Installation Procedure

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 T est 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. Re-acceptance 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 NFP A requirements for operation wi thin the range of 0°C-49°C (32°F-120°F) or humidity within the range of 10%-93% at 30°C (86°F) noncondensing. 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 wir e sizes ar e 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. Remove DC power 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 scr ew terminals more than 9 inlbs. Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal. Fire alarm control panels contain 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.

Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible with the control. It is essential to use only equipment listed for service with your control panel. Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premise to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily disabled. The most common cause of fire alarm malfunctions, however, is inadequate maintenance. All devices and system wiring should be tested and maintained by professional fire alarm installers following written procedures supplied with each device. System inspection and testing should be scheduled monthly or as required by National and/or local fire codes. Adequate written records of all inspections should be kept.

Introduction

Limitations of Fire Alarm Systems

Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detectors be located throughout a protected premise following the recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire Protection Association Standard 72 (NFPA 72), manufacturer’s recommendations, State and local codes, and the recommendations contained in Guide for the Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no charge to all installing dealers. A study by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (an agency of the United States government) indicated that smoke detectors may not go off or give early warning in as many as 35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are designed to provide 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. For example:

• 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, or chimneys 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 Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before reaching the detector.

In general, smoke detectors on one level of a structure cannot be expected to sense fires developing on another level.

• 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 photo electronic 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 are subject to false alarms and nuisance alarms and may have been disconnected by users. For example, a smoke detector located in or near a kitchen may go into nuisance alarm during normal operation of kitchen appliances. In addition, dusty or steamy environments may cause a smoke detector to falsely alarm. If the location of a smoke detector causes an abundance of false alarms or nuisance alarms, do not disconnect the smoke detector; call a professional to analyze the situation and recommend a solution.

• Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate warning of fires caused by arson, children playing with matches (especially within bedrooms), smoking in bed, violent explosions (caused by escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, etc.).

53688 1-3

Model MS-25 Installation and Operation Manual

• Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and are designed to alarm only when heat on their sensors increases at a predetermined rate or reaches a predetermined level. Heat detectors are designed to protect property, not life.

• Warning devices (including horns, sirens, and bells) may not alert people or wake up sleepers who are located on the other side of closed or partially open doors. A warning device that activates on a different floor or level of a dwelling or structure is less likely to awaken or alert people. Even persons who are awake may not notice the warning if the alarm is muffled by noise from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic. Audible warning devices may not alert the hearing-impaired (strobes or other devices should be provided to warn these people). Any warning device may fail to alert people with a disability, deep sleepers, people who have recently used alcohol or drugs, or people on medication or sleeping pills.

Please note that: i) Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures in people with conditions

such as epilepsy.

ii) Studies have shown that certain people, even when they hear a fire alarm signal, do not

respond or comprehend the meaning of the signal. 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 on the proper reaction to alarm signals.

iii) In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can cause temporary or permanent

hearing loss.

• Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central station may be out of service or temporarily out of service. For added protection against telephone line failure, backup radio transmission systems are recommended.

• System components, though designed to last many years, can fail at any time. As a precautionary measure, it is recommended that smoke detectors be checked, maintained, and replaced per manufacturer’s recommendations.

• System components will not work without electrical power. If system batteries are not serviced or replaced regularly , they may not provide battery backup when AC power fails.

• Environments with high air velocity or that are dusty or dirty require more frequent maintenance.

In general, fire alarm systems and devices will not work without power and will not function properly unless they are maintained and tested regularly.

While installing a fire alarm system may make the owner eligible for a lower insurance rate, an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance.

Property owners should continue to act prudently in protecting the premises and the people in their premises and should properly insure life and property and buy sufficient amounts of liability insurance to meet their needs.

Requirements and recommendations for proper use of fire alarm systems including smoke detectors and other fire alarm devices:

Early fire detection is best achieved by the installation and maintenance of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the house or building in accordance with the requirements

1-4 53688

Introduction

and recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire Protection Association Standard 72, National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72), the manufacturer’ s recommendations, State and local codes and the recommendations contained in Guide for the Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no charge to all installing dealers. For specific requirements, check with the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (ex. Fire Chief) for fire protection systems.

