1.4 TERMS USED IN THIS MANUAL
The following are various terms used in this manual with a brief description of each.
- Symbol for “ohm”. Unit of resistance.
Abort State – (“Abort” Yellow LED ON, Piezo pulsing). The Abort occurs when an input circuit configured for abort
operation has been activated while an alarm condition is present. The abort state is a non-latching event and is intended
for preventing a suppression zone from advancing to the release state.
AC Normal State - (“AC Normal” Green LED ON). The system is in the AC Normal state when appropriate AC power is
being applied to the system.
Alarm State - (“Alarm” Red LED ON, Piezo pulsing). The alarm occurs when an input circuit configured for alarm
operation has been activated. Activation typically initiated by a detector or contact device. The alarm state is a latching
event in the Cheetah Xi. The operator will be required to RESET the Cheetah Xi in order for the panel to exit/clear the
alarm state.
Class A Wiring – Initiating device circuit or notification appliance circuit that provides a redundant path and is capable of
transmitting an alarm signal past a single open. Conditions that affect the intended operation of the circuit are
annunciated.
Class X Wiring – Initiating device circuit or notification appliance circuit that provides a redundant path and is capable of
transmitting an alarm signal past a single open or short-circuit. Conditions that affect the intended operation of the circuit
are annunciated.
Class B Wiring – Initiating device circuit or notification appliance circuit that does not include a redundant path and where
operational capability stops at a single open. Condition that affect the intended operation of the circuit are annunciated.
Initiating Device - A system component that originates transmission of a change-of-state condition, suc h as in a smok e
detector, manual fire alarm box, or supervisory switch. This manual interchanges the terms initiating device and input
device.
Initiating Device Circuit A circuit to which automatic or manual initiating devices are connected where the signal
received does not identify the individual device operated. This manual interchanges the terms initiating device circuit and
input circuit.
Normal State - (“Trouble” Yellow LED OFF). The system is in the normal state when the power supply and all circuits are
configured properly, connected, and responding properly. The system remains in normal state until a trouble condition
occurs.
Notification Appliance - A fire alarm system component such as a bell, horn, speaker, light, or textual display that
provides audible, tactile, or visible output, or any combination thereof. The device notifies building occupants of system
status. This manual interchanges the terms notification and audible applian ce.
Notification Appliance Circuit - A circuit or path directly connected to a notification appliance(s). This manual
interchanges the terms notification appliance circuit and audible circuit.
Non-power-Limited - A circuit designation given for wiring purposes. The amount of current flowing through the circuit is
unlimited vs. being limited, or power-limited. AC power and Battery wiring is non-power-limited.
Power-Limited - A circuit designation given for wiring purposes. The amount of current flowing through the circuit is
limited (typically by fuse) vs. being unlimited, or non-power-limited. The Cheetah Xi addressable loops and output circuits
are power-limited. The circuit has a maximum power that flows through it or it current limits and opens the circuit.
Pre-Discharge State – (“Pre-Discharge” Red LED ON, Piezo pulsing). Pre-Discharge occurs when an input circuit
configured for alarm operation has been activated and the Suppression Pre-Discharge type is satisfied. The PreDischarge state is a latching event in the Cheetah Xi 50. The operator will be required to RESET the panel in order for
the panel to exit/clear the release state.
Release State – (“Release” Red LED ON, Piezo pulsing). Release occurs when an input circuit configured for manual
release operation has been activated or the Pre-Discharge automatic countdown has expired with no Abort input active.
The release state is a latching event and will follow the status of the supervisory input contact.
Supervisory State - (“Supervisory” Yellow LED ON, Piezo Warble). The supervisory state occurs upon activation of a
supervisory input circuit. The supervi sory state is non-latching and will follow the status of the supervisory input contact.
Trouble State - (“Trouble” Yellow LED ON, Piezo Constant). The trouble state occurs upon any detectable condition
which could impair system operation including connection problems, ground faults, hardware problems, power problems,
or configuration problems. Certain trouble conditions are latching; others allow the system to reset upon trouble condition
removal. Depending upon the type of trouble condition, the system may or may not remain operational. When the system
is in trouble state, it is not in the normal state.

3.9 ADDRESSABLE MODULES
The Cheetah Xi 50 system uses intelligent input and output modules to provide an interface between the
control panel and conven tional notific ation and initiat ing devices. T he operating parameters for each module
are downloaded to the de vice during system configuration into no nvolatile memory. When an input device
(detector or inp ut module) determines that action should be tak en, it transmits a message over the panel’s
SLC loop. Output devices receive this message and us e their downloaded parameter s to determine if they
should take action. Each module is provided with a tricolor LED to ind icate instant device status (green =
normal; yellow=trouble; red = active).
The modules are connecte d to and receive the ir operating power (15-30VDC ) from the host contr ol panel via
the panel’s signaling line circuit (SLC) . The SLC loop is capab le of supporti ng up to 50 addressable device s
in any combination of dete ctors and modules. Each addressable device is assi gned a unique SLC address
that allows it to be identified not only by the system controller for device supervision, but by other SLC devices
as well to facilitate peer to peer system operation. A brief description of each addres sable module and its
features is provided in this section for reference purposes.

