2 Overview

2.1 General

The FireSpy Tracker series panels are sophisticated microprocessor-based fire alarm control systems
suited to the various needs of commercial, industrial and institutional applications. The Tracker panel can
connect to a Tracker network, a peer-to-peer network of up to 250 Tracker panels. Up to 254 points on
each Signal Line Circuit (SLC) and up to 60 conventional fire detector zones can be configured. The
distributed system architecture reduces the length of wiring needed because addressable SLC,
conventional IDC, and other modules can be located closer to where devices are installed.

The Tracker panel functions in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
Standard 72 Fire Alarm Code. Activation of a compatible detector or normally open fire alarm initiating
device will sound audible appliances, notify a remote station, annunciate a fire or alarm condition, and
energize supplementary relays.

Automatic learning features can be used to quickly configure a system. Additional system configuration
can be done through the annunciator or with a PC.

The Tracker 8000 allows up to eight SLCs for a total of 2032 addressable points. The SLCs are provided
by the use of modular SLC boards, which may be mounted in the main enclosure or remotely.

The Tracker 2000 main board (MBCLC) has two SLCs for a total of 508 addressable points.
The Tracker 1000 main board (MB) has one SLC for a total of 254 addressable points.
The Tracker T2000E combines the Tracker 2000 fire alarm control panel and the HAVE audio voice

evacuation systems into one convenient package. In addition to the features of the T2000, it also provides
conventional audio with up to 8 Class B speaker circuits (or up to 4 Class A) with amplification for 25, 50
or 100 watts. Within this manual, references to the T2000 also apply to the fire alarm portion of the
T2000E (the MBCLC main board).

2.2.1 Standalone panel

A Tracker panel consists of the main board (MB for T1000, MBC for T8000 or MBCLC for T2000) in the
main enclosure and various devices that connect to the main board (see Figure 2-2). System
programming can be done from a PC or laptop through the serial port of the panel’s communications

Contents

adapter.

2.2.2 Multiple panel network

A Tracker network consists of multiple Tracker panels with each panel connected to the network through
a communications adapter (see 2.3.3 Network Communications adapter (T8000-NCA)). Local network
devices (annunciators, etc.) connect to the RS485 outputs of each panel, as they would in a standalone
panel. Each panel provides the same capabilities as it would as a standalone panel, with the addition of
the network connection. System programming can be done from a PC or laptop through the serial port of
the panel’s communications adapter.

NOTE: A Tracker network must include at least one T8000 panel, set up as master.

3 Installation and Wiring

Installation of the panel and system accessories requires qualified, trained, and equipped personnel who
are familiar with both the fire alarm codes and installation methods for this specific equipment. Final
programming requires special familiarity with the applicable local codes. The versatility of this system
implies sensitivity to mishandling and misprogramming beyond that of less capable equipment.

3.1 System planning

3.1.1 Battery calculation

The battery provides a secondary source of power if loss of primary power occurs. The batteries need to
have enough capacity to provide power for the control panel and attached devices for a minimum standby
period followed by an alarm period. Follow the directions below to fill in the calculation template in the
appendix.

The first section calculates the current draw loads for standby and alarm conditions.

1. Fill in the quantity and calculate standby and alarm current draw totals for each system
component.

2. Fill in the quantity and calculate standby current draw totals for each detector, base, and module.

3. Use rows A, B, C and D to estimate the total alarm current for detector and module LEDs. Row B
assumes that 5% of the LEDs of these devices will be turned on.

4. Fill in the quantity and calculate total alarm current for each NAC circuit.

5. Calculate the sum columns E and F. Verify that these values are within the limits of the power
supply (see table at the bottom).

6. Verify that the current draw on each circuit is within the current limit of the circuit.

The second section calculates the battery size needed to sustain the loads for the minimum time
durations.

1. Enter the standby and alarm time according to the type of system (see table at the bottom).

2. Fill in and calculate the remaining rows above row h and calculate row i.

3. Row i shows the battery size that is needed. Select a battery that is the next available size bigger
than this value.

3.2 Control panel installation

3.2.1 Preparation

Verify that all installation materials are on-hand. Read all instructions before beginning installation.
To avoid degradation of the operating circuitry, it is recommended that the printed circuit boards be

removed during cabinet mounting, wire installation, and any other procedures that may introduce dust,
metal shavings, grease or any other foreign matter into the area of the electronic circuitry.

