www.advancedco.com
Mode
This option is shown on the display for specific device types only. Refer to the appropriate protocol application note
for further information.
Delay
The value in this field defines the delay from detecting an alarm to entering the alarm condition. The delay time can
be changed in 1-second increments.
Alarm Level
The Alarm Level is the level of the analogue value returned by the detector at which the panel will enter a Fire
Alarm Condition. Refer to the appropriate protocol application note for further information.
Pre-Alarm
The Pre-Alarm Level is the level of the analogue value returned by the detector at which the panel will enter a pre-
alarm condition.
Minimum Value
If the detector analogue output falls below the minimum value programmed, the panel will enter a fault warning
condition. Refer to the appropriate protocol application note for further information.
Special Sensitivity Mode SSM/Clock
In addition to the “SENSITIVITY ADJUST MODE”, a device can also run in a “SPECIAL SENSITIVITY MODE”
(SSM) under time-clock control.
All panels supports 10 independent, 7-day time clocks.
With the SAM/SSM Option highlighted, press the ✔ button to view the Special Sensitivity Mode settings. For
example:
SPECIAL SENSITIVITY MODE (MULTI.SENSOR)

[SSM/Clock = 2 ][ Alarm = 55 ]
[ Mode = 5 ][ Pre-Alarm= 40 ]
[ Delay = 5s][ Min.Value= 8 ]
[SAM/SSM]

In the above example the panel is using special sensitivity mode 5 (and time clock number 2). Enter “0” in the
SSM/Clock field to cancel Special Sensitivity Mode.
A number must be entered in the SSM/Clock field to select the appropriate SSM number and time clock. To view
the time clock settings, highlight the SSM/Clock field, and press the ✔ button.
For example:
[Time Clock 2]
DAY ON -> OFF ON -> OFF
MON 00:00 00:00 19:00 00:00
TUE 00:00 06:30 00:00 00:00
WED 00:00 00:00 00:00 00:00
THU 00:00 00:00 00:00 00:00

The panel supports two independent times for each day of the week during which the SSM mode will be switched
on (i.e. during which the Special Sensitivity Mode settings are active)
In the above example the SSM will be active between 19:00 on Monday and 06:30 on Tuesday.
Press the ➔ buttons to select the appropriate time field and use the number buttons to enter the required
times. Press the ‘Esc’ button to return to the previous menu display.
Every type of device (the device type is shown in the top, right hand corner) supports unique SSM settings for each
SSM/Clock number. In the previous example the Special Sensitivity Mode settings have been defined for a Multi-
Sensor that is using SSM/Clock number 2. If other Multi-sensors on the same panel also require the same settings,
then you only need to set them to SSM/Clock 2. If instead another Multi-Sensor requires a different setting, use a
different SSM/Clock number.
3.3.2.9 O/P Group
The Output Group assigned to the Sounder or Relay Devices determines the manner in which the outputs will
operate when a fire alarm or other programmed condition occurs.

www.advancedco.com
For example:
[Loop 1 Devices] <More>
Address O/P Group
020.0 199
021.0 199

007.0 Normal CALL POINT 16

A menu will appear to confirm that you want to “Test This Device”.
Press the ✔ button to confirm or press the ‘Esc’ button to cancel.
Once selected, commands are sent to the detector to turn on the detector LED and put the chamber into test or are
sent to the output device to turn the output on. The “Test” LED lights up and the panel display returns to the list of
devices.
A few seconds after a detector is placed into test, the analogue signal will be seen to rise. If the detector is then left
in the test condition, the Detector State will change to a “Fire Test” status.
The test is cancelled as soon as the display is scrolled up or down or when the ‘View Devices’ option is exited.

3.3.3 Loops – Auto Learn

3.3.3.1 Normal Procedure / Initial learn
The panel can automatically learn the presence or absence of devices at all addresses connected to the loop.
When the Auto Learn option is selected, the panel starts searching each address on the loop to locate and find all
of the devices connected. A display is shown to indicate the progress of this procedure.
For example:

www.advancedco.com
 [Auto Learn Loop 1] HOCHIKI

Address 15 Devices found = 3

When all addresses have been searched, the panel displays a summary screen showing the quantity of devices
found for each type of device.
For example:
[Auto Learn Loop 1] HOCHIKI

Address 127 Devices found = 4

OPT ION MUL TMP MCP SCC I/O ZMU OTHERS
0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0

This summary provides a quick check to ensure that the panel has found all of the devices that should be
connected to the loop.
Press the ‘Esc’ button to return to the main Loops Menu.
3.3.3.2 Procedure if the Panel finds Devices Missing
When the panel cannot communicate with a device previously programmed into the panel, the Auto Learn process
is suspended and the display shows a pop-up window with options. For example:

KEEP THIS DEVICE .