Requirements and Recommendations include:

• Smoke Detectors shall be installed in sleeping rooms in new construction and it is

recommended that they shall also be installed in sleeping rooms in existing construction.

• It is recommended that more than one smoke detector shall be installed in a hallway if it is

more than 30 feet long.

• It is recommended that there shall never be less then two smoke detectors per apartment or

residence.

• It is recommended that smoke detectors be located in any room where an alarm control is

located, or in any room where alarm control connections to an AC source or phone lines are made. If detectors are not so located, a fire within the room could prevent the control from reporting a fire.

• All fire alarm systems require notification devices, including sirens, bells, horns, and/or

strobes. In residential applications, each automatic alarm initiating device when activated shall cause the operation of an alarm notification device that shall be clearly audible in all bedrooms over ambient or background noise levels (at least 15dB above noise) with all intervening doors closed.

• It is recommended that a smoke detector with an integral sounder (smoke alarm) be

located in every bedroom and an additional notification device be located on each level of a residence.

• To keep your fire alarm 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 Chapter 14 of NFPA 72, 2010 Edition shall be followed. A maintenance agreement should be arranged through the local manufacturer’s representative. Maintenance should be performed annually by authorized personnel only.

The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when a fire occurs is inadequate maintenance. As such, the alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are working properly.

3.4 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:

High voltage AC power Terminals SLC loops Phone line circuits Notification circuits NAC1 through NAC2 Relay circuits SBUS Wiring

• Do not pull wires from different groups through the same conduit. If you must run them together, do so for as short a distance as possible or use shielded cable. 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 3-1 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.

3.6 Calculating Current Draw and Standby Battery

This section is for helping you determine the current draw and standby battery requirements (Table 3-2).

3.6.1 Worksheet Requirements

The following steps must be taken when determining MS-25 current draw and standby battery requirements.

1. For the MS-25, the worst case current draw is listed for the panel and all addressable devices. Fill in the number of addressable devices that will be used in the system and compute the current draw requirements for alarm and standby. Record this information in the Current Calculation Worksheet at Line A.

2. Add up the current draw for all auxiliary devices and record in the table at Line B.

3. Add up all notification appliance loads and record in the table at Line C.

4. For notification appliance circuits and auxiliary devices not mentioned in the manual, refer to the device manual for the current ratings.

5. Make sure that the total alarm current you calculated, including current for the panel itself, does not exceed 2.0 A. This is the maximum alarm current for the MS-25 control panel.

If the current is above 2.0 A you will need to use a notification power expander(s) such as the Fire-Lite FCPS-24FS6 (8) power supply to distribute the power loads so that the MS25 or the power expanders do not exceed their power rating.

6. Complete the remaining instructions in the Current Calculation Worksheet for determining battery size requirements.

Section 4 Control Panel Installation

Caution!

To avoid the risk of electrical shock and damage to the unit, power should be OFF at the control panel while installing or servicing.

4.1 Mounting the Control Panel Cabinet

Read the environmental specifications in Section 3.2 before mounting the MS-25 panel. The MS-25 cabinet dimensions are:

12-3/4” W x 15-1/8” H x 3-3/8” D (32.39 cm W x 38.42 cm H x 8.57 cm D).

The MS-25 panel should be located within a secured area, where it is accessible to main drop wiring runs and where it can be easily tested and serviced. Building occupants are responsible for maintaining the panel should be able to hear alarms and troubles. When selecting a location, keep in mind that the panel itself is the main source of alarm and trouble annunciation.

When mounting on interior walls, use appropriate screw anchors in plaster. When mounting on concrete, especially when moisture is expected, attach a piece of 3/4 inch plywood to the concrete surface and then attach the MS-25 to the plywood. Also mount any other desired components to the plywood.

DO NOT flush-mount the MS-25 cabinet.

4.1.1 Preventing Water Damage

Water damage to the fire system can be caused by moisture entering the cabinet through the conduits. Conduits that are installed to enter the top of the cabinet are most likely to cause water problems. Installers should take reasonable precautions to prevent water from entering the cabinet. Water damage is not covered under warranty.

