Fire Alarm System Limitations
While a fire alarm system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for fire insurance!
An automatic fire alarm system—typically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull st ati ons, audib le warning devices, and a fire alarm control panel with remote notification capability—can provi de early warn ing of a develop ­ing fire. Such a system, however, does not assure protection against property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire.
The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detec­tors be located throughout a protected premise 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. A study by the Federal Emergency Man­agement Agency (an agency of the United S tates 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 syst em may n ot 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 behi nd 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 first­floor 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, or chimneys 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.
• 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 d evelop in dif ferent 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 prede ter­mined rate or reaches a predetermined level. Rate-of-rise heat detectors may be subject to reduced sensitivity over t ime. 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, crip­pling its ability to report a fire.
Audible warning devices such as bells 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:
• Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures in people with conditions such as epilep sy.
• Studies have shown that certain people, even when they hear a fire alarm signal, do not respond or comprehend the meaning of the signal. It is the property owner's responsi­bility to conduct fire drills and other training exercise 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 fire alarm system will not operate without any electrical power. If AC power fails, the system will operate from st and by 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 premise 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 fire alarm malfunction is inade­quate maintenance. To keep the entire fire al arm 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 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 fire alarm 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 sof tware functions known to be affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addit ion, 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 (non condensing) of 85% at 30°C (86°F) per NFPA, and 93% ± 2% at 32°C ± 2°C (89.6°F ± 1.1°F) per ULC. However, the useful life of the sys­tem's standby batteries and the electro nic components may be adversely affected by extreme temperatu re range s 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 light ­ning induced transients. Although no system is completely immune from lightning transients and interference, proper grounding will reduce susceptibility. Overhead or out side 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 ele c tronic assemblies removed from the unit.
Follow the instructions in the inst al lati on, opera ting, and pr o­gramming manuals. These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to the control panel and associated equipment. FACP operation and rel iability depend upon prop er inst allatio n.

1.3 Introduction to the Control Panel

The IFC-3030 is an intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) with features suitable for most applications. The JCPU-3030 comes with a front display/keypad option, which allows programming and viewing options at the panel.
There are two basic configuration options for the IFC-3030. It can be ordered with:
a front display/keypad, which allows programming and viewing options at the panel, or
no display keypad. This manual gives instructions using the front display/keypad.
Displayless Mode
When there is no keypad/display at the IFC-3030, the panel is controlled by remote annunciators. VeriFire™ Tools programming is required. The displayless panel has four buttons on its circuit board that are service-level switches for local operation should it become necessary. They are the only buttons, and are clearly marked with ACK for Acknowledge, SIGSIL for Signal Silence, SYSRST for System Reset, and LAMP TEST. These buttons are mainly for installer use: the operator should utilize a remote annunciator for these functions, if possible. The status indicator LEDs on the circuit board are the same as on the display/keypad (refer to "The Display/Keypad" on page 10 of this manual).
Refer to VeriFire™ Tools or the JNCA manual for information on programming without an IFC­3030 display/keypad.

A custom graphic may be displayed below the system normal message: the graphic must be entered using VeriFire™ Tools. The text “Main Menu” will overlay the graphic, if it extends into the last line of the display.

1.5.2 Event Reporting Format

The message formats used for event reporting appear at the top of the display, replacing the System Normal message. There are two basic types of message formats: point event formats, which are generated from changes in the state of SLC and panel devices, and system event formats, which are generated from system errors and troubles.
Point Events Format
When a change of state occurs to an SLC or panel point device, a message is generated to the panel that displays on the top of the LCD screen, and soft keys display available functions that may be used to handle the event. The top four lines contain the event and point information. Event counts display in the next three lines, the current time and soft key information appears after the event counts.
The format of the first line will vary slightly as follows, depending on the type of event:
Event Format (not trouble or pre­alarm)
Event Format (trouble)
Event Format (pre-alarm)
Line 1 Displays the type of event, and whether it has been acknowledged or cleared.
Line 1 Displays TROUBLE, the type of trouble, and whether it has been acknowledged or cleared.
Line 1 Displays PREALARM, the sensitivity reading and whether it has been acknowledged or cleared.

Overview Operation of the Control Panel

Section 2 Operation of the Control Panel

2.1 Overview

The control panel periodically checks for events. An event can be any change in the status of a device, a transfer of information between a device and the FACP, or a transfer of information between two devices. Some events are considered background events and are not seen by the user. The events that are of primary concern to the operator are those identified as off-normal events. An off-normal event is an event which indicates activity or change in condition that requires the attention and/or response of an operator. Examples of possible off-normal events are:
Activation or change in condition of a monitoring device such as a detector or module
System troubles, such as battery problems, device supervision problems, etc. When there are no off-normal events, the panel displays the System Normal screen (refer to Figure
2.1). When there is an off-normal event, the panel will display it (for event formats, refer to "Event Reporting Format" on page 13 ). The action required will vary according to the type of event.

