Fire Alarm & Emergency Communication System Limitations
While a life safety system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for life and property 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 panel (FACP) with remote notification capability—can provide early warn ing of a developing fire.
Such a system, however, does not assure protection against
property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire.
An emergency communication system—typically made up of
an automatic fire alarm system (as described above) and a life
safety communication system that may include an autonomous
control unit (ACU), local operating console (LOC), voice communication, and other various interoperable communication met hods—can broadcast a mass notification message. Such a
system, however, does not assure protection against property
damage or loss of life resulting from a fire or life safety event.
The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat
detectors be located throughout a protected premises following
the recommendations of the National Fire Protection Asso ciation
Standard 72-2002 (NFPA 72-2002), 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. This document can be found at http: //
www.systemsensor.com/appguides/. A study by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (an agency of the United
States governme nt) 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 “smok e ” from a developing fire
may not reach the sensing chambers of smoke detectors
because:
• Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, chimneys, even wet or humid areas 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 aw a y from de tectors by air
outlets, such as air conditioning vent s.
• 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 designe d to ala rm 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 growt h, neither type of detector i s
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 al arm
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 shoul d 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. If detectors are not so located, a developing fire may damage the alarm system, compromising its ability to report a fire.
Audible warning devices such as bells, horns, strobes,
speakers and displays 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:
• An emergency communication system may take priority over
a fire alarm system in the event of a life safety emergency.
• Voice messaging systems must be desi gned to meet intelligibility requirements as defined by NFPA, local codes, and
Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
• Language and instructional requirements must be clearly disseminated on any local displays.
• Strobes can, under c ertain circumstances, cause seizures in
people with conditions such as epilepsy.
• Studies have sh own that certain people, even when they he ar
a fire alarm signal, do not respond to or comprehend the
meaning of the signal. Audible devices, such as horns and
bells, can have different tonal patterns and frequencies. It is
the property owner's responsibility to conduct fire drills and
other training exercises 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 life safety 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 panel. It is essential to use only equipment
l
is
ted for service with your control panel.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises 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 life safety system malfunction is
inadequate maintenance. To keep t he entire life safety sys tem in
excellent working order , ongoing mai ntenance is required per the
manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA standards. At a minimum, the requirements of NFPA 72-2002 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 life safety system installers only. Adequate written records of all inspections
should be kept.
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:
WARNING - Several different sources of power can be
connected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all
sources of power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is
energized. Do not attempt to install, service, or operate this
unit until manuals are read and understood.
CAUTION - System Re-acceptance Test after Software
Changes: To ensure proper system operation, this product
must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 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 sof tware 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 0-49º
C/32-120º F and at a relative humidity 93% ± 2% RH (noncondensing) at 32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 3°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 its peripherals be installed in an environment with
a normal room temperature of 15-27º C/60-80º F.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initia ting and indicating device loops. Most devices cannot tol erate more than a
10% I.R. drop from the specified device voltage.
Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may
operate erratically or can be damaged when subject ed to li ght ning induced transients. Although no system is completely
immune from lightning transients and interf erence, proper
grounding will reduce susceptibility. Overhead or outside aerial
wiring is not recommended, due to an increased susceptibility
to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Technical 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, or printed circuit board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Overtightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal
contact pressure and difficulty wit h screw terminal removal.
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 inst al lati on, ope rati ng, and programming manuals. These instructions must be followed to
avoid damage to the control panel and a ssociated equipment.
FACP operation and rel iability depend upon proper inst allat ion.

This chapter provides a general description of the H-S81-HS control panel, listing the system’s
main technical features.
1.1 Architecture of the System
The H-S81-HS control panel is a high technology product created for controlling safety-related systems and equipment. It is characterized by easy configuration and programming, combined with
excellent reliability and system diagnosis. The H-S81-HS is similar to a “safety PLC” and can be
configured and programmed for carrying out integrated safety functions including fire prevention,
gas detection, burglar alarm and technological control in compliance with applicable standards. The
H-S81-HS can also interact with other control panels of the same type and with supervisory systems via both standard and proprietary protocols such as TCP/IP Ethernet, Modbus RTU, or OPC
Server.
Each system includes a power supply set, a processing unit (which is also the user interface), and
the I/O modules controlling field devices. Both the processing unit and the I/O modules are located
on 19 inch racks. There are two ways of connecting modules and field devices:
•The first solution consists in the use of termination modules equipped with a terminal block
allowing to connect the cables from field device. In this case, I/O modules are connected to the
termination modules by using a 20 way flat cable. The termination module type and the
relevant connections depend on the type of module to be terminated.
•The second solution consists in the use of multi-polar cables directly connected to bus back
through a DIN41618 connector. This solution allows for a redundant module termination. It
also allows for the termination of high current output modules, which is not possible by
adopting the first solution (S81-F5004).
The H-S81-HS system has a modular structure. The processing rack includes two CPUs and an
operator interface panel. Each CPU can be connected to a maximum of 10 racks, with up to 13 I/O
modules each, for a total amount of 130 modules. I/O modules can be installed on the racks without
any limitations, according to the requirements of the specific system under consideration.