WARNING: In an extended system, there may be several sources of power on devices

connected into the control unit. All power must be disconnected during
installation or wiring of system components and not introduced until
installation is complete and checked out.

3.2.2 Panel location

The control unit should be located on the ground floor and easily accessible to authorized personnel. The
area should be reasonably free of dust, vibration, and moisture and a dedicated source of power must be
available. The mounted enclosure should be at a convenient height to facilitate servicing.

15

3

HSI #780-0867 FireSpy Tracker Installation Manual

Annunciators should be mounted at convenient locations, at approximately eye-level.

3.2.3 Installation

Mount the enclosure

Remove circuit boards from the enclosure before mounting to avoid damage. Refer to enclosure

Contents

documentation for detailed installation instructions.
If an auxiliary power supply or battery enclosure is being used at the panel, it may be mounted directly

below the main panel enclosure, close-nippled, with a minimum of 1 inch between enclosures for door
clearance. Wiring to these devices should be as short as possible to minimize voltage drop

Prepare for wiring

Break out the required entry points and attach any required conduit. Run the system wires and label each
adequately for future reference. The enclosure door may be temporarily removed for easier access by
removing the screw at the bottom hinge and detaching the ground wire at one end.

Note that the code requirements for power-limited wiring apply to most external runs, and the
requirements for non-power-limited wiring apply to the mains power inputs.

Install main circuit board and chassis set

For T1000, mount the main circuit board assembly (MB) onto the enclosure studs with the board oriented
as shown in Figure 3-4. Secure with #8 nuts.

For T2000 or T8000, mount the main circuit board assembly (MBC or MBCLC) onto the enclosure studs
with the board oriented as shown in Figure 3-6. Secure with #10 nuts.

For T2000E, mount the main circuit board assembly (MBCLC) onto the enclosure studs with the board
oriented as shown in Figure 3-8. (T2000E). Secure with #10 nuts.

Install optional accessories

To install accessory assemblies, follow the installation instructions provided with the accessories (see
Appendix A).

Connect AC power circuits

Wire the dedicated AC supply line to the terminals on the main circuit board as shown. The supply should
have a separate fuse or breaker at the main distribution panel so that no other electrical devices can
initiate power loss in the circuit. The grounding conductor must be at least 14AWG and 15A protection is
required. Be sure that the ground terminal is wired directly to the electrical panel ground bonding point or
another acceptable earth ground. The neutral wire must connect to the electrical panel neutral distribution
bar and not directly to ground.

WARNING Dangerous voltages appear on these terminals and associated circuitry when

the AC supply is turned on. Be sure the circuit is protected from inadvertent
energization during the assembly process.

Connect external circuits

When all remote devices have been connected to their circuits, connect these circuits to the panel (see
Figure 3-1, Figure 3-2 and Figure 3-3).

CAUTION: To maintain proper operation and supervision of detectors, indicators, and

modules, it is necessary that wiring instructions with the devices be followed
exactly, particularly with regard to in and out connections to the devices. It is
also necessary that each addressable device be properly programmed with
address and status (if applicable), and in conformance with the building
system layout. Misaddressed or miswired devices may cause severe
malfunctions and be difficult to locate.

16

HSI #780-0867 FireSpy Tracker Installation Manual

Mount the door

If the door was removed, remount it by installing the screw at the bottom hinge and reattaching the
ground wire.

For T1000, connect the cable from the annunciator on the door to the main board.
Frame and mount a copy of the operating instructions found in the appendix to the wall near the panel.

Install batteries

WARNING: Improperly connecting or shorting the battery terminals may cause severe

damage to the panel and/or batteries and might result in personal injury.

Place the required batteries in the space provided at the bottom of the control panel enclosure. If a
battery set larger than 12Ah is required, an additional battery enclosure is required.

