System overview and operation

If the optional FSDACT is installed, the panel:

Sends a record of the event to the FSDACT LCD and to the history log

Uses the FSDACT to transmit event messages to a monitoring station as programmed

System overview

FireShield is available in three models: three-zone, five-zone, and ten-zone. Each model is similar except for the number of initiating device circuits (IDCs) and notification appliance circuits (NACs), as shown in the following table.

Model numbers may have the following suffixes: G or R indicates gray or red enclosure, GD or RD indicates panel with FSDACT, GC indicates ULC panel with terminal shield, GF indicates a French ULC panel with terminal shield, and G-2 indicates 230 Vac input.

Each panel is configured for Class B operation. All models except for the three-zone can be easily converted to Class A by using two Class B circuits to make one Class A circuit.

FireShield has the following optional components:

Remote System Indicator (FSRSI)

Remote Zone Indicator (FSRZI-A)

Remote Relay Module (FSRRM)

Power Expander Transformer (XTR3A120, XTR3A230) (ten-zone only)

DACT (Dialer)/Modem (FSDACT)

City Tie Module (CTM4.7)

Reverse Polarity Module (RPM)

Battery Cabinet (BC-2)

Refer to Chapter 2 “Installation” for optional module details.

Operations overview

The panel operates in normal mode in the absence of any alarm, supervisory, trouble, or monitor events. In normal mode, the control panel monitors the system.

The panel operates in off-normal mode any time an event is introduced into the system. When this happens, the panel:

Changes contact positions on appropriate common relays

Activates alarm outputs (for alarm events only)

Turns on the appropriate LEDs and the panel buzzer

Executes the appropriate programmed output response for the input that signaled the event

Communicates event information to appropriate optional components (FSRSI, FSRZI-A, CTM4.7, or RPM)

System overview and operation

Operating the panel

Resetting the panel

Pressing Reset places the panel in the reset state. The panel should not be reset until the appropriate authority has determined that the hazard is no longer present.

When you reset the panel:

All LEDs on the panel light for five seconds

The trouble and power lights remain on for an additional 15 seconds

When reset is complete, the buzzer sounds (then turns off) and the trouble LED turns off

In this state:

All panel indicators are temporarily cleared

All notification appliances are turned off

All latched IDCs are cleared

Alarm, trouble, and supervisory relays are returned to the inactive state

Auxiliary power (if programmed as resettable) momentarily turns off

At the conclusion of the reset, if an IDC is in an off-normal state, the panel treats the event as a new event and activates the programmed responses. Pressing Disable for the active IDC within 30 seconds after the panel has reset turns off the NACs and disables the IDC.

If one or more IDCs are disabled prior to initiation of the reset, those IDCs remain disabled.

If signal silence inhibit or reset inhibit is enabled, system reset is inhibited during the silence or reset inhibit period.

To reset the panel:

1.Press the Reset button.

Silencing panel and FSRSI buzzers

Both the panel and the optional FSRSI module have buzzer silence buttons. Pressing the Panel Silence button silences the buzzer on the panel and on remote FSRSIs.

Pressing the FSRSI Silence button silences the buzzer on the FSRSI only.

To silence the panel buzzer:

1.Press the Panel Silence button on the panel.

2.Determine the type of condition that caused the buzzer to sound: alarm, trouble, supervisory, or monitor.

3.Determine the cause of the condition.

To silence an FSRSI buzzer:

1.Press the Silence button on the FSRSI.

2.Determine the type of condition that caused the buzzer to sound: alarm, trouble, supervisory, or monitor.

3.Determine the cause of the condition.

Silencing notification appliances

Pressing the Signal Silence & Drill button turns off all audible devices. Visual devices or NAC circuits may or may not turn off, depending on panel programming.

When you silence the signals, the Signal Silenced LED lights, indicating that the notification appliances are off. The panel does not indicate a trouble condition. If GENESIS, horn/strobe, or horn-only devices are used on NACs programmed for GENESIS operation, Signal Silence & Drill silences only the horns.

WARNING: The notification appliances should not be silenced until the building is fully evacuated and the cause of the alarm has been determined.

To silence notification appliances:

1.Press the Signal Silence & Drill button.

When the auto signal silence timer is programmed

When an event activates the notification appliances, the 20minute auto signal silence timer is activated. The notification appliances are activated for the 20-minute period. When the timer expires, any NACs that are programmed as silenceable are deactivated, and the Signal Silenced LED is illuminated.

If another event takes place that activates the previously silenced notification appliances, the Signal Silenced LED turns off. At any time, you can deactivate silenceable NACs by pressing Signal Silence & Drill.

Note: NACs activated by IDCs programmed as waterflow cannot be silenced until the activated devices are restored to normal. After the devices restore, the Signal Silence & Drill button or the auto signal silence timer can silence the NACs.

Resounding an alarm condition

Pressing the Signal Silence & Drill button again turns the audible devices back on if they were silenced.

To resound notification appliances:

1.Press the Signal Silence & Drill button.

Note: NACs resound automatically if a new alarm (from another IDC) is received.

1.4

FireShield Technical Reference Manual

Disabling an IDC

Pressing an IDC Disable button prevents the panel from responding to any status change from that IDC. When you disable an IDC:

The common Disable LED double-flashes

The IDC Trouble LED double-flashes

The common Trouble LED lights and the panel goes into a trouble state

The common trouble relay changes state

Resetting the panel has no effect on a disabled IDC, but removing all power from the panel clears the disable and enables the IDC.

Note: During an alarm condition, all flashing LEDs go steady.

To disable an IDC:

1.Press the Disable button for the IDC that you want to disable.

Disabling a NAC

When you disable an NAC:

The common Disable LED double-flashes

The NAC Trouble LED double-flashes

The common Trouble LED lights and the panel goes into a trouble state

The common trouble relay changes state

Resetting the panel has no effect on a disabled NAC, but removing all power from the panel clears the disable and enables the NAC.

To disable a NAC:

1.Press the Disable button for the NAC that you want to disable.

Re-enabling an IDC or NAC

You can re-enable a disabled IDC or NAC. When you reenable an IDC or NAC:

The common Disable LED turns off

The IDC or NAC trouble LED turns off

The common Trouble LED turns off and the panel returns to normal

The IDC or NAC LEDs are updated to show current status (e.g. if the IDC or NAC is in trouble, the Trouble LED lights). After enabling an IDC, alarms from that IDC are inhibited for 30 seconds. During this time the IDC can be disabled to avoid an unwanted alarm.

System overview and operation

To re-enable an IDC or NAC:

1.Press the Disable button for the IDC or NAC you want to re-enable.

Using the drill command

You can use the drill command to activate all of the notification appliance circuits. Pressing Drill activates all audibles and visuals according to the panel programming, but does not activate the Alarm relay. The FSDACT can be programmed to transmit a drill condition, but it will never report the drill as an alarm. Drill will not operate with an active alarm or supervisory event at the panel.

To perform a fire drill:

1.Press and hold the Signal Silence & Drill button for one second.

2.To stop the drill, press and hold the Signal Silence & Drill button for one second.

Using the walk test command

A walk test lets you test IDC zones without having to create an actual alarm condition. You can conduct a walk test in silent or audible mode. In silent mode the audible devices (NACs) do not sound. Walk test will not operate with an active alarm or supervisory event at the panel.

Zones should be placed in walk test one at a time. This allows the balance of the system to remain in service.

In a walk test, the panel responds to the first signal it receives and ignores all others on that IDC until it clears that signal or the panel is reset. The input must be restored to the normal state before the next input is tested. When the input is restored, the panel automatically resets the circuit being tested. The automatic reset takes eight seconds. After the circuit is reset the next device can be tested.

The panel terminates the walk test if any of the following occur:

The panel enters an alarm or supervisory state

There are 30 minutes of inactivity on the zone being tested

The panel is reset

Walk Test is pressed

When you press Walk Test:

The Walk Test LED flashes for an audible walk test and is steady for a silent walk test

The panel enters a trouble state. There is no fire protection for the IDC in walk test. If an unselected IDC goes into alarm or trouble, all programmed outputs operate as programmed.

FireShield Technical Reference Manual

1.5

System overview and operation

The IDC you are testing behaves as follows:

For alarm events, the appropriate panel, FSRSI, and FSRZI-A LEDs and buzzers are turned on

In the audible test mode the notification appliances sound for a number of times equal to the zone number (e.g. three rings for zone three)

After activation, the panel resets the IDC. This will take eight seconds. During the reset period, the IDC trouble LED fast-flashes. If the device being tested is not restored, the IDC does not reset. If the device is restored (no alarm is present) the panel is ready to test another device or detector.

If auxiliary power is programmed as resettable, the auxiliary power is deactivated while the zone is reset

Input zones programmed as waterflow with retard require 10 to 15 seconds of activation to initiate the test signals

For trouble events, the appropriate LEDs and the buzzers are turned on. In the audible (NAC) test mode a onesecond pulse sounds on the audible devices. After sounding, the zone resets in preparation for continued testing.

For ground fault events, the appropriate LEDs and the buzzers are turned on. In the audible (NAC) test mode a one-second pulse sounds on the audible devices. After sounding, the zone resets in preparation for continued testing.

To conduct an audible walk test:

1.Press the Walk Test button once.

2.Press the Disable button for the IDC you want to test.

3.Conduct your walk test for the IDC.

4.When you are finished testing an IDC, press the Disable button to turn off the walk test for that IDC.

5.Select another IDC to walk test (steps 2 through 4) or exit from the walk test by pressing the Walk Test button.

To conduct a silent walk test:

1.Press the Walk Test button two times.

2.Press the Disable button for the IDC you want to test.

3.Conduct your walk test for the IDC.

4.When you are finished testing an IDC, press the Disable button to turn off the walk test for that IDC.

5.Select another IDC to walk test (steps 2 through 4) or exit from the walk test by pressing the Walk Test button.

Installing the Remote Relay Module

The Remote Relay Module (FSRRM) provides five dry contact relay outputs. The outputs can be wired as both normally open and normally closed. The outputs can be set to common or zone notifications (see the “Command options” table below). Installing the appropriate jumper (JP3 - JP5) configures the dry contact relay output options.

Five diagnostic LEDs provide visual indication of the status of each relay. If the LED is lit, the relay is energized. If the LED is off, the relay is de-energized. If configured for common operation the trouble relay and the power relay will be energized when the system is normal.

Note: You must run the Find Annunciators program option after adding or removing a remote annunciator. The remote annunciators will not operate properly until the panel detects them. For more information see Chapter 3 “Programming.”

Installing the FSDACT

The FSDACT is a digital alarm communicator transmitter (DACT) that transmits panel events to a compatible digital alarm communicator receiver (DACR). Messages are transmitted over standard loop-start telephone lines. The dialer is capable of split reporting to two different account and telephone numbers.

In addition to the DACT functions, this module includes:

An alphanumeric LCD to display system messages and programming prompts

An event history log of panel and DACT events, viewable through compatible software

A modem for uploading and downloading panel configuration, history, and current status to a PC running compatible software

Note: The FSDACT modem is only rated for 2400 baud communication. Some PC modems may not be compatible with this baud rate.

The FSDACT can be programmed to operate as a single or dual line DACT/Modem/LCD display, a Modem/LCD display, or an LCD display only. For the FSDACT to be NFPA 72 CS compliant, the following is required:

1.The factory installed warning label must be removed from the FSDACT's line two phone jack.

