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 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 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.

Product Description Electrical Specifications

1.5.3 Wiring Specifications

Induced noise (transfer of electrical energy from one wire to another) can interfere with telephone communication or cause false alarms. To avoid induced noise, follow these guidelines:
Isolate input wiring from high current output and power wiring. Do not pull one multi­conductor cable for the entire panel. Instead, separate the wiring as follows:
– SLC Loops
– Relay Circuit
– Audio Circuits
Do not pull wires from different circuits (listed above) through the same conduit. If you must run them together, do so for as short a distance as possible or use shielded cable. Twisted, shielded wire on the Audio Circuits is recommended for maximum protection against EMI and AFI emissions and susceptibility. Connect the shield to earth ground at the panel. You must route high and low voltages separately.
Route the wiring around the inside perimeter of the cabinet. It should not cross the circuit board where it could induce noise into the sensitive microelectronics or pick up unwanted RF noise from the high speed circuits. See Figure 2.4 for an example.
High frequency noise, such as that produced by the inductive reactance of a speaker or bell, can also be reduced by running the wire through ferrite shield beads or by wrapping it around a ferrite toroid.

No special wire is required for the Audio Telephone Circuit. The wire can be untwisted, unshielded, twisted or shielded as long as it meets the National Electric code 760-51 requirements for power limited fire protective signaling cables.
54 Ohm maximum impedance - 12 to 18 AWG.
Twisted, shielded wire is recommended for maximum protection against EMI and AFI emissions and susceptibility.
If using shielded cable, attach the shield to Grounding Stud below TB6 of the FFT.
NOTE: Do not ground the shield on both ends.

Section 3: System Operation

The operation of the ECC-FFT Fire Fighter Telephone system allows audio communication from 24 remote connections through remote handsets to a single local handset. Up to 10 remote handsets can be connected and communicating at one time.

3.1 Push-button Operations

Autoprogram (on inside of FFT dress panel)
The Autoprogram key will cause the FFT to search the SLC loop for devices. The Active LED (green) will then blink for each zone where a device was found. Press and hold the Autoprogram button for 2 seconds in order to initiate this feature.
Accept (on inside of FFT dress panel)
The Accept button is used after Autoprogram. It will save the current SLC device configuration and re-initialize the FFT. If the Accept button is not pressed within one minute after the Autoprogram is complete, its configuration will be discarded and the FFT will be restarted.
Answer Call
When a remote handset is connected to one of the FPJ-F phone jacks, the Answer Call LED will blink and the FFT's piezo will sound. Pressing the Answer Call button will connect the local hand­set to the phone circuit, turn the Answer Call LED on steady, and silence the piezo. Communication between the local and remote handset is now possible. Up to ten remote handsets can be connected to the phone circuit simultaneously. After the initial remote handset, the connection of additional handsets does not cause the piezo to sound or the Answer Call LED to blink.
Trouble Silence
The Trouble Silence button is used to silence a system type trouble that has occurred in the FFT system. Once pressed, the piezo will silence.

3.2 LED Operations

Power Status LED (on Inside of FFT dress panel)
The status LED is located on the right side of the FFT board. On power-up, the power status LED will blink at a 50% on/off rate until FFT initialization is complete (which takes approximately 20 seconds). Once initialization is complete, the status LED will blink at a 10% on and 90% off rate.
No key input will be valid until the FFT completes its initialization.
Answer Call
When a remote handset connects to the audio channel, the Answer Call LED will blink and the piezo will sound. The operator at the FFT then picks up the local handset and presses the Answer button which causes the Answer Call LED to remain on steady and the piezo goes silent. Commu­nication between the local and remote handset is now established. Additional remote handsets can be attached to the audio connection without any intervention at the FFT. Once the last remote hand­set has disconnected from the FFT, the answer LED will turn off and the system will return to nor­mal.
Power
The Power LED indicates that 24 VDC is connected to the FFT.
Local Trouble
The local handset trouble LED will activate and blink when there is a problem with the local hand­set.

System Operation Autoprogram Operation
Trouble (yellow)
Active (green)
Figure 3.1 LED Operations
Remote Trouble
The remote handset trouble LED will activate and blink when there is a problem with the phone cir­cuit.
General Trouble
The General Trouble LED will blink active when system troubles are detected. When the Trouble Silence button is pressed, the General Trouble LED will light steady. Once all system troubles have been restored, the General Trouble LED will turn off.
Status LEDs (on Inside of FFT dress panel)
LED 1 - SLC Supervision
LED 2 - SLC Extra Point Detected
•LED 3 - Future Use
LED 4 - Audio Circuit Supervision
NOTE: Troubles that will turn these LEDs on are: SLC shorted, SLC Class A Open Trouble, and Wrong Device Type.
Zone Active
Each zone has an Active LED (see Figure 3.1). The zone's Active LED will illuminate when a remote handset is plugged into that zone. The LED will turn off when the handset is removed from the zone.
Zone Trouble
Each zone has a Trouble LED. The zone's Trouble LED will blink when specific SLC issues occur such as a missing device or double address. Pressing the Trouble Silence Key will cause the zone trouble LED to turn on steady. Once the zone trouble is corrected, the LED will turn off.

3.3 Autoprogram Operation

The Autoprogram feature will attempt to locate all SLC Mini-Monitor devices installed in the sys­tem, indicate all devices found on the FFT and allow the user to accept the configuration, repeat the Autoprogram, or allow the configuration to be discarded.
1. To perform the FFT Autoprogram press and hold the Autoprogram button for 2 seconds.
2. The FFT will search for installed SLC devices and activate the Active LEDs of all zone/point addresses found.
3. When the Autoprogram is complete, the first four status LEDs will blink. The user can now press the ACCEPT key causing the FFT to save the configuration and restart.
4. The user presses the Autoprogram key again to repeat the SLC search process.
5. If the user does not press the Accept key within one minute after the Autoprogram is complete, its configuration will be discarded and the FFT will be restarted.
