Fire Alarm System Limitations

While a fire alarm system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for fire 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 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 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 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, 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 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, 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 panel. 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

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.

Table 1.1 Reference Documentation

1.2 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 “Surge Suppression” on page 64.

1.3 Polling Protocols

The MS-9200UDLS, MS-9600LS, and MS-9600UDLS 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.

1.3.1 Available Protocols

LiteSpeed is a communication protocol that greatly enhances the speed of communication between analog intelligent devices. Only the MS-9200UDLS, MS-9600LS, and MS-9600UDLS are capable of operating in LiteSpeed mode. This is the default mode of operation for these FACPs.

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

1.3.2 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.

When switching between polling protocols, the loop circuit must be powered down for at least 30 seconds to reset the devices.

SLC Performance Introduction

1.6 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

Single Open Trouble Alarm, Trouble Alarm, Trouble

Single Ground Alarm, Trouble (ground) Alarm, Trouble (ground) Alarm, Trouble (ground)

Short Trouble Trouble Alarm, Trouble

Short and open Trouble Trouble Trouble

4.1 Fault Isolator Devices

There are two isolator devices used to protect critical elements of the SLC from faults on other SLC branches or segments.

• Fault Isolator Module I300

• Isolator Detector Base B224BI

A Fault Isolator Module on both sides of a device, or the combination of Isolator Base and Isolator Module is required to comply with NFPA Style 7 requirements.

CAUTION: MAXIMUM ADRESSABLE DEVICES

• If relay or sounder bases are not used, a maximum of 25 addressable devices can be

connected between Isolator Modules and/or Bases. When relay or sounder bases are used, the maximum number of addressable devices that can be connected between Isolators is reduced to seven. Isolator modules will not function properly when these limits are exceeded.

• When more than 100 Isolator Modules are connected to an SLC loop, the address capacity

of the loop is reduced by two (2) addresses for every isolator device in excess of 100.

4.1.1 Isolating an SLC Branch

The module continuously monitors the circuit connected to terminals 3(–) and 4(+). Upon powerup, an integral relay is latched on. The module periodically pulses the coil of this relay. A short circuit on the SLC resets the relay. The module detects the short and disconnects the faulted SLC branch or segment by opening the positive side of the SLC (terminal 4). This isolates the faulty branch from the remainder of the loop preventing a communication problem with all other addressable devices on the remaining branches (labeled “Continuation of the SLC” in the figure below). During a fault condition, the control panel registers a trouble condition for each addressable device which is isolated on the SLC segment or branch. Once the fault is removed, the module automatically reapplies power to the SLC branch or segment.

4.1.2 Wiring an Isolator Module

The figure below shows typical wiring of an Isolator Module:

For example, a fault in Section B will not effect Sections A & C. The isolator modules on either side of Section B will open the loop. Section A will still operate from power on the SLC Out side and Section C will operate from the SLC Return side.

• A combination of isolator modules and isolator bases may be used.

• T-tapping is NOT allowed within the Style 6 configuration.

• Isolator modules shall be within 20 feet (6.1 meters) of device and must be enclosed in metal conduit.

5.2.2 Setting an SLC address for a Multi-Point Module

The SLC address of a multi-point module is set in the same fashion as a single-point module.

In Class B operation, each MMF-300-10, MMF-302-6, CMF-300-6, and CRF-300-6 module is set to a base address. The remaining module points are automatically assigned to the next higher SLC addresses. For example, if the base address of a MMF-300-10 is set to 28, the next module points will be addressed to 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 and 37.

In Class A operation, alternate module points are paired together, resulting in a total of five module points. For example, if the base address of a MMF-300-10 is set to 28, then 30, 32, 34 and 36 will be automatically assigned to the remaining module points and 29, 31, 33, 35 and 37 are available for use by other modules.

NOTE: The MS-9050UDNFW-50 can support addresses 01 - 50. The MS-9200, MS-9200UD and MS-9200UDLS can support module addresses of 01 - 99. The MS-9600, MS-9600LS, and MS-9600UDLS can support module addresses 01 - 159 (the plastic stop located on the Tens switch must be removed to set addresses above 99).

To set an SLC address, use a common screwdriver to adjust the rotary switches on the module to the desired address. The module below is set at “28”.

In “Style Z” operation alternate module points are paired together, resulting in a total of three module points. For example, if the base address is set to 28, then 30 and 32 will be automatically assigned to the remaining module points and 29, 31 and 33 are available to be used for other modules on the SLC.

DO NOT set the lowest address above 154 (45 for the MS-9050UD, 94 for the MS-9200, MS9200UD, and MS-9200UDLS), as the other module points will be assigned to nonexistent addresses.

NOTE: The MS-9050UD can support addresses 01 - 50. The MS-9200, MS-9200UD, and MS9200UDLS can support module addresses of 01 - 99. The MS-9600, MS-9600LS, MS-9600LSC, and MS-9600UDLS can support module addresses 01 - 159.

To set an SLC address, use a common screwdriver to adjust the rotary switches on the module to the desired address. See Figure 6.4 on page 48.

NOTE: For use with the MS-9600, MS-9600LS, MS-9600LSC, and MS-9600UDLS, remove the stop on the upper rotary switch.

6.4.3 Setting NACs as Style Y or Style Z

To use this module for Style Y (Class B) operation ascertain that a small shunt is installed on the “A/B SELECT” set of pins. (As shipped).

To use this module for Style Z (Class A) operation remove the small shunt from the “A/B SELECT” set of pins. See drawing below and Figure 6.4 on page 48.

6.4.4 Disabling Unused Module Addresses

A shunt is used, in conjunction with a pin block, to disable a maximum of three (3) unused module addresses. If two module addresses are disabled, the lowest four addresses will be functional, while the highest two will be disabled. For example, if the shunt is placed on ‘DISABLE 2’ and the base address is set to 28, the module addresses will be assigned to 28, 29, 30 and 31.

In Style Z operation, placing a small shunt on ‘DISABLE 3’ will disable all three addresses. Placing it on ‘DISABLE 2’ will disable two out of three addresses.

To disable addresses, securely place one of the supplied small shunts onto the desired set of pins. See drawing and Figure 6.4 on page 48.

6.4.5 Short Circuit Protection

Protection is disabled for each module address when there is a large shunt installed on the corresponding pins of the pin block (as shipped, all six addresses are disabled).

When enabled, the module will not switch power supply if a short circuit condition exists on a NAC.

To enable “Short Circuit Protection” for an address, remove the large shunt from the corresponding pins of the pin block. See Figure 6.4 on page 48. Place unused shunts on single pin to store on board for future use.

7.4.2 Setting an SLC address for a CRF-300-6 Module

Each CRF-300-6 module can be set to one of 154 base addresses (01-154). The remaining module points are automatically assigned to the next five higher SLC addresses. For example, if the base address is set to 28, the next five module points will be addressed to 29, 30, 31, 32 and 33.

DO NOT set the lowest address above 154 (45 for the MS-9050UD, 94 for the MS-9200, MS9200UD, and MS-9200UDLS), as the other module points will be assigned to nonexistent addresses.

NOTE: The MS-9050UD can support addresses 01 - 50. The MS-9200, MS-9200UD, and MS9200UDLS can support module addresses of 01 - 99. The MS-9600, MS-9600LS, and MS9600UDLS can support module addresses 01 - 159. To set an SLC address, use a common screwdriver to adjust the rotary switches on the module to the desired address. See Figure 6.4 on page 48. For use with an MS-9600, MS-9600LS, MS-9600LSC, and MS-9600UDLS, remove the stop on the upper rotary switch.

7.4.3 Disabling Unused Module Addresses

A shunt is provided on the circuit board to disable a maximum of three (3) unused module addresses. If two module addresses are disabled, the lowest four addresses will be functional, while the highest two will be disabled. For example, if the shunt is placed on ‘TWO’ and the base address is set to 28, the module addresses will be assigned to 28, 29, 30 and 31.

To disable addresses, remove the shunt from it’s storage location and securely place it onto the desired set of pins. See illustration.

Section 9: Intelligent Detector Bases

9.1 Description

The following bases provide connection between the SLC and these detector heads:

• AD350 and AD355 Multicriteria Photoelectric Smoke Detector

• CP350 and CP355 Ionization Smoke Detector

• H350, H350R, H355, H355R and H355HT Thermal Detector

• SD350, SD350T, SD355 and SD355T Photoelectric Smoke Detector

The B501 and B210LP bases are standard plug-in detector bases.

The B501BH, B501BHT, B501BH-2, B501BHT-2, and B200SR Sounder Detector Bases include a horn that will sound when the sensor’s visible LEDs are latched on for approximately 10 seconds.

On the MS-9200 Control Panel, the sounder will activate when the sensor’s visible LEDs are latched on for approximately 10 seconds (Alarm Verification does not delay sounder).

If the MS-9600, MS-9600LS, MS-9600UDLS, MS-9200UD, MS-9200UDLS, or MS-9050UD Control Panel is set with Alarm Verification ON, the sounder will activate at the end of the verification cycle, providing an alarm is verified, approximately 10 seconds after the sensor’s LEDs are latched on. If Alarm Verification is OFF, the sounder will activate when the sensor’s visible LEDs are latched on for approximately 10 seconds.

The B224RB Relay Detector Base includes Form-C latching relay contacts for the control of an auxiliary function. The relay operates 12 seconds (nominally) after activation of the sensor head remote annunciator output.

The B224BI Isolator Detector Base prevents an entire communications loop from being disabled when a short circuit occurs.

NOTE: For more information, refer to the Installation Instructions provided with these devices.

Appendix A: Power Considerations

A.1 Supplying Power to 24 VDC Detectors and NACs

A.1.1 Resistance and Size

To determine the minimum resistance that can be tolerated in supplying power to 24 VDC 4-wire devices and NACs, use the calculation below. Use this resistance to select the proper gauge wire for the power run from the manufacturers specifications for the desired wire.

For Four-Wire Detectors:

(Vms - Vom)

Rmax =

(N)(Is) + (Na)(Ia) + (Ir)

For NACs:

(Vms - Vom)

Rmax =

(Nb)(Ib)

Where:

Rmax = maximum resistance of the 24 VDC wires Vms = minimum supply voltage Vom = minimum operating voltage of the detector or end-of-line relay, whichever is greater, in volts N = total number of detectors on the 24 VDC supply circuit Is = detector current in standby Na = number of detectors on the 24 VDC power circuit which must function at the same time in alarm Ia = detector current in alarm Ir = end-of-line relay current Nb = number of Notification Appliance Devices Ib = Notification Appliance current when activated

NOTE: This simplified equation assumes that the devices are at the end of a long wire run.

The minimum supply voltages produced by Fire•Lite power supplies are listed below:

FACP Vms Power Supply Vms

A.2 Supervising 24 VDC Power

Power used to supply 24 VDC detectors, notification appliances (using the CMF-300), and two wire detectors (using the MMF-302) can be supervised with a power supervision relay. This relay, energized by the 24 VDC power itself, is installed at the end of each respective power run and wired in-line with the supervised circuit of any intelligent module.

24 VDC power must be provided from a UL-listed power supply for fire protection use.

When power is removed from the relay, the normally closed contacts open the supervised circuit, generating a trouble condition. Therefore, the relay needs to be installed at the end of the supervised circuit, so it will not disrupt the operating capability of all the devices on that circuit. The relay can be installed in-line with any leg (+ or –) of the supervised NAC circuit, either a Style B (Class B) or a Style D (Class A) circuit.

The drawing below illustrates this concept.
