SAFETY SUMMARY
This entire manual must be read and understood before installation.
Installation PrecautionsAdherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-
term reliability:
Several different sources of power can be connected to this fire alarm control unit.
WARNING
CAUTION
Disconnect all sources of power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by servicing while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to install, service, or operate this control unit until this manual is read and understood.
System Re-acceptance Test after Re-Programming: To ensure proper system operation, this system must be retested in accordance with NFPA 72 Chapter 10 after any programming change. Re-acceptance testing is also required after any addition or deletion of system components, and after any modification, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring.
All components, circuits and system operations 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 UL/FM requirements for operation at 32°-120°F (0 to 49°C) and at a relative humidity of 93% (non-condensing) @ 90°F (32.2°C). However, the useful life of the system’s standby batteries and the electronic components may be adversely effected by continuous operation at these environmental limits. Therefore, it is recommended that this system and its peripherals be installed in an environment with a nominal room temperature of 60-80°F.
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. The use of overhead or outside
aerial wiring is not recommended due to the increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes.
Consult with the Applications Engineering Department if any problems are anticipated or encountered.
Do not install electronic assemblies prior to mounting and attaching conduit for field wiring to the enclosure. Before making modifications, verify that they will not interfere with battery and printed circuit board locations. Do not over tighten screw terminals. Over tightening 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 control unit.
Follow the instructions in this manual. These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to the control unit and associated equipment. System operation and reliability depend upon proper installation.
Fire Alarm System Limitations While installing a fire alarm system may make lower insurance
rates possible, it is not a substitute for fire insurance!
An automatic fire alarm system – typically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, notification appliances, and a fire alarm control unit 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.
Any fire alarm system may fail for a variety of reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in walls, on roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors on one level also may not sense a fire on
P/N 06-236530-001 iii August 2013
Page 6
SAFETY SUMMARY (CONT.)
another level or floor of a building. A second floor detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or basement fire.
Furthermore, all types of smoke detectors, both ionization and photoelectric types, have sensing limitations. No type of smoke detector can sense every kind of fire caused by carelessness and safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson.
Notification appliances, such as bells, may not alert people if these appliances are located on the other side of closed or partly open doors or are located on another floor of a building.
A fire alarm system will not operate without electrical power. If AC power fails, the system will operate from standby batteries only for a specified time.
Rate-of-Rise heat detectors may be subject to reduced sensitivity over time. For this reason, the rate-of­rise feature of each detector should be tested by a qualified fire protection specialist as recommended in NFPA 72, Chapter 10.
Auxiliary Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible with the control unit. It is essential to use only equipment listed for service with your control unit.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premise to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily disabled.
The most common cause of fire alarm malfunctions, however, is inadequate maintenance. All devices and system wiring should be tested and maintained by professional fire alarm installers following written procedures supplied with each device. System inspection and testing should be scheduled monthly or as required by national and/or local fire codes. Adequate written records of all inspections should be kept.
GENERAL SAFETY NOTICES The following must be observed to maintain personnel safety.
The following general safety notices supplement specific warnings and cautions appearing in the manual. The safety precautions in this section must be understood and applied during operation and maintenance. This manual is to be used by trained distributors/technicians. The entire manual should be read and fully understood prior to installation.
FIRST AID
Any injury, no matter how slight, should never go unattended. Always obtain first aid or medical attention immediately.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
The following general safety precautions are to be observed at all times:
1. All electrical components associated with equipment shall be installed and grounded in accordance with NEC and local regulatory requirements.
2. Special precautionary measures are essential to prevent applying power to equipment at any time maintenance work is in progress.
3. Before working on electrical equipment, use a voltmeter to ensure that system is not energized.
4. When working near electricity, do not use metal rulers, flashlights, metallic pencils, or any other ob­jects having exposed conductive material.
5. When connecting a meter to terminals for measurement, use a voltage range higher than expected voltage to be measured.

