C1630 Output Interface
This board provides the RS485 communications
between the panel and output modules. It includes
a 7-way DIL switch used to set up the total quantity
of each type of O/P module connected to the panel.
The C1630 is plugged into sockets J4 and J5
located in the upper right hand quarter of the C1627
motherboard, under the fault routing relay. The 2
sockets are dissimilar which assists the correct
fitting and orientation of the board [see Figure 5 and
Figure 6].

4.1 Precept EN 8/16 Expansion
Options
Precept EN 8 zone and 16 zone panels have space
within their standard enclosures for a single I/O
board as shown in Figure 5.
The Precept EN 16 is available in an extended
enclosure with space for two I/O boards as shown
in Figure 6. The 16 zone extended panel has a
supply.
The enclosures are designed to be installed to the
right of the fire panel enclosure. O/P expansion
wiring passes between the panel and expansion
enclosures through a 25mm knockout on the right
of the panel and the left of the expansion box. The
boxes can be joined by a 25mm cable bush to
provide enclosure integrity and mechanical
alignment.
In the unlikely event of more than five modules
being required on a 32-zone panel, these can be
provided in further expansion boxes of five
modules, joined in the same way. The second and
subsequent boxes will require spacing apart to
avoid door interference between the doors when
opening the third and subsequent enclosures.
