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 06-236530-001iiiAugust 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.

1-4SMARTONE 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

The ARIES Control Unit has one USB communications port to act as a device for a laptop
computer being used to upload and download a system configuration or to download the
event logs.
The USB port connects to the laptop computer via a standard USB cable.
Note: When using the USB port, the ground fault circuitry is not functional. The USB port is to
be used to download configurations and operating system software only. It is not
intended to be used on a permanent basis. A ground fault will be reported if the USB cable
is connected and no communications activity has occurred for 30 minutes. Do not
connect or disconnect the USB cable while the control unit is powering up on system
startup or initializing after a new configuration upload.

2-17NETWORK 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.

2-17.1How 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
3-1ARIES 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.
3-2SYSTEM 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.
3-2.1Operating 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 StateTriggering Event(s)
Access-Via-MenuA 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.
TroubleA 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.
AlarmAn 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-AlarmAn 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.
SupervisoryA 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.
3-2.3Operator 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
BUTTONFUNCTION
<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.

Table 3-3 lists the names and functions of the system status LEDs on the display.
Table 3-3. System Status LEDs and Functions
LEDCOLORFUNCTION
Power On GreenA steady LED indicates primary AC power is on at acceptable levels.
An unlit LED indicates unacceptable AC power levels or AC power is
disconnected.
AlarmRedA 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

Custom Message
The following paragraphs give general operating instructions for a stand-alone system.
3-2.5.1NORMAL 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
3-2.5.2MENU 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.
3-2.5.2.2.1How to Isolate SLC Devices
Purpose: To prevent initiating and trouble signals from selected
SmartOne automatic detectors and monitor modules from being
processed and acted upon by the ARIES Control Unit. Also to prevent
selected SmartOne control and relay modules from carrying out
activation instructions issued by the ARIES Control Unit.
Note: An SLC device can only be isolated if it is not in either a trouble
or alarm condition.
