3.4.3 Detection Loops

• The control panel supports analogue detectors with a digital, data transmission system. It provides power
and communicates with the initiating devices over a two-wire circuit.
• Depending on protocol, it is possible for up to 1000 addressable input

EN54-2 13.7 points to be connected to the panel.
EN54
! Maximum of 512 • To comply with EN54-2 requirements, a maximum of 512 sensors /
sensors / MCP’s MCP’s (input points) only should be connected to the control panel
per panel. across all analogue detection loops. This limit includes any
conventional detectors / call points connected to the system via zone
monitors.
The detection circuit should be separated from other cable runs to minimize the risk of
external interference. Under extremely noisy conditions, twisted pair wire is
recommended to reduce interference.
The Detection Loop Circuits are supervised and power limited.
• Shielded cable should be used for all detection (SLC) circuits. It is important that the shield is always
terminated to a good earth connection at both ends of the loop. Mineral insulated copper cable (MICC) is
recommended for the best screening purposes. However, most of the established brands of fire related
screened cables are suitable. Refer to Section 3.4.13 for a list of recommended cables.
• The core size, length of wiring run and detection circuit loading will produce a voltage drop along the
length of the cable. To determine if the installed loop driver can fully support the planned loop
configuration, use the detector manufacturers’ calculations for voltage and capacitance.
ALWAYS check that conductors of appropriate diameter are used so that the voltage at
the detectors is within the detector manufacturer’s specification.
The maximum permitted impedance for the SLC Loop is 40 ohms. This must be reduced if
loop powered sounders are installed.
• The following table lists the maximum recommended cable loop lengths for each detection loop type.
Wiring to external devices should follow the appropriate manufacturer’s instructions.

Nittan 1 km 0.8km 1 km 1 km
Table 2 – Maximum Loop Lengths
• NOTE 1: Cable runs in excess of 2km are not recommended. Otherwise, cable capacitance (Max. 0.5uF
per loop) and inductance may start to interfere with data transmission. Refer to the manufacturers’ quoted
figures for maximum cable capacitance.
• The SLC (detector) circuits should be installed as loops with or without isolator modules. The wiring
details are as described below.

EN54-2 12.5.2 For best results and system integrity:

EN54 The detection loop circuit should be wired as a loop with short
! Maximum of 32
sensors / MCP’s circuit isolators. This will allow the system to still function, even if a
between Isolator. section of the cable becomes open circuited. It is recommended that
Short circuit isolators be fitted to the detection loop to prevent an
external short circuit from removing more than 32 addressable
points from the system.
• The detection loop connections are made on the terminal blocks at the top of the base card.

• Proceed with installing wiring, around the loop,
connecting all devices – see below.
• Return the wiring to the positive and negative
terminals at the other side of the connector on the
base card.
• Ensure that all devices connected to the loop are
correctly oriented for positive and negative

• It is recommended that Short Circuit Isolators be installed. Install the isolators at strategic points in the
loop (i.e. zonal boundaries) to prevent an external short circuit from removing more than 32 addressable
points from the system. Note: The loop driver modules have built-in isolators so it is not required to place
isolator modules on the outputs of the FACP.

3.4.3.3 Panel Loop Loading

• Care must be taken to ensure that the number of signalling loop devices (inputs and outputs) installed
does not exceed the power supply ratings of each individual loop driver board and of the panel (all loops)
in both quiescent and alarm conditions.

2. Overall Panel Load (Refer to Specification Tables – Section 6).

3.4.4 Sounder Circuits

• The XLS40e and XLS50e Fire Alarm Control Panels have two power limited and supervised sounder
circuits, identified as sounder circuits A and B.
• The XLS60e Fire Alarm Control Panel has four power limited and supervised sounder circuits, identified
as sounder circuits A, B, C and D.
• Each circuit has a maximum rating of 1 Amp.
• Each sounder output is monitored for open and short circuits. An end-of-line (EOL) resistor (6.8KΩ, 0.5W
minimum, P/N 170-073-682) must be fitted to the last sounder on the circuit.
• Each sounder should have an integral blocking diode that prevents the sounder from consuming any
power in the normal monitoring position. The polarity of the sounder output is reversed when the sounder
circuit is energised. This allows the sounder to turn on.

• The XLS60e Fire Alarm Control Panel supervises and charges the two 12-volt batteries that make up the
standby power source. Batteries are available commercially and should be of the sealed lead acid type.
Suggested suppliers for the Batteries are Yuasa and Powersonic.
• Use the current rating chart, along with the following formulae, to determine the size of the batteries to
satisfy the specific installation conditions.
• Batteries with capacity greater than 24Ah should be installed in a separate enclosure that is suitable for
Fire Protection Use such as Battery Box – 797-025-001, with wiring connected to the panel through
conduit.
4.1 Sensor Current Calculations
4.1.1 Quiescent Load

