3.4 CABLE INSTALLATION TESTING

All cables should be installed in accordance with the applicable marine Standards of installation. On
completion of cable installation and before connection to the T1000 Marine controller or field devices,
the cables should be tested for continuity and insulation resistance to earth and between conductors using
a 500V d.c. Megger in accordance with the current marine Standards.
Cable tail lengths of approximately 300mm should be left at the controller.

3.5 MAIN POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION

IMPORTANT
The mains power supply shall be provided in accordance with the current edition of the Local Marine
Wiring Regulations. The incoming mains cable must be firmly fixed in place using a cable gland with a
clamping mechanism. Any gland holes that have had their knockouts removed and are unused must be
sealed with a gland plug to maintain electrical safety and enclosure integrity.

3.5.1 220V 1PHASE MAIN SUPPLY CONNECTION DETAIL

The connection should be via an isolating protective device (ie a switched fused outlet) rated at 5 Amps,
reserved solely for the purpose as detailed in SOLAS. A plug and socket connection is unsatisfactory.
The isolating protective device should be painted red and labelled “FIRE ALARM : DO NOT SWITCH
OFF” and should be secure from unauthorised operation.
The isolating switch:
• Must be as close to the incoming supply as is practicably possible and be readily accessible.
• Should be secure from unauthorised operation.

WARNING:

FOR A SITE WHERE THE NEUTRAL OF THE MAINS SUPPLY CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED A
TWO-POLE ISOLATING SWITCH MUST BE USED WHICH DISCONNECTS BOTH POLES
SIMULTANEOUSLY.

WHERE THE NEUTRAL OF THE MAINS CAN BE IDENTIFIED, A SINGLE POLE ISOLATING SWITCH
MAY BE USED WHICH DISCONNECTS THE LIVE CONDUCTOR.

Note:
1) If the neutral of the mains supply is fused, a warning label must be affixed to the
controller to that effect.
2) A warning label must be affixed adjacent the mains cable entry or inside the controller
giving the location of the isolating switch.

 T1000 MARINE FIRE DETECTION CONTROLLER

The 24V dc main connection should be made using (600V 105ºC) wire via an isolating protective device
conforming to applicable Standards (ie a 2-pole switch and fuse) rated at 10 Amps, reserved solely for
the purpose of supplying the T1000 Marine controller. A plug and socket is unsatisfactory. The isolating
device should be labelled ‘FIRE ALARM : DO NOT SWITCH OFF’ and should be secure from
unauthorised operation.

Note:
1) If using internal backup batteries, the main dc supply voltage must be 26 to 28V to
ensure that the controller is able to maintain the batteries in a charged condition.
2) If using an external backup supply, the main dc supply voltage should be at least 0.5V
higher than the backup supply to ensure the controller operates from the main supply.
3) The 24V dc supply must be isolated from earth or the controller will continuously report
an earth fault condition.

3.6 BACKUP SUPPLY

The controller can be configured to receive its backup supply from internal batteries or an external 24V
d.c. source.

3.6.1 BACKUP BATTERY INSTALLATION

The negative (black) battery lead from the power supply also contains a temperature sensor which must
be affixed to the top surface of the battery using the self adhesive pad supplied after the controller has
been commissioned and is ready for hand over, see diagram below.
Connect the batteries to the Backup Supply connection block on the side of the Power Supply chassis as
shown in Figs. 6 & 7 observing the correct polarity:
Red wire to the Positive (Red) connection of the battery

3.6.2 EXTERNAL BACKUP 24V DC SUPPLY

The external backup 24V dc supply connection should be made using (600V 105ºC) wire via an isolating
protective device conforming to SOLAS Standards (ie a 2-pole switch and fuse) rated at 10 Amps,
reserved solely for the purpose of supplying the T1000 Marine controller. A plug and socket is
unsatisfactory. The isolating device should be labelled ‘FIRE ALARM : DO NOT SWITCH OFF’
and should be secure from unauthorised operation.

Note:
1) If using 230V 1 phase Main Supply, ensure that the External Backup Supply does not
exceed 27.5V. This ensures that the controller operates from the Main Supply.
2) If using a 24V dc P:rimary Supply, ensure that the External Backup Supply is 0.5V less
than the Primary Supply voltage. This ensures that the controller operates from the
Primary Supply.
3) The 24V d.c. supply must be isolated from earth or the controller will continuously report
an earth fault.

3.7 FIELD WIRING

In order to satisfy the requirements for Fire Safety Systems the field wiring must conform the appropriate
SOLAS regulations.
