Fire Alarm System Limitations

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 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.

The 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 the Guides for Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors, which are made available at no charge to all installing dealers. These documents can be found at http:/www.systemsensor.com/html/ applicat.html. 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, 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.

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 stor-

age 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, crippling its ability to report a fire.

Audible warning devices such as bells 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:

•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 or comprehend the meaning of the signal. It is the property owner's responsibility to conduct fire drills and other training exercise 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 fire alarm 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. 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. For added protection against telephone line failure, backup radio transmission systems are recommended.

The most common cause of fire alarm malfunction is inadequate maintenance. To keep the entire 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 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 fire alarm installers only. Adequate written records of all inspections should be kept.

Installation Precautions

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 this manual is read and understood.

CAUTION - System Reacceptance 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 indoor dry operation at 0-49° C/32-120° F and at a relative humidity of 93 ±2% RH (non-condensing) at 32 ±2° C/90 ±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 all peripherals be installed in an environment with a nominal room temperature of 15-27° C/60-80° F.

Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indicating device loops. Refer to manual Specifications section for maximum allowable I.R. drop from the specified device voltage.

Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:

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 interferences, 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, and printed circuit board location.

Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Over-tightening 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 by authorized personnel.

Introduction

Overview

Communication between the control panel and intelligent addressable monitor and control devices takes place through a Signaling Line Circuit (SLC), which can be wired to meet the requirements of NFPA Style 4, Style 6, or Style 7.

At least one secondary surge protector must be used with each SLC wiring pair whenever SLC wiring runs outside the building. For detailed information refer to "Appendix B: Surge Suppression" on page 55.

Polling Protocols

The MS-9200UDLS/E, MS-9600LS(C/E) and MS-9600UDLS/E support LiteSpeed protocol or Classic Loop Interface Protocol (CLIP). The MS-9200/E, MS-9600/E, MS-9200UD/E and MS-9050UD support Classic Loop Interface Protocol (CLIP) only.

Available Protocols

LiteSpeed is a communication protocol that greatly enhances the speed of communication between analog intelligent devices. Only the MS-9200UDLS/E, MS-9600LS(C/E) and MS-9600UDLS/E are capable of operating in LiteSpeed mode.

CLIP (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) polls devices in sequential order. All Fire-Lite addressable fire alarm control panels can operate in CLIP mode. This is the default mode of operation for the FACPs.

Protocol Use

Use one of the following options with LiteSpeed/CLIP mode:

1.Program all modules and detectors on an FACP as LiteSpeed.

2.Program all modules and detectors on an FACP as CLIP.

Note: FACPs with more than one SLC loop must be programmed for only LiteSpeed or CLIP mode of operation. Communication protocols cannot be split between SLC loops.

Devices

Isolator Module

The I300 Isolator Module permits a zone of detectors and modules to be fault isolated from the remainder of the SLC loop, allowing critical components to function in the event of a circuit fault. Isolator modules are required to meet the requirements of an NFPA Style 7 circuit.

Monitor Modules

Addressable modules that allow the control panel to monitor entire circuits of conventional alarm initiating devices, such as manual pull stations, smoke detectors, heat detectors, waterflow and supervisory devices.

MMF-300 - Monitors a Style B (Class B) or Style D (Class A) circuit of dry-contact input devises.

MMF-300-10 - Monitors ten (10) Style B (Class B) or five (5) Style D (Class A) normally open contact device circuits.

MMF-301 - Same as the MMF-300 except offered in a smaller package for mounting with Style B wired devices. This module does not have an LED.

MMF-302 - Monitors a single IDC of two-wire smoke detectors.

MMF-302-6 - An addressable module that provides an interface between the control panel and six (6) Style B (Class B) or three (3) Style D (Class A) IDCs of two-wire smoke detectors.

MDF-300 - Similar to MMF-300, but provides for two independent Style B IDCs.

10	The SLC Wiring Manual PN 51309:K 2/14/08

Control Modules

Through the CMF-300addressable control module, the control panel can selectively activate a Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC).

CMF-300-6 - Similar in operation to the CMF-300, except it can activate six (6) Style Y (Class B) or three

(3) Style Z (Class A) NACs.

Relay Modules

The CRF-300 addressable relay module provides the control panel with a dry-contact output for activating a variety of auxiliary devices.

CRF-300-6 - Similar in operation to the CRF-300, except it provides six (6) Form-C relays.

Intelligent Detectors

AD350 - A multicriteria smoke sensor that combines a photoelectric sensing chamber and 135°F (57.2°C) fixed temperature heat detection. The sensor uses addressable communication to transmit smoke density and other information to the control panel. It adjusts its detection parameters and alarm threshold depending on the ambient conditions it samples in its environment.

AD355 - A multicriteria smoke sensor that combines a photoelectric sensing chamber and 135°F (57.2°C) fixed temperature heat detection. The sensor uses addressable communication to transmit smoke density and other information to the control panel. It adjusts its detection parameters and alarm threshold depending on the ambient conditions it samples in its enviornment.

CP350 - An addressable ionization smoke detector which measures the level of combustion products in its chamber using the ‘ionization principle.’

CP355 - An addressable ionization smoke detector which measures the level of combustion products in its chamber using the ‘ionization principle.’

D350P - An addressable photoelectric duct detector. The D350RP includes an alarm relay. Air velocity rating is 500 to 4,000 feet per minute.

D350PL -An addressable low flow photoelectric duct detector (D350PLA for Canada). The D350RPL includes an alarm relay (D350RPLA for Canada). Low Flow refers to the air velocity rating of 100 to 4,000 feet per minute (0.5 to 20.32 m/sec.)

H3501 - An addressable detector using a thermistor sensing circuit for fast response. H350R incorporates a thermal rate of rise of 15°F (9.4°C)/minute.

SLC Performance

SLC performance depends on the type of circuit (Style 4, Style 6, or Style 7) and the components on the circuit.

Note: SLC operation meeting Style 7 requirements isolates each device on the SLC from faults that may occur within other areas of the SLC.

Wiring style requirements are determined by national and local codes. Consult with the Authority Having Jurisdiction before wiring the SLC. The table below (derived from NFPA 72-1999) lists the trouble conditions that result when a fault exists on an SLC.

Type of Fault	Style 4	Style 6	Style 7

Wire Sizing

Wiring Requirements

Wire Sizing

The SLC requires use of a specific wire type, depending on the mode of operation, to ensure proper circuit functioning. Wire size should be no smaller than 18 AWG (0.75 mm2) and no larger than 12 AWG (3.25 mm2) wire. The wire size depends on the length of the SLC circuit. It is recommended that all SLC wiring be twisted-pair to minimize the effects of electrical interference.

CLIP (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) Mode

All addressable FACPs can operated in CLIP (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) mode. It is recommended that all SLC wiring be twisted-pair and shielded when operating in CLIP mode to reduce the effects of electrical interference. Use the table below to determine the specific wiring requirements for the SLC.

LiteSpeed Mode

The MS-9200UDLS, MS-9600LS(C) and MS-9600UDLS SLC can be programmed to operate in LiteSpeed mode for a quicker device response time. While shielded wire is not required, it is recommended that all SLC wiring be twisted-pair to minimize the effects of electrical interference. Use the following table to determine the specific wiring requirements for the SLC.
