Fire Alarm System Limitations

An automatic fire alarm system–typically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control 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 ion- izing-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.).

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

Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and alarm only when heat on their sensors increases at a predetermined rate or reaches a predetermined level. Rate-of-rise heat detectors may be subject to reduced sensitivity over time. For this reason, the rate-of-rise feature of each detector should be tested at least once per year by a qualified fire protection specialist. Heat detectors are designed to protect property, not life.

IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in the same room as the control panel and in rooms used by the system for the connection of alarm transmission wiring, communications, signaling, and/or power. If detectors are not so located, a developing fire may damage the alarm system, crippling its ability to report a fire.

Audible warning devices such as bells may not alert people if these devices are located on the other side of closed or partly open doors or are located on another floor of a building. Any warning device may fail to alert people with a disability or those who have recently consumed drugs, alcohol or medication. Please note that:

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

•Studies have shown that certain people, even when they hear a fire alarm signal, do not respond or comprehend the meaning of the signal. It is the property owner's responsibility to conduct fire drills and other training exercise to make people aware of fire alarm signals and instruct them on the proper reaction to alarm signals.

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

A fire alarm system will not operate without any electrical power. If AC power fails, the system will operate from standby batteries only for a specified time and only if the batteries have been properly maintained and replaced regularly.

Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible with the control. It is essential to use only equipment listed for service with your control panel.

Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premise to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily disabled. For added protection against telephone line failure, backup radio transmission systems are recommended.

The most common cause of fire alarm malfunction is inadequate maintenance. To keep the entire fire alarm system in excellent working order, ongoing maintenance is required per the manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA standards. At a minimum, the requirements of 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.

Installation Precautions

WARNING - Several different sources of power can be connected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all sources of power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to install, service, or operate this unit until this manual is read and understood.

CAUTION - System Reacceptance Test after Software Changes. To ensure proper system operation, this product must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 Chapter 7 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 0-49° C/32-120° F and at a relative humidity of 85% RH (noncondensing) at 30° C/86° F. However, the useful life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic components may be adversely affected by extreme temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that this system and all peripherals be installed in an environment with a nominal room temperature of 15-27° C/60-80° F.

Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indicating device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% I.R. drop from the specified device voltage.

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

Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may operate erratically or can be damaged when subjected to light- ning-induced transients. Although no system is completely immune from lightning transients and interferences, proper grounding will reduce susceptibility. Overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended, due to an increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Technical Services Department if any problems are anticipated or encountered.

Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or inserting circuit boards. Failure to do so can damage circuits.

Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling, filing, reaming, or punching of the enclosure. When possible, make all cable entries from the sides or rear. Before making modifications, verify that they will not interfere with battery, transformer, and printed circuit board location.

Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal.

Though designed to last many years, system components can fail at any time. This system contains static-sensitive components. Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling any circuits so that static charges are removed from the body. Use static-suppressive packaging

to protect electronic assemblies removed from the unit.

Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and programming manuals. These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to the control panel and associated equipment. FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper installation by authorized personnel.

Circuits

1.5Circuits

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+, RSand 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 mm2) 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 voltsRMS, motor control circuits or 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.

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 mm2) 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.

1.7Telephone Requirements and Warnings

1.7.1 Telephone Circuitry - PH1 & PH2

Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) = 0.6B

AC Impedance 10.0 Mega Ohm

When the digital communicator activates, premise phones will be disconnected.

Two separate phone lines are required. Do not connect both telephone interfaces to the same telephone line.

The digital communicator must be connected to the public switched telephone network upstream of any private telephone system at the protected premises.

An FCC compliant telephone cord must be used with this equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible RJ31X male modular plug which is Part 68 compliant.

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.

“The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination of an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the REN of all devices does not exceed 5.”

Modes and Special Functions

1.8Modes 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.

Installation

2.1Mounting 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).

2.2Panel 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.
