1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Contents of the documentation

The present Technical Descriptions and Operation Manual (TD&OM) enables to get familiar with the

application, design and operation of the IGNIS 1030 fire alarm control panel, which constitutes

a fundamental part of the IGNIS 1000 fire detection and alarm system.

1.2 Control panel application

The IGNIS 1030 fire alarm control panel is designed to:

− signal a fire detected by interoperating fire detectors and manual call points,

− indicate the place where the fire occurs by identification of the detector line containing the activated

fire detector,

− control interconnected external fire protection devices,

− transmit a fire alarm signal to a fire monitoring centre.

The control panel interoperates with two-state (conventional) 40 and 30 model range fire detectors. It is

designed for detection of fire in small premises such as small stores, shops, offices, religious and

telecommunication buildings, as well as a satellite control panel in bigger hierarchic installations. The

control panel is adapted for continuous operation in premises with low dusting level within the operating

temperature range from -5 0C to + 40

0C, and 80 % relative humidity at +40

0C.

1.3 Safety conditions

1.3.1 Electric shock protection

The IGNIS 1030 fire alarm control panels are ranked at the 1st

protection class and can be used only with

additional protection against electric shock in a form of zeroing or grounding.

The 230 V/50 Hz supply wires insulation is strengthened so that they are able to transmit 2800 V test

current and a low-voltage (below 42 V) wires insulation resists 700 V AC test voltage. After connection of

mains supply wires, the supply terminal must be protected by a special cover delivered together with the

control panel.

1.3.2 Installation and equipment safety

The wire installation should be executed using appropriate flame resistant wires and must be properly

protected in places where it passes fire zone boundaries. The required distance between the low-voltage

installation and the mains power supply wires or a lightning-conductor should be provided in order to avoid

undesirable interactions.

The control panel should be connected to the mains power supply with a PE protected cable. From the

electromagnetic disturbance system resistance point of view, a grounding protection should be provided.

Reserve batteries should be mounted inside the control panel at the final stage of assembly process.

The device elements are heat sensitive. The maximum ambient temperature must not exceed +40 0C. The

surrounding space should be large enough to secure free air flow. The relative humidity inside premises

where the control panel is installed should not be higher than 95 %.

1.3.3 Ionisation smoke detector servicing

ID-E341-001GB 6

In case the control panel interoperates with ionisation (isotope based) detectors, their installation,

dismantling and storage may be executed only by ‘an authorised installer’, i.e. an organisational unit which

– according to the Art. 4 of the Nuclear Law Act – has obtained a permission issued by the National Atomic

Energy Agency president to act in this domain.

1.3.4 Repairs and maintenance

Maintenance and periodic inspections should be carried out by a skilled personnel of companies being

authorised or trained by POLON-ALFA. Any repair must be executed by the manufacturer.

The manufacturer bears no responsibility for the operation of any equipment serviced or repaired by an

unauthorised personnel.

1.3.5 Fuse replacement

The appropriate type and nominal value fuses should be used for replacement. Suitable types and nominal

values are indicated in p. 13.3.

5 GENERAL OPERATION PRINCIPLE

The IGNIS 1030 is a conventional (non-addressable) fire alarm control panel interoperating with non-

addressable fire detectors installed in detector lines that are ended with end-of–line resistors. The control

panel signals a fire alarm and a fault state exact to a whole line (not particular detection points).

A control panel microprocessor circuit reads out all necessary information from input lines, monitors the

manipulation element state, controls optical and acoustic signalling devices and output circuit relays. The

circuit also contains an event register, co-operating with a real time clock and with a RS 232 serial port.

6 CONTROL PANEL DESIGN

6.1 Mechanical design

The control panel is placed in a casing adapted for wall suspension. The control panel front part is

in a shape of a door with manipulation and signalling elements mounted on it, as well as event register

clock display and a lock for switching on the 2nd

stage access to the manipulation elements. The door can be

opened after removing two fastening screws; the lock with a key is only an electric switch. Channels for

leading alarm system wiring and mains power supply cable are placed in the back wall of the cabinet. An

event register RS socket covered with a cap is located on the left side wall. The control panel view together

with its dimensions is shown on Fig. 1.

ID-E341-001GB 9

Fig. 1 IGNIS 1030 overall view and basic dimensions

6.2 Signalling and manipulation elements on the front panel

Every signalling element and push button on the front panel has its own description. In further part of this

section, to facilitate identification, each element is described with a succeeding number according to Fig. 2

before its name.

(1) 1…3 ZONE – red colour zone diodes ascribed accordingly to 1…3 detector lines. The diode illuminates

with a continuous or a flashing light, when any fire detector in a given detector line is in an alarm mode.

The first zone, where an alarm mode has occurred, is signalled with a flashing light; the following zones –

with a continuous light. The alarm mode resetting - with the RESET push button;

ID-E341-001GB 10

(2) 1…3 ZONE – yellow colour zone diodes ascribed to 1…3 detector lines accordingly. The diode illuminates

with a continuous light, when a particular detector line is in a disabling (switching-off) mode.

A flashing light of the diode means that a particular detector line is in a fault or test mode. The flashing

frequency is higher in a test mode than in a fault mode.

(3) TRANSMISSION – a red colour diode signalling - with a continuous light - that a signal is being

transmitted to a monitoring centre;

(4) FIRE – a red colour display signalling a general fire alarm: with a pulsing light (1 Hz frequency) until the

personnel confirms its presence; with a continuous light – after pressing the ACKNOWLEDGE push button;

(5) display (without any description) – a liquid crystal display (LCD) presenting during quiescent mode the

current date and time; during alarm mode indicating a zone number in which the first alarm has occurred,

elapsing time foreseen for the personnel appearance and recognition of a hazard, and during the control

panel programming – a current function setting. A detailed description of the indications is given in p. 7.3;

(6) POWER SUPPLY – a green colour diode confirming the control panel proper operation with a continuous

light, supplied from the 50 Hz mains or from a reserve battery;

(7) DISABLEMENT – a yellow colour diode signalling disablement of: at least one zone, signalling devices or

alarm transmission;

(8) TEST – a yellow colour diode signalling a test mode of at least one detector line;

