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 warn ing 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 met hods—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 Asso ciation Standard 72 (NFPA 72), manufa cturer's recommendati ons, 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 pro tection against fire. A fire alarm system may not provide timely or adequate warning, or simply may not function, for a vari ety 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 “smok e ” 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 aw a y from de tectors by air outlets, such as air conditioning vent s.

• 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 designe d to ala rm 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 growt h, neither type of detector i s 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 al arm 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 shoul d 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 desi gned 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 c ertain circumstances, cause seizures in people with conditions such as epilepsy.

• Studies have sh own that certain people, even when they he ar 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 be

en prope

rly 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 t he entire life safety sys tem in excellent working order , ongoing mai ntenance 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 dus t, dirt, or hig h air velocity require more frequent maintenance. A maintenance agreement should be arranged through the local manufacturer's representative. Maintenance should be scheduled monthl y or as required by National and/or local fire codes and should be performed by authorized professional life saftety system installers only . Adequate written reco rds of all inspecti ons 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 sof tware 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 93% ± 2% RH (noncondensing) at 32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 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 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 initia ting and indicating device loops. Most devices cannot tol erate 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 subject ed to li ght ning induced transients. Although no system is completely immune from lightning transients and interf erence, 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 wit h 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 inst al lati on, ope rati ng, and programming manuals. These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to the control panel and a ssociated equipment. FACP operation and rel iability depend upon proper inst allat ion.

Section 1: Product Description

The Fire•Lite Emergency Command Center ECC-50/100 is a single channel, 50 watt, 25 V emergency voice evacuation panel that may be used for fire applications, mass notification applications, or both. The ECC-50/100 comes standard with one speaker circuit. The panel provides the ability to record fourteen field programmable messages (up to 60 seconds each) with an integral microphone or from an external audio source. An integral power supply with battery charger supplies operational power. A 50 watt audio amplifier is built into each panel. An optional second 50 watt amplifier (ECC-50W-25/70V) is also available for backup purposes or to provide an additional 50 watts. The backup amplifier is available in either 25 volts or 70 volts depending on which application is necessary.

Automatic activation of the ECC-50/100 by an FACP is possible via eight Command Input Circuits (CMD) or via the ACS/ANN Bus serial communications link from the MS-9600(UD)LS and MS-9200UDLS FACPs.

Two Command Input Circuits can be independently field programmed for activation by an FACP Notification Appliance Circuit reverse polarity or by closure of a supervised normally open contact and six Command Input Circuits activate on contact closure. CMD 1 and CMD 2 provide terminals for NAC input and output to allow installation of the audio panel anywhere along the NAC circuit being used to activate it.

If the message generator fails, the system automatically reverts to a backup tone generator.

Power is fed independently down the other. Full output power of 50 watts per amplifier is generated while in a low battery condition. Power is not diminished when the optional 70 V is amplified utilizing modern integrated circuits as opposed to transformer technology. This provides for very low signal distortion for crystal clear audio.

Primary applications for the audio panels include protecting structures such as military facilities, restaurants, schools, auditoriums, places of worship, buildings with occupancies over 50, etc. The ECC-50/100 is designed to interface directly to addressable or conventional (CMD inputs 1-8) fire alarm control panels or can be used with the ECC-50/125DA panel to distribute audio in systems that require more than 100 watts.

2.3 Operating Power

WARNING: RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND PERSONAL INJURY

SEVERAL DIFFERENT SOURCES OF POWER CAN BE CONNECTED TO THIS PANEL. DISCONNECT ALL SOURCES OF POWER BEFORE SERVICING. THE PANEL AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT MAY BE DAMAGED BY REMOVING AND/OR INSERTING CARDS, MODULES OR INTERCONNECTING CABLES WHILE THIS UNIT IS ENERGIZED. BE SURE TO OBSERVE PROPER GROUNDING AND HANDLING PROCEDURES.

