FIREFINDER SERIES II OPERATION 3 INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING & FireFinder Description The following description does not relate to specific cabinets as the size of each cabinet will vary with the amount of hardware fitted. The heart of the FireFinder Series II consists of two boards collectively known as the Controller. These boards are the Main Board and the CPU board. Combining these two boards with a front panel forms the basis for a FireFinder Series II FACP.
FIREFINDER SERIES II OPERATION INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING & The FireFinder Series II has an internal ASPI (Ampac Serial Peripheral Interface) serial bus. This serial bus provides interfacing to the Brigade /PSU Monitor Board and if required up to eight (8) Sounder Board/s. FireFinder Series II has a second serial interface that connects to ancillary boards these can be used to control and monitor field plant equipment.

FIREFINDER SERIES II OPERATION COMMISSIONING & Main Board The Main Board is the "heart" of the FACP and carries the devices for interconnecting to all the other Boards, a buzzer for auditory indication, the backlight power supply for the LCD and CPU Reset. The Main CPU is mounted on this board and connected to it by CN11.
FIREFINDER SERIES II OPERATION 4.11 INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING & Front Panel Board The Front Panel Board provides the buttons used to control the FACP as well as all LED indications. All LED’s are surface mounted and the buttons are embedded within the board. The LCD is viewed / protected by a clear Perspex screen.
FIREFINDER SERIES II OPERATION 4.12 INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING & Main CPU The Main CPU holds the main central processing unit for the FACP. The CPU is a 4-layer surface mount board The processor (IC1) is a Motorola MC68302, running at 16MHz. The external data bus is 16 bits wide. The board has 256 Kbytes (128K x 16) of EPROM (IC2, IC3). 4Mbytes (2M x 16) of FLASH (IC9). 1Mbytes (512K x 16) of static RAM (IC4, IC5).
FIREFINDER SERIES II OPERATION COMMISSIONING & Slave CPU The Slave CPU (Central Processing Unit) provides the interfacing signals and I/O’s required to allow the FACP to connect / communicate to a variety of termination boards. Automatic Termination Board Sensing A unique feature of the Slave CPU is its ability to automatically sense the type of board it is connected to without the user having to configure the board to suit.
FIREFINDER SERIES II OPERATION COMMISSIONING & Conventional Zone Board Under the control of a Slave CPU the Conventional Zone Board provides the interface between it and the external conventional devices. 16 Conventional zones, with a limit of 32 conventional detectors can be connected to TB4 to TB1.

Each board provides terminations for two loops. One slave CPU is required per loop. The 2 Addressable loops are connected to TB1 and TB2.
FIREFINDER SERIES II OPERATION INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING & 5 Expanding the FACP with Compatible FireFinder Boards 5.1 Ancillary Services The FACP has been designed such that detectors and/or call points, in addition to giving an alarm and calling the fire brigade, will close or open circuits of ancillary services by means of relays or similar devices.
FIREFINDER SERIES II OPERATION 5.2 INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING & Expansion Board The Expansion Connection Board is used to increase the capacity of the controller from 4 Slave CPU’s to 8. Connection from the Controller to the Expansion Board, which must be mounted within 200mm of the Controller, is made via a 20 way flat cable Slave CPU number 5 is an integral part of the Expansion Board, only Slave CPU’s 6, 7 and 8 are plug ins.
FIREFINDER SERIES II OPERATION 5.4 INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING & 16/16 Input / Output Board The Input / Output Board is connected to the slave CPU via CN1 and acts as the interface between the Slave CPU, 8 Way Relay Board and the 16 Way Opto Input Board. Dependant on the panel configuration a maximum of 8 Input / Output boards can be daisy chained together.
FIREFINDER SERIES II OPERATION 5.6 INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING & 16 Way Input Board Opto-Inputs: Up to 16 inputs can be connected to the 16 Way Input Board. These inputs are required to be voltage free contacts as shown below.
FIREFINDER SERIES II OPERATION COMMISSIONING & External Control Interface Board The External Control Interface Board provides interfacing for 8 external 0V control inputs that are configured as outlined in the table below. The FACP is programmed to recognise the individual inputs as listed and initiates the appropriate response. 0V control is configured for a normally open contact for each input with the facility to monitor whether or not the controls are enabled.
FIREFINDER SERIES II OPERATION 5.9 INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING & Zone & General Indicator Card The General Indicator Card comes in two versions each consisting of a front clip on surround, decal, mounting frame, PCB and is clipped into the front panel of the FACP to provide visual LED indication of; Zones in alarm x 32 (red), or Zones in alarm x 16 (red) / Zones in fault x 16 (yellow). Each Indicator can be identified by way of slip in labels.
FIREFINDER SERIES II OPERATION COMMISSIONING & 8 Way Sounder / Bell Monitor Board The 8 way Sounder Monitor Board allow a larger number of bells and sounders to be connected to the FireFinder™ System. The 8 way Sounder Monitor Board is built in two versions: 1. Build 1: All outputs are monitored and provide 1 Amp per circuit. 2. Build 2: The first 4 circuits are Voltage free contacts, the second 4 are as per Build 1. Wiring to the Monitored sounder outputs is as per the Brigade Board.