1-1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The ARIES™ Fire Alarm/Suppression Control Unit is an intelligent control unit in a compact
housing for fire suppression system and/or fire-alarm system applications. The control unit uses
a single printed circuit board (PCB) design and a switching power supply. A keypad display
membrane (hereinafter referred to as the display) is mounted to the PCB for system status and
user operation.
The ARIES has one signaling line circuit (SLC) that can communicate with up to 255 intelligent
devices.
See Figure 1-1 for a typical fire suppression system application.
CHAPTER 1
Figure 1-1. Typical ARIES System
P/N 06-236530-001 1-1 August 2013
Page 24
The ARIES coordinates the operations of the varied components of a protected-premises fire protection or notification system. These operations include:
• Interpreting initiating signals from automatic detectors or monitor modules. Initiating signals can be any of the following:
– Automatic detector pre-alarm
– Automatic detector alarm
– Manual alarm
– Manual extinguishing-system release
– Extinguishing-system abort
– Sprinkler-system waterflow
– Sprinkler-system supervisory
– Point-specific trouble report
• Annunciating the initiating-device report, or any other system event, via the display and associated peripheral annunciation equipment
• Notifying the occupants of an emergency situation
• Activating control equipment to aid with building evacuation or to prepare an area for special-extinguishing-system discharge
• Discharging the special-extinguishing system, if necessary
• Actuating ancillary equipment to call the fire department
• Warning of any trouble condition that could inhibit alarm transmission or annunciation or whose occurrence could prevent the system from carrying out its mission.

1-4 SMARTONE DETECTORS

The ARIES uses the SmartOne™ Series of intelligent smoke and heat detectors. These detectors have their own data transceivers, micro-controllers, micro-controller memory, and algorithms that allow the detectors to determine whether a normal, pre-alarm, alarm, or trouble condition exists at their monitoring locations. Each detector continuously transmits its current status to the ARIES through the signaling line circuit, and responds to control unit polling and inquiries by the address that is set in the detector using the Handheld Programmer, P/N 74-200013-001, or using the ARIES’s display. The pre-alarm and alarm thresholds are programmable for each detector.
A blinking LED on an intelligent detector indicates communications between the detector and the control unit.

2-17 NETWORK INTERFACE CARD

The Network Interface Card (NIC) contains the circuitry for data communications between networked ARIES Control Units. One NIC is required for each networked control unit, and the control units transmit and receive messages via the RS-485 format.
The NIC supports Class-B, Style-4 or Class-A, Style-7 interconnecting wiring, and acts as a repeater to boost and regenerate the communications signals. One wire on each communications channel is an isolated, floating RS-485 transceiver and the other wire is a non­isolated, grounded RS-485 transceiver. This isolates the chassis of the networked control units to enable ground-fault detection and to eliminate ground loops.
Specifications for the NIC are provided in Table 2-3.

2-17.1 How to Install a NIC

Refer to Figure 2-33 before you install the NIC and perform the following procedure to install the NIC on the ARIES’s printed-circuit board.
CAUTION
Remove AC and DC power from the control unit before you install a NIC.
1. Slip on a wrist ground strap and connect the clip to the earth ground in the enclosure. Do not remove the NIC from its shipping carton unless you have established a common earth-ground potential among yourself, the enclosure, and the NIC’s shipping carton.
2. Remove the four screws holding the keypad / display to the main PCB. Carefully pull out the keypad/display from its connectors to the PCB and set aside in a clean, dry location.
3. Remove the NIC from its shipping carton and locate the three plastic standoffs included in the installation kit. Insert these standoffs into the three mounting holes in the PCB as shown in Figure 2-33.
4. Carefully insert the NIC into the 20-pin connector J5 and attach it to the three plastic standoffs.
5. Secure the upper left-hand corner of the NIC with the long screw and spacer supplied with the installation kit. The spacer will separate the NIC and the PCB and the screw will connect to the chassis. Do not over-tighten the screw.
6. Carefully plug the display into its receptacles on the PCB and re-attached with the four screws. Be sure that the display pins and the PCB receptacles are properly aligned.
7. Connect network wiring as shown in Paragraph 2-17.2.

CHAPTER 3
SYSTEM OPERATIONS

3-1 ARIES SYSTEM OPERATIONS OVERVIEW

This chapter addresses operation of individual and networked ARIES™ Fire Alarm/Suppression Control Unit.
The control unit uses field-programmable software. Refer to the Configuration Software User’s Guide in P/N 76-600000-008 for instructions on how to program the ARIES System.

3-2 SYSTEM OPERATION

This section instructs the end-user how to operate an ARIES Control Unit, including how to distinguish the different operating states, how to use the operator keys, and what the status indicating LEDs mean.
Refer also to the Operating Instructions, P/N 06-236406-001, that are packaged with the control unit.