2.3.1 AC Power and Earth Ground Connection

Primary power source for the ECC-50/100 is 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 3.5 amps. Primary power source for the ECC-50/100E is 240 VAC, 50 Hz, 2.0 amps. Over-current protection for this circuit must comply with Article 760 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and/or local codes. Make certain that the AC mains circuit breaker is off before making any wiring connections between the mains and the panel. Connect AC mains wiring from the protected premises main breaker box to TB15 of the main control board. Use 14 AWG (2.0 mm2, 1.6 mm O.D.) or heavier gauge wire with 600V insulation. No other equipment may be connected to this circuit and it may not contain any power disconnect devices. A separate Earth Ground connection must be made to ensure proper panel operation and lightning and transient protection. Do not use conduit for the Earth Ground connection since this does not provide reliable protection. Remove the two keps nuts from the grounding stud in the backbox. Connect the incoming earth ground wire to supplied cable #71073 with a wire nut. Position the ring terminal end over the grounding stud. Secure with one of the keps nuts. Place the ring terminal from the other supplied cable to TB15. Refer to Figure 2.6 for the location of the stud. Apply AC power to the panel only after the system is completely installed and visually

checked. Note that AC power must be applied to the panel before installing the battery intercon- nect cable (refer to the following section).

2.5 Input/Initiating Circuits

2.5.1 CMD Inputs

The ECC-50/100 has eight Command Input circuits, which are used to activate the panel amplifiers which, in turn, transmit an audio signal over the system speakers. All field wiring for the circuits is power-limited (Class 2) and supervised for opens and ground faults. Note that zero impedance to ground will cause a ground fault.

CMD1 and CMD2 Command Input circuits can be independently field programmed to be triggered by a contact closure or by the reverse polarity of a Notification Appliance Circuit.

IMPORTANT! When CMD1 and CMD2 are configured for reverse polarity , the NAC cannot Coded (including NAC Sync).

CMD1 has internal relay contacts before the out terminals which will open the outgoing NAC circuit during an ECC-50/100 trouble condition (AC loss is programmable as described in Section 3). This causes a NAC trouble at the host FACP. Note that CMD1 and CMD2 configurations can be independently set so that both circuits are triggered by the same type of input or by different types of inputs (see Figure 2.9 below).

NOTE: CMD8 cannot be used when the system is programmed to provide more than eight (8) messages.

When configured with a compatible, addressable FACP, the ECC-50/100 may be triggered either by the FACP main NAC output or from addressable control modules. Figure 2.1 illustrates CMD1 triggered by an addressable control module. The addressable control module may trigger the ECC50/100 via reverse polarity (shown) or relay contact. The FACP monitors the ECC-50/100 for faults while in the standby or alarm state by wiring a monitor module to the trouble contacts as shown in Figure 2.1. Activation of the addressable control module is controlled by the FACP. Refer to the appropriate FACP manual for additional information.

2.5.3 NAC Follower Input

For fire-only applications, the NAC follower input may be used to trigger the onboard NAC. Strobes driven by the onboard NAC must be visibly isolated from FACP NAC(s).

This can be accomplished by connecting the NAC Follower input at TB18 of the control board to the FACP's NAC output. The ECC-50/100 NAC output will then follow the FACP's NACs. A redundant pair of terminals is provided at TB18 for convenient connection of an EOL resistor, or for wiring to any additional equipment requiring this feature (such as an FCPS-FS6/8 remote power supply).

The NAC Follower input is power-limited (Class 2) (refer to Section 2.12, “UL Power-limited Wiring Requirements”, on page 48) and supervised by the host FACP. Supervision requires that a

4.7 K EOL resistor be connected to the last device in the NAC Follower chain.

2.5.4 Night Ring

The Night Ring input allows a building’s Private Branch Exchange (PBX) to activate the ECC50/100. Connections need to be made to TB16 on the main control board and to TB5.1 and TB5.2 on the display board.

2.11 Shielding for External Device Wiring

The external data bus and external audio riser circuits must be wired using twisted, shielded pair cable. Do not run either cable adjacent to or in the same conduit as 120 VAC service, noisy electrical circuits that are powering mechanical bells or horns, speaker circuits, motor control circuits or SCR power circuits. External operator interface power (24VDC) may be run adjacent to or in the same conduit as the external data bus and external audio riser circuits.

At the ECC-50/100 unit, the cable shields must be connected to the same connectors where the signals originate. If only one external device (i.e. an ECC-RM) is used in the system, the shield in the external device must be left floating. It must not touch anything. If multiple external devices are used in the system then the shields must “pass through” (connect to the outgoing shield using wire nuts without touching anything else). For Class A (Style Z) installations, the shield from the last external operator interface must be connected to the same ECC-50/100 terminal that the shield originated from.

NOTE: Never use a cable shield as an enclosure's earth ground. The EIA-485 shield is for radiated noise emission protection (RFI, EMI).Refer to the following illustrations for details on shield termination.

Unit Operation Select whether the ECC will function for Fire Evacuation, Mass Notification, or

a Combination of both.

Event Priority When Combo or Mass Notification is selected for Unit Operation, select whether Mass Notification events or Fire Evacuation events will take priority in the system. If Mass Notification is selected as the Unit Operation with the Event Priority set to Fir e Evacuation, the ECC will

be a mass notification only system but will allow the FACP to override it if a fire alarm sounds. If

Mass Notification is selected as the Unit Operation with the Event Priority also set to Mass Notification, the ECC will not have any fire evacuation capabilities and will report mass notification

events to the FACP. In this configuration, FACP outputs can be turned off for mass notification events if desired.

FACP Data Bus Control If an FACP will directly communicate with the ECC, select which communication protocol will be used, ACS-Bus or ANN-Bus.

FACP Data Bus Address This field has no effect on programming and is used for informational purposes only. When using the FACP ACS-bus protocol, address 01 must be enabled in the

FACP programming. When using the ANN-Bus protocol, the FACP will automatically detect the audio system connection during annunciator auto-configuration. No ANN-Bus address selection is necessary at the FACP. Enter the ECC’s address (1-8) here. If FACP control of the ECC is not

selected, enter 0. 24 Hour Resound As enabled (default), the 24 Hour Resound feature causes the piezo on the

ECC to sound a reminder ‘beep’ for alarms and troubles after the panel has been silenced.

Class A / Style Z Select enable if all circuits on the ECC will operate in Class A (Style Z) or dis- abled if all circuits will operate in Class B (Style Y).

AC Loss Delay The reporting of a loss of AC power using the AC Loss relay output can be

delayed by programming the length of the desired delay. The factory default setting is 2 hours.

Options are 0, 2, 6, 12, or 23 hours. Secondary Amplifier if an ECC-50W-25/70V is installed, select whether it will be used as a

backup amplifier or for secondary speaker circuits. If an ECC-50W-25/70V is not installed, select none.

Programmed Activation by FACP Programming

3.5 Programmed Activation by FACP

The table below defines the capabilities for the FireLite FACPs that can automatically trigger the audio system using the audio system’s “FACP Data Bus”. The FACP annunciator bus serves as “FACP Data Bus” to the audio system. Note that automatic triggering capability is dependent upon the FACP model, FACP version, and which annunciator bus protocol is used.

When using the FACP ACS-bus protocol, address 01 must be enabled in the FACP programming. (Refer to the FACP user manual.) When using the ANN-Bus protocol, the FACP will automatically detect the audio system connection during annunciator auto-configuration. No ANN-Bus address selection is necessary at the FACP.

Once the FACP can communicate with the audio system, FACP zones Z33 through Z56 become dedicated as output zones for speaker circuits 1 through 24 respectively. FACP zone Z32 is dedicated to turn on all speaker circuits. FACP programming allows association between any addressable SLC input device (module, detectors) with any of the speaker circuits. In addition, 1 of 14 messages can be generated over the selected speaker circuit.

