DETECTION SYSTEM LIMITS

An alarm or fire detection system can be very useful for the prompt warning of any dangerous event, such as fire, a
robbery or a simple burglary, in some cases it can automatically manage events (transmission of messages for
room evacuation, automatic fire-extinguishing, TVCC system interface, access route or door blockage, automatic
warning to authorities, etc.), but in any case, it does not ensure protection against damages to propriety or
damages caused by fires or robberies).
Moreover, each system may not properly operate if it is not installed and maintained according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
PRECAUTIONS
 These instructions contain procedures to be followed in order to avoid damages to
equipment. It is assumed that the user of this manual has performed a training
course and that he knows the applicable rules in force.
 The system and all its components must be installed in an environment having the
following features:
 Temperature: -5 °C ¸ +40 °C.
 Humidity: 10 % - 93 % (without condensation).
 Peripheral devices (sensors, etc.) which are not perfectly compatible with the
control unit may cause damages to the same control unit, and a bad operation of
the system in any moment. Therefore, it is essential to only use material which is
guaranteed by NOTIFIER and is compatible with its own control units.
Please consult NOTIFIER Technical Service for any doubt.
 This system, like all solid state components, may be damaged by induced
electrostatic voltages: handles the boards keeping them among the edges and
avoid to touch the electronic components.
 An appropriate earthing connection ensures, in any case, a sensitivity reduction to
disturbances.
 Please consult NOTIFIER Technical Service if you cannot solve installation
problems.
 Any electronic system does not operate if it is not powered.
If power supply from the mains fails, the system ensures its operation through
battery, but only for a limited period of time.
 During the system planning phase, take into account the autonomy required to
appropriately dimension the power supply and batteries.
 Skilled personnel shall periodically check the state of batteries.
 Disconnect the MAINS and the batteries BEFORE removing or inserting any board.
 Disconnect ALL power supply sources from the control unit, BEFORE performing
any servicing.
 The control unit and the connected devices (sensors, modules, repeaters, etc.)
may be damaged, if a new board is inserted or removed, or if the powered cables
are connected.
 The most common cause for malfunctioning is inappropriate maintenance.
 Take special care of these aspects since you start the system planning phase; this
will facilitate future servicing and will reduce cost.

BATTERIES Installation
Power supply and battery operation

The main microprocessor of the control unit periodically checks the state of the main AC power supply source, batteries and
the recharging circuit. The control unit will automatically switch on the stand-by battery source when AC mains fails.
When the control unit operates through AC mains, the main microprocessor controls the battery charger output and the
presence of them. To perform this test, the output battery charger is temporarily switched off and the battery voltage is read
(signalling of missing batteries<15.0V).
When the control unit operates as a battery (in the absence of the AC mains) “Low Battery” breakdown will be
indicated when their voltage is <21.5V and, to prevent irreversible damages the voltage will be automatically
switched off, by disconnecting the batteries, when the voltage is < 19,5V.
All wirings MUST be checked BEFORE they are connected to the control unit.
It is recommended to perform at least the following checks:
 Check the continuity of all cables used (including the shield )

 Ensure that, in alarm conditions, any possible voltage drops do not compromise the
operations of the various devices.
 Ensure that the electrical characteristics of all cables used come within the
manufacturer’s specifications (refer to the various sections of this manual)
 Check the insulation between all cables and between cables and shield and the
earthing. minimum of 2MΩ insulation is required.
 Check that the screen of all signal cables is not earthed in positions other than the
prescribed ones.
 Check that the signal cables do not travel together with the power lines..

Mains and Batteries connection
The 230 Vac mains power supply cable must preferably pass near the relevant terminal block.
The connection to the 230 Vac power supply mains must be performed through three-conductor cable (phase-
neuter- earth).
The identification of the earth conductor coming from the mains must be performed on the CNAL terminal block
(refer to basic board topography) and must be fixed at the cabinet by means of cable –tightening strip so that it
cannot be accidentally stripped off from the terminal block.
The 230 Vac power supply cable must be fixed inside the control unit by means of an appropriate cable fixing
device.
NOTE: The cable fixing collars must be HB flammability class.

