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 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.

Figure 2.2 DIP Switch Settings Example

• One Indicator - if a single LCD-80FC is the only indicator connected to the EIA-485 loop,

Switch 3 must be set to the ON position to allow the FACP to supervise the indicator.

• Multiple Indicators - if multiple LCD-80FC indicators are connected to the EIA-485 loop,

the indicator physically connected as the last device on the loop (farthest from the ‘OUT’ terminals on the FACP) must have Switch 3 set to the ON position in order to supervise all indicators on the loop. All remaining indicators must have Switch 3 set to the OFF position for proper supervision and operation.

It is important to note that the function switches on all LCD-80FC indicators will operate regardless of the setting of Switch 3.

A break (open circuit) in the power or EIA-485 connections creates an LCD-80FC Indicator fault at the control panel. All indicators before the break will continue to display information (but the func- tion switches on these LCD-80FCs will no longer operate).

4 through 6 = Configuration for use with a particular FACP.

Switches 4, 5 and 6 are used to select the FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel) which is being connected to the LCD-80FC. Refer to the following table for the appropriate switch settings.

4.1 Power Connections

The LCD-80FC Indicator can be powered by the FACP (refer to the specific technical manual for the proper connection of the LCD-80FC) or from a remote UL listed, filtered power supply such as the FCPS-24FS6/8C. The power run to the indicator must be power-limited but need not contain a power supervision relay since loss of power is inherently supervised through loss of communication with the indicator. Maximum LCD-80FC current draw from the power supply (under normal and alarm conditions) is 64.3 mA. Maximum current draw from the control panel's secondary power source (batteries) under loss of AC power is 25 mA, since the LCD backlight is turned off during AC loss. Backlighting is turned back on during AC loss only for alarm conditions in the system. 12 - 18 AWG (0.75 - 3.25 mm tance limitation is set by 1.2 volt maximum line drop from source to end of circuit.

The EIA-485 circuit must be wired using a twisted, shielded pair cable with a characteristic impedance of 120 ohms (+/- 20%). Do not run cable adjacent to or in the same conduit as 120 VAC service, noisy electrical circuits that are powering mechanical bells or horns, audio circuits above 25 V

, motor control circuits or SCR power circuits.

RMS

NOTE: To ensure static (ESD - electrostatic discharge) protection, all enclosures, including the LCD-80FC electrical box, must be connected to earth ground! Never use the EIA-485 shield for this purpose. The EIA-485 shield is for radiated noise emission protection (RFI, EMI). Refer to the following figures for details on EIA-485 shield termination.

5.1 Shield Not in Conduit

The EIA-485 line allows the FACP to communicate with the LCD-80FC Indicator. The shield for the EIA-485 line must be connected to earth ground at the FACP but must be left floating (no connection) at the indicator if it is the first or only device on the EIA-485 line. If a second indicator is connected, the shield leaving the first indicator must be left floating. The shield entering the second indicator must be connected to the three-gang box or Earth Ground terminal (P2-7) on the second indicator. If additional indicators are connected, the shield leaving each enclosure must be left floating and the shield entering each must be connected to the three-gang box or the Earth Ground terminal (P2-7) on the indicator.

The EIA-485 line allows the FACP to communicate with the LCD-80FC Indicator. The shield for the EIA-485 line must be connected to earth ground at the FACP (both exiting and entering the FACP) but must be left floating (no connection) at the indicator if it is the first or only device on the EIA-485 line. If a second indicator is connected, the shield leaving the first indicator must be floating. The shield entering the second indicator must be connected to the Earth Ground terminal (P2-

7) on the second indicator. If additional indicators are connected, the shield leaving each indicator

must be left floating and the shield entering the following unit must be connected to the Earth Ground terminal (P2-7) on the indicator.

CAUTION: INSULATE FLOATING END

DO NOT ALLOW THE FLOATING SHIELD END (NO CONNECTION) TO CONTACT THE CONDUIT. THE FLOATING END SHOULD BE INSULATED FROM EARTH GROUND.

NOTE:

1. Power-limited 24 VDC power may be run in the same conduit as the EIA-485 wiring.

2. Twisted, shielded wire is recommended for the EIA-485 communications loop.

3. Each electrical backbox is connected to earth ground via the conduit.

4. Shield is connected to the FACP cabinet (earth ground) leaving and entering the FACP.
