Introduction

The SIGMA XT+ range of control panels are designed in accordance with European standards EN54-2 and EN54-4
Fire Detection and Fire Alarm systems - Control and Indicating Equipment and EN12094-1 Fixed firefighting systems
- Components for gas extinguishing systems - Part 1: Requirements and test methods for electrical automatic control
and delay devices.
The control equipment is a combined fire alarm control panel and extinguishing system with up to eight detection
zones, and up to four extinguishant flooding areas.
Control panels have an integral, mains powered battery charger and power supply designed in accordance with the
requirements of EN54-4.
In addition to the requirements of EN54-2 the control panel has the following facilities:

Test condition to allow the automatic resetting of zones in alarm for testing purposes. EN54-2 Section 10: option
with requirements.
Delay of the actioning of fire alarm devices (sounders) so that an alarm may be verified before a premises is
evacuated. EN54-2 Section 7.11: (option with requirements).
Fire alarm devices to enable an audible warning to be sounded throughout premises upon the detection of a fire
condition or the operation of a manual call point. EN54-2 Section 7.8: (option with requirements).

In addition to the requirements of EN54-2, all control panels have voltage free relay contacts for fire and local fire
which operate upon a fire condition. These are to be used for local control and signalling.
The following compulsory functions required by EN12094-1 are included:
4.3.2a Reception and processing of at least one input triggering signal from an f.d.a.s and an input triggering signal
from manual triggering device(s) connected directly to the e.c.d.
4.3.2b Transmission of the extinguishing signal upon receipt of input triggering signal(s).
4.3.2c Activation of alarm devices upon receipt of input triggering signal(s).
4.2.2d Unambiguous indication of each condition.
4.2.3e Transmission of the information of the incorrect ststus of components and of the fault warning condition.
4.3.2f Transmission of the information of the released condition.

In addition to the compulsory requirements of EN12094-1 the control panel has the following facilities:
Delay of extinguishing signal of up to 60 seconds. EN12094-1 Section 4.17: (option with requirements).
Signal representing the flow of extinguishing agent to indicate the released condition. EN12094-1 Section 4.18:
(option with requirements).
Monitoring of the status of components by way of a low pressure switch input. EN12094-1 Section 4.19 : (option with
requirements).
Emergency hold device to enable the extinguishant delay time to be extended. EN12094-1 Section 4.20: (option with
requirements).
Control of flooding time to deactivate the releasing output after a set period of time. EN12094-1 Section 4.21: option
with requirements.
Manual only mode to disable the release of extinguishant via automatic detection devices. EN12094-1 Section 4.23:
(option with requirements).
Triggering of equipment outside the system by way of first and second stage contacts, extract fan output etc.
EN12094-1 Section 4.26: (option with requirements).
Activation of alarm devices with different signals to indicate pre- discharge and released warnings using different
sounds. EN12094-1 Section 4.30: (option with requirements).
Emergency Abort device to inhibit the extinguishing signal until the emergency abort device has been de-activated
and the panel has been reset. EN12094-1 Section 4.27: (option with requirements).

2.1 Safety
Suppliers of articles for use at work are required under section 6 of the Health and Safety at Work act 1974 to ensure
as reasonably as is practical that the article will be safe and without risk to health when properly used.
An article is not regarded as properly used if it is used ‘without regard to any relevant information or advice’ relating
to its use made available by the supplier.
This product should be installed, commissioned and maintained by trained service personnel in accordance with the
following:

(i) IEE regulations for electrical equipment in buildings

(ii) Codes of practice
(iii) Statutory requirements
(iv) Any instructions specifically advised by the manufacturer

According to the provisions of the Act you are therefore requested to take such steps as are necessary to ensure that
you make any appropriate information about this product available to anyone concerned with its use.
This equipment is designed to operate from 230V 50Hz mains supplies and is of class 1 construction. As such it
must be connected to a protective earthing conductor in the fixed wiring of the installation and a readily accessible
double pole disconnect device meeting the requirements of EN60950/IEC950 which disconnects live and neutral
simultaneously shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
Switch disconnect devices such as MK Sentry 63A or similar are suitable for this.
Failure to ensure that all conductive accessible parts of this equipment are adequately bonded to the
protective earth will render the equipment unsafe.
This control panel is environmental class A and is designed for indoor use only at temperatures between -50C (+/- 3)
and +400C (+/- 2) and with a maximum relative humidity of 95%.
The IP rating for the enclosure is IP30.
Operation outside of these limits may render the equipment unsafe.

Man-1112 Sigma XT+_08 Page 6 of 49

2.2 Mounting
The control panel should be mounted on a dry, flat surface, at eye height to the displays and in a level position such
that the enclosure is not distorted.
Screws or bolts of a minimum of 5mm diameter must be used to mount the enclosure in all four mounting positions.
It should be positioned in an accessible place as agreed with the end user.
Suitable fixings should be used at all fixing points such that the control panel is securely mounted and is not liable to
move once fixed.
The control panel should not be mounted in another enclosure or near sources of excessive heat.
Cables should be connected using suitable cable glands fitted to the knockouts provided. If additional cable entry
points are required, all swarf and debris caused by drilling of additional cable entries must be cleared before power is
applied to the panel.
Cables should not be installed in the bottom of the enclosure. This space must be kept free for batteries.

Although the current consumption of many detection devices would allow more than 32 to be connected to a zone,
this number should be limited to 32 to ensure that a short or open circuit on the wiring does not prevent the
indication of a fire alarm from more than 32 fire detectors and/or call points as required by European standard
EN54-2. If an active end of line LCMU (K14060) is used fit a maximum of 20 detectors per zone.

4.1 Removing the fire detection equipment chassis
Open the control panel lid using the two 801 lock keys.
Before the chassis can be removed it will be necessary to disconnect the power connector terminal block on the
left hand side of the PCB. This is fitted on pins and can be pulled towards you to remove it. Do not remove the
wires from the terminals.
The chassis is held in place by two screws. Undo the two screws and lift the chassis gently away from the box
towards you.
With the chassis removed, there is much more room inside the panel for making off and dressing cables.
When cabling work is complete, the chassis can be re-fitted with the two screws and the terminal block plugged
back onto the pins on the board.
The extinguishant module chassis should not be removed.

Man-1112 Sigma XT+_08 Page 13 of 49

5. Connecting to the circuit boards
All connections for field wiring are to rows of terminals along the top and bottom of the circuit boards.
Shielded fire alarm cable such as FP200 and metal cable glands must be used for all connections to the panel.
The shield of the cable must be bonded securely to the enclosure earth via a metal cable gland.
The resistance of any core of any cable must not exceed 25 ohms. The shield of the cable must be bonded
securely to the enclosure via the metal gland.
Wiring should enter the enclosure at the top or back of the panel using the knockouts provided and be formed
tidily to the appropriate terminals.
Route mains cables away from all other cables and segregate by 50mm.
Terminals are capable of accepting wires of up to 2.5mm2.
Wiring must not go across the front of the circuit boards. If cable entries need to be in positions other than at the
knockouts provided, wiring must be fed behind and well away from the surface of the circuit board.
The space at the bottom of the enclosure is largely occupied by the standby batteries so this must be borne in
mind when considering cable entries.

6. Detection zone wiring

The detection zones provide a nominal 20V DC to power conventional detectors and call points as listed in the
compatibility tables 2 and 3.
The wiring is monitored for open and short circuit fault conditions by removing the 6K8 0.5W end of line
monitoring resistors that are supplied fitted to the control panels’ terminals and placing them across the last
device that is wired to the zone circuit.

Detection zone circuits must be wired as a single, radial circuit with no spurs or T junctions to enable the
monitoring circuit to work correctly.

For systems that are required to comply with BS5839 Part1:2002 detector removal requirements, either detector
bases fitted with a Schottky diode should be used and the end of line resistor replaced with an LCMU active end of
line monitoring device or zener clamping bases such as Hochiki PA6 or Apollo Savwire used.

7. Sounder circuit wiring (alarm devices as required by EN12094-1)

All sounders must be of the polarised type. If non-polarised sounders are used the control panel will permanently
show a fault condition. See table 4 for a list of compatible sounder types.
Sounder circuits are monitored for open and short circuit faults by placing a 10K 0.25W end of line monitoring
resistor across the last device on the circuit.

Sounder circuits must be wired as a single, radial circuit with no spurs or T junctions to enable the monitoring
circuit to work correctly.

Man-1112 Sigma XT+_08 Page 15 of 49

8. Using intrinsically safe barriers
SIGMA XT+ control panels support the use of I.S. barriers for connecting to equipment in hazardous areas.
Only certified detectors, call points and sounders may be used in hazardous areas and these must be
connected to the control panel via a compatible I.S. barrier as listed in table 5.

Connection of the I.S. barrier changes the characteristics of the detection circuit so zones that have I.S. barriers
connected must be adjusted to work with them.
Programmable options C61 to C68 on the detection section allow each zone to operate with I.S. barriers.

The amount of detectors and call points that can be connected to a zone is limited by the I.S. approval system
diagram which should be supplied by the detector manufacturer. The power rating of the end of line resistor will
be dependent upon the Zone classification rating (Gas class) this will be specified on the system diagram.

9. Connection to monitored inputs
Monitored inputs (Mode select, manual release, Hold, Abort, Released pressure switch and Low pressure switch)
have the same characteristics as detection zone inputs and require a 6K8 0.5W end of line monitoring resistor and
a nominal, 470 ohm 1 W trigger resistor.

