I. INTRODUCTION

CONTROL UNIT LIMITATIONS

This control unit may not show an alarm condition without compatible initiating devices (smoke detectors, etc.) and notification devices (horn, lights, etc.) connected to it. Electrical ratings of the initiation and notification appliances must be compatible with the electrical ratings of the control unit and must be properly interconnected. The wiring used for interconnection must be large enough to carry the total current for all appliances without excessive voltage drop.

The control unit must be connected to a dedicated primary electrical source that has a high degree of reliability and adequate capacity for this control unit. The only means of disconnecting this power source shall be available only to authorized personnel and clearly marked "Fire Alarm Circuit Control".

The control unit must also have connected to it a battery set (24v) that has enough capacity to properly operate the system for 24 or 60 (depending on system type) hours standby and 5 minutes alarm per NFPA 72 (chapter 1). These batteries do lose capacity with age. Batteries must be replaced when they fail to provide the control unit with the required standby and alarm power or after 4 years, whichever happens first. These batteries must be checked for performance at least two (2) times a year or more often if local requirements dictate.

Fire alarm control units cannot last forever. Even though this control unit was made to last for the expected life of the fire alarm system, any part could fail at any time. Therefore a regular test program should be followed and documented to make sure that each part of the system is tested as in Chapter 7 of NFPA 72 or more often if dictated by local code requirements. Malfunctioning units must be replaced or repaired immediately by factory authorized service personnel.

NOTE: This control unit is designed to show an alarm condition when the initiating devices connected to it detect specific conditions. These conditions may or may not represent a life-threatening condition. Also, evacuation of a building or area unnecessarily may subject individuals to an unnecessary hazard. Therefore, it is most important that the building owner, manager, or representative promulgate, distribute, and/or post instructions describing steps to be taken when the fire alarm control unit signals an alarm condition. These instructions should be developed in cooperation and conformance with representatives of the local authority having jurisdiction.

As a backup or precautionary measure, it is strongly suggested that one of these steps should be to notify the local fire department of an abnormal condition even where the DACT option (or similar device) is included in the system.

II. DESCRIPTIONS

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The 12530/12540 is an advanced modular fire alarm control unit. It features addressable/analog detection, programming, and memory capability. Its base configuration includes two addressable device circuits, with four conve ntional notification appliance circuits.

The 12530 control unit mounts in a 24" x 14-3/8" back-box with overall cover size of 24-9/16" x 14-3/4". The 12540 control unit mounts in a 35-11/16" x 14-3/8" back-box with overall cover size of 35-31/32" x 14-3/4". Operating controls and indicators are mounted on the plate with a polycarbonate decal for identification. An 80-character LCD display provides specific indications for addressable devices while LEDs indicate general panel status.

Semi-flush mounting kits are available for the enclosure.

HARDWARE CONFIGURATION

The main termination board mounts in the rear of the enclosure. The power supply is physically contiguous with the main board. The 12530/12540 main termination board provides the interface for external analog system connections, for the addressable device circuit, four notification appliance circuits, remote signaling and indicating interfaces, and the electronics of the main system power supply. Optional boards mount on or plug into the main termination board.

The main logic board mounts on the front plate, allowing it to carry the controls and displays which must be accessible.

All normal operation is controlled from the front of the control unit via push-button switches. Displays are provided by an 80-character, alphanumeric, backlit LCD display and by discrete LED indicators for major control unit functions.

The 80-character LCD display is used to display event data, including alarms and troubles, identification of zone or device, and presentation of history. The display is controlled by a set of four push-button switches commanding the control processor. A back light is included in the display to assure visibility in low light, but to conserve power, it is only activated during a reported event or on operation of a display control switch.

Individual LEDs on the panel are provided to indicate SYSTEM ALARM, PREALARM, SUPERVISORY, ALARM SILENCED, SYSTEM TROUBLE and AC POWER ON. Direct push-button controls are provided for ALARM SILENCE, TROUBLE SILENCE/ACKNOWLEDGE, MENU and SYSTEM RESET. These switches require concurrent use of the security keyswitch.

