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 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 Guide for Proper Use
of System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no
charge to all installing dealers. A study by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (an agency of the United States
government) indicated that smoke detectors may not go off 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 detectors 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.
cated, 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 Chapter 7 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.

1.5 Circuits
The UDACT-F circuit board contains a CPU, other primary components and wiring interface connectors
1.5.1 Power Requirements
Operating voltage for the UDACT-F must be power-limited, filtered, nonresettable 21.2 to 28.2 volts. The 24 VDC
nominal operating power must be supplied by the control panel and is connected to TB1 of the UDACT-F.
Note: If the UDACT-F is installed in an MS-9200 FACP, power is provided directly through UDACT-F connector J10 which connects
via supplied ribbon cable to the MS-9200 main circuit board connector J16.
1.5.2 Communications
Communications between the UDACT-F and the host FACP is accomplished over a two-wire EIA-485 serial interface
which is power-limited and supervised by the control panel and the UDACT-F. The wiring connections are made to
the RS+, RS- and Shield terminals of TB1 on the UDACT-F.
The EIA-485 circuit cannot be T-tapped and must be wired in a continuous fashion from the control panel to the
UDACT-F and, if installed, an annunciator. The wire must be 12 AWG to 18 AWG (0.75 to 3.25 mm
2
) twisted,
shielded pair cable with a characteristic impedance of 120 ohms (+/- 20%). Limit the total wire resistance to 100
ohms on the EIA-485 circuit. Do not run cable adjacent to, or in the same conduit as, 120 VAC service, noisy electrical circuits that are powering mechanical bells or horns, audio circuits above 25 volts
, motor control circuits or
RMS
SCR power circuits.
Note: If the UDACT-F is installed in an MS-9200 FACP, the EIA-485 data line is supplied directly through UDACT-F connector J10
which connects via supplied ribbon cable to the MS-9200 main circuit board connector J16.
1.5.3 Primary and Secondary Phone Lines
Modular jacks are used to interface the primary and secondary phone lines to the public telephone network.
1.5.4 Communicator Fail Relay Driver
Relay driver output for Central Station communication failure is provided.
1.5.5 Earth Ground
Connect a separate earth ground wire to TB3 terminal 1 for transient protection. When mounted in the MS-9200 or
MS-9600, the UDACT-F receives an earth ground connection via the upper right corner mounting position.
1.6 Specifications
DC Power - TB1, Terminals 1 & 2

Telephone Requirements and Warnings
Auxiliary Output - TB3, Terminals 2 & 3
TB3 Terminal 2 = Communicator Failure. Power-limited circuit. An open collector type output, normally high,
active low which sinks up to 40 mA. TB3 Terminal 3 = 21.2 to 28.2 volts, power-limited. Use UL listed relay P/N
MR-101/C or MR-201/C with this output.
Earth Ground - TB3, Terminal 1
TB3 Terminal 1 = Earth Ground connection. Connect this terminal to building earth ground using solid minimum 12
AWG (3.25 mm
2
) wire to provide lightning protection. This connection is not required when the UDACT-F is
mounted in an MS-9200 or MS-9600 since the upper right mounting hole provides an earth ground connection.
1.7 Telephone Requirements and Warnings
1.7.1 Telephone Circuitry - PH1 & PH2
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) = 0.6B
AC Impedance 10.0 Mega Ohm
Complies with FCC Part 68
Mates with RJ31X Male Connector
Supervision Threshold: less than 4.0 volts for 2 minutes
The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs
on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas,
the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to
the line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company to determine the maximum REN for the
calling area.

1.7.4 For Canadian Applications
The following is excerpted from CP-01 Issue 5:
“NOTICE: The Industry Canada (IC) label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment
meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the
appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The Department does not guarantee the
equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.”
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local
telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The
customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some
situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the
supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the
telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone
lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly
important in rural areas.
CAUTION
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection
authority or electrician.

Modes and Special Functions
1.8 Modes and Special Functions
1.8.1 Normal Mode
Normal Mode is the standard mode of operation. In this mode, the UDACT-F monitors host FACP status as well as
monitoring telephone line voltage. The UDACT-F reports system status information to UL listed Central Stations.
Information transmitted includes general alarm, trouble and supervisory. It also transmits either the number of zones
or points activated or the specific point(s) activated. Specific system trouble conditions and specific UDACT-F troubles are also transmitted.
1.8.2 Program Mode
Program Mode is used to program the UDACT-F. While the UDACT-F is in the program mode, it cannot receive host
FACP status information. Refer to “Programming Instructions” on page 27, for complete programming instructions.
1.8.3 Lamp Test Mode
This mode turns on all segments of the four character display plus all LEDs on the UDACT-F.
1.8.4 Troubleshoot Mode
Troubleshoot Mode may be used for testing the telephone line wiring. Connection from the UDACT-F's modular
jacks, through RJ31X jacks and into the telephone network may be easily checked. In this mode, the keypad acts similar to a telephone touchpad.
1.8.5 Type Mode
Type Mode is used to define the specific type of device (point) used or function of a zone. This mode is also used to
disable the alarm report for any zone/point in the system. The feature which disables the zone/point alarm report
must be used for zones/points programmed into the host FACP as remote silence, reset, drill or acknowledge
switches.
1.8.6 Clear Function
When the clear function is activated, it causes the UDACT-F to immediately stop transmissions, hang-up from the
telephone network, clear out any messages that were waiting for transmission and reset.
1.8.7 Manual Test Function
The manual test function allows for a test report message to be sent to both Central Stations upon activation.

CHAPTER 2 Installation
2.1 Mounting Options
FIGURE 2-1:
ABS-8RF
The UDACT-F may be mounted in the control panel or mounted remotely in an
ABS-8RF or UBS-1F enclosure up to 6,000 feet (1,800 m) away from the control panel.
All power must be removed from the FACP before making any connections to prevent
circuit damage. The EIA-485 serial interface is connected between the control panel
and UDACT-F using twisted, shielded pair wire. Power should be wired from the control panel's 24 VDC (nominal) filtered, nonresettable output to TB1 on the UDACT-F
(except when mounted in the MS-9200).
2.2 Panel Mounting
2.2.1 MS-9200
The MS-9200 must have firmware with a Part Number of 73580 or higher installed to allow use of the UDACT-F.
Remove all power from the MS-9200 by disconnecting AC and batteries. Install the supplied standoffs (three nylon
and one aluminum standoff) in the appropriate holes located on the right side of the MS-9200 main circuit board as
illustrated in Figure 2-2. Using the ribbon cable supplied with the UDACT-F, connect J10 on the UDACT-F to J16 on
the MS-9200. Note that the colored edge of the ribbon cable must be oriented toward the top edge of the UDACT-F
as illustrated in Figure 2-2. Carefully seat the UDACT-F on the nylon standoffs and secure to the aluminum standoff
with the supplied screw.
The EIA-485 circuit and 24 VDC power are provided directly from connector J16 of the MS-9200. Note that a 120
ohm EOL resistor is not required on the UDACT-F EIA-485 terminals when it is installed inside the MS-9200 cabinet. The EOL resistor is required at the last device on the EIA-485 line, external to the MS-9200.
