SA-DACT FCC information

Cautions

• To ensure proper operation, this dialer must be installed according to the enclosed installation instructions. To verify that the dialer is operating properly and can successfully report an alarm, it must be tested immediately after installation, and periodically thereafter, according to the enclosed test instructions.

• In order for the dialer to be able to seize the phone line to report an alarm or other event when other customer equipment (telephone, answering system, computer modem, etc.) connected to the same line is in use, the dialer must be connected to

Vigilant VS1 and VS2 Technical Reference Manual v

Page 8

a properly installed RJ-31X jack. The RJ-31X jack must be connected in series with, and ahead of, all other equipment attached to the same phone line. Series installation of an RJ-31X jack is depicted in the wiring diagram. If you have any questions concerning these instructions, you should consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

Testing

When programming emergency numbers or making test calls to emergency numbers, remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call. Perform programming and testing activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evenings.

Compliance

• For equipment approved before July 23, 2001: This dialer complies with Part 68

of the FCC rules. A label attached to the dialer contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.

For equipment approved after July 23, 2001: This dialer complies with Part 68 of

the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). A label attached to the dialer contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.

• The plug and jack used to connect the dialer to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by ACTA. The dialer must be connected to a compliant RJ-31X or RJ-38X jack using a compliant cord. If a modular telephone cord is supplied with the dialer, it is designed to meet these requirements. See installation instructions for details.

• A ringer equivalence number (REN) is used to determine how many devices you can connect to a telephone line. If the total REN value for all devices connected on a telephone line exceeds that allowed by the telephone company, the devices may not ring on an incoming call. In most (but not all) areas the total REN value should not exceed 5.0. To be certain of the total REN value allowed on a telephone line, contact the local telephone company.

For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN is part of the product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits ## represent the REN without a decimal point. Example: 03 is an REN of 0.3. For earlier products the REN is listed separately.

• If the dialer is harming the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. If advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify you as soon as possible. You will also be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC, if you believe it is necessary.

• The telephone company may make changes to its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of the dialer. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

• If you are experiencing problems with the dialer, contact the manufacturer for repair or warranty information. If the dialer is harming the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the dialer until the problem is resolved.

• The dialer contains no user serviceable parts. In case of defects, return the dialer for repair.

• You may not connect the dialer to a public coin phone or a party line service provided by the telephone company.

Chapter 2: Front panel programming

Getting started

You can program the system using the command buttons on the front panel or a PC with the optional configuration utility (CU). If you plan to use the configuration utility, refer to the online help system for complete programming instructions.

What is a zone?

A zone is a collection of points that are grouped together in the project database in the same manner that the system designer divided the protected premises. Zones provide a single zonal response and are used to limit the number of event messages processed by the system. Firewall designations, planned evacuation criteria, architectural design, and other factors determine how points are grouped into zones.

What is a correlation group?

A correlation group is a collection of inputs that activate a collection of outputs. During loop configuration, input devices, zones, and events are correlated with NACs, zones, and output devices.

Output activations depend on an option called the activation count. This controls the number of input activations required to activate the group’s outputs. For example:

• If the correlation group’s activation count is 1, the activation of any input device in the group turns on every output device in the group.

• If the activation count is 3, every output device in the group is activated when 3 input devices activate.

Chapter 2: Front panel programming

A correlation group can contain any combination of input devices, output devices, NACs, and zones. Input devices, output devices, NACs, and zones can be assigned to more than one correlation group. There are 199 available correlation groups.

Note: By default, NACs, zones, and devices are assigned to correlation group 001,

except for relay and sounder bases, which are not automatically assigned to correlation groups.

What is in-suite signal silence?

In-suite signal silence is a form of automatic alarm silencing that can be enabled for correlation groups. The function is used in residential complexes to minimize the annoyance of false alarms within living quarters. When an alarm input device activates, evacuation signals activate normally. After a minute, alarms in living quarters outside the alarm zone deactivate briefly, which gives building personnel time to investigate the problem. Room and hallway evacuation signals in the alarm zone and hallway signals throughout the building remain active.

If the alarm has not been cleared within 1 to 10 minutes, or if a subsequent alarm occurs, all signals resound. The shutdown period can be adjusted at the panel. Insuite signal silence can be turned off completely at the panel by setting the Suite Signal Silence option to Off. This setting is found at Program > Advanced Program > Panel Operation.

Notes

• Only alarm events can initiate in-suite signal silence.

• Only the first alarm is silenced by in-suite signal silence. Any additional alarms sound as programmed and are not automatically silenced.

• In-suite signal silence applies only to output devices and NACs that are configured as silenceable. It cannot be used in local alarm signaling applications.

Vigilant VS1 and VS2 Technical Reference Manual 33

Page 46

Chapter 2: Front panel programming

• No special hardware is required.

• In-suite signal silence is required by Ontario Building Code 3.2.4. For instructions on programming in-suite signal silence in a typical system, see “Programming insuite signal silence” on page 83.

