled.
This mode is represented by the following achronym: TN.
1.9 ALARM CONDITION MODES OF ZONES AND GROUPS
Each zone, group of points and group of zones can be programmed to switch to the alarm condition with
the siren output enabled or not.
The siren output, in turn, is activated when one or more points detect an alarm condition or because of the
expiration of an activation timer, according to the programming mode of the zone or group.
The alarm condition with siren output disabled is characterized by:

- buzzer activated
- fire alarm LED blinking
- alarm relay activated
- siren relay deactivated
- siren output deactivated
The alarm condition with siren output enabled is characterized by:

- buzzer activated
- fire alarm LED steady ON
- alarm relay activated
- siren relay activated
- siren output activated
Single knock
When the control panel is in idle condition and detects one or more points in alarm, it switches to the alarm
condition with siren output enabled.
Single knock with time

When the control panel is idle condition and detects one or more alarm points, it switches to the alarm
condition with siren output disabled and starts an activation timer. When the timer expires, the control panel
switches to the alarm condition with siren output enabled.
Multiple knock
For zones programmed in “Fire” operating mode, the following applies:
When the control panel is in idle condition and one alarm from a point belonging to the zone is detected, the
panel switches to the alarm condition with siren output disabled. As soon as an alarm from another point of
the same zone is detected, the panel goes to the alarm condition with siren output enabled.
NOTE: when the panel is in idle condition and a manual push button is pressed, the control panel goes
directly to the alarm condition with siren output enabled.
For zones programmed in “Technological” operating mode and groups (both fire and technological), the
following applies:
when the control panel is in idle condition and one or more alarm points are detected in the same
zone/group and the sum of their weights is less than the weight assigned to the zone/group, the control
panel switches to the alarm condition with siren output disabled; when the sum of the alarm point weights in
the same zone/group is equal to or greater than the weight assigned to the zone/group, the control panel
switches to the alarm condition wth siren output enabled.
12/144 FAP54

Multiple knock with time
For zones programmed in “Fire” operating mode, the following applies:
When the control panel is in idle condition and one alarm from a point belonging to the zone is detected, the
panel switches to the alarm condition with siren output disabled. As soon as another alarm from a point of
the same zone is detected, the panel activates the timer for the activation of the siren output. When this
timer expires, the control panel switches to the alarm condition with siren output enabled.
NOTE: when the panel is in idle condition and a manual push button is pressed, the control panel switches
to the alarm condition with siren output disabled and the activation timer is started at once.
For zones programmed in “Technological” operating mode and groups (both fire and technological), the
following applies:
when the control panel is in idle condition and one or more alarms from points beloning to the same
zone/group are detected and the sum of their weights is less than the weight of the zone/group, the control
panel switches to the alarm condition with siren output disabled; when the sum of the alarm point weights in
the same zone/group is equal to or greater than the weight of the zone/group, the control panel starts the
timer for the activation of the siren output. When the timer expires, the control panel switches to the alarm
Only alarm 1
This mode is only applicable to zones/groups programmed with “technological” mode.
When the control panel is in idle condition and one or more points detect an alarm, the control panel
switches to the alarm condition with siren output disabled. If further points detect an alarm, the control panel
keeps being in the state of alarm condition with siren output disabled.
Multiple knock with reset

This mode is only applicable to technological zones.
When the control panel is in idle condition and one or more alarm points are detected in the same zone and
the sum of their weights is less than the weight of the zone, the control panel switches to the alarm
condition with siren output disabled and starts the reset timer; when the sum of the alarm point weights in
the same zone is equal to or greater than the weight of the zone, the control panel switches to the alarm
When the reset timer expires, the control panel cancels the alarm condition and returns to idle state.
Hotel
This mode is only applicable to zones programmed in “Fire” operating mode.
When the control panel detects a point in alarm, it switches to the alarm condition with siren output
disabled and starts the timer associated with the point Tp. If another alarm is detected by another point
before the expiration of Tp, the remaining amount of Tp s compared to the hotel reload time Th. If Tp > Th,
Tp is reloaded with Th, otherwise no reload is done. In any case, Tp keeps running and, on its expiration,
the control panel switches to the alarm condition with siren output enabled.
In the modes involving the siren output activation timer, it is possible to:
• Assign different timers to detectors and manual buttons.

• Increase the timer through the INCREASE DELAY key on the control panel keypad.
• Force the immediate expiration of the timer through the SKIP DELAY key on the control panel
keypad.
• Assign a zero value to the timer through the “Clear delay” function in the case of manual buttons and
input modules provided with this functionality.

2 OPERATING MODES
The FAP54 control panel has two operating modes: scanning phase and programming phase. When
FAP54 is powered on, the scanning phase will be always started and maintained until the installer or the
user carries out an intervention.
2.1 SCANNING PHASE
In this operating mode the control panel monitors the detectors scattered in the field and manages the
following events:
- alarm
- general fault
- field fault
- maintenance
- exclusion
- events related to slave control panels (if the control panel is set as master)
- generic events (not classified into any of the previous categories)
Normally, if there are not active events, the display on the control panel front side shows the following
message:
Night time active Event indicator

System name
N #
FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM
12/10/2008 11:50:42

Type of control
Date Time
The event indicator is shown when at least one event has occurred since the last time a level 2 password
has been inserted. If no event has occurred, a blinking asterisk will be displayed instead of the event
indicator.
If the control panel has not been programmed yet, the display shows the message “MONITORING NOT
POSSIBLE”.
If an event occurs, the display shows the event, along with the cumulative counters for each type of event
on the right-hand side.
First event occurred Event cumulative

Should more events occur, the display shows, in addition to the event counter increase, the first event
occurred at the top and the most recent alarm (if present) at the bottom.
The events are displayed according to the following priority:
• Zones in alarms (ZA)
• General faults (GF)
• Field faults (FF)
• Exclusion (EX)
• Group of points in alarm (GP)
• Group of zones in alarm (GZ)
• Maintenance (MN)
• Events related to SLAVE control panels (SP)
• Generic events (GE)
14/144 FAP54

By using the keys ∧ and ∨ it is possible to change the type of event displayed (the > symbol on the right
selects the type of the event currently shown on the first two rows).
By using the keys < and > it is possible to go back and forth through the events of the selected type.
The selected event will be displayed at the top, while the most recent alarm event will be displayed at the
bottom (if at least one alarm is present) or nothing will be displayed.

2.1.2 GENERAL FAULT DISPLAY
The display of a general fault depends on the type of event occurred and it usually allows the immediate
recognition of the equipment or part of the control panel in faulty condition which can negatively affect the
system operation.
In any case, the display shows each event with all the data needed for the equipment identification (e.g.
address) and the related error code.
Example:
Fault code
Type of fault Address of faulty panel
FAULT REMOTE PANEL 05 (01) ZA000

PANEL NAME >GF001

Note that some type of fault is notified with a self explaining message, allowing the user to immediately
understand what is going on.
Other types of fault are notified instead with a message and an error code. For a detailed explanation of
these codes, please refer to the appendixes.
2.1.3 FIELD FAULT DISPLAY
The display of a field fault depends on the type of fault.

Usually, a field fault affects a detection circuit or a device connected to this circuit.
A field fault due to a device is notified as follows:
Circuit of faulty point
Faulty point address Point attributes
(see appendix)
Zone which the point

belongs to
FAULT Z020 C01 P018 TP Q F001 ZA000

>FF001

(See appendix)
The field fault on the detection circuit occurs when an event has changed the circuit connection structure,
like for instance the line loop breaking or a short circuit on the line.
In any case, a self-explaining message will be displayed. Below is reported an example of a field fault of
type “short circuit” affecting circuit 1.