(9) FAULT – a yellow colour diode signalling a fault mode of whichever circuit being under supervision; a

circuit or a fault type is indicated by five particular diodes (10 to 14) and three zone diodes (2);

(10) POWER SUPPLY – a diode that signals: with a continuous light – a battery fault, and with a flashing

light – mains fault;

(11) SYSTEM – a yellow colour diode signalling a fault in the microprocessor circuit programming process or

a falsification of the premises data;

(12) EXTERNAL DEVICES – a yellow colour diode that signals a broken or damaged circuit of the monitoring

line that is used by the control panel to supervise external devices;

(13) SIGNALLING DEVICES – a yellow colour diode indicating an external signalling device breakage or

short-circuited state;

(14) EARTH FAULT – a yellow colour diode signalling an earth fault of any circuit of the control panel;

(15) TRANSMISSION; OFF/ON – a push button for switching off or on a disablement of a fire signal

transmission to a monitoring centre; a yellow colour diode signals a disablement of a fire alarm

transmission to a monitoring centre; a consecutive push button pressing switches the diode on and off;

(16) SIGNALLING DEVICES; OFF/ON – a push button for switching on and off/silencing external signalling

devices. A consecutive pressing of the push button switches the signalling devices on and off; a yellow

colour diode signals switching the devices off (disabling). The signalling devices can operate only in a fire

alarm mode;

ID-E341-001GB 11

(17) PERSONNEL; OFF/ON – a push button for switching over the control panel mode: ‘personnel

present/personnel absent’ and inversely; a yellow colour diode signals a lack of personnel (i.e. without any

alarm verification delay in one-stage alarm mode);

Fig.2 Front panel view

(18) ACKNOWLEDGE – a push button for a fire alarm receipt confirmation by the personnel and, at the

same time, for silencing acoustic signalling devices;

(19) RESET – a push button for the control panel or detectors in detector lines fire alarm mode reset;

(20) PERSONNEL ACCESS – a switch (a lock with a key) to alter the access level from the first one to the

second – activates the manipulation elements designed for usage at the second access level (all push

ID-E341-001GB 12

buttons placed on the front panel). The first access level allows to use the ACKNOWLEDGE push button

only.

(21) FUNCTION SW.OVER, (22) SELECTION, (23) SET – the push buttons operating at the 2nd

access level that

allow to use several functions. The SELECTION push button, in all functions, moves the cursor only to the

right. The SET push button is designed to change a function parameter. A flashing digit occurring alternately

with the cursor on the display means a setting change possibility.

6.3 Manipulation elements inside the control panel

The following manipulation elements are mounted on the main printed circuit board (PCB) and are

accessible when the door is open:

FUNCTION, SET, SELECTION – three push buttons inside the control panel that enable a usage of several

functions accessible at the 3rd

access level. The push buttons action and their use are the same as those for

the functions at 2nd

access level;

RESET - a push button triggering the control panel controller restart;

ZW10 - connection of two contacts (#2 and #3), located near the board edge, results in switching off

a program filter that enters a detector line mode change signalisation delay – then the control panel reacts

to a detector line mode change immediately;

Note: The control panel operation mode with the filter switched off does not ensure a proper interference

resistance. This mode is foreseen for servicing needs.

ZW9 - unused;

ZW8 - connection of two contacts (#2 and #3), located near to the board edge, results in a program

disablement of an earth fault signalling;

ZW3…ZW7 - unused.

measure insulation endurance; located near the clamp board;

BZ1 - fuse (1 A) - battery charging circuit protection;

BZ2 - fuse (0.5 A) - external device power supply output protection;

MAINS SWITCH - a two-pole mains power supply on/off switch, installed above the power supply

module.

ID-E341-001GB 13

7 CONTROL PANEL FUNCTIONALITY

7.1 Quiescent mode

In a quiescent mode, i.e. when the control panel waits for a signal from fire warning devices, only a green

colour POWER SUPPLY (6) diode is lit on the front panel informing that the control panel is power supplied.

Additionally, the LCD (5) displays the current time and date.

General alarm relays and zone relays are inactive and general fault relay is in an operating mode.

7.2 Access to manipulation elements

Four access levels to the manipulation elements are provided:

- the 1st

access level for persons who take first measures after a fire or fault signal occurrence. At this

access level, only the ACKNOWLEDGE (18) push button is active, as well as a signalling element testing

procedure which is activated by pressing the PERSONNEL (17) push button;

- the 2nd

access level intended for persons holding special responsibility for the fire safety who are trained

and authorised to service the control panel within a limited scope. The second access level is obtainable by

turning a lock key. It allows to use all the push buttons located on the device’s front panel;

- the 3rd

access level is designed for trained persons who are authorised to change the configuration data

and carry out maintenance works. The 3rd

level manipulation elements are located inside the control panel;

- the 4th

access level provided for persons trained and authorised by the manufacturer to change the

factory software and carry out the manufacturer service.

7.3 LCD indications

The IGNIS 1030 control panel is equipped with a 16-character alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD). Its

main function is to set and display the exact time and date, as well as the control panel configuration

parameters. The current time and date are used in an automatic event recording system. Additionally, the

LCD supports the panel operating personnel displaying information concerning the control panel mode or

the functions of activated push buttons.

During the control panel normal operation, in a quiescent mode, the LCD displays a date and time. All other

information, except an alarm mode, is displayed momentarily. After some seconds the control panel

automatically switches to a date and time displaying status.

The following information appears on the display:

a) the current date and time

- display example: “99 – 12 – 31 23:59”

b) the control panel alarm mode (the indication lasts until the alarm reset)

- z. 3 ALARM! 0’00, where:

- z. 3 – the number of the zone where the first alarm took place (range - z. 1 … 3);

- 0’00 – the current fire alarm transmission delay time (range – 0’00...9’59).

c) external signalling devices switching on or off:

- SIGNALL.DEV.ON

- SIGNALL.DEV.OFF

5. Alarm counter readout

An alarm counter readout is possible only after choosing the below presented LCD indication with

the FUNCTION push button. (An exemplary alarm counter display is being considered)

0001 z2 07 – 09 – 31

(alarm number, zone number, year-month-day)

The zone number informs about the alarm origination and is consistent with the detector line

number (1…3).

