fire alarm

[tazz]

Well this went well, got an Engineer out to program it and he noticed it was a upgraded version from his last one, the comms between PSU and FP refused to work correctly, we had fault light unexplained and after talking to tech' it seems a motherboard fault on the PSU or FP either that or the new upgraded software doesn't work....

F-all connected to the panel except power and was throwing up output faults on Aux relays etc ...very strange so my first impression is WHAT A PILE OF ****!

In software....set Aux monitor to off setting. This will sort out the psu problem. Very common fault on this panel.

That's the 2nd time I've heard someone say that, should it not be the bees knees??

Here is a third...Plastic, very basic panel....Haes & Kentec are metal panels with many program functions such as non latched zones, delayed outputs, non locking relays, zoned relays. etc.
Very useful in shopping centers, and linked panels.

In software....set Aux monitor to off setting. This will sort out the psu problem. Very common fault on this panel.

It wont accept comm's from PSU and thus is always in fault, apparently the previous version didn't require comm's link but this does now so new panel on its way ...not impressed though, I'd expect better for what it cost my client... but I didnt supply so thats how it goes sometimes.

Yes well known fault, with version software....aux monitor will turn it off, but as you say let them send another panel. I sorry to say there will be more to follow, such as detector moving position when panel is reconfig, random faults.....

Kentec Sigma CP 4 Zone Conventional Fire Alarm Panel


something like this, will my existing mcp s and detectors and sounders

Be compatable

Don't know what make are they? Your pics of everything didn't work except the panel pics for some reason.

 

[i=p/u]

This work?

 

[i=p/u]

Ziton z610-1

 

[i=p/u]

This work

 

[tazz]

yes they will work, but by the looks of them they need changing aswell,

 

[i=p/u]

When I put key In to them call points it lifted glass but didn't sound alarm

 

[tazz]

Thats the panel as you have already worked out, once changed will work with ziton detectors....is other issue is the age of the detection, it looks over 10 years, so would suggest changing.

 

[Harni]

When you put the key in the MCP, did you leave it in there for a few seconds? Newer panels will activate immediately but older ones which work on a short circuit can take up to 3 seconds to operate. Some even more although it should be less than 3.

Another we question , how come there was no eol resistors in this system , I did see call points had 1 built in , and you just snipped, but wasn't end of line
