Installation manual
The earth conductor must be connected to earth on the electrical panel which supplies the control panel.
The grounding bar [B], diverts undesirable current to ground in order to protect the control panel and its
peripherals. Therefore, to ensure proper functioning, make certain that the ground bar is properly connected to:
• the wire with eyelet terminal, by means of the appropriate hole [C]; this wire must be connected to the
IFM24160 module earth terminal (
• the internal modules, by means of the appropriate screws [E]
• the front plate, by means of the wire [F] coming from the soldered end to which the ground wire of the
FPMCPU [G] must be connected to.
• the cable shields, by means of cable-gland screws [H].

Battery connection
Refer to Figure 5 - Battery, page 2.
The batteries must be connected to the IFM24160 module by means of the supplied wire. The wire comprises the
connectors for the battery terminals and thermal probe (NTC) for temperature-based charge voltage compensation.
1.
Insert the batteries into the battery compartment inside the cabinet.
2.
Using the battery wire [A], connect the batteries together.
3.
Connect the wire with the eyelet terminals to the terminals of the batteries [B].
Attention:
Ensure that the polarity is correct.
Red - positive
Black - negative
4.
Connect the battery wire connector to the connector on the power supply module [C].
Connection of the batteries before the mains voltage is present will not activate the system. Once the mains
voltage is supplied, the power-supply module will connect the batteries automatically and initialize the circuits
which manage them.
5.
The thermal probe must be positioned on the side of the battery and held in place by a strip of tape [D].

Output connection
Each output of the IFM24160 module can be configured to activate specific conditions. If left at their default
settings, the three outputs will be as follows:
• OUT 1, supervised output which activates in the event of a generic fire alarm
• OUT 2, constantly active output (27.6V constant) for powering external devices
• RELAY, voltage free contact which activates in the event of fault
Cables:
2-wire shielded cable
Proper section (minimum 0.5mm², maximum 2.5 mm²)
Compliant with local laws and regulations in force
Connection of polarized devices (sounders, etc.) to the OUT outputs
Refer to Figure 1 - OUT - a, page 27.
The polarities refer to the active status of the output, the polarities invert for stand-by status.
EN54:
If the control panel default settings are left unchanged, the OUT 1 output will result as being configured
as a type C output for the connection of audible/visual signalling devices.
The output will activate in the event of any type of fire-alarm condition.
Connection of non-polarized devices (relays, etc.) to the OUT outputs
Refer to Figure 2 - OUT - b, page 27.
The polarities refer to the active status of the output, the polarities invert for stand-by status.
Connection of a generic device to the RELAY output
Refer to Figure 3 - RELAY, page 27.
The OUT output illustrated in the diagram is used as a power source and is programmed as continuously active.
