4. Fully Flush Cabinet (Illustrated)
Cabinet Options
Surface Cabinets
Cabinet colour reference is: RAL 7035 textured (Light Grey)
All cabinets are manufactured from sheet steel and finished in satin texture epoxy powder stove paint.
Semi-Flush Cabinets
The semi-flush bezel locates to the rear of the bevelled edge of the back box, leaving the bevelled edge and door raised out from the wall.
It is finished in the same colour as the back box and is fitted by means of pinch bolts, thus avoiding the need to drill the cabinet.
Fully Flush Cabinet (Illustrated)
Custom-made to a high quality, full-flush bezels are available in brass, stainless
steel, or painted.
This option is achieved by fixing a flat bezel assembly to the standard back box, replacing the standard door. The panel comes with assembly already fitted but may be supplied for later on-site fitting (this may be a little time-consuming).
For details of panel dimensions
see Application Guide.

5. User Controls User’s zone identification label. LPCB approval details.
The Precept panel has clear, unambiguous LED indications.
These single-function user controls are easy to operate.
User operating instructions.

6. Motherboard
This is the motherboard for the 2/4 zone Precept panel. Motherboards for the 8 and 16 zone panels are shown in the Application Guide.
The fault LEDs, fuses and DIL switch are easily accessible for the engineer when the user display board has been removed.

7. Typical Wiring Schematic
Apollo S60 detectors are illustrated, but the Precept panel supports a wide variety of other manufacturers’ detectors - details in the Application Guide.
This is a typical Precept wiring illustration as it appears in the product documentation.
Alarm Circuit terminals
Zone terminals
Battery Terminals
2 fire and 1 fault c/o relay
Repeater panel terminals. One per zone, One each for common fault, remote inputs for silence alarms, reset and evacuate, 24V and 0 V supply

DIL switch for panel configuration

8. Panel Configuration
The engineer’s controls are located on the bottom of the control board. They are in the form of a 4-way DIL switch.
Switch 1 Pulsing or continuous alarms
Switch 2 Non-latching zone (zone 1) Does not operate fire relays (Disallowed under BS5839 pt 4)
Switch 3 One man test facility
Switch 4 Operates the processor fault counter in accordance with BS5839 pt 4 (8, 16, 32 zone panels only)
or Disable auxiliary fire relay on evacuate (4 zone panel only)
Switch 2 & 4 Shop unit specification (4 zone panel only)
