EN 54 & ISO 7240 2-8 Zone Conventional Fire Panel - Installation & Configuration Manual
1 Introduction
1.1 Manual Purpose
The purpose of this manual  is to provide the user with all
recommended procedures and full technical details for the
successful installation, commissioning and configuration
of the EN 54 (and ISO 7240) 2-8 Zone Conventional Fire
Control Panel.
The descriptions and procedures apply to the NFS 2-8
and FLS 2-8 fire control panels.
Procedures described in this manual include appropriate
warnings and cautions to guide the user towards adopting
safe and methodical work practices during the installation,
commissioning and configuration phases.
Important Note
This manual must be read, and its contents clearly understood,
before proceeding with any work relating to the control panel.
Damage to the control panel may result from NOT following
the recommended procedures described in this manual.
If there are any areas of doubt, consult your supplier before
continuing with the system installation, commissioning and
configuration.
1.2 System Design and Planning
It is assumed that the system, of which this control panel is a
part, has been designed by a competent fire alarm system
designer in accordance with the requirements of EN 54 Part
14 and any other local codes of practice, such as BS5839-1,
that are applicable. The design drawings should clearly show
the positions of the field devices and the control equipment.
1.2.1 Personnel
Installation of this product must be carried out only by
suitably-qualified electrical engineers.
1.3 General
The control panels are factory-configured either as 2, 4 or 8
zones. The panel has been tested 
and manufacturer-
approved for use with the following devices:
Apollo: Series 60 Wide Voltage, Series 65 & Orbis.
System Sensor: ECO1000, PhD/Series 800 & Vision.
The panel is self-contained with integral power supply and
space provision for two sealed, lead-acid standby batteries
and complies with the requirements of EN 54 Parts 2 and 4.
The panel functions are microprocessor controlled and test
and  disable  functions are included. Provision is made for
activating up to a maximum of four (with 2-way Relay PCB
fitted)  sounder outputs and day/night mode working.
Provision is also made for up to 2 optional 8-way Relay or 4-
way Sounder  PCBs which can provide a further 4, 8, 12 or
16 configurable outputs.
The panel can accept an unlimited number of manual call
points and a limited number of automatic detectors per zone.
Refer to  Section 8 Specification  for zone current limits.

EN 54 & ISO 7240 2-8 Zone Conventional Fire Panel - Installation & Configuration Manual
As a default, the panel is configured without delays to
outputs. If delays are to be configured, refer to  Section
7.8 Primary & Secondary Delays  for details.
While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the
content of this manual, the manufacturer reserves the right
to change the information without notice.
Installation
The control panel is easy to install providing the
recommended procedures described in this manual are
followed. Once the back box is installed, use something
suitable, such as an anti-static bag, to protect the PCBs
from being damaged. Do not re-fit the front cover until after
all other trades have completed their tasks.
Commissioning
Section 6 , Commissioning  describes the recommended
commissioning procedure for the fire control panel.
Configuration
Section 7 , Configuration  describes all panel configuration
procedures. Configuration is only possible with the control
panel at access Level 3. This requires the front cover to be
removed and a code-entry process to make the panel ready
for site-specific configuration.
Specification
Section 8, Specification  defines all panel operating
parameters.
1.4 CE Marking
This panel is CE Marked to show that it conforms to the
requirements of the following European Community
Directives:
The EMC Directive 2004/108/EEC, by the application of
the following EMC Standards:
EN 61000-6-3: Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Generic emission standard for Residential, Commercial
and Light industrial environments
EN 50130-4: EMC Product family standard: Immunity
requirements for components of fire, intruder and social
alarm systems.
Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EEC, by the application of
the safety standard:.
EN 60950-1: Safety of information technology
equipment.
The Construction Products Directive 89/106/EEC, by the
application of the following standards:
EN 54-2: Fire detection and fire alarm systems - Control
and indicating equipment.
EN 54-4: Fire detection and fire alarm systems - Power
supply equipment.