2.1.1 System Normal

The system operates in System Normal mode when no alarms or troubles exist. In this mode, the control panel displays a System Normal message as follows
LAKEVIEW GENERAL HOSPITAL SYSTEM NORMAL
11:58:45A WED AUG 25, 2004
MAIN MENU
Figure 2.1 System Normal Screen
The control panel performs the following functions at regular intervals:
Polls all SLC devices and Panel Circuits to check for valid replies, alarms, troubles, circuit
integrity, and supervisory signals, etc.
Checks power supply troubles and batteries
Refreshes the panel display and updates time
Scans for any panel screen, keypad, and Control Key entries
Performs a detector automatic test operation
Tests system memory
Monitors for microcontroller failure No action is required of the operator when the panel is operating in Normal mode.

2.1.2 Acknowledging an Event

When the panel detects an off-normal event and the information is displayed on-screen, one of the
IFC-3030 Operations Manual — PN 52026:C 08/05/2005 21
Operation of the Control Panel Overview
soft keys displayed on the screen is ACKNOWLEDGE. Use this key to respond to new alarm or trouble signals. When this key is pressed, the control panel does the following:
It silences the piezo sounder on the panel if it is enabled
It transfers the event to the history buffer
If the panel is networked, it will send a network message. There are two types of acknowledge; point and block. Point acknowledge is for fire alarms: fire
alarms are acknowledged one at a time when the Acknowledge soft key is pressed. Block acknowledge is for all other types of off-normal events: these events are acknowledged all at the same time, with a single stroke to the Acknowledge soft key.
Note: If Local Control is disabled, acknowledgements can not be made by pressing the ACKNOWLEDGE soft key on the panel display. Events must be acknowledged from a preprogrammed remote location. When DCC (Display and Control Center) participation is enabled, panel acknowledgement can be performed when it is the DCC. When it is not, permission must be granted from the DCC before the panel can make an acknowledgement. Pressing the ACKNOWLEDGE soft key will automatically request permission from the DCC.
Note: If the panel is programmed for Receive Mode, events and the clearing of events must be handled one at a time: each event must be acknowledged, and each clear (whether the clear occurs automatically or as the result of a panel reset) must be acknowledged.

2.3.1 How the Control Panel Indicates a System or Point Trouble

A system or point trouble occurs when the control panel detects an electrical or mechanical fault. The panel will react differently depending on whether or not there are higher priority unacknowledged events.
When no higher priority unacknowledged events are exist, the control panel:
Produces a pulsed audible tone (if the piezo is enabled)
Activates the Trouble relay (TB3)
Flashes the
Displays a Type Code that indicates the type of device with a trouble (if a point trouble)
Displays TROUBLE in the upper left corner of the panel display and, if a point trouble, the

view additional information on the device and possibly preprogrammed text for recommended action. ( Refer to Figure 1.7 on page 17 for an example of the this screen and an explanation of its fields.)
3. Correct the condition causing the trouble. If the trouble clears, the control panel sends a Clear
Trouble message to the History buffer, installed printers and annunciators. If all troubles clear and no supervisory signals or fire alarms exist, the control panel does the
following:
Returns to Normal operation (indicated by the “System Normal” message)
Sends a “System Normal” message to the panel display, History buffer, installed printers and
annunciators
Restores troubles automatically - even if troubles are not acknowledged The soft key PROGRAM/ALTER STATUS is also displayed on this screen. A password is required

Operation of the Control Panel Pre-alarm Event

2.4 Pre-alarm Event

The Pre-alarm function is used to receive an early warning of potential or incipient fire conditions. The Pre-alarm function provides one of two settings as follows:
Alert – a non-latching setting that causes a Pre-alarm when a detector reaches its programmed Pre-alarm sensitivity threshold. Non-latching means the condition will automatically restore to normal once the detector’s sensitivity readings drop below its Pre-alarm threshold.
Action – a latching setting that causes a Pre-alarm when a detector reaches its programmed Pre-alarm level. Latching means the condition will not restore itself to normal once the detector’s sensitivity readings drop below its Pre-alarm threshold. The panel must be reset.
Alert and Action settings are set individually with detector point programming. Individual detector sensitivity threshold settings can have a value of one through nine, and are set by the programmer. A sensitivity threshold setting of zero indicates the detector does not participate in prealarm.
For more detailed information on Pre-alarm, refer to this panel’s programming manual.

