3.4 Main Chassis Installation

To install the main chassis

1. Install the main chassis in the BB-1024 backbox as shown in Figure 4 below, using the supplied hex-nuts.

Module Mounting Locations

4.0 Module Mounting Locations

The main chassis in a BB-1024 or BB-1072 enclosure comes pre-assembled with all power supply, main panel, and display components and boards. The expander chassis is equipped with a pre-assembled display board. The PR-300 City Tie Module or the UDACT-300A Digital Communicator may be added on the left side, as shown in Figure 8 on page 24. These modules connect directly to the dedicated P2 connection in the upper-left corner of the main

fire alarm module.

Attention: There needs to be enough display points for each circuit on an adder

module. These display points are assigned during configuration (See System Configuration on page 60.) in the order in which the adder modules are electrically installed (the order in which they have their cables connected to each other). Both the number of points available for each display type and the number of points required for each circuit adder module type are described in 5.0 Module Settings on page 25.

As good practice, it is recommended that circuit adder modules are installed in the order of detection modules (DM-1008A) followed by signal modules (SGM-1004A), followed by relay modules (RM-1008A).

To enable communication from the main fire alarm module to all of the circuit adder modules, it is necessary to remove the continuity jumper on JW6 (near P5, the circuit adder module connector) on the main fire alarm module. This jumper plug must be installed on the continuity jumper on the last installed circuit adder module. To verify the location of the continuity jumper on a particular circuit adder module see 5.0 Module Settings on page 25

Note: Only the last circuit adder module should have a jumper plug on its continuity jumper - all others must be left without a jumper plug.

4.2 BB-1072 Expansion Chassis Mounting Locations

The BB-1072 enclosure with an ECH-1048 expander chassis is equipped with two long extension cables: one for the 26-pin ribbon cable (MD-575) and one for the four-wire power cable (MD-580). Circuit adder modules are installed from right to left in two tiers (back then front). These circuit adder modules are cabled in the same way as the main chassis, except that the first module on the back tier to the right connects (via the MD-575 and MD-580 extension cables) to the second module in the main chassis. The fourth module on the front tier to the right connects (via MD-575 and MD-580 extension cables) to the third module on the first tier to the left. In other words, follow a continuous right to left, bottom to top, and back to front installation order (see Figure 7).

JW4 Jumper pins for bell cut or on Zone 3. JW5 Jumper pins for bell cut or on Zone 4. JW11 Wire these terminals to a bell cut relay (for details see QRM-1001 Bell Cut

Module Installation and Operating Instructions, LT-666).

Notes: Jumper JW6 on the main fire alarm module must be removed if there are any

adder modules installed. The SGM-1004A requires 4 display points.

5.5.2 Components

There are four green LEDs on the board, one for each signal zone. A green LED will illuminate or flash following the signal rate sent to its zone. It will be off when the system is normal and it will illuminate when a signal zone is activated. The LED does not reflect what is happening on

the signal zone, just that it is receiving data to activate that signal zone.

Note: Jumpers JW2, JW3, JW4 and JW5 are positioned on pins 2 and 3 (right two pins

with board orientation as shown above) from factory.

5.5.3 Operation

There are three modes of o peration for this module. The basic mode o f operation does not involve any bell cut relay or isolators connected to the signal zones. For this case, leave jumpers JW2, JW3, JW4 and JW5 as they come on pins 2 and 3, and do not make any connection to terminal block J11. The second mode provides bell cut operation, which allows the silencing of the bells. The third mode is use d when isolators are to be connected to the signal circuits. For further information on bell cut relays or isolato rs, please refer to the specific fire alarm panel manual or the isolator instruction manual.

5.5.4 Jumpers for the Bell Cut Mode

JW2 Place jumper over pins 1 and 2 for the ability to remotely silence the bells on Zone 1. JW3 Place jumper over pins 1 and 2 for the ability to remotely silence the bells on Zone 2. JW4 Place jumper over pins 1 and 2 for the ability to remotely silence the bells on Zone 3. JW5 Place jumper over pins 1 and 2 for the ability to remotely silence the bells on Zone 4. JW11 Wire these terminals to a bell cut relay (for details see QRM-1001 Bell Cut Module

7.2 Power-Up Procedure

1. After completing the above procedures, power-up the p anel. The gree n AC ON LED and the Common Trouble LED should illuminate, and the buzzer should sound.

2. Press the System Reset button. Since the batteries are not connected, the Battery/ Charger Trouble LED should illuminate, the trouble buzzer should sound intermittently, and the Common Trouble LED should flash.

3. Connect the batteries while observing correct polarity: the red wire is positive (+) and the black wire is negative (-). All indicators should extinguish except for the AC ON LED.

4. Configure the fire alarm control panel as described in9.0 System Configuration on page 60.

7.3 Troubleshooting

Message Description

Circuit Trouble Normally when a circuit trouble occurs, its designated trouble indicator will be

illuminated, as well as the Common Trouble indicator and Trouble buzzer. To correct the fault, check for open wiring on that particular circuit loop or see if the circuit disconnect switch is in the ON or CLOSED position. Note: disconnecting a

circuit will cause a system trouble (off-normal position).

Remote Fail The panel will display a Remote Fail for any failure reported by or failure to

communicate with a remote annunciator or other remote device.

Ground Fault The FA-1000 panel has a Common Ground Fault Detector. To correct the fault,

check for any external wiring touching the chassis or other earth ground connection.

Battery/Charger Trouble

Check for the presence of batteries and their conditions. Low voltage (below 20.4V) will cause a battery trouble. If battery/charger trouble condition persists, replace the batteries as soon as possible. If the problem still persists, main board may need to be replaced.

Message Description

System Checkout

Configuration Mode

If the Test/Config Mode LED is illuminated steadily, the system is in either configuration mode or walk test mode. If the LED is flashing, the configuration has been corrupted and has been rese t to de fault s; you must therefor e review / re-enter your configuration.

Common Trouble

If only a common trouble is indicated on the main panel and none of the above confirming trouble indicators are on, then check the following for possible fault:

i) Check for any missing interconnection wiring. ii) Check for any missing modules that are part of the configuration. iii) Check jumper positions. Particularly ensure that the continuity jumper is installed

only on the last circuit adder module in the system. iv) Check for improperly secured cabling.

CPU Fault This LED will only illuminate for a short period upon power up when system is

normal.It will illuminate steadily when there has been a major CPU failure. This indicates the system is not functioning and main board must be replaced.

A) • 16 common LED indicators • 8 Common Buttons

• 28 circuit / circuit indicators • Configuration DIP switch

8.0.1 Paper labels for buttons and indicators

Each display is supplied with laser printable labels. These labels slide into the plastic label

An adder display module is part of the ECH-1048 Expander Chassis, which adds 48

circuit / circuit indicators and disconnect switches. LED indicators may be amber, red, or green, and may illuminate continuously (steady),

or at one of two flash fates

templates on the panel. The label paper for the main display includes English and French versions (Mircom #NP-2854, NP-680). Two slide-in labels are also included for single-stage and two-stage operation. For the adder display, the labels are blank (Mircom #NP-681).

• 28 circuit disconnect DIP switches

• Fast flash: 120 flashes per minute, 50% duty cycle, for su pe rv isor y ala rm s

• Trouble flash: 20 flashes per minute, 50% duty cycle

8.1 Common Indicators

8.1.1 Buzzer

The buzzer is activated by any of the following:

• Fire alarm: steady

• Supervisory alarm: fast flash rate

• Trouble: trouble flash rate

If the buzzer turns on in response to a non-latching trouble or supervisory, it will turn off if the condition causing it to sound goes away and there is no other reason for it to be on.

8.1.2 AC ON LED

The green AC ON LED illuminates steadily while the main AC power is within acceptable levels. It turns off when the level falls below the power-fail threshold and the panel switches to standby (battery) power.

8.1.3 Common Alarm LED

Indicators, Controls, and Operation

The red Common Alarm LED illuminates steadily whenever the panel is in alarm as a result of an alarm on any initiating circuit or activation of the manual red General Alarm Button. Since all alarms are latched until the panel is reset, the LED will remain on until then.

8.1.4 Common Supervisory LED

The amber Common Supervisory LED illuminates steadily when there is a supervisory alarm in the panel resulting from any latching or non-latching supervisory circuit. The LED turns off if all non-latching supervisory circuits are restored and there are no active latching supervisory circuits. Latching supervisory alarms remain active until the panel is reset.

8.1.5 Common Trouble LED

The Common Trouble LED flashes amber at the trouble flash rate when the panel detects any trouble condition. It turns off when all non-latching troubles are cleared.

8.1.6 Remote Failure LED

The Remote Failure LED flashes amber at the trouble flash rate if the panel detects:

• Trouble at the city tie, or

• Trouble at the UDACT, or

• Communication trouble with a remote annunciator, or

• Local trouble with a remote annunciator.

It turns off once these conditions return to normal.

8.1.7 Fire Drill LED

The amber Fire Drill LED illuminates steadily while the fire drill is active.

8.1.8 Automatic Alarm Signal Cancel LED (Acknowledge)

If the panel is configured as two stage, the Automatic Alarm Signal Cancel LED illuminates steadily when the timer is cancelled by activating the Automatic Alarm Signal Cancel or Signal Silence buttons. If the Auto General Alarm timer times out and puts the panel into General Alarm, the LED turns off.

8.1.9 General Alarm LED

The red General Alarm LED illuminates steadily after the General Alarm button is pressed, a general alarm initiating circuit is activated, or the Auto General Alarm timer times out. Once the General Alarm LED turns on, it will stay active until the panel is reset.

8.1.10 Configuration / Test Mode LED

The amber Configuration / Test Mode LED illuminates steadily to indicate that the panel is in either walk test or configuration mode. If the panel is left in either mode for over an hour with no operator activity, this LED will flash at the trouble flash rate.

8.1.1 1 Auxiliary Disconnect LED

The amber Auxiliary Disconnect LED flashes at the trouble flash rate after the Auxiliary Disconnect button is pressed. It turns off after the button is pressed a second time. When on, it indicates that common alarm and common supervisory relays are not activated, and programmable relays (if disconnect is enabled) are not activated. The city tie module, if installed, is also inactive.

8.1.12 Sign al Silence LED

Indicators, Controls, and Operation

The amber Signal Silence LED flashes at the trouble flash rate when indication circuits are silenced either by the Signal Silence button or by the Auto Signal Silence timer. It turns off when the signals are re-sounded by a subsequent alarm.

Note: For Canadian installations, disable the Auto Signal Silence timer.

8.1.13 Battery/Charger Trouble LED

The Battery/Charger Trouble LED flashes amber at the trouble flash rate when the battery is either low (below 20.4 VDC) or disconnected.

8.1.14 Ground Fault LED

The Ground Fault LED flashes amber at the trouble flash rate when the Ground Fault Detector detects a ground fault on any field wiring. It turns off when the ground fault is cleared.

8.1.15 CPU Fault LED

The CPU Fault LED Indicator illuminates steadily to indicate a microprocessor failure on the main board.

8.2 Common Controls

8.2.1 System Reset Button (White)

The System Reset button resets the fire alarm control panel and all circuits:

Indicators, Controls, and Operation

• Resets all latching trouble conditions

• Resets four-wire smoke supply • Turns off all indicating circuits

• Turns off Signal Silence, Automatic Alarm Signal Cancel & General Alarm LEDs

• Stops and resets all timers • Processes inputs as new events

• Aux Disconnect is not affected • Reset cannot be activated until the Signal Silence

8.2.2 Signal Silence Button (Blue)

Pressing the Signal Silence button after the panel is in alarm turns on the Signal Silence LED and deactivates any silenceable indicating circuits. Non-Silenceable circuits are unaffected. Signals will re-sound upon any subsequent Alarm. This button does not function during any configured Signal Silence Inhibit timer period. It also does not function if indicating circuits are active as the result of a Fire Drill. In a two-stage system, the Signal Silence button silences the stage 1 and stage 2 alarms.

8.2.3 Fire Drill Button (Orange)

The Fire Drill button activates all programmed and non-disconnected indicating circuits, but does not transmit any Alarms via the city tie or common alarm relay. The Fire Drill button may be programmed to operate specific indicating circuits. The Fire Drill is cancelled by pressing the button again (toggle switch), or if the panel goes into a real Alarm.