The H-S81-HS system is a modular unit consisting of 19” 3-unit high anodized aluminum racks;
they will be installed in a metal cabinet with revolving rack and acrylic glass door. It can include a
variable number of racks (2 to 11), according to the specific needs.
The first rack is always required. It includes the Base with one or two CPUs, the operator interface
display and the keyboard. Modules can be installed from the 2nd rack on. They will be arranged by
type and number according to the requirements of the system to be protected. Besides the versions
designed to the customer's request, 3 versions with certified structure and cabinet are available for
the European market:
•H-S81-HS/10R: Base rack and up to 10 module racks, for ground floor installation W=800,
H=2100, D=800mm
Each module is connected to field devices by a flat cable and an electronic terminal block fitted on
a DIN bar at the bottom of the switchboard; alternatively, modules can be connected to field
devices by pre-wired connectors connected to electromechanical terminal blocks.
NOTE: The operating temperature inside an electronic device significantly affects the duration of
its useful life. High operating temperatures and sharp temperature increases will significantly
reduce electronic device life. It is extremely important that the environmental operating conditions
are within the allowed ranges.
WARNING: REMOVE BATTERIES
SHOULD STORAGE TEMPERATURE BE LOWER THAN -30°C OR EXCEED +60°C, REMOVE
THE LITHIUM BATTERY ON CENTRAL UNITS (S81-U1002-1 MODULES).

1.4 Safety and Availability of the H-S81-HS System
The H-S81-HS system is intended for use in applications requiring a high safety level, together
with high system availability. According to the required safety and availability levels, different
H-S81-HS system configurations can be provided.
1.4.1 Possible Configurations of the H-S81-HS System
“Mono” Configuration
This solution includes the duplicated central unit and the I/O modules in a single configuration.
General DescriptionSafety-Related Modules in the H-S81-HS System
Figure 1.4 “Duplex” Configuration
“Duplex” Configuration
This solution is characterized by a redundant configuration for both the central unit and the I/O
modules. Module redundancy increases system availability. In case of error or failure of a module
in “duplex” configuration, the broken module is automatically pu t in safety condition (OFF)
whereas the redundant one keeps operating. I/O module redundancy is possible only with safety
related modules.
1.5 Safety-Related Modules in the H-S81-HS System
This paragraph describes the measures undertaken by safety related modules in order to guarantee
the required reliability of the various applications.
1.5.1 Central Unit
The CPU features an external watchdog circuit that activates in case of failure. In standard operating conditions, the CPU cyclically tests the memory, internal voltage values and the status of RAM
lithium batteries. Should it detect any faults, the module would set in safety condition. If there is a
redundant CPU, the new CPU will carry out the monitoring functions without any interruption s.
The broken CPU can be replaced without the need of switching off the system.
Safety-Related Modules in the H-S81-HS SystemGeneral Description
Figure 1.5 Digital Input Test
Figure 1.6 Analog Input Test
1.5.2 Digital Input Modules
Safety-related digital input modules feature a circuit allowing to simulate the opening and closing
of each channel. During operation, channels are cyclically tested. It a redundant module exists, the
control panel keeps operating and gathering data from this module, guaranteeing maximum system
availability. The broken module can be replaced without the need of switching off the system.
1.5.3 4-20mA Input Modules
4-20mA safety-related input modules feature two separated measuring circuits per input channel.
The two measured current values are, hence, compared between them and in case of difference
between the two values the channel is set in failure condition. It a redundant module exists, the control panel keeps operating and gathering data from this module, guaranteeing maximum system
availability. The broken module can be replaced without the need of switching off the system.
1.5.4 Output Modules
Safety-related output modules feature two control drivers connected in series. During operation, the
output channels are cyclically tested by reversal of output status for some hundreds of microseconds. In case of difference between channel set status and the measured one, the whole module is
excluded from operation and its outputs are put in safety condition. (Shut-down) If a redundant
module exists, the control panel keeps operating and gathering data from this module, guaranteeing
maximum system availability. The broken module can be replaced without the need of switching
off the system.
General DescriptionSafety-Related Modules in the H-S81-HS System
Figure 1.7 Digital Output Test
1.5.5 Central Unit Safety Switch-off
During operation, central units cyclically test the main 25V and local 3.3V power supply voltage
values. If one of these values is not within the allowed range, a safety switch-off sequence is carried
out in order to put the whole system in safety condition. During this sequence, the following operations are carried out:
Activation of the main FAULT and SYSTEM FAULT outputs.
Deactivation of the main RUN output.
Deactivation of the RUN LED on the CPU
PANEL SHUT-OFF indication on the display
In this condition, output status is frozen. Restart the system to clear this condition.
•Allowed 25V voltage range: 18.5 - 32VDC (A warning condition is reported with voltage
values <22.5 V and >29.5.)
•Allowed 3.3V local voltage range: 3.15 - 3.6VDC (This function is carried out by an external
reset circuit with voltage values >3.15 V.)
