12.1 GENERAL
New Zealand mode operation may be enabled on an NDU but not on an F3200 fire panel.
An NDU with New Zealand mode enabled may be connected to a Panel-link network of
panels which also have “New Zealand” mode enabled. The NDU may be used with or
without a MAF board, and optionally with a NZ Display Extender board. The NDU may not
have any RZDU or RDU connected to it.
If a MAF board is used, the NDU may be used as the main brigade connection point of the
network. The MAF board has relays for signalling alarm (normally energised), fault (normally
de-energised) and standby (normally energised and normally wire-ORed with fault). The
MAF board also provides a supervised BELL relay, two supervised ancillary relays, and an
“isolate” relay; all of which can be controlled by output logic if desired.
12.2 NZ DISPLAY EXTENDER BOARD
The New Zealand extender board, if fitted, is added to the end of the 16 zone LED display
board chain (if any), and provides the common Normal, Defect, and Fire LEDs, as well as
other New Zealand specific inputs and outputs.
The last 16 zone LED display board must have link Lk1 not fitted. If there are no 16 zone
LED display boards then the New Zealand display extender board is connected directly to
J13 on the Controller.
The New Zealand Display Extender board has the following inputs and outputs.
Inputs (all active low)
Trial Evac/Sprinkler operated (shared)
Silence alarms
External defect
Lamp test
Services restore
Brigade test/brigade isolate (shared)
Evac defect
Outputs
Fire LED
Defect LED
Normal LED
Ancil defect
Ancil fire
Lamp
Evac Defect/External Defect
The Defect and External Defect inputs may be programmed as to whether a defect is
signalled for them or not. If defect is not signalled then they can be used as general purpose
inputs accessible in output logic.
