condition or the operation of a manual call point. EN54-2 Section 7.8: (option with requirements).
In addition to the requirements of EN54-2, all control panels have voltage free relay contacts for fire and local fire
which operate upon a fire condition. These are to be used for local control and signalling.
The following compulsory functions required by EN12094-1 are included:
4.3.2a Reception and processing of at least one input triggering signal from an f.d.a.s and an input triggering signal
from manual triggering device(s) connected directly to the e.c.d.
4.3.2b Transmission of the extinguishing signal upon receipt of input triggering signal(s).
4.3.2c Activation of alarm devices upon receipt of input triggering signal(s).
4.2.2d Unambiguous indication of each condition.
4.2.3e Transmission of the information of the incorrect ststus of components and of the fault warning condition.
4.3.2f Transmission of the information of the released condition.
In addition to the compulsory requirements of EN12094-1 the control panel has the following facilities:
Delay of extinguishing signal of up to 60 seconds. EN12094-1 Section 4.17: (option with requirements).
Signal representing the flow of extinguishing agent to indicate the released condition. EN12094-1 Section 4.18: (option
with requirements).

Although the current consumption of many detection devices would allow more than 32 to be connected to a zone,
this number should be limited to 32 to ensure that a short or open circuit on the wiring does not prevent the
indication of a fire alarm from more than 32 fire detectors and/or call points as required by European standard
EN54-2. If an active end of line LCMU (K14060) is used fit a maximum of 20 detectors per zone.

4. Control panel fascia’s
This drawing shows the fascia’s of the models available in the Sigma XT+ range.
K21021M3 K21041M3 K21042M3 K21081M3
K21082M3
K21083M4 K21084M4
The fascia’s are divided into sections for the detection panel and extinguishant modules. A standard EN54-2 control
and indicating equipment section with up to eight zones is located in the top aperture of the panel fascia and
EN12094-1 extinguishant modules are fitted in the lower apertures.

4.1 Removing the fire detection equipment chassis
Open the control panel lid using the two 801 lock keys.
Before the chassis can be removed it will be necessary to disconnect the power connector terminal block on the left
hand side of the PCB. This is fitted on pins and can be pulled towards you to remove it. Do not remove the wires
from the terminals.
The chassis is held in place by two screws. Undo the two screws and lift the chassis gently away from the box
towards you.
With the chassis removed, there is much more room inside the panel for making off and dressing cables.
When cabling work is complete, the chassis can be re-fitted with the two screws and the terminal block plugged
back onto the pins on the board.
The extinguishant module chassis should not be removed.

5. Connecting to the circuit boards
All connections for field wiring are to rows of terminals along the top and bottom of the
circuit boards.
Shielded fire alarm cable such as FP200 and metal cable glands must be used for all connections to the panel.
The shield of the cable must be bonded securely to the enclosure earth via a metal cable gland.
The resistance of any core of any cable must not exceed 25 ohms. The shield of the cable must be bonded
securely to the enclosure via the metal gland.
Wiring should enter the enclosure at the top or back of the panel using the knockouts provided and be formed tidily
to the appropriate terminals ensuring that no cables are run close (minimum 50mm) to the surface of any of the
circuit boards.
Route mains cables away from all other cables and segregate by 50mm.
Terminals are capable of accepting wires of up to 2.5mm2.
Wiring must not go across the front of the circuit boards. If cable entries need to be in positions other than at the
knockouts provided, wiring must be fed behind and well away from the surface of the circuit board.
The space at the bottom of the enclosure is largely occupied by the standby batteries so this must be borne in mind
when considering cable entries.

Detection panel terminals

Extinguishant panel terminals

6. Detection zone wiring
The detection zones provide a nominal 20V DC to power conventional detectors and call points as listed in the
compatibility tables 2 and 3.
The wiring is monitored for open and short circuit fault conditions by removing the 6K8 0.5W end of line monitoring
resistors that are supplied fitted to the control panels’ terminals and placing them across the last device that is wired
to the zone circuit.
Detection zone circuits must be wired as a single, radial circuit with no spurs or T junctions to enable the monitoring
circuit to work correctly.
For systems that are required to comply with BS5839 Part1:2002 detector removal requirements, either detector
bases fitted with a Schottky diode should be used and the end of line resistor replaced with an LCMU active end of
line monitoring device or zener clamping bases such as Hochiki PA6 or Apollo Savwire used.