In the configurations with redundant CPU, if the sequence is carried out only by the primary CPU,
the secondary one signals primary CPU failure and starts controlling the system without any interruption of system operation. If, instead, the sequence is carried out only by the secondary CPU, the
primary one signals secondary CPU failure and keeps carrying out its functions.
1.5.6 Central Unit Safety Shut-down
In case of critical failures during operation, the central unit will carry out a safety shut-down
sequence in order to put the whole system in safety condition. The following failures will cause a
safety shut-down:
•Error in checking memory content (Flash/Ram).
•Internal hardware failure
Restart the system to clear this condition.
In the configurations with a redundant CPU, if the sequence is carried out only by the primary
CPU, the secondary one signals primary CPU failure and starts controlling the system without any
interruption of system operation. If, instead, the sequence is carried out only by the secondary CPU,
the primary one signals secondary CPU failure and keeps carrying out its functions.
Communication Network Between Control PanelsGeneral Description
Figure 1.8 Communication Network Between Control Panels
1.6 Communication Network Between Control Panels
By using CPU Ethernet interface, the logic status of the rules (Checked/Not checked) can be
exchanged between several control panels. Control panels are divided into two categories: Master
(receiving) and Slave (transmitting). Each control panel in the network can be indifferently slave
only , master only or slave/master. Slave control panels send to Master ones all the sate changes of
the rules set as remote in master control panel. For every panel can be imported up to 999 remote
rules and can be exported up to 250 local rule. A maximum of 32 control panels can be connected
to each other in a network. Master control panels receive and process the sate changes sent from
slave control panels, and cyclically check the connection with the Slave control panels connected to
them. When the system is switched on, Master control panels request the IP address from the Slave
ones existing in the configuration. Therefore, they send them the message identification code (ID
code). This code is generated random and is dynamically changed every minute and compared with
the one included in the messages from the Slave control panel for message validation. If the code of
a received message is not valid, the message is rejected. Master control panels make a new subscribe to Slave control panels every hour, for checking the existence of any configuration changes.
If Slave control panel response is correct, the Master control panel will wait for the status changes
from Slave control panels. During operation, the Master control panel cyclically tests the efficiency
of the connection to Slave control panels, and, in case of disconnection, signals it on the display.
Signal propagation time between the various control panels may vary according to network traffic.
However, in case of dedicated networks it will not exceed two seconds. Control panel network can
be made of copper or optical fiber by using the proper converters allowing a redundant loop connection able to support a possible failure or fiber break.

1.7 Communication Protocol for Supervisory Systems
H-S81-HS systems can be connected to IRIDE supervisory system via LAN network or point-topoint serial connection. A maximum of 2 supervisors per control panel can be configured on the
LAN network, and one on Host serial port. In both cases, a dedicated protocol is used. The connection between control panels and supervisors can be made of copper, optical fiber or copper/fiber
(mixed), for meeting different needs. For using IRIDE supervisory program, please refer to the specific manual ST-021-IT.
Thanks to the program OPC Server, any Windows OPC Client applications (Scada/DCS, supervisors, control or other applications) can communicate to H-S81-HS series control panels featuring

1.9 Programming
H-S81-HS system programming is carried out through a personal computer in OFF-LINE mode by
means of a specific configuration program. After completing the configuration and checking that
the entered data are correct, data can be transferred to the central unit. Once they have been transferred, the central unit replaces the old configuration with the new one and re-initializes the system.
If there are two CPUs, the configuration is transferred to both at the same time. For using the configuration program Pro-S81, please refer to the specific manual ST-015-IT.
This chapter provides a detailed description of all the parts making up the H-S81-HS system.
2.1 Power Supply Set
The H-S81-HS control panel can be equipped with the following power supply sets:
•S81-PU001 power supply set for base plate installation.
•S81-PU002 power supply set for rack installation.
NOTE: The power supply set S81-PU002, for rack installation, can only be used in the version
with ground-floor steelwork.
2.1.1 S81-PU001 Power Supply Set
This is a power supply set to be fitted on a base plate. It consists of a maximum of 4 x 25 Watt
power supply units, PU-A0005-1 model, plus one PU-A0004-1 battery charger module able to supply a 2 or 4 ampere adjustable battery charge current. Power supply units are connected in parallel,
up to a maximum of four units amounting to a total of 16 amperes. Under normal operating conditions, a simplified test is carried out every 30 seconds in order to check the proper presence of the
batteries. A full test, instead, is carried out every hour in order to check electrical connections and
battery efficiency. During battery trickle charge, battery voltage is compensated automatically
according to the temperature. In case of mains voltage failure, batteries are automatically switched
to the load without any interruptions. Should the full charge stage exceed 24 hours, the power supply unit will signal a battery fault. In case of primary power supply failure, the system will shut batteries down when the on-load voltage is lower than 18VDC in order to avoid damaging the
batteries. The set features three open collector outputs for replicating the various types of faults to
the alarm control panel, along with a RS232 port for the connection to a supervisory system.
