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 ion- izing-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.

Section 1: System Overview

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.

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.

1.2Features

System Overview	Jumpers

1.4Jumpers

!CAUTION: DISCONNECT POWER

REMOVE ALL POWER (AC & DC) BEFORE CUTTING OR MOVING ANY JUMPERS.

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.

•NAC Trouble (yellow) LED - indicates a Notification Appliance Circuit trouble (blinks once for Circuit 1 trouble, twice for Circuit 2 trouble, three times for Circuit 3 trouble and four times for Circuit 4 trouble. Note that multiple circuits in trouble will cause the LED to blink the number of the circuit with the highest number)

•ChargerTrouble/AC Loss (yellow) LED - indicates a charger fault or loss of AC power:

–If AC is applied to the power supply without a battery connected, both the Charger Trouble/AC Loss LED and Battery Trouble LED will turn on simultaneously, indicating that a battery is not connected.

–When a battery is connected and the power supply is in Normal Mode, if the battery voltage drops too low or the battery is disconnected, only the Battery Trouble LED will turn on.

–When a battery is connected and the charger develops a problem, only the Charger Trouble/AC Loss LED will turn on.

1.7 General

The FCPS may be used in a number of different applications. It may be used as a remotelymounted power supply and battery charger where it can provide up to four coded or noncoded, synchronized or nonsynchronized NACs (Notification Appliance Circuits). Alternatively, output #4

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.

Section 2: Installation

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.

2.1Backbox 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:
