SA-DACT FCC information

Cautions

• To ensure proper operation, this dialer must be installed according to the enclosed installation instructions. To verify that the dialer is operating properly and can successfully report an alarm, it must be tested immediately after installation, and periodically thereafter, according to the enclosed test instructions.

E-FSA64 and E-FSA250 Technical Reference Manual v

• In order for the dialer to be able to seize the phone line to report an alarm or other event when other customer equipment (telephone, answering system, computer modem, etc.) connected to the same line is in use, the dialer must be connected to a properly installed RJ-31X jack. The RJ-31X jack must be connected in series with, and ahead of, all other equipment attached to the same phone line. Series installation of an RJ-31X jack is depicted in the wiring diagram. If you have any questions concerning these instructions, you should consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

Testing

When programming emergency numbers or making test calls to emergency numbers, remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call. Perform programming and testing activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evenings.

Compliance

• This dialer complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). A label attached to the dialer contains, among other information, a product

identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this information

must be provided to the telephone company.

• The plug and jack used to connect the dialer to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by ACTA. The dialer must be connected to a compliant RJ-31X or RJ-38X jack using a compliant cord. If a modular telephone cord is supplied with the dialer, it is designed to meet these requirements. See installation instructions for details.

• A ringer equivalence number (REN) is used to determine how many devices you can connect to a telephone line. If the total REN value for all devices

connected on a telephone line exceeds that allowed by the telephone

company, the devices may not ring on an incoming call. In most (but not all)

areas the total REN value should not exceed 5.0. To be certain of the total REN value allowed on a telephone line, contact the local telephone company.

• For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN is part of the product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits ## represent the REN without a decimal point. Example: 03 is an REN of 0.3. For earlier products the REN is listed separately.

vi E-FSA64 and E-FSA250 Technical Reference Manual

• If the dialer is harming the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be

required. If advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify you as soon as possible. You will also be advised of your right to file a

complaint with the FCC, if you believe it is necessary.

• The telephone company may make changes to its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of the dialer. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

• If you are experiencing problems with the dialer, contact the manufacturer for repair or warranty information. If the dialer is harming the telephone network,

the telephone company may request that you disconnect the dialer until the problem is resolved.

• The dialer contains no user serviceable parts. In case of defects, return the dialer for repair.

• You may not connect the dialer to a public coin phone or a party line service provided by the telephone company.

Chapter 2: Front panel programming

Getting started

You can program the system using the command buttons on the front panel, or a

PC with the optional configuration utility (CU), or both. If you plan to use the configuration utility, refer to the Help system for complete programming instructions.

What is a zone?

A zone is a collection of points that are grouped together in the project database in the same manner that the system designer divided the protected premises. Zones provide a single zonal response and are used to limit the number of event messages processed by the system. Firewall designations, planned evacuation criteria, architectural design, and other factors determine how points are grouped into zones.

What is a correlation group?

A correlation group is a collection of inputs that activate a collection of outputs. During loop configuration, input devices, zones, and events are correlated with NACs and other output devices.

Output activations depend on the activation count and delay options. The activation count controls the number of input activations that are required to

activate the group’s outputs. The delay controls the number of seconds the system waits before activating the group’s outputs. For example:

• When the correlation group’s activation count is 1 (default), the activation of

any input device in the group turns on every output device in the group.

• When the activation count is 3, every output device in the group is activated when at least three input devices activate.

• When the correlation group’s activation count is 3 and three or more input devices turn on, the system waits the delay time before activating the group’s outputs.

A correlation group can contain any combination of input devices, output devices, NACs, events, and zones. Input devices, output devices, NACs, events, and zones can be assigned to more than one correlation group. There are 199 available correlation groups. You can add a forty-character, alphanumeric description to each correlation group.

Figure 44: Inputs and outputs to correlation groups

During auto programming the following devices are assigned to correlation group 001:

• All addressable smoke detectors

• All addressable pull stations

• All E-2WIRE modules

• All E-IDC1B (mini modules)

• Any circuit on an E-IDC2B or E-IDC1A configured with the P1 or P2 switch in

position 1 (alarm)

E-FSA64 and E-FSA250 Technical Reference Manual 33

Chapter 2: Front panel programming

• Circuit one on all E-IDCWS modules

• All E-NAC and E-RLY modules

• All panel NACs

• All zones configured as alarm

The following inputs are not included in correlation group 001 during auto programming:

• Relay and sounder bases with the Follow option set to Head. All sounder bases are programmed as Relay during auto programing.

Note the following:

• Any items included in correlation group 001 can be removed manually using front panel programming or the configuration utility.

• Any detectors, modules, or zones, where the type is changed to a type other than alarm, should be removed manually from correlation group 001 to avoid activating that correlation group.

• If zoning is used, the zones must be in the appropriate correlation group so devices assigned to that zone activate the correlation group.

What is in-suite signal silence?

In-suite signal silence is a form of automatic alarm silencing that can be enabled for correlation groups. The function is used in residential complexes to minimize the annoyance of false alarms within living quarters. When an alarm input device activates, evacuation signals activate normally. After one minute, alarms in living quarters outside the alarm zone deactivate briefly. This interval is called the shutdown period and gives building personnel time to investigate the problem. Room evacuation signals in the alarm zone and hallway signals throughout the building remain active.