4.1.2 Removing the MS-25 Assembly from the Housing

If it should ever be necessary to remove the control panel assembly from the cabinet for repair, do so by removing the screws that hold the control panel in to the cabinet. Do not attempt to disassemble the circuit boards.

4.4 SBUS Wiring

This section contains information on calculating SBUS wire distances and the types of wiring configurations (Class B).

4.4.1 Calculating Wiring distance for SBUS modules

The following instructions will guide you in determining the type of wire and the maximum wiring distance that can be used with control panel SBUS accessory modules.

To calculate the wire gauge that must be used to connect SBUS modules to the control panel, it is necessary to calculate the total worst case current draw for all modules on a single 4conductor bus. The total worst case current draw is calculated by adding the individual worst case currents for each module. The individual worst case values are shown in the table below.

Note: Total worst case current draw on a single SBUS cannot exceed 500 mA.

Model Number Worst Case Current Draw

MS-25 Remote Fire Annunciator .04 amps

After calculating the total worst case current draw, Table 4-1 specifies the maximum distance the modules can be located from the panel on a single wire run. The table insures 6.0 volts of line drop maximum. In general, the wire length is limited by resistance, but for heavier wire gauges, capacitance is the limiting factor.

These cases are marked in the chart with an asterisk (*). Maximum length can never be more than 6,000 feet, regardless of gauge used. (The formula used to generate this chart is shown in the note below).

4.9.2 Auxiliary Power Installation

NAC Circuits 1 and 2 on the control panel can be used as auxiliary power circuits. The three types of auxiliary power available are:

• Door Holder (see section 4.9.2.1)

• Constant (see section 4.9.2.2)

• Resettable Power (see section 4.9.2.3)

Auxiliary power circuits are power limited. Each circuit can source up to 1.0A (total current for system must not exceed 2.0A).

To install an auxiliary power circuit:

1. Wire the NAC circuit(s) that will be used for auxiliary power . See 3.5 for location of NAC circuits.

2. Configure the auxiliary power output through programming.

4.9.2.1 Door Holder Power

Door holder power is intended for fire door applications. When there are no alarms in the system and the panel has AC power, door holder circuits have 24 volt power present at their terminals. Any alarm will cause power to disconnect. Power will be re-applied when the system is reset. If AC power is off for more than 15 seconds, the auxiliary door holder power will be disconnected to conserve the battery backup. When AC power is restored, power is immediately restored to the door holder circuits.

Figure 4-12 Example of an Auxiliary Power For Door Holder

Use a UL listed door holder see list from Appendix A-3, for this application.

4.9.2.2 Constant Power

Use constant power for applications that require a constant auxiliary power source. Power is always present at Constant circuits.

4.9.2.3 Resettable Power

Resettable power is typically used to power beam detectors, flame detectors and conventional 4-wire smoke detectors. For circuits selected as Resettable, 24 volt power is always present at the terminals unless a system reset occurs. If a system reset occurs, power is disconnected from the terminals for 30 seconds, then re-applied.

Section 6 Programming

This section of the manual describes how to change the control panel programming options from the built-in web page of the control panel. All options described in this section are edited via the panel’s built in web page

Important!

Before any customized programming is done, JumpStart should be run first. After JumpStart is run, thoroughly test the system. The reason the system should be tested after JumpStart is because JumpStart automatically programs the system, searching for and configuring all SLC devices and SBUS annunciators it finds. JumpStart allows you to confirm the integrity of the installation prior to performing any custom programming. After determining that the hardware is properly installed, custom programming can be performed. Refer to Section 6.

Model MS-25 Installation and Operation Manual

6.3.4 Maximum SLC address point count

The MS-25 control panel supports a maximum of 25 SLC points to be used within the 159 point address range. The points can be all inputs, all outputs or any combination of inputs and output points. When more than 25 SLC devices are added to the control panel, any excess points will indicate a trouble and not be recognized by the panel.