Programming modes

You can choose from three levels of program automation: Auto programming, incremental programming, or advanced programming. These are discussed in the following sections.

Auto programming

The Auto Program command is used to automatically configure the control panel and remote annunciators from their respective front panels.

Auto programming replaces the existing project database with a default project database based on the hardware configuration that it detects. The default project database configures the system as a general fire alarm system that activates all notification appliance circuits when any fire alarm input is activated.

Auto programming can also be used as a first step, to be followed by some advanced programming to customize individual settings. The Auto Program command lets you choose:

• Automatic zone assignments

• The event notification level to use

• Manual or automatic device and zone labeling during auto programming

• The base Follow option for relay and sounder bases

• CMS network and dialer options

Note: Auto programming a previously programmed system, overwrites the current

configuration. To auto program a panel, see “Auto programming the panel” on page 56.

Incremental programming

The Incremental Program command is used to make changes to a panel that has already been programmed. Incremental programming lets you add and label devices and zones in the existing database without affecting any other settings. Incremental programming is typically used to add or remove an additional loop of devices or a large number of devices to the system. See “Performing incremental programming” on page 64.

The Unconfigured Alarm command is used to add an additional device or several devices to a system without using the Incremental Program command. When a new

34 Vigilant VS1 and VS2 Technical Reference Manual

Page 47

Chapter 2: Front panel programming

device is added or a device is removed, the panel signals a “trouble active” event and indicates on the LCD that there is an unconfigured device. The device can then be programmed and added to the database. This method is typically used to add just a few devices. See “Adding and removing devices from programmed systems” on page

67.

Advanced programming

Advanced programming is used to apply custom programming to a new or previously programmed fire alarm system. Advanced programming lets you configure each option individually. See “Labeling zones” on page 67.

Using the programming control buttons

The following buttons are used with the LCD to program the panel.

Clearing the event history log

The panel maintains a log of 1,000 system or user events. The event record contains the event time, the event type, the event state, and the event ID. The event time is the time and date of the event activation or restoration. All of these records are stored in the panel’s history database and can be cleared (deleted) if needed.

Once the history log is cleared, all new panel events are stored in history. You might want to clear the history log in the following situations:

• When installation is complete, you can clear the history log before turning the system over to the building owner.

• If the system history log is filled with event records resulting from a faulty device, problem, or situation, you can clear the history log after the problem is addressed.

Note: When the history log is full, the oldest event is deleted when a new event is added.

To clear the event history log:

1. Press the menu button and choose Program.

2. Choose Clear History.

3. Enter a level two password.

4. Select Yes to clear history or No to leave history unchanged.

Auto programming the panel

Auto programming detects and applies default settings to installed devices, NACs, remote annunciators, and expansion cards. You can control many aspects of the process by programming the options listed in:

• “Auto programming options” on page 57

• “Dialer options” on page 59

• “NET options” on page 61

Auto programming sets up a common alarm system. After the auto programming process has finished, you can continue with advanced programming to apply any custom settings that may be required.

Caution: Auto programming replaces the current settings for devices, NACs, remote annunciators, and expansion cards with default settings.

Notes

• Before starting the auto programming sequence, set the time and date and change the default passwords. “Factory default settings” on page 35 for a list of all the settings that will be applied during auto programming.

• Auto programming places most input devices and NACs in correlation group 001. Relay and sounder bases are not automatically assigned to correlation groups. For more information on correlation groups, see “What is a correlation group?” on page 32 and “Correlation group programming” on page 79.

• Auto programming turns off the In Suite Signal Silence option for all correlation groups.

• If you choose to label devices during auto programming, devices are labeled by entering the address of the device and then labeling the device. It is important for you to have a printout of the Device Details > Serial Number report to correlate

Follow This option controls the conditions that will activate relay or sounder detector

bases. Select from the following values: Head: The base is controlled by the detector’s settings.

• The base activates when the detector goes into alarm, unless the detector is set for alarm verification.

• If the detector is set for alarm verification, the base activates when the detector goes into alarm verification. It does not restore, however, until the alarm restores.

• The base does not respond when the detector goes into prealarm no matter how the detector is configured.

• Devices with the base set to follow “Head” cannot be placed in correlation groups. When a device base is set to follow "Head," the base is removed as an output from any Correlation Groups to which it belongs.

Alarm: The base activates its relay when the detector goes into alarm. The base will not restore until the alarm event has been restored.

Alarm and verify (ALM+VFY): The base activates its relay when the detector goes into alarm verify and continues when the detector goes into alarm. The base will not restore until both events have been restored.

Alarm and prealarm (ALM+PALM): The base activates its relay when the detector goes into prealarm and continues when the detector goes into an alarm. The base will not restore until both events have been restored.

Riser: The base is triggered individually by the loop controller (sounder bases only)

None: A correlation group triggers the base. It can be applied to both relay and sounder bases and is used for relay bases configured as latched output devices.

Note: All base follow settings except “Head” and “Riser” can be activated by

correlation groups.

Correlation group programming

This section includes instructions for:

• Using fast groups

• Adding members to correlation groups

• Enabling in-suite signal silence

• Setting the activation count

• Copying members of a correlation group

• Removing all members from a correlation group

Note: To meet the UL\ULC requirement that evacuation signals activate within 10

seconds, assign sounder base detectors to “fast” correlation groups. See “Programming fast groups for sounder bases” on page 85. If you are new to correlation group programming, see “What is a zone?” on page 32.

Adding members to correlation groups

Correlation groups can include zones, NACs, devices, unconfigured alarm events, and the common trouble event. See the following procedure.

Setting a correlation group’s activation count

A correlation group’s activation count is the number of member activations that are required to activate the correlation group. The activation count is used to set up cross zoning. The following rules apply:

• The count cannot exceed the number of input members in the correlation group.

• The default value is 1.

• Input members can be zones, NACs, devices, unconfigured alarm events, or the common trouble event.

• The activation count must be 1 for correlation groups with in-suite signal silence enabled.

Programming fast groups for sounder bases

UL/ULC require alarms to sound within 10 seconds after a fire is detected. This can be difficult to achieve in large systems with hundreds of sounders, unless the sounders are properly grouped.

To address this requirement, Vigilant VS1 and VS2 systems provide 25 high priority correlation groups per loop that can activate all sounders simultaneously. These are:

• For panels with one loop only, the fast correlation groups are Groups 001 to 025

• For panels with two loops, the fast correlation groups are Loop 1: groups 001 to 025 Loop 2: groups 001 to 025 or 101 to 125 (user configurable).

In dual loop systems, you can combine devices from loop 1 and 2 in correlation groups 001 to 025, or you can separate them and use groups 101 to 125 for loop 2. See “Changing loop configuration options” on page 78.

For best performance use the fast correlation groups for bulk activations, such as entire floors and save the slower correlation groups for small sets of activations such as individual suites or hotel rooms.

Note: Be sure the Follow option for devices to be added is None, Alarm, Alarm and

Verify, or Alarm and Prealarm. Be sure the Follow option is not set to Head or Riser. If you need to run a report to check the Follow option, see “Device Details report” on page 175. If you need to change the Follow option, see “Adding and removing devices from programmed systems” on page 67.

Device programming

Each device that operates on a notification appliance circuit (NAC) or device loop has operating parameters that must be set. This includes assigning a device type and label, programming event notification, etc.

Note: Devices are programmed by entering the address of the device to be

programmed, then setting the device options. It is important to have a printout of the Device Details > Serial Number report to correlate the device address with the default label and serial number. This will make device programming much easier. See “Device Details report” on page 175.

Table 23: Programming Devices — Device options

Option Description

Zone Identifies the zone to which the device will be added.

To add the device to a zone, enter the zone number. — or — If the device will not be added to a zone, select Off.

Note: Do not mix device and zone types. For example, do not place a nonlatching

supervisory device in an alarm zone. When the supervisory device activates and an alarm event is initiated, the alarm event automatically clears when the device restores without having to reset the panel.

Label Contains the two lines of text displayed beneath the device number on the LCD.

1. Enter text for the device label (two lines of 20 characters).

2. When you have finished, choose Save.

Option Description

Printer: Yes or No. This controls whether event information is sent to the printer Coder: four-digit coded output that is played in response to alarm conditions (00-

00-00-00 to 99-99-99-99) Dialer:

Acct 1 2: Event information is sent to both dialer accounts Acct 1: Event information is sent to dialer account one Acct 2: Event information is sent to dialer account two None: Event information is not sent to the dialer NET: Yes or No. Controls whether event information is sent to the connected network CID: Contact ID event code (000 to 999)

Day sensitivity Set the daytime smoke level sensitivity to least, less, more, normal, or most.

Night sensitivity Set the nighttime smoke level sensitivity to least, less, more, normal, or most.

Day prealarm% Set the daytime prealarm percentage to Off or 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, or 90

percent. This is the amount of smoke that indicates a prealarm event before an actual alarm event is indicated. The percentage is based on the sensitivity level selected above. For example, if you select normal sensitivity and select 50 percent for prealarm, when smoke levels reach 50% of the normal smoke level required to initiate an alarm, a prealarm event will be indicated.

Night prealarm% Set the nighttime prealarm percentage to Off or 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, or 90

Base type Set to the type of base (standard, relay, isolator, or sounder) being used with the

detector.

Follow This option controls the conditions that will activate the relay or sounder detector

base. Select from the following values: Head: The base is controlled by the detector’s settings:

• The base activates when the detector goes into alarm, unless the detector is set for alarm verification.

• If the detector is set for alarm verification, the base activates when the detector goes into alarm verification. It does not restore, however, until the alarm restores.

• The base does not respond when the detector goes into prealarm no matter how the detector is configured.

Riser: The base is triggered individually by the panel (sounder bases only) None: A correlation group triggers the base. “None” can be applied to both relay

and sounder bases, and is used for relay bases configured as latched output devices.