Any fault in the audio system is sent to the FACP via the FACP Data Bus and is indicated as an annunciator fault on the FACP display.

• Individual Audio Zone Control via FACP Data Bus - ACS or ANN-BUS compatible FACPs

can control each audio zone on the ECC-50/100 (refer to Section 3.5.1.)

• Individual Control of All Messages - control of all voice messages in the ECC-50/100 can be

accomplished through the FACP Data Bus or by triggering the CMD inputs (refer to Section 3.5.1.)

• Simultaneous Activation of All Audio Zones - this is a single trip mechanism via a zone on the

FACP Data Bus or CMD input trigger that activates all the audio zones at the same time (refer to Section 3.5.1.)

3.5.1 MS-9600(UD)LS and MS-9200UDLS

Important Notes:

1. For proper operation, a message must be assigned to each FACP zone that is programmed to activate an audio speaker circuit.

2. The message repeat setting on the ECC-50/100 should be set to infinite. This will ensure that lower priority activated zones will continue to broadcast the voice message.

3. CMD inputs are not used for activation when the FACP Data Bus is being used, however,

4.7K ELRs must still be connected across CMD3 - CMD8.

FACP Programming

The MS-9600(UD)LS and MS-9200UDLS FACPs must be programmed to operate with the ECC50/100. The following table summarizes the steps involved in programming the FACPs.

1. Enable the ACS or ANN-BUS annunciator at FACP

2. Assign zone(s) to each SLC input device at FACP

3. Program message to be generated over each speaker circuit at FACP

4. Activate individual SLC devices to ensure proper programming

Table 3.3 F ACP Programming Steps

Note 1: Zone 32 is assigned to all speaker circuits. If an addressable device programmed to Zone 32 is activated, the message programmed to Zone 32 will be generated to all speaker circuits. The

exception is when one or more devices programmed to Zones 33 through 40 is also activated. If the newly activated zone is programmed to a message with a higher priority then Zone 32, the higher priority message will be generated to all circuits.

Note 2: Messages have a priority scheme with Message 1 having the highest priority and Message

14 having the lowest priority. For example, If an addressable device activates a speaker circuit programmed to generate Message 14, that message will be generated over the selected speaker zone. If later, another device activates a speaker circuit programmed to generate Message 3, Message 3 has a higher priority then Message 5 and will therefore be generated over both activated speaker zones. The highest priority message will always be generated over all activated speaker circuits.

Note 3: It is important to note that Message 1 is assigned to Zone 00 (General Alarm) as a default.

A message, however, will not be generated over the speaker circuits unless one of the following programming steps is completed:

• For General Alarm applications, all input points must have an audio zone assigned to it:

 Z32 to activate all audio zones

 Z33 to Z56 for specific audio zone control

• For non-General Alarm applications where input devices and/or messages are mapped to specific zones, Message 1 must be removed from Zone 00 programming.

FACP Message Assignment - Speaker Specific

The ECC-50/100 has the capability of generating up to fourteen different messages. Any one of the fourteen messages can be programmed to each of the speaker circuit zones Z32 through Z56.

Example 1: If an addressable device programmed to Zone 35 is activated and no other devices are

active, the message programmed for Zone 35 will be generated over speaker circuit 3.

Example 2: If an addressable device (address 09 in example below) programmed to Zone 35 is

activated and a second addressable device (address 15 in example below) programmed to Zone 36 is activated, the highest priority message programmed to either Zone 35 or Zone 36 (Message 3 in

FACP Message Assignment - Zone Specific

The FACP can be programmed to allow a specific addressable input device to generate one of fourteen messages over any speaker circuit. Any one of the fourteen messages can be programmed to each of the available zones (Zone 1 through Zone 99). In the following example, assume that Zone 5 is programmed to Message 1, Zone 7 is programmed to Message 2, and Zone 35 is not programmed to a message.

Example 3: If two devices are being programmed and the first addressable input device is pro- grammed to Zone 7 and Zone 35, and a second addressable input device is programmed to Zone 5

and Zone 35, activation of the first addressable input device (address 12 in the example below) will

ton description. When the operator completes the page, any previously interrupted emergency broadcast will resume. Previously initiated emergency broadcast will also resume after the push-totalk (PTT) switch is held for more than 3 minutes (timer is programmable).

MNS Control

This button is only used when the system is configured for combination fire/mass notification operation or mass notification only operation.

For mass notification only operation, pressing this button will activate the “MNS active” relay and the onboard NAC. A second press will de-activate the “MNS active” relay, turn main control board NAC off, and cancel all broadcasting.

For combination systems (fire and mass notification) where mass notification has a higher priority through user programming, pressing this button will result in the shutdown of audible FACP NACs and audio system speakers if they were active for fire. Pressing the button again causes the FACP to re-activate audible FACP NACs and audio system speakers if they were previously active for fire.

System Control

This button is used to manually gain control of the audio system in preparation for an ALL CALL, message activation, or general page. The main console will have system priority based upon user programming. If the main console has higher priority than other system consoles (ECC-LOC, ECC-RPU, ECC-RM) then the green LED will turn on steady to confirm control. If no other console is in control then pressing this button is not necessary to gain system control. A second press is required after paging to relinquish control of the system.

Speaker Select 1-24

These buttons are used to manually activate or deactivate speaker zones (circuits).

Message Select 1-14

Section 6: Power Supply Calculations

6.1 Overview

This section contains instructions and tables for calculating power supply currents in alarm and standby conditions. This is a four-step process, consisting of the following:

1. Calculating the total amount of AC branch circuit current required to operate the system

2. Calculating the power supply load current for non-fire and fire alarm conditions and calculating the secondary (battery) load

3. Calculating the size of batteries required to support the system if an AC power loss occurs

4. Selecting the proper batteries for your system

6.2 Calculating the AC Branch Circuit

The audio distribution panel requires connection to a separate, dedicated AC branch circuit, which

must be labeled FIRE ALARM. This branch circuit must connect to the line side of the main

power feed of the protected premises. No other non-fire alarm equipment may be powered from the fire alarm branch circuit. The branch circuit wire must run continuously, without any disconnect devices, from the power source to the transponder. Over-current protection for this circuit must comply with Article 760 of the National Electrical Codes as well as local codes. Use 14 AWG (2.00 mm

The ECC-50/100 requires 3.5 amps from the AC branch circuit. The ECC-50/100E requires 2.0 amps from the AC branch circuit.

) wire with 600 volt insulation for this branch circuit.

6.3 Calculating the System Current Draw

6.3.1 Overview

The secondary power source (batteries) must be able to power the system during a primary power loss. To calculate the non-fire alarm load on the secondary power source, use Calculation Column 1 in Table 6.3. The ECC-50/100 must support a larger load current during a fire alarm condition and primary power loss. To calculate the fire alarm load on the secondary power source, use Calculation Column 2 in Table 6.3.

When calculating current draw and the battery size, note the following:

• ‘Primary’ indicates that the audio panel is being powered by AC

• ‘Secondary’ indicates that the audio panel is being powered by battery backup during AC failure

• All currents are given in amperes (A) and refer to the DC Table 6.1 shows how to convert milliamperes and microamperes to full amperes

To convert.... Multiply Example

Milliamperes (mA) to

Appendix B: Wiring Requirements

Connecting external system accessories to the ECC-50/100 main circuits must be carefully considered to ensure proper operation. It is important to use the correct type of wire, wire gauge and wire run length per each circuit. Refer to the following table to specify wire requirements and limitations.

NOTE: If an SLC loop is to be run in conduit with ECC-50/100 Notification Appliance Circuits, the risk of encountering problems can be greatly reduced by using twisted, shielded cable on the SLC and NACs.
