USER MANUAL
FOREWARD
This device has been projected, assembled and tested with the maximum care, adopting control procedures in
accordance with the laws in force. The full correspondence to the functional characteristics is given
exclusively when it is used for the purpose it was projected for, which is as follows:
FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM

Any use other than the one mentioned above has not been forecasted and therefore it is not possible to guarantee its
correct operativeness.
The manufacturing process is carefully controlled in order to prevent defaults and bad functioning. Nevertheless, an
extremely low percentage of the components used is subjected to faults just as any other electronic or meccanic product.
As this item is meant to protect both property and people, we invite the user to proportion the level of protection that the
system offers to the actual risk
(also taking into account the possibility that the system was operated in a degraded manner because
of faults and the like), as well reminding that there are precise laws for the design and assemblage
of the systems destinated to these kind of applications.
We would like to draw the user’s attention to the regular necessity to assure the system the
periodical servicing as laws in force require, as well as checks on its correct functionality as many
times as necessary making reference to the condition of risk.
Design, installation and servicing of systems which include this product, should be made by skilled
staff with the necessary knowledge to operate in safe conditions in order to prevent accidents. These
systems’ installation must be made in accordance with the laws in force. Some equipment’s inner
parts are connected to electric main and therefore electrocution may occur if servicing was made
before switching off the main and emergency power.
Some products incorporate rechargeable or non rechargeable batteries as emergency power supply.
Their wrong connection may damage the product, properties and the operator’s safety (burst and
fire).

1. Overview
The FX-20 analogue addressable fire detection control unit is a sophisticated fire detection control unit controlled by
computer with analogue protocol: the operational principle is based on an analogue addressable communication
protocol that permits the timely identification of the alarms and faults in the system. Designed for the management of
fire-prevention systems, the control unit permits installations of elevated dimensions for structures such as hotels,
companies, shopping centres and office blocks, areas that require elevated technological performance, rapid installation,
and simplified management. A general wiring diagram for an analogue addressable fire detection control unit system is
provided below.
The development of a special power supply board (capable of transmitting all the operational parameters) completes the
creation of a fire detection control unit that permits the complete supervision of any and all other devices connected.

1.3. General warnings

The following general warnings are very important and must be kept in mind during installation and maintenance :
1. Install the control unit indoors and in dry surroundings;

2. Never connect any device to the control unit whenever power supply is connected to this latter;
3. Never remove any device from the control unit whenever power supply is connected to this latter;
4. Never disconnect any connection from the control unit whenever power supply is connected to this latter;
5. Loop devices must be replaced only after first disconnecting the Loop from the control unit ;
6. Never weld directly on the control unit ’s electronic circuits;
7. Never handle the control unit ’s electronic circuits, which can be damaged by electrostatic discharge;
8. In order to avoid disturbing the public peace, the external siren should never be sounded during installation or
maintenance.
8
3. Operation
The Mod. FX20 analogue addressable fire control unit can control up to a maximum of 40 zones through the generation
of various “alarm” or “malfunction” signals following system events, logic events or patterns (see Point .3.4).
Two levels of access are foreseen for the control unit :
1. The user level;
2. The supervisor level
Each control unit also has its own ID identification code (See Point 6.3.10 in the “Program manual”) which permits a
total of up to 32 units to be installed in the circuit whenever the number of devices to be connected exceeds the
capacity of a single control unit .
3.0 Reset procedure

The reset procedure to be adopted after the triggering of an alarm cycle or a fault is as follows:
1- CONTROL UNIT BUZZER SILENCE
2- ACCESS LEVEL 2 ENTRY (default 1234)
3- RESET
3.1 Access levels

The system has two access levels: user access and supervisor access. In order to gain access, there are two sets of 10
passwords (see Point. 3.1.1): one set for access from Level l (L1) to Level 2 (L2), and one set for passage from Level
2 (L2) to Level 3 (L3).
Ø Level 1 (L1): Basic level. This is the default level (set in the factory), which permits only the use of the,
and keys.
NOTE: At Level 1 (L1), EVACUATION KEY: delayed mode acknowledgement
Ø All system menus are excluded from use. Pressing any other key summons the password request video page (Figure
5), from which access can be granted to L2 or L3 depending on the password entered (see below).
Input Password
####
ESC -> ENT
Figure 5: Password request video page
Ø Level 2 (L2): User Level. At this level, all the keys are enabled and access is granted to the menus at the “user
level”, or in other words, all those menus that are not listed under the heading entitled “Programming” (see Chapter
5). Repeated attempts to access “Programming” will lead to repeated requests for the password.
If no key is pressed for the duration of the Time-Out time set (see Point 6.5. 3 in the “Program manual), the level
will drop automatically to L1.
Ø Level 3 (L3): Programming Level. This level provides access to all the control unit ’s functions and settings, and
password setting possibility.
At the L3 level, some of the control unit ’s functions are inhibited, such as "polling" on the Loop: therefore, if no
key is pressed for the Time-Out time set (see Point 6.5.3 in the “Program manual”), the buzzer will sound and the
“PROGRAMMING MODE” message will appear. This message will appear only if the control unit is not already
in alarm or malfunctioning condition, while the buzzer will sound always and in any case.
3.1.1 Passwords
The password is nothing but a personal identification code (PIN) that must be entered every time that access to the
control unit’s access levels is requested.
For passage from L1 to L2, and from L2 to L3, the passwords set by default are the following:
L1 à L2: password 1234
9
Up to 10 users can be managed for each of the two access levels (user and supervisor) by entering “First Name” and
“Last Name” (see Point 6.5 in the “Program manual”).
3.2 Zones
The zone is represented by the grouping of an entire set of devices and not just one. In the case of fire prevention units,
for example, the office zone heading groups all the office devices, while the laboratory zone heading groups all the
laboratory devices, and so on.
If a fault occurs in any given zone, it can be isolated through disabling (see Point 6.2): the operator is therefore able to
identify the device responsible for the fault through its address (see Point 3.2.1).
3.2.1 Device addresses
All the devices connected to the control unit can be assigned addresses: using the respective dip-switches (Figure 6), an
address can be assigned that permits its individual identification. Up to 254 addresses can be managed (see the manual
of the individual device in question for coding).

3.3 Devices
There are various modules (devices) that can be connected to the control unit ; a brief description of each is provided
below:
Call point: manual signalling device with “break glass” cover to be broken in case of use protected against accidental
breakage by a layer of accident-prevention film.
Optic smoke detector: smoke detector that works according to the scattering effect. In particular, inside the sensor
there is a reflection chamber that contains a receiver and a transmitter: during normal operation, the infrared beam does
not reach the receiver. Whenever smoke is detected inside the chamber, the particles suspended in the smoke provoke
the reflection of the beam and trigger an alarm signal when they reach the receiver.
Temperature detector: the temperature detector intervenes whenever the temperature of the sensitive element reaches
the value set due to the rise in room temperature. The slower this rise in room temperature is, the closer the detector’s
intervention temperature will come to the value that has been set.
Ionisation-type smoke detector: a double-chamber ionisation-type smoke detector for the best fire prevention
performance. The sensitive element built by Americium (Am241 – 33.3 kBq) is contained inside.
Output module: output module for the command of fire detection/prevention equipment with a clear input contact.
Equipped with C/NC/NA (2 A-30 V DC) relay output and an "open collector".
Input module: input module that permits the connection of any device with a N.O. output contact in the detection
Loop.
Sounder control module: control module for sounders equipped with “supervised output” for acoustic signalling
devices with a maximum load of 1A, with input for power supply unit supervision and local silence button. Requires
24V DC external power supply.
Module for conventional detectors: control module that permits the supervision of up to 20 conventional ST-P
detectors or 5 NFD-68P flame detectors. Equipped with a relay output and an "open collector". Requires 24V DC
external power supply.
Each device is distinguished by its characteristics of:
- type: type of device (consult Table 1 on Page 35);
- zone: the respective device’s zone (see Point 3.2);
- system event generated: the system event (fire, panic, etc.) associated with the device (see Point 3.4);
- logic event generated: the logic event associated with the device (see Point 3.4);
- system event enabled: the system event enabled by the device (see Point 3.4);
10
- logic event enabled: the logic event enabled by the device (see Point 3.4);
- pattern: the enabling route followed by various electronic outputs (see Point 3.4);
- day threshold and night threshold: only for the sensors (see Point 6.2.1.3).
Some of the parameters described are not available in all the devices
3.4 Events
The enabling of control unit outputs occurs following “ system events, "logic events" or "patterns".
3.4.1 System events
Most system events produce a message on the display and all are memorised in the “event code (see Point 6.10 in the
“Program manual”). System events are generated by the devices and the peripherals for the signalling of various
conditions.
In some cases, such as for the devices, the event that must be generated under alarm conditions generated event) can be
indicated on the basis of the Tables on Page 35.
The occurrence of certain of these events can be used to enable outputs (enabling events) or to enable other events
known as “global events. Global events are a type of message that can come from various sources, such as, “FIRE”,
which includes all fire messages, whether they come from the Loop devices (see Point 3.5) or the “Signalling device
Alarm” (signals) key .
Note: Global devices are not recorded in the memory and can be used as enabling events, but never as generated events.
3.4.2 Logic events
Logic events are represented by a number that varies from 0 to 999, where zero equals "no association" or "not in use".
Logic events can be associated with the properties of the devices and some of the peripherals, as generated logic events
or enabling logic events. Like "system events", they can be used to enable devices, on the condition that the
corresponding logic event is generated first by some device or logic equation (see Point 6.2.5 in the “Program
manual”).
The most useful characteristic of the “logic events” lies in their possibility to use logic equations for the purpose of
creating "AND/OR" type relationships for the generation of further "logic events”.
3.4.3 Patterns
The "pattern" is the enabling route followed by various electronic outputs that is learned during alarms coming from
determined zones, and is nothing but a logic “OR” of the alarm condition of all the zones associated with it. Therefore,
whenever one of more of the zones associated go into alarm, the pattern “is enabled” and contributes to the enabling of
the output according to its type of link with the output (see Point 6.2.3.). There are 120 patterns available in the control
unit, and each one contains the setting for all the 40 zones that can be associated with the devices. Whenever any zone
included in the “pattern” goes into alarm, the pattern is enabled and can be utilised to enable the outputs.
3.4.4 Priority
Whenever an output device or a relay has enable mode set other than system event, the system event must be disabled,
in other words must be set on "NOT IN USE".
The system event always has the first priority. The other mode such as logic equation or pattern will be individually set
as always 2nd priority."
Note: if enabling through an enabling mode of lower priority is desired, the mode with higher priority must first be
disabled.
3.5 Loop cards

Loop cards are cards that permit the creation of a serial line (with Loop connection) and capable of managing up to
254 addressed points that can be freely configured. Up to a maximum 2 Loop cards can be connected to the control unit.
NOTE: It is not possible connecting more than 500 devices (subdivided in the 2 loops) to the control unit so as to
apply to EN54 part 4 norm.
11
The units are supplied without these cards, which must be acquired as accessories (see Point 1.2) and in a number
compatible with the management capacity of the main board.
Each card’s line can thus be connected with a maximum of 254 analogue addressable protocol devices, such as smoke
detectors, temperature detectors, manual “fire” signalling call points and modules (see Point 3.5.2).
The Loop cards can communicate (in Self-learning, see Point 3.5.1) with the devices connected to their serial bus in
both clockwise and anti-clockwise direction and in both directions at the same time. This means that if a section of the
line is cut off, the two sections cut off remain in operation because they are connected to the card.
In addition to the exchange of data, the serial bus permits power supply to the detectors, the analogue call points, and certain types of
modules.
3.5.1 Self-learning
Self-learning is a function that permits the control unit to automatically recognise the devices connected to a given
Loop. This function merely discriminates between the devices on the basis of the respective analogue values read by
comparing them with an internal table (see Table 4).
This is a non-destructive type of procedure, and bears in mind the configuration of the Loop saved previously. This
prevents settings already self-learnt and set on devices from being lost and permits the easy addition of others.
There are two types of self-learning possible (see Point 6.2.1 in the “Program manual”):
1. Autolearn
2. Self learn
As regards the smoke and temperature detectors, the values are as follows:
Optic smoke detector: analogue value from 5 to 7.
Ionisation-type smoke detector: analogue value from 10 to 15.
Temperature detector: analogue value depending on the temperature detected.
See the table below for the other devices.

Bell output module 03 06 04
Conventional type detector 07 10 09
module .
Table 4: Device analogue values
3.5.2 Modules
The modules (transmitters/receivers) are interface cards, which depending on type are used for the connection of single
conventional devices, the control and supervision of sets of ST-P conventional smoke detectors, alarm command, and
the remote supervision of the bells.
The modules that cannot be supplied with power by the serial line and the equipment interfaced with all the modules
must be provided with their own power supplies with the use of adequate local power supply generators (see the Basic
Technical Manual).
3.6 Panel outputs

The control unit has two “bell outputs” (A, B) and two relay outputs (RELAY 1 and RELAY 2).
RELAY 1 is a fixed, non-programmable relay for the “malfunction” output; RELAY 2 is, on the other hand,
programmable.
The "bell outputs" are all supervised, and equipped with a 4K7 (4,7 kΩ) value balancing resistance. .
12
3.7 Peripherals
The “Peripherals” (see Point 6.2.6 in the “Program manual”) use an RS485 serial line connected to the control unit’s
Terminal S3 (Figure 7).
Figure 7: RS485 serial line connection terminals.
The following can be connected to the “Peripherals”:

- Remote power supply boards of the FX family already have a serial line, which in the case of the control unit’s
power supply board, is already wired directly to the keyboard, whereas remote positionings are wired to the
peripheral
- Synoptic repeater panels.
See Table 1 for the codes of the power supply boards, keyboards and synoptic panels.
These can accommodate 32 peripherals with a maximum of 15 per type whose ID (addresses) must be included in the
range of between 1 and 15. This permits the connection of numerous peripherals of different type with the same ID.
Note: the zero address (ID0) is used only for the main terminal and power supply board, and the assignment of this
address to peripherals can create unexpected results. The “Peripherals” are also in "Self-learning” and addressing is
made using the dip-switches ( Figure 6.)
13
4. User interface
The user interface provided for the FX 50 control unit is composed of a keyboard, an alphanumeric LCD display, and
two seven-segment LED displays (see Figure 3: Mod. FX-20 control unit user interface
.All the interface keys have a fixed function and are “context sensitive”.
For example, the alphanumeric keys of the type will be enabled whenever a text string must be entered, but disabled
whenever they are found in a “selection menu” (see Point 4.2).
4.1 Description of keys

The four fundamental keys for navigation in the menus are those that compose the first line immediately below the
display (Figure 8). These are also “context-sensitive” and their function is always repeated on the display’s fourth line
exactly above the corresponding key.
Figure 8: LCD display and fundamental keys
The meaning of these four fundamental keys is shown in the table below:
Key label Function
ESC ESCAPE: cancels the modifications made and returns to the previous page.
à Scrolls downwards (PgDown): selects the headings, browses the values and shifts the cursor in editing.
ß Scrolls upwards (PgUp): selects the headings, browses the values and shifts the cursor in editing.
ENT ENTER: confirms, selects and enters/exits editing.
Table no. 5
The function of the other keys, with the exception of the alphanumeric keys, is described below.
Also called "Alarm Signals": when pressed, generates a ”fire alarm event”.
Silences the Loop and control unit acoustic signals until the next alarm or fault is triggered.
Silences the control unit buzzer and the remote terminal buzzers.
Sets all fault and alarm conditions to zero, returning the control unit to normal operating conditions.
4.1 Types of display

All the control unit’s video pages and menus provide the type class in the description given in Chapters 6 and 7 in the
“Program manual”. Normally only one type class is indicated, but there are cases in which the page is indicated as
belonging to more than one type class. In these cases, the description that follows provides a detailed description of the
method to be adopted for the use of the page. For all other class types, the following rules apply:
Menu: represents the most frequent type of page. A menu video page is simply a list that scrolls all the sub-headings
that can be selected. Selection is made using the ENT keys to enter a given sub-heading or the ESC key to return to the
previous page.

Note: Modifications are memorised only after pressing ENT and the abbreviation "Ed" disappears. Press the ESC key in
order to exit this mode and cancel the modifications.
Double editing page: some editing pages permit the modification of only a part of the parameters displayed. These
cases may require the ENT key to be pressed twice in order to shift to the modification of the second set.
All the other characteristics remain the same as those of the normal Editing page.

Pressing the ENT key set the current line in editing mode and renders modifications possible through the use of the
alphanumeric keys. As in normal editing: ENT is used to confirm the modifications made and exit, while ESC is used to
cancel the modifications made and exit; the cursor is moved using the “->” and “<-“ keys .
The hourly intervals are checked for validity both individually and in the respective groups, and are modified whenever necessary.

Glossary
Self-learning: the function that permits the control unit to automatically acknowledge the devices connected in a given
Loop. This function merely distinguishes between the devices on the basis of their analogue value through comparison
with an internal table.
Baud: the unit of measure adopted for the data transfer speed (1 baud = 1 bit/s).
Bit: the unit of information used by computers represented by a binary number (0 or 1).
Serial bus: the communication route (electric connections) used by the various parts of an electronic system for the
transfer of data (bits) in succession.
Events: the memory area with fixed extension destined to contain the events.
CPU: Central Processing Unit. The central unit of a computer.
Cursor: a symbol on the display (hyphen) that marks the point at which the next character typed by the user will be
entered and displayed.
Logic equations: arithmetic expressions that use the logic values 0 and 1. The equation that has the symbol * (AND)
as an operator will make the result assume the logic value 1 if and only if all the terms have a logic value of 1.
The equation that has the symbol + (OR) as an operator will make the result assume the logic value 1 whenever at least
one of the terms has the logic value 1.
System events: generated by the devices and the peripherals to signal conditions of various kind.
The occurrence of some of these events can be used to enable outputs (enabling events).
Logic events: represented by a number that varies from 0 to 999, where zero equals no “association” or “not in use”.
Addressing: the various devices connected can be acknowledged thanks to this method.
Interface: the input/output device that permits dialogue with the control unit.
LCD: a type of screen that uses chemical compounds (liquid crystals) that react under polarised light and electric
signals.
Loop: the Loop cards are cards that permit the creation of a serial line (with Loop connection) and are capable of
managing up to 254 freely-configurable addressed points. The control unit can be connected with a maximum number
of 2 Loop cards.
Modem: the device that converts the data from digital format to analogue mode in order to permit the transmission of
such through a standard telephone line.
The modem connected to the receiving computer re-converts the data in digital form in order to permit reading.
Pattern: a route for the enabling of various electronic outputs that is learnt on case of alarms coming from determined
zones.
Polling: the method used for the interrogation of the various devices one by one.
Network: two or more control units connected together to share resources and data.
Analogue signal: signal not subject to numeric processing, the contrary of digital signals.
Modules: the modules (transmitters/receivers) are interface cards which, depending on type, are used for the
connection of individual conventional devices, and the control and supervision of conventional-type ST-P smoke
detectors, alarm command, and the remote supervision of bells.
Default value: a value set in the factory.
