Installation Precautions
- Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:
WARNING - Several different sources of power can be connected to the fire alarm
control panel. Disconnect all sources of power before servicing. Control unit and
associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards,
modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to
install, service, or operate this unit until this manual is read and understood.
CAUTION - System Reacceptance Test after Software Changes: To ensure
proper system operation, this product must be tested in accordance with NFPA 721993 Chapter 7 after any programming operation or change in site-specific software.
Reacceptance testing is required after any change, addition or deletion of system
components, or after any modification, repair or adjustment to system hardware or
wiring.
All components, circuits, system operations, or software functions known to be
affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addition, to ensure that other
operations are not inadvertently affected, at least 10% of initiating devices that are
not directly affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must also be
tested and proper system operation verified.
This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0-49O C/32-120O F and
at a relative humidity of 85% RH (non-condensing) at 30
useful life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic components may
be adversely affected by extreme temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore,
it is recommended that this system and its peripherals be installed in an
environment with a nominal room temperature of 15-27
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indicating device loops.
Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% I.R. drop from the specified device
voltage.
O
C/86O F. However, the
O
C/60-80O F.
Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may operate erratically or can
be damaged when subjected to lightning induced transients. Although no system is
completely immune from lightning transients and interferences, proper grounding will
reduce susceptibility. Overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended, due to
an increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Technical
Services Department if any problems are anticipated or encountered.
Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or inserting circuit boards.
Failure to do so can damage circuits.
Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling, filing, reaming, or punching
of the enclosure. When possible, make all cable entries from the sides or rear.
Before making modifications, verify that they will not interfere with battery,
transformer, and printed circuit board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Over tightening may damage
threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact pressure and difficulty with screw
terminal removal.
This system contains static-sensitive components. Always ground yourself with a
proper wrist strap before handling any circuits so that static charges are removed
from the body. Use static suppressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies
removed from the unit.
Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and programming manuals.
These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to the control panel and
associated equipment. FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper
installation.
Fire Alarm System Limitations
An automatic fire alarm system - typically made up of smoke detectors, heat
detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control
with remote notification capability can provide early warning of a developing fire.
Such a system, however, does not assure protection against property damage or
loss of life resulting from a fire.
Any fire alarm system may fail for a variety of reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach the detectors such
as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke
detectors also may not sense a fire on another level or floor of a building. A second
floor detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or basement fire. Furthermore, all types of smoke detectors - both ionization and photoelectric types, have
sensing limitations. No type of smoke detector can sense every kind of fire caused
by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions,
escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical
circuits, children playing with matches, or arson.
IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in the same room as the
control panel and in rooms used by the system for the connection of alarm
transmission wiring, communications, signaling, and/or power. If detectors are
not so located, a developing fire may damage the alarm system, crippling its
ability to report a fire.
While installing a fire alarm system may make lower insurance rates
possible, it is not a substitute for fire insurance!
FCC Warning
Audible warning devices such as bells may not alert people if these devices are
located on the other side of closed or partly open doors or are located on another
floor of a building.
A fire alarm system will not operate without any electrical power. If AC power fails,
the system will operate from standby batteries only for a specified time.
Rate-of-Rise heat detectors may be subject to reduced sensitivity over time. For
this reason, the rate-of-rise feature of each detector should be tested at least once
per year by a qualified fire protection specialist.
Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible with the control.
It is essential to use only equipment listed for service with your control panel.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premise to a central
monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily disabled.
The most common cause of fire alarm malfunctions, however, is inadequate
maintenance. All devices and system wiring should be tested and maintained by
professional fire alarm installers following written procedures supplied with each
device. System inspection and testing should be scheduled monthly or as required
by National and/or local fire codes. Adequate written records of all inspections should
be kept.
WARNING: This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may
cause interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for class A computing device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC
Rules, which is designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference
when operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user will be required
to correct the interference at his own expense.