DELETE THIS DEVICE
KEEP ALL MISSING
DELETE ALL MISSING
! Address 002 DEVICE MISSING

If the missing device is kept (or all missing devices are kept), the panel remembers the programming for these
devices. The panel will report a fault condition until such time as the missing devices are reconnected.
If the missing device is deleted (or all missing devices are deleted), the panel clears all previous programming for
these devices. This includes any sensitivity threshold changes, text assignments, zone assignment, action, etc.
Press the  buttons to highlight the required menu option and then press the ✔ button to confirm. The pop-up
window will disappear and the panel will continue with the auto learn process.
If a single device is deleted and another missing device is subsequently registered, the display will once again
show the pop-up window to keep or delete this device.
3.3.3.3 Procedure if the Panel finds Devices Added
When the panel finds a device not previously learnt and programmed in the panel, the Auto Learn process is
suspended and the display shows a pop-up window with options. For example:

ACCEPT NEW DEVICE .

REJECT NEW DEVICE
ACCEPT ALL NEW DEVICES
REJECT ALL NEW DEVICES
! Address 002 NEW DEVICE

www.advancedco.com
If the new device is accepted (or all new devices are accepted), the panel will configure the memory to register
these devices. All data will be configured to initial settings for sensitivity threshold changes, text assignments, zone
assignment, action, etc. for these devices.
If the new device is rejected (or all new devices are rejected), the panel clears all programming for these devices
and will not attempt to communicate with the devices at these addresses.
Press the  buttons to highlight the required menu option and then press the ✔ button to confirm. The pop-up
window will disappear and the panel will continue with the auto learn process.
If a single device is accepted / rejected and another new device is subsequently registered, the display will once
again show the pop-up window to accept or reject this device.
3.3.3.4 Procedure if the Panel finds Devices Changed
When the panel finds a new type of device installed at an address previously learnt and programmed in the panel,
the Auto Learn process is suspended and the display shows a pop-up window with options. For example:

ACCEPT NEW DEVICE .

KEEP OLD DEVICE
ACCEPT ALL NEW DEVICES
REJECT ALL NEW DEVICES
! Address 002 TYPE CHANGE

This situation could arise for example if a heat detector has been installed in place of an optical smoke detector.
If the new device type is accepted (or all new device types are accepted), the panel will configure the memory to
register these devices. All data will be configured to initial settings for sensitivity threshold changes, text
assignments, zone assignment, action, etc. for these devices.
If the new device type is rejected (or all new device types are rejected), the panel remembers the programming for
the original devices. The panel will report a fault condition until such time as the correct device types are
reconnected.
Press the  buttons to highlight the required menu option and then press the ✔ button to confirm. The pop-up
window will disappear and the panel will continue with the auto learn process.
If a single device is accepted / rejected and another new device type is subsequently registered, the display will
once again show the pop-up window to accept or reject this device.

3.3.20 Output Groups
The “Cause and Effect” programming is a schedule of actions that will turn on one or more outputs dependant on a
set of input events.
The Outputs Option provides the means to create simple or complex “cause and effect” programming within the
panel. Delays can be introduced to allow a phased evacuation of a building (Note this is different to an
“Investigation Delay” which is detailed in section 3.3.21).
This section describes the settings and options in detail for each parameter. Refer to Appendix 4 – Cause and
Effect Programming Example for a description of how to program a typical requirement.
More complex “Cause and Effect” programming may be undertaken using the PC Configuration tool.

When the OUTPUTS Option is selected, the display shows the cause and effect programming for Output Group 1.
For example:

[Output Group 1] [ 3.9% Mem used]

ZONE CAUSE STYLE=Delay->MODE Wait
1 ANY FIRE 00 - On
2 ANY FIRE 00 - On
3 ANY FIRE 00 - On
4 ANY FIRE 00 - On

To simplify the cause & effect programming, one or more outputs that will respond in the same way when the same
set of input events occurs can be grouped together. This association of outputs is called an Output Group.
The panel can support up to 200 of these Output Groups.

To select a different Output Group, press the  button to highlight the Output Group Number field and then enter
the number of the output group required using the number buttons. The display always shows the Output Group is

3.3.20.2 Cause
Each Output Group can be programmed to respond in a unique way to events from each individual zone. An input
event may be a fire alarm condition, or it may be a fault, disablement or other condition. A combination of criteria
may also be applied to each zone.

The Cause field determines what type of input event (or a combination of input events) will generate an output
response for the selected input zone.

[Output Group 1] [ 3.9% Mem used]

ZONE CAUSE STYLE=Delay->MODE Wait
1 ANY FIRE 00 - On
2 ANY FIRE+ 00 - On
3 ANY FIRE 00 - On
4 ANY FIRE 00 - On

Press the ✔ button to change the setting and a pop-up window will appear showing the options available. For
example:

[FIRE ] [D/K FIRE] [ALARM][PRE-ALARM]

✔ - - -
[FAULT] [I/P DISABLE][TEST ][ CONTROL ]
- - - -

Press the➔ buttons to highlight the required menu option and then press the ✔ to change its setting. An
input action type is enabled when a ‘✔’ is shown beneath the option. It is permitted to select multiple input types in
which case a combination of input events will result in an output action. If there is a combination of input events, the
CAUSE display above shows this extended programming by adding a ‘+’ to the text. For example, Zone 2 above
shows that the basic event is ANY FIRE + other criteria.
Press the ‘Esc’ button to return to the previous display.
The definition for each cause is as follows:

Cause Definition
Fire Any single fire.
Double Knock (D/K) Coincidence of 2 or more fire detectors or a single manual call point in the same zone.
Alarm Activation of an input device programmed with an ‘Alarm’ action.
Pre-Alarm A device in a pre-alarm condition.
Fault Any device entering a fault condition.
Input Disabled Whenever an input device is disabled.
Test A 'Walk Test' fire in the zone.
Control A control input in this zone will cause activation.

Type C: Coincidence Detection.

The operation of the Coincidence Detection (Double Knock) feature is on a per zone
basis.
Section 7.12

PC Type B: Confirmation.
ONLY Optional confirmation filters can be configured via the PC Tool on individual devices.

3.3.20.3 Style
The way in which an output turns on in response to a particular input event can be programmed. For example, an
output may turn on immediately, it may turn on after a delay or it may pulse for a set time and then turn on. This
method of operation is called a Style. A style may have up to three different methods of operation. For example,
Delay➔ Mode, Wait➔ Mode, Wait➔ Mode.
Style 00 is fixed to turn on immediately an input event occurs.
Style 01 is fixed to pulse immediately an input event occurs.
Styles 02 to 20 are programmable.
Press the➔ button to step on to the style field. Change the setting using number entry to select the required output
style. If the style is already programmed elsewhere, the relevant style parameters are automatically entered into
the appropriate fields.
3.3.20.4 Delay
The delay field is the time from qualification of the input event to something happening at the output. The delay
time can be set in intervals of 1 second up to a maximum of 250 seconds.
Press the➔ button to step on to the delay field and change the setting using number entry.
3.3.20.5 Mode
The mode field defines the method of operation of the output when it is first activated. This can be ON or PULSE.
Press the➔ button to step on to the delay field and change the setting using the ✔ button.
Note: Pulse settings are by default 1-second ON / 1-second OFF. Other pulse options can be specified on the PC
Tool (such as 2s ON / 3s OFF) – these can be assigned to on-board outputs only.
3.3.20.6 Wait
The wait field is the time from first activation of the output to the next operational condition (mode) of the output.
For example, the output could initially be delayed for 20 seconds and turn on in a pulsing mode. After a wait of a
further 30 seconds it can be programmed to turn on differently such as ON. The wait time can be set in intervals of
1 second up to a maximum of 250 seconds.
Press the➔ button to step on to the wait field and change the setting using number entry.
3.3.20.7 Copying Output Settings to Multiple Zones
To save time in the entry of similar Output Group Settings for each zone, it is possible to copy information
programmed for a particular zone to subsequent zones.
Press the  button to highlight the required zone number and then press the ✔ button. The display shows a pop-
up window prompting for the number of the zone to which to copy the information.
Use the number entry to select the required zone number. The Output Group programming for all of the zones from
the currently selected zone to the zone number entered will be programmed with the same information as the
currently selected zone.

3.3.21 Investigation Delays

In addition to the “Cause and Effect” programming described above, the panels also support
PC an “Investigation Delay Mode” which allows time for a building supervisor to investigate fire
ONLY signals before turning outputs on. This mode can only be configured from the PC software.

There are two parts to this delay. The first stage is set relatively short. If the building supervisor does not
acknowledge the fire signal within the first stage, the delayed outputs will turn on. The second stage gives a longer
period to investigate the fire signal. This delay can be cancelled at any time by pressing the EVACUATE button, or
any nominated input devices (by default, all call points cancel this mode).
Each input and output device can be individually programmed to use the investigation delay from the PC
configuration software, together with the times appropriate to each stage of the delay. The user manual gives
details of how the building occupier can turn the investigation delay feature on or off.

www.advancedco.com
 Delays to Outputs.

It must be possible to override the operation of any delays at Level 1. Refer to Section
3.3.21.1 for information on overriding delays.
Section 7.11
For compliance, the maximum total delay permitted is 10 minutes.

3.3.21.1 Overriding Delays at Level 1

A facility to override any programmed delays and immediately activate the sounder circuits should be provided at
Level 1. It is possible to override the delay using the panel controls (see the user manual for details). This can also
be achieved from an input device (such as a manual call point) that is programmed to turn on all outputs
immediately.

3.3.22 Test
This function is the same as User Level 2 function – refer to User Manual for further information.
The following functions can be tested:
 Zones / Inputs
 Display
 Buzzer
 Printer
 Outputs

3.3.23 LED Indications

This option is not provided from Software Version 050-04.
The operation of all MXP-513-XXX LED Indicator Cards MUST be configured using the PC Tool.
Panels equipped with integral panel LED indicators on the display card will default to indicate fire alarms in Zones
1-20. The operation of these can be adjusted using the PC Tool.

PC Each LED can be individually configured via the PC Tool to either zone assignment, output
ONLY group assignment or other function.

5.2.1 Detector Loop Lengths – Apollo, Hochiki and AV 16

With the above cables, loops can be up to 2Km in length. However, care must be taken when designing the system
to take into account the maximum loop loading. The voltage drop (load current x cable resistance) over the cable
always needs to be taken into account to ensure the devices receive an adequate supply voltage. The following
table gives recommendations for a loop. (It may be possible to extend the lengths where the devices are distributed
evenly – refer to the device data sheets and Loop Calculators for further information on calculating loop loading,
cable cross sectional area and loop distance).

5.2.2 Sounder Circuit Lengths
The voltage drop on each alarm circuit should be calculated to ensure that the minimum voltage at the end of the
circuit exceeds the minimum required by each sounding device at the minimum alarm circuit output voltage.
The voltage at the end of the circuit is given by:
Minimum Alarm Voltage = VOUT(MIN) – (IALARM x RCABLE)

Minimum Output Voltage (VOUT(MIN)) is VBAT(MIN) – 0.5V = 20.5V

Alarm Current (IALARM) is the sum of the loads presented by the sounding devices in alarm
Cable Resistance (RCABLE) is the sum of the cable resistance in both cores x cable length.
Cable Resistance (RCABLE) for 1.0mm2 is 0.036Ω / metre
Cable Resistance (RCABLE) for 1.5mm2 is 0.024Ω / metre
Cable Resistance (RCABLE) for 2.5mm2 is 0.015Ω / metre

Insulation Resistance

5.2.3 Fire / Fault Routing Circuit Lengths

The voltage drop on each transmission circuit should be calculated to ensure that the minimum voltage at the end
of the circuit exceeds the minimum required by the relay coil at the minimum circuit output voltage. Typically, relays
will energise at 75% of their nominal drive voltage (i.e. 18V for a 24V coil)
The voltage at the end of the circuit is given by:
Minimum Coil Voltage = VOUT(MIN) – (ION x RCABLE)
Minimum Output Voltage (VOUT(MIN)) is VAUX(MIN) – 0.8V = 19.7V
Maximum On Current (ION) is 35mA.
Cable Resistance (RCABLE) is as above.

modules can include 4-Way Relay, 4-Way Sounder, Modem, Page, Sounder Splitter, etc. The sum of all these additional currents should be entered in these fields.
Ensure that the total alarm load does not exceed the AUX output rating.
25
The alarm load should be doubled to allow for changes in battery efficiency for loads in excess of the recommended C/20 discharge rate. The total load calculated
should be multiplied by a de-rating factor of 1.25 to allow for changes in battery efficiency over time. The above calculation is in accordance with the
recommendations in BS5839-1: 2013.