The 24V battery set required by the panel consists of two 12V sealed lead-acid batteries connected in
series.

Attach the red wire to the red or + terminal of one battery. Attach the black wire to the black or – terminal
of the other battery. Connect a jumper wire between the remaining two battery terminals.

Apply system power

Energize the AC power lines to the panel. The AC Power LED at the annunciator should be illuminated.

3.3 Configuration and programming

Initial configuration by scanning the network and loops will give all devices their initial default parameters
and assign input and control devices to the default group. Performing the scan is recommended to assure
that all accessories are as selected and at the assigned addresses. However, most systems also require
specific programming. Refer to the programming manual for more instructions.

3.4 Check system operation

Initial acceptance testing is required before normal operation of the system. Inspection, testing, and
maintenance may be performed by the owner, if qualified, or by a qualified contractor. Service personnel
must be qualified and experienced in inspection, testing, and maintenance of fire alarm systems,
including certification by the manufacturer or a recognized authority.

Any individuals or facilities receiving transmitted alarm, supervisory, or trouble signals, and all building
occupants, must be notified before commencement and on completion of any test operations, to prevent
unnecessary response.

Initial acceptance testing includes complete visual inspection and verifying the items below. NFPA 72 or
the authority having jurisdiction may include additional requirements that must be followed.

• Correct function of the control panel in receipt of all functional inputs and operation of all signals and
auxiliary functions, and supervision of shorts, opens, grounds, power supply faults and battery faults.

• Instrument measurement of the integrity and isolation of all applicable conductors (unpowered).

o No improper shorts or opens.
o No stray voltages between installation conductors and other conductors or ground. The maximum

stray voltage must not exceed 1 volt ac/dc.

o All conductors not intentionally grounded must be isolated from ground by at least 500k ohms

(2.2M ohms for T1000). An isolation of 10k or less will cause a ground fault. An isolation of
between 10k and 500k (10k and 2.2M for T1000) might or might not cause a ground fault, or will
cause intermittent ground faults.

standby and alarm current demand measured. General alarm systems must be operated for at
least 5 minutes to demonstrate the capability of operating standby and alarm on battery power.

• Proper operation of all audible and visual trouble signals, including ground-fault indication when any
conductor is grounded.

• Proper operation of annunciators shall be verified, including fault conditions.

• Function of all detection devices.

o Smoke and thermal fire detectors must be tested per manufacturer's instructions.
o Manual fire alarm boxes and other input devices must initiate alarm.

• Function of all other sensing or initiating devices must be tested under defined operating conditions
according to manufacturer's specifications.

• Function of all supervisory devices must be tested under operating conditions as specified by the
manufacturer.

• Function of all notification devices, including visible indicators verified against approved plans and
audible output levels measured with a sound level meter.

• Alarm verification time delay and alarm response must be verified for circuits so programmed.

• Circuit supervision must be verified by creating open circuits.

• Normal and trouble operation of the DACT, if used, and connection to two separate telephone lines

must be verified.

Any change in system hardware or software must be followed by complete test of the items involved and
10% of the unchanged items up to 50 devices. Full change records must be kept, as well as the system
test records. Changes to the control panel require retest of all critical functions.

Appendix B. Compatible Devices

B.1 Startup delay for devices with alarm verification

The Tracker system includes an alarm verification feature that will result in a delay of the system alarm
signal from the indicated circuits.

The following statement applies to installations intended to meet UL864 requirements: The total delay
(control unit plus smoke detector) shall not exceed 60 seconds. No other smoke detector shall be
connected to these circuits unless approved by the local authority having jurisdiction.

The following statement applies to installations intended to meet California State Fire Marshal
requirements: For fire alarm verification feature (delay of fire alarm), the maximum retard/reset/restart
period (control unit plus detector) must be adjusted to 30 seconds or less.

For the devices below, the delay start-up time marked on the installation wiring diagram of the smoke
detector or on the installed smoke detector is to be used.

