Fire Alarm & Emergency Communication System Limitations

While a life safety system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for life and property insurance!

An automatic fire alarm system—typically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control panel (FACP) with remote notification capability—can provide early warning of a d eveloping fire. Such a system, however, does not assure protection against property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire.

An emergency communication system—typically made up of an automatic fire alarm system (as described above) and a life safety communication system that may include an autonomous control unit (ACU), local operating console (LOC), voice communication, and other various interoperable communication methods—can broadcast a mass notification message. Such a system, however, does not assure protection against property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire or life safety event.

The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detectors be located throughout a protected premises following the recommendations of the 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 Guide for Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no charge to all installing dealers. This document can be found at http:// www.systemsenso r.com/appguides/. A study by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (an agency of the United States government) indicated that smoke detectors may not go off in as many as 35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are designed to provide early warning against fire, they do not guarantee warning o r protection against fire. A fire alarm system may not provide timely or adequate warning, or simply may not function, for a variety of reasons:

Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in or behind walls, on roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level or floor of a building. A second-floor detector, for example, may not sense a first-floor or basement fire.

Particles of combustion or “smoke” from a developing fire may not reach the sensing chambers of smoke detectors because:

• Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, chimneys, even wet or humid areas may inhibit particle or smoke flow.

• Smoke particles may become “cold,” stratify, and not reach the ceiling or upper walls where de tectors are located.

• Smoke particles may be bl o w n awa y fr om de t ec t ors by ai r ou tlets, such as air conditioning vents.

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

The amount of “smoke” present may be insuf ficient 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 unpredi ctable 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 rateof-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 i nstalled 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 de tectors are not so located, a developing fire may damage the alarm system, compromising its ability to report a fire.

Audible warning devices such as bells, horns, strobes, speakers and displays may not alert people if these devices are located

on the other side of closed or partly open doors or are located on another floor of a building. Any warning device may fail to alert people with a disability or those who have recently consumed drugs, alcohol, or medication. Please note that:

• An emergency communication system may take priority over a fire alarm system in the event of a life safety emergency .

• Voice messagi ng systems must be designed to me et intelligibility requirements as defined by NFPA, local codes, and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).

• Language and instructional requirements must be clearly disseminated on any local displays.

• Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures in people with conditions such as epilepsy.

• Studies have shown tha t ce rt ain people, even when they hea r a fire alarm signal, do not respond to or comprehend the meaning of the signal. Audib le devices, such as h orns and bell s, can have different tonal patterns and frequencies. It is the property owner's responsibility to conduct fire drills and other training exercises to make people aware of fire alarm signals and instruct them on the proper reaction to alarm signals.

• In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.

A life safety system will not operate without any e lectrical 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 compat ible with the control panel. It is essent ial to use only equi pment li sted for service with your control panel.

Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily disabled. For added protection against telephone line failure, backu

p radio transmission systems are recommended.

The most common cause of life safety system malfunction is inadequate maintenance. To keep the entire life safety system in excellent working order, ong oing 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 agre ement should be arranged through the local manufacturer's representative. Maintenance should be scheduled as required by Nat ional and /or lo cal fire codes and should be performed by authorized professional life safety system installers only. Adequate written records of all inspections should be kept.

Installation Precautions

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

WARNING - Several different sources of power can be connected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all sources of

power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to install, service, or operate this unit until manuals are read and understood.

CAUTION - System Re-acceptance Test after Software Changes: To ensure proper system op eration, 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 affect ed by a change must be 10 0% tested. In addition, to ensure that other operations are not inadvertently affected, at least 10% of initi ating devic es that are no t 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 (non-condensing) 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 immu ne from lightning transients and interference, proper grounding will reduce susceptibility . Overhead or out side aerial wiring is not recommended, due to an increased susceptibility to nearby lightning st rikes. Consult with the Technical Se rvices 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, tr ansformer, or 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.

Units with a touchscreen display should be cleaned with a dry, clean, lint free/microfiber cloth. If additio nal cleaning is required, apply a small amount of Isopropyl alcohol to the cloth and wipe clean. Do not use detergents, solvents, or water for cleaning. Do not spray liquid directly ont o th e dis p la y.

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.

2.4 Magnetic Sensors

Magnets must have a holding strength of 10 lbs or greater. Use either the north or south pole of the magnet to activate sensors.

2.4.1 Mesh Formation Magnetic Sensor

The mesh formation magnetic sensor (refer to Figure 2.2) transitions the gateway in and out of mesh formation mode. The initial activation of the sensor puts the gateway in mesh formation mode (as long as it contains a profile). A subsequent activation of the magnetic sensor transitions the gateway out of mesh formation and into the initial mesh restructuring and normal mode. The gateway can be placed back into mesh formation mode by activating the magnet sensor once again. The LED next to the profile magnet sensor turns on green for ½ a second when the sensor is activated..

2.4.2 Magnetic Sensor

The square magnetic sensor can be used to start a communication session with SWIFT Tools. See Section A.3 on page 58 for more information.

2.5 LED Indicators

The two LEDs on the gateway blink in the same pattern to allow the LED to be viewed from any angle. LED patterns are explained in Appendix D.

2.6 Installing the Gateway

2.6.1 Before Installing

Preparation

The gateway requires three consecutive SLC addresses for all FACPs except the ES Series, which requires only the one base address. Set the base address using the rotary dials on the gateway prior to installa tion. Ensure the address and the next two addresses on the SLC loop are available.

The base address uses the following configuration parameters:

• Module Type: Monitor Module

• Type Code Label: Wireless Gateway (for ES Series panels: Wireless = True)

The gateway does not cause any alarms at this address, but the SLC point is used for supervision of the gateway. The base address +1 (not required with ES Series panels) uses the following configuration parameters:

• Module Type: Monitor Module

• Type Code Label:

Tamper

This address is a latching supervisory condition that goes active whenever a wireless detector in the mesh is removed from its base or a module has its cover plate removed (tamper). This SLC point does not show the address of the tampered device. The ANN-80-W displays the device address information. The latching condition is cleared with a reset on the ANN-80-W.

The base address +2 (not required with ES Series panels) uses the following configuration parameters:

• Module Type: Monitor Module

• Type Code Label:

Trouble

This address is a latching or non-latching trouble condition, depending on the trouble event, that goes active whenever a wireless device in the mesh is in a trouble condition. Refer to Section 3.10.3, “Event Messages”, on page 40 for the message displayed at the ANN-80-W for the trouble event. Latching troubles are cleared with a reset on the ANN-80-W.

The specific address and trouble condition is displayed on the ANN-80-W.

NOTE: When a wireless relay, wireless AV base, or wireless sync module is in use, module device count must be limited to 99 modules per loop. This includes wired and wireless modules that are on the same loop. The module address range must be within 1-99.

2.9 Operations

2.9.1 Modes of Operation

Start-up Mode

Start-up mode is a temporary mode of operation. During start-up mode a profile can be created or removed. The start-up period lasts for 10 seconds. If a particular unit contains a profile, the LEDs double blink yellow every second. If the unit does not contain a profile, the LEDs double blink red every second.

During start-up, the gateway does not provide fire protection nor does it respond to the FACP. All the three SLC addresses will be an INVALID RE PLY.

20 SWIFT® Smart Wireless Integrated Fire Technology Manual — P/N LS10036-000FL-E:J 4/13/2020

Operations W-GATE Wireless Gateway

After start-up, the gateway proceeds to the factory default mode if no profile exists. In the presence of a profile, the gateway will proceed to mesh formation mode if it was previously part of a mesh network or normal mode if it was not previously part of a mesh network.

Factory Default Mode

Factory default mode is the initial mode of the gateway. In this mode, the gateway and peripheral devices do not provide any fire protection. The gateway does not communicate with wireless detectors or modules in factory default mode. The only wireless communication in factory default mode is between the gateway and SWIFT Tools. SW IFT Tools must be within 20 feet of the gateway for proper communication. The gateway must be assigned a profile before continuing configuration.

The gateway reports “Factory Default” to the communicator display of SWIFT Tools. The gateway’s base address will be normal and the supervisory point (base address + 1) will also be normal. The trouble point (base

address + 2) will indicate an open circuit. Transitions back to Factory Default mode are not shown in the above diagram. However, any time the profile is removed from the gate-

way, it will return to Factory Default mode.

Profile Configured

The gateway enters the profile configured mode once a profile is assigned by SWIFT Tools. Profile configured mode is a temporary mode before the gateway transitions to mesh formation or normal mode.

Mesh Formation

The gateway must have a profile before entering mesh formation mode. The gateway and the peripheral devices do not provide any fire protection in this mode. The gateway enters mesh formation mode:

 after creating a profile using the mesh formation sensor.  after activating the mesh formation sensor with a magnet when the gateway contains a profile.  automatically after start-up when the gateway was previously part of a mesh.  by a command from the SWIFT Tools application.

A gateway in mesh formation mode instructs all devices in the mesh to also transition to mesh format ion mode. The gateway and all communicating devices search for new or lost devices with the same profile to join the network.

If the gateway automatically entered mesh formation after start-up, mesh formation will terminate 10 minutes after the last device has joined or after all existing devices are recovered. If new devices are found or if mesh formation was initiated by the user, then mesh formation terminates after a period of 10 minutes without any new devices joining the mesh. At any point Mesh formation can be terminated by user interaction by activating the magnet sensor again or by using the SWIFT Tools application.

The gateway reports “Mesh Formation” to the communicator display of the SWIFT Tools application. The gateway’s base address will be normal and the supervisory point (base address + 1) will also be normal. The trouble point (base

address + 2) will indicate an open circuit.

Initial Mesh Restructuring Mode

Initial mesh restructuring mode automatically runs after each mesh formation. The gateway and peripheral devices do not provide fire protection during the initial mesh restructuring mode. Mesh restructuring analyzes signal strengths between devices. The gateway designates the primary and secondary communication paths between devices that provide a redundant path for all transmissions. Mesh restructuring automatically terminates once all devices have a redundant communication path and signal strengths that meet the requirements of primary and secondary transmission paths. Any device that does not have a redundant path or meet the requirements for signal strength will report a fault.

The gateway reports “Restructuring” to the communicator display of the SWIFT Tools application. The gateway’s base address will be normal and the supervisory point (base address + 1) will also be normal. The trouble point (base

address + 2) will indicate an open circuit.

Normal Mode

Normal mode is the network’s standard operating state. The mesh network has been formed and is providing fire protection. The mesh network will continuously search for additional devices with a matching profile to join the mesh. To avoid interference, the mesh network periodically checks for adjacent mesh networks created by Honeywell. The gateway reports “Normal” to the communicator display of the SWIFT Tools application.

Rescue Mode

During normal mode, if an out-of-network device with a matching profile is discovered by the network, the gateway will trigger rescue mode in all communicating devices. All devices in communication continue to provide fire protection during rescue mode but also search for a lost or added device. Rescue mode automatic ally terminates 3 minutes after the last device is rescued and returns to normal mode. The gateway does not report troubles during rescue mode but reports “Rescue” to the communicator display of the SWIFT Tools application.

Mesh Restructuring Mode

In addition to the initial mesh restructuring mode, mesh restructuring i s automati cally perform ed after any restoration of comm unication to a device or to recover from a link failure (Class A fault). Mesh restructuring that occurs during normal mode does not generate a trouble message. During mesh restructuring, fire pro tection is provi ded by all devices that are participating in the mesh communication. The gateway reports “Restructuring” to the communicator display of the SWIFT Tools application.

Bootloader Mode

The gateway enters the bootloader mode when its firmware is being updated using SWIFT Tools. The gateway does not communicate with the F ACP during bootloader mode. The gateway reports “Bootloader” to th e communi cator dis play of the SWIFT Tools application.

Mesh Upgrade

Starting with version 3.0, firmware updates for the wireless mesh devices (detectors, monitor module, relay, etc.) can be broadcast over the mesh network. Fire protection will not be provided during the upgrade process.

SWIFT tools will be used to initiate and monitor the upgrade process. During the upgrade process each device in the mesh will appear as a no answer or invalid reply. Refer to Section E.4 on page 76 for more information on the mesh upgrade process.

Neighboring Network Scan

A Mesh network will identif y adja cent mesh networks for the purpose of avoiding communication collisions and for time synchronization to ensure end-to-end latency compliance. Fire protection will be provided during a neighboring network scan by all devices that are participating in the mesh communication. The gateway reports “Neighboring Scan” to the communicator display of the SWIFT Tools application.

2.9.2 LED Patterns

The LED indicator patterns are provided in Appendix D on page 67.

2.9.3 Lock/Unlock the Gateway

The gateway can be locked to prevent access to the magnetic sensors and to password-protect all wireless interactions. The lock function can be performed by SWIFT Tools. When SWIFT Tools is used to lock the gateway, a password must be provided for all future interactions, including unlocking the gateway. If the gateway was previously loc ked with a password from SWIFT Tools, the previous password will be applied. Use this password for all future interactions with the SWIFT Tools application.

2.9.4 Enable/Disable Max Gateway Trouble Reporting

This feature is used to determine if the permitted number of Honeywell SWIFT systems that can co-exist in range of each other without reducing overall performance has been exceeded. The default setting is On (enabled).

Completed Wireless Network

Turning off the MAX GATEWAY trouble reporting in this case prevents subsequent installation attempts from causing a trouble on a properly installed and commissioned system. When the wireless installation is completed and there are no possibilities of overlapping systems, turn off MAX GATEWAY trouble reporting when all three of the following conditions are true:

1. The entire fire system installation has been com p leted.

2. There is no MAX GATEWAY trouble indication present in the completed system.

3. The system has been inspected, tested, and approved by the authority having jurisdiction.

Possible Wireless Mesh Overlap

Generally, only four SWIFT wireless mesh gateways, along wi th their associated devices, are permitted to be installed within an overlapping wireless region. The MAX GATEWAY trouble is generated when a fifth gateway mesh is detected and the maximum limit is exceeded. When there is a MAX GATEWAY trouble present in the system, it is permit ted to turn of f MAX GATEWAY trouble reporting after completing the following evaluation method with successful results. For the result to be successful, the signal strength between devices in any one mesh must be at least 20 dB stronger than the signals seen from another mesh. If the 20 dB requirement is not met, or if the evaluation cannot be performed due to access restrictions, the number of overlapping mesh systems must be reduced to four to ensure the wireless system performs according to UL requirements. This could mean that additio nal mesh systems c annot be instal led in the area.

NOTE: Signal strength is represented using negative numbers. So, 30 is 20 dB stronger than 50. Refer for Figure 2.23 for an example.

 Evaluation Process

1. Locate all the SWIFT wireless mesh systems in the area. Access to all mesh gateways in the area and to the closest edge devices between overlapping meshes is required and the SLC addresses of the edge devices must be known. The edge devices that must be accessible are located at the ends of the dotted lines represented in Figures 2.21 and Figure 2.24. If location of devices or access to them is not possible, the addition of a fifth wireless mesh is not permitted in this area.

2. Identify the devices on the edge of each mesh.

3. Find the closest edge device from each mesh to the closest edge of the new mesh. Except as noted in Figure 2.25, four pairs of devices should be identified given there are five overlapping meshes in the area.

4. Perform a link test between each of the four device locations (Mesh 1 to Mesh 5, Mesh 2 to Mesh 5, Mesh 3 to Mesh 5, and Mesh 4 to Mesh 5) using a separate pair of test devices. Refer to Appendix B, “Site Survey” for instructions on how to perform a site survey. Use SWIFT Tools to identify the signal strength/link quality for each of the four link tests and record these values.