ID-E341-001GB 15

The display indicates the latest alarm number and the number of the zone where the alarm

occurred together with its date. A readout of a given alarm event time with 1-s accuracy is possible

after pressing the SELECT push button; then the date is replaced by the time as it shown below:

0001 z2 17 : 15 : 48

(alarm number, line number, hour-minute-second)

Pushing the SELECT push button results in displaying the date alternatively with the time.

It is possible to read previous alarms out by ‘rewinding’ the counter using the SET push button.

A return to the latest alarm takes place after exiting the function by pressing the FUNCTION push

button and a renewed alarm counter readout function selection.

h) information displayed using functions available at the 3rd

level (utilising the push buttons located inside

2 reset and will be inaccessible for any other zone.

8. Monitoring line programming

OPTION Lk1 – 0 where Lk1 indicates a line number,

0 – monitoring line operation option number (0 or 1).

More information about the above functions is available in the ‘Programming and activation’ section.

7.4 Alarm mode

7.4.1 Fire alarm signalling

The following indications may be seen on the front panel during a fire alarm:

- one of the ZONE 1…3 zone indicating diodes switches on immediately; the first zone where a fire

has occurred is distinguished with an interrupted light, all others shine with a constant light;

- the general alarm display, with a FIRE communique, flashes;

ID-E341-001GB 16

- a fire alarm communique, indicating the zone number where the first alarm occurred

and an elapsed time remaining until general fire alarm relays are activated, appears on the LCD;

- an internal acoustic signalling device is switched on operating with an interrupted 0.5 s/0.5 s signal.

The acoustic signal may be silenced at the 1st

access level by pressing the ACKNOWLEDGE push button.

7.4.2 Fire alarm verification by the attending personnel

The control panel enables an event verification by the personnel in case of a fire alarm. It is required that

an attending person approaches the panel and confirms a receipt of an alarm notice within 30 seconds by

pressing the ACKNOWLEDGE push button. In case the person fails acknowledgment within the given time

period, the control panel will start an alarm transmission outside without any delay, i.e. to

a monitoring centre or to a fire brigade, or will automatically activate fire fighting devices (depending on

a programmed action). After the fire alarm receipt acknowledgment, the person on duty is given an

additional period, with programmable length, for a recognition of a real fire threat in the premises.

The elapsing time for the alarm acknowledgment and for the threat recognition is displayed on the LCD (5).

When a threat does not exist, the person should reset the light signal with the RESET push button. This

operation is possible when no fire hazard is present in the fire warning device vicinity and the 2nd

access

level is obtained by turning the PERSONNEL ACCESS switch-lock key to a horizontal position.

7.4.3 Automatic alarm signal verification

The control panel possesses a wide range of possibilities to verify fire signals coming from fire warning

devices. A recognition of a received signal as a fire alarm is preceded by multiple checking readouts of the

detecting line state. Moreover, it is a possible to program the following alarm variants for every detector

line:

• one-stage normal alarming;

• two-stage normal alarming;

• one-stage alarming with a preliminary reset;

• two-stage alarming with a preliminary reset;

• two-stage alarming with zone-time interdependence

• one-stage alarming with zone-time interdependence.

The description of the above alarm variant operation and their programming method is presented in the

9.1 ‘Alarm variants programming’ section.

7.5 Fault mode

The control panel fault mode is signalled in case of:

- a break of or a short-circuit in any detector line;

- a break of or a short-circuit in any monitoring line;

- a break of or a short-circuit in external acoustic signalling device lines;

- a mains power supply fault;

- a battery fault resulting from its internal resistance increase above 2 Ω or a lack of a battery;

- a battery charging device fault;

- a break in the charging circuit;

- a BZ2 fuse insert burn-out;

- a microprocessor system fault;

- an earth fault, i.e. connection of any control panel circuit or a line connected thereto with

the metal control panel casing or with the grounding.

A fault mode is signalled by the control panel generally with the yellow FAULT (9) diode and with one of

yellow (10…14) diodes that indicate the fault type as well as with an acoustic fault signal. A detailed

information concerning the fault type is available on the LCD after selecting the FAULT READOUT function

utilising the FUNCTION (21) and SET (23) push buttons. Silencing of the sound signal is possible at the 1st

access level by pressing the ACKNOWLEDGE push button. A reset of light signalling proceeds automatically

ID-E341-001GB 17

after the fault removal. The only exception is a kind of the system fault caused by a serious damage of the

microprocessor controller which cannot be silenced, due to its importance, with the ACKNOWLEDGE push

button. A system fault resulting from false configuration data can be silenced with the ACKNOWLEDGE

push button but in such the case it is necessary to check the control panel configuration settings and,

eventually, correct them. If the signalling still persists, after such checking/correcting, it means that the

control panel is damaged. It is necessary to switch the control panel power supply off and call the service

personnel.

7.6 Disablement mode

In the control panel it is possible to disable:

- every 1…3 detector line of 1…3 zone accordingly;

- a signal transmission to a monitoring centre or to external devices;

- the line to an external signalling device.

Disabling and re-enabling is possible at the 2nd

access level. After a disablement, the general DISABLEMENT

(7) diode is lit as well as the appropriate diode of the disabled circuit: ZONE 1…3 (2) or TRANSMISSION (15)

or SIGNALLING DEVICES (16). During a detector line disablement, the line power supply is switched off.

7.7 Test mode

The control panel allows testing fire detectors in detector lines by activating them with e.g. imitators.

Switching a zone into the test mode is possible utilising the TEST ON function at the 2nd

access level. An

activation of this function is possible with the FUNCTION (21) push button. During the test mode, the TEST

(8) diode is lit and the yellow (2) diode indicating the tested line (zone) flashes. A tested detector, after its

actuation, signals an alarm within ca. 8 s, and afterwards the detector line is automatically reset.

An inspection of all diodes and an internal sound signalling device may be carried out, after pressing the

PERSONNEL – OFF/ON push button and holding it for more than 3 s at the 1st

access level.