5.4 Appendix 4 – Cause and Effect Programming Example

5.4.1 Introduction
By default, all sounders and output devices will turn on immediately as soon as a fire is detected anywhere in the
system. For example:
Cause Effect
Any Fire, Anywhere. ➔ ALL Output Devices will Turn ON

Quite often an installation will require a more complex “Cause and Effect” solution. Consider a multiple story
building where phased evacuation is required when a fire occurs on a particular floor. For example:
Cause Effect
Any Fire on Floor 7 ➔ Sounders on Floor 6 will DELAY for 30 seconds, then start
(From Zones 22, 23 or 24) PULSING. After 2 minutes turn ON
➔ Sounders on Floor 7 will Turn ON
➔ Sounders on Floor 8 will DELAY for 30 seconds, then start
PULSING. After 2 minutes turn ON

5.4.2 Output Groups

There may be several sounders on each floor. These can be grouped together using the Output Groups so that a
single group number can easily reference all sounders on a particular floor in the panel. For example:
Sounders Output Group
Assign All Sounders of Floor 6 ➔ Output Group 6
Assign All Sounders of Floor 7 ➔ Output Group 7
Assign All Sounders of Floor 8 ➔ Output Group 8

Refer to Section 3.3.2.9 for how to assign the output group to a loop output device. Refer to Section 3.3.20.1 for
how to assign the output group to an internal panel circuit.

5.4.3 Styles
In the example, there are two ways in which the sounders should ring. These two operational characteristics can be
defined as Styles in the panel. For example:
The first Style is that the sounders should turn on immediately a fire is recognised in Zone 22 or in Zone 23 or in
Zone 24. The panel contains a default Style (Style 00) for this method of operation.
The second Style is that the sounders should stay silent for 30 seconds and then start pulsing. After 2 minutes of
pulsing, they should then turn on. This is a little more complex but is easy to program. In the following description, a
new Style (Style 2) will be defined for this purpose.
It is quite likely that Style 2 will be used extensively in the cause and effect programming for the rest of the building.
For example, a fire on Floor 8 may also require the sounders on Floors 7 and 8 to operate in this manner.

5.4.4 Output Group Programming
To achieve the above cause and effect requirements, the three different Output Groups would be programmed and
indicated on the panel as in the following display examples:

5.6 Appendix 6 –Network Design Principles
This section gives recommendations on the design of the installation to cover specific EN54-2 requirements and
typical national codes of practice.
[EN54-2: 1997, Clause 13.7] Not more than 512 fire detectors and / or manual call points and their associated
mandatory functions shall be affected as a result of a system fault in the C.I.E.

5.6.1 Mandatory Functions

For full compliance with the requirements in EN54-2, the configuration and operation of all mandatory outputs shall
comply with the guidelines below.
Sounder Devices [EN54-2: 1997 Clause 7.8]:
Care should be taken with the cause and effect programming to ensure that any sounder / sounder output is
configured such that its fire response operation will only be affected if there is a system fault on the chassis / panel
to which it is directly connected.
Consideration should also be given to the applicable code of practice or national standard regulations for fire
systems installation (for example BS5839-1: 2002) for installation and operation of sounder devices.
Fire & Fault Routing [EN54-2: 1997 Clauses 7.9 & 8.9]:
Network: If provided, then at least two fire and fault routing interfaces or a fail-safe redundant connection shall be
provided. These should be programmed to report all fire and all fault conditions. See 2.5.13 and 2.5.12 for further
information.

5.6.2 Network Wiring

Where the installation design and codes of practice deem the network connections to be a 'Critical Signal Path'
then consideration should be given to the use of the Ad-NeT-PluS® Fault Tolerant Network. For further information
see document 680-502.
In addition, the routing and type of cables employed is important to limit the risk of multiple failures causing overall
or partial loss of the network functions. BS5839-1: 2002 Sections 24-2 and 26.2 provide a useful guide.

— Use fire resisting

cables.
— Configure the
network as a loop.
— Employ diverse
routing of incoming
and outgoing Detector Loop Wiring
circuits, except in the
immediate vicinity of
the sub-panel.
— There is no loss of
communication to
any sub-panel in the
event of a single
open or short circuit
on the loop.

5.6.3 Parent Functions

Parent functions shall be provided with a redundant capability. Typical parent functions are Fire Routing, Fault
Routing and Fire Brigade Panels.
VdS 2095: If the installation is > 12000m2 then a redundant display is required. This may be a fire brigade panel, a
remote terminal or another CIE.

Max № of logic terms available to the user depends upon the number of logic blocks defined. Each logic block requires a terminator term. This terminator uses up
one of the available logic terms. Therefore, the number of logic terms available for use will be the Max № of Logic terms – the № of Logic blocks used – for example,
using 20 logic blocks in an Mx-5400 will give 500-20=480 Logic Terms available to use.
