  • Page 5: Introduction

    NTRODUCTION The FP1500 Aritech analogue addressable fire detection system has been designed and manufactured in compliance with EN54-2:1997 and EN54-4:1997 and has approvals pending. Specialized staff with experience in manipulating and connecting electric and electronic devices must perform the installation of the system. The installation should comply with the guidelines and requirements of EN54-14 and any other applicable local authority laws or requirements.
  • Page 6: Glossary Of Symbols

    The maximum cable length is 2 km using a 1.5 mm² diameter cable to ensure proper operation of the system. A FP1500 fire panel may be configured through its keypad and LCD display, with a detailed, easy-to-navigate menu or through an external PC. Additionally there is a windows-based graphics application that runs on a PC for an enhanced visual control and monitoring of the whole installation.

    5.4.1 Earth faults The system detects if a current leakage to earth occurs. The FP1500 indicates this through the “Earth Fault” LED. Even though this does not normally adversely affect the operation of the system, this fault needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
  • Page 47: Double Addresses

    Disconnect the control unit and restart it. Check that the LED is not on and carry out the check of the correct functioning of the system. If the problem persists, the processor of the control unit needs checking. In this case, please contact your distributor. FP1500 Installation, Configuration and Commissioning Manual...