7.8 Signal transmission/auxiliary equipment controlling

The control panel is able to control protecting devices or transfer fire alarm signals to a monitoring station

using the relay outputs that are activated during a fire alarm. The general alarm relay operation may be

disabled with the TRANSMISSION (15) push button. The zone relays are programmable, they operate

immediately after an alarm indication but the general alarm relays can operate also immediately or with a

programmable (at the 3rd

access level) delay of 0 to 9 min 59 s, with 1-s step. The programmed delay may

be switched on and off for each zone separately. A delay in activation of these relays, what unequivocally

means in actuation of the fire fighting equipment or in an alarm transmission, depends whether the

personnel is present at the control panel and how much time it needs to ACKNOWLEDGE.

If the control panel is in the PERSONNEL ABSENT mode, the delay time is shortened to zero. When the

control panel operates in the PERSONNEL PRESENT mode and the ACKNOWLEDGE push button is not being

pressed within 30 s, then the control panel activates the general alarm relays despite the delay time is set

for more than 30 s.

7.9 Acoustic signalling devices

Besides the internal sound signalling device, being activated in case of an alarm or a fault, it is possible to

install, via an LA monitoring line, external signalling devices. Those devices may be switched on and off with

the SIGNALLING DEVICES – OFF/ON (16) push button, but the push button operation depends on

programmable “0” or “1” option for a given line. In case the “0” option is programmed, in an alarm mode

the ACKNOWLEDGE push button silences both internal and external sound signalling. At the same time the

SIGNALLING DEVICES (16) push button may switch on and off again the external signalling devices (without

usage of a lock-switch key). In case the control panel receives an alarm signal from another zone, the

internal and external acoustic signalling is repeated.

If the “1” option is programmed, the external signalling device line may be used as a fire fighting equipment

controlling line. Then the SIGNALLING DEVICES (16) push button, allowing this line disablement, operates

ID-E341-001GB 18

only at the 2nd

access level. Usage of the ACKNOWLEDGE push button does not influence the line, utilised in

this way; also a following alarm will not unblock this output.

The SIGNALLING DEVICES (16) diode illumination indicates the external signalling devices silencing (“0”

option) or the controlling line disablement (“1” option).

7.10 External device operation inspection

The control panel is equipped with two monitoring lines designed to inspect operation of the connected

external devices. The contacts of relays (closed - during proper operation) or switches of the devices that

are controlled should be in a series connection to such a line. Any device fault that results in opening of the

control contacts, or any fault of the line itself (a breakage or a short-circuit), evokes a fault signal in the

control panel. Every monitoring line must be ended with a 10 kΩ resistor.

It is possible to program the monitoring line operation pursuant to the “1” option regarding the external

devices being inspected that switch the control contact over during an alarm (e.g. automatically open

smoke dampers).

The monitoring line programming is described in the section 9.8.

Two options of the monitoring line operation are provided:

“0” – a break of or a short-circuit in a monitoring line that causes an external device fault signal regardless

the operation mode;

“1” – in a quiescent mode – the operation as in the “0” option;

in an alarm mode – the operation is inverted, i.e. a lack of a break (or a short-circuit) evokes an

external device unmaskable fault signalling with a 60-s delay measured from the general alarm relay

activation.

7.11 Power supply

Primary power supply. The control panel is primarily supplied from 220 V/50 Hz or 230 V/50 Hz mains. A

voltage alteration within +10 % and – 15 % range does not influence the control panel proper operation. An

internal 24 V power supply module produces 1.1 A current efficiency, 0.5 A of which is used by a battery

charging circuit, 0.2.A is provided for power supply of the control panel itself and the remaining 0.4 A is

reserved for external devices.

Reserve power supply. In case of a mains voltage outage, the control panel is supplied from reserve

batteries of 24 V nominal voltage and 5 Ah capacity. A switch-over from the main power supply to the

reserve one is carried out automatically, without any break in power supply. The control panel, supplied

from the batteries only, without any additional device power consumption but with the full load of 3

detector lines, is able to operate within 72 h in a quiescent mode and 0.5 h in an alarm mode. In case the

control panel is configured with an auxiliary equipment that requires some power consumption (especially

in a quiescent mode), it is necessary to keep in mind that the reserve battery supplied control panel

operation time would be shortened respectively. The battery panel is automatically charged by the control

panel battery charger. The efficiency of the battery itself and the charging device is constantly inspected

and any fault is signalled. The battery is recognised as inoperative when its internal resistance (together

with the connection resistance) increases and exceeds 2 Ω.

The battery installation, operation and waste-disposal must be carried out pursuant to a manufacturer’s

instruction manual. A waste battery must be delivered to a proper collecting and recycling point in

accordance with the law in force.

Power consumption from a battery. In a quiescent mode, without the primary power supply, with the full

quantity of fire warning devices In three detector lines, but without additional devices power consumption,

the control panel current consumption does not exceed 55 mA.

Automatic power supply switch-off. During the control panel operation, power supplied only from a

battery panel, the battery voltage progressively decreases. A reserve power supply voltage drop down to

ID-E341-001GB 19

ca. 22 V is acoustically signalled. Further decline in the battery panel voltage and achieving 21 V level will

result in the control panel automatic switch-off. In an alarm mode this function is blocked. The power

supply renewed switch-on, after a properly charged battery re-connection, may require a usage of the

WŁ.AKU push button which is available after opening the control panel door on the power supply module

board near the +AKU- clamps. The primary power supply restoring will automatically switch the control

panel on.

8 INSTALLATION

8.1 The control panel mounting

The control panel shall to be mounted on a wall using three expansion anchor bolts of minimum diameter

at 8 mm. The spacing of the fastening bolt holes is shown on Fig. 1. The control panel mounting shall be

executed only without batteries.

8.2 Wiring

Detecting, monitoring and controlling lines should be led according to the commonly applicable principles

used in telecommunications. They must be continuous and ended with end-of-line resistors. The lines

cannot be installed along high voltage power cables.

The detector line wires can be inserted into the control panel from the installation, being led either on or in

wall plaster. They are let in the control panel upper part through round bushings, separately the mains

supply wires, and the low voltage wires. The control panel connecting contacts layout and description is

shown on Fig. 5. The 230 V/50 Hz mains wires shall be connected (after removing a covering plate) to the

purposely marked mains supply terminals - Fig. 4. The control panel can be used only with an application of

electric shock protection, in a form of zeroing or protective grounding. The laboratory tests that check the

control panel interference resistance required by the obligatory standards, were carried out with grounding

protection.