6.3.5 Installer Code

The installer code is factory programmed as 123456. The installer code is required to learn and remember which SLC devices are connected to the panel. The installer code can be changed when a PC is used to modify the default programming options.

6.4 JumpStart Auto Programming

Once the physical installation of SLC devices is finished, the panel will need to learn which SLC devices and SBUS annunciators are present.

IMPORTANT!

There is no limit to how often you can run JumpStart. Each time you run this

process it starts fresh and does not remember previously installed devices

that are no longer present.

To run JumpStart:

1. Press and hold the “JumpStart” key,

2. Press the installer code after PIN is displayed.

3. During JumpStart, the panel will briefly light up all LEDs and then display “SLC Prg” on

the 7 segment display.

4. When complete the display will be off and programming is complete. If changes are required that affect address settings for the SLC devices, device types or

number of SLC devices installed you will need to repeat JumpStart to re-learn which devices are supposed to be present on the system.

Programming

6.5 Modifying Panel Programming using a PC

6.5.1 Connecting the panel to a PC

Modifications to the default panel programming can only be done using the embedded web server of the control panel. There are two ways to connect to the panel for the purpose of programming. It can be connected through a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) router or it can also be plugged in using a Standard CAT5e Ethernet cable without a router. Both methods of connecting the panel to the PC are for local connection only.

By default, the panel is configured to search for a DHCP server. If there is a DHCP server present, the panel receives the IP configuration offered by the DHCP server and displays the IP address on the seven segment display.

If the panel is connected to a PC without a router, it assigns itself a default class B IP address of the format (169.254.X.X). Each panel will have a unique IP address and it will also be displayed on the 7 segment display. When direct connected, it will normally take about 40 seconds to display the IP address. The panel displays “IP” while the IP address is being determined during this 40 second search period.

A PC with the Windows operating system may take up to 1 minute to fallback to the APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) which enables the PC to communicate to the panel. Whether using either the PC direct connect or the PC connected to the panel via DHCP router, you are ready to view and edit the panel programming options once the panel shows the IP address on the seven segment display.

The embedded web page programming tool is accessed by typing in the panel IP address in a web browser . MS Internet explorer 6 and Mozilla Firefox 3.0.5 are the only two web browsers tested and recommended.

Model MS-25 Installation and Operation Manual

6.6 Panel Programming Options

All customized programming options for the MS-25 control panel are described in this section and are available to be edited using the embedded web server of the control panel.

6.6.1 System Options

6.6.1.1 Synchronized Strobes Active When Horns Silenced

The default configuration for this option is No. If set to Yes, strobes will remain on when horns are silenced until a panel reset is issued.

6.6.1.2 Silence/Reset Inhibit Enabled

The default configuration for this option is NO. If set to Yes, Pressing either Reset or Silence Buttons will be ignored for the duration of the delay (set to 30 seconds). The inhibit feature delay is only active for the first alarm/supervisory signal.

6.6.1.3 Water Flow Delay

The water flow delay is a debounce time that is generally used to help reduce false alarms during brief periods of water pressure fluctuation in a water riser. The default setting is 1 second which is the minimum debounce time. You can set the water flow delay within the range 1-90 seconds.

6.6.1.4 Installer Code (User ID)

This is the password used to lock the list of SLC devices found during the JumpStart auto learn process. It is defaulted to 123456 and can be changed to any 4 to 8 digit number .

6.6.1.5 Alarm Verification Time

Alarm verification is an optional false alarm prevention feature for smoke detectors that verifies an alarm condition by resetting the smoke detector . The alarm verification time can be set within the range of 1-250 seconds. For UL 864 installations this option must be greater than 59 seconds. The default setting is 60 seconds.

6.6.1.6 Auto Test

Enter the hour/minutes (in 24 hour format) that you desire the control panel to send the automatic test report.

6.6.1.7 Low AC Report Delay

This option determines the number of delay hours before a loss of AC is reported to the central station. It is defaulted to 3 hours and must be within the range 0-30 hours. For U.L. 864 installation this option must be set within the range 1-3 hours.

