Fire Alarm & Emergency Communication System Limitations
While a life safety system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for life and property 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 (FACP) 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.
An emergency communication system—typically made up of
an automatic fire alarm system (as described above) and a life
safety communication system that may include an autonomous
control unit (ACU), local operating console (LOC), voice communication, and other various interoperable communication methods—can broadcast a mass notification message. Such a
system, however, does not assure protection against property
damage or loss of life resulting from a fire or life safety event.
The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat
detectors be located throughout a protected premises following
the recommendations 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. This
document can be found at http://www.systemsensor.com/
appguides/. 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, chimneys, even wet or humid areas 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, such as air conditioning vents.
• 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, compromising its ability to report a fire.
Audible warning devices such as bells, horns, strobes,
speakers and displays 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:
• An emergency communication system may take priority over
a fire alarm system in the event of a life safety emergency.
• Voice messaging systems must be designed to meet intelligibility requirements as defined by NFPA, local codes, and
Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
• Language and instructional requirements must be clearly disseminated on any local displays.
• 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 to or comprehend the
meaning of the signal. Audible devices, such as horns and
bells, can have different tonal patterns and frequencies. It is
the property owner's responsibility to conduct fire drills and
other training exercises 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 life safety 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 panel. It is essential to use only equipment
listed for service with your control panel.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises 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 life safety system malfunction is
inadequate maintenance. To keep the entire life safety 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 life saftety system 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
connected 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 manuals are read and understood.
CAUTION - System Re-acceptance 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 operation at 0-49º
C/32-120º F and at a relative humidity . 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 its peripherals be installed in an environment with
a normal room temperature of 15-27º C/60-80º F.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indicating device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a
10% I.R. drop from the specified device voltage.
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 interference, proper
grounding will reduce susceptibility. Overhead or outside 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, or printed circuit board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Overtightening 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.

digital alarm communicator in which all input circuit activations latch (except those
programmed as autoresettable) and are restored only by pressing the local reset switch. The
onboard communicator will attempt to transmit events to a Central Station
• Slave Mode With Communicator Enabled - the 411UDAC functions as a nonlatching slave
to a host control panel and the onboard digital alarm communicator will attempt to transmit
events to a Central Station
• Slave Mode With Communicator Disabled - the 411UDAC functions only as a nonlatching
slave to a host control panel. The digital alarm communicator will not transmit to a Central
Station
1.8 Operational Modes
1.8.1 Normal Mode
Normal Mode is the standard mode of operation in which the 411UDAC monitors the channel/input
circuits as well as telephone line voltage and other internal circuits. In addition to locally annunciating system trouble, active channel/input and communication fail, the onboard communicator
transmits system status information to UL listed central station receivers if programmed to do so.
Transmitted data includes fire alarm, fire alarm trouble, supervisory alarm and AC loss information. Specific digital communicator troubles are also transmitted.
1.8.2 Real Time Clock Mode
Real Time Clock Mode allows the user to change the digital alarm communicator’s internal 24 hour
clock. Connecting an external Programmer allows access to the various Modes of operation.
While the 411UDAC is in Real Time Clock Mode, it does not monitor channel inputs. Use of this
mode requires a valid password.
1.8.3 Program Mode
Program Mode is used to change the programmed functions of the 411UDAC. While the
411UDAC is in Program Mode, it does not monitor channel inputs. In addition, some program
items will be locked, which will prevent editing while the communicator is active (dialing, transmitting, etc.). Use of this mode requires a valid password.
1.8.4 Troubleshoot Mode
Troubleshoot Mode may be used to sample and display status for all channel/input circuits, Notification Appliance Circuit, AC power, battery, charger and 12 volt resettable power. In addition,
Troubleshoot Mode may be used for testing the telephone line interconnect wiring. Connection
from the 411UDAC’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 411UDAC is in Troubleshoot Mode, it does not monitor channel inputs.
1.8.5 Default Mode
Default Mode may be used to return all 411UDAC programming back to the factory default settings and to reset the Real-Time Clock to ‘00:01’ midnight. See “Default Mode” on page 51.

The channel/inputs may be programmed as shown below:
A maximum of five waterflow devices may be used on any circuit programmed as a waterflow zone
per NFPA 72.
It is allowable to mix an assortment of device types (i.e. smoke detectors, heat detectors, pull stations, etc.) on any zone. This is not recommended, however, since specific and detailed reports will
not be possible (particularly critical when using Contact ID format). For example, the report of
general fire alarm versus pull station fire alarm or smoke detector fire alarm could not be distinguished.
The factory default programming for each channel is as follows:
Channel 1 - fire alarm (4-wire smoke)
Channel 2 - pull station
Channel 3 - fire alarm (4-wire smoke)
Channel 4 - pull station
The following illustration shows Channel 1 connected to 4-wire smoke detectors, and UL-listed
power supervision relay; Channel 2 connected to manual pull stations; Channel 3 connected to
manual pull stations; and Channel 4 connected to waterflow devices. In this example, the factory
default programming for Channel 4 must be changed from pull station to waterflow device.