3-2.1 Operating States

The control unit has two operating modes: Normal and Off-Normal. Normal Mode is characterized by the absence of any initiating signals from either automatic detectors or monitor modules, and by the absence of trouble conditions. Off-Normal Mode is triggered by system events or operator interrogation via the keypad. Off-Normal Mode operating states are listed in Table 3-1.
Table 3-1. Off-Normal Mode Operating States
Operating State Triggering Event(s)
Access-Via-Menu A operator uses the keypad to isolate initiating devices and/or outputs, list
configuration settings and the application program, adjust configuration settings, or manually initiate testing procedures.
Trouble A report of a problem that could prevent the ARIES System from proper operation.
Typical trouble signals include: Lack of response from a configured device on the signaling line circuit; Internal fault reported by a SmartOne detector; Loss of monitoring integrity of the installation conductors; Power-supply fault; and/or Loss of primary AC power.
Alarm An automatic spot-type smoke or heat detector or a high-sensitivity smoke detector
senses a fire signature that is greater than the detector's programmable alarm threshold, or when a monitor module programmed as a manual-alarm, manual­release, waterflow or general-alarm point activates.
Pre-Alarm An automatic spot-type smoke, heat detector or a high-sensitivity smoke detector
senses a fire signature that is greater than a programmable, lower-level warning threshold but less than the detector's programmable alarm threshold.
Supervisory A monitor module detects a condition such as gate-valve closure, low air pressure or
water level, or pump failure that could impair the operation of a building's sprinkler system. It also enters this state when an operator isolates any initiating or control devices or control-unit-based output circuits. This mode is primarily event-driven.

System Status LEDs
The ARIES System operation is control by events. Control-unit-based or signaling­line-circuit-based outputs are activated by user-specified operating instructions contained in the system’s event output control (EOC) program. The EOC program is triggered by any event that transitions the system from the Normal Mode to an event-driven, Off-Normal operating state.
Note: All alarm events must be annunciated by public-mode notification.

3-2.3 Operator Keys

Operator keys for the ARIES System are located on the display inside the control unit. The control unit door must be open to access the operator keys.
Figure 3-1 shows the location of the operator keys and status indicating LEDs on the display. Table 3-2 lists the names and functions of the operator keys on the display.

Table 3-2. Operator Control Keys and Functions
BUTTON FUNCTION
<ACKNOWLEDGE> The <ACKNOWLEDGE> Key allows the operator to signal the ARIES System Control
Unit that a new event currently being displayed is understood. The control unit's audible notification appliance will silence and all flashing Pre-Alarm, Alarm, Supervisory, or Trouble LEDs will light steadily when all active events have been acknowledged.
<SILENCE> Pressing the <SILENCE> Key after all current alarm events have been
acknowledged shuts off any active, silenceable control-unit-based or signaling-line­circuit-based outputs, such as notification-appliance circuits or control modules.
Note: There is a 10-second buffer period during which subsequent presses of the <SILENCE> Key are intentionally ignored. A subsequent key press will only be acted upon after at least 10 seconds have elapsed since the previous key press.
<RESET> The <RESET> Key restores the ARIES System to Normal Mode after all alarm
system events have been acknowledged and have ceased reporting alarm conditions.
<SCROLL> The <SCROLL> Key allows the operator to view all currently-active events by time
of occurrence. Also used to navigate through the menu options.
NUMERIC KEYPAD (0-9) Used to enter passwords, navigate through the menu options, and specify numeric
operating data.
<BACKSPACE> Used to exit the menu system and to delete incorrect entries.
<ENTER> Used as the <ENTER> Key for the menu system.