Example of wiring to a monitored input

10. Connection to extinguishant output

The extinguishant output is capable of supplying up to 1 Amp for the maximum duration to a solenoid or 3 Amps
for 20 milliseconds to an igniting actuator or Metron.

The wiring for solenoids and igniting actuators is different as shown below. Igniting actuators of different types or
from different manufacturers should not be mixed on the same circuit.

10.1 Solenoid wiring

Solenoids must have a resistance of greater than 28 ohms to ensure that the maximum current rating of the
extinguishant output is not exceeded.
Solenoids should be fitted with a suppression diode to prevent EMF generated by the solenoid when it de-
energises from upsetting the operation of the control panel.
Only polarised solenoids (i.e. solenoids fitted with an internal polarising diode) should be used.

Example of wiring a solenoid

Man-1112 Sigma XT+_08 Page 17 of 49

10.2 Igniting actuator wiring
A maximum of four igniting actuators can be wired in series. If only one or two actuators are fitted, a 2R2, 2.5
Watt resistor must be wired in series with them to provide the correct monitoring resistance. The end of line diode
can be discarded when igniting actuators are used.

To guarantee firing under all conditions, the total resistance of actuators, monitoring resistor and cable should not
exceed 7 ohms.

10.3 Setting up extinguishant monitoring circuit

The extinguishing output circuit is factory set to monitor the end of line diode that is fitted to the terminals and
will normally show a value of around 270.
If the parameters of the extinguishant output change e.g. by connecting a solenoid in parallel with the monitoring
diode or removing the diode and fitting igniting actuators, then the extinguishing output monitoring level will need
to be “learnt”. See section 15.2 for details. To do this, operate the enable controls keyswitch to put the system
into access level 2.

The LCD will show:

Access level 2 ►
ENTER for Menu
Operate the WRITE ENABLE switch by gently sliding it to the left. The LCD will show:

AL3 Updates = xx
ENTER for Menu

Press the ENTER button and then the UP button repeatedly until the LCD displays:

Exting. O/P 1
Level = XXX

The XXX displayed here is the previous (factory) level to which the monitoring level had been set.

Press the ENTER button. The LCD will now show:

Exting. O/P 1
Level = XXX ?
The XXX shown here is the current monitoring level detected on the extinguishing output. Press the ENTER button
to learn the new monitoring level.
Press the UP button to set the monitoring level for output 2 in the same way if it is being used, otherwise switch
the write enable slide switch to the right (off) position and check that an open or short circuit fault on the
extinguishing output(s) is detected and shown on the control panel.

Man-1112 Sigma XT+_08 Page 18 of 49

11. Connection to remote control terminals
Some functions of the control panel can be controlled externally from the panel if required. The external
equipment operating inputs must be restricted by an access level 2 control as defined in EN54-2 The
functions are abbreviated at the terminals block on the detection zone PCB in the top part of the control panel as
follows:

a) Remote 0 V supply – ROV

b) Silence Alarm – SIL (Silences sounder outputs S1 &S2)
c) Sound Alarm – AL (Operates sounder outputs S1 & S2)
d) Fault – FLT (Generates a general fault and operates the fault relay)
e) Reset – RST (Resets the system back to normal condition)

To activate these inputs, the remote 0 Volt (R0V) supply must be connected to the input via a normally open
switch or contact and via a resistance of no greater than 100 ohms.
All of the remote control inputs are non-latching.

12. Aux 24V DC supply outputs (extinguishant modules only)

The terminals for the Aux 24V supply are labelled Aux 24V + and ROV. The ROV terminal is the negative terminal.
It is possible to have the Aux24V supply outputs removed for a few seconds when the panel is reset.
Aux 24V not removed upon reset is set as default on the extinguishing modules. To change this, switch the system
to access level 2 by operating the enable control keyswitch and then operate the extinguishing module WRITE
ENABLE switch by gently sliding it to the left.
The LCD will show:

AL3 Updates = xx
ENTER for Menu
Press the ENTER button and then the UP button repeatedly until the LCD displays:

R0V Not Removed

On System Reset

Press the ENTER button. The LCD will now show:

R0V Not Removed

On System Reset?

Press the ENTER button. The LCD will now show:

R0V Removed
On System Reset

Press the exit button.

The Aux 24V supply outputs are fitted with an electronic, self resetting fuse rated at 0.5 Amps to protect the
control panel’s 24V supply in the event of a wiring fault. The Aux 24V outputs should not be loaded with any more
than 100milliamps per module.
Any standing load on the Aux 24V supply outputs must be taken into account when calculating battery standby
times as standby time will be significantly affected by even modest standing loads on these outputs. It is
recommended that the Aux24V outputs are not used to power standing loads.
Where the Aux 24V supply outputs are used to power electromechanical devices such as relays or door retainers it
is imperative that a suppression diode is fitted across the coil of the device to prevent the generation of high
voltage transients back to the control panel power supply.

