6.7 FireFinderTM Description
The following descriptions do not relate to specific cabinet sizes, as the size of each cabinet will varydependant upon the amount of hardware fitted.
The heart of the FireFinderTM consists of two boards that combine to form a controller. These boards arethe Main Board (API–674) and the CPU board (API–675). When combined with a front panel board (API–690) this forms the basis for a FireFinderTM panel. A single FireFinderTM controller without an expansionboard has the capacity to interface to (4) FireFinderTM Slave CPU’s (API-669) modules. Slave CPU’s mayinterface to either 16 Zone Conventional Boards, Apollo Loop Termination Boards or Input/OutputModules. It also communicates with the Brigade interface Card (API-673).
The Main Board (API-674) mounts the CPU Board (API-675) and up to three FireFinderTM Slave CPU’s.The first slave CPU is permanently mounted on the Main Board (API-674). (See fig 4 and attached blockdiagrams). The FireFinderTM Slave CPU’s have the same software installed and their operation type isdetermined by the interface board into which it connects.
If the system is to be expanded above four modules an Expansion Board (API-688) is used. Thisexpansion board contains FireFinderTM Slave CPU No. 5 and three expansion sockets for three moreFireFinderTM Slave CPU’s. This configuration allows for the maximum number of modules (8) which onecontroller can accommodate. If a system is required to expand beyond eight modules then either localnetworking using other controllers (up to a total of four within the one cabinet) may be fitted or externalnetworking must be used.
The FireFinderTM also provides an internal serial bus. This serial bus provides interfacing to the followingmodules. 32 zone mimic board (API-700), Pump indicator board (API-717), Valve indicator board (API-716) and Serial Relay Board (API-732).
A fan control module (FCM) (159-0020) is also available. This operates in conjunction with a slave CPU(159-0046) module. Up to 10 FCM’s may be connected to one slave CPU.
Where a system exceeds the capability of one FireFinderTM then other FireFinderTM panels can benetworked together to provide an expanded system containing multiple modules. It can be configuredinto different scenarios if required ie (Peer to Peer, Main sub, Stand-alone data gathering points).
This network bus can be accessed using either a Network Interface Card* (NIC API-724) and/orController Interface Card (CIC API-725). Modules that are supported on the network are Remote LedRepeater Board (API-715), Remote Liquid Crystal display (API-720, API-721), remote FireFinderTM mainpanels and other FireFinderTM remote data gathering panels.The network configuration determines whether an NIC or a CIC or a combination of both is required.

6.8.1 Brigade / PSU Monitor Board
The API 673 Brigade/PSU Monitor Board is designed to monitor some of the Brigade board outputs,monitor and control the battery charging/power supply inputs and outputs and to provide relay outputs asshown in the Fig 5.
The Bells may be terminated to bell outputs 1 and 2 on the API 673 Brigade/PSU Monitor Board. Thealarm outputs are also available on this board.
The FireFinderTM provides a monitored bell circuit split to drive two 2 Amp circuits. Each bell circuitrequires a 10K EOL resistor to give a system normal indication. If either circuit is open or shorted, thebuzzer will sound on the panel and a bell fault will be indicated on the LCD in the brigade status display.These lines are monitored using a small current in reverse polarity to normal. For this reason it isnecessary to connect the bells via diodes, 1N4004 diodes (1A 400V) or equivalent are recommended.Also observe bell/sounder polarity.Relay outputs marked NO C and NC are voltage free contacts. Outputs marked +ve and -ve are fittedwith monitoring resistors (10k).
For all outputs combined, total output current is 2A (if 2.5A power supply is being used).Once you have ensured that all field wiring and devices are installed and terminated correctly theFireFinderTM is now ready to turn on.Turn the mains power on, and connect the batteries observing correct polarity. The green power on ledshould be lit.

Alarm verification facility (AVF) - that part of the CIE, which provides an automatic resetting functionfor spurious alarm signals so that they will not initiate master alarm facility (MAF), or ACF functionsinadvertently. This is set by using the Config-Manager prior to downloading to FireFinderTM
Alarm zone - the specific portion of a building or complex identified by a particular alarm zone facility.
Alarm zone circuit (AZC) - the link or path that carries signals from an actuating device(s) to an alarmzone facility(s).
Alarm zone facility (AZF) - that part of the control and indicating equipment that registers and indicatessignals (alarm and fault) received from its alarm zone circuit. It also transmits appropriate signals to othercontrol and indicating facilities.
Alert signal - an audible signal, or combination of audible and visible signals, from the emergencywarning system to alert wardens and other nominated personnel as necessary to commence prescribedactions.
Ancillary control facility (ACF) - that portion of the control and indicating equipment that on receipt of asignal initiates predetermined actions in external ancillary devices.
Ancillary equipment - remote equipment connected to FIP.
Ancillary relay - relay within FIP to operate ancillary equipment.
Ancillary output - output for driving ancillary equipment.
Approved and approval - approved by, or the approval of, the Regulatory Authority concerned.
Card detect line - a link on a module connector to indicate the disconnection of the module.
Control and indicating equipment (CIE) - a combination of control equipment and indicatingequipment.
Conventional System - is a fire detection system using a dedicated circuit for each alarm zone.
Distributed system - a fire alarm and detection system where sections of the control and indicatingequipment are remotely located from the fire indicator panel or where sub-indicator panel(s)communicate with a main fire indicator panel.
Factory connections - are connections made during manufacture and should not require any fieldalterations.
Field connections - are connections made to FIP or ancillary equipment at the project duringinstallation.
Fire alarm system - an arrangement of components and apparatus for giving an audible, visible, orother perceptible alarm of fire, and which may also initiate other action.
Fire detection system - an arrangement of detectors and control and indicating equipment employed forautomatically detecting fire and initiating other action as arranged.
Fire indicator panel (FIP) - a panel on which is mounted an indicator or indicators together withassociated equipment for the fire alarm or sprinkler system.
Fire resisting - an element of construction, component or structure which, by requirement of theRegulatory Authority, has a specified fire resistance.
