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.
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.

1.1.1 Reference Documentation
The table below accommodates a list of document sources containing additional information
regarding the devices used on a Signaling Line Circuit:
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.
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.
1.4.2 Monitor Modules

1.5 SLC Capacity
The protocol selected for an SLC loop determines the maximum number of devices that can be
handled by the loop. See Section 1.3, “Polling Protocols”, on page 10. Within those limits, the
individual control panel may have additional restrictions. See the specific installation manual for
this information.
1. Addressable Heat Detectors are not compatible with the MS-9200(E).
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.

1.7 Surge Suppression
One primary 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.
1.8 LED Operation
The table below lists the LED operation on the various devices on an SLC.
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 mm
AWG (3. 2 5 mm
2
) wire. The wire size depends on the length of the SLC circuit. It is recommended
2
) and no larger than 12
that all SLC wiring be twisted-pair to minimize the effects of electrical interference.
2.1.1 CLIP (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) Mode
All addressable FACPs can operate 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.

3.Measure the resistance across the SLC channel B (Out) leads.
Total Wire Length
The total wire length in a four-wire SLC cannot exceed the limits set forth in each system’s
instruction manual. The figure below identifies the output and return loops from SLC terminal on
the control panel:
The drawing below shows the method of proper termination of the shield.
Connect the metal conduit to the cabinet by using the proper connector. Feed the shielded wire
through the conduit, into the control box. The shield drain wire must be connected to the “shield”
terminal on the SLC terminal block.
NOTE: Use of good wiring practice consistent with local electrical codes is expected.
CAUTION:DO NOT LET THE SHIELD DRAIN WIRE OR THE SHIELD FOIL TOUCH THE
SYSTEM CABINET OR BE CONNECTED TO EARTH GROUND AT ANY POINT.
The terminal blocks on the control panel circuit board that concern the SLC circuit are described
below. For more information on this subject refer to the control panel’s Instruction Manual.
2.4.1 MS-9200
TB4 provides three types of 24 VDC power; Unregulated, Nonresettable and Resettable.
TB6 provides connections for the SLC wiring.
198 addresses are available per loop (99 detectors and 99 modules).
2.4.2 MS-9600, MS-9600LS, & MS-9600UDLS
TB3 provides two types of 24 VDC power; Nonresettable and Resettable.
TB8 provides connections for the SLC wiring.
198 addresses are available per loop (99 detectors and 99 modules) while operating in CLIP mode.
318 addresses are available per loop (159 detectors and 159 modules) while operating in LiteSpeed
mode.
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.

4.4 NFPA Style 7 SLC Using Isolator Modules
Style 7 operation requires using isolator modules (or a combination of isolator modules and isolator
bases) before and after each device. Flanking each device with an isolator provides fault protection
to all other devices on the loop.
•T-tapping is NOT allowed within the Style 7 wiring configuration.
•When a detector base or pull station is used, install isolator modules on both sides of the
device.
•Connections between isolator modules and the device they isolate must be “close-nippled”
conduit, within 3 feet (91.44 cm).

6.4 CMF-300-6 Installation
6.4.1 Cabinet Installation
This type of module is contained in either a BB-2 or BB-6 cabinet. The BB-2 can accommodate up
to 2 modules and the BB-6, which requires the CH-6 chassis, can accommodate up to 6 modules.
See the Installation Instructions provided with module for proper installation into cabinet.
6.4.2 Setting an SLC address for an CMF-300-6 Module
In “Style Y” operation each CMF-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.
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 CRF-300-6 Installation & Wiring
7.4.1 Cabinet Installation
This type of module is contained in either a BB-2 or BB-6 cabinet. The BB-2 can accommodate up
to 2 modules and the BB-6, which requires the CH-6 chassis, can accommodate up to 6 modules.
See the Installation Instructions provided with module for proper installation into cabinet.
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.
7.4.4 Wiring a CRF-300-6 Module (Form-C Relay)
The figure below shows a CRF-300-6 module wired to the Control Panel.
The CDRM-300 is an addressable module that functions as two individual relay control modules
(two isolated sets of Form-C relay contacts) and two Class B monitor modules.

8.2 CDRM-300 Installation & Wiring
8.2.1 Setting an SLC address for a CDRM-300 Module
Each module is factory preset with an address of “00”. To set an SLC address, use a screwdriver to
adjust the rotary switches on the module to the desired address. Each module can use up to four (4)
addresses. The base address selected via the rotary address switches will be assigned to relay output
#1 from 00 to 156. The module will automatically assign the next three addresses as appropriate to
monitored input #1, relay output #2, and monitored input #2.
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.
9.2 Installation and Wiring
9.2.1 Setting the Detector Address
Each intelligent detector is factory preset with an address of “00.” To set an SLC address, use a
common screwdriver to adjust the rotary switches on the detector to the desired address (see “Setting an SLC address for a Single Point Module” on page 32). When finished, mark the address in
the place provided on the base and the detector.
Typical wiring of a detector base (B501 shown) connected to an SLC is shown in the figure below.
An optional RA100Z/RA400Z Remote LED Annunciator is shown connected to the detector.
NOTE: The B210LP base wiring is identical to the B501. B501 is the flangeless model.

9.2.3 Wiring an Isolator Base
The B224BI Isolator Base will isolate its detector from short circuits that occur on the SLC connected at terminals 2 and 3. It will not isolate its installed detector from short circuits that occur on
the SLC connected at terminals 1 and 2. In Style 7 applications, the loss of a single detector during
a short circuit is not acceptable, and an isolator module must be installed as shown in the figure
below.
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:
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.
NOTE: Surge protection is not required in Canadian applications.
There are three (3) primary surge protectors that are approved for use with the MS-9200, MS9200UD, MS-9200UDLS, MS-9600, MS-9600LS, MS-9600UDLS, and MS-9050UD.
Additional primary surge suppressors may be added as required by the NEC. Add these additional
suppressors in series with the SLC wiring at the building entry/exit.
Wiring connected to the surge suppressor output must remain within the building while wiring connected to the surge suppressor input may be routed outside the building as shown below.
Mounting of the surge suppressor must be inside the FACP enclosure or in a separate enclosure
listed for fire protective signaling use.
•Locate on an available stud and secure with nut.
•Unit is connected in series with the SLC Loop to protect the Control Panel.
•Provide a common ground to eliminate the possibility of a differential in ground potentials.