Circuits Compatible smoke detectors with alarm verification
LCU and MCCLC, Class A and B Apollo 55000-550, -650, -886

Appendix C. Wire Selection

C.1 General wiring guidelines

Induced noise (transfer of electrical energy from one wire to another) can interfere with the
communication and may cause false alarms. To avoid induced noise, follow these guidelines:

• Isolate input wiring from high current output and power wiring. Do not pull one multi conductor cable

for the entire panel. Instead, separate the wiring as follows:

• High voltage

• Notification appliance Circuits (NAC)

• Signal Line Circuits (SLC)

• Network circuits

• Relay circuits

• Do not pull wires from different zones through the same conduit. If you must run them together, do so

for as short a distance as possible or use shielded cable. Connect the shield to the terminal earth
(RS485 terminal) at the panel. You must route high and low voltages separately.

• Route the wiring around the inside perimeter of the cabinet. It should not cross the circuit board

where it could induce noise into the sensitive microelectronics or pick up unwanted RF noise from the
high speed circuits.

• High frequency noise, such as that produced by the inductive reactance of a speaker or bell, can be

reduced by running the wire through ferrite shield beads or by wrapping it around a ferrite.

• “T-tapping” and “starring” are not recommended.

C.2 Wire length calculations

Note: These calculations account for cable resistance only. Refer to the ratings of

the source circuit and installed devices to determine other parameters that
may need to be considered.

The equation below can be used to estimate maximum recommended wiring distances. The equation
assumes all of the load is at the end of the line, which is true for a single device load, but is a worst-case
scenario if you have many devices. The best case scenario, devices distributed evenly along the entire
length of the wire, results in twice the available length than the worst case scenario. A typical
configuration has a segment with no devices followed by a segment loaded with devices. The wire length
for the typical job will be somewhere between the worst case and the best case.

Eq. C-1

Worst case wire length, simple form

Vdrop
Length_w.c. = -----------------------­ Idraw x (Rcable x DF2)

Length_w.c. is the worst case length of wire (distance from panel) in feet
Vdrop is the maximum voltage drop in volts. Use 2.4 to assume 10% voltage drop on a 24V circuit.
Idraw is the total current draw of the circuit in Amps
Rcable is the total resistance of the cable in ohms

Eq. C-2 Worst case wire length, general form (for SLC circuits)

Contents

Equation Eq. C-3 calculates the voltage drop of a cable run having devices evenly distributed on the
cable, following a run with no devices. The voltage drop must not exceed the allowable voltage drop of
devices installed on the circuit, i.e. the voltage supplied to a device must be above the minimum input
voltage for the device.

Eq. C-4

Eq. C-5

Eq. C-6

Vdrop
Length_w.c. = ------------------------------------------------------­ Idraw x { Rpanel + (Rcable x DF2) + (Rdevices x DF2) }

Length_w.c. is the worst case length of wire (distance from panel) in feet
Vdrop is the maximum voltage drop in volts. Use 2.4 to assume 10% voltage drop on a 24V circuit.
Idraw is the total current draw of the circuit in Amps
Rpanel is the resistance of the circuit internal to the panel, in ohms. Use 0 if unknown.
Rdevices is the total internal resistance of the devices (usually isolators), in ohms. Use 0 if unknown.
Rcable is the total resistance of the cable in ohms

Vdrop = Idraw x { Rpanel + (Rcable x DF2) + (Rdevices x DF2) }

Rcable = 2 x Rwire x 1000 x Ltotal

Lfirst ( Ltotal – Lfirst ) x DF1
DF2 = -------- + --------------------------­ Ltotal Ltotal

Number of devices + 1
DF1 = ------------------------­ Number of devices x 2

Vdrop is the maximum voltage drop in volts
Rwire is the resistance of the wire in ohms per 1000 ft (see Table C-1)
Idraw is the total current draw of the circuit in Amps
Ltotal is the length of wire (distance from panel) in feet
Lfirst is the length of wire to the first device (distance from panel) in feet

parameters are shown here for simplicity. Refer to NEC Chapter 9, Table 8 for additional information.

C.3 Wire selection tables

NOTE: All wire lengths below assume the use of solid copper wire and worst case

loading (all load at the end of the wire run). The length shown is based on
resistance, capacitance and/or voltage drop only. Other parameters may
need to be considered, as well.