9 PROGRAMMING AND ACTIVATION

9.1 Alarm variant programming

In the IGNIS 1030 control panel it is possible to program - independently for each zone – one of the listed

below alarm variants.

One-stage normal alarm

A line element activation immediately evokes the main fire alarm (of the 2nd

stage) – switching the general

alarm transmission relays on. This variant is applicable especially in the cases when a fire signal comes from

manual call points which are treated as an unquestionable information source.

Programming:

- using the FUNCTION push button, select the function

VARIANT z.1 – 0

- with the SELECTION and SET push buttons set the required zone number and variant number – “0”

- using the FUNCTION push button, select the function

DELAY ON z.1 – 0

- with the SELECTION and SET push buttons set the appropriate zone number and “0” (on the last LCD

position), what will result in switching the chosen zone delay off.

Two-stage normal alarm

ID-E341-001GB 20

The main alarm (of the 2nd

stage) – switching the alarm transmission relays on takes place after a

programmable delay time (0…10 min). A line element activation is signalled optically and acoustically until

the personnel on duty confirms its presence and acknowledge the 1st

stage alarm (with the ACKNOWLEDGE

push button). Lack of the personnel attendance confirmation and the alarm acknowledgement within 30 s

evokes a general alarm: the alarm transmission relays are switched on. The personnel attendance

confirmation and the alarm acknowledgment before elapsing of the 30-s time, delays the main alarm

according to the settled delay time (0…10 min), what enables to recognize the occurred fire threat.

Programming:

- using the FUNCTION push button, select the function

VARIANT z.1 – 0

- with the SELECTION and SET push buttons set the required zone number and the variant number – “0”

- using the FUNCTION push button, select the function

DELAY X’ XX’’

- with the SELECTION and SET push buttons set the appropriate delay time in minutes (0…9) – position X on

the display and in seconds (00…59) – two following positions XX.

NOTE: The set delay time value is common for all zones.

- with the FUNCTION push button, select the function

DELAY ON z.1 – 1

- with the SELECTION and SET push buttons set the appropriate zone number and “1” (on the last LCD

position), what will result in switching the chosen zone delay on.

One-stage alarm with a preliminary reset

This method consists in an immediate reset of a detector line alarm mode after a detector actuation and

detecting an alarm by the control panel, without any information transmission to the signalling circuits of

the control panel. A repeated activation of any detector in the same detector zone (line) within 60 s will be

treated as the main (2nd stage) fire alarm. Lack of a repeated activation of the same or another element in

the same zone within the 60-s period after the initial reset will entail that the control panel treats the

previous signal as false and returns to a quiescent mode.

Programming:

- using the FUNCTION push button, select the function

VARIANT z.1 – 1

- with the SELECTION and SET push buttons set the required zone number (z.1) and a variant number – “1”

- using the FUNCTION push button, select the function

DELAY ON z.1 – 0

- with the SELECTION and SET push buttons set the appropriate zone number and “0” (on the last LCD

position) what will result in switching the chosen zone delay off.

Two-stage alarm with a preliminary reset

The only difference between this variant in comparison with the previous one is that after the second

activation of a fire detector the 1st

stage fire alarm is evoked. The general alarm transmission relays are

switched on only after the set delay time lapse.

Programming:

- using the FUNCTION push button, select the function

VARIANT z.1 – 1

- with the SELECTION and SET push buttons set the required zone number and a variant number – “1”

- using the FUNCTION push button, select the function

DELAY X’ XX’’

- with the SELECTION and SET push buttons set the appropriate delay time in minutes (0…9) – position X on

the display and in seconds (00…59) – two following positions XX.

ID-E341-001GB 21

NOTE: The set delay time value is common for all zones.

- using the FUNCTION push button, select the function

DELAY ON z.1 – 1

- with the SELECTION and SET push buttons set the required zone number and “1” (on the last LCD

position), what will result in switching the chosen zone delay on.

Two-stage alarm with zone-time interdependence

After an actuation of a line element that belongs to one of two interdependent zones, the control panel

awaits consecutive signals without a fire alarm evoking. In case a line element installed in the other zone,

constituting the interdependent zone pair, activates within 60 s after the first actuation, the control panel

evokes a 1st

stage alarm; after the set delay time lapse –evokes a 2nd

stage alarm. Lack of the activation of

the element in the other zone within 60-s period will entail that the control panel treats the previous signal

as false, automatically resets the alarming fire detecting device and returns to a quiescent mode.

Programming:

- using the FUNCTION push button, select the function

VARIANT z.1 – 2

- with the SELECTION and SET push buttons set the number of one interdependent line (zone) and then the

variant number – “2”

- using the FUNCTION push button, select the function

DELAY X’ XX’’

- with the SELECTION and SET push buttons set required delay time in minutes (0...9) – position X on the

display and in seconds (00...59) – two following positions XX.

NOTE: The set delay time value is common for all zones.

- using the FUNCTION push button, select the function

DELAY ON z.1 – 1

- with the SELECTION and SET push buttons set the number of the first line (zone) of the pair of

interdependent lines (zones), then write “1” (on the last LCD position), what will result in switching the

chosen line (zone) delay on

- repeat the above operation for the second line (zone) of the interdependent pair so that every line (zone)

of the pair has a delay switched on.

NOTE:

In a 3-line control panel it is possible to form an interdependent line pair of 1 and 2 lines. Loading the

variant #2 for #1 line (zone) results in an automatic creation of dependent lines and automatically assigns

the variant #2 to the other line (zone) constituting the pair. Similarly, a failure to choose the variant #2 and

assigning the variant #0 or #1 to a line (zone) constituting the pair will result in an automatic loading of the

variant #0 for the other line (zone) of the pair. (In the explanation the term ‘zone’ is bracketed because in

the previous variants a line corresponds with a zone, whereas here the projected zone will be composed of

two lines.)

In case another interdependent line pair shall be formed, it is necessary to change places of the detector

line connection on the clamp board.

One-stage alarm with zone-time interdependence

The control panel operation is same as in the preceding alarm variant with one exception: the 1st

stage

alarm is omitted and the 2nd

stage alarm is evoked immediately.

In the programming process it is necessary to switch off the delay of at least one interdependent zone of

the pair (i.e. in the DELAY ON z.1 – 1 function a required zone number should be set and “0” on the last LCD

position should be chosen - resulting in switching the chosen zone delay off).

