2.0 APPLICATION

The 2412, 2414, and 2418 panels are suitable for small to medium size buildings, requiring from two to eight Initiating Device Circuits (IDCs), and two Indicating Appliance Circuits (IACs).

2.1 Fire Alarm System Limitations

Fire Alarm Systems provide the occupants of a facility with early warning of smoke and fire conditions. Fire alarm systems use a variety of components to meet the requirements of each installation. The fire alarm panel, automatic and manual detection devices, alarm annunciators, and the installation wiring are all factors in a reliable system. To maintain proper operation, fire codes require, and this manufacturer recommends preventive maintenance and testing on a routine basis by qualified personnel.

3.0 THEORY OF OPERATION

3.1 Initiating Device Circuits (IDCs)

The supervised IDCs operate with compatible smoke detectors (refer to Appendix) and normally-open alarm initiating devices. An IDC may be programmed as an Alarm, Waterflow/Supervisory, or Supervisory zone. Alarm zones may have verified or non-verified operation. Waterflow/Supervisory zones programmed with or without a 15 second retard period, also support a single supervisory input device with a

Wseries resistor. IDC circuits may take one of four operating states: Normal, Trouble, Alert, or Alarm.

1.1K Table 3.1 defines the states for the various IDC zone types.

WARNING! Do NOT put contact devices on Low Impedance Verified Circuits.

An active IDC defined as an Alarm or Waterflow Zone may be identified by a steady red zone LED. Active IDCs defined as supervisory zones may be identified by a rapid flashing amber zone LED.

When an IDC is programmed as a waterflow zone, the IACs DO NOT respond to the ALARM SIL ENCE switch or automatic alarm silence until the waterflow device is no longer active. Both an alarm initiating device and a supervisory contact may co-exist on the same circuit by putting a 1.1K supervisory contact. When the waterflow with retard option is programmed, a special algorithm samples the circuit repeatedly. If 66% of the samples taken in any 15 second period indicate a waterflow (shorted) condition, the circuit activates a waterflow alarm.

When an IDC is programmed as a verified zone and a smoke alarm is detected, the panel enters the Alarm Verification state. A twenty five second sequence in which the detector is reset, delayed, and restarted is initiated, as shown in Figure 3.1. If auxiliary power is programmed as resettable, it is deenergized for the reset period. Following the reset-delay-restart sequence, a 60 second verification window is opened. If the verifying zone should go into the Alert, Alarm, or Trouble conditions within the 60 second window as shown in Figure 3.2, the panel enters the alarm mode. If any other IDC on the panel goes into the alert or alarm state during the verification period, the panel immediately enters the alarm mode. Dry contact alarm initiating devices may be combined with High Impedance 2-wire smoke detectors on verified zones. The closing of a normally open dry contact alarm initiating device generates an Alarm state immediately, and the panel enters the alarm mode.

Initiating Device Circuit, Class A (Style D) Operation

To convert a Class B (Style B) IDC zone to a Class A (Style D) IDC zone, install a 2400-BPA Class A

Ω in series with the

NOTE

2- Wire Relay Bases are NOT supported on Initiating Device Circuits (IDCs).

(Style D/Z) Converter on the base panel, or a 2400-IDCA Class A (Style D) Converter on the Two Zone IDC Module. The converters provides an alternate path to the zone module for all Initiating Devices in the event of a single wire break in an IDC.

Figure 3.1 - Unsustained Alarm Operation

Figure 3.2 - Verified Alarm Operation

3.2 Indicating Appliance Circuits (IACs)

Two supervised Indicating Appliance Circuits (IACs) operate using compatible 24 VDC (nominal) polarized signaling appliances. Each circuit is rated at nominal 24 VDC @ 2.5 Amps, with a total of 4.0 Amps available for both circuits. An IAC may be programmed as either silenceable or non-silenceable. Signal rate selection is independently programmable for each IAC as shown in Figure 3.3. Refer to the Appendix for compatible Indicating Appliances.

Figure 3.3 - IAC Signal Rates

IACs generate a trouble indication (slow flashing LED) when field wiring is open or shorted. In an open fault condition, the panel will attempt to energize the signal appliances (i.e., all appliances up to the circuit break will operate). An IAC with shorted field wiring will NOT operate in the event of an alarm. If an IAC develops a short during an alarm, the IAC will automatically shut off and continuously monitor the field wiring. When the fault is cleared, the IAC will re-energize. These actions protect the power supply and other panel components from damage caused by the short circuit.

Indicating Appliance Circuit, Class A (Style Z) Operation

To convert Class B IAC zones to Class A (Style Z) IAC zones, install a 2400-BPA Class A (Style D/Z) Converter Module on the base panel. The converter provides alternate paths to the base panel for both Indicating Appliance Circuits in the event of a single wire break in an IAC.

4.0 INSTALLATION

4.1 Codes and Standards

CAUTION

The electronic components used in this system are sensitive to static electricity. Always

discharge any static buildup on your body by touching the panel enclosure before

handling any electronic components.

WARNING

The System Power Supply (the printed circuit board on the back of the Base Panel

Assembly) handles 170 VDC when powered. DO NOT handle this board with power on.

1. Remove the Base Panel Assembly from its anti-static carton.

2. Remove and place the anti-static foam packing on a flat work area.

3. Place the Base Panel Assembly Display face down on the foam packing. Leave the factory end-of-line

resistors in place on the base panel and expansion modules until making final connections.