7. Sounder circuit wiring (alarm devices as required by EN12094-1)

All sounders must be of the polarised type. If non-polarised sounders are used the control panel will permanently
show a fault condition. See table 4 for a list of compatible sounder types.
Sounder circuits are monitored for open and short circuit faults by placing a 10K 0.25W end of line monitoring
resistor across the last device on the circuit.
Sounder circuits must be wired as a single, radial circuit with no spurs or T junctions to enable the monitoring circuit
to work correctly.

8. Using intrinsically safe barriers
SIGMA XT+ control panels support the use of I.S. barriers for connecting to equipment in hazardous areas.
Only certified detectors, call points and sounders may be used in hazardous areas and these must be
connected to the control panel via a compatible I.S. barrier as listed in table 5.
Connection of the I.S. barrier changes the characteristics of the detection circuit so zones that have I.S. barriers
connected must be adjusted to work with them.
Programmable options C61 to C68 on the detection section allow each zone to operate with I.S. barriers.
The amount of detectors and call points that can be connected to a zone is limited by the I.S. approval system
diagram which should be supplied by the detector manufacturer. The power rating of the end of line resistor will be
dependent upon the Zone classification rating (Gas class) this will be specified on the system diagram.

9. Connection to monitored inputs
Monitored inputs (Mode select, manual release, Hold, Abort, Released pressure switch and Low pressure switch)
have the same characteristics as detection zone inputs and require a 6K8 0.5W end of line monitoring resistor and
a nominal, 470 ohm 1 W trigger resistor.

10. Connection to extinguishant output
The extinguishant output is capable of supplying up to 1 Amp for the maximum duration to a solenoid or 3 Amps for
20 milliseconds to an igniting actuator or Metron.
The wiring for solenoids and igniting actuators is different as shown below. Igniting actuators of different types or
from different manufacturers should not be mixed on the same circuit.
10.1 Solenoid wiring

Solenoids must have a resistance of greater than 28 ohms to ensure that the maximum current rating of the
extinguishant output is not exceeded.
Solenoids should be fitted with a suppression diode to prevent EMF generated by the solenoid when it de-energises
from upsetting the operation of the control panel.
Only polarised solenoids (i.e. solenoids fitted with an internal polarising diode) should be used.

10.2 Igniting actuator wiring
A maximum of four igniting actuators can be wired in series. If only one or two actuators are fitted, a 2R2, 2.5 Watt
resistor must be wired in series with them to provide the correct monitoring resistance. The end of line diode can
be discarded when igniting actuators are used.

To guarantee firing under all conditions, the total resistance of actuators, monitoring resistor and cable should not
exceed 7 ohms.
10.3 Setting up extinguishant monitoring circuit

The extinguishing output circuit is factory set to monitor the end of line diode that is fitted to the terminals and will
normally show a value of around 270.
If the parameters of the extinguishant output change e.g. by connecting a solenoid in parallel with the monitoring
diode or removing the diode and fitting igniting actuators, then the extinguishing output monitoring level will need
to be “learnt”. See section 15.2 for details. To do this, operate the enable controls keyswitch to put the system into
access level 2.
The LCD will show:
Ac c e s s l e v e l 2 ►
E NT E R f o r Me n u
Operate the WRITE ENABLE switch by gently sliding it to the left. The LCD will show:
A L 3 Up d a t e s = x x
Press the ENTER button and then the UP button repeatedly until the LCD displays:
E x t i n g . O/ P 1
L e v e l = XX X
The XXX displayed here is the previous (factory) level to which the monitoring level had been set.
Press the ENTER button. The LCD will now show:
E x t i n g . O/ P 1
L e v e l = XX X ?
The XXX shown here is the current monitoring level detected on the extinguishing output. Press the ENTER button
to learn the new monitoring level.
Press the UP button to set the monitoring level for output 2 in the same way if it is being used, otherwise switch the
write enable slide switch to the right (off) position and check that an open or short circuit fault on the extinguishing
output(s) is detected and shown on the control panel.

11. Connection to remote control terminals
Some functions of the control panel can be controlled externally from the panel if required. The external equipment
operating inputs must be restricted by an access level 2 control as defined in EN54-2 The functions are
abbreviated at the terminals block on the detection zone PCB in the top part of the control panel as follows:
a) Remote 0 V supply – ROV

b) Silence Alarm – SIL (Silences sounder outputs S1 &S2)
c) Sound Alarm – AL (Operates sounder outputs S1 & S2)
d) Fault – FLT (Generates a general fault and operates the fault relay)
e) Reset – RST (Resets the system back to normal condition)
To activate these inputs, the remote 0 Volt (R0V) supply must be connected to the input via a normally open switch
or contact and via a resistance of no greater than 100 ohms.
All of the remote control inputs are non-latching.
R0V SIL AL FLT RST
SILENCE ALARM INPUT
SOUND ALARM INPUT
FAULT INPUT
RESET INPUT
12. Aux 24V DC supply outputs (extinguishant modules only)

The terminals for the Aux 24V supply are labelled Aux 24V + and ROV. The ROV terminal is the negative terminal.
It is possible to have the Aux24V supply outputs removed for a few seconds when the panel is reset.
Aux 24V not removed upon reset is set as default on the extinguishing modules. To change this, switch the system
to access level 2 by operating the enable control keyswitch and then operate the extinguishing module WRITE
ENABLE switch by gently sliding it to the left.
The LCD will show:
A L 3 Up d a t e s = x x
Press the ENTER button and then the UP button repeatedly until the LCD displays:
R0 V No t Re mo v e d
On S y s t e m Re s e t
R0 V No t Re mo v e d
On S y s t e m Re s e t ?
R0 V Re mo v e d
On S y s t e m Re s e t
Press the exit button.
The Aux 24V supply outputs are fitted with an electronic, self resetting fuse rated at 0.5 Amps to protect the control
panel’s 24V supply in the event of a wiring fault. The Aux 24V outputs should not be loaded with any more than
100milliamps per module.
Any standing load on the Aux 24V supply outputs must be taken into account when calculating battery standby times
as standby time will be significantly affected by even modest standing loads on these outputs. It is recommended
that the Aux24V outputs are not used to power standing loads.
Where the Aux 24V supply outputs are used to power electromechanical devices such as relays or door retainers it
is imperative that a suppression diode is fitted across the coil of the device to prevent the generation of high voltage
transients back to the control panel power supply.

13. Connection to relay contacts
Volt free changeover relay contacts are provided for local control and signalling if required. These contacts are rated
for switching signalling circuits only and the maximum ratings listed in table 1 should not be exceeded under any
circumstances.
Typically, the Aux 24V outputs of the control panel are switched through these relays and used to control other
systems.
13.1 Common Fault relay (on detection part of control panel)

The common fault relay is normally energised and will de-energise upon any fault condition on the detection part or
the extinguishing part of the control panel including total loss of power.
The fault relay can be disabled by setting configuration option 22 at access level 3 as shown in the Fire Detection
configuration options table.
13.2 Fault relay (on extinguishing part of control panel)

These fault relays are normally energised and will de-energise upon any fault condition on the extinguishing module
or total loss of power. These relays provide individual “flooding zone fault” outputs
13.2 Local fire relay (on detection part of control panel)

The local fire relay will energise upon activation of a fire condition on any of the zones or pressing of the sound
alarm button on the front panel. The relay will remain activated until the alarm is silenced or the panel is reset. This
relay will not operate upon activation of the remote AL input or when a fire condition is triggered on a zone that is
in test mode. This makes the Local fire relay suitable for inter panel signalling without the panels latching each
other.
13.3 Fire relay (on detection part of control panel)

