Section 2:System Overview

2.1Introduction
The N-6000 is a new generation intelligent fire alarm control panel recently
released by Notifier. This panel satisfies all related requirements defined in
GB4717-2005.
This control panel combines both alarm and CBE control functions. The N-6000
can also be programmed off-line when using a PC with Notifier Verifire Tools
(NVT).
The N-6000 fire alarm control panel has many intelligent characteristics; these
include but are not limited to drift compensation, sensitivity adjustment and
self-optimizing alarm.
The N-6000 control panel with CBE (control by event) control can manage both
alarm paging and gas extinguishing systems. The N-6000 connected with a CRT
display terminal forms a comprehensive and reliable fire alarm control system,
perfect for medium to large-scale facilities.
2.2Characteristics of the Product

y Large LCD Display
This system uses a large 320x240 pixel LCD display. To ensure accurate and
timely detection the LCD displays a full Chinese interface (up to 320 Chinese
characters), equipment type, location, alarm level, loop number and address
number upon alarming.
y User Friendly Interface
The Menu contains all programming options. Software supports both English and
Chinese input, full suggest and user friendly dialogue prompts. A user can
conveniently toggle between the alarm information and CBE information screens.
y Convenient Programming Options
Multilevel pre-alarm and alarm sensitivity enable localizing detector sensitivity for
different applications. Have the function of trouble disenable also can choose to
disenable any addressing unit in loop bus. Auto programming allows the N-6000
to learn what devices are physically connected and automatically load them in
the program with default values for all parameters. The functions mentioned above
significantly ease system operation while reducing daily maintenance.
y Real-time Analogue Display Curve
Real-time threshold value variation monitoring is possible for both intelligent
analogue detectors and/or compound detectors.
y Powerful CBE Equations
y Accurate and Detailed Event Records

The system automatically and categorically stores and records the latest fire alarm,
trouble or system event. It can display and store up to 8000 historical events.
y Automatic Compensation Functions
Drift compensation allows the detector to retain its original ability to detect actual
smoke, and resist false alarms, even as dirt or dust accumulates. It reduces
maintenance requirements by allowing the system to automatically perform
periodic sensitivity measurements. Smoothing filters are also provided by software
to remove transient noise signals, usually caused by electrical interference.
y Printing Settings
The system can be networked and prompted to print the latest alarm event using a
Chinese printer.
y Equipped With 8 Bus Control Modules.
Built-in Degraded Mode option. In the event of a CPU failure, the system is
capable of general alarm if a fire condition is present.

3.6Equipment Debugging
3.6.1Connection Inspection
y Visually inspect the control panel condition
y Visually inspect the external connection ports
y Open the control panel and visually inspect all connections. Confirm connections
are correct, that there are no loose connections, no short circuits, unplugged or
disconnected connectors as well as confirm the power supply does not have
any short circuit trouble.
y Visually inspect the jumpers in the circuit to confirm there are no duplicate
numbers.
3.6.2Power-on Inspection
After you have finished the visual inspection, power-on the battery power supply.
With the battery started a buzzer should be heard and the LCD should temporarily
function normally. Once the control panel enters normal operation status, a buzzer
and LED horn/strobe will indicate a troubled status because main power is not
connected. Power-down and disconnect the battery power supply then connect and
power on the main power supply. Once the control panel enters normal operation
status, a buzzer and LED horn/strobe will indicate a troubled status because the
battery power supply is not connected. At this time, connect the battery power
supply. Soon after the control panel will return to normal operating status.
During normal operation, if both the main and battery power supplies are
connected the power supply status lamp (on the main panel of the control panel)
will maintain normal illumination.
When the main power supply fails because of loss of power, poor power
connection, an over-voltage or under-voltage of 5V and 24V, or a short circuit with
rack earth and communication trouble with the mainframe, the power supply status
lamp (on main panel of the control panel) illumination will stop. Then both a
buzzer and LED horn/strobe will indicate a troubled status while additional
information will be shown on the control panel LCD.
3.6.3External Connection
Look for any short-circuits or disconnections to and from the control panel. Once
everything has been inspected, connect the control panel.
Batch installation -- connecting 10-20 detectors or modules on the loop per time -is highly recommended. After installing the detectors or modules restart the control
panel to ensure the newly installed devices are recognized and installed correctly.
If the control panel gives a trouble signal recheck the circuit and addressable
devices are installed properly. Once the trouble signal has been solved, continue
batch installation and power testing. After all the devices have been installed, the
simulated trouble, fire alarm and CBE event functions maybe tested. Confirm that
the control panel alarms normally, properly links field equipment and accurately
prints corresponding alarm information. Continue testing and adjusting until panel
maintains normal operating status.
3.6.4Important Points
y Avoid touching the circuit board IC chip during installation
y Pay attention to polarity during connection and installation
y Before starting the system, check for short circuits, disconnection or reverse
polarity
y Connectors among leads shall be wielded and inter-line insulation shall be
guaranteed.
3.6.5Inspection Methods for Addressable Device

