The ACSP-402 fire alarm control panel is designed to:

• monitor operation of automatic and manual call points,
• control sirens,
• control devices used to transmit fire alarms and failure signals
• control the operation of fire protection devices or systems,
• monitor the operation of fire protection devices or systems,
• monitor the operation of other external devices,
• control other external devices

These features make it possible to detect a fire at its earlies stage and alert the users of the building with acoustic and/or optical signals as well as notify relevant services. This in turn allows one to quickly commence fire-fighting activities. The control panel can also automatically activate fire protection devices.

System structure

• support for up to 256 zones
• support for up to 32 groups
• possibility to create interlinks between zones, sub-zones and groups
• support for up to 256 call points (detectors / MCPs)
• support for addressable detection circuits of the following types:
  • loop (up to 2 circuits)
  • radial line (up to 4 circuits)
  • loop with a side line / side lines
• support for a printer
• extensive functions for testing the control panel and system

Inputs

• 4 programmable inputs on the control panel mainboard (NO, NC)
• monitoring of external devices status, e.g. for reporting fire alarms and failures

Outputs

• 2 control outputs for conventional sirens

Control panel mainboard module

• LEDs for signalling the status of the control panel and external devices
• LCD display for:
  • setting up the control panel
  • presenting information about fire alarm
  • presenting information about disablement, test or failure conditions
  • viewing the list of current disablement, test or failure conditions
  • viewing the history of alarms and other events
• USB port to connect a computer
• power supply connection
• battery connection
• built-in piezo transducer for acoustic signalling
• real-time clock with battery back-up power

Power supply

• switching mode power supply APS-318 with short circuit protection
• automatic switching to back-up power supply (battery) in case of failure of the main power supply
• battery charging circuit with temperature-compensated charging voltage
• monitoring of the battery status and disconnection of a flat battery