Man-1112 Sigma XT+_08 Page 19 of 49

13. Connection to relay contacts
Volt free changeover relay contacts are provided for local control and signalling if required. These contacts are
rated for switching signalling circuits only and the maximum ratings listed in table 1 should not be exceeded under
any circumstances.
Typically, the Aux 24V outputs of the control panel are switched through these relays and used to control other
systems.

13.1 Common Fault relay (on detection part of control panel)

The common fault relay is normally energised and will de-energise upon any fault condition on the detection part
or the extinguishing part of the control panel including total loss of power.
The fault relay can be disabled by setting configuration option 22 at access level 3 as shown in the Sigma CP
configuration options table.

13.2 Fault relay (on extinguishing part of control panel)

These fault relays are normally energised and will de-energise upon any fault condition on the extinguishing
module or total loss of power. These relays provide individual “flooding zone fault” outputs

13.2 Local fire relay (on detection part of control panel)

The local fire relay will energise upon activation of a fire condition on any of the zones or pressing of the sound
alarm button on the front panel. The relay will remain activated until the alarm is silenced or the panel is reset.
This relay will not operate upon activation of the remote AL input or when a fire condition is triggered on a zone
that is in test mode. This makes the Local fire relay suitable for inter panel signalling without the panels latching
each other.
Note. The local alarm relay can be re-configured using programmable option C2A to operate upon gas released if
required.

13.3 Fire relay (on detection part of control panel)

The fire relay will energise upon activation of a fire condition on any of the zones or pressing of the sound alarm
button on the front panel. The relay will remain activated until the alarm is silenced or the panel is reset. This
relay will not operate upon activation of the remote AL input and the sound alarm button. The fire relay can be
disabled by setting configuration option 26 at access level 3 as shown in the Sigma CP configuration options table.

13.4 1st stage alarm relay (on extinguishing modules)

First stage alarm relays will operate upon activation of a zone that has been configured to contribute to the
extinguishant release and will de-activate only when the panel has been reset.
This relay will also operate upon activation of the panel mounted or a remote manual release switch. The stage 1
relay output can be disabled at access level 2 via the menus on the Sigma XT+ module.

13.5 2nd stage alarm relay (on extinguishing modules)

Second stage alarm relays will operate when the panel enters the activated condition (i.e. the release countdown
timer has started) and will de-activate only when the panel has been reset from the released condition.
The stage 2 relay output can be disabled at access level 2 via the menus on the Sigma XT+ module.

13.6 Released relay (on extinguishing modules)

The released relay on the extinguishing module will operate when the module enters the released condition either
by being activated automatically via detection zones or by being activated by a manual release input. The released
relay will also operate if the panel enters the released condition via the released pressure switch input.
The Released output can be disabled at access level 2 via the menus on the Sigma XT+ module.

13.7 Aborted relay (on extinguishing modules)

Aborted relays will operate when the panel is in the aborted condition via an abort switch input.

13.8 Extract relay (on extinguishing modules)

The extract relay will operate when selected at access level 2. This provides a means to vent a room of
extinguishant gases but prevents the gases from being vented during a discharge.

To switch on the extract relay, operate the enable keyswitch and then press ENTER on the module on which the
required Extract relay is fitted.
The LCD will show:

DISABLE
EXTING RELEASE ? Press the down button until the display shows:

TURN ON
EXTRACT OUTPUT ? Press ENTER to turn on the Extract output.

The display will show:

14. Connection and configuration of status units and ancillary boards
The control panel should not be powered during the connection of status units or ancillary boards.
Status units and ancillary boards require a four-wire connection from the associated extinguishing module, which
drops into each unit and connects to the corresponding data and power, in and out terminals. Two of the cables
carry power to the units (24V) and the other two carry data. A four core cable suitable for carrying RS485 data
should be used. If this is a twisted pair cable then one twisted pair should be used for the data connections and
the second pair used for the power connections.
When fitting status or ancillary boards, link LK2 must be removed from the rear of the extinguishant module. The
last status unit connected to the serial bus will have a terminating link fitted as described in manuals MAN-1089
and MAN-1095.

REAR VIEW OF EXTINGUISHING MODULE

Each status unit and ancillary board has a 3-bit DIL switch and must be allocated a unique address between 1 and
7. Maximum of 3 status units and/or ancillary boards per module. More units should use external 24V power
supply.
The system is able to distinguish between status units and ancillary boards so it is possible to have a status unit
set to address 1 and an ancillary board set to address 1 if desired.

ADDRESS SWITCH POSITIONS

The address switch is located on the bottom left hand corner of the status unit or ancillary board PCB. Note: The
address is only read when the boards are first powered or if the processor reset switch on the ancillary board or
status unit is pressed, so address switches should not be altered on a system that has power applied.

