Hi all,
I`m hoping someone can give advice how the following will work:
I have 1 x C-Tec CFP 4 zone conventional panel i need to link to the existing Surveyor Excel-K 4 zone conventional panel which is in the opposite building. There already is an FP 4-core which is fed from the existing FAP to my new panel as the old FAP was removed due to refurb (make not known). The existing FAP has 2 cores in zone 4 and the other 2 cores in what looks like the Aux. Now here comes the fun part. From research it states that you can link any 2 panels but by just linking the Aux to both panels will not work. Apparently you have to link the zone 4 from the existing panel to the Aux on my panel and then from my panel i connect the other 2 cores to my zone 4 which is then connected to the Aux in the existing panel and then both panels can communicate upon fire ( i wish ). I have done this method and my panels then show a fault on zone 4. The 4-core FP is fine on a IR and continuity test so it`s not the cable. The CFP panel does the smoke heads and the other panel does all the MCPs across 3 units.
Has anybody had this issue before? Not a straight forward system i was expecting having not been in this game for long. Any advice is much appreciated. I have attached pics of the 2 FAPs in question. Thankyou
