Product description

System overview

System hardware capabilities

Hardware capabilities vary depending on cabinet size and option card configuration, but generally:

• Up to four Class A or Class B Signature signaling line circuits that support up to 250 single-address Signature devices each

• Up to 40 Class A or 48 Class B initiating device circuits (IDC). Combination systems can not exceed 40 IDC circuits total

• Up to 16 Class A or 20 Class B notification appliance

• Up to two 30-zone displays

• Up to 96 dry-contact relay

• 4.5 amps of 24 Vdc power for external notification appliances

• Battery charger capable of charging batteries rated up to 40 Ah. Maximum battery size for ULC applications is 30 Ah

• Up to eight, fully-supervised, mirrored or customized remote annunciators

Minimum system requirements

A Local Protected Premises Fire Alarm System requires only the FACP (CPU, PS6, and enclosure) with at least one SLIC, ZB16–4, or ZA8–2 card programmed with at least one audible output circuit and one alarm input circuit.

In addition to the hardware requirements of a Local system:

• Add a 2–CTM City Tie Module for an Auxiliary Fire Alarm System

• Add a DLD Dual Line Dialer Card or RPM Reverse Polarity Module for a Remote Supervising Station Fire Alarm System

• Add a DLD Dual Line Dialer Card or RPM Reverse Polarity Module for a Central Station Fire Alarm System

• Add a SIGA–REL for Releasing Device Service

monitor events. In normal mode, the control panel monitors the system for any events.

Off-normal operating mode description

The panel operates in off-normal mode any time there is an event introduced into the system. When this happens, the CPU:

• Changes the contact positions on the appropriate common relays

• Activates all common alarm outputs (alarm events only)

• Turns on the panel buzzer

• Executes the appropriate programmed output response for the input that signaled the event

• Sends a record of the event to the appropriate display queue and out the serial port

If there is no operator in attendance, the panel displays the content of the highest priority display queue containing a record.

If there is an operator in attendance, the panel displays the content of the current display queue regardless of any new events introduced into the system.

Failsafe operating mode description

The panel operates in failsafe mode when the CPU loses the ability to communicate with the PS6 and JP1 on the PS6 is in the ON position. When this happens, the power supply:

• Closes the common trouble relay contacts

• Instructs the dialer to send the default trouble message

• Monitors the system for any alarm events

If an alarm event occurs, the power supply:

• Changes the contact positions on the common alarm relay

• Turns on all conventional common alarm outputs. Signature common alarm outputs are not affected.

Normal operating mode description

The panel operates in normal mode in the absence of any alarm, supervisory, trouble, and

Programming instructions

Overview

What is a Zone?

What is an Output Group?

A Zone is a function in the system software that initiates an active response based on a single alarm event. Firewall designations, planned evacuation criteria, architectural design, and other factors all contribute to how the system designer divides the protected premises into zones.

FACP

ZONE 2

ZONE 1

ZONE 3

An Output Group is a function in the system software that establishes the correlation between input circuits and responses. When an input changes states, the condition of the input determines which response the panel runs. For example, a smoke detector initiates the Active response when it signals an alarm condition but initiates the Trouble response when removed from its base.

Programming instructions

QuickStart setup instructions

Step 1: Read this before proceeding

Note: If at any time you get an

Exception Event while programming the system, note the error code, and then contact EST Technical Services at 6411 Parkland Drive, Sarasota, FL 34243 or at 1-800-655-4497.

To clear the Exception Event, press Alarm Silence while the event is displayed. You may have to reset the panel to display the event again.

This procedure uses the AutoLearn and AutoLoop utilities to automatically configure the system. The AutoLearn utility configures the option cards. The AutoLoop utility configures the circuits on the Signature loop.

Caution: Running the AutoLearn utility deletes the existing panel programming. If you have already programmed the system, running AutoLearn requires you to re-enter everything again from the beginning.

If you have a dialer installed, the AutoLearn utility requires you to program the DLD before exiting. Be sure to have the following:

• Subscriber account numbers, telephone numbers, and transmission formats obtained from the CMS (Central Monitoring Station). Appendic C provides a list of Contact ID event codes.

• A completed copy of the DLD Programming Worksheet

(Figure 4-1).

After you have finished using the AutoLearn and AutoLoop utilities to configure the system, you can either:

• Customize the system programming

Step 2: Apply power to the system

• Go to step 11 and Save and Sync.

1. Verify that each circuit card installed in the control panel has a unique card address.

2. Apply power to the control panel and to all the remote annunciators.

After applying power, the panel CPU performs a diagnostic check in the background. You can not begin programming until this finishes and the AutoLearn option becomes available.

Customizing the system configuration

Programming instructions

You can customize the system configuration, if your requirements exceed that of the general alarm system created using the AutoLearn and AutoLoop utilities.

Before you can make any changes to the system programming, you must log onto the system to start an editing session.

The control panel has a watchdog timer that kicks you out of an editing session after a period of inactivity. If this happens, you will have to log in again to continue.

After you finish customizing the system configuration, save your changes, and then test the system. After everything checks out then Save and Sync to copy the database to the remote annunciators.

What is it you want to do This is how you do it

Make information about the installer available on the CPU/Display

AutoLearn default: No text

WARNING: Entering Edit mode (choosing

Configure on the Program menu) disables the control panel and leaves the premises unprotected until you exit Edit mode.

To start an editing session:

1. Press Menu.

2. Choose Login then enter the password required for Level 4 access.

3. Choose Program > Configure.

1. On the Configure menu, choose System > User Labels.