9.2 Current date and time setting

In order to set the current date and time, the SELECTION, SET and FUNCTION push buttons, placed on the

control panel front plate, are provided. A date and time setting should start from entering “setting date and

ID-E341-001GB 22

time” function of the control panel by pressing the FUNCTION push button. The LCD (5) will show a date

with the first digit (tens of years) flashing. The digit flashing means that it is possible to alter its value with

the SET push button. The SELECTION push button pressing moves the cursor to the next digit. In this way it

is possible to set all the digits representing the current date and time (e.g. 99-12-31 23:59).

The SELECTION push button enables to move the cursor only to the right. A return to the beginning of the

display is possible after passing all the digit positions.

The control panel is equipped with a battery that supports the clock in case of the mains and reserve

batteries voltage outage.

9.3 General alarm transmission delay programming

An alarm transmission delay programming is possible with the control panel door open. Two following

functions are used in this respect:

- a general alarm relay activation programming function

DELAY X’ XX’’ where X’ means minutes: 0...9,

XX’’ means seconds: 0...59

- a general alarm relay activation delay switch-on function, depending on a zone number,

DELAY ON z.1 – 0 where 0 – means switching the delay off,

1 – means switching the delay on

z.1 – indicates a chosen zone number (1...8).

The “DELAY ON” function requires, apart from the zone number (1...3) indication, to enter “1” – when the

delay is to be switched on, or “0” – when the delay is to be switched off. It allows to switch the delay off for

selected detector lines in which the general alarm relays must operate immediately (for instance for the

lines with manual call points installed in). Any detecting line acknowledged alarm with a delay switched on

(which value is set using the DELAY function) will cause a general alarm relay delayed activation. Lack of

alarm acknowledgment shortens the delay time to 30 s. In the “personnel absent” mode the control panel

reduces the delay time to zero. The described delay concerns only two general alarm relays; zone relays

operate always without any delay.

The general fire relay activation transmission delay programming is linked with alarm variant programming

(see p. 9.1).

9.4 Relay programming

The IGNIS 1030 control panel is equipped with two general alarm relays and 3 zone relays. The general

alarm relays operate only during the 2nd

stage alarm and they are not programmable (except the 2nd

stage

alarm delay programming described in p.9.3).

The zone relays are provided with a programming function that enables to attribute each zone with an

optional relay number and optional quantity of relays of a 1...3 range. An activation of a zone relay may

happen during an alarm or a reset of the detector line (zone) the relay is attributed to.

Programming:

- open the control panel

- using the internal FUNCTION push button (by pressing it several times repeatedly), select the following

display indication: z.1 – Pk: 1 – –

- with the SELECTION and SET push buttons assign desired relay numbers to the selected zone.

To increase the display clarity every relay number has a separate position on the LCD which can be

switched on (by entering the relay number) or switched off (by entering “–“), for instance: z.3 – Pk: – 1 2 –

means that an alarm in the zone 3 will entail switching P1 and P2 relays on. One relay may be assigned to

one or several zones.

Zone relays act without any delay. In case it is necessary to activate a zone relay with a delay, it is possible

to connect in series its contacts with one of two general alarm delay contacts.

Apart from relay operation programming depending on a zone alarm, it is possible to program any relay, of

the same number as the zone number in such way that it switches over its contacts when the zone is reset

ID-E341-001GB 23

by entering “*” symbol. A relay programmed in that way may not be attributed to any other zone (of the

number inconsistent with that relay number) where a “x” symbol – programming blocking – occurs

automatically. For instance,

z.2 – Pk: – * 3

setting means that the relay 2 will switch its contacts over during a reset of the zone 2 and will not be

accessible for any other zone (“x” mark), whereas the relay 3 will be activated during an alarm in the zones

2 and 3 if the zone 3 is left with default settings:

z.3 – Pk: – x 3

In the above example switching zone 1…3 numbers over will produce the following display indications:

z.1 – Pk: 1 x -

z.2 – Pk: – * 3

z.3 – Pk: – x 3.

9.5 External acoustic signalling device output programming

The IGNIS 1030 control panel is provided with a controllable output for external alarm device connection.

Its usage depends on an option being programmed and is described in p 7.9.

Programming:

- open the control panel

- using the internal FUNCTION push button (by pressing it several times repeatedly), select the following

display indication: EXT.AL.OPTION – 0

- with the SELECTION and SET push buttons choose one of two possibilities: “0” or “1”.

9.6 Event memory readout and reset

The IGNIS 1030 control panel is equipped with a memory of the events which took place during the

premises supervision. The following cases are recognised:

- fire alarms;

- any fault detected by the control panel and its elimination;

- alarm or fault signal acknowledgment;

- configuration setting alteration;

- alarm resets;

- zone switching-over for testing;

- alarm transmission activation (general fire relay);

- disablement and activation of an alarm transmission/general fire relay.

Every occurrence communique (containing its date and time with 1-s accuracy) is registered. A special part

of the event memory has been delimited to register only fire alarms – they are registered in a counter of

9,999-case capacity. A fire alarm counter readout on the LCD is possible after entering the control panel 2nd

access level (as described in p. 7.3 g). An event list printout is provided by a special software using a

personal computer.

Other occurrences, which are not connected with an alarm mode, such as faults, disablements,

configuration changes, etc. are registered separately. When this memory capacity – 512 occurrences – is

exceeded, new cases are registered at the beginning of the memory overwriting the oldest ones. An entire

memory contents readout and printout is available after sending the data from the control panel to a PC

through a RS 232C serial port the control panel is equipped with. The data transmission to a computer is

executed after the event memory readout function activation.

It is possible to reset event memory contents using the function described in p. 7.3 h at the 3rd

access level.

9.7 “Standard configuration” loading

The IGNIS 1030 control panel is delivered to a customer with initially assumed operation conditions

determined by the manufacturer, described as a ‘standard configuration’. The control panel programming

by the customer changes the factory default settings optimally adapting its parameters to a system needs

ID-E341-001GB 24

and protected premises features. The control panel is provided with a function that enables an automatic

reset of the customer’s settings and a return to the standard configuration.

To load the standard configuration it is necessary to:

- open the control panel;

- select the following display indication: STANDARD CONF. – 0 using the internal FUNCTION push

button (by pressing it several times repeatedly);

- switch the function on entering “1” with the SET push button;

- restart the control panel with the RESET push button.

The following control panel parameters are loaded after executing the above mentioned operations:

- all zones are switched on;

- all zone delays are switched on;

- delay time is set at 1 min 30 sec;

- all zone alarm variants are assigned with 0 number;

- external alarm option – 0;

- monitoring line operation option – 0;

- every zone (line) is matched with one zone relay of the same number as the zone number;

- the TRANSMISSION, SIGNALLING DEVICES, PERSONNEL push buttons are in ON position (lack of

disablement).

9.8 Monitoring line programming

The control panel is equipped with two monitoring lines which activation may be programmed separately

according to “0” or “1” option (see p. 7.10).

Programming:

- open the control panel;

- select the following display indication: OPTION Lk1 – 0 using the internal FUNCTION push button

(by pressing it several times repeatedly);

- with the SELECTION and SET push buttons, select one of two possibilities: “0” or “1”.

10 EVENT MEMORY READOUT SOFTWARE

10.1 Hardware requirements

a) a PC computer equipped with:

- accessible RS 232 (COM type) serial port;

- hard disc of ca. 0.5 MB free memory;

- Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista/7 operating system;

- floppy discs 1.44 MB drive or similar device that enables to save a readout;

- Internet connection.

b) a cable to connect the control panel with the computer.

10.2 Control panel-computer connection

Before starting the program, a computer should be connected to the control panel. This operation should

be carried out when the computer is switched off. A connecting cable should be ended with a 9-contact

connector from the control panel side and a 9- or 25-contact connector from the other side.

In case an available cable is ended with 9-contact connectors on both sides and the computer is equipped

with a 25-contact connector, it is possible to use an adapter available at IT accessories stores. On the below

diagrams it is shown how to connect a computer with a control panel when the computer is equipped with

a 9- or 25-contact connector.

10.3 Software launching and event memory readout

The software necessary for an event memory readout and information materials are available on

www.polon-alfa.pl web site after obtaining an access code.

After connecting the control panel to the computer, it is necessary to:

- switch the computer on;

- copy the igniswin.exe file to a hard disk;

- launch the igniswin.exe program;

- when a possibility to choose a control panel and a serial port appears on the screen, select IGNIS

1030 type and appropriate COM serial port, depending on which port the control panel is

connected to;

- switch over the control panel to the 2nd

access level (turning the key to a horizontal position);

- start the event memory transmission pushing the ACKNOWLEDGE push button at the control panel

and holding it for about 5 s until the moment when the data transmission indicator, located on the

computer screen, signals the transmission.

The event register will appear in a program ‘window’ ready for readout.

In order to print the event list out, an option ‘print’ should be chosen from the ‘file’ menu.

NOTES:

- if the control panel is connected to a mains supplied computer, the control panel will detect and

signal an earth fault. It may be disabled for the printout period with the ZW1 jumper.

- in case noticeable errors occur (such as a text displacement, crabbed marks, etc.) or a transmission

error emerges, it is necessary to repeat the data transmission from the control panel to the

computer.

11 CONTROL PANEL SPECIAL APPLICATIONS

Explosion endangered premises protection

Installation of fire detectors and manual call points in zones where explosive mixtures of gases and liquid

vapours occur is possible in intrinsically safe detector lines. Such circuits secure an [Ex Ib IIC] safety

category.

ID-E341-001GB 26

Intrinsically safe circuits in the IGNIS 1000 system may be created in conventional detector lines with an

application of the following separators manufactured by STAHL company:

- single-channel 9167/13-11-00s;

- double-channel 9167/23-11-00s.

A separator application extorts certain restrictions on a detector line which entire resistance should not

exceed 2 x 30 Ω and total fire detector quiescent current should not be higher than 0.5 mA. The detector

line should be ended with a 5.6 kΩ/0.5 W end-of-line resistor.

The following maximum quantities of currently manufactured Ex detectors are allowed to be installed

behind an intrinsically safe separator:

- DIO-37Ex intrinsically safe ionisation smoke detector – 8 pcs., or

- DUR-40Ex intrinsically safe optical smoke detector – 8 pcs., or

- TUN-38Ex intrinsically safe heat detector – 4 pcs. (KDB certificate limitation), or

- PUO-35Ex intrinsically safe flame detector – 1 pce. (KDB certificate limitation), or

- ROP model range intrinsically safe manual call points (with 1 kΩ/0.5 W resistor) – 10 pcs., or

- 10 other manufacturer (e.g. Det Tronics) detector connectors that require an installation in parallel

of an alarm 1 kΩ/0.5 W resistor.

NOTE:

A detector line short-circuit behind a separator is signalled as a fire alarm. A line short-circuit between the

separator and the control panel is always signalled as a fault. Any separator should be installed in an

intrinsically safe zone, directly before an endangered zone. An intrinsically safe line with a separator should

be led with an unscreened cable provided for explosion hazardous zones.

12 INPUT AND OUTPUT CIRCUIT CONNECTING TERMINALS

The control panel is equipped with a set of connecting terminals designed for connection of alarm

installation wires, external devices and mains power supply. The terminals enable connection of wires of a

maximum diameter at 1.2 mm and a cross section at 1.5 mm2

with a screen. Terminal locations and their

marking are shown on Fig. 3.

Fig. 3 Output terminal arrangement

ID-E341-001GB 27

Mains power supply: Three cable terminals are provided to connect 230 V/ 50 Hz mains wires and a

protection wire. The terminals are protected against incidental touch with a covering plate. The protection

wire should be connected to a bolt placed inside the control panel on its back wall. The bolt is accessible

after removing the protective plate covering the mains connectors.

Detector lines: The detector lines should be connected to three pairs of connectors with properly marked

polarisation. It is recommended to create detector lines using a screened cable certified by an appropriate

authority, e.g. in Poland – with YnTKSY ekw 1 x 2 x 0.8 cable certified by the CNBOP. Terminals to connect

the cable screens to the control panel metal cabinet are placed above the detector line terminals marked

LD1…3 (Fig. 5). The detecting lines should be ended with 5.6 kΩ end-of-line resistors. In case any unused

lines, the end-of-line detector shall be mounted on the control panel output terminals.

Monitoring lines: LK1 and LK2 monitoring lines, designed for external device state supervision, are

provided with terminals with appropriately marked polarisation. The lines should be ended with 10 kΩ

resistors.

A controlling line (LA – alarming line This line is monitored and designed mainly to connect external

acoustic devices (option “0”). It may be also used for fire fighting device control (option “1”). To ensure

proper monitoring and controlling of the connected signalling devices or other equipment, the total line

resistance should range from 200 Ω to 10 kΩ. In case of higher resistance of the controlled equipment or

when a line remains unused, it is necessary to connect in parallel an end-of-line 10 Ω resistor.

Fire alarm relay outputs: Relay outputs, activated during a fire alarm, are designed to control additional

protecting devices or to transfer information about the control panel mode to a monitoring centre. The

control panel is equipped with alarm mode outputs marked as P1, P2, P3, PA1, PA2 which terminals are

connected to the clamp board.

P1, P2, P3 zone alarm relays, programmable, implicitly assigned to consecutive detector lines so that

the LD1, LD2, LD3 line alarm mode evokes an activation of P1, P2, P3 relay respectively. It is

possible to program a link of any detector line (zone) alarm with an optional combination of

P1, P2, P2 relays. In case of detectors that need a supply circuit break for alarm mode reset,

it is possible to program any P1, P2 or P3 relay so that the contacts are switched over

during the control panel alarm mode reset (see p. 9.4 ‘Relay programming’).

PA1, PA2 the general alarm relays, switch the contacts over immediately when a 2nd

stage occurs or

with a programmable 0…10-minute delay. In the ‘personnel absent’ operation mode the

delay is zeroed. It is possible to block the PA1, PA2 relay operation using the

TRANSMISSION OFF/ON (15) push button.

Fault signal relay output: Contacts of the PUO general fault relay are shown on Fig. 3 in the position,

when the control panel is switched off from the supply voltage. During the control panel normal operation,

this relay is switched on. It is released when any fault or supply voltage outage occurs. A typical application

of the relay is a fault signal transmission to a monitoring centre.

External device power supply output: Two pairs of terminals of 24 V DC voltage, located on the clamp

board, are designed for power supply of the external devices that are activated e.g. from relay outputs. The

positive terminal is protected with a monitored 500 mA fuse.

NOTES:

1. In case external devices draw current also during quiescent mode, the control panel operation time

which is supplied from internal batteries during a mains power supply outage, will decrease

proportionally to the current consumption from the control panel and will be shorter than 72 h.

2. Connection of high inductance devices, such as relay coils, electromagnets, etc. should be

accompanied by an installation of a protecting semiconductor diode (e.g. 1N4007), connected in

parallel to the device terminals.

13 MAINTENANCE

13.1 General rules

Fire alarm systems, as safety installations, must to be continuously kept at full efficiency, therefore they

require proper maintenance. The premises user is obliged to ensure the installation maintenance, best of

all by signing an agreement with a maintenance technician.

The maintenance means carrying out periodical inspections and removal of possible faults. The

maintenance technician should thoroughly study this manual. He should know exactly the operating

principles of the control panel and interoperating manual call points, automatic fire detectors, as well as

other devices connected. It is highly recommended to pass a training organized by the manufacturer that

covers fire alarm systems application, installation and operation. The maintenance technician should also

know the premises territory, displacement of the system, detector line routes, arrangement of fire

detectors and environmental conditions that may influence the devices work.

13.2 Periodical testing

The periodical checks consist in operation tests of every fire detector, manual call point, the control panel

and its output circuits: the external signalling device or fire fighting device controlling line, as well as the

protecting device monitoring line and the monitoring system circuits.

Periodical testing frequency: the manufacturer recommends executing the periodical tests every 6 months.

Nevertheless, the system owner, in agreement with the system designer and the maintenance technician,

should increase the test frequency, if the system operating conditions are hard (high humidity, corrosion

environment, dusting, etc.).

The periodical testing consists in:

- event memory readout (using a computer), in order to prove the control panel proper operation

and appropriate work of the attending personnel;

- testing of every signalling diode and acoustic signalling device of the control panel;

- consecutive testing of every fire detector (e.g. using imitators) and manual call points installed in

every detector line, utilising a possibility to switch any line for testing;

- visual evaluation of the fire detectors technical condition (level of dirt, corrosion, permanent soil)

and of manual call points, especially in case of their longer operation, that should be carried out

during a device testing;

- if necessary, cleaning of the fire detectors and their replacement or regeneration;

- checking the external signalling devices and connected protective and fire fighting devices under

condition that the premises user is informed and taking necessary measures to avoid panic or any

damage in the building resulting from the test execution. The external signal receivers and a

monitoring centre must be notified of a planned test;

- battery clamp voltage checking – the proper value amounts to 27.1…27.6 V

- battery condition checking – according to the battery manufacturer recommendations.

13.3 Fuse replacement

The control panel is equipped with two fuses in the following circuits:

- reserve batteries charging (BZ1) – 1 A;

- external device power supply (BZ2) – 500 mA.

Both fuses are accessible after the control panel opening.

ID-E341-001GB 29

14 STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION

Packaging

The control panel is placed in a unit packing, reducing free movement possibility and eliminating damage

occurrence during loading and transportation.

The following data are marked on the package:

- the name and/or the trade mark of the manufacturer;

- the name and the type of the control panel;

Additionally, the following marking is placed on the package:

“CAUTION FRAGILE”, “UPPER SIDE, DON’T TURN OVER”, “KEEP DRY” or equivalent marks according to the

PN-85/O-79252 Polish Standard.

Storage

The control panel should be stored in closed premises at a temperature between +5 and +40 0C and relative

humidity not exceeding 80 %, free of corrosive vapours and gases. In case the control panel is stored for a

longer period, it is necessary to connect it to a power supply for at least 1 hour and execute operation tests

every 6 months.

During storage the control panel should not be exposed to heat radiation: direct sun light or heating

devices.

Transportation

The control panels should be carried in their packing by closed transport means, taking into consideration

the transport recommendations marked on the package, and protecting against sharp shocks and avoiding

ambient temperature exceeding the –25 to +55 0C range.