4.0 INSTALLATION
4.6 CIRCUIT CLASS DESIGNATIONS
The circuits on the Cheetah Xi 50 controller and its field devices can be configured for Class B (two wire) or
Class A or X (four wire) operation. Class B wiring does not include a redundant path and the operational
capability stops at a single open. Class A wiring includes a redundant path and the operational capability
continues past a single open. When Class A wiring is utilized, no t-tapping is allowed and the return leg from
the last device on the circuit back to the panel or device must be run in a separate conduit from the main leg.
With Class A wiring, the control panel is constantly supervising all wiring (both main and redundant). Once an
open fault is detected on either leg, the panel immediately transfers communication to the intact redundant leg
of the Class A wiring. Class X wiring is the same as Class A wiring, but requires the use of isolator devices in
order to provide operational capabilities past a single open or short-circuit.
4.7 PULL FIELD WIRING INTO THE ENCLOSURE
The Cheetah Xi 50 system wiring is classified as either power-limited or non-power-limited per NEC article
760. All power-limited wiring must be separated from all non-power-limited wiring by a minimum distance of
1/4 inch (6 mm) within the system enclosure. The Cheetah Xi 50 power-limited versus non-power-limited
circuits are designated a s follows:
Power-Limited circuits include:
P2 – Relays (Alarm, Supervisory, Trouble)
P3 – Computer Interface Connectio n
P4 – VESDA HLI Interface
P5 – Not Used
P6 – RS-485 Peripheral Buss, DACT, AUX Power
P7 – Signaling Line Circuit
P8 & P9 – Notification Appliance Circuits ( 1 & 2)
1
Connected to power-limited or nonpower-limited field wiring, but not
both.
2
When the optional DACT module is installed, the incoming phone
lines (power-limited) must be separated from any nonpower-limited
P2 relay connections.
1,2
Nonpower-limited circuits include:
P1 – AC Power Supply Input and Battery Input
P2 – Relays (Alarm, Supervisory, Trouble)
1,2
When installing optional components within the Cheetah Xi 50 enclosure, refer to the installation instructions
supplied with each component for designation of power-limited versus non-power-limited circuits. Route all
field wiring through the appropriate conduit knockouts, then to the appropriate circuit terminals. Provide
adequate wire length to allow strain relief .
4.8 VERIFY FIELD WIRING
The integrity of the field wiring shall be tested before installing field devices or landing the field wiring to the
system controller. With the end of each circuit open, the following tests shall be conducted:
1. Verify absence of ground-fault on any field wiring prior to connecting the circuits. Refer to
specifications for acceptable readings.
2. Verify no stray voltages exist on any field wiring prior to device installation.
3. Verify each conductor is free from shorts between all other conductors and chas sis.
4. Measure wire resistance with a short across the circuit at a point furthest from circuit start. This is
typically across EOL for Class B and at the panel for Class A or Class X.
Field devices must not be connected if using a meggar or any
means that applies voltages in excess of device ratings to
prevent damage to the devices.

4.13.6 ADDRESSABLE LOOP WIRING (P7)
Communication between the control panel and each intelligent, addressable device takes place through the
Signaling Line Circuit (SLC). The SLC is supervised and power-limited. The SLC loop can be wired to meet
the requirements of NFPA Class B, Class A, o r Class X circuits (See Exhibit 4-18 and 4-19). For details on
how to wire each addressable device to the SLC loop, refer to the installation instructions supplied with each
device.
Be aware of surrounding environment when installing the addressable loop, looking for possible sources of
electrical interference. All SLC wiring should be segregated from such sources for optimum operation.
Conduit and shielded cable help prevent electrical interferences from being induced. Shielded wire is not
required, but if used install the outgoing drain wire at the panel. Connect it through and insulate at each
junction box and leave unconnected and insulated at the last device.
FM Approved Deluge and Pre-action Sprinkler operation requires that initiating device circuits be
Class A and wired to FM Listed/Approved devices.
I Caution
If using a High voltage device to verify ground isolation of
loop wiring, do not expose devices or modules to the high
voltage. Damage to the devices will occur.
4.13.6.1 CLASS B WIRING
Exhibit 4-18 shows the typical wiring of a supervised and power-limited two-wire SLC that meets NFPA 72,
Class B requirements. This wiring method does not include a redundant pach. In the event of a single wire
break, the communication to devices after the break is lost. This wiring method will support t-tapping
(Detector #3 is T-Tapped off Detector #2).

A or Class X requirements. This wiring method includes a redundant path. In the event of a single wire
break, the communication to devices after the break continues. This wiring method will not support t-tapping
4.13.6.3 CLASS X WIRING
Class X wiring is the same as Class A wiring except that it utilizes isolator devices to provide short-circuit
protection for the signaling line circuit (SLC). The circuitry built-into the isolator devices allow communication
to devices to continue past a single short-circuit. Short circuit protection can be provided for the entire
signaling line circuit or for selected sections of the signaling line circuit. Isolator devices can be installed to
electrically isolate a zone of detectors and/or modules from the remainder of the loop by installing an isolator
type device at the point where the SLC enters and leaves the zone. A maximum of 50 devices can be
installed between two isolator type devices.
Note: If using isolator bases, the loop + is separated between terminal 1 (in) and terminal 2 (out).
4.13.6.4 REMOTE LED WIRING
The detector base has the ability to
attach a remote LED as shown in
Exhibit 4-20. Power for operation of
the LED is drawn from the control
panel’s addressable loop. The
addressable loop is limited to a
maximum of 100 mA total for
addressable devices plus remote LED
devices.
