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 current edition of the National Fire
Protection Association S tandard 72 (NFPA 72), 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 shall be followed. Environments with large amounts of dus t, dirt, or hig h air
velocity require more frequent maintenance. A maintenance
agreement should be arranged through the local manufacturer's
representative. Maintenance should be scheduled monthl y or as
required by National and/or local fire codes and should be performed by authorized professional life safety system installers
only . Adequate written reco rds of all inspecti ons should be kept.

Installation Precautions
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.

1.2 Overview
Communication between the control panel and intelligent addressable monitor and control devices
takes place through a Signaling Line Circuit (SLC), which can be wired to meet the requirements of
NFPA Style 4, Style 6, or Style 7.
At least one secondary surge protector must be used with each SLC wiring pair whenever SLC
wiring runs outside the building. For detailed information refer to “Surge Suppression” on page 71.
1.3 Polling Protocols
The MS-9200UDLS, MS-9600LS, and MS-9600UDLS support LiteSpeed protocol or Classic
Loop Interface Protocol (CLIP). The MS-9200/E, MS-9600/E, MS-9200UD/E, and MS-9050UD
support Classic Loop Interface Protocol (CLIP) only.
1.3.1 Available Protocols
LiteSpeed is a communication protocol that greatly enhances the speed of communication between
analog intelligent devices. Only the MS-9200UDLS, MS-9600LS, and MS-9600UDLS are capable
of operating in LiteSpeed mode. This is the default mode of operation for these FACPs.
CLIP (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) polls devices in sequential order. All Fire-LiteFireWarden
addressable fire alarm control panels can operate in CLIP mode. This is the default mode of
operation for all other FACPs.
1.3.2 Protocol Use
Use one of the following options with LiteSpeed/CLIP mode:
1. Program all modules and detectors on an FACP as LiteSpeed.
2. Program all modules and detectors on an FACP as CLIP.
NOTE: FACPs with more than one SLC loop must be programmed for only LiteSpeed or CLIP
mode of operation. Communication protocols cannot be split between SLC loops.
When switching between polling protocols, the loop circuit must be powered down for at least 30
seconds to reset the devices.

Section 4: SLC Circuits with Isolators
!
4.1 Fault Isolator Devices
There are three isolator devices used to protect critical elements of the SLC from faults on other
SLC branches or segments.
• Fault Isolator Module I300
• Six Fault Isolator Module ISO-6
• Isolator Detector Base B224BI
A Fault Isolator Module on both sides of a device, or the combination of Isolator Base and Isolator
Module is required to comply with NFPA Style 7 requirements.
CAUTION: MAXIMUM ADDRESSABLE DEVICES
• If relay or sounder bases are not used, a maximum of 25 addressable devices can be
connected between Isolator Modules and/or Bases. When relay or sounder bases are used,
the maximum number of addressable devices that can be connected between Isolators is
reduced to seven. Isolator modules will not function properly when these limits are exceeded.
• When more than 100 Isolator Modules are connected to an SLC loop, the address capacity
of the loop is reduced by two (2) addresses for every isolator device in excess of 100.
4.1.1 Isolating an SLC Branch
The module continuously monitors the circuit connected to terminals 3(–) and 4(+). Upon powerup, an integral relay is latched on. The module periodically pulses the coil of this relay. A short circuit on the SLC resets the relay. The module detects the short and disconnects the faulted SLC
branch or segment by opening the positive side of the SLC (terminal 4). This isolates the faulty
branch from the remainder of the loop preventing a communication problem with all other addressable devices on the remaining branches (labeled “Continuation of the SLC” in the figure below).
During a fault condition, the control panel registers a trouble condition for each addressable device
which is isolated on the SLC segment or branch. Once the fault is removed, the module automatically reapplies power to the SLC branch or segment.

A variation of a Style 4 operation using an ISO-6 isolator module to protect each branch of the SLC
is shown below. Each terminal on the ISO-6 acts as a single I300 module. Refer to Figure 4.2 for
ISO-6 wiring and to Section 4.1 for limitations. Note that the ISO-6 cannot accept two wires at one
pin. Wire Style 4 SLC loops as shown in the figure below.

4.3 NFPA Style 6 SLC Using Isolator Modules
A variation of Style 6 operation using isolator modules to protect a section of the SLC. By flanking
each group of devices with an I300 fault isolator module each group is protected from faults that
may occur in the other groups. For example, a fault in Section B will not effect Sections A & C.
The isolator modules on either side of Section B will open the loop. Section A will still operate
from power on the SLC Out side and Section C will operate from the SLC Return side.
• A combination of isolator modules and isolator bases may be used.
• T-tapping is NOT allowed within the Style 6 configuration.
• Isolator modules shall be within 20 feet (6.1 meters) of device and must be enclosed in metal
conduit.
