 Technical Specification

DETAILED OPERATION
The gas sensors the control panel has
been designed to monitor are Pellistor
type that allow a bridge to be set up.
Each sensor has two elements. One is
open to the atmosphere and one is seal
with special paint.
These elements are fitted into a housing
and this housing is fitted into a Stainless
Steel housing with a Sintered Stainless
Steel filter with a pore density to Iso 2738.
The sensors are wired to the module with
a 3 core cable, one core to each node. To
the panel zone.
Pellistor
The detector head uses the standard
pellistor elements. When a combustible
mixture surrounds the elements, the
flameless catalytic burning produced on the
surface raises the temperature, which in
turn changes the resistance. The re-
sistance of this pellistor is compared by the
Wheatstone Bridge circuit (which forms part
of the Gas detector module) to the
resistance of the second reference pellistor.
The reference element allows automatic
compensation for humidity, pressure and
temperature changes.
There are a number of pellistors available
each with their own specific characteristics
and applications. It is important to check
the suitability for which the pellistors are
intended and the compatibility with the
control equipment.
A Reference a Chart is available giving the
relative values for other calibration gases
Upon receipt of an alarm the relevant
zone indicator will flash and outputs will
operate. Please refer to a typical:
“EDS INSTALLATION” drawing
attached.
Various compatible sensors are
available (compatibly should be checked
with the Sensor suppler before being
purchased or connected).
We have included an “Equivalent Gas
Calibration Chart” to assist in setting up
for alternate sensors.

 Power Terminal Description.
Panel Set-up
Sensor Initial Set-up
When a new Sensor is connected to the main
module it must be set-up correctly. Follow these
steps:
1. Before connecting the sensor ensure the
voltage on the terminal are less than 3V.
2. 31-33 or 34-36
3. Connect the sensor three wires.
4. Adjust the voltage on the sensor to 2.4V
using the Hd-V1 pot or Hd-V2
5. Insert the Program jumper to allow the
memory to be altered.
6. Put the zone that is being set up into
isolate by pressing the Isolate Button on
the front facia. (Only one zone a a time).
7. Press the zero button then the gain
button. Hold both until the bar on the
seven segment displays moves to thr top.
8. After a short while a nominal value of
approximately 50 should be displayed.
9. Either set-up the second zone as above
using Zone 2 controls or simply remove
the programming jumper to inhibit any
erroneous memory writes.
Terminals 1 & 2 supply voltage for external relays
etc. if required. Max Rating 36VDC 1A
3 and 4 allow connection of 2 x 12V 7AHr sealed
lead acid batteries giving nominal 24VDC. Battery
fused at 5A
Terminals 5 & 6 allow connection of a 10,000 uF
50V capacitor to compensate for solenoid surge if
required.
Terminals 7 to 10 allow connection of the Mains
transformer with two 19V AC windings.
Ensure correct phasing before applying power.
Terminal 11 allows connection of earth/ ground
input where this is monitored for fault.
Battery Adjustment
Battery Adjustment should be carried out with a
fully charged battery connected, for a minimum of
five minutes.
The voltage on the battery should be measured
with a multi-meter.
The voltage on the battery should be between
27.4 and 27.6 volts. The voltage is set by
adjusting the multi-turn potentiometer mounted at
the lower left of the main module, marked “BAT”.
2 x 12V 7AHr sealed lead acid batteries
Fuses are fitted to Main Module
Various Fuses are fitted to the Main Module.
These are:
1. Battery Fuse. 5 Amp.
2. Solenoid Fuses F1 and F2. Nominally
1.6Amp.
3. Other fuses are auto reset so they will
recover after the load or short that caused
them to open circuit is removed. These
include
a. MF1 for Sounder and Beacon
b. MF2 for special use.
c. MF3 for Charger Overload
d. MF4 external +24V supply.
No action is needed on these resettable
fuses.
Jumper Description.

Jumpers GH1 allows for the module to initially be set

up without a gas sensor connected. Remove for
normal operation.

Jumpers GH2 allows for the module to initially be set

up without gas sensor two (if applicable) connected.
Remove for normal operation.

Gas pressure jumpers allows setup without pressure

switch connected

Crds jumper allows additional G2 modules to be

connected to the pane. Refer to G2 manual).

Non Latching Fire allow the Fire signal from the Fire
Panel to be Latched on rather than automatically
reset.

GasSol and Sprinkler Sol jumpers give a dummy load

for Panel setup. Remove for normal Operation.

This Jumper must be inserted ONLY when any

function is being programmed. Must be removed for
normal operation.

This jumper is fitted to Enable Relay operation.

This jumper is fitted to Enable Panel Sounder

operation.
 Equipment.
Each Sensor if fitted into the Exp Junction box.

The Gas Sensor is screwed into one of the Junction Box entries.

Any spare junction box ports must have a plug fitted into it.

The sensor cab be mounted to be horizontal or vertically down. The cable entry
must not face upwards to that any rain water etc. does not trickle down the lead and
over time ingress into the junction box.

If the cable come down from above it should loop down so water can drain off. The
cable can then enter from the side or lower entry.

The Junction box should only be opened when it is certain there is no gas
hazard in the area. This can be checked with a hand held gas monitor.

 MAINTENANCE
Sensors should be kept clean and free from
debris and contamination,
Sensors should be re-calibrated every 6
months depending on environment.
DO NO PAINT SENSOR OR HOUSING
All screws should be checked to ensure they
are secure.
SPARES
There are no Panel spare parts to be
changed. If found faulty it should be replaces
with a complete spare module.
Sensors should be replaced when it is no
longer possible to calibrate correctly. This can
in some cases be as little as 6 months but in
most cases it will be several years.
MAINS CABLING
All Cables entering the Control Panel must
Be via Cable glands.. Typically As show
below.
PANEL SITING
The Control Panel must be sited inside the
building (Not suitable for mounting outside)
in a dry location where rain OR hose
cleaning will not wet the panel.
Mains Power to the Panel should be from
the 10A fused isolator box sied as per CD
recommendations within 1M of the Panel.
PANEL MUST BE EARTHED WITH PRO-

 PANEL MOUNTING.
The panel should me fixed directly to a Sup-
port Wall with 4 off No.10 fixing screws 60mm
long. They should be fitted into suitable wall
fixings.
The top two fixing holes are Key Hole type to
assist in levelling the panel. The Lowe two
Holes can be marked and drilled when the
panel is hung on the top two screws.
CABLING
All Cables entering the Control Panel must
be via Cable glands.. Typically As show
below. No loose cables should be allowed.
Where any cores are not terminated these
should be tie-wrapped and secured away
from main panel cabling.
The Mains cable must be 1mm2 double
insulated:

BEFORE any drilling the Chassis should be Line: Brown

removed from the panel by loosening the 4
fixing screws. Do not remove these screws as
the chassis has key hole slots for easy remov-
al and re-fitting. The chassis should be placed
in a safe location and protected from any dirt
ingress.
The Panel should be powered from an exter-
nal Fused, Switched Mains Supply and the
Mains and Earth connections Tested for con-
tinuity with Main Building Supply (230VAC +/-
10%, Line Earth and Neutral) 50-60 HZ
The Panel can easily be carried to its installa-
tion location just prior to fixing within the build-
ing as detailed above. The Panel should not
be sited above 500M with an ambient temper-
ature range of 0 deg. to 45 deg. Celsius.
Humidity range: 0% RH to 95% RH
Ground: Green/Yellow
Neutral: Blue
We suggest Gas Sensors are wired so that
different colours are used for each poll of
each sensor. Repeated for each additional
sensor.
All Cabling MUST comply with Local Au-
thority or Civil Defence requirements.
The Panel should have the inner and outer
door closed when not attended. A key lock
is supplied for the outer door which should
be used to stop any un-authorised access
to the panel.
SPARES

DO NOT SITE PANEL IN DIRECT SUN-
LIGHT
The Panel must be mounted in a well ventilat-
ed room. The Panel may be mounted in Hi-
Rise buildings at a height of less than 1000M.
The Panel MUST be used in a manner as de-
scribed in this Manual.
ALL cables must be suitably secured.
There are no Panel spare parts to be
changed. If found faulty it should be replac-
es with a complete spare module.
Sensors should be replaced when it is no
longer possible to calibrate correctly. This
can in some cases be as little as 6 months
but in most cases it will be several years.
