Fire Alarm System Limitations

While a fire alarm system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for fire insurance!

An automatic fire alarm system–typically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control panel with remote notification capability–can provide early warning of a developing fire. Such a system, however, does not assure protection against property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire.

The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detectors be located throughout a protected premise following the recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire Protection Association Standard 72 (NFPA 72), manufacturer's recommendations, State and local codes, and the recommendations contained in the Guide for Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no charge to all installing dealers. A study by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (an agency of the United States government) indicated that smoke detectors may not go off in as many as 35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are designed to provide early warning against fire, they do not guarantee warning or protection against fire. A fire alarm system may not provide timely or adequate warning, or simply may not function, for a variety of reasons:

Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in or behind walls, on roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level or floor of a building. A second-floor detector, for example, may not sense a first-floor or basement fire.

Particles of combustion or "smoke" from a developing fire may not reach the sensing chambers of smoke detectors because:

• Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, or chimneys may inhibit particle or smoke flow.

• Smoke particles may become "cold," stratify, and not reach the ceiling or upper walls where detectors are located.

• Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by air outlets.

• Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before reaching the detector.

The amount of "smoke" present may be insufficient to alarm smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are designed to alarm at various levels of smoke density. If such density levels are not created by a developing fire at the location of detectors, the detectors will not go into alarm.

Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have sensing limitations. Detectors that have photoelectronic sensing chambers tend to detect smoldering fires better than flaming fires, which have little visible smoke. Detectors that have ionizing-type sensing chambers tend to detect fast-flaming fires better than smoldering fires. Because fires develop in different ways and are often unpredictable in their growth, neither type of detector is necessarily best and a given type of detector may not provide adequate warning of a fire.

Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate warning of fires caused by arson, children playing with matches (especially in bedrooms), smoking in bed, and violent explosions (caused by escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, etc.).

Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and alarm only when heat on their sensors increases at a predetermined rate or reaches a predetermined level. Rate-of-rise heat detectors may be subject to reduced sensitivity over time. For this reason, the rate-of-rise feature of each detector should be tested at least once per year by a qualified fire protection specialist. Heat detectors are designed to protect

property, not life.

IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in the same room as the control panel and in rooms used by the system for the connection of alarm transmission wiring, communications, signaling, and/or power. If detectors are not so

located, a developing fire may damage the alarm system, crippling its ability to report a fire.

Audible warning devices such as bells may not alert people if these devices are located on the other side of closed or partly open doors or are located on another floor of a building. Any warning device may fail to alert people with a disability or those who have recently consumed drugs, alcohol or medication. Please note that:

• Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures in people with conditions such as epilepsy.

• Studies have shown that certain people, even when they hear a fire alarm signal, do not respond or comprehend the meaning of the signal. It is the property owner's responsibility to conduct fire drills and other training exercise to make people aware of fire alarm signals and instruct them on the proper reaction to alarm signals.

• In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.

A fire alarm system will not operate without any electrical power. If AC power fails, the system will operate from standby batteries only for a specified time and only if the batteries have been properly maintained and replaced regularly.

Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible with the control. It is essential to use only equipment listed for service with your control panel.

Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premise to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily disabled. For added protection against telephone line failure, backup radio transmission systems are recommended.

The most common cause of fire alarm malfunction is inadequate maintenance. To keep the entire fire alarm system in excellent working order, ongoing maintenance is required per the manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA standards. At a minimum, the requirements of NFPA 72 shall be followed. Environments with large amounts of dust, dirt or high air velocity require more frequent maintenance. A maintenance agreement should be arranged through the local manufacturer's representative. Maintenance should be scheduled monthly or as required by National and/or local fire codes and should be performed by authorized professional fire alarm installers only. Adequate written records of all inspections should be kept.

Installation Precautions

Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:

WARNING - Several different sources of power can be con- nected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all sources

of power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to install, service, or operate this unit until this manual is read and understood.

CAUTION - System Reacceptance Test after Software Changes. To ensure proper system operation, this product

must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 after any programming operation or change in site-specific software. Reacceptance testing is required after any change, addition or deletion of system components, or after any modification, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring.

All components, circuits, system operations, or software functions known to be affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addition, to ensure that other operations are not inadvertently affected, at least 10% of initiating devices that are not directly affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must also be tested and proper system operation verified.

This system meets NFPA requirements for indoor dry operation at 0-49° C/32-120° F RH (non-condensing) at 32 ±2° C/90 ±3° F. However, the useful life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic components may be adversely affected by extreme temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that this system and all peripherals be installed in an environment with a nominal room temperature of 15-27° C/60-80° F.

Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indicating device loops. Refer to manual Specifications section for maximum allowable I.R. drop from the specified device voltage.

and at a relative humidity of 93 ±2%

Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may operate erratically or can be damaged when subjected to lightning-induced transients. Although no system is completely immune from lightning transients and interferences, proper grounding will reduce susceptibility. Overhead or out-

side aerial wiring is not recommended, due to an increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the

Technical Services Department if any problems are anticipated or encountered.

Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or inserting circuit boards. Failure to do so can damage circuits.

Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling, filing, reaming, or punching of the enclosure. When possible, make all cable entries from the sides or rear. Before making modifications, verify that they will not interfere with battery, transformer, and printed circuit board location.

Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal.

This system contains static-sensitive components.

Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling any circuits so that static charges are removed from the body. Use static-suppressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies removed from the unit.

Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and programming manuals. These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to the control panel and associated equipment. FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper installation by authorized personnel.

Operational Modes

1.7 Operational Modes

1.7.1 Normal Mode

Normal Mode is the standard mode of operation in which the 411UD digital communicator monitors the host control panel status as well as telephone line voltage and other internal circuits. In addition to locally annunciating system trouble, active channel and communication fail, the digital communicator transmits system status information to UL listed central station receivers. Transmitted data includes fire alarm, fire alarm trouble, supervisory alarm and AC loss information. Specific digital communicator troubles are also transmitted.

1.7.2 Real Time Clock Mode

Real Time Clock Mode allows the user to change the digital communicator’s internal 24 hour clock. Connecting an external Programmer allows access to the various Modes of operation. While the communicator is in Real Time Clock Mode, it does not monitor channel inputs.

1.7.3 Program Mode

Program Mode is used to change the programmed functions of the 411UD digital communicator. While the communicator is in Program Mode, it does not monitor channel inputs.

1.7.4 Troubleshoot Mode

Troubleshoot Mode may be used for testing the telephone line interconnect wiring. Connection from the 411UD’s modular jacks, through the RJ31X jacks and into the telephone network may be easily checked. In this mode, the Programmer keypad acts similar to a telephone touchpad. While the communicator is in Troubleshoot Mode, it does not monitor channel inputs.

1.7.5 Default Mode

Default Mode may be used to return all 411UD programming back to the factory default settings.

2.2 Operating Power

CAUTION: Disconnect all power before servicing the 411UD. The digital communicator may be damaged by

removing and/or inserting components or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized.

12VDC or 24VDC nominal power connections are made to TB1 on the 411UD circuit board. When jumper J4 is installed, the 11.2 to 12.4 VDC nominal operating voltage (UL tested range: -15%, +10%) for the digital communicator must be power-limited, filtered, nonresettable. This 12 VDC nominal operating power can be supplied directly to the 411UD by a UL listed 12 VDC power supply listed for fire protection or by a nonresettable 12 VDC output from a control panel. Alternatively, removing J4 Jumper on the digital communicator circuit board allows the 411UD to be supplied by a power-limited, nonresettable 21.3 to 24.0 VDC (UL tested range: -15%, +10%). This 24 VDC nominal operating power can be supplied by a UL listed 24 VDC power supply, which, in order to comply with UL 864 must be listed for Fire Protective Signaling Systems or by a nonresettable 24 VDC output from a control panel. This nominal 24 VDC power is then internally regulated by the digital communicator to 12 VDC operating power.

Note that upon power-up, the 411UD will immediately annunciate a DACT trouble since the communicator is factory defaulted to 'communicator disabled' at program location 64.

2.3 Input Channels

The 411UD digital communicator has four channel inputs. Each channel is supervised for opens (trouble) and shorts (alarm) by the digital communicator. Each channel is a Style B (Class B) Initiating Device Circuit designed to accept any normally-open contact device. Since channels do not latch, a reset switch is not provided by the 411UD. The communicator transmissions to a central station track the state of the inputs. Refer to Figure 2-3, “Style B Channel Connections,” on page 17 for information on wiring Style B circuits.

Addressable FACP

Each input channel monitors a normally open device and may be programmed as follows:

• fire alarm

• host control panel trouble

• fire supervisory

•AC Loss

Programming the input channel automatically programs the transmitted event code, however, the event code can be changed since it is fully programmable. Event code transmissions can be tailored to the specific application and requirements of the Central Station.

AC Loss Reporting:

Channel 4, which is defaulted to AC Loss, will transmit a specific AC loss signal only if the assigned Normally Open contact provides this function. Some panels provide an option that will automatically delay the trigger of their system trouble relays upon loss of AC. If this is provided by the host panel, use Channel 2. Be certain to verify the method employed by the host panel to be monitored.

The factory default programming for each channel is as follows:

 Channel 1 - fire alarm  Channel 2 - host control panel trouble  Channel 3 - fire supervisory  Channel 4 - AC Loss

UL Power-limited Wiring Requirements

2.7 UL Power-limited Wiring Requirements

The four 411UD input channels are power-limited circuits. Power supplied to the 411UD must be power-limited 12 or 24 volts, filtered and nonresettable. The two Relay circuits must be connected to power-limited circuits. Do not

connect nonpower-limited wiring to any circuits on the 411UD.

411UD Document #50759 Rev. D 11/07/2005 P/N 50759:D

Modes of Operation

CHAPTER 3 Modes of Operation

The 411UD digital communicator has five operational modes:

• Normal Mode

• Real Time Clock Mode

• Program Mode

• Troubleshoot Mode

• Default Mode

The operational mode for the digital communicator is Normal Mode. The operator is able to switch between any modes of operation provided no alarm events are active in the system. It should be noted that the digital communicator will not respond to input activations while in any mode except Normal Mode.

Access to any other Mode requires connection of the PRO-411 DACT Programmer which consists of a keypad and display. Refer to Figure 3-1, “Programmer Keypad,” on page 22:

3.1 Normal Mode

Normal Mode is the standard (default) mode of operation for the 411UD digital communicator. The communicator continuously monitors and reports to a central station, the status of the four input channels as well as the status of the digital communicator itself. If no activity is detected on the four input channels (no shorts or opens) and the communicator is operating free of internal troubles, the digital communicator will display the following conditions:

 All LEDs are off  Onboard piezo sounder is off  The relay is in its normal deactivated state  Communicator is not transmitting to the Central Station

The 411UD digital communicator transmits system status reports to a central station via the public switched telephone network. Two supervised telephone line connections are made to interface the digital communicator to the telephone lines. Both telephone lines are supervised by the 411UD for proper voltage.

The 411UD is capable of line seizure on both the primary and secondary telephone line interfaces. Any time the digi-

tal communicator detects the necessity to call the Central Station, line seizure will disconnect any local premises phones sharing the same telephone line. Sharing of phone lines, for fire systems, must be approved by the Local Authority Having Jurisdiction. All transmissions to the Central Station will be sent over the Primary phone line. In

the event of a noisy or faulty phone line, transmissions will be sent over the backup Secondary phone line.

Transmission options exist to:

• send reports to the secondary phone number as backup only

• send reports to both the primary and secondary phone numbers

• send reports to the first available central station phone number

If 10 total attempts to communicate are unsuccessful, the digital communicator will turn on the Communication Fail LED.

The 411UD meets NFPA 72 requirements for Remote Station Protective Signaling Service and Central Station Signaling Service reporting requirements for: (a) the type of signal, (b) condition and (c) location of the reporting premises. See “Central Station Communications” on page 40, for additional information.