2.1.6 SLAVE CONTROL PANEL DISPLAY
This section is valid only if the control panel is configured as a MASTER and it is connected to a network of
SLAVE control panels.
Any event occurring on a SLAVE control panel is notified to the MASTER control panel, which shows it by
using two rows, according to the following rules:
- the first row shows the address and name of the SLAVE control panel affected by the event,
- the second row equals the first row used by the SLAVE control panel to show the event.on its own
display
For instance, suppose that the SLAVE control panel with address 50 and named “HANGAR” is affected by
a maintenance event on a smoke detector.
This SLAVE control panel, then, shows the following message on its display:
MAINT. Z020 C01 P018 SM GP000

KITCHEN SMOKE DETECTOR GZ000
>MN001
SP000
The MASTER control panel to whom the SLAVE control panel is connected shows the following
information:
SLAVE 050 HANGAR GP000

MAINT. Z020 C01 P018 SM GZ000
MN000
>SP001
This message says to the user that the smoke detector, located on circuit 1 in the SLAVE 50 and having
the address 18, requests a maintenance intervention.
Moreover, it says that the SLAVE control panel with address 50 is also named “HANGAR”.
Alarms, faults and maintenace events occurring on a SLAVE control panel are displayed on the MASTER
control panel’s display according to the aforementioned rule (address and name of the SLAVE control panel
plus the first row of the event shown in the SLAVE control panel).
The events of exclusion/inclusion occurring on a SLAVE control panel are handled in a different way:
If a SLAVE control panel is affected by at least one exclusion, the MASTER control panel shows a
message like this:
SLAVE 050 HANGAR GP000

ACTIVE EXCLUSIONS 007 GZ000
MN000
>SP001
This message indicates the number of elements currently excluded on the SLAVE control panel (in the
example, there are 7 active exclusions on the SLAVE control panel).
If all the currently excluded elements are re-included, the above message is not shown anymore.
In the case the user wants to receive further information on the events occurring in the SLAVE control panel
(for instance, the name of the point requiring maintenance, or detailed information on the excluded
elements), it is necessary to get to the event log of the SLAVE control panel.
The event log of the SLAVE control panel can be accessed directly from the MASTER control panel’s
display. In order to do this, it is necessary to view any event of the SLAVE control panel of interest in the
MASTER control panel’s display and then press OK.
18/144 FAP54

NOTE: consider the following condition:
- the panel is a MASTER and it is connected to one or more SLAVE panels
- the MASTER contains local events ( (there are folders other than SP which are not empty)
- the SP folder is not empty and the events are all generated by the same SLAVE panel
- the MASTER is currently showing events from the SP folder
Under the aforementioned conditions, if the SLAVE panel undergoes a GLOBAL RESET the MASTER
switches temporarily to the following screen:
EVENT NOT AVAILABLE GD000

GZ000
MN000
>SP000
After 20 seconds, the MASTER shows the events of the first not empty local folder.
2.1.7 GENERIC EVENTS DISPLAY

The folder of generic events is suited for events which must be displayed but cannot be classified in any of
the previous categories.
They are:
- Events of block/resume of actuations for output modules
- Events related to modem connections (incoming calls, outgoing calls for alarms/faults/maintenance)
2.1.8 USER’S INFORMATION DISPLAY

In FAP54-4, FAP54-8 and FAP 54-16, it is possible to display two user messages, each one spread over 4
lines rather than the ELKRON logo.
These messages must be explicitly programmed by the user via PC in order to be displayed (the ELKRON
logo will be shown in the bottom part of the display until these user messages are programmed).
The user can program two messages: one to be displayed when the control panel in idle condition, the
other one to be displayed when an alarm/fault event is on.
2.1.9 ACQUISITION OF ALARM, FAULT OR MAINTENANCE EVENT

When an alarm, fault or maintenance event takes place, the control panel carries out all the actions
concerning the event (e.g. activation of actuators, relays, etc.), displays the event and activates the internal
buzzer with a continuous sound to signal the alarm and with an intermittent sound to signal faults and
maintenance events.
In these conditions, the user can press ACK in order to acknowledge the event and silence the buzzer.
However, the event is still present and the relevant outputs are still active.
2.1.10 GLOBAL RESET

By pressing RESET (after inserting the password, if enabled) the control panel normal operating conditions
will be restored: all the pending alarms and faults will be cancelled, while the controlled outputs and relays
will be forced back to idle condition.
At the end of this procedure, the control panel will resume the monitoring of the field.
If the cause of an event detected before RESET is still present after RESET has been pressed, the event
will be detected again. When the control panel is in programming phase, the “Global Reset” will reset only
the faults and the field monitoring will not be resumed.
Each time global reset is invoked, an event is stored in the event log.
2.1.11 PROGRAMMING PHASE

In this operating mode, the control panel can be programmed by a technician.
During the programming phase, the control panel does not perform the field monitoring and the detection
lines are powered off (there are procedures though, run by the user in the programming phase, which can
temporarily power on the detection lines).
19/144 FAP54

2.2 FAP54 - MODULAR STRUCTURE
FAP54 is a fire detection control panel with a completely modular structure which makes it possible to meet
all field requirements also in the event of further system expansion. To meet these needs, FAP54 consists
of different internal modules which can be “added” or “removed”. Below is reported a list of the modules
making up FAP54 with a description of each single one:
• CPU board:
A microcontroller based on ARM7 32-bit core managing all the control, programming and actuation
functions.
The CPU communicates with the circuit modules through an internal communication bus (RS485). This
communication bus includes all the information coming from the detection fields and the controls
transmitted from the CPU to the modules.
Control board
This board, located on the control panel bottom part, is fitted with a microprocessor (8 bit) and carries
out slave functions in relation to the CPU board, converting the serial commands received on the
internal bus into electrical commands to the outputs.
In addition, it monitors the absorption and management of the overall current to field and siren outputs.
The Control Board is fitted with the warning relays and the terminals for the connection of:
• detection lines
• LCD annunciators (enabled through an additional module)
• master slave (which can be enabled through an additional module)
• alarm outputs
• field output
• siren output
The Control Board is also fitted with 2 expansion slots, one used for the battery charger board and the
other for further expansions.
• Backplane board:
This board, located on the control panel bottom part, is electrically connected with the Control Board.
The loop cards shall be put on it (circuit modules).
• Battery charger board:
This board, fitted on the Control Board, manages the battery charge in compliance with EN54-04
• Circuit module board:
This module, inserted in a slot placed on the Backplane, is the interface between the detection line and
the CPU. It is an independent module managed internally by an 8-bit microprocessor. The purpose of
this module is to monitor the points connected to the detection line and notify the control panel about
alarm or fault events.
• AC power supply:
This function is carried out by an AC/DC converter which transforms Vac (from 98 to 264) input into
26Vcc output.
The control panels equipped with up to 4 loops are fitted with a factory AC/DC converter which can supply 3.8 A
The control panels equipped with more than 4 loops are fitted with a factory AC/DC converter which can supply 5.5 A
• Display:
It shows all the information processed by the CPU board.
Considering the type of control panel, 2 displays are possible:
• 4/40 display for control panel with one single loop
• 240*128 graphic display for control panels with at least two loops.
• Printer module (optional)
This module allows the connection of a parallel printer based on continuous module and ASCII
standard of Centronics type. This module is installed on the same line (485) where the LCD
annunciators are connected to and therefore requires this interface to work.
• RS232/485 module (optional):
This module must be connected to the CPU board in order to enable the communication between:
o MASTER panel and SLAVE panels
o FAP panel and the LCD annunciators
o FAP panel and the printer module
• MASTER/SLAVE module (optional):
Module which allows building a network of MASTER / SLAVE control panels. It is installed directly on
the CPU board.
• LAN module (optional):
Module which makes it possible to connect the control panel to a LAN. It is installed directly on the
CPU board.
• PSTN/GSM modem module (optional):
This module allows the FAP panel to communicate with an external modem. There are two version of
this module, according to whether the user wants to use a PSTN modem (mounted directly on the
board) or a GSM modem (exernal to the modem card).
20/144 FAP54

2.3 EMERGENCY OPERATION
The modular structure of FAP54 allows the complete control of the detection field also if the CPU board is
faulty. In this case, as a result of the smart circuit modules, both the monitoring of the field and the
notification of alarms are ensured through the relays and alarm indicators.
However, it is important to bear in mind that this mode does not replace the normal control panel operation,
but it is an emergency operation. It is also necessary to specify that all the zone/group associations of the
devices are no longer valid: each module signals the alarm condition when a detector on its line reveals an
alarm condition.

