NTRODUCTION The range of FP400 fire alarm and detection panels has five models: FP402 of two zones, FP404 of four zones, FP408 of eight zones, FP412 of twelve zones and FP416 of sixteen zones. The series has been designed to cover the needs of small to mid-sized installations such as schools, homes, shops, small and medium-size businesses, etc.
1.4 Series overview This conventional fire panel series has two different housing sizes: Small size: for 2 or 4 zones (FP402 or FP404). Large size: for 8, 12 or 16 zones (FP408, FP412 and FP416). Figure 1: FP416 layout Figure 2: FP404 layout FP400 Series Installation Manual...

NSTALLATION GUIDE This product has been developed in compliance with the EN54-2 and UN54-4 (UNE 23007) standard and have approvals pending. It must be installed by qualified personnel, taking into account the EN54-14 (UNE 23007-14) standard as well as the corresponding local authority’s laws.
2.2 Electrical connections WARNING! The 110 VAC or 230 VAC power must be connected to the power supply through an external magneto-thermal switch. The mains cable should have a minimum section of 1.5 mm². To avoid possible short circuits and interference, the mains cable must be kept away from the zone connection cables and from the communication ports.

In installations with potential radio frequency interference, the use of a twisted, screened cable is recommended. Connect the cable screen to the cable adapter and ensure that the installation is properly connected to earth. 2.2.1 Mains power connection Figure 7: Location of bipolar magneto-thermal switch 1.

Clamp 2.2.3 Connecting batteries The FP400 panels require 2 x12 V batteries of 2.6 Ah for the FP402 and FP404, and 2 x 12 V 7 Ah for FP408, FP412 and FP416 respectively. These are connected in series in order to obtain 24 VDC.

2.2.4 Connecting zones A zone output can only monitor a maximum of 20 detectors or 32 manual call points. Every f zone has only one origin and one end. The last detector or call point must therefore include a 4k7 Ohm end-of-line resistor. It is not allowed to do T-offs of the line or place the end-of-line resistor in the zone output on the main circuit board.
Page 12
2.2.6 Connecting manual call points This fire panel is compatible with all Aritech manual call points. Compatibility with third party products cannot be guaranteed. Refer to your manual call point manual for more information. Some manual call points need a 100 Ohm 2W resistor in serial with the normally open (NO) contact.

2.2.9 Potential free relay output connection These are outputs of potential free relays that can be activated in an alarm or fault situation. The fault output is generally energized. Figure 14: Potential free relay output C NO NC C NO NC 2.2.10 Resetable 24 VDC output This output allows the connection of devices that require to be reset from their power connection (this is the case with the infra-red beams).
Figure 16: Sounder outputs SND1 SND2 Sounder outputs The sounder output is activated and supplies 24 VDC when a zone alarm is activated due to a detector or a manual call point. If a motorized alarm bell is used a diode may need to be installed in parallel in order to avoid the effect of the inverted current Figure 17: Sounder connections 1.

YSTEM START 3.1 System check Before connecting the fire panel to the main power supply check the following points. The fire panel has been properly installed. There is no short or open circuit in any of the zone lines. All end-of-line resistors are installed (see section 2.2.4) If manual call points have been installed, they have a resistor of 100 Ohm 2W in series with their contacts (see section 2.2.6) All required optional configurations (class change, potential free relays outputs,...
