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.

1.5 Message Formats
This section describes the formats for system normal, device events and system events screens. For
a definition of these types of events, as well as instructions for dealing with them, refer to Section
2, "Operation of the Control Panel" in this manual.
1.5.1 System Normal Screen
The System Normal message appears at the top of the display when no off-normal events exist. It
consists of two lines, each 40 characters long. Line one is a custom network message. Line 2 is a
standard message giving the System Normal message, the time, day of the week, and date. The
Main Menu is selectable using the lower right soft key.
Line 5 indicates the current time and date.

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:

121% OF ALARM - This field gives the detector reading as it relates to its preprogrammed
alarm level value (indicated in the next line on the screen). The example above shows the
detector exceeding the alarm level by 21%.
Note: For Beam detectors in CLIP mode, the alarm value will always equal zero (0)% when it
is not in alarm or 100% when it is in alarm.
145% OF PREALARM - This field gives the detector reading as it relates to its
preprogrammed prealarm level value (indicated in the next line on the screen). The example
above shows the detector exceeding the prealarm level by 45%.
Line 12
The screen displays the Alarm and Prealarm levels that are in effect when more information is
requested. For example, if unoccupied settings are in effect, they will display.
ALARM: 6=1.66% - Six is the preprogrammed alarm level value for this detector: its
value is 1.66%, indicating the percent per foot obscuration value assigned to level 6.
PREALARM: 3=0.47% - Three is the preprogrammed alarm level value for this detector:
its value is 0.47%, indicating the percent per foot obscuration value assigned to level 3.

General Information The Main Menu
ACTION/STATUS: NONE/VERY CLEAN - This displays the maintenance status of
the device. The message that appears in this field depends on the drift compensation value. A
detector will automatically compensate for environmental contaminants and other factors over
time, until the tolerance value has been exceeded. The FACP will signal a trouble condition
when this level has been reached. Refer to the following table for messages and required
action.
Message Description
Replace/Malfunction Replace the defective detector. The detector may not
operate properly.
None/Very Clean No action necessary. The detector readings are near ideal.
None/Clean No action necessary. Although not ideal, the detector will
activate at the selected sensitivity level.
None/Fairly Clean No action necessary. The detector will activate at the
selected sensitivity level.

Line 14
PEAKS: 56% - This value represents the highest percent per foot obscuration reading taken
by this detector. It can be a historical figure, and does not necessarily represent the highest
reading for this particular alarm. Re-initializing the detector would reset this value to zero.
VERIFY COUNT: 02 - This displays the number of times the detector has gone into
alarm. This count aids in differentiating false alarms from actual alarms by showing repeated
alarm events that have come into the device. In this example, the detector has gone into alarm
two times since the verification count was begun. The FACP will signal a trouble condition
when the verify count is exceeded.
CO-OP: D100,158 - Indicates the address(es) of any detector(s) linked with the detector
that’s in alarm for Co-operative Multi-alarm Sensing. This field does not display for
Acclimate detectors, Beam detectors or Heat detectors.

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.

• Activates the System Alarm relay (TB4). It will also activate the Security (TB1) and
Supervisory (TB2) relays if their switches have been configured for alarm
• Flashes the

• Sends an Alarm message to the History buffer and installed printer and annunciators
• Latches the control panel in alarm. (You cannot return the control panel to normal operation
until you correct the alarm condition and reset the control panel)