3-2.4 Status Indicating LEDs

Table 3-3 lists the names and functions of the system status LEDs on the display.
Table 3-3. System Status LEDs and Functions
LED COLOR FUNCTION
Power On Green A steady LED indicates primary AC power is on at acceptable levels.
An unlit LED indicates unacceptable AC power levels or AC power is disconnected.
Alarm Red A flashing LED indicates one or more unacknowledged alarm events, or that a
previously-acknowledged non-latching alarm device has issued an alarm-off report.
A steady LED indicates all alarm events and alarm-off reports have been acknowledged.
The LED turns off when the control unit is reset if all current alarm events and alarm-off messages have been acknowledged and none of the alarm-initiating devices are reporting alarms.
Pre-Alarm Yellow A flashing LED indicates unacknowledged pre-alarm events.
A steady LED indicates all current pre-alarm events have been acknowledged.
The LED turns off when the control unit receives pre-alarm-off messages from all alarm-initiating devices that had reported a pre-alarm.
Trouble Yellow A flashing LED indicates unacknowledged trouble events.
A steady LED indicates all trouble events have been acknowledged.
The LED turns off when the control unit receives trouble-off messages from all SLC or IIM devices or control-unit monitoring circuitry that had reported trouble conditions.
Supervisory Yellow A flashing LED indicates one or more unacknowledged supervisory events.
A steady LED indicates all supervisory events have been acknowledged.
The LED turns off when the control unit receives supervisory-off messages from all initiating devices that had reported supervisory conditions.
Silence Yellow A steady LED indicates the Silence Key has been pressed after all current
alarm events have been acknowledged.
The LED turns off when 1) the control unit is reset, or 2) the Silence key is pressed to toggle on any previously-silenced NACs and SLC-based modules. The Silence key will repeatedly toggle the NACs and SLC-based modules off and on and the Silence LED will track the activation state of the NACs and modules until the control unit is reset.

The following paragraphs give general operating instructions for a stand-alone system.
3-2.5.1 NORMAL OPERATION
There are no active events such as alarms or troubles during Normal Mode operation. The control unit continuously monitors all initiating devices and supervised circuits for any changes of state.
The LCD display shows the “System Status Normal” message, the time and date, and an optional user-defined custom message as shown in Figure 3-2.
Figure 3-2. Normal Operation Display
3-2.5.2 MENU OPERATION
The ARIES has a built-in menu structure. This menu structure has been implemented to aid users with system operating functions. The following paragraphs describe the menu structure, how to access the menu, menu functions, and how to exit the menu.
An operator can use menu operation to:
• Isolate initiating devices and/or outputs
• List configuration settings and the application program
• Adjust configuration settings
• Initiate manual testing procedures
An operator cannot use menu operation if:
• He is attempting to access the main menu via an RDCM while another operator already has access to the system
• Another operator already has access to the system through the configuration program’s terminal-emulation mode (Refer to the ARIES Programming Guide for information on terminal-emulation mode.)
Any of the following events cancel Menu operation:
• An alarm signal
• An operator presses the <Backspace> Key at the main menu.
• A period of 60 seconds elapses from the last pressed key.

Operation
The isolation commands prevent the ARIES Control Unit from acting upon signals from initiating devices or from issuing activation commands to control­unit-based and SLC-based outputs. The initiating devices and outputs remain operational, but are disconnected from the control unit in the sense that events reported by isolated initiating devices are ignored by the control unit and commands to activate are ignored by isolated outputs and control modules.
The list commands are used to view the set of isolated initiating devices and control-unit-based and SLC-based outputs. These commands are also used to display configuration settings for automatic initiating devices, to display the list of devices on the SLC and on the Intelligent Interface Module, and to view lower-level events that are not displayed due to the occurrence of higher-level events.
The set commands allow the installer to change the sensitivity settings for Smart-One automatic initiating devices, to address and register initiating and control devices, to activate a set of networked control units or to define global operating parameters such as Global Acknowledgement of trouble and supervisory events. These commands are also used to trigger automatic configuration routines such as AutoLearn and AutoSetup.
The test commands enable service personnel to test the SmartOne initiating devices for the ability to transmit alarm signals. You can also perform alarm­simulation tests for the system's application program and can command on control modules connected to the SLC.

The Isolate functions prevent the ARIES Control Unit from acting upon signals from initiating devices or from issuing activation commands to control unit-based and SLC-based outputs. The initiating devices and outputs remain operational, but are disconnected from the control unit in the sense that events reported by isolated initiating devices are ignored by the control unit and commands to activate are ignored by isolated outputs and control modules.
A Supervisory signal will occur after each Isolation command is executed, and will remain in effect until all Isolation commands are subsequently cancelled by their corresponding De-Isolation commands.
For Top-Level Isolate Menu Functions, refer to Figure 3-4. For the complete Isolate-Menu tree, refer to Figure 3-5.
The following paragraphs list the Isolate Menu functions.