The mains supply conductors shall not be consolidated by means of a soft welding..
A sectioning device external to the control unit must be provided for the 230 Vac power cable (contact separation: 3
mm min.) The sectioning device must be omni-polar or must disconnect the line phase
Power Supply connection must be done following this procedure: (Refer to Base Board)
1 – Turn off the main power switch of the 230 Vac mains.
2 – Disconnect the CNAL terminal block from the control unit.
3 – Connect the mains cable.
4 – Re-connect the CNAL terminal block
5 – Turn on the mains switch
6 – Install and connect the batteries as indicated in this manual.
 N.B.: Once the control unit has been powered, it will automatically start operating.
However, in accordance with the battery storage period, it is necessary to wait some hours before the
batteries are completely re-charged.
7 – Check the operation of the LED indicators on the panel, according to the paragraph “TEST AND STARTING
OPERATION”.
8 – Close the control unit.

Here are some samples of the power supply and CAN bus wiring.
Note that :
 Each LCD have TWO connections for the CAN Network
 Each LCD have TWO connections for the Power Supply
 CAN-Bus IN-OUT connections must be wired in separated path
 LCD Power IN-OUT connections must be wired in separated
path
Power source for the LCD-8000L and LCD-8000F can be :
 One Black Box for all LCDs , or….
 Each LCD can be powered from the nearest Black Box , or….
 One LCD can use a local EN 54.4 certified Power Supply unit but
in this case the Power line must be splitted and the two
connection path must be physically separated.

System Wiring Example

CAN Bus wiring : CABLES
Communication Cable
Cable used for CAN Bus connection must be : Twisted pair – Shielded – Impedance: 120 Ohm
Shield wire have to be connected to the negative terminal on both side to guarantee the reference continuity.
Suggested cables are :
Double pair for both CAN-Bus + Power supply:

 Belden 3082 A Multi-Conductor (18 AWG for CAN-Bus + 15 AWG for Power supply)
Using this cable, maximum distance from first to last equipment is: 800 mt at maximum transmission
speed of 31250 bit/sec
 Belden 3086 A Multi-Conductor (20 AWG for CAN-Bus + 16 AWG for Power supply)
Single pair for CAN-Bus:

 Belden 3105 A Twisted pair (22 AWG for Can-Bus only)
Power Supply Cable
 Power supply cable can be a twisted pair with copper section proportional to :
o the distance from first and last equipment,
o Number and current consumption of all devices along the line.
o must guarantee the minimum voltage need to the properly functionality of all peripherals at
maximum current.
Can Bus Typology
Similary to all RS-485 communication line, the CAN Bus is a Point-to-Point sequential serie connection.
The wire must have a 120 Ohm resistor at each end.
The typology used is a Class A ( closed line – Loop ) .
It’s not necessary to follow the sequential serie on the peripherals addresses.
T-taps are not permitted.
Cable must be wired in conduits separated by the mains power line and anyway wiring must be compliant to laws
and rules valid in the country of the installation.

Communication lines with Detectors / Modules
The AM-8000 control unit communicates with intelligent detection and control devices which are addressable
through a 2 wire line.
The line can be connected to respect the specifications relevant to the signalling circuit lines of the STYLE 4 (open
line) and STYLE 6 (closed line).
The peripheral devices are powered by using the same line which is used to communicate with them.
 If more than 32 devices (ref. EN54.2) are installed on a line, this must be
configured as closed Loop ( style 6 ).
EN54
 If a connection is performed with a T-branch in a closed loop, not more than 32
! devices must be installed on this branch and these devices must be separated by

circuit cannot be lost  If the line is in Style 6 (Loop) an appropriate number of insulators devices must be
more than 32 alarm provided, in such way to don’t lost more than 32 points in case of short circuit.
points
The detection circuit must be separated by other cables to minimize the risk of interferences
Use twisted cable according to the specifications.
The detection Loop circuit is supervised and current-limited
The connection cables fitted with detectors, the auxiliary devices and the power mains, can be introduced into the
control unit by making some appropriate holes, by running cables along the side walls of the box, and appropriately
providing for those which are located near the terminal block.
Technical specifications of analogue line connection cables

Type of cable: 2 conductors ( for their section refer to the table below )
 Twisted narrow pitch (5 /10 cm.)
 Shielded pair cable
 Max. admitted capacity : 0,5 uF
Cable section
The sections are referred to the total length of the line (in case of “STYLE 6” loop and therefore when the loop is
closed, it is considered the loop length) which, however, must not be longer than 3000 meters and the total
resistance of the line must be lower than 40 Ohm.
Minimum Cable Section
Up to 500 mt. cable 2 x 0,5 mm²
Up to 1.000 mt. cable 2 x 1 mm²
Up to 1.500 mt. cable 2 x 1,5 mm²
Up to 3.000 mt. cable 2 x 2,5 mm²
Number of installed devices for line

The maximum number of devices that can be installed for each of the four detection lines is the following:
 159 Detectors using Advanced Protocol
 159 input and/or output modules
Isolator modules
The insulator modules allow to electrically insulate on the loop a series of devices from the remaining ones,
allowing loop critical components to continue operating even in case of the communication line short circuit.
Input Modules
The addressable inputs modules allow the AM-8000 system to monitor contacts, manual alarm call points, 4 wires
conventional detectors, and several other devices with alarm contact outputs.
Output modules
Through addressable output modules, the AM-8000 system, by means of the programmable CBE equations, can
activate the indication circuits or output relays through voltage free contacts or supervised class A controls.
Intelligent detectors
The AM-8000 control unit can communicate only with analogue detectors declared as compatible by NOTIFIER
ITALIA. In particular, all Advanced protocols devices of the NFX series will enable to use the maximum address
capability of 159 detectors each line.

The total length of the loop couple (from the Panel Loop output and input) SHALL NOT exceed 3.000 mt.

Test procedure for analogue system lines
Before powering the control unit lines, check the following values:
NOTE: A DIGITAL MULTI METER IS REQUIRED
Line resistance
Positive
Side B
Negative
Side A
The direct current resistance of the negative wire of the loop SHALL NOT exceed 20 Ohm.
The measurement must be performed by disconnecting the channels “A” and “B” from the LIB
Multi meter points are to be connected to the Negative wire terminals.
To have the total loop wire resistance, multiply by 2 the value read on the Negative side.
Line insulaton
Place between (+) and (-) of line through a tester, with sensors or modules installed and check the following:
OR
OPEN CLOSED
Test 1:
Connect : Tester (+) / Line (+) and Tester (-) / Line (-)
Check : Resistance: 1 - 1.3 MOhm
Test 2:
Connect : Tester (+) / Line (-) and Tester (-) / Line(+)
Check : Resistance: 0.7 - 0.9 MOhm
Screen shield insulation from the cable/line

Place a test prod of the tester on the line cable screen and the other test prod on the positive cable (+) of the
same line. The resistance measured must be higher than 15-20 MOhm, better if “infinitive”.
Perform the same operation between the line screen and negative cable (-). Check that also in this case the
resistance is higher than 15-20 MOhm.
Earthing /lines insulation

Place a test prod of the tester on the system earthing and the other test prod on the positive cable (+) of the line;
the resistance measured must be higher than 15-20 MOhm, better if “infinitive”.
Perform the same operation between the earthing and negative cable (-) of the line. Check that also in this case the
resistance is higher than 15-20 MOhm.
Earthing /cable screen insulation

Place a test prod of the tester on the system earthing and the other test prod on the cable braid; the resistance
measured must be higher than 15-20 MOhm, better if it is “infinitive”.
Line voltage
With the sensors/modules line connected, the line output voltage must be 24 Vcc without the device query (no
programmed Point)
A voltage much lower than 14 Vcc indicates a connection inversion of sensors or modules.