Connections
To test the function of the multi-meter, connect the loop in reverse polarity (the
positive pole connects with the loop negative and the negative pole connects with
the loop positive). The multi-meter should indicate a bias value for the diode.
Then connect the multi-meter normally (positive pole connects with the loop
positive and negative pole connects with the loop negative). The multi-meter
should indicate a low resistance value that increases with the charging of the loop
capacitor. If after proper polarity connection the multi-meter still indicates a bias
value for the diode, there is one or more addressable device(s) connected in reverse
polarity.

Section 6:Miscellaneous
6.1Safety Protection Device
The N-6000 has been designed with built-in safety devices to protect both the operator and
control panel in case of improper use and/or installation. These devices include an anti-misplug
terminal which can endure extremely high voltage and current ensuring the safety of both
operators as well as the control panel. Additionally the control panel has current limiting
protection for the power supply, protection circuits for communication devices, and special
grounding terminals provided within the cabinet.
6.2Usage and Maintenance

To ensure consistent and reliable operation the following items should be observed and
followed:
The control panel must be installed and debugged by qualified technicians
The operator on duty should be familiar with the current building structure as well as
understand all possible control panel events and operations
An operator should monitor the control panel status to eliminate various trouble signals and
prevent alarm signals when possible
If a power failure exceeds 8 hours, the reserve power supply should be disconnected to avoid
damage due to over-discharge
If additional construction is performed in the protected building, shut down the control panel
to ensure fire detection capabilities are not compromised
During any status other than operation (transportation, storage, etc), the reserve power supply
should be disconnected from the control panel
6.3Common Troubles
The N-6000 has advanced features such as self-diagnosis and self-protection; however even
with the advanced technology an occasional trouble signal is unavoidable. Table 5-1 has
additional information regarding common troubles.

For additional trouble not found in Table 5-1 please contact the dealer or manufacturer directly.
6.4Transportation & Storage

After a post-factory inspection, the control panel can be stored. During storage the control
panel must be stored under normal atmospheric condition, ambient temperature and in a dry
room for a maximum of 6-months. During transportation the control panel must be kept
right-side up and protected from heavy overhead weight. The control panel can be transported
by train, truck, plane or ship.
Once the control panel has been opened, the user must use the control panel in accordance with
this manual. When used in conjunction with this manual all operation results will meet the
performance and functional requirements defined by this manual.
6.5Out-of-box Audit
When opening the control panel box for the first time the user should carry out an out-of-box
audit to ensure the control panel is complete, untouched and undamaged from transportation.
The control panel should include: a CPU, loop card, MCU, POM-8A, MPS-350W,
complement keys and connecting wires, etc.
Open the control panel door to ensure all internal connections are normal and that there are no
loose connections, short circuits and/or disconnected items. Check the power supply status to
ensure it is normal and does not have any short circuits, etc.