12530/12540 OWNER'S MANUAL

ADDRESSABLE DEVICES

Faraday Addressable Detectors

The control unit processor sends the sensitivity and pre-alarm settings to the detectors and polls the detectors as to their status. The detector determines normal, trouble, pre-alarm or alarm conditions and relays the status to the control unit.

Variable Thresholds

The obscuration level for alarm can be adjusted from the control unit on a permanent or time-variable basis. This facility also means that the control unit can display information on individual points for maintenance or service.

Operator Alerts

The control unit can trigger an alarm or trouble automatically on the occurrence of a number of conditions of the detector. These include:

• Maintenance alert

• Pre-alarm alert

• No response

• Incorrect response

Other Faraday Addressable Devices

Heat Detectors

Addressable heat sensing detectors may be intermixed on the circuit for locations where heat sensing may be the most effective detection mode. The heat detectors may be programmed, through the control unit, for rate of rise operation.

Addressable Modules (Monitor and Control)

In addition to detectors, the circuit can communicate with addressable modules, allowing initiating devices or notification appliances with local power sources, and supervising the power sources.

Manual Stations

Addressable manual stations may be intermixed on the circuit with proper response programmed into the control unit.

System Sensor Addressable/Analog Sensors

Since an analog fire sensor is essentially a transducer rather than a warning device, all of the operating controls are included in the control unit processor program. The control unit interprets the pulse widths from the sensor and determines normal, trouble or alarm conditions.

Other System Sensor Addressable Devices

Heat Sensors

Compatible heat sensing addressable devices may be intermixed on the circuit for locations where heat sensing may be the most effective detection mode.

Addressable Modules (Monitor and Control)

In addition to sensors, the circuit can communicate with addressable modules, allowing initiating devices or notification appliances with local power sources, and supervising the power sources.

Manual Stations

Single and dual-stage manual stations with monitor modules may be intermixed on the circuit with proper response programmed into the control unit. For fastest response, manual stations should be connected so that their address is 1-9.

PROCESSOR CONTROLLED OUTPUT ZONES

While the notification appliance circuits are essentially hardware circuits, the fact that the outputs are commanded and controlled by the processor does provide more versatility than in a total hardware system. All functional selections are included in the control unit programming process.

Output Sounding Patterns

The notification appliance circuits are operable in different sounding patterns. Any circuit is selectable to any of eight software-generated patterns or continuous sounding. For convenience, three of the patterns are preprogrammed for March Time, Temporal, and Californian patterns.

Control of Audible Silencing

It is possible to select an “auto-silence” mode, adjustable from 0 to 255 minutes. Each notification appliance circuit programmed for alarm silence sequence, will be silenced upon time-out of the autosilence timer. The alarm silenced LED will flash, indicating the auto-silence time-out.

Audible Silence Inhibit

In addition to designation of waterflow zones, the entire control unit may be programmed to inhibit audible silence for 0, 1, 3, or 6 minutes from the last alarm. System reset may also be inhibited.

GENERAL DESIGN FEATURES

Environmental

All hardware is suitable for use in an interior or protected location.

Power Limiting

The city tie circuitry is not power limited when programmed for Local Energy or Shunt operation. The AC power and battery wiring are not power limited. All other circuits leaving the control unit are power limited, provided the proper installation rules are maintained.

Ground Fault Detection

The control unit provides ground fault detection and a ground fault will trigger the common fault buzzer and system trouble LED. There are separate LEDs on the main termination board to indicate positive and negative ground faults.

Transient Protection

Transient protection devices are provided where needed to meet the requirements of UL864.

Security Functions

Processor control and addressing allow inclusion of several functions to assure security of the system. Multi-level password protection of programming functions prevents unauthorized configuration changes. Device type supervision: If the type reported by an addressable sensor or module, does not agree with

the configuration, the system reports a trouble. Device address supervision: The system checks that all configured devices on the addressable device

circuit responds to an address poll. If a configured device is missing, the system reports a trouble. The system also polls unused addresses periodically. If a device responds to such a poll of a non-configured device, the system reports a trouble. Two devices addressed the same also cause a trouble to be reported.

The RS485 devices also are checked for no response and un-programmed address responses.

REGULATORY STANDARDS

The 12530/12540 control unit meets the requirements of industry and government regulatory agencies as noted.

