2.1.4 OUTPUTS
The F3200 MAF/PSU Module provides 7 relays as standard. These are used for signalling
to the Brigade (Fire Control Station) and for switching alarm bells and ancillary equipment
such as door holders, airconditioning shutdown, etc.
When more than 7 relays are required, additional sets of 8 can be added by fitting 8 Relay
Modules.
All outputs, including the open collectors on the 8 Zone Modules, are individually
programmable by a logic equation of zone and FIP status.
2.1.5 POWER SUPPLY
The F3200 has a 3 Amp battery charger/power supply as standard. There is adequate room
for large batteries.
An optional 6 Amp battery charger/power supply is available. This is factory fitted, but is not
available in the small cabinet FIPs.
Fuse protected battery backed and non-battery backed supplies are available to power
external loads such as bells, illuminated signs, interposing relays, gas release solenoids,
door holders, etc.
2.1.6 REMOTE DISPLAY & PRINTER
A serial port is included in the F3200 to provide a 3 or 4 wire link to a Remote Zone Display
Unit (RZDU). Several versions of F3200 remote displays are available, including the small,
Remote LCD unit.
The F3200 also has a serial port to drive a logging printer, which records all events as they
occur, with time and date. Logging of relay events is programmable. For network systems,
events from other selected devices on the network may be logged into the history and
printed on the local printer, and events generated locally by this system may be printed by
some other device on the network.
2.1.7 NETWORKING
Networking of F3200s allows the sharing of zone, event and alarm information, the ability to
remotely control other F3200s, and, overall, the expansion of an F3200 system beyond 64
zones.
Networking is achieved through a different software version and the fitting of an RS485
Communications board.