6-6 53688

Programming

6.6.1.8 Walk Test Reporting

The default configuration for this option is No. If set to Yes, the panel generates a TEST report to the central station when the walk test begins. During a walk test, the panel’s normal fire alarm function is completely disabled, placing the panel in a local trouble condition. All zones respond as 1-Count zones (respond when a single detector is in alarm) during a walk test. Each alarm initiated during the walk test will be reported.

6.6.1.9 Walk Test duration

Enter the amount of time, in minutes, for the walk test duration. When the programmed amount of time expires, the Walk Test will end automatically.

6.6.1.10 Walk Test NAC Time out

Enter the amount of time, in seconds, for the walk test NAC active duration. During a walk test alarm activation, the NACs will automatically deactivate after the programmed amount of time expires.

6.6.1.11 Clock Source

The panel’s AC line frequency is selectable for 60 Hz, 50 Hz, or Internal Clock Source. AC frequency feature dictates how the control panel will calculate time based on the AC line frequency used in the installation site. The “Internal Clock” option can be used in areas where the AC line frequency is not dependable and you want the panel to calculate time from the internal crystal. The internal crystal is not as accurate as the AC power source. The panel defaults to the 60 HZ selection.

6.6.1.12 Auto Daylight Savings Time

Select this feature to “Yes” if you want the panel to automatically adjust the clock to track with daylight savings time.

6.6.1.13 Remote Annunciator

Select this feature to “Yes” if a ANN-80 Remote Annunciator is to be used. A customized banner can also be added to the Remote Annunciator . The Remote Annunciator allows for the top 2 lines to be programmed as a custom banner.

Model MS-25 Installation and Operation Manual

6.6.2 Zone Programming

6.6.2.1 SLC Addresses Within Each Zone

Each zone has 15 alarm SLC addresses and 5 supervisory SLC addresses assigned to it as described in table 6.1. For each SLC address within a zone, the SLC device type choices are Unused, Detector, Manual Pull Switch, Latching Water Flow Switch or Non-Latching Water Flow Switch. The default setting is that all points are unused.

6.6.2.2 Zone Silenceable

When an alarm occurs within a zone, there is a programming option that allows the outputs to be silenceable or not. If you want the SILENCE key to be able to silence outputs triggered by active alarms within the zone select YES for this option. The default setting is Yes.

6.6.2.3 Zone Type

A zone can be either a one count zone or an alarm verification zone. The default setting is one count. A one count zone has an immediate alarm when a single detector goes into alarm.

Alarm verification is an optional false alarm prevention feature for smoke detectors that verifies an alarm condition by resetting the smoke detector. If the alarm condition still exists by the time the reset cycle has completed, the detector will go into alarm. If the detector is no longer in alarm, the initial alarm is ignored. The alarm verification sequence for a detector does not occur if the zone is already in alarm.

6.6.3 Output Point Programming

For each output SLC address you can select that a device is present or unused. The default setting for all output points is unused.

Programming

6.6.7 Dialer Account programming Options

Up to two accounts can be used for reporting events to the central station. A typical reason to use multiple reporting accounts might be to have one account for reporting alarms and a different account for reporting supervisories and troubles. The programming options for each account are described below.

6.6.7.1 Account Number

Up to six digits allowed for SIA formats or up to four digits for contact ID format. Default account numbers are blank.

6.6.7.2 Phone Number

Enter the phone number to call the central station. Default setting is blank. The following special characters are available:

Table 6-4: Special Dialing Characters

# Pound (or number) key on the telephone * Star key on the telephone , Comma (character for 2-second pause)

6.6.7.3 Reporting Format

Choose SIA8 (up to 8 events per call), SIA20 (up to 20 events per call) or contact ID reporting format. Default setting is contact ID.

6.6.7.4 Reporting Filters

Selecting the Must option forces the event type to be reported to the account even if it was already reported to another account. Selecting the Yes option will insure that the event type gets to at least one account. Selecting the No option means that the event type will not be reported to this account. The default setting is No.

Selecting No for all report filters in both accounts effectively disables the dialer.
