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 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.

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.

If detectors are not so lo-

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 condensing) 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.

cal 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.

Operating Power

2.3 Operating Power

CAUTION! Several different sources of power can be connected to this panel. Disconnect all sources of power before servicing. The panel and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules or interconnecting cables while this unit is energized.

Primary Power Source (AC) and Earth Ground Connections

AC power connections are made inside the control panel cabinet. Primary power source for the MS-5024 is 120VAC, 60 Hz, 1.2 amps and for the MS-5024E is 220/240VAC, 50 Hz, 0.6 amps. Run a pair of wires (with ground conductor) from the protected premises main breaker box to the orange and black primary leads of the MS-5024 transformer. As per the National Electric Code, use 14 AWG (2.00 mm insulation. No other equipment may be connected to this circuit. In addition, this circuit must be provided with overcurrent protection and may not contain any power disconnect devices. A separate Earth Ground connection must be made to ensure proper panel operation and lightning and transient protection. Connect the Earth Ground wire, minimum 14 AWG (2.00 mm

), to the grounding stud indicated by the ground symbol label. Note that conduit must

not be used for an Earth Ground connection since this does not provide reliable protection.

Secondary Power Source (batteries)

Observe polarity when connecting the battery. Connect the battery cable to J1 on the main circuit board using the plug-in connector provided. The battery charger is current-limited and capable of recharging sealed lead acid type batteries. The charger shuts off when the system is in alarm or if the battery voltage drops too low (below 14.2VDC). See Appendix A for calculations of the correct battery rating. WARNING! Battery contains sulfuric acid which can

cause severe burns to the skin and eyes and can destroy fabrics. If contact is made with sulfuric acid, immediately flush the skin or eyes with water for 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.

Input Circuits

2.4 Input Circuits

The control panel has five zone input circuits. The maximum loop resistance limit for each is 100 ohms. All field wiring of each zone is supervised for opens and ground faults. Both conditions are visually and audibly annunciated as well as communicated to a Central Station.

Each zone is a Style B (Class B) Initiating Device Circuit designed to accept any Normally Open contact device and conventional 2-wire, 24 volt smoke detectors. Each zone is power-limited to 7.26 mA in standby and 42 mA in alarm. Zone 3 may also be configured as a Style D (Class A) Initiating Device Circuit. Figure 2-5 illustrates typical circuit connections. Note that all five initiating zones may be converted to Style D (Class A) by using a CAC-5F Class

A Converter module (refer to Figure 2-15 on page 30).

Zones 1-5 may be programmed as shown below. The factory default is 2-wire smoke detector for all zones.

• 2-wire Smoke Detector (factory default)

• Pull Station

• Normally Open Contact Device

• Supervisory

• Supervisory, autoresettable

Zone 3 may also be programmed as:

• Waterflow silenceable

• Waterflow nonsilenceable

Note: A maximum of five waterflow devices may be used on Zone 3 per NFPA 72.

Four-wire smoke detectors may be connected to any zone. Resettable power is provided via TB4, Terminals 3 & 4.

It is allowable to mix an assortment of device types (i.e. smoke detectors, heat detectors, pull stations, etc.) on any zone. However, this is not recommended since specific and detailed reports will not be possible. For example, the report of general fire alarm versus pull station fire alarm or smoke detector fire alarm.
