NOTES:
1
- The 8, 16 & 32 zone panels have zonal outputs for zones 1 to 4 only. Additional outputs can be
added via the output expansion boards. An Output Module communication interface board must be
fitted in the panel if output expansion boards are required..
2
- The use of repeaters requires the addition of a Repeater communication interface board.

Switching regulator power High efficiency voltage regulation. Battery charging voltage is
supplies with temperature automatically adjusted between 28.6 and 26.72Vdc over an ambient
o
compensated battery charging temperature range of -10 to +50 C.
Battery disconnect Protects the battery from permanent damage due to over discharge by
automatically disconnecting it when the battery voltage falls to 21Vdc.
Battery Resistance Check Batteries are monitored for high resistance. A fault indication is given if
the resistance exceeds the following values:
1Ω - 2/4-zone panels & repeaters
0.6Ω - 8/16-zone panels
0.35Ω - 32-zone panels
Class change input Operates all sounders for up to 5 seconds.
Configurable detection zones Simple and flexible display-based configuration process allowing
detection zones to be configured for any of the following:
o Latching or non-latching Fire indication.
o Delayed or non-delayed Output operation.
o Normal or Intrinsically-Safe zone monitoring.
o Short Circuit = Fault or Short Circuit = Fire
Factory configuration: Latching, non-delay, standard [non-I.S.],
S/C = Fault.
Active fault monitoring on Reduces zone monitoring current and therefore reduces the required
detection zones. [Non- battery capacity.

Notes:
The Precept EN panel is designed to monitor 22µF capacitors as end-of-line devices on the zones. If the
zone is configured as an Intrinsically Safe zone then the end-of- line device must be changed to a 10k
resistor. In this case the following limitation must be observed:
 The total current drawn by detectors on a zone must not exceed 1.2mA, otherwise the panel may
not detect an open circuit fault on the zone wiring. The standby current drawn by each device will be
given in the manufacturer’s datasheet for the device. To calculate the total number of devices that
may be connected to a zone, add up the individual standby current values for each device and
make sure that the total current does not exceed 1.2mA, including the current drawn by the I.S.
barrier.
 If a galvanic isolator (MTL5061) is used on the zone then this device will draw current. Allow at least
0.1mA for the barrier (this could rise to 0.4mA depending on how much current is drawn by the
detectors).
 The maximum number of devices per zone must not exceed 32, regardless of standby current.
The values in the above table are for guidance only and will vary for individual detectors. Each zone should
be fully checked for correct fault monitoring during installation & commissioning.