2. Using the Control Panel Control Keys
Control Keys
The control panel provides five control keys, Acknowledge/Step, Alarm Silence, Alarm
Activate, System Reset, and Lamp Test.
Acknowledge Step Use the <Acknowledge/Step> key to respond to new alarm or
trouble signals. Pressing <Acknowledge/Step> causes the control panel to do the
following:
• silence the control panel sounder;
• change all indicators from flashing to steady;
• send an Acknowledge message to the history file, an optional printer, and an
optional ADT-LCD-80; and
• send a signal to silence the sounder on the ADT-LCD-80 and ACS annunciators.
You can also press the <Acknowledge/Step> key to display multiple alarms or troubles.
If more than one alarm or trouble exists, the control panel displays the next alarm or
trouble for 3 seconds (or until you press <Acknowledge/Step>), then displays the next
alarm or trouble.
Alarm Silence Use the <Alarm Silence> key to silence the control panel sounder as
well as sounders connected to Notification Appliance Circuits. Pressing <Alarm
Silence> causes the control panel to do the following:
• turn off the control panel sounder;

• sends a Manual Evacuate message to the history file, optional printer, and an
optional ADT-LCD-80.
System Reset Use the <System Reset> key to reset the control panel. Press <System
Reset> and the control panel does the following:
• turns off all alarm-activated M500CH modules and NAC circuits;
• breaks resettable power to four-wire detectors; and
• sends an All Systems Normal message to the history file, optional printer, and an
optional ADT-LCD-80.
Any alarm or trouble that exists after a System Reset reactivates NACs, control outputs,
and panel audio and visual indicators.
Lamp Test Use the <Lamp Test> key to test the control panel LEDs and sounder.
Press and hold <Lamp Test> and the control panel does the following:
• lights all control panel LEDs;
• turns on the control panel sounder; and
• lights all segments of the LCD display.

3. Operating Modes
Normal Operation
The system operates in Normal mode when no alarms or troubles exist. In Normal
mode, the control panel displays a system message as follows:
YOUR CUSTOM FORTY CHARACTER MESSAGEHERE
ALL SYSTEMS NORMAL11:30A TUE 02/11/97
Figure 3 All Systems Normal Message
In Normal mode, the control panel does the following functions at regular intervals:
• Polls all Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) devices and the four NACs to check for valid
replies, alarms, troubles, circuit integrity, and so on.
• Checks power supply troubles and batteries every 10 seconds.
• Sends a supervisory query on the ADT-LCD-80 and verifies proper response.
• Refreshes the LCD and the optional ADT-LCD-80 display and updates time.
• Scans the keypad for a System Reset or an Enter key press.
• Performs a detector automatic test operation.
• Tests system memory.
Note: M500CH modules report
both open and short circuit
messages.
Trouble Operation
The system goes into Trouble mode when the control panel detects an electrical or
mechanical fault. With no alarms, a control panel in Trouble mode does the following:
• Produces a pulsed audible tone;
• The System Trouble LED flashes;
• The trouble relay activates (MPS-400, TB5); and
• Sends a message to the LCD display, an optional ADT-LCD-80, an optional
printer, and the history file.

TROUBL CONTROL MODULE ADDRESS 22 Z00 OPEN CIRCUIT 08:12A 08/20/95 M22
Figure 5 Sample Trouble Message
If all troubles clear and no supervisory or fire conditions exist, the control panel does
the following:
• Returns to Normal mode;
• Sends an “All Systems Normal” message to the LCD display, the history file, an
optional ADT-LCD-80, an optional printer; and
• Restores troubles automatically even if troubles are not acknowledged.
Pressing <Alarm Silence> when only troubles exist, gives the same result as pressing
<Acknowledge/Step>. The Alarm Silenced LED does not light unless an alarm exists
in the system.
If multiple trouble conditions exist in the system, the LCD and optional ADT-LCD-80
displays automatically step through each trouble event every 3 seconds in the following
order:
1. Alarms, in order of address;
2. Supervisory, in order of address; or
3. Troubles, in order of address.
Press <Acknowledge/Step> and the display stops on the current trouble event for
1minute. Press <Acknowledge/Step> to continue.
Fire Alarm
The system goes into Fire Alarm mode when the control panel detects a fire alarm.
During Fire Alarm mode, the control panel does the following:
• Produces a steady audible tone;
• Activates the System Alarm relay (MPS-400, TB3) and flashes the System Alarm
LED;
• Displays Alarm in the status banner on the LCD display;
• Latches alarms so they cannot clear until the alarm initiating device returns to its
normal condition and the operator resets the control panel;
• Initiates any Control-by-Event actions;
• Starts timers (such as Silence Inhibit, Auto Silence); and
• Activates the general alarm zone (Z00).

