1 Preliminary Information
1.1 Safety messages – Please read before proceeding
People’s lives depend on your safe installation of our products. It is important to read, understand and
follow all instructions shipped with this product. The equipment described herein is listed by the NRTL
only when installed and configured in the manner described herein
It is possible to install equipment incorrectly or arrange system components and installation wiring in such
a manner that life safety functions are not properly performed and, as a result, lives may be lost. To
minimize this possibility, become familiar with the system layout and operation of the entire FireProtective Signaling System. Do not alter any mechanical or electrical features of the equipment supplied.
Become familiar with the Building Code and Fire Prevention Code or other authority having jurisdiction
requirements in the area of the installation.
The Facilities Engineer and the Safety Engineer should make selection of mounting location for this
equipment and routing of wiring. Listed below are some other important safety instructions and
precautions you should follow:
•This unit must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NFPA 72, and national and
local electrical and fire codes, under the direction of the authority having jurisdiction.
•Only authorized and competent personnel must be allowed access to panel controls or panel power
source, to limit the possibility of malfunction or failure.
•Do not connect this unit to system wiring when circuits are energized. Check field wiring lines to
ensure that voltages are not present. Warranty is void if the equipment is damaged by improperly
connected untested wiring or if fused improperly.
•The equipment must be connected to a dedicated source of reliable AC power adequate for the rating
of the system as configured. The source must be secure and properly labeled "Fire Alarm Circuit
Control".
•A suitable battery set must be used to assure required operation in case of primary power loss. The
battery set must be replaced after 4 years, or earlier if capacity is excessively reduced. The batteries
should be checked at least twice per year, or more often if required by local codes.
•Wiring used in the system must be adequate for the service and installed in accordance with
applicable codes.
•Devices used in the system and connected to the control panel must be verified compatible with the
panel.
•All effective warning speakers produce loud sounds which, in certain circumstances, may cause
permanent hearing loss. Take appropriate precautions such as wearing hearing protection.
Recommendations in OSHA Sound Level Standard (29 CFR 1910) should not be exceeded.
•After installation and completion of initial system test, provide a copy of this instruction sheet to all
personnel responsible for operation, periodic testing and maintenance of this equipment.
• After installation, ensure that all bolts and threaded joints are tightened.
• After installation and completion of initial system test, a program for periodic testing of this device
must be established. Proper periodic maintenance is required to assure operation through the life of
the system, and to determine that point at which useful life of the system or of any of its components
has been reached. Any malfunctioning units must be repaired or replaced immediately by competent,
authorized personnel. Refer to NFPA 72, local Fire Codes and the authority having jurisdiction.
•Instructions for proper response by building occupants must be developed and distributed in
accordance with the Building Code and Fire Prevention Code or other authority having jurisdiction.
•Unauthorized repair or servicing of equipment may result in degradation of performance and/or
property damage, serious injury, or death to you or others. If a malfunctioning unit is encountered, do
not attempt any field repair/retrofit of parts.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property damage, serious injury, or
death to you and others.

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 System layout
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.

2.3 System components
The Tracker is a modular system. Each module may be purchased and installed separately. Some
common system configurations are also available pre-assembled at the factory.
2.3.1 Main circuit board assembly (T1-MB, T8000-MBC, T2000-MBCLC)
The main circuit board assembly (T1-MB, T8000-MBC or T2000-MBCLC) is the core of the Tracker panel.
It contains the main board and power supply mounted on a metal chassis. The MB / MBC / MBCLC
mounts in the main panel enclosure.
The T1-MB, T8000-MBC and T2000-MBCLC are respectively referred to as MB, MBC and MBCLC in this
manual.

The main circuit board contains 4 circuits (3 for MB) that can be individually programmed to operate in the
following modes:
•NAC (steady, temporal coding, or march time coding, Gentex 1 synchronization for Commander 3
and 4, Gentex 2 synchronization for Commander 1)
• Auxiliary power supply (resettable or continuous)
• Auxiliary input
NOTE:UL864 requires audible alarm notification devices to be synchronized on a
circuit or a system basis. If using notification appliances other than Gentex
Commander 1, 3, or 4, synchronization modules must be used.
Input voltage (input mode) 24VDC
Input current draw, max (input mode), inherently power limited 5mA

The MB contains an auxiliary input/output circuit that can be used in a NAC mode or as an input. The
NAC mode can be used to activate an external NAC-driven device, such as a NAC power supply or
HAVE voice evacuation system. The AUX IO port provides alarm activation, silencing and resound
operation.
