accenta g4 alarm fire zone advice

[Rockomuir]

Hello all,

I have recently fitted a g4 alarm which has been working fine and the customer has asked me back to fit a smoke alarm to the system. I have fitted a aico ei 141rc with an ei 129 trigger module. The trigger has two n/o contacts and i have wired them to zone 7. However when connected the panel sets the alarm off and if i dissconnect the smoke zone 7 on the keypad stays permantley lite.

How do i make zone 7 a fire alarm zone, i thought it was from the system flag menu which is what i thought i had done but i cannot seem to rectify the fault. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Don't you need n/c contacts?

That would explain why it is not working, suppliers said it would work on this system. Do you know of a reliable smoke and relay base that could work on this panel?

Also would i need to have a latching or non latching base as there is only one smoke alarm on this panel ?

Optical Smoke Detector - 12v - c/w Relay Base

Hi where is a good base to start to learn about security and fire systems, I get the principals of electronics and have made a few control panels for various applications before but I need that essential knowledge of what works what doesnt

The opening post is old yes, but all the op had to do was use the 128 base instead of the 129 from Aico.

Chris, get a cheap alarm panel of flee bay and have a play first.
As for fire alarms, manufacturers do training and FIA do courses for the regs side of things.
It helps a lot if you work for a company that install/maintain security and fire systems.

If the op uses a Ei428 the is nothing stopping him using Aico on the Accenta.....I use them to link Aicos in domestic flats, to the main fire alarm panels to provide a zoned link.
