Power: On when the panel has AC power.

Alarm: On steady (latched) when there is an active alarm event
on the IDC.

Trouble: On when there is a fault with a monitored circuit or
system component, or when a circuit is disabled.

Battery Trouble: Flashes for charger or low battery trouble.
Steady means placement trouble. Also places the panel in the
trouble state.

Signal Silenced: On steady indicates that the NAC circuit is
turned off (silenced) but the panel is still in alarm.

Ground Fault: On steady during an active ground fault. (Also
places the panel in the trouble state.)

Alarm Relay Disable: On when there is a disabled circuit. (Also
places the panel in the trouble state.)

Reset: Resets the panel.

Signal Silence and Drill

Alarm mode: Silences active notification appliances.
Pressing Signal Silence a second time unsilences the
NAC. The Signal Silenced LED indicates when the panel
is in alarm and operating with notification appliances
silenced. Visible appliances may or may not turn off when
Signal Silence is pressed depending on JP1/JP2 settings.

Normal mode: Activates the drill function. Turns
notification appliances on according to JP1/JP2 settings
but does not place the panel in alarm or activate the alarm
relay. Pressing Drill a second time turns off the drill
function.

Panel Silence: Silences the panel sounder during an active
trouble or alarm event.

Alarm Relay Disable: Deactivates the alarm relay and prevents
it from activating in a future alarm event. Pressing Alarm Relay
Disable places the panel in the trouble state.

Lamp test

Panel Silence and Alarm Relay Disable: Press the Panel
Silence and Alarm Relay Disable buttons simultaneously to do
a panel lamp test. This lets you verify proper operation of the
LEDs.

Installation checklist

 Prepare the site: Make sure the installation location is

free from construction dust and debris and extreme
temperature ranges and humidity.

 Unpack the equipment

 Install the cabinet: See “Installing the cabinet.”

 Remove the metal terminal shield: Remove and save

the four screws that hold the terminal shield in place.

 Set the panel jumpers: See "Jumper setup."

 Review wire routing: See "Wire routing."

 Connect the field wiring: See "Wiring diagrams" or the

panel label. Meter for opens, grounds, and shorts before
connecting.

 Connect AC power and ground: See "Wiring diagrams"

or the panel label. The panel can not be started on
batteries only.

WARNING: Make sure that the AC power circuit breaker
is off before connecting wires to the terminal block.

 Connect batteries: See "Wiring diagrams" or the panel

label.

 Install the metal terminal shield: Be careful to align the

terminal shield correctly over the LEDs and buttons. Use
the four screws that you removed earlier.

 Test for proper operation: See "Operating the panel."

Installing the cabinet

)

Cabinets can be surfaced mounted. See the figure and table
below for framing and mounting dimensions.

To surface mount the cabinet:

1. Position the cabinet on the finished wall surface.

2. Fasten the cabinet to the wall surface where indicated.

strobe synchronization per UL 1971. Both horns and strobes
will silence when alarm silence is activated.

Genesis (with horn silence): Used with Genesis and Enhanced
Integrity horns and strobes. Genesis and Enhanced Integrity
appliances maintain synchronization per UL 1971. For Genesis
devices, this allows connected horns to be silenced while
strobes on the same 2-wire circuit continue to flash until the
panel is reset. For Enhanced Integrity devices, both horns and
strobes will remain activated until the panel is reset.

JP3: Aux power reset

Description: Causes a temporary interruption of aux power
when Reset is pressed. This is so that four-wire smoke
detectors can be reset. If this is not set, pressing Reset has no
effect on the aux power output.

Default: No aux reset, with no jumper installed.

Verify alarm: For circuits with smoke detectors and contact
devices. 2-wire smoke detector activations are verified
(delayed and confirmed) before activating an alarm. 4-wire
smoke detectors and contact devices are not verified and
immediately considered as alarms. A circuit can not be
restored until devices are restored to normal and the panel is
reset. See the FireShield Single Zone ULI and ULC
compatibility lists (P/N 3100592) for restrictions.

No alarm verification: For circuits with smoke detectors and
contact devices. All activations are immediately considered as
alarms. A circuit cannot be restored until devices are restored
to normal and the panel is reset.

Temporal: Universal 3-3-3 pattern required for evacuation
signals by NFPA 72. Used when notification appliances are not
capable of self-generating a temporal pattern.

Genesis: Used with Genesis and Enhanced Integrity horns and
strobes. Genesis and Enhanced Integrity appliances maintain
