Tyco 4100U installation manual Summary Of Australian Version Specifics

Summary Of Australian Version Specifics

Overview	The Australian fire alarm standards differ from those in the USA. Shipping costs from
	USA to Australia are significant, and the Australian market is small compared to the USA
	market. It is therefore necessary to:
	• have an Australian specific panel format that differs from the standard USA panel
	format;
	• have some Australian specific components;
	• limit the number of system components available in the Australian version.
AS4428
	The 4100U Operator Interface does not comply with the AS4428.1 requirements for an
Requirements	FF (Firefighter Facility) that uses only an alphanumeric display for alarm zone status
	indication. The basic firmware of 4100U does not accommodate zones as described in
	AS4428.1. The standard SPS (System Power Supply) does not have the required charger
	and battery supervision and test facilities. Therefore the following are required for an
	Australian 4100U.
	• Use a different Operator Interface front label (overlay) and keypad with “Trouble”
	changed to “Fault”, “Supervisory” changed to “Isolate”. This overlay is also smaller
	and has different text in the instructions on the bottom.
	• Use an Australian version of the message library with “Trouble” changed to “Fault”,
	“Supervisory” changed to “Isolate”.
	• Configure the programmable control keys and indications on the Operator Interface
	with the functions shown in Figure 2-7.
	• Fit 8 Switch/16 LED Red/Yellow modules such that there is one switch plus one red
	and one yellow LED per zone to give individual zone isolate and alarm indications.
	• Configure zone and battery test functionality in custom control.
	The custom control programming requirements are covered in Appendix B.
	• Use an Australian version of the SPS (with a modified pcb and firmware). Because of
	low quantity, only one format is available, and this excludes the standard XPS (2 slot
	wide). The SPS communicates with the CPU Card. Note that in a Brigade connected
	FIP, the SPS controls the Brigade Interface relays. If the CPU Card fails, or if the SPS
	CPU fails, the Fault (Trouble) relay turns on. This watchdog action provided by the
	SPS is statutory.