If the alarm has not been cleared within programmed allotted time (1 to 10

minutes), or if a subsequent alarm occurs, all signals resound. The shutdown period can be adjusted at the panel. In-suite signal silence can be turned off completely at the panel by setting the Suite Signal Silence option to Off (default). This setting is found at Program > Advanced Program > Panel Operation.

Notes

• Only alarm events can initiate in-suite signal silence.

• Only the first alarm is silenced by in-suite signal silence. Any additional

alarms sound as programmed and are not automatically silenced.

34 E-FSA64 and E-FSA250 Technical Reference Manual

Chapter 2: Front panel programming

• In-suite signal silence applies only to output devices and NACs that are configured as silenceable. It cannot be used in local alarm signaling

applications.

• You cannot use a delay timer with in-suite correlation groups.

• No special hardware is required.

• In-suite signal silence is required by Ontario Building Code 3.2.4. For

instructions on programming in-suite signal silence in a typical system, see “Adding and removing panel events” on page 90

Programming modes

You can choose from three levels of program automation: Auto programming,

incremental programming, or advanced programming. These are discussed in the following sections.

Auto programming

The Auto Program command is used to automatically configure the control panel and remote annunciators from their respective front panels.

Auto programming replaces the existing project database with a default project database based on the hardware configuration that it detects. The default project database configures the system as a general fire alarm system that activates all notification appliance circuits when any fire alarm input is activated.

Auto programming can also be used as a first step, to be followed by some advanced programming to customize individual settings. The Auto Program command lets you choose:

• Automatic zone assignments

• The event notification level to use

• Manual or automatic device and zone labeling during auto programming

• The “base follow” option for relay and sounder bases

• CMS network and dialer options

Note: Auto programming does not overwrite the previous CMS programming.

However, the restore panel defaults option in the program menu does change the CMS configuration.

To auto program a panel, see “Auto programming the panel” on page 61

Incremental programming

The Incremental Program command is used to make changes to a panel that has already been programmed. Incremental programming lets you add and label

devices and zones in the existing database without affecting any other settings.

E-FSA64 and E-FSA250 Technical Reference Manual 35

Button

Arrow buttons

Menu button

Enter button

Alphanumeric keypad

Cancel button

Incremental programming is typically used to add or remove an additional loop of devices or a large number of devices to the system. See “Performing incremental

programming” on page 69.

The Unconfigured Alarm command is used to add an additional device or several

devices to a system without using the Incremental Program command. When a

new device is added or a device is removed, the panel signals a “trouble active” event and indicates on the LCD that there is an unconfigured device. The device can then be programmed and added to the database. This method is typically used to add just a few devices. See “Adding and removing devices from programmed systems” on page 73.

Advanced programming

Advanced programming is used to apply custom programming to a new or previously programmed fire alarm system. Advanced programming lets you configure each option individually. See “Advanced programming” on page 84.

Using the programming control buttons

The following buttons are used with the LCD to program the panel.

Clearing the event history log

The panel maintains a log of 1,000 system or user events. The event record contains the event time, the event type, the event state, and the event ID. The event time is the time and date of the event activation or restoration. All of these

records are stored in the panel’s history database and can be cleared (deleted) if

needed.

Once the history log is cleared, all new panel events are stored in history. You might want to clear the history log in the following situations:

• When installation is complete, you can clear the history log before turning the system over to the building owner.

• If the system history log is filled with event records resulting from a faulty device, problem, or situation, you can clear the history log after the problem is addressed.

Note: When the history log is full, the oldest event is deleted when a new event is added.

To clear the event history log:

aspects of the process by programming the options listed in:

• “Auto programming options” on page 62

• “Dialer options” on page 64

• “NET options” on page 66

Auto programming sets up a common alarm system. After the auto programming process has finished, you can continue with advanced programming to apply any custom settings that may be required.

Caution: Auto programming replaces the current settings for devices, NACs, remote annunciators, and expansion cards with default settings.

Notes

• Before starting the auto programming sequence, set the time and date and change the default passwords. “Factory default settings” on page 36 for a list

of all the settings that will be applied during auto programming.

• Auto programming places most input devices and NACs in correlation group

Advanced programming

Overview

Advanced programming lets you program the panel manually and apply custom settings. Most options have a factory default setting that you can accept or

change. See “Factory default settings” on page 36.

In advanced programming, you can custom program the loop configuration

options (loops, devices, zones, etc.), panel configuration options (annunciators, dialer, network, printer, etc.), panel operation options (language, marketplace, AC fail delay, etc.), panel events, and loop events. All of these options can be programmed directly from the front panel.

To do advanced programming, you must have a level two password and it is recommended that you complete the programming worksheets and have them available before beginning to program the system. Go to Appendix B “Worksheets” on page 211 to get a copy of each worksheet.

Note: Before starting the advanced programming sequence, set the time and

date, and then change the default passwords. See “Setting the time and date” on page 48 and “Changing the passwords” on page 51.