22/144 FAP54

2.4.3 OUTPUTS AND RELAYS
Siren output
The siren output controls two outputs used for the self-powered siren and bell activation.
Alarm relay
This relay is activated when the control panel switches to an alarm condition, whether the siren output is
activated or not. The relay is deactivated when a “Global Reset” is carried out.
It is also activated when the CPU board is faulty and an alarm on the field is detected by a circuit module.
Siren relay
This relay is activated when the control panel switches to an alarm condition with siren output active.
The relay is deactivated when a “Global Reset” is carried out.
It is possible to associate a delay to the relay activation.
The relay is also activated when the CPU board is faulty and an alarm on the field is detected.
Programmable relay
This relay can be programmed with either one of the following functions:
AC presence relay
This relay is activated when the control panel detects absence of power supply. The relay returns to idle
condition when a “Global Reset” is carried out. It is possible to associate a delay to its activation.
Exclusion relay
This relay is activated immediately when any exclusion is present on the control panel.
It is deactivated when no exclusion is present.
Fault relay
This relay is activated when the control panel detects either a field fault or a system fault.
The relay returns to idle condition when a “Global Reset” is carried out.
It is possible to associate a delay time with its operation.
This relay is activated also in case of faulty CPU board.
2.4.4 JUMPERS
The FAP54 control panel is equipped with a few jumpers which enable functions such as the control panel
programming via PC or backlight steady ON. For detailed information, please refer to the installation
manual.
Do not change the state of the jumpers not mentioned in the manuals.
2.5 MODEM (OPTIONAL)
The control panel can be connected, via an optional expansion board, with a PSTM or GSM modem for
data transmission to a remote application.
The modem can place a call because of alarms, faults and maintenance events.
The modem can be programmed according to one of the following programming modes:
• CALLED: the modem accepts incoming calls generated by a remote modem.
• CALLED/CALLING: the modem accepts incoming calls generated by a remote modem. Moreover, if an
alarm/fault/maintenance event occurs, the control panel places a call (via modem) to one or more phone
numbers properly programmed and associated to the events just occurred.
• CALLING: the control panel uses the modem to place one or more calls to the programmed numbers
associated to the events. IN SUCH A CASE, THE MODEM DOES NOT HANDLE INCOMING CALLS.
FAP 54 allows the user to define and store up to 4 phone numbers (each composed of of 20 digits).
Each number, in turn, can be associated to one or more among the following events:
- alarms
- general faults
- fiel faults
- maintenance events
23/144 FAP54

FAP 54 can also store 3 strings (received via PC command in protected mode) to be used as AT
commands in the following conditions:
• AT Command nr. 1: sent to the modem at the end of initialization phase.
• AT Command nr. 2: sent to the modem before dialing phone numbers 1 and 2
• AT Command nr. 3: sent to the modem before dialing phone numbers 3 e 4.
For security reasons, modem communication is protected with a password: after the handshake, the control
panel must receive a command containing the correct password before it starts receiving and accepting
PC commands.
2.6 MASTER AND SLAVE CONTROL PANELS (OPTIONAL)
With FAP54 control panel it is possible to connect up to 32 SLAVE control panels to a MASTER control panel.
The MASTER control panels will notify to the user any alarm/fault/maintenance events occurring in the
SLAVE control panels connected with it.
The control panel connection is carried out through 2-wire RS485 at a speed of 57600 baud/sec by using
an optional module.
2.7 CONNECTION WITH PERSONAL COMPUTER
The FAP54 control panel can be completely programmed by the personal computer through the suitable
application. By using this program, running in Windows® environment, the installer has the possibility to set,
activate and program the control panel and all the elements connected with it without having it really
connected with the PC. Then, once programming is complete, the installer can connect the PC to the
control panel and transmit the previously set configuration.
Moreover, the application can get the current configuration from the control panel and store it in the PC .
This configuration copy, saved on the PC, can be used by the installer as “backup” (e.g. in case it is
necessary to reset the configuration as a result of wrong programming).
The PC, connected to the control panel via USB, must be powered on with a battery or must be insulated
from earth. Otherwise, the control panel will notify an earth dispersion fault.
24/144 FAP54

2.8 CONTROL PANEL PROGRAMMING
After installing the control panel, the lines and detectors, the installer can choose whether programming the
control panel through the graphic user interface provided by the control panel or through PC.
2.8.1 PROGRAMMING THROUGH CONTROL PANEL MENU
After providing power supply to control panel and checking that no electrical faults are present, start the
programming mode and proceed according to the following points:
1 Start the auto-addressed circuit initialization or, if wishing to enter manually each single point, proceed
with the manual mode initialization.
The auto-addressed circuit initialization is strongly recommended as the control panel, at the end of
this operation, will show the real points detected.
2 Program each single zone/group configuration (name, fire, single/multiple knock…) and device
(detector, manual button, output module) connected with it according to the system characteristics.
3 Program each single device according to the system characteristics.
4 Enable the peripherals connected with the control panel (printer, LCD annunciators…).
5 Exit programming and start scanning.
6 Check the system functions: make sure there is a correct association between devices and actions in
case of alarm.
7 Save configuration on the personal computer through the program
2.8.2 PROGRAMMING VIA PC
After editing the configuration on the personal computer, power on the control panel and activate the
configuration download option from PC to control panel. At the end of the transfer, the control panel will
start the scanning phase: any discrepancies between the programmed configuration and the real field will
be immediately highlighted through field faults or general faults or false alarm conditions. In this case, enter
the programming menu, then fix the panel configuration issues or operate directly on the field.
It is recommended to configure the control panel and install the devices in permanent mode, proceeding as
follows:
1 Carry out point 1 of “programming through control panel menu”.

2 Exit programming and start field scanning: if everything is correct no field/general faults or alarms shall
occur. If any malfunctioning occurs, remove the event that has caused the fault.
3 Download the configuration from the control panel to the PC by using the suited application.
4 Switch off the control panel.
5 Operate on the previously downloaded configuration by using the PC application and complete it by
adding further information for each device, zone and group (eg. names, associations, etc.).
6 Power on the control panel, wait until it enters the scanning phase, then download the configuration
from the personal computer to the control panel.
7 Check the system functions: make sure there is a correct association between points and actions in
case of alarm.
8 Save the final configuration, if changed, on the personal computer.

[OK] CONTINUE [ESC] BACK
By confirming with OK, the protection password will be requested (if enabled) and finally the main
programming menu will be displayed.
Please note that when the control panel is being programmed, the lines and the devices ARE NOT
CONTROLLED. Therefore, if during programming an alarm occurs on a detection line, it will be detected
only when the scanning phase is restarted. Also, a fault on a point – detectable only through scanning – will
not be detected until the control panel returns to the scanning phase.
Instead, any system fault (and, in some cases, also field fault) will be detected also during programming
and the acknowledgement will be possible through the ACK key.
The main programming menu is composed of two sections, reported below:
[1] CIRCUIT
[2] ZONE
[3] GROUP
[4] POINT ∨
[5] PASSWORD ∧

3.1.1 CONFIGURE ALL THE CIRCUITS
The user can select the configuration of each circuit separately (loop or open).
Keys ∧ and ∨ are used to the select the circuit, while keys < and > are used to select the initialization
method. The latter can be selected only for present and working modules (neither faulty nor excluded).
Possible modules not present will be indicated with dashes.
CIRCUIT 1: OPEN
CIRCUIT 2: LOOP
CIRCUIT 3: ------
CIRCUIT 4: FAULTY ∨
CIRCUIT 5: EXCLUDED ∧
CIRCUIT 6: OPEN
CIRCUIT 7: ------
CIRCUIT 8: ------ ∨
After selecting the configuration of each circuit, press OK to pass to the selection of the addressing mode:
[1] AUTO-ADDRESSED MODE

[2] PRE-CONFIGURED MODE
[3] UPDATE
27/144 FAP54

The user can select separately:
Auto-addressed mode: the whole device field is re-addressed according to the physical position occupied by
the single device. The previous addresses are replaced by new addresses assigned by the control panel.
Pre-configured mode: the points in the field are acquired by the control panel without any modification of
the field. However, the control panel accepts only the devices with valid addresses (1-128). A new or non-
configured device is not accepted by the control panel which will abort the procedure.
Update: This initialization is used in the event of system expansion. The previous points already configured
are not changed, while the new ones are automatically assigned a valid address, starting from the first one
available. If any addresses of the previous configuration are removed, the control panel will automatically
assign the address of the removed point to a new device.
If the auto-addressed mode is selected, a further confirmation is requested before proceeding:

WARNING! THIS PROCEDURE AFFECTS
THE ADDRESSES OF THE DEVICES
Infact, if this procedure is run accidentally on an already configured system, it will lead to the loss
of the pre-existing configuration, as it implies the re-assignment of the addresses to all the points
in the field.
Regardless of the selected initialization mode, at the end of initialization the following information will be
displayed:
|01 |02 o03 o04 |05 |06 o07 o08
010 000 011 MNP 000 ER2 005 000
|09 |10 |11 |12 |13 |14 |15 |16
MNP ER1 MNP 100 056 ESCL ESCL ER3
It summarizes the configuration data and the procedure outcome regarding each line (the example shown
refers to a control panel with 16 lines) according to the following rules:
CXX
YYY
The configuration is represented by symbol C, which can be:

| = open mode circuit configuration
o = loop mode circuit configuration
XX is the circuit number
The procedure outcome is represented by string YYY, which can take on the following values:
a numerical value: the procedure for circuit XX has been successfully completed and YYY points have
been detected on the line.
ER1: a module error has occurred during the procedure execution

ER2: a line error has occurred (field fault) during the procedure execution
ER3: a procedure error has occurred during the procedure execution
MNP: the module is not present
ESCL: the module is excluded
For example, with reference to what displayed in the screen above, at the end of the procedure:
- Circuit 1 has been initialized correctly in open mode and 10 devices have been detected on the line
- Circuit 2 has been initialized correctly in open mode and there are no devices on the line
- Circuit 3 has been initialized correctly in loop mode and 11 devices have been detected on the line
- module 4 is not present
- Circuit 5: remarks similar to line 2
- Circuit 6, in open mode, has not been initialized correctly because of a line error
- …
- Circuit 15 is excluded
- Circuit 16, in open mode, has not been initialized correctly because of a procedure error.
28/144 FAP54

Therefore, possible errors on one or more circuits do not compromise the procedure of the remaining
circuits which will be completed successfully.
The circuits where the procedure has not been completed successfully shall be initialized individually to
provide more accurate information on the failure reasons.
The initialization procedure consists of sub-procedures, some of which (usually the most time expensive)
can be interrupted by the user.
The procedure phases which can be interrupted by the user usually display the following message:
PROCEDURE IN PROGRESS
PLEASE WAIT
[ESC] ABORT
In case of procedure interruption by the user, the control panel will carry out the following operations on
each circuit module:
- restore of previous configuration, if the pre-configured or update initialization mode has been selected
- configuration cancellation, if the auto-addressed initialization mode has been selected.
Therefore, if the auto-addressed initialization mode is started and then aborted, an empty
configuration will be stored in the control panel.
The same operations will be carried out on the modules where the procedure has been completed and has
led to an error (codes ER1, ER2, ER3 described previously).
If the procedure is not interrupted by the user and is completed, by pressing OK in the summary screen
the following menu will be displayed:
PROCEDURE COMPLETED
[ESC] BACK
This menu is necessary because the initialization of an existing system may lead to a change of addresses
and/or removal of devices or actuators previously associated with zones and/or groups. Therefore, it might
be necessary to cancel completely all the existing associations or simply cancel the ones no longer valid,
i.e. the associations whose points are not longer present or have acquired a type incompatible with the
association itself (e.g. after auto-addressing a system already configured, an output module and a device
might exchange their addresses).
The menu above gives the user the possibility to choose whether to carry out these association
cancellation/update operations.
Therefore, the circuit inizialization on an existing configuration can change the type of the already acquired
points.
3.1.2 CONFIGURE SINGLE CIRCUIT
First, the user is asked to enter the number of the circuit to be initialized:
CIRCUIT:
After entering the circuit number and confirming it with OK, the user is asked for the type of configuration
[1] SET SINGLE CIRCUIT IN LOOP MODE

[2] SET SINGLE CIRCUIT IN OPEN MODE
29/144 FAP54

After selecting the circuit configuration, the initialization mode is requested. The initialization modes depend
on the circuit configuration.
If the loop mode configuration is selected, the circuit configuration menu is the following:
[1] AUTO-ADDRESSED MODE

[3] UPDATE
If the open mode configuration is selected, the circuit configuration menu is the following:
[1] AUTO -ADDRESSED MODE
[3] UPDATE
[4] WALK ADDRESSING
Auto-addressed mode: the whole device field is re-addressed according to the physical position occupied
by the single device. The previous addresses are replaced by new addresses assigned by the control panel.
Pre-configured mode: the points in the field are acquired by the control panel without any change.
However, the control panel accepts only the devices with valid addresses (1-128). A new or non-configured
device is not accepted by the control panel which will abort the procedure.
Update: this type of initialization is used in case of system expansion. The previous points already
configured are not changed, while the new ones are automatically assigned a valid address, starting from
the first one available. If any addresses of the previous configuration are removed, the control panel will
automatically assign the address of the removed point to a new device.
Walk addressing: this type of initialization is carried out by removing and then reconnecting the devices,
one at a time. The devices will be assigned the addresses in the order they have been removed.
The condition required to enable this type of initialization is that all the devices are already wired and
connected in pure parallel (if modules or manual buttons are used, insert the input/output short circuit
jumper).
The operator shall remove one device at a time, keep it removed for at least 5 seconds and then put it back
(for manual buttons and modules, remove the related power supply jumper).
After the device has been reconnected, wait for the green LED flashing to confirm correct addressing.
For the auto-addressed mode the remarks are similar to those made for the configuration of all lines. The
user will be asked for a further confirmation before proceeding:
WARNING! THIS PROCEDURE AFFECTS

THE ADDRESSES OF THE DEVICES
During the execution of the procedure, a message with the progress status 1(represented by the number of
points recognized so far) is shown:
PLEASE WAIT
N. POINTS: XX [ESC] ABORT
At the end of the initialization in auto-addressed, pre-configured or update mode, the hardware
configuration of the circuit will be displayed along with all the points detected on the selected line,
subdivided per quantity and type.
Type “ER” refers to devices with problems of communication with the control panel or to devices with
duplicated addresses.
30/144 FAP54

Type “??” refers to a device whose address is recognized by the control panel, but whose type is not listed
in the control panel configuration.

By pressing ESC
- The configuration before initialization is restored if the pre-configured or update mode is selected.
- The configuration is cancelled if the auto-addressed mode is selected. The circuit module then
contains an empty configuration
By pressing OK, the new configuration will be confirmed and stored.

At the end of storage, it is possible to carry out the total cancellation of the associations or only of those no
longer valid (similar remarks to the ones made for the configuration of all the lines):
CONFIGURATION STORED
[1] DELELE ALL THE ASSOCIATIONS
[ESC] BACK
If the walk addressing mode is selected, a further confirmation will be asked to the user:
WARNING! THIS PROCEDURE IS VALID ONLY

FOR DEVICES CONNECTED IN PURE PARALLEL
If the user confirms with OK, the procedure will be started and the following message displayed:
********************************
[OK] FINISH [ESC] ABORT
By pressing ESC, the procedure is interrupted and the control panel cancels the circuit configuration.
Cancellation is due to the fact that the path addressing mode changes the addresses of the points in the
field which now are misaligned with a possible old configuration potentially restorable by the control panel.
By pressing OK, the control panel is informed that the procedure is finished (the operator has removed and
then re-inserted the various points in the order he wanted them to be addressed).
In this last case the screen will display the devices initialized up to that moment, subdivided per type and
number.
TOT. PTS: XXX

TOT. PTS: XXX
By pressing ESC the configuration is cancelled (in such a case, an empty configuration will be stored
in the module), while by pressing OK the new configuration is confirmed and stored.
31/144 FAP54

At the end of storage, it is possible to carry out the total cancellation of the associations or only of those no
longer valid:

Smoke level: this value increases when some smoke is present in the detection chamber. Normally, in
clean air conditions and with a new detector or the adaptation function recently performed, the value is
close to 60; in alarm conditions the value is above 110.
If, during a test execution, the device is removed or the control panel does not communicate with the
device, field INFO1 will display the string “ERR”. In this case, any possible information displayed in field
INFO2 is not significant.
Notes:
- The dirt index of a smoke detector is defined as the ratio between the following entities:
numerator = (current smoke level– reference smoke level with the device in idle) * 100
denominator = (maximum smoke level reference - reference smoke level with the device in idle)
- The sensitivity index of the device is defined as follows:
(average of the read smoke level – current reference smoke level)) * 100/delta of alarm threshold
3.1.5.2 POINT ADDRESSES (SINGLE LINE)