Underwriters Laboratories

III. CONTROL UNIT OPERATION

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

A. Standby Condition

In normal standby operation, the green AC POWER ON LED should be illuminated and no other indicator operating. The display will show the system name, “System Normal” announcement and the current date, day, and time.

B. Alarm Condition

1) Normal Alarms

a) In case of alarm, the system alarm LED will operate in a flashing mode and the buzzer will sound.

Local audible and visual signals and remote alarm signals will operate, and the LCD panel display will indicate the zone or point initiating the alarm.

b) On receipt of an alarm, proceed in accordance with the established emergency plan. Assure that all

personnel are accounted for, and notify the Fire Department.

c) To silence the audible after eva cuation, where permitted by the codes and control unit programming,

press ALARM SILENCE. The alarm audible will be silenced, the alarm silence LED will be illuminated and a system trouble indicated. Operating the ACKNOWLEDGE button will silence the local buzzer and change the LED alarm indicator from flashing to steady.

2) Waterflow Alarms

Alarms detected on zones designated “waterflow” indicate sprinkler operation and the audible alarms cannot be silenced in this condition. Operation of alarm silence will produce no effect.

3) Positive Alarm Sequence (PAS)

a) Activation of a point programmed for PAS, including two-stage manual stations, activates the Alarm

LED, display and buzzer (pulsing), but delays all other outputs (system and user) for 15 seconds.

b) Operation of the ACKNOWLEDGE button within 15 seconds will add 165 seconds to the timer value,

to make the total delay 180 seconds.

c) If an ALARM SILENCE button is pressed or the sensor returns to a normal reading before the

extended PAS delay time, the alarm sequence is aborted.

d) An alarm condition on a sensor programmed for direct alarm response (such as the key switch on a

manual station) will over-ride the PAS timer and activate the outputs.

4) Pre-Signal

a) A point activated by a PRE -SIGNAL alarm activates the alarm relay, alarm DACT, alarm LEDs and

buzzers, and all user programmed outputs normally, but does not activate any NACs.

b) Operation of the ALARM SILENCE button less than 180 seconds after initiation of the alarm prevents

operation of the NACs. c) Failure to act within 180 seconds will result in activation of the NACs. d) Receipt of another pre-signal or standard alarm during the delay period immediately sounds the

NACs. e) A SYSTEM RESET is required to return the zone and input point to normal, whether or not the NACs

were activated. NOTE: Do not reset the system until the alarm condition has been cleared. The LCD display on the will indicate the area in which the alarm was detected. The detector initiating the alarm will display a light. If more than one zone is in alarm, the last zone to be alarmed will be indicated on the display.

P/N 447203 Issue I III-1

Page 23

12530/12540 OWNER'S MANUAL

f) When the alarm condition has been corrected, return the system to standby operation by pressing the

SYSTEM RESET button.

C. Trouble Condition

a) In case of a trouble condition, the system trouble LED and any programmed trouble LEDs will be

flashing, the LCD display will identify the problem, and the buzzer will sound. Refer to the applicable

section of the system manual to determine the probable cause of the trouble and the action to be

taken. b) When a trouble has been noted, the buzzer may be silenced by pressing the ACKNOWLEDGE

button. The trouble LEDs will change to a continuous display. If the trouble has not been corrected

when the trouble re-ring timer expires, the trouble display will revert to its original condition and the

buzzer resound. c) If the control unit is programmed for trouble acknowledge required, when the indicated trouble

condition has been cleared, the system will revert to standby condition after the ACK NOWLEDGE

button is pressed. Note: Some trouble conditions require a system reset to restore the control unit.

D. Supervisory Condition

Supervisory troubles are indicated similar to regular system troubles except that when a supervisory trouble is cleared, the cleared condition continues to be indicated until it is acknowledged.

E. Maintenance

In order to insure continued safe and reliable operation of the fire alarm system, periodic inspection and testing should be performed in accordance with applicable NFPA 72 standards.

CAUTION: If the system has remote connections to the Fire Department or other monitor, be sure to disable the remote signals and/or notify the remote monitoring station before performing test operations.

For any required service, refer to the system manual or contact a factory authorized representative.