It is important that each individual status unit and ancillary board is allocated a unique address in the range 1 to
7. Units of the same type with the same address will cause intermittent faults to be displayed.
NOTE: 10 lamp status units (models K911113M8, K911113F8 and W911113W8) are not compatible with Sigma
XT+ extinguishant modules.

Man-1112 Sigma XT+_08 Page 21 of 49

14.1 Adding new status units/ancillary boards
When the system is powered, it will search for connected status units and/or ancillary boards connected to
extinguishant modules.
If status units or ancillary boards are fitted and detected by the control panel, the LCD will display:

X FAULTS ► X = the number of faults

ENTER TO VIEW

Press ENTER on the module to which the status units or ancillary boards are connected with the ENABLE control
switch keyswitch off and use the UP button on the module to view the faults. If status units and/or ancillary boards
are detected the LCD will display:

STATUS UNIT X X = the address of the status unit found

FAULT
Or

output unit x X = the address of the ancillary board found

fault
To accept the status units and/or ancillary boards found, turn the ENABLE controls keyswitch on and slide the
WRITE ENABLE switch on the module to which the status units or ancillary boards are connected gently to the left.

The LCD will then display:

STATUS UNIT X X = the address of the status unit found

ENTER TO ACCEPT
Or

output unit X X = the address of the ancillary board unit found

ENTER TO ACCEPT
When the ENTER button is pressed on the module to which the status units or ancillary boards are connected, the
selected status unit or ancillary board will be added to the system and the next unit to be added will be displayed.
Press the ENTER button on the extinguishing module until all of the units have been accepted then gently slide the
WRITE ENABLE switch on the module to the right.

All of the status units and ancillary boards found by the extinguishant module have now been added and
disconnection of any of them will be displayed as a fault on the module and on the detection part of the system. If
any status units are disconnected, a HOLD activated indication will also be displayed at the extinguishing module
and all ancillary boards or status units that remain connected. With the ENABLE controls keyswitch off, the LCD
will display:

REMOTE BUS
FAULT
When additional status units or ancillary boards are added to the system, these will be shown on the LCD of the
extinguishing module when the system is powered up or the processor reset switch is pressed on the module to
which the status unit or ancillary board is connected and can be added to the system by following the procedure
above.

14.2 Removing status units or ancillary boards

If a status units or ancillary board needs to be removed from the system, disconnect the status unit or ancillary
board taking care not to short power supply or data cables. The extinguishing module will display:

15. Configuring the panel

15.1 Detection part

Sigma XT+ control panels consist of 2 parts. The detection part has 2, 4 or 8 detection zones and has a number of
configuration options which can be set at the time of commissioning to suit the requirements of the installation.
These options are normally set once and will rarely need to change. The configuration options are only available at
access level 3 which is accessed by operating the Write enable switch to the left as shown below. When the panel
is at access level 3, the buzzer will “pip” three times every few seconds as an indication that it is at this access
level.

Access level 3 (Write enable) enable switch location – slide gently to the right to enable

Configuration options are simple to enter using the codes the table below. When the control panel is at access
level 3, the sub-text of the Mode and Select buttons is used to enter a number using tens (+10) and units (+1).
When the required code number is displayed, pressing the enter button will cause the dot on the units seven
segment display to flash. This indicates that a configuration option has been set.
To review which configuration options have been set previously, simply scroll through numbers 1 to 99, A1 to A8,
C1 to C8 and E1 to E8 and those with a flashing dot indicate which options have been set.

d) The display will indicate Activated and show the time remaining until release in seconds.
e) The extinguishant output will operate after the configured delay time and for the configured duration.
f) The display will show Activated Discharging for the duration of the release time.

When detection zones have activated and the activated condition is reached (i.e. the Activated indicator is lit) it
shall not be possible to reset the extinguishant section of the panel until the Reset Inhibit timer has elapsed.

16.6 Silence/sound alarms

The Silence/Sound alarm button can only be operated at access level 2. (Enable Control keyswitch operated).
To silence the sounders, insert the Enable Control key, turn to the right and press the Silence/Sound alarm button.
When the sounders have been silenced, the Zone Fire LEDs will change from flashing to a steady state.
Pressing the Silence/Sound alarm whilst the control panel is in this silenced condition will cause the sounders to
operate again.
The sounders can be toggled on and off with the Silence/Sound alarm button as required.

16.7 Reset
To reset the panel, insert the Enable key, turn to the right then press the Reset button.
The extinguishant section will reset only after the Reset Inhibit timer has expired once the activated condition has
been established.

16.8 Detection Zone fault

Removal of a detector from its base or a fault on any of the zone wiring will cause the Fault LED and Zone Fault
LEDs to flash, indicating the zone in which the fault has occurred.

Man-1112 Sigma XT+_08 Page 37 of 49

16.9 Sounder fault
A fault on the wiring to the detection section sounder circuits will cause the Fault LED to light and the Sounder
Fault LED to flash. A fault on the sounder circuits of extinguishant modules (alarm devices as required by
EN12094-1) will light the Fault LED on the detection section and on the extinguishant module. The extinguishant
module will display:

stage 1 alarms
fault
or

stage 2 alarms
fault

16.10 Power fault

Failure of the mains power or disconnection of the standby battery will cause the Fault and Power Fault LEDs to
light on the detection section indicating an abnormality in the power supply to the control panel. There will be no
indication of this condition on the extinguishant modules.

16.11 System fault – Detection section

The System Fault and general fault LEDs will light if the configuration memory has not been set or has become
corrupted.

16.12 System fault – Extinguishant modules

The System Fault and general fault LEDs will light if the configuration memory has not been set or has become
corrupted.

16.13 General fault – Detection section

The General fault LED will be illuminate under any fault condition.
This LED will also light if the write enable switch has been left in the access level 3 position and the Enable
Controls keyswitch is turned off.

16.14 Lamp test

All LED indicators on the panel can be tested at any time by pressing the Lamp Test button on the Detection part.
The Enable Control keyswitch does not need to be operated test the indicators.
Indicators on individual extinguishant modules cam be lamp tested by holding down the EXIT button for more than
2 seconds.

16.15 Hold condition

Activation of the Hold input or a fault on the monitored wiring of the Hold circuit on a module or at a remotely
mounted status unit will cause the Hold Activated indicator to light on the module and on any status units or
ancillary boards connected to it.

If the extinguishant module is in the Activated condition and the pre-release timer is running then the
extinguishant release sequence will be halted and the pulsing, 2nd stage sounders shall change to 1 second on, 2
seconds off.
Release of the Hold input will re-start the pre-release timer from maximum.

16.16 Released condition

The released pressure switch input will be connected to a pressure switch mounted on the extinguishant cylinder
which operates when the extinguishant has been released. This will activate the released indicator on the control
panel. If the extinguishant has been released by mechanical means i.e. the control panel is not in the activated
condition, operation of the released pressure switch input will establish the Released condition. (See also 15.2.8)

16.17 Low pressure switch

The low pressure switch input will be connected to a pressure switch on the extinguishant cylinder which will
operate if the pressure in the cylinder falls below a set point. This will happen after the extinguishant has been
released but may happen before release through a leak. The fault LED on the module and on the detection part
will light and the buzzer will sound when this input is operated.

16.18 Manual only mode

The mode of the system can be toggled between Manual Only and Automatic & Manual by operating the Mode
select keyswitches on the modules.
When a module is in Manual Only mode, the extinguishant cannot be released by the operation of automatic
detectors.
The mode can also be changed to manual by the external mode select input or a keyswitch on a status unit. Any
mode select input that is switched to Manual only mode will override any keyswitches switched to Automatic and
Manual mode. All inputs must be switched to Manual and Automatic mode for a module to be in Automatic and
Manual mode.

16.19 Manual Release

Extinguishant modules may be activated by Manual release inputs via the manual release control on the front of
each module, a remotely mounted Manual release control connected the monitored manual release inputs or by a
manual release control mounted on a status unit.
Activation of any of these Manual release controls will immediately activate the extinguishant module and begin
the pre-release timer if the module is configured to have a time delay for Manual release inputs.
Man-1112 Sigma XT+_08 Page 38 of 49
16.19 Abort input
Each module has the facility for connection of an Abort control. Operation of the Abort input or a fault on the
monitored wiring of the Abort circuit during the pre-release delay time or before activation will light the Abort
indicator on the module and the extinguishant release timer will be canceled i.e. the extinguishant will not be
released. The module can be immediately reset from this condition.

17. Internal Controls

17.1 Detection part

17.1.1 Watchdog reset

If for any reason the microprocessor in the detection part of the control panel fails to carry out its operation
correctly it will attempt to restart. This process is called a “watchdog” and the control panel must record and
indicate these events.
If a watchdog event occurs, the detection part panel will show the Fault and System Fault LEDs on the front panel,
the CPU fault LED inside the panel will light and the buzzer will sound. This fault can only be cleared by pressing
the Watchdog Reset button on the PCB inside the control panel. The control panel buzzer will continue to sound
until the watchdog activation is reset.

17.1.2 Processor reset

Once started, the microprocessor controlling the detection part of the panel should continue to run continuously
without interruption. If the microprocessor fails to run correctly it can be reset by pressing the Processor Reset
button on the PCB inside the control panel.
This should not normally be necessary but should be done as a matter of course if the system is behaving
abnormally. The system should resume normal operation within a couple of seconds of pressing the processor
reset button. It will be necessary to pres the Watchdog Reset button a few seconds after pressing the Processor
Reset button to clear the Watchdog indication and buzzer.

17.1.3 Write enable switch

It is necessary to protect the configuration memory of the panel while it is running normally. To do this a memory
Write Enable switch is provided. The memory Write Enable switch must be switched on before any changes can be
made to the configuration. The Write Enable switch is quite fragile and should be operated with care.

17.2 Extinguishant modules

17.2.1 Watchdog reset

If the microprocessor on an extinguishant module fails to carry out its operation correctly it will attempt to restart.
If a watchdog event occurs, the Extinguishant module will show Fault and System Fault LEDs on the front panel,
the detection part of the panel will show a fault and the buzzer will sound and the display on the Extinguishant
module will show CPU fault
This fault can only be cleared by pressing the Watchdog Reset button on the Extinguishant module. The control
panel buzzer will continue to sound until the watchdog activation is reset.

17.2.2 Processor reset

If the microprocessor on an Extinguishant module fails to run correctly it can be reset by pressing the Processor
Reset button on the PCB inside the control panel.
This should not normally be necessary but should be done as a matter of course if the system is behaving
abnormally. The system should resume normal operation within a couple of seconds of pressing the processor
reset button.

17.2.3 Terminate extinguishant

Once the extinguishant outputs have been operated they can not be switched off until after the reset inhibit timer
has elapsed. For test purposes a terminate extinguishant button is provided which will terminate operation of the
extinguishant outputs and allow the system to be reset.

Man-1112 Sigma XT+_08 Page 39 of 49

17.2.4 Write enable switch
It is necessary to protect the configuration memory of extinguishant modules while the system is running
normally. To do this a memory Write Enable switch is provided on each module. The memory Write Enable switch
must be switched on before any changes can be made to the configuration. The Write Enable switch is quite fragile
and should be operated with care.

17.2.5 Address switch

Extinguishant modules are connected to the serial bus of the Sigma CP detection part of the control panel and
each module must be allocated an address between 1 and 7 using the binary coded DIP switch.

18. Internal indications

18.1 Detection part
To assist in identifying fault conditions which are not detailed on the front of the control panel, a number of
internal indicators are visible with the control panel door open as follows:

18.1.1 Mains fail

Indicates that the 230V AC supply is not present and the system is running on standby batteries.
If there is not a power cut, check the panels mains fuse.

18.1.2 Batt fail

Indicates that the standby battery has become disconnected or that the charging circuit of the control panel has
failed. Check that both batteries are connected and linked together. Test battery. Disconnect battery and ensure
that 28 Volts can be measured on battery charger leads.

18.1.3 CPU fault

Indicates that the processor has failed to correctly execute code and has been re-started by the system watchdog.
The watchdog reset switch must be pressed to clear the CPU fault condition.
Press watchdog reset. If system does not return to normal then the panel is probably damaged and needs the
Man-1112 Sigma XT+_08 Page 40 of 49
circuit board replacing.

18.1.4 Aux 24V fault

The Aux 24V and R0V terminals provide a 100 milliamp, 24V DC power supply for power fire alarm ancillary
equipment. This LED indicates that fuse protecting the R0V output has operated and the rating of this output has
been exceeded. The fuse is a self resetting type and the supply will resume when the fault condition is removed.

18.1.5 Batt low

Illuminates when the system is running on batteries and the battery voltage is between 21.5 V and 20.5 V (the
minimum battery voltage).

18.1.6 Comms fault

Indicates that communication has been lost with an Extinguishant module, Repeater panel or Ancillary board.
Check for comms fault at all Extinguishant modules, Repeaters and Ancillary boards to identify the source of the
problem.

18.1.7 Earth fault

Indicates that part of the system wiring is connected to earth. Remove all system wiring and re-connect cables
one at a time until the earth fault returns. This will indicate which cable the earth fault is present on.

18.1.8 Sys fuse fault

Indicates that the total power rating of the power supply has been exceeded and that the system fuse has come
into operation. Remove and review all loads then re-connect one at a time.

18.1.9 S1 fault
Indicates a short or open circuit on sounder outputs. Remove wiring and refit end of line resistors. Check sounder
circuit wiring.

18.1.10 S2 fault
Indicates a short or open circuit on sounder outputs. Remove wiring and refit end of line resistors. Check sounder
circuit wiring.

18.2 Extinguishant modules

18.2.1 Watchdog
Indicates that the processor has failed to correctly execute code and has been re-started by the watchdog circuit.
The watchdog reset switch must be pressed to clear the Watchdog fault condition.
Press the Watchdog reset button. If system does not return to normal then the module is probably damaged and
needs the circuit board replacing.

18.2.2 System fuse

Indicates that the modules main fuse has been overloaded and the module is shut down. Remove and review all
loads then re-connect one at a time.

18.2.3 Man. Release

Indicates that either the front panel mounted or a remotely connected Manual release control has been operated.
This indication can only be cleared by power cycling the module or pressing the processor reset switch.

19. Power supply

The control panel requires a 230V (+10%/-15%), 50/60Hz, AC mains power supply which connects to the fused
terminal block labelled “230V”.
Panels with a 3A power supply have a 20mm, F1.6A L250V mains fuse.
Panels with a 4A power supply have a 20mm T2A L250V mains fuse.
These fuses should only be replaced with fuses of the same or similar types.

The table below shows the power supply rating and recommended battery capacity for each model in the Sigma
XT+ range.

Model Description Power supply rating Batteries recommended

for 24 hour standby
K21021M3 Two zone single area 3A 7Ah
K21041M3 Four zone single area 3A 7Ah
K21042M3 Four zone two area 3A 7Ah
K21081M3 Eight zone single area 3A 7Ah
K21082M3 Eight zone two area 3A 7Ah
K21083M3 Eight zone three area 4A 12Ah
K21084M3 Eight zone four area 4A 12Ah

The maximum loading on the power supply must be carefully considered when connecting externally powered
equipment such as sounders and solenoids.

Exceeding the maximum power supply rating may cause a fuse or other protective device to operate
and render the equipment inoperative until the fuse is replaced or protective devices are reset.

TOTAL LOAD (must be less than 4A)

The output voltage of the power supply is between 18 and 30V depending on mains and battery condition and the
total current rating is either 3A or 4A depending on the model (see tables above).
The incoming mains cable should be routed well away from other lower voltage wiring by a distance of at least
50mm.
Mains wiring should include an earth conductor, which is securely bonded to the building earth and should enter
the enclosure as close as possible to the mains terminal block. Mains wires should be kept very short inside the
enclosure and secured together close to the mains terminal block with a cable tie.
The maximum capacity batteries that should be fitted are 7Ah for KXXXXM3 models and 17Ah for KXXXXM4
models.
The maximum current drawn from the batteries when the main power source is disconnected is 3 Amps for
KXXXXM3 models and 4 Amps for KXXXXM4 models.

TEMPERATURE
SENSOR WIRE

K21083M4 and K21084M4 models have a temperature compensation

sensor held in place on the power supply chassis with adhesive tape. The
tip of the sensor must be fitted to one of the batteries with the tape
TEMPERATURE
supplied for correct temperature compensation.
SENSOR

TAPE

BATTERY

Battery leads are supplied wired to the power supply along with a link to connect the two batteries together.
It is most important that the polarity of the batteries is carefully observed when connecting. Wrongly
connected batteries could cause damage to the control panel.

Man-1112 Sigma XT+_08 Page 43 of 49

21. Maintenance
SIGMA XT+ control panels do not require any specific maintenance but should the control panel become dirty it
can be wiped over with a barely damp cloth. Detergents or solvents should not be used to clean the panel and
care must be taken that water does not enter the enclosure.

The control panel contains sealed lead acid batteries to provide standby power in the event of mains failure.
These batteries have a life expectancy of around 4 years. It is recommended that these batteries be tested in
accordance with the battery manufacturer’s recommendations annually to determine their suitability for continued
standby applications.

Testing of the extinguishant system should only be carried out by trained personnel and must be done with
appropriate isolation measures in place to ensure that accidental discharge of the extinguishant agent is avoided.

Should the control panel become faulty the complete electronic assemblies and front plates can be replaced.

To do this, any configured options should be noted then both mains and battery power should be removed before
the work is started.

The field wiring should be carefully labelled and removed from the terminals. The power terminal block can be
unplugged from the PCB by pulling it towards you.

The faulty PCB plate assembly can now be taken out of the panel by removing the 2 screws.
Fitting the new PCB is the reverse of the procedure for removing the board.

Man-1112 Sigma XT+_08 Page 44 of 49

23. CE Mark
All control panels have a label affixed to the inside of the lid as shown below.
This label should not be removed under any circumstances.

Man-1112 Sigma XT+_08 Page 45 of 49

24. Commissioning instructions
24.1 Before applying power to the panel, any solenoids or igniting actuators must be physically isolated from the
system by disconnecting both wires to it. This will prevent any accidental release of extinguishant.

24.2 When power is applied, if all connections are correct, only the green Power On and either the Automatic and
Manual or Manual Only indicators should be lit.
If any fault indicators are lit the wiring to the appropriate input or output should be checked an all faults
cleared before proceeding.

24.3 Once the panel is fault free, it can be configured with the desired options as
described in section 15 .

24.4 Once the panel has been configured the system should be thoroughly tested to ensure that the control
panels responds as expected and required.

24.5 After satisfactory testing, any final connections should be made (such as to the
extinguishant release actuator).

24.6 A record of the configuration options that have been set should be recorded in the tables below and this
manual provided as part of the documentation recommended by BS5839:Part 1:2002 section 40.2 b).