This procedure makes sure that each device cyclically signals its address through a LED flashing
sequence.
More specifically, every 20 seconds each device connected with the line will make a red flashing for each
ten and a green flashing for each remaining unit.
For example, a device with address 47 will make 4 red flashings (4 tens) and 7 green flashings (7 units).
To start the procedure, type in the circuit number and confirm with OK:
CIRCUIT:
After some seconds, the procedure starts and the following message is displayed:
ADDRESS SIGNALLING IN PROGRESS
[ESC] BACK
Then, the points connected to the selected line will start signalling their addresses at the same time, as
described above.
By pressing ESC, the procedure ends.
39/144 FAP54

3.1.5.3 POINT ADDRESSES (ALL LINES)
This procedure is the same address signalling procedure described in the previous chapter applied to all

If the open section is found out or an error is detected during the procedure execution, the following
message is displayed:

ERROR CODE: YYY
[OK]
Please, look at Appendix 8 for an explanation of the error code.
If the error code indicates an open section in the loop, it can be located by the user through the
address/position information.
3.1.6 DELETE ALL THE ASSOCIATIONS
Through this procedure all the associations in the system will be cancelled.
In particular, the following will be cancelled:

- associations between points and groups of points
- associations between output modules and zones
- associations between output modules and groups of points
- associations between output modules and groups of zones
- associations between zones and groups of zones
Even though this procedure affects data structures dealt with in other sections of this manual, it has been
decided to put it in the “circuit” menu. Infact, this procedure is tipically used after circuit initialization which
may have changed the addresses of some points and/or caused point removal.
3.1.7 DELETE EXPIRED ASSOCIATIONS
Through this procedure only the associations which are no longer valid will be cancelled.
In particular, an association is no longer valid when it makes reference to a point which is not present
anymore or whose type has been changed (maybe as a result of an address mixing up) and the new type is
incompatible with the association (e.g. removed point, output module becoming a detector or viceversa, etc.).
The associations undergoing the deletion are:

- associations between points and groups of points
- associations between output modules and zones
- associations between output modules and groups of points
- associations between output modules and groups of zones
Even though this procedure affects data structures dealt with in other sections of this manual, even in this
case it has been decided to put this procedure in the “circuit” menu. Infact, this procedure is tipically used
after circuit initialization which may have changed the addresses of some points and/or caused point
removal.
3.1.8 EVENT LOG
This menu item lets the user access to the local event log of the controlo panel.
The local event log is the log of the events occurred on the control panel and the parts of system it is
connected to.
For further information on this menu, look at section 4.3 but apply the following limitation:
if the control panel is configured as MASTER and it is connected to one or more SLAVES, it is not possible
to gain access to the event log of SLAVE panels from the event log of the MASTER by pressing OK.
Infact, when the MASTER is in the programming menus, the communication with SLAVE panels is not
available and then the master cannot retrieve the strings of the events from any SLAVE.

3.2 ZONE – ZONE PROGRAMMING
Through this menu it is possible to configure the zones and program all the associations with the points and
the output modules.
[1] NAME
[2] ASSOCIATE POINT TO ZONE
[3] ASSOCIATE OUTPUT MODULE TO ZONE
[4] MODE ∨
[5] INCLUDE/EXCLUDE ∧
[6] VERIFY
The zone programming menu consists of the following options:

[1] NAME
It makes it possible to assign a name of max 32 alphanumeric characters to a zone.
[2] ASSOCIATE POINT TO ZONE
It makes it possible to associate the points (evety type but the output modules) with a zone.
[3] ASSOCIATE OUTPUT MODULE TO ZONE
It makes it possible to associate the output modules with a zone.
[4] MODE
It makes it possible to set the zone operating mode.
[5] INCLUDE/EXCLUDE
It makes it possible to include/exclude a zone.
[6] VERIFY
It makes it possible to verify the programming of a zone.
3.2.1 NAME
Type in the number of the zone which must be named and confirm with OK:
ZONE:
The following screen will be displayed. Here it is possible to insert the name:
ZONE: XXX
NAME: XXXXX
While editing, press < to delete the characters already typed in and press > to enter spaces.
After entering the name, confirm by pressing OK.
Then the user is given the possibility to assign the zone name to all the points belonging to that zone:
ZONE: XXX
NAME: XXXXX
[OK] ASSOCIATE ZONE NAME TO ALL POINTS
[ESC] EXIT WITHOUT ASSOCIATING
43/144 FAP54

3.2.2 ASSOCIATE POINT TO ZONE
Type in the number of the zone to be associated with the points and then confirm with OK.
ZONE:
Now enter the coordinated (circuit number and point address) of the first point to be associated and confirm
with OK:
ZONE: XXX
NAME: XXXXX
CIRCUIT: XX
ZONE: XXX
NAME: XXXXX
CIRCUIT: XX POINT: XX
If it is valid (i.e. present and not an output module), the selected device will be displayed along with type
and name.
ZONE: XXX
NAME: Name of the zone
CIRCUIT: XX POINT: XX TP.: YY ∧
NAME: Name of the point ∨
Keys ∨ ∧ are used to scroll the valid points on the selected circuit.
To confirm a device selection press OK.
The confirmation message will be displayed:
ZONE: XXX
CIRCUIT: XX POINT: XX TP.: YY
CONFIRMED
By keeping OK pressed, the successive devices belonging to the same circuit will be associated with the
zone in sequence.
In theory, all the points (not output modules) of the system can be associated simultaneously to the same
zone. Nevertheless, it is good practice to associate no more than 32 points per zone (in order to verify
the number of points currently associated to the zone, use the verification menu, section 3.2.6), otherwise
the system would not be compliant with the standard UNI EN 54-2.
To delete the association between a point and a zone, it is necessary to associate the point with a different
zone. Infact, a point always belongs to a zone (default zone = 480).
The zone 480, in theory fully usable as the other zones, in practice covers the role of temporary storage
area for the points just acquired by the panel at the end of an initialization procedure.
Therefore, it is advisable to move the points just acquired by the panel from the zone 480 to other zones
which the user intends to use. For each of these zones the limit of 32 points must not be violated.

47/144 FAP54

The ALARM CONFIRMATION functionality is described in section 7.12.1 of the UNI EN 54-2 standard. It
can be enabled through the following menu:
ALARM CONFIRMATION (EN54-2 7.12.1)

(T1 = 60s T2 = 60s)
[1] YES
[2] # NO
When this functionality is enabled in the zone, the alarms detected by smoke detectors associated to the
zone are handled as follows:
- Initial condition: the zone is in IDLE state and no timer is running.

- If a smoke detector signals an alarm, the zone starts timer T1 (60 secs).
- While T1 is running, any alarm signalled by smoke detectors associated to the zone is ignored.
- When T1 expires, the control panel resets all the smoke detectors associated to the zone which have
notified an alarm condition while T1 was running. Then, timer T2 (alarm confirmation timer - 60 secs) starts.
- If a smoke detector signals an alarm while T2 is running, the control panel switches to the alarm condition
with the siren output enabled or not (according to its programming mode), otherwise – at T2 expiration – the
zone switches back to the initial IDLE condition.
The ALARM CONFIRMATION functionality can only be applied to zones 1 – 64.
The WEIGHT (range 1 - 5) can be inserted via the following menu. This parameter is meaningful only for
zones programmed in TECHNOLOGICAL MODE and represents the value which the sum of weights of the
points in alarm associated to the zone must reach in order to make the control panel switch tho the alarm
condition with siren output enabled or start the zone delay:
WEIGHT: XX
For zones programmed in TECHNOLOGICAL MODE, the user can activate the signalling during the alarm
condition:

outcome:
PROGRAMMING DONE/FAILED
Please note that the above mentioned device configuration is stored only in the device under consideration,
but it does not affect the data in the circuit module and the control panel.
Also note that when the type of device is changed (which can occurr for MU, LI, PI groups), all the
parameters (delay, operating modes, etc.) of the device which has been assigned a new type are restored
from the factory values.
3.7.4 CONFIGURE REMOTE DEVICE
This function is used to set the configuration parameters of a device already installed and normally
operating on a system detection line, without the need to remove the device from the line and connect it
directly with a module as described in the previous chapter.
Enter the number of the line connected with the device and confirm with OK:
CIRCUIT: XX
The line is powered on (possible malfunctioning will be signalled).
93/144 FAP54

If the line is powered on successfully, enter the address of the point to be configured and confirm with OK:
CIRCUIT: XX
POINT: XXX
After entering the address of the point, the control panel will collect the current configuration parameters.
Should any communication problems occur with the device, the following message will be displayed:
CIRCUIT: XX
POINT: XXX
COMMUNICATION ERROR
If the device is working and answering correctly, the current parameters will be collected and the following
message will be displayed:
CIRCUIT: XX
POINT: XXX TYPE: XX
Please note that while in the local configuration of a point it is possible to change the address of the point,
here this operation is not allowed since the device is installed in a system already configured and whose
devices have already been assigned an address (possibly during a previous initialization phase).
By pressing OK you will access a set of configuration parameters menus depending on the type of
connected device.
If the device is an IO module, please refer to paragraphs 3.7.3.1, 3.7.3.2, 3.7.3.3, 3.7.3.4, 3.7.3.5.
If the device is a manual pushbutton, please refer to paragraph 3.7.3.6.
If the device is a concentrator module, please refer to paragraph 3.7.3.7.
If the device is a bathroom call cord, please refer to paragraph 3.7.3.8.

to paragraph 3.7.3.11.
In order to save the device changed configuration, please refer to paragraph 3.7.3.123.7.3.12; There is a
difference here with the case of local device configuration: in this case, the device configuration, once
stored inside the device, is updated also in the control panel and in the circuit module. It is assumed, in fact,
that the remote device configuration takes place when the control panel has already acquired the field.
In these conditions the fire system can work correctly only if the device information contained in the points,
circuit modules and control panel is always aligned.
3.7.5 UPDATE DEVICE
This menu makes it possible to align the configuration of any point stored in the control panel, the circuit
module and the point itself.
More specifically, the configuration stored in the control panel is transmitted to the circuit module and the
point.

3.7.6 VERIFY TYPE MATCHES
This menu starts a verification procedure on the points located on a circuit selected by the user.
It compares the types of the points stored in the control panel against the real types read by the points in
the field. Any discrepancy will be notified to the user at the end of the procedure.
When the user selects this procedure, he is required to insert the number of the circuit where the procedure
will be run:
CIRCUIT: XX
After the circuit number is inserted and confirmed with OK, the procedure starts and a waiting message is
shown during its execution, along with the number of points checked so far:
PLEASE WAIT
N. POINTS: XX
This procedure scans all the valid addresses (1-128) on the circuit, trying to read the type of each point in
the circuit and comparing the read type with the one stored in the control panel configuration.
Type mismatches between points in the field and in the control panel are detected.
Also, points present in the field but absent in the configuration of the control panel and viceversa are
detected.
If the procedure ends without detecting any mismatch, the following message is displayed:
VERIFY TYPE MATCHES

PROCEDURE COMPLETED
[ESC] BACK
95/144 FAP54

If any mismatch is found, the user is notified with the following message:

6 OM -> --
In the example shown above, 2 mismatches have been detected. The first one regards point 3, stored in
the control panel as a smoke detector (SM), whereas it is really a heat detector (HT). The second mismatch
is related to point 6. For the control panel, point 6 is an output module, whereas in the field it is missing.
3.7.7 DEVICE REPLACEMENT
This function allows the user to change a faulty device with a brand new one.
In order to carry out the procedure successfully, the following conditions must be met:
- a device previously working is now broken
- the faulty device is physically replaced with a new device (address 241) of the same type (if the type of
the faulty device is either OM or LI or PI, the new device does not necessarily have to be of the same
type, but it must belong to the OM, LI, PI group)
- there are no other new devices connected with the circuit except the one replacing the faulty device
First, enter the circuit where the faulty device is located and confirm with OK:
CIRCUIT: XX
The circuit is powered on (possible malfunctioning will be signalled).

If the circuit is powered on successfully, enter the address of the point to be replaced and confirm with OK:
CIRCUIT: XX
POINT: XX
If the point to be changed is already present and working, the procedure ends with the following notification
to the user:
POINT ALREADY PRESENT
If the point to be changed has not been replaced by the new device or the latter is faulty as well, the
BRAND NEW POINT NOT PRESENT OR FAULTY
96/144 FAP54

If the new device has an incompatible type with the one to be replaced, the following message will be
displayed:

Press ESC to go back to the previous menu.
The modem will be recognized when the panel exits the programming phase and returns to the monitoring
phase. During this phase, the panel detects the modem type (PSTN or GSM) and stores this information
into his non volatile memory. If the panel is turned off and then on again with the expansion card
connected, it expects to find the same tipe of modem previously recognized. If a different type of modem is
detected, the panel generates a general fault.
Once recognized, the modem is continually checked. In the case it is disconnected or turned off for more
than 2 minutes, a general fault comes out.
All the actions related to the modem (incoming/outgoing calls, connection setup, hang up) are stored into
the event log. Moreover, the incoming and outgoing calls are also stored into the folder of general events
and can be displayed when the panel is in the monitoring phase.

PHONE NUMBER: X
TEL.: _
By using the keypad, insert the phone number (max 20 characters) and confirm it with OK.
103/144 FAP54

Other than the digits, the following special characters can be inserted (through the keys defined in the table
below) in the string related to the phone number:
Special Meaning Key to use

character to insert
the character
T tone dial the subsequent digits *
P pulse dial the subsequent digits @
, (comma) insert a pause during the dialling phase ∧
W wait for dial tone before dialling the subsequent digits ∨
EVENTS
Each phone number can be associated to the events whose occurrence will make the modem dial the
number.
These events are:
• Alarms
• General faults
• Field faults
• Maintenance
In order for the modem to successfully place a call, it is required that:

- the connection is successfully established and
- the remote application connected to the remote modem sends the correct unblocking password.
Therefore, a call attempt can fail because of problems during the connection setup or even later, when the
connection has been successfully established but the control panel has not received the correct modem
password within a predefined time.
If it fails, the call attempt is repeated indefinitely until it is placed successfully or a global reset is carried out
by the user.
The retries occur according to the following rules:

wach one of the first two retries occurs after 2 minutes since the previous attempt. Then, each subsequent
retry occurs after 5 minutes since the previous attempt. Therefore,
If events of different type associated to the same number occur, the modem will place as many calls as the
number of types of events towards this number.
By pressing 7, the following screen is displayed:
PHONE NUMBER:
After inserting the phone number (1 – 4) to associate to the events, the following screen will be displayed:
PHONE NUMBER: X
AL GF FF MA
* - * -
[1-AL 2-GF 3-FF 4-MA]
104/144 FAP54

In order to cerate/remove the association between the phone number and the event, press:
• 1 for alarms (AL)

• 2 for general faults (GF)
• 3 for field faults (FF)
• 4 for maintenance events (MA)
The * indicates the valid associations.
After having created/removed the desired associations, press OK to confirm them.
Idle timeout: the control panel hangs up any connection (whether it has been generated by an incoming or
outgoing call) not used consecutively for more than 2 minutes. A connection is not used when the control
panel does not receive any command coming from the remote PC application connected to the remote
modem.
PASSWORD
In order to protect the control panel from remote malicious access, once the connection between the local
modem and the remote modem has been established, the remote PC application must send the correct
modem password.
The control panel does not accept any command coming from the remote application until the correct
password is received.
By pressing key 8, the following screen is displayed:

The control panel ID is used to distinguish a control panel inside a network of control panels.
3.8.2.4 MASTER / SLAVE
With FAP54 control panels it is possible to create a network of control panels. Inside this network, one
control panel is a MASTER and all the others are SLAVE. A MASTER control panel can control up to 32
SLAVE control panels. Each SLAVE control panel is an independent entity, but supervised by the MASTER
control panel which groups and communicates locally a set of events occurred on a SLAVE control panel.
To create a MASTER/SLAVE network, each control panel must be equipped with an optional
RS232/RS485 board.
To access the menu item MASTER/SLAVE, it is necessary that the control panel is programmed as
MASTER (see section 3.8.4).
105/144 FAP54

If the control panel has been programmed as SLAVE, there is nothing to be configured and the access to
the MASTER/SLAVE menu will lead to the following message:
PANEL CONFIGURED AS SLAVE
Instead, if the control panel has been programmed as MASTER, the access to the MASTER/SLAVE menu
will lead to the following menu display:
[1] INSERT SLAVE

[2] DELETE
[3] INCLUDE/EXCLUDE
[4] VERIFY
As mentioned above, each control panel in a MASTER/SLAVE network shall be equipped with an
expansion board for communication.
Without this board, the access to each menu item above will be banned and any attempts by the user to
access this menu will generate the following message:

By pressing ESC you will go back to the address menu, so that another SLAVE control panel can be
inserted.
106/144 FAP54

The SLAVE control panels can be added even though they are not physically present. Infact, as soon as a new
SLAVE control panel is added, it is considered as “to be recognized”. The MASTER control panel will try to
recognize the SLAVE control panels added and not yet acquired once it returns to the scanning phase.
When the SLAVE control panel is connected to the MASTER/SLAVE network and is turned on, it will reply to the
polling by the MASTER control panel and, from that moment on, the SLAVE control panel has been recognized.
If an already recognized SLAVE control panel is disconnected by the network, the MASTER control panel detects
the missing communication and generates a general fault.
Please note that in order for a SLAVE control panel to be successfully recognized it is necessary that the address
assigned to the SLAVE control panel by the MASTER is the same address assigned locally to the SLAVE control
panel through the suited menu (see section 3.8.4).

If this card is absent, the access to any item of the menu above will be banned and the following message
will be displayed:
If the expansion card is successfully detected, the above mentioned items will be enabled.
A remote control unit can be enabled also if not physically present: the control panel will identify it when it is
installed, i.e. when it is physically connected with the communication line. After the unit installation and
once identified by the control panel, the possible physical removal from the communication line will
generate a fault.
Therefore, if you want to physically remove a unit, first it is necessary to cancel the unit from the control
panel configuration if the unit is removed definitively, or exclude it if it is removed temporarily.

3.8.7.2 HOTEL RELOAD TIME
This timer only affects the behaviour of the zones programmed in “Hotel” mode.
When the control panel detects a point (belonging to this “hotel” zone) in alarm, it switches to alarm
condition with siren output disabled and loads the timer Tp associated with the point into the Talm2 timer.
As soon as Talm2 expires, the zone switches to alarm condition with siren output enabled.
If another point (of the same zone) detects an alarm beforeTalm2 expiration, Talm2 is compared with the
“Hotel reload time” Th. If Talm2 > Th, the control panel reloads Talm2 with Th, otherwise no reload is
performed.
Whether Talm2 has been reloaded or not, its expiration in any case leads the control panel to the alarm
Enter time (range 0-10, expressed in minutes) and confirm with OK:
HOTEL RELOAD TIME (02):
The maximum loading time is 9 minutes.
When the reload time is set on 0, at the second device in alarm, the zone will automatically switch to the
alarm condition; when the set value is 10, the reload time is disabled and the zone timer is not changed.

4.1 MAINTENANCE
The maintenance operation consists of a set of operations for the control/reset of the system performances.
More specifically, these operation consist of the automatic adaptation of smoke detectors to compensate for
possible dirt in the detection chamber which might worsen the detector performance. When, as a result of
adaptation, a detector reaches a max pre-established value of maintenance, the control panel reports this
event and declares that it is necessary to carry out the detector maintenance (which usually consists in
cleaning the detector).
The maintenance menu consists of the following options:
[1] SET TIME/INTERVAL

[2] MAINTENANCE NOW
[3] VERIFY BY LEVEL
[4] VERIFICATION BY ADDRESS
[1] SET TIME/INTERVAL

It makes it possible to set time and interval for the automatic maintenance execution.
[2] MAINTENANCE NOW
It starts immediately the maintenance operation.
[3] VERIFY BY LEVEL
This procedure finds out the smoke detectors whose average read smoke level is greater (less) than a
predefined user level and, for each one of these detectors, several related informations are shown.
[4] VERIFICATION BY ADDRESS
The same information shown in the “VERIFY BY LEVEL” procedure is retrieved and shown for a device
whose coordinates are explicitly specified by the user.
4.1.1 SET TIME/INTERVAL

To set maintenance time, enter time in the format hh:mm and confirm each figure typed in with OK:
MAINTENANCE TIME: HH:MM
After entering time, it is necessary to select the occurrence of the automatic maintenance:

Confirm selection with OK.
4.1.2 MAINTENANCE NOW

If the user chooses the manual mode, the following screen view will be displayed:
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE IN PROGRESS

PLEASE WAIT
At the end of maintenance, you will go back to the related menu.
If the procedure finds out any detector requiring maintenance, the control panel returns to the scanning
screen and the user is notified about the maintenance events.
Note: during the maintenance procedure, the battery dynamic test will be carried out as well.
117/144 FAP54

4.1.3 VERIFY BY LEVEL
By selecting this item, the following screen view will be displayed with the time and frequency of automatic
maintenance.
This function is particularly useful for programmed maintenance, as it makes it possible to find out
beforehand the detectors about to undergo maintenance. The average read smoke level of a clean detector
without smoke is around 60 points. As time goes by, the accumulation of dirt inside the detector raises the
read value. The control panel automatically notifies the devices requiring maintenance, i.e. the devices
whose average read smoke level is above 120 points. During maintenance, with the support of this
function, it is possible to search for the detectors which have reached high levels close to maintenance,
before the control panel actually detects them.
During preventive maintenance it is advisable to set search on a level value greater than 100 points.
In addition, in the same screen view it is possible to check that the smoke level measured for all the smoke
devices or smoke/heat devices is lower than an established threshold:

OCCURS DAILT/WEEKLY/MONTHLY
REFERENCE FOR MAINTENANCE: __
After entering the threshold, the user shall indicate whether starting search for the devices whose level is
above or below the established threshold:

OCCURS DAILT/WEEKLY/MONTHLY
REFERENCE FOR MAINTENANCE: XX
SEARCH FOR LEVEL: </>
Through keys < and >, the user can choose whether to start search for the devices whose level is
respectively below or above the threshold.
After entering and confirming the search criterion with OK, the user will be asked to enter the circuit where
this operation is to be performed:
CIRCUIT: XX
The system will check all the detectors meeting the search criteria set by the user.
If the search does not produce any results, the following message will be displayed:
REFERENCE FOR MAINTENANCE: > 80
POINT NOT FOUND

[ESC] BACK
Instead, if some devices are found, the information concerning the first device in the list will be displayed:
REFERENCE FOR MAINTENANCE: < 70

The total event counter is the total number of events occurred since the control panel was switched on for
the first time.
120/144 FAP54

The general event counter is the absolute event counter (range 1-ZZZZ).
The partial event counter indicates the number of events occurred since the last time the control panel was
switched on.
This counter can be reset by the user. In this case it represents the number of events occurred in the
control panel since the last time it was reset.
To reset this counter, select the last event and press 0.
During the scroll, the counter is replaced by “----“ for all the events prior to the one corresponding to partial
event counter = zero.
Through keys ∧ and ∨ it is possible to scroll the events.
The history file makes it possible to store up to 1014 events. After the 1014th event, the most recent event
replaces the oldest one.
When the printer is connected with the control panel and it is active, each event stored in the event log is
transmitted also to the printer.
If the control panel has been set as MASTER (see section 3.8.4), access to the event log will generate the
following menu:
EVENT LOG
[1] MASTER
[2] SLAVE
By selecting 1, the local event log will be displayed following the same rules described for SLAVE control
panels, with the following exception:
When the event log of a MASTER displays an event occurred on a SLAVE (and notified to the MASTER),
by pressing OK the control panel jumps directly to the event log of the relevant SLAVE control panel,
starting with the most recent event occurred on that SLAVE.
By selecting 2, it is possible to access to the event log of any SLAVE control panels connected with the
MASTER and already acquired by the latter:
SLAVE ADDRESS: XX
After entering and confirming with OK the address of the SLAVE control panel whose event log is to be
displayed, if the SLAVE control panel is present and has already been identified by the MASTER, its name
will be displayed and the confirmation to proceed will be asked:
SLAVE ADDRESS: XX
Then, the history file will be displayed starting from most recent one:
XXXX/YYYY/ZZZZ SLAVE XX -/+