The fire relay will energise upon activation of a fire condition on any of the zones or pressing of the sound alarm
button on the front panel. The relay will remain activated until the alarm is silenced or the panel is reset. This relay
will not operate upon activation of the remote AL input and the Silenced/ Sound Alarm button. The fire relay can be
disabled by setting configuration option 26 at access level 3 as shown in the Fire Detection configuration options
table.
13.4 1st stage alarm relay (on extinguishing modules)

First stage alarm relays will operate upon activation of a zone that has been configured to contribute to the
extinguishant release and will de-activate only when the panel has been reset.
This relay will also operate upon activation of the panel mounted or a remote manual release switch. The stage 1
relay output can be disabled at access level 2 via the menus on the Sigma XT+ module.
13.5 2nd stage alarm relay (on extinguishing modules)

Second stage alarm relays will operate when the panel enters the activated condition (i.e. the release countdown
timer has started) and will de-activate only when the panel has been reset from the released condition.
The stage 2 relay output can be disabled at access level 2 via the menus on the Sigma XT+ module.
13.6 Released relay (on extinguishing modules)

The released relay on the extinguishing module will operate when the module enters the released condition either
by being activated automatically via detection zones or by being activated by a manual release input. The released
relay will also operate if the panel enters the released condition via the released pressure switch input.
The Released output can be disabled at access level 2 via the menus on the Sigma XT+ module.
13.7 Aborted relay (on extinguishing modules)

Aborted relays will operate when the panel is in the aborted condition via an abort switch input.
13.8 Extract relay (on extinguishing modules)

The extract relay will operate when selected at access level 2. This provides a means to vent a room of extinguishant
gases but prevents the gases from being vented during a discharge.
To switch on the extract relay, operate the enable keyswitch and then press ENTER on the module on which the
required Extract relay is fitted.
The LCD will show:

E X T RA CT OUT P UT ?
Pressing ENTER again with turn the extract output off.

14. Connection and configuration of status units and ancillary boards
The control panel should not be powered during the connection of status units or ancillary boards.
Status units and ancillary boards require a four-wire connection from the associated extinguishing module, which
drops into each unit and connects to the corresponding data and power, in and out terminals. Two of the cables
carry power to the units (24V) and the other two carry data. A four core cable suitable for carrying RS485 data
should be used. If this is a twisted pair cable then one twisted pair should be used for the data connections and the
second pair used for the power connections.
When fitting status or ancillary boards, link LK2 must be removed from the rear of the extinguishant module. The
last status unit connected to the serial bus will have a terminating link fitted as described in manuals MAN-1089 and
MAN-1095.

REAR VIEW OF EXTINGUISHING MODULE
Each status unit and ancillary board has a 3-bit DIL switch and must be allocated a unique address between 1 and
7. A maximum of 3 status units or Ancillary boards can be powered from the extinguishing module 24V output.
More units should use external 24V power supply.
The system is able to distinguish between status units and ancillary boards so it is possible to have a status unit set
to address 1 and an ancillary board set to address 1 if desired.
ADDRESS SWITCH POSITIONS

The address switch is located on the bottom left hand corner of the status unit or ancillary board PCB. Note: The
address is only read when the boards are first powered or if the processor reset switch on the ancillary board or
status unit is pressed, so address switches should not be altered on a system that has power applied.
It is important that each individual status unit and ancillary board is allocated a unique address in the range 1 to 7.
Units of the same type with the same address will cause intermittent faults to be displayed.
NOTE: 10 lamp status units (models K911113M8, K911113F8 and W911113W8) are not compatible with Sigma XT+
extinguishant modules.

14.1 Adding new status units/ancillary boards
When the system is powered up, it will search for connected status units and/or ancillary boards connected to
extinguishant modules.
If status units or ancillary boards are fitted and detected by the control panel, the LCD will display:
X F A UL T S ► X = the number of faults

E NT E R T O V I E W
Press ENTER on the module to which the status units or ancillary boards are connected with the ENABLE control
switch keyswitch off and use the UP button on the module to view the faults. If status units and/or ancillary boards
are detected the LCD will display:
S T A T US UNI T X X = the address of the status unit found

F A UL T
Or
out put uni t x X = the address of the ancillary board found

f aul t
To accept the status units and/or ancillary boards found, turn the ENABLE controls keyswitch on and slide the WRITE
ENABLE switch on the module to which the status units or ancillary boards are connected gently to the left.
The LCD will then display:
S T A T US UNI T X X = the address of the status unit found

E NT E R T O A CCE PT
Or
out put uni t X X = the address of the ancillary board unit found
When the ENTER button is pressed on the module to which the status units or ancillary boards are connected, the
selected status unit or ancillary board will be added to the system and the next unit to be added will be displayed.
Press the ENTER button on the extinguishing module until all of the units have been accepted then gently slide the
WRITE ENABLE switch on the module to the right.
All of the status units and ancillary boards found by the extinguishant module have now been added and
disconnection of any of them will be displayed as a fault on the module and on the detection part of the system. If
any status units are disconnected, a HOLD activated indication will also be displayed at the extinguishing module
and all ancillary boards or status units that remain connected. With the ENABLE controls keyswitch off, the LCD will
display:
RE MOT E B US
F A UL T
When additional status units or ancillary boards are added to the system, these will be shown on the LCD of the
extinguishing module when the system is powered up or the processor reset switch is pressed on the module to
which the status unit or ancillary board is connected and can be added to the system by following the procedure
above.
14.2 Removing status units or ancillary boards

If a status units or ancillary board needs to be removed from the system, disconnect the status unit or ancillary
board taking care not to short power supply or data cables. The extinguishing module will display:
RE MOT E B US
F A UL T
Press the processor reset button on the extinguishant module to which the status unit or ancillary board is connected.
When the extinguishant module has re-started, it will display:
S T A T US UNI T X X = the address of the disconnected status unit

F A UL T
Or
out put uni t x X = the address of the disconnected ancillary board

f aul t
Turn the ENABLE controls keyswitch on and gently slide the write enable switch on the extinguishant module to
which the status units or ancillary boards are connected, to the left.
The LCD will then display:

S T A T US UNI T X X = the address of the remaining status units found
Or
out put uni t X X = the address of the remaining ancillary boards unit found
When the ENTER button is pressed on the module to which the status units or ancillary boards are connected, the
selected status unit or ancillary board will be added to the system and the next unit to be added will be displayed.
Press the ENTER button on the extinguishing module until all of the units have been accepted then gently slide the
WRITE ENABLE on the extinguishing module switch to the right.
Full details of status units and ancillary boards can be found in documents MAN-1089 (Sigma XT Status unit operation
an maintenance manual) and MAN-1095 (Ancillary board operation and maintenance manual).

15. Configuring the panel
15.1 Detection part

Sigma XT+ control panels consist of 2 parts. The detection part has 2, 4 or 8 detection zones and has a number of
configuration options which can be set at the time of commissioning to suit the requirements of the installation.
These options are normally set once and will rarely need to change. The configuration options are only available at
access level 3 which is accessed by operating the Write enable switch to the left as shown below. When the panel is
at access level 3, the buzzer will “pip” three times every few seconds as an indication that it is at this access level.
WRITE ENABLE SWITCH
Access level 3 (Write enable) enable switch location – slide gently to the right to enable
Configuration options are simple to enter using the codes the table below. When the control panel is at access level
3, the sub-text of the Mode and Select buttons is used to enter a number using tens (+10) and units (+1).
When the required code number is displayed, pressing the enter button will cause the dot on the units seven segment
display to flash. This indicates that a configuration option has been set.
To review which configuration options have been set previously, simply scroll through numbers 1 to 99, A1 to A8,
C1 to C8 and E1 to E8 and those with a flashing dot indicate which options have been set.

which operates when the extinguishant has been released. This will activate the released indicator on the control
panel. If the extinguishant has been released by mechanical means i.e. the control panel is not in the activated
condition, operation of the released pressure switch input will establish the Released condition. (See also 15.2.8)
16.17 Low pressure switch

The low pressure switch input will be connected to a pressure switch on the extinguishant cylinder which will operate
if the pressure in the cylinder falls below a set point. This will happen after the extinguishant has been released but
may happen before release through a leak. The fault LED on the module and on the detection part will light and the
buzzer will sound when this input is operated.
16.18 Manual only mode

The mode of the system can be toggled between Manual Only and Automatic & Manual by operating the Mode select
keyswitches on the modules.
When a module is in Manual Only mode, the extinguishant cannot be released by the operation of automatic
detectors.
The mode can also be changed to manual by the external mode select input or a keyswitch on a status unit. Any
mode select input that is switched to Manual only mode will override any keyswitches switched to Automatic and
Manual mode. All inputs must be switched to Manual and Automatic mode for a module to be in Automatic and
Manual mode.
16.19 Manual Release

Extinguishant modules may be activated by Manual release inputs via the manual release control on the front of
each module, a remotely mounted Manual release control connected the monitored manual release inputs or by a
manual release control mounted on a status unit.
Activation of any of these Manual release controls will immediately activate the extinguishant module and begin the
pre-release timer if the module is configured to have a time delay for Manual release inputs.
16.19 Abort input

Each module has the facility for connection of an Abort control. Operation of the Abort input or a fault on the
monitored wiring of the Abort circuit during the pre-release delay time or before activation will light the Abort
indicator on the module and the extinguishant release timer will be canceled i.e. the extinguishant will not be
released. The module can be immediately reset from this condition.

17. Internal Controls
17.1 Detection part
17.1.1 Watchdog reset

If for any reason the microprocessor in the detection part of the control panel fails to carry out its operation correctly
it will attempt to restart. This process is called a “watchdog” and the control panel must record and indicate these
events.
If a watchdog event occurs, the detection part panel will show the Fault and System Fault LEDs on the front panel,
the CPU fault LED inside the panel will light and the buzzer will sound. This fault can only be cleared by pressing the
Watchdog Reset button on the PCB inside the control panel. The control panel buzzer will continue to sound until
the watchdog activation is reset.
17.1.2 Processor reset

Once started, the microprocessor controlling the detection part of the panel should continue to run continuously
without interruption. If the microprocessor fails to run correctly it can be reset by pressing the Processor Reset
button on the PCB inside the control panel.
This should not normally be necessary but should be done as a matter of course if the system is behaving abnormally.
The system should resume normal operation within a couple of seconds of pressing the processor reset button. It
will be necessary to pres the Watchdog Reset button a few seconds after pressing the Processor Reset button to
clear the Watchdog indication and buzzer.
17.1.3 Write enable switch

It is necessary to protect the configuration memory of the panel while it is running normally. To do this a memory
Write Enable switch is provided. The memory Write Enable switch must be switched on before any changes can be
made to the configuration. The Write Enable switch is quite fragile and should be operated with care.

17.2 Extinguishant modules
17.2.1 Watchdog reset

If the microprocessor on an extinguishant module fails to carry out its operation correctly it will attempt to restart.
If a watchdog event occurs, the Extinguishant module will show Fault and System Fault LEDs on the front panel, the
detection part of the panel will show a fault and the buzzer will sound and the display on the Extinguishant module
will show CPU fault
This fault can only be cleared by pressing the Watchdog Reset button on the Extinguishant module. The control
panel buzzer will continue to sound until the watchdog activation is reset.
17.2.2 Processor reset

If the microprocessor on an Extinguishant module fails to run correctly it can be reset by pressing the Processor
Reset button on the PCB inside the control panel.
This should not normally be necessary but should be done as a matter of course if the system is behaving abnormally.
The system should resume normal operation within a couple of seconds of pressing the processor reset button.
17.2.3 Terminate extinguishant

Once the extinguishant outputs have been operated they can not be switched off until after the reset inhibit timer
has elapsed. For test purposes a terminate extinguishant button is provided which will terminate operation of the
extinguishant outputs and allow the system to be reset.
17.2.4 Write enable switch

It is necessary to protect the configuration memory of extinguishant modules while the system is running
normally. To do this a memory Write Enable switch is provided on each module. The memory Write Enable switch
must be switched on before any changes can be made to the configuration. The Write Enable switch is quite fragile
and should be operated with care.