2.A second phone line, independent of that used for line one must be connected to phone jack two.

3.The FSDACT must be programmed for dual line operation.

4.The FSDACT must be programmed for a daily transmission test frequency.

UL 864 compliance requires the dual line setting.

The FSDACT can be configured for attended or unattended downloading. JP1 is a wire loop (located near the top of the FSDACT) that controls which download method is used.

Leaving the JP1 wire loop intact configures the FSDACT for attended downloading. The panel will not allow changes to the panel or dialer configuration unless the program jumper is inserted. It will allow changes to receiver information (account code, telephone numbers, etc.). UL requires the red wire loop to be intact for all remote station systems.

Cutting the JP1 wire loop configures the FSDACT for unattended downloading. This means that the program jumper need not be inserted to accept any panel or dialer configuration changes.

NFPA 72 1999 edition states in 7-1.6.2.1 that reacceptance testing shall be performed after any change to site-specific software.

"All components, circuits, systems operations, or site-specific software functions known to be affected by the change or identified by a means that indicates the system operational

changes shall be 100 percent tested. In addition, 10 percent of initiating devices that are not directly affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, also shall be tested, and correct system operation shall be verified. A revised record of completion in accordance with 1-6.2.1 shall be prepared to reflect any changes.”

For additional download security, the FSDACT can be programmed to perform a call back function. This call back option applies whether the FSDACT is configured for attended or unattended downloading.

FCC Information

1.The dialer complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. The dialer’s FCC certification number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is displayed on the panel’s programming label and in this manual. This information must be provided to the telephone company if requested.

2.Two FCC compliant telephone cords with 8-pin modular plugs at both ends are supplied with the FSDACT. The dialer is designed to be connected to the telephone network using the supplied cord and an RJ31X or RJ38X jack, which must also comply with FCC Part 68 rules.

3.The REN is used to determine the maximum number of devices that may be connected to a single telephone circuit. All telephone devices are assigned a REN. The sum of the RENs for all connected devices may not exceed five. The maximum REN may vary in some areas. Contact the local telephone provider for more information.

4.If the dialer causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you an advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. If advance notice is not practical, the telephone company will notify you as soon as possible.

Installation

Connecting an RPM module

The Reverse Polarity Module (RPM) is an interface between FireShield and a reverse polarity receiver. It provides offpremises signal transmission for systems that must comply with NFPA requirements. When used as a reverse polarity remote station transmitter, it can be connected to either a single circuit (alarm or alarm and trouble) or up to three circuits (alarm, supervisory, and trouble).

Note: For detailed information and wiring, refer to the RPM installation sheet P/N 3100430.

Below are application diagrams for using the RPM.

Note: The RPM must be mounted in an MFC-A enclosure immediately adjacent to the panel and in conduit.

Connecting a CTM module

The CTM4.7 City Tie Module is an interface between the control panel notification appliance circuit and a master box. It provides off-premises signal transmission for systems that must comply with NFPA requirements for Auxiliary Protective Systems. The CTM4.7 activates a local energy fire alarm box, which provides a 24 Vdc alarm signal (current limited at 200 mA). The 4.7 Kend of line resistor required by the NAC is built in to the CTM4.7.

Requirements

When connecting a CTM to the panel, the following hardware and programming requirements must be met:

The NAC used must be dedicated to CTM use only

All alarm zones must be programmed to activate the dedicated NAC

The NAC used must not be programmed for Signal Silence

Specifications

Power: Nominal 24 Vdc @ 200 mA Municipal box operation: Nominal 24 Vdc Maximum wiring resistance: 25

Trip current: 200 mA into 14.5 coil Maximum current: 300 mA

Standby current: 20 mA Mounting: Single gang box Operating environment

Temperature: 32 to 120 °F (0 to 49 °C) Humidity: 93% RH, noncondensing

The following are wiring diagrams showing how the polarity switches during an alarm condition.