Option Module Installation If your system requires no optional expansion modules, skip to the section entitled Base Panel Assembly Installation.

1. Refer to the CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION 1 and CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION 2 drawings.

2. Remove the Power Supply from the Base Panel Assembly to allow for first module installation.

3. Install Expansion Modules on the Base Panel Assembly from left to right (front view) starting with IDC Modules, Remote Annunciator Driver Modules, then the Relay/City-Tie Modules. Before installing

the ADM & ADS Annunciator Driver Modules, verify that all jumpers are installed. Before installing the RCT Relay/City-Tie Modules, verify that jumpers 1 & 2 are installed. Refer to RELAY/CITY-TIE & REMOTE ANNUNCIATOR drawings for additional jumper information.

NOTE

The Dialer Module MUST be installed in position number 3 or higher to prevent

mechanical interference with other system components.

Do NOT connect the Dialer Module’s ribbon cable to the adjacent module until the rest of the system has been installed and tested.

4. Insert all ribbon connectors (except the Dialer Module) into the adjacent socket, and re-install the Power Supply on the back of the Base Panel Assembly. The Dialer Module will be connected later.

5. For Class A (Style D/Z) circuits, install the 2400-BPA Class A Converter modules on the back of the Base Panel Board and 2400-IDCA on the back of the IDC Expansion Modules. Refer to CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION 1, CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION 2, and INITIATING DEVICE CIRCUIT drawings.

Base Panel Assembly Installation

1. Refer to the CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION 1 or CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION 2 drawings. If a 2400-BATBOX Battery Cabinet is required, refer to the CONTROL PANEL APPLICATIONS 2 drawing for information.

2. Lift wiring up and away from the backbox, and install the Base Panel Assembly using the four quick fasteners. Do not connect control circuit wiring at this time.

3. Install the panel door and make the ground connection (green wire) from the power supply to the middle door mounting stud.

WARNING

Batteries can deliver extremely high currents. To prevent serious burns caused by short

circuiting the battery, remove all jewelry before handling.

4. Place the batteries in the lower right area of the backbox. If using the external battery cabinet, put the batteries in the battery cabinet.

5. Interconnect the cells per the CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION 1 or CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION 2 drawings. If a Battery Cabinet is being used, refer to the CONTROL PANEL APPLICATIONS 2 drawing for information. Connect panel battery leads at this time. Observe polarity: Red =

positive (+); Black = negative (-)

CAUTION

Observe polarity. Red is positive(+), Black is negative(-). A non-replaceable fuse

protects the system from damage caused by a reversed battery connection.

Power Up

1. Verify that all factory installed end-of-line resistors are still in place, all -ADM & -ADS module jumpers are all installed, and -RCT module jumpers 1 & 2 are installed.

2. Connect primary power wires: Line, Neutral, and Ground to the input terminals of the power supply.

3. Energize AC power to the system. When you first apply power to the system it will follow an

initialization procedure. This procedure programs all connected IDCs as non-verified alarm inputs and identifies the configuration of all output modules (it can take up to 15 seconds). You will see zone LEDs turning on and off in sequence and communication LEDs (lower edge of expansion module boards) flashing. Allow the system to complete this procedure before touching any controls. At the end of the process, all LEDs except the Power On LED should be off. If the system trouble LED is on and the trouble signal is sounding, refer to the trouble shooting procedures in this manual. If module LEDs remain on steady, refer to the Programming section for additional information.

4 Install the lower protective plastic barrier over the high voltage terminals. Make sure to install this

cover strip. It protects you from the high voltage input terminals and traces on the power supply printed circuit board.

Programming the Panel

1. Remove the Common Control insert card, reverse it, and then return it to its panel location. The Common Control switches are now labeled for programming functions.

2. Refer to Table 5.1 for panel default operations and the PANEL PROGRAMMING drawing for programming information. For Dialer Module programming, refer to the DIALER MODULE drawing

3. Fill-in the Panel Configuration & Programming Worksheets (located in the Appendix) and program the panel for the desired operation. Save the Panel Configuration Worksheets for future reference.

4. Remove, label, and re-insert the IDC, Relay/City-Tie, and Anunciator Driver Module insert cards. Use the Panel Configuration Worksheets in this manual to assist in labeling. Reverse the Base Panel insert card to display Fire Alarm Control functions.

Panel Function Testing

1. Test panel operations by shorting (Alarm) or opening (Trouble) the factory installed End-Of-Line resistors.

2. To activate IDC circuits which combine high impedance smoke detectors and contact devices, or supervisory signal operation of a waterflow/supervisory circuit, use a 1.2K End-Of-Line resistor.

3. Remove the End-Of-Line resistor to verify proper trouble response.

4. Reset the panel, allowing 20 seconds for the panel to return to normal.

IDC & IAC Field Wiring Connections

1. Refer to the CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION, initiating device circuit wiring, control panel applications 1, & control panel applications 2 drawings for wiring details.

2. Dress all wires to allow "hinging" the Base Panel Assembly on the left by dressing your connections from right to left. This allows you to rotate the Base Panel Assembly out of the enclosure for access to system modules, facilitating additions or changes.

3. Leaving the system powered up, install the IDC & IAC circuits one at a time. The system will go into Trouble mode. Remember to remove the factory installed End-of-Line resistor from the panel or module terminals.)
