	System Description

2.2	PHYSICAL STRUCTURE

The F3200 has a rugged, lockable painted steel cabinet, which houses 19 inch rack-mount equipment and comes in two height options (both have the same width and depth). The standard cabinet accommodates 15U total and the small cabinet accommodates 8U (where 1U = 1 3/4" = 44.5mm).

The Operator Display has a screened, polyester overlay mounted on a hinged inner door fitted to the top 4U position. The Controller/Display pcb mounts directly to the rear of this door.

Standard Cabinet

In the standard cabinet the space below the 4U Operator Display panel is covered by a blanking plate, but there is provision for mounting other equipment (e.g. a 7U hinged inner door for a mimic, or 16 Zone LED Display Bds), in place of this blanking plate.

There is provision for mounting additional equipment in the bottom 4U (e.g. an AS1668 control rack), but this would encroach on battery space.

The outer door has a large acrylic window to allow viewing of the equipment inside.

Four versions of FIP are available in this cabinet. The FP0551, which caters for up to 64 zones, has a cardframe fitted to the rear wall as shown in Fig 2.2.1. The FP0550 has provision (pcb stand-offs) for mounting up to three 8 way modules (i.e. 3 x 8 Zone or 8 Relay Modules) on the rear wall. Both are supplied with 1 8 Zone Module fitted.

Versions of these two FIPs are also available with a 6 Amp power supply:

FP0713 (8 module capacity), and FP0712 (3 module capacity).

Small Cabinet

In the small cabinet, only 1U (of the 4U) below the 4U Operator Display is visible through the outer window. The gap is covered by a blanking plate (2U), which can be replaced by a bracket for mounting a limited range of equipment, eg. a 1U AIU bracket, or a 1U 1 Zone Gas Control Panel.

A 6A PSU or a 7U LED Display door cannot be fitted.

Up to four 8 way modules can be mounted on the rear wall, but the bottom two of these share space with the batteries. Mounting arrangement and maximum capacity are shown in Fig 2.2.2.

Only one FIP is available (FP0583), and this comes with one 8 Zone Module fitted (in the top left position).