Trouble Monitor Point Operation
Trouble Monitor-type M500M modules monitor remote power supplies or other
external equipment. These types of M500M modules operate like troubles—but with
the following differences:
• The LCD display status banner displays “Active”;
• The type code is “Trouble Mon”;
• The modules latch—until the troubles are returned to normal condition and an
operator resets the control panel; and
• M500M modules can have Control-by-Event.

3. Operating Modes Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) Operation
Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) Operation
The four NACs (TB7-TB10 on the MPS-400) have Control-by-Event and trouble
functions like M500CH addressable modules on the SLC loop. NAC circuits differ
from M500CH modules in the following ways:
• Addresses (last three characters in LCD field) are B01, B02, B03, or B04;
• The default type code field is “Bell Circuit”; and
• Control panel NACs, except those controlled with M500CH modules, can be used
for coded functions (March Time, California Code, Temporal, and Two-stage).
Control-By-Event Operation
Note: Zones F0-F9 are reserved
for special functions such as
cross-zoning (refer to the
Unimode400 Programming
Manual).
Control-by-event (CBE) control is done through 99 software zones. Each input point
(detector, M500M) and output point (M500CH, NAC) can be programmed to list up to
five software zones. Non-Alarm or Supervisory points do not activate software zone
Z00 (general alarm). You can list zone Z00 for output points, but you do not need to list
Z00 for input points.
Input and output devices with listed software zones work as follows:
• Inputs – When an input device (detector or M500M) activates, so do all software
zones listed to the input device.
Note: Refer to Appendix A for
more information about
releasing functions.
• Outputs – When a software zone activates, the output device turns on.
CBE Example Detector D102 lists zone Z05. B01 lists zone Z05 and zone Z07.
1. Detector D102 activates.
2. Zone Z05 activates.
3. B01 activates.
Releasing Functions
Overview Zones R0-R9 are reserved for releasing zones—providing up to ten
independent releasing operations. Each releasing zone includes the following options:
Option Description
Cross-zoning Select one of three types of cross-zoning. Refer to Table 5.
Delay Timer Select a 0–60 second delay before activating a zone.
Abort An abort switch-type code used to abort activation of a zone.
Manual Release Allows immediate zone activation by overriding the abort function,
cross-zone function, and delay timer.
Man. Rel. Delay Same as Manual Release, except releasing occurs 10 seconds after
“Man. Rel. Delay” is activated.
Soak Timer Automatically shuts off the releasing device. Select 0001-9999 seconds
for a Soak Timer or 0000 seconds for no Soak Timer.
Second Shot Reactivates release output after the Soak Timer times out.
Table 4 Cross Zoning Options

Releasing Functions 3. Operating Modes
Using Cross Zoning Options Cross Zoning lets you program the control panel to
activate a releasing zone after two initiating devices are tripped. (If not using Cross
Zoning, set CROSS= to N.) Table 5 contains a summary of the types of cross zoning
and the conditions for activating a releasing zone.
Type Activates when...
Y Two or more detectors, all mapped to one of the ten releasing zones (R0-R9), are
tripped.
Z Two or more detectors, mapped to two different software zones and one of the ten
releasing zones (R0-R9), are tripped.
H At least one smoke detector and at least one heat detector, all mapped to one of the
ten releasing zones (R0-R9), are tripped.
Table 5 Cross Zoning Types
Note: Only the first non-special
zone listed in the zone map is
used to determine Cross=Z.
Cross Zoning Example Table 6 lists examples of devices mapped to releasing zones
(ZR1 stands for Releasing Zone 1).

Table 6 Devices Mapped to Releasing Zones
The following explanations apply to the examples listed in Table 6:
Cross=N An alarm from any detector activates the releasing circuit.
•
Cross=Y An alarm from any two detectors activates the releasing circuit.
•
Cross=Z Release requires the activation of two detectors mapped to different

during normal operation. A typical application is a sleeping area
where a blinking light can distract people. As a standard function,
the control panel allows all LEDs to turn on in alarm.
The control panel performs alarm verification on programmed
500Series, 200 Series, and 3251 intelligent smoke detectors. The
verification time is a global program selection of 0–30 seconds.
Each detector includes a verification counter, which displays the
number of times that a detector entered verification but did not
time-out to alarm. The counter increments to 99 and holds.