• Refer to the manufacturers’ published data sheets for the supply current required by each sensor type in
normal mode. Take into account the figures quoted for whether the detector LED flashes when the
signalling device is addressed – refer to the Commissioning manual for details of the Setup parameter to
turn this blinking on / off.
• Calculate the total current required by the sensors connected to all signalling loops. This should be based
on the quantity of each device installed and the supply current required for the device.
4.1.2 Alarm Load

• Refer to the manufacturers’ published data sheets for the supply current required by each sensor type.
• Calculate the total current required by the sensors connected to all signalling loops. This should be based
on the quantity of each device installed and the supply current required for the device as above.
• When a fire alarm condition is registered, the panel will turn on the sensor LED indicators for the first four
sensors that register an alarm. Refer to the manufacturers’ data sheet for the current supply required for
these LED indicators.
• Calculate the total current required by any loop driven sounders or output modules active in alarm
conditions. NOTE: The LED of all activated System Sensor output modules will be turned ON.
4.1.3 Adjustment Factors

• The figures calculated for sensor current, above, should be multiplied by the following adjustment factors
before being used in the Current Rating Chart.
1. For Apollo and Hochiki devices: multiply by 1.5
2. For Honeywell, System Sensor and Nittan devices: multiply by 1.25
4.2 Local Systems Ampere Hour Calculation

• Use the following formula to calculate the size of
batteries required for the installation. C = Total A * 24 hours
• These installations require a standby period of 24 hours D = Total B * 0.5 hours
plus thirty minutes of alarm operation at the end of the
standby period. Battery Ah = 1.2 * (C + D)

5 Maintenance
5.1 Maintenance Schedule
• The following Maintenance routine as recommended in EN54-14 should be adopted.
5.1.1 Daily Attention

• The user should check the following:
1. The panel should indicate normal operation & if not the fault should be recorded in a logbook &
reported to the servicing organization.
2. Any faults previously reported have received attention.
5.1.2 Monthly Attention

• The user should check the following:
1. Any stand-by generators should be started and fuel levels checked.
2. At least one call point or detector (from different zones each month) should be operated to test the
fire panel and any connected alarm/ warning devices.
3. Where permissible, any link to the fire brigade or remote manned centre should be operated.
• Any faults should be recorded in the log book & corrective action taken as soon as possible.
5.1.3 Quarterly Attention

• The service organization should arrange to test the following:
1. Check entries in the logbook & inspect the panel’s log, taking appropriate remedial action where
necessary.
2. Examine all battery connections.
3. Check the alarm, fault and ancillary functions of the control and indicating equipment.
4. Visually inspect the control and indicating equipment for any moisture ingress or other
deterioration.
5. Enquire if any structural alterations have been made which could affect the operation of call points,
detectors or sounders, if so carry out a visual inspection.
• Any defects should be recorded in the logbook and corrective action taken as soon as possible.
5.1.4 Yearly Attention

• The service organization should arrange to test the following:
1. Carry out the test & inspection routines recommended daily, monthly & quarterly.
2. “Walk Test” the system and check that each detector operates in accordance with the
manufacturers recommendations.
3. Visually inspect all cable fittings and ensure equipment is secure, undamaged and adequately
protected.
4. Examine and test all batteries NB: Note the expected operating life shown in section E.
• Any defects should be recorded in the logbook and corrective action taken as soon as possible.

5.2 Replacement of Components

• All components used in the control panel have been chosen for high reliability and long life. The
manufacturers’ data on the following items indicates that they may have a life expectancy of less than 15
years and so may need to be replaced in the future.
5.2.1 Lithium Standby battery
CAUTION: A Lithium Battery is used for Data Retention.

Replace only with the same or equivalent type. Contact the Service Organisation for
Replacement CPU Card.
Manufactures expected life - In excess of 10 Years
Recommended replacement - 10 years for panels in continuous service. 4 years for CPU cards
held as spares and not powered up.
5.2.2 Liquid Crystal Alphanumeric Display
Manufactures expected life - In excess of 10 Years.
Recommended replacement - When the display becomes difficult to read.
• The LED backlit liquid crystal display gives a life that is significantly better than most other display
technologies. The contrast of the LCD will gradually deteriorate as this part ages. This item can therefore
be changed when normal contrast starts to fade.
5.2.3 Standby Batteries
Manufacturers expected life - 3-5 years at an ambient temperature of 20 Celsius, NB life decreases
approximately 50% for every 10° Celsius increase in temperature.
Recommended service - Contact Battery manufacturer / supplier
Recommended Suppliers - Yuasa

Types - 7AH Model#: NP7-12
- 12AH Model#: NP12-12
- 17AH Model#: NP18-12
- 24AH Model#: NP24-12B
Before installation.
New Batteries require ‘top charging’ prior to being put into service.
Yuasa recommend top charging at 28.8V DC for 15 – 20 hours for batteries up to 6 months
old from data of manufacture.
It is normal for lead-acid type batteries to discharge hydrogen whilst being charged. The
panel is adequately ventilated to dissipate this hydrogen.
DO NOT seal the panel enclosure or mount the panel in a sealed enclosure or cavity.
Dispose of batteries in a responsible manner and in accordance with any local

regulations.