DD/MM/YY HH:MM
STRING 1 EVENT SLAVE
STRING 2 EVENT SLAVE
The display rules are the same applied to the local event log, the only difference being the indication,
beside to the counters, of the SLAVE control panel address whose event log is currently being displayed.
121/144 FAP54

4.4 PRINT EVENT LOG
This menu lets the user start and stop the print of the event log.
If the printer has not been enabled, when the user selects this menu the following message is displayed:

4.7 TEST
Through this menu, shown below, it is possible to carry out some tests concerning the control panel and
the devices during the normal control panel operation:
[1] ZONE TEST

[2] LAMP TEST
[3] POINT TEST
4.7.1 ZONE TEST
It is possible to carry out a zone test to verify the zone/detector correspondence: when a detector belonging
to a zone under test is in alarm, the control panel switches over to the alarm condition for 10 seconds and
then it goes back to idle position, thus cancelling the alarm condition.
Enter the number of the zone to be tested and confirm with OK:
ZONE: XX
Then the user will be asked whether to enable alarm signals (buzzer, alarm relay and siren output) as a
result of a device in alarm belonging to the zone under consideration:
ZONE: XX
[1] ACTIVATE ALARM SIGNALLING

[2] DO NOT ACTIVATE ALARM SIGNALLING
124/144 FAP54

After selection, the test starts and the user is informed with the following message:
TEST ON ZONE XX
IN PROGRESS
The same message is displayed if the user accesses the zone test menu when a zone test is already in
progress.
The zone test ends when scanning is stopped to enter the programming phase or when the RESET key is
pressed during the scanning phase.
4.7.2 LAMP TEST
The lamp test is necessary to verify the warning lamp (LEDs on the control panel front side) and sound
indicator operation (control panel buzzer) which will turn on for a couple of seconds generating the following
message:
LAMP TEST IN PROGRESS
4.7.3 POINT TEST
FAP54 makes it possible to monitor, during time, 10 devices and to save the measurements made in a
specific storage area. Each storage area can store up to 1024 values, and the acquisition time between a
value and the next one can be defined by the user with a minimum time of 60 seconds. The values
acquired can be viewed through the suitable menu.
If a device turns to the alarm condition, its monitoring will start immediately and the measurements made by
this device will be stored in a dedicated area of the memory.
Besides the 10 storage areas reserved for the tests manually started by the user, there are also 10
additional areas reserved for the storage of the measurements carried out by the same number of devices
in alarm.
Finally, when a device is in alarm, there is a function which makes it possible to view the measurements
made by this device in a time range around the alarm point.
The device test menu consists of the following items:
[1] START POINT TEST

[2] STOP POINT TEST

whole set of 1024 samples.
To go back to the previous menu press ESC.
4.7.3.4 VIEW ALARM DATA
Through this option the user can view the measurements made by a point around an alarm point.
More precisely, if a point is in alarm condition, it is possible to view the 30 measurements before and the 30
measurements after the alarm.
The control panel collects the 60 measurements to be viewed by communicating directly with the point. To
make this communication possible, it is necessary to stop the line scanning, as if the programming phase
were to be started.
Therefore, the access to this function depends on a level 3 password (if enabled).
After entering the password, enter the coordinates of the device in alarm and confirm with OK:
The user is now requested to confirm the retrieval of data (during the retrieval, monitoring will be stopped
for several seconds):
WARNING! MONITORING ON THE CIRCUIT
WILL BE STOPPED
By pressing OK to continue, the data will be collected from the point. During this operation the monitoring
on the circuit is interrupted.
At the end of this operation, the following screen view will be displayed:

5 SYSTEM TEST
When the control panel is in the monitoring phase, the user can enable a system test which disables the
filters involved in the processing of the smoke level signals on all the smoke detectors in the system.
If the system test is enabled, as soon as the smoke level measured by a detector overtakes the alarm
threshold, the detector immediately notifies the alarm to the control panel.
In order to enable the system test, press the MENU key when the control panel is in monitoring phase and
then select the 3rd item:
[1] PROGRAMMING
[2] SERVICE
[3] SYSTEM TEST
If the passwords are enabled, when the user wants to access to the system test item, he/she is required to
insert the level 2 password.
After selecting item 3 in the menu above and inserting the password if required, the following screen is
shown:
SYSTEM TEST
[1] OFF
[2] ON
In this screen, the user can enable or disable the system test condition.
The following constraint apply: the system test condition is mutually exclusive with the zone test; therefore,
if the system test is running, the user cannot start a zone test. Conversely, if a zone test is active, the user
cannot launch a system test.
When the system test is active, a relevant message is shown in the display:
*
FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM
29/09/2009 11:47:54
TEST ACTIVE ON ALL THE ZONES FAP54-4
If a global reset occurs when the control panel is under a system test condition, this condition is maintained
through the global reset.
In order to disable the system test condition, the user can either use the dedicated SYSTEM TEST menu or
enter the PROGRAMMING mode.
130/144 FAP54

6 INCLUDE/EXCLUDE BUTTON
When the control panel is monitoring the field it is possible to include or exclude the circuit, zones, groups,
points, functions or equipment connected with the control panel without switching over to the programming
phase. The access to this menu requires the level 2 password, if enabled.
By pressing INCLUDE/EXCLUDE, the following menu will be displayed:
[1] INCLUDE/EXCLUDE CIRCUIT

[2] INCLUDE/EXCLUDE POINTS/ZONES
[3] INCLUDE/EXCLUDE PERIPHERALS
[4] INCLUDE/EXCLUDE OUTPUTS
By selecting 2, the following menu will be displayed:
[1] INCLUDE/EXCLUDE POINTS

[2] INCLUDE/EXCLUDE ZONES
[3] INCLUDE/EXCLUDE GROUPS OF POINTS
[4] INCLUDE/EXCLUDE GROUPS OF ZONES
[1] INCLUDE/EXCLUDE PRINTER

[2] INCLUDE/EXCLUDE MODEM
[3] INCLUDE/EXCLUDE LCD ANNUNCIATORS
[4] INCLUDE/EXCLUDE SLAVE PANELS
[1] INCLUDE/EXCLUDE SIREN OUTPUT

[2] INCLUDE/EXCLUDE SIREN RELAY
[3] INCLUDE/EXCLUDE AC/EXCL RELAY
[4] INCLUDE/EXCLUDE FAULT RELAY
After selecting the required option, the inclusion or exclusion operation will be carried out in the same way
and with the same menus used in the programming phase
NOTE: the inclusion or exclusion of a circuit leads the circuit to be powered off in the case of exclusion, and
powered on again when it is included. In particular, during power on, the control panel does NOT carry out
field monitoring, therefore possible alarms occurred during this time will not be detected. In order to prevent
any problems due to alarms detected by a detector/module and not promptly accepted by the control panel,
the circuit inclusion/exclusion menu is considered as a shortcut for the corresponding programming menu.
Therefore, the password needed to access this menu is the one of the programming level (level 3). As a
result, if the passwords are enabled and the user previously entered a password of a lower level, the
suitable password will be requested.

8.8 APPENDIX 8 – PROCEDURE ERROR CODES
The table below reports the error codes returned by the circuit module after the failure of a procedure and the relevant
explanation:
Code Error
0 Auto-addressed loop mode initialization: line fault (overload or shortcircuit) at power on.
Check the electrical connections among the circuit line card and the points connected directly
with LA and LB.
1 Auto-addressed loop mode initialization: unexpected voltage on line LB.
A voltage on LB clamps has been detected at the beginning of the initialization procedure;
this voltage is probably due to an unwanted connection between line LA and line LB (please,
note that it is necessary to place at least one point in series between LA and LB).
2 Auto-addressed loop mode initialization: lack of 4 consecutive addresses to assign to a
multiple I/O module.
3 Auto-addressed loop mode initialization: missing answer in current from the point or open line.
The procedure completes correctly when a voltage on LB is detected.
5 Auto-addressed loop mode initialization: missing answer from a point with invalid address or
address 241 (brand new point).
The module could not communicate with the point: check the electrical connections.
6 Missing answer from a point with valid (1 – 128) address.
7 Auto-addressed loop mode initialization: line fault (overload / short circuit) after point
addressing or acquisition.
Check the electrical connections after the just addressed/acquired point.
8 Auto-addressed loop mode initialization: maximum number of points reached and lack of
voltage on LB.
The procedure completes correctly when a voltage is found on LB; warning: do not overcome