17.2.5 Address switch
Extinguishant modules are connected to the serial bus of the Sigma CP detection part of the control panel and each
module must be allocated an address between 1 and 7 using the binary coded DIP switch.

18. Internal indications

18.1 Detection part
To assist in identifying fault conditions which are not detailed on the front of the control panel, a number of internal
indicators are visible with the control panel door open as follows:
18.1.1 Mains fail

Indicates that the 230V AC supply is not present and the system is running on standby batteries.
If there is not a power cut, check the panels mains fuse.
18.1.2 Batt fail

Indicates that the standby battery has become disconnected or that the charging circuit of the control panel has
failed. Check that both batteries are connected and linked together. Test battery. Disconnect battery and ensure
that 28 Volts can be measured on battery charger leads.
18.1.3 CPU fault

Indicates that the processor has failed to correctly execute code and has been re-started by the system watchdog.
The watchdog reset switch must be pressed to clear the CPU fault condition.
Press watchdog reset. If system does not return to normal then the panel is probably damaged and needs the circuit
board replacing.
18.1.4 Aux 24V fault

The Aux 24V and R0V terminals provide a 100 milliamp, 24V DC power supply for power fire alarm ancillary
equipment. This LED indicates that fuse protecting the R0V output has operated and the rating of this output has
been exceeded. The fuse is a self resetting type and the supply will resume when the fault condition is removed.
18.1.5 Batt low

Illuminates when the system is running on batteries and the battery voltage is between 21.5 V and 20.5 V (the
minimum battery voltage).
18.1.6 Comms fault
Indicates that communication has been lost with an Extinguishant module, Repeater panel or Ancillary board. Check
for comms fault at all Extinguishant modules, Repeaters and Ancillary boards to identify the source of the problem.
18.1.7 Earth fault

Indicates that part of the system wiring is connected to earth. Remove all system wiring and re-connect cables one
at a time until the earth fault returns. This will indicate which cable the earth fault is present on.
18.1.8 Sys fuse fault

Indicates that the total power rating of the power supply has been exceeded and that the system fuse has come
into operation. Remove and review all loads then re-connect one at a time.
18.1.9 S1 fault
Indicates a short or open circuit on sounder outputs. Remove wiring and refit end of line resistors. Check sounder
circuit wiring.
18.1.10 S2 fault
Indicates a short or open circuit on sounder outputs. Remove wiring and refit end of line resistors. Check sounder
circuit wiring.
18.2 Extinguishant modules

18.2.1 Watchdog
Indicates that the processor has failed to correctly execute code and has been re-started by the watchdog circuit.
The watchdog reset switch must be pressed to clear the Watchdog fault condition.
Press the Watchdog reset button. If system does not return to normal then the module is probably damaged and
needs the circuit board replacing.
18.2.2 System fuse

Indicates that the modules main fuse has been overloaded and the module is shut down. Remove and review all
loads then re-connect one at a time.
18.2.3 Man. Release

Indicates that either the front panel mounted or a remotely connected Manual release control has been operated.
This indication can only be cleared by power cycling the module or pressing the processor reset switch.

19. Power supply
The control panel requires a 230V (+10%/-15%), 50/60Hz, AC mains power supply which connects to the fused
terminal block labelled “230V”.
Panels with a 3A power supply have a 20mm, F1.6A L250V mains fuse.
Panels with a 5.25A power supply have a 20mm T3A L250V mains fuse.
These fuses should only be replaced with fuses of the same or similar types.
The table below shows the power supply rating and recommended battery capacity for each model in the Sigma XT+
range.
Model Description Power supply rating Batteries recommended
for 24 hour standby
K21021M3 Two zone single area 3A 7Ah
K21041M3 Four zone single area 3A 7Ah
K21042M3 Four zone two area 3A 7Ah
K21081M3 Eight zone single area 3A 7Ah
K21082M3 Eight zone two area 3A 7Ah
K21083M3 Eight zone three area 5.25A 12Ah
K21084M3 Eight zone four area 5.25A 12Ah
The maximum loading on the power supply must be carefully considered when connecting externally powered
equipment such as sounders and solenoids.
Exceeding the maximum power supply rating may cause a fuse or other protective device to operate and
render the equipment inoperative until the fuse is replaced or protective devices are reset.
The tables below can be used to calculate the loading for all models by adding the loads in the second column.
K21021M3 2 zone single area Current in milliamps
Detection section max alarm load 100
Extinguishing module max alarm load 105

K21082M3 8 zone two area Current in milliamps
K21083M4 8 zone three area Current in milliamps

TOTAL LOAD (must be less than 5.25A)
K21084M4 8 zone four area Current in milliamps

TOTAL LOAD (must be less than 5.25A)
The output voltage of the power supply is between 18 and 30V depending on mains and battery condition and the
total current rating is either 3A or 5.25A depending on the model (see tables above).
The incoming mains cable should be routed well away from other lower voltage wiring by a distance of at least
50mm.
Mains wiring should include an earth conductor, which is securely bonded to the building earth and should enter the
enclosure as close as possible to the mains terminal block. Mains wires should be kept very short inside the enclosure
and secured together close to the mains terminal block with a cable tie.
The maximum capacity batteries that should be fitted are 7Ah for KXXXXM3 models and 17Ah for KXXXXM4 models.
The maximum current drawn from the batteries when the main power source is disconnected is 3 Amps for KXXXXM3
models and 5.25 Amps for KXXXXM4 models.

TEMPERATURE
SENSOR WIRE
K21083M4 and K21084M4 models have a temperature compensation

sensor held in place on the power supply chassis with adhesive tape. The
tip of the sensor must be fitted to one of the batteries with the tape supplied
TEMPERATURE
for correct temperature compensation.
SENSOR
TAPE
BATTERY
Battery leads are supplied wired to the power supply along with a link to connect the two batteries together.
It is most important that the polarity of the batteries is carefully observed when connecting. Wrongly
connected batteries could cause damage to the control panel.
21. Maintenance
SIGMA XT+ control panels do not require any specific maintenance but should the control panel become dirty it can
be wiped over with a barely damp cloth. Detergents or solvents should not be used to clean the panel and care must
be taken that water does not enter the enclosure.
The control panel contains sealed lead acid batteries to provide standby power in the event of mains failure.
These batteries have a life expectancy of around 4 years. It is recommended that these batteries be tested in
accordance with the battery manufacturer’s recommendations annually to determine their suitability for continued
standby applications.
Testing of the extinguishant system should only be carried out by trained personnel and must be done with
appropriate isolation measures in place to ensure that accidental discharge of the extinguishant agent is avoided.
Should the control panel become faulty the complete electronic assemblies and front plates can be replaced.
To do this, any configured options should be noted then both mains and battery power should be removed before
the work is started.
The field wiring should be carefully labelled and removed from the terminals. The power terminal block can be
unplugged from the PCB by pulling it towards you.
The faulty PCB plate assembly can now be taken out of the panel by removing the 2 screws.
Fitting the new PCB is the reverse of the procedure for removing the board.

23. CE Mark
All control panels have a label affixed to the inside of the lid as shown below.
This label should not be removed under any circumstances.

24. Commissioning instructions
24.1 Before applying power to the panel, any solenoids or igniting actuators must be physically isolated from the
system by disconnecting both wires to it. This will prevent any accidental release of extinguishant.
24.2 When power is applied, if all connections are correct, only the green Power On indicators should be lit.
If any fault indicators are lit the wiring to the appropriate input or output should be checked an all faults
cleared before proceeding.
24.3 Once the panel is fault free, it can be configured with the desired options as
described in section 15 .
24.4 Once the panel has been configured the system should be thoroughly tested to ensure that the control panels
responds as expected and required.
24.5 After satisfactory testing, any final connections should be made (such as to the
extinguishant release actuator).
24.6 A record of the configuration options that have been set should be recorded in the tables below and this
manual provided as part of the documentation recommended by BS5839:Part 1:2002 section 40.2 b).
