POWERING AN F3200 FROM AN EXTERNAL DC SUPPLY (CONTINUED)

Without a mains connection, F3200 will indicate “Mains Fail” in a system fault recall but this is not actually a fault and can be ignored.

WIRING

Disconnect the secondary wires of the transformer from the AC IN tabs on the MAF/PSU. Cable tie them safely out of the way (if the mains is not connected they will not be live).

Connect the DC supply –ve to the BATTERY – terminal, and the +ve to the BATTERY + and, if the mains power on LED is to be lit, to the J3/1 AC IN tab on the MAF/PSU. This requires a 2mm crimp receptacle (or alternatively may be soldered and preferably covered with sleeving).

If the maximum alarm load can be greater than 3.5Adc, but less than 7A, fit a second PTC (Vigilant part RR0917) to the R43 position on the MAF/PSU (adjacent to the existing PTC, R42). If the alarm load can be greater than 7A then short out the PTCs (connect TP16 to TP11) and fuse the external supply with a sufficient rating to meet the maximum alarm load, but not so high as to not blow on a short circuit or wiring fault.

The +VNBF output (J7A) must not be used.

CURRENT CALCULATIONS

Add an extra 80mA to the stated F3200 quiescent and alarm currents if the connection to the J3/1 AC IN terminal is made (the connection to J3/1 is optional).

PROGRAMMING

If battery low monitoring is enabled, a Battery Low Fault will occur if the supply voltage falls below a specified threshold.

If the version of software installed supports them (not all do), then the following parameters should be set as shown. All values are disabled by default.
