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 warning 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 methods—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 Association 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 government) 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 “smoke” 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 away from detectors by air outlets, such as air conditioning vents.

• 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 designed to alarm 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 growth, neither type of detector is 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 alarm 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 should 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 designed 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 certain circumstances, cause seizures in people with conditions such as epilepsy.

• Studies have shown that certain people, even when they hear 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 listed 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 the entire life safety system in excellent working order, ongoing maintenance 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.

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 software 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 initiating and indicating device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate 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 subjected to lightning induced transients. Although no system is completely immune from lightning transients and interference, 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 with 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 installation, operating, and programming manuals. These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to the control panel and associated equipment. FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper installation.

2.4 Magnet Sensors

2.4.1 Profile Magnetic Sensor

The profile magnetic sensor (refer to Figure 2.2) is used to create a unique profile upon start-up. It can also be used to start profile distribution for a gateway that contains a profile. The LED next to the profile magnet sensor turns on green for ½ a second when the sensor is activated.

2.4.2 Mesh Formation Magnetic Sensor

The mesh formation magnetic sensor (refer to Figure 2.2) toggles the gateway in and out of mesh formation mode. The initial activation of the sensor puts the gateway in mesh formation mode (as long as it contains a profile). A subsequent activation of the magnetic sensor toggles the gateway out of mesh formation and into the initial mesh restructuring and normal mode. The gateway can be placed back into mesh formation mode by activating the magnet sensor once again. The LED next to the profile magnet sensor turns on green for ½ a second when the sensor is activated.

The Mesh formation magnetic sensor can also be used to create a profile on start-up for a gateway that does not already contain a profile.

2.5 LED Indicators

The two LEDs on the gateway blink in the same pattern to allow the LED to be viewed from any angle. LED patterns are explained in Appendix D.

2.8 Configuration and Programming

To successfully configure and/or program the gateway:

1. Create a profile. A profile binds a gateway and the devices in a mesh network together. The profile will contain a mesh ID that is used when forming the associations. All devices, including the gateway, require a common profile.

2. Distribute the profile. Distribute the profile to every device that will be a part of the mesh. This will enable all the devices that have that profile to form associative links when the mesh is formed.

3. Form the mesh. The mesh cannot be formed until the profile is assigned to the gateway and distributed to its devices.

These steps may be performed with or without using SWIFT Tools.

2.8.1 Configuration and Programming Without Using SWIFT Tools

This section explains the configuration of the gateway using only a magnet and a screw driver. For configuration instructions using SWIFT Tools, refer to Section 2.8.2.

There are two ways to provide a gateway with a profile without using SWIFT Tools.

 Create a new profile using the gateway.

 Assign a previously created profile to the gateway using a distributor.

Create a New Profile

To create a unique profile in the gateway without using SWIFT Tools:

SWIFT™ Wireless Manual — Form Number 95-8544-2 P/N LS10036-000XL-E:C 5/8/2015 17

XLS-WSG Wireless System Gateway Configuration and Programming

1. Start with the gateway powered off. The profile creation process is performed during start-up.

2. Power on the gateway using SLC power or external +24V. Refer to Sections 2.7.3 and 2.7.4 for more information.

3. Ensure that the gateway is in the factory default state. If the gateway is in the factory default state, both the LEDs on the gateway will double blink red every second for ten seconds. If the LEDs are yellow, refer to “Remove a Profile” on page 18.

4. Activate either magnetic sensor with a magnet within ten seconds of starting up the gateway while the double red blink is active on the gateway. Refer to Section 2.4, “Magnet Sensors” for further information on activating magnetic sensors. The LED next to the magnetic sensor emits a red light for one second when it is activated. If the ten second window is missed, power down the gateway and repeat the process starting at step 1.

A profile has been created successfully; the LEDs on the gateway will light green and stay on steady for ten seconds. The profile has been created containing a mesh ID and a default password. The default password is ‘12345’ and is needed if the gateway is locked by the FACP and later accessed by SWIFT Tools.

Immediately after successful profile creation, the gateway starts the profile distribution mode. Refer to Section 2.8.3 for further information on profile distribution mode.

Assign a Previously Created Profile Using a Distributor

Instead of creating a new profile, an existing profile can be distributed by a device with an existing profile. To distribute the existing profile:

1. Ensure that the gateway or other mesh device with the profile is set for distribution. Refer to Section 2.8.3, “Profile Distribution” or Section 3.5.2, “Distributor Mode”.

2. Bring the profile distributor within 20 feet of the gateway.

3. 10 seconds after the initial start-up, the LEDs on the gateway switch from a double red blink to a single red blink. The single red blink indicated the gateway is ready.

4. Use a magnet to activate either of the magnetic sensors. The LED will blink a single red every half-second indicating that it is searching for a profile.

When the profile is successfully received from the distributor, the LEDs on the gateway will turn on green steady for five seconds.

Remove a Profile

To remove a profile from a gateway:

1. Start with the gateway powered off. The process is performed during start-up.

2. Power on the gateway using SLC power or external +24V. Refer to Sections 2.7.3 and 2.7.4 for more information.

3. Verify the gateway is in the profile modification state. The gateway is in the profile modification state when both the LEDs on the gateway double blink yellow every second for ten seconds.

4. Activate both magnetic sensors on the gateway within ten seconds of start-up while the double yellow blink is active. If the ten second window is missed, power down the gateway and repeat the process starting at step 1.

The LEDs on the gateway will blink green every second for five seconds indicating that the profile is removed.

Create a Mesh Network

The gateway communicates with all devices in range that have a common profile and establishes communication links with all the devices. This creates a mesh network. Once a device joins the mesh, that device acts as a repeater for devices out of the range of the gateway. All devices must be

in their final mounting locations prior to initiating the mesh formation. The mesh formation is initiated by the gateway upon user activation and terminated by the gateway when all possible devices join the network or when terminated by the user.

To form a mesh network, ensure that the gateway is powered on and contains a profile. (Refer to Section 2.5 on page 12 for information on how the gateway indicates its status). Activate the “Mesh Formation” magnet sensor on the gateway. Refer to Figure 2.2 for sensor location.

The gateway will then transition to the mesh formation mode and establish communication with all the devices containing a common profile. The blink pattern on the gateway indicates that it is in mesh formation mode. At this stage, both the LEDs on the gateway will blink twice every 7 seconds.

• The first blink is green and the second blink is red when the gateway is acting as a profile distributor and forming the mesh.

• The first blink is green and the second blink is yellow when the gateway is only forming the mesh.

Mesh formation typically takes one minute for each device in the mesh. Mesh formation automatically terminates 10 minutes after the last device joins the mesh. Mesh formation can be terminated manually by the user by again activating the mesh formation magnetic sensor.

Once the mesh formation is complete, the network automatically transitions to restructure the mesh. For operating instructions, refer to Section 2.9, “Operations”.

2.8.2 Configuration and Programming Using SWIFT Tools