2.4.1 How the Control Panel Indicates a Pre-alarm

When a detector activates a Pre-alarm, the control panel does the following if there are no higher priority unacknowledged events:
Pulses the panel sounder (if the piezo is enabled)
Flashes the

2.4.3 Interpreting Type ID Codes

The Type ID code that displays in a pre-alarm message is related to the type and function of the detector point that initiates the pre-alarm. For example, a detector with a SMOKE(PHOTO) Type ID code means that the detector is a photoelectric type detector. If the Type ID code is unfamiliar, refer to "Software Type ID Codes" on page 63.

2.9 Operation of Special System Timers, Presignal, and PAS

2.9.1 System (Panel) Timers

There are user-programmable time delays for four specific functions: Alarm Verification, AC Fail, Silence Inhibit, and Auto Silence. Refer to this panel’s programming manual for instructions on viewing or modifying these values. (They may be viewed only in programming mode.)
Alarm Verification Timer (
A timer that directs the control panel to ignore a fire alarm for a smoke detector, programmed for Alarm Verification, while the Alarm Verification Timer is counting. The timer value can be set from 0-60 seconds, and may not exceed 30 seconds for ULC installations. Table 2.3 contains a summary of how the Alarm Verification Timer works.
If this event occurs The control panel does this
A second fire alarm occurs while the Alarm Verification Timer is counting
The Alarm Verification Timer elapses and a fire alarm still exists

AC Fail Delay Timer
This timer delays the time from the start of AC failure to when the trouble is reported. The timer value may be set to 0, or from 6-12 hours. The onboard trouble relay and municipal box output will activate when the countdown is complete. Note that this panel notifies the central station communicator as soon as AC failure occurs, and the central station communicator follows its own programmed schedule for reporting the failure.

How the Panel Indicates a Presignal Alarm
When an initiating device participating in Presignal goes into alarm, the panel LCD displays a fire alarm message. ( Refer to “Fire Alarm Event” on page 23.) If a second alarm occurs while the Presignal timer is counting down, the control panel aborts the Presignal timer countdown and activates all programmed outputs. The fire alarm LED flashes and the panel sounder pulses a steady tone. The control panel latches until the alarm is corrected and the
SYSTEM RESET key is pressed to
reset the panel.
How to Respond to a Presignal Alarm
Once the Presignal timer has begun counting down, the operator has the duration of the countdown time to respond to the alarm before the control panel automatically activates all outputs with ZF0 in their zone map and CBE linkage to the alarm. The operator can reset the panel if the alarm is determined false, or press DRILL to evacuate the building immediately.

2.9.3 PAS (Positive Alarm Sequence)

PAS (Positive Alarm Sequence), used in conjun c tion with Presignal, allows a 15-second time period for acknowledging an alarm signal from a fire detection/initiating device. If the alarm is not acknowledged within 15 seconds, all programmed outputs activate. If the alarm is acknowledged within 15 seconds, the control panel will enter Presignal mode as described above.
The PAS Inhibit switch can be used to turn off the PAS delay timer when the control panel is unattended.

Releasing Zones

Appendix B Releasing Zones

Introduction

The control panel provides ten Releasing Zones (ZR00-ZR09). These are special zones that can be used for up to ten independent releasing operations. This section contains descriptions of each releasing function option and an example of how Releasing Zone options work.
For instructions on programming Releasing Functions, refer to this panel’s programming manual. Each Releasing Zone includes the following releasing options:
Option Description
Cross Zone Cross Zones let you program the control pane l to acti vate a Releasing Zone when
two or more detectors are alarmed. Cross Zone selections are:
Yes
Zone
Heat
None
Delay Timer A 0–60 second programmable delay before activating a zone. Abort Switch An Abort Switch Type Code used to abort activation of a zone. Manual Release Allows immediate zone activation by overriding the abort function, cross-zone
function, and delay timer.
Soak Timer Automatically shuts off the releasing device after a preprogrammed period of
time. Select 0001-9999 seconds for Soak Time or 0000 seconds for no Soak Time.
Two or more detectors are alarmed that are mapped to one of the ten Releasing Zones (ZR00-ZR09). Two or more detectors are alarmed that are mapped to two different Software Zones and mapped to one of the ten Releasing Zones (R0-R9). At least one smoke detector mapped to one of the ten Releasing Zones (ZR00-ZR09) is alarmed and at least one heat detector mapped to the same Releasing Zone as the smoke detector is alarmed. Cross Zones are not used.
Appendix Table B-1 Releasing Options
The Read Status function allows the operator to view the current selections for a Releasing Zone. Refer to “Releasing Zone” on page 48 for more information.

How Releasing Zones Operate

The figure below contains an illustrated example of how Releasing Zones work, using cross zone selections with four detectors and an NAC mapped to Releasing Zone 1 (listed as ZR01 in the zone map). Appendix Table B-2 lists the cross zone selections and the conditions that activate the Releasing Zone:
