&BRIGADE DISPLAYS

12.8.1GENERAL

An NDU is not normally used as a brigade connection point. If an NDU is used as a brigade connection point then, in general, a separate display panel must be provided if there needs to be zone alarm indication to the attending Fire Brigade staff. The common MAF status display is provided by mounting an NZ Display Extender Board (PA0499 or PA0762), in the NDU cabinet and wiring to display in a separate cabinet in one of three different ways as shown in Fig 12.8.1, 12.8.2, and 12.8.3.

Sixteen-zone display boards are not normally connected to an NDU, but the three diagrams show how they can be connected if necessary. An NDU allows a maximum of four 16-zone display boards and each individual LED (48 LEDs per board) must be controlled using output logic which is generally too cumbersome for normal use.

The second cabinet is necessary because the LEDs mounted inside the NDU cabinet do not meet the requirements of NZ4512 with regard to visibility and viewing access. An NLDU (Network LED Display Unit), can often be used to more conveniently drive 16-zone display boards and show individual zone information as part of the brigade mimic display.

Any Ancillary Control Zone indicators on this external display must be coloured differently or be segregated from the zone alarm and common indicators, and be clearly labelled.

There are several methods for providing a separate display panel. Two approaches are detailed below.

NOTE 1: The information provided here is very similar to the information in the RDU

installation manual LT0148 which may be useful to refer to.

NOTE 2: As stated above, 16 zone display boards are not normally connected to an NDU, nevertheless, the following sections describe how to do it if necessary. If an NLDU is used to drive 16 zone display boards, then the NLDU user manual LT0188 must also be referred to.

12.8.2MIMIC DISPLAY

A mimic display uses the mimic outputs from the NDU’s internal 16 Zone LED Indicator Boards to drive alarm LEDs in an external display. Each group of 16 zone alarms and the common indicators are extended in a separate 26 way FRC to the external display.

The number of FRCs between the NDU and the external display limit the practical separation distance. Since the cabling is not supervised in any way, the Fire Service or approving authority may place restrictions on this distance. The cable must be well protected mechanically by conduit, trunking or equivalent.

These parts are available for constructing displays of this type:
