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 firstfloor 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

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.

The FCPS-24FS6 is a 6 amp power supply and the FCPS-24FS8 is an 8 amp power supply. Each
FCPS-24FS power supply is a compact, cost-effective, remote power supply and battery charger
which provides ADA compatible strobe synchronization. Each remote power supply consists of a
filtered 24 VDC output that can be configured to drive four Style Y (Class B) NACs (Notification
Appliance Circuits). The four circuits can be configured for Style Z (Class A) with the optional
ZNAC-4 Class A converter module. Alternatively, the four output circuits may be configured as 24
VDC resettable or nonresettable power outputs. The input circuits, which control the power supply
operation, are triggered by the reverse polarity of an NAC or by a 12 VDC or 24 VDC power
source. The power supplies are compatible with 12 VDC and 24 VDC control panels.
The FCPS-24FS6E and FCPS-24FS8E offer the same features as the FCPS-24FS6 and FCPS24FS8 respectively but allow connection to 220/240 VAC. Unless otherwise specified, the information in this manual applies to both the 110/120 VAC versions and the 220/240 VAC versions of
the power supplies.
The FCPS-24FS6C and FCPS-24FS8C are the Canadian versions which offer the same features as
the FCPS-24FS6 and FCPS-24FS8 respectively. Unless otherwise specified, the information in this
manual also applies to the Canadian versions of the power supplies.
1.1 General
The FCPS-24FS power supplies can be used as remotely mounted power supplies and battery chargers to power four noncoded or coded NACs. The Main FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel) NAC(s)
is connected to the remote power supply input circuit(s). When the control input circuit activates
due to reverse polarity of the NAC from the FACP, the power supply will activate its Notification
Appliance Circuits.
Section 1: System Overview
During the inactive or nonalarm state, the power supply supervises its NAC field wiring for short
and open conditions. AC fail, battery, charger and ground fault troubles will also be monitored by
the power supply. If an NAC or power supply fault is detected, the power supply Normally-Closed
Trouble contact will open.
If an alarm condition occurs and the NAC is activated, the supervision is disabled and the Notification Appliance Circuit is no longer supervised (except for shorts). Supervision of other power supply faults such as low battery, AC loss, ground fault and battery charger trouble will continue and
may be monitored via the Trouble relay contacts.
1.2 Features
• Self-contained in a lockable cabinet
• 24 VDC remote power supply
• Outputs are completely power-limited (Class 2)

1.4.1 Jumper JP1 - Ground Fault Detection
The Ground Detection circuit monitors for zero impedance between the power supply and ground.
Jumper JP1 is located in the top right section of the power supply circuit board. Cutting JP1 will
disable ground fault detection by the power supply. This should only be done if ground faults are
being monitored by a panel connected to the FCPS power supply.
1.4.2 Jumpers JP2 and JP3: Coded/Noncoded Input Selection
Jumpers JP2 and JP3 are located in the top right section of the power
supply circuit board. JP2 is used for Control Input Circuit #1 and
JP3 is used for Control Input Circuit #2. The position of these jumpers will depend on the type of signal being fed to the input circuits:
• If the source voltage to the input circuit is a noncoded (steady
voltage) input signal, the jumper for the corresponding input
circuit should be in the default position which jumpers the
bottom two pins (as illustrated in drawing at left).
• If the source voltage to the input circuit is coded (variable
voltage), the jumper for the corresponding input circuit should
be moved to jumper the top two pins.

can be used as a door holder circuit which will provide a steady 24 VDC output until an alarm condition or AC fail condition causes it to drop to 0 VDC following a 10 second delay. All four outputs can also provide power.
One possible application for the FCPS remote power supply utilizes the NAC repeater feature. In
this application, one or two NACs are connected from the main FACP to the remote power supply
control input circuits. When the control input circuits are activated by the reverse polarity of the
NACs, the power supply will activate its corresponding output circuits as programmed by SW1
DIP switch configuration (refer to Table 3.1 on page 20).
During the inactive state, the remote power supply supervises its NAC field wiring for short and
open conditions. If a fault is detected, the power supply will enter a trouble condition and illuminate the NAC Trouble LED. When the NACs are activated, the supervision is disabled and the circuits are no longer supervised (except for short circuit conditions). Supervision of other power
supply faults such as low battery, battery charger trouble, ground fault and AC loss will continue
and may be monitored via the power supply trouble relay.
If an application requires that all four outputs activate at the same time, only one NAC is required
from the FACP. For this application, the NAC is connected to control input circuit #1 and SW1
DIP switch is set for this operation.

Carefully unpack the system and check for shipping damage. Select a location for the cabinet that is
in a clean, dry, vibration-free area where extreme temperatures are not encountered. The area
should be readily accessible with sufficient room to easily install and maintain the power supply.
Locate the top of the cabinet approximately five feet above the floor with the hinge mounting on
the left. Determine the number of conductors required for the devices to be installed and determine
the appropriate knockouts. All wiring must be in accordance with the National and/or Local codes
for fire alarm systems and power supplies.
2.1 Backbox Mounting
CAUTION: STATIC SENSITIVE COMPONENTS
THE CIRCUIT BOARD CONTAINS STATIC-SENSITIVE COMPONENTS. ALWAYS GROUND
YOURSELF WITH A PROPER WRIST STRAP BEFORE HANDLING ANY BOARDS SO THAT
STATIC CHARGES ARE REMOVED FROM THE BODY. USE STATIC SUPPRESSIVE PACKAGING
TO PROTECT ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLIES.
1. Remove the PC board and transformers from the backbox before installing backbox. Set the
board and transformers aside in a safe, clean place. Avoid static discharge which may damage
static sensitive components on the board.
2. Mark and predrill holes for the top two keyhole mounting bolts.
3. Install two upper fasteners in the wall with the screw heads protruding approximately ¼”.
4. Using the upper keyholes, mount the backbox over the two screws.
5. Mark the lower two holes, remove the backbox from the wall and drill the mounting holes.
6. Mount the backbox, install the remaining fasteners and tighten all screws.
7. When the location is dry and free of construction dust, reinstall the PC board and transformers
and continue with the installation.
8. IMPORTANT! Make certain to connect the supplied grounding strap between the Earth
terminal on TB1 (AC Terminal Block) of the main circuit board and the chassis ground stud as
illustrated in Figure 2.1:
