F3200 Installation & Programming Manual

Document No: LT0122

System Description

 

2.1OVERVIEW

2.1.1GENERAL

The F3200 is a self-contained, modular, intelligent Fire Indicator Panel (FIP) which performs the functions of the Control and Indicating Equipment (CIE) as specified by the Australian Standard AS1603.4 Automatic Fire Detection and Alarm Systems.

It is also available in formats that comply with AS4428.1. Refer to the relevant manuals that apply to the AS4428.1 approved products.

The F3200 has a high degree of flexibility and expandability, catering for medium to very large buildings from 8 zones or less, to 64 zones maximum. Refer to the constraints specified in Section 3.1.3. More panels and zones can be added through the use of the Vigilant Panel-link Network and the appropriate networkable F3200s.

This manual is also used for the installation of an NDU (Network Display Unit). NDU operation is described in Section 11.11. An NDU may be programmed to operate in either Australian mode (default) or New Zealand mode, and the operation of an NDU in New Zealand mode is described in Chapter 12.

2.1.2DETECTOR CIRCUITS

The F3200 detector interface electronics caters for a wide range of detectors, including various types which have high alarm current requirements. It also caters for interfacing to:

Intrinsically safe circuit barriers/isolators (hazardous areas).

Long line circuits e.g. from a sub-indicator FIP.

Tamper-proof circuits e.g. for water valve supervision.

A full range of compatible detectors is listed in the Appendix A.

2.1.3DISPLAYS

The primary display of the F3200 is a 2 line by 40 character LCD on which status messages and prompts are shown. The LCD has backlight illumination which is turned on when there is an alarm or operator interaction.

Common conditions such as zone ALARM, ISOLATED and FAULT, and various system states such as BELLS ISOLATED are displayed on LEDs adjacent to the LCD.

The display panel composed of the LCD, LEDs and operator keypad meets the requirements of AS4050 (int) for a Fire Fighter's Control and Indicating Facility (FFCIF).

As an optional extra, individual zone status (ALARM, ISOLATE and FAULT) can be displayed on LEDs by fitting the appropriate number of 16 Zone LED Display Bds.

The F3200 electronics includes, as standard, an open collector transistor output for each zone which can be used to drive an internal or remote mimic display.
