System overview

Functions

Peer-to-peer Communications

The FPA‑1000 panels (-V2) allow peer-to-peer
networking of up to eight panels in a single group
supporting a system which can include up to 2000
points.
Networked panels act as a single panel – enabling all
events to be displayed on all units. All connected
panels can easily be programmed and controlled via
any connected panel.
Ethernet, fiber optic, or 2-conductor wire inter‑panel
connections can be mixed providing flexibility in
system design.

System Management

A set of interactive Web pages gives you an instant
means to access and record important system
functions. This unique feature enables programming
and diagnostic capabilities while offsite, streamlining
installation and reducing the time required for
servicing the system. And, you can check status and
manage the system from virtually anywhere on the
network.

Communications

The FPA‑1000 panels have a dual phone line PSTN/
DACT circuit and an Ethernet connection featuring
Conettix IP reporting. The panels communicate in
Contact ID, SIA, and Modem IIIa2. The panels provide
miscellaneous reporting functions such as dialing

control and transmission supervision, priorities of
report groups, routing to destinations, manual and
auto test reports, and Anti-Replay feature.
For the primary and secondary account, the following
features are programmable:

• Two different phone or IP numbers

• Different dialing types for PSTN (pulse only,
automatic, or tone only)

• Individual PSTN line supervision (audible and visual
trouble signal in the case of a transmission path
failure)

• Selectable options for Report Steering Groups

• Programmable acknowledge wait time for each IP
reporting Conettix account (10 sec up to 255 sec)

• Test report frequency individually programmable for
each account (4, 12, 24 hour, 7 and 28 day intervals,
standard frequency 24 hour)

Applications

The panels are recommended for a wide range of
commercial and public building applications, including:

• Retail – single building applications

• Education – schools and universities

• Residential - apartment buildings

• Commercial – manufacturing plants, warehouses and
office complexes

• Government and Public Service – military bases and
installations

• Medical – healthcare facilities

Multi-criteria Detectors

A range of pull stations, modules, accessories and
detectors are available to meet the needs of your
application. These include the new Automatic Fire
Detector 440 Series that incorporate multi-criteria
technology for higher sensitivity, faster detection, and
fewer false alarms.

Gas detection

Integrated gas detection is an important element of
your facility’s fire and life safety strategy. Using
FCC-380 Carbon Monoxide detectors combined with
an addressable monitor module, you can set your
system to alarm for carbon monoxide to meet the
NFPA 720 (2009) requirements for visual and audible
annunciation for this hazardous gas.

Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs)

Two Class A Style Z or Class B Style Y NACs provide up
to 4 A of 24 V power (non-synchronized: 2.5 A per
NAC; synchronized: 2.75 A NAC 1 + NAC 2 in total) to
operate horns, strobes, bells, and other notification
appliances. Each NAC can be programmed to provide
Temporal Code 4, Temporal Code 3, and steady,
pulsing, and synchronized protocol output for
Wheelock, Gentex, and System Sensor notification
appliances.

On-board Relays

Three programmable on-board relays default to global
alarm (zone 226), global system trouble (zone 227),
and global system supervisory (zone 228). They can be
programmed to activate on a variety of conditions
including gas alarm.

Option Bus

On the Option Bus, the panels support:

• up to eight FMR-1000-RCMD Remote Command
Centers and FMR-1000-RA Remote Annunciators in
any combination

• up to eight D7030X Series LED Annunciators with
eight LED zones each,

• up to eight D7030X Series/D7032 combinations

• up to two Octal Relay Modules or Octal Driver
Modules

• up to four FPP‑RNAC‑8A‑4C Remote Notification
Appliance Circuit Power Supplies.

The outputs of the Octal Relay Modules or Octal Driver
Modules are fully programmable, and can be activated
by system events. These outputs have the same
programming options as the local relays. Each output
operates independently of the other seven to provide
complete flexibility. Communication with the D7035/B
or D7048/B is supervised.

Power

A transformer working with 120 VAC or 240 VAC is
supplied standard with the control panel. Two backup
batteries with 7 Ah to 18 Ah each fit inside the fire
panel cabinet. A separate battery box can provide
higher capacity. An automated battery calculator sheet
is available online to aid in battery selection and
submittal paperwork.
The panels provide two auxiliary power supplies (one
FWR and one DC) with 0.5 A at 24 V each, with
switchable AUX/RST. This auxiliary power can run
expansion boards or other low current auxiliary
devices.
For installations requiring battery capacity higher than
40 Ah, a regulated and UL1481 Listed external power
supply can be used. The external power supply
connects through the panel's battery terminals and is
supervised for AC and battery fault by an input module
on the SLC.
The FPP-RNAC-8A-4C Remote NAC Booster adds four
additional Notification Appliance Circuits (NFPA 72,
Class A Style Z or Class B Style Y) to the fire panel or
serves as a power supply for fire protective signaling
systems. This regulated power supply provides up to
8 A of power that is used to recharge batteries and
operate continuous and intermittent alarm loads. This
8 A of power can be distributed through the four NAC
Power Supply circuits that are part of the FPP­RNAC-8A-4C. The FPP-RNAC-8A-4C is UL Listed for use
in commercial fire alarm applications.

Signaling Line Circuits (SLCs)

The panels communicate with each of the analog
addressable devices located on the SLCs. The SLCs
allow the use of standard non‑twisted, non‑shielded
wiring. Each panel supports two Class B, Style 4 or
one Class A, Style 6 or 7 per SLC.

Installation/configuration notes

Mounting Considerations

The cabinet can be either semi-flush (requires optional
FPM‑1000‑SFMK Semi-flush Mounting Kit) or surface
mounted.
Depending on the configuration and the battery
selection, the FPA‑1000 can be quite heavy. When
attaching the enclosure to a surface, use mounting
hardware (not supplied) capable of supporting this
weight, and reinforce the wall as necessary.

Wiring Considerations

The length of wire allowed between the control panel
and the last device on a wiring run depends on the
current drawn on that wiring run. Reducing the
number of devices on a wiring run allows the
individual runs to be longer.
If not otherwise specified, use wire gauge 12 AWG to
18 AWG (ISO 4 mm2 to 0.75 mm2).

Notice

Shared cable is not recommended for the Option
Bus, addressable‑points bus, telephone, or NAC
wiring. Do not run wiring for NAC, Option Bus,
and SLC in the same conduit. Avoid shielded or
twisted-pair wire except for network connections
and special applications where a reduced length
of wiring (roughly 50%) is acceptable for
tolerating a harsh electrical environment.

Point Capacity/Configuration

Each FPA-1000-V2 panel supports up to 508
addresses, 254 per loop. For addresses above 127 on
each loop, only the FAA‑325‑B6S Sounder base,
FAP‑325‑V2F Smoke Detector, FLM‑325-I4‑A,
FLM‑325‑I4‑AI, and FLM-325-IM Contact Monitors,
FLM‑325‑NA4 and FLM‑325‑NAI4 Supervised Output