• Resets all initiating circuits

• Turns off Fire Drill

Inhibit timer has expired

8.2.4 Automatic Alarm Signal Cancel Button (Yellow)

If the Panel is not configured for two stage operation, this button does nothing. If the panel is configured for two stage operation, pressing the Automatic Alarm Signal Cancel button while the Auto General Alarm timer is timing (there is an Alarm in the panel, but it is still in the first stage) cancels the timer and turns the Automatic Alarm Signal Cancel LED on steady amber.

8.2.5 General Alarm Button (Red)

Pressing the General Alarm button immediately sends the panel into General Alarm. It will also re-activate the signals if they have been silenced during a General Alarm initiated through a detection circuit. The General Alarm condition remains active until the panel is reset.

8.2.6 Auxiliary Disconnect Button (Orange)

Pressing the Auxiliary Disconnect button activates the Auxiliary Disconnect function. Pressing the button again deactivates the functi on .

8.2.7 Lamp Test Button (Orange)

Pressing the Lamp Test button causes all front panel indicators to illuminate and sounds the buzzer steadily. If Lamp Test is active for more than ten seconds, the Common Trouble LED is activates.

8.2.8 Alm/Sup/Tbl/Bldg Audible Sil Button (Blue)

Activation of the Alm/Sup/Tbl/Bldg Audible Sil button while the buzzer is sounding silences the buzzer. The buzzer will resound if there is a subsequent event. Pressing the button when the buzzer is not sounding has no effect.

8.3 Circuit Status Indicators

There is one pair of circuit Status LEDs for each initiating, indicating, and relay circuit. The first four indicating circuits on the main fire alar m module are part of the common indicators. All other circuits (including the first eight initiating circuits on the main fire alarm module) are arranged in columns of eight indicators numbered from one to eight. For each circuit, the upper circuit Status LED may be red or amber, and will either be steadily illuminated or flashing at either the fast flash or trouble flash rates, depending on the operation. The amber Circuit Trouble LED flashes at the trouble flash rate when active. The Status LED is used on initiating circuits only.

After the first eight initiating circuits (corresponding to the first column of circuit LED's) the circuit LEDs are configured in the same order as any adder modules. If there are insufficient display adders for the number of circuits on the panel, the last circuits will not be displayed. If there are too many displays for the number of circuits on the panel, the unassigned ones will be unused.

Indicators, Controls, and Operation

8.3.1 Alarm Circuit Indicators

The operation of alarm circuit indicators applies to initiating circuits configured as verified alarm, non-verified alarm, water-flow alarm, sprinkler alarm, or general alarm circuits.

• The Circuit Trouble LED flashes at the trouble flash rate to indicate circuit trouble

(open circuit or Style D / Class A trouble) or a disconnected circuit. It always turns off when the circuit is in alarm.

• The Circuit Status LED illuminates steady red when the circuit is in alarm. On verified

alarm circuits, sprinkler alarm, and water-flow alarm circuits, the circuit Status LED will illuminate at the fast flash rate during the pre-alarm condition. This LED will also flash at the fast flash rate while an active circuit is being un-disconnected.

8.3.2 Supervisory Circuit Indicators

The operation of supervisory circuit indicators applies to initiating circuits configured as latching or non-latching supervisory circuits.

• The Circuit Trouble LED flashes at the trouble flash rate to indicate circuit trouble (open

circuit or Class A (S tyle D) trouble) or a disconnected circuit. It always turns off when the circuit is in alarm.

• The Circuit Status LED turns on steady amber when the corresponding circuit is in

alarm. This LED will also flash at the fast flash rate while an active circuit is being reconnected.

8.3.3 Property and Building Safety Circuit Indicators

The operation of Property and Building Safety (Monitor) circuit indicators applies to initiating circuits associated with property and building safety.

• The Circuit Trouble LED flashes at the trouble flash rate to indicate circuit trouble (open

circuit or Class A (S tyle D) trouble) or a disconnected circuit. It always turns off when the circuit is in alarm.

• The Circuit Status LED turns on steady amber when the corresponding circuit is in

alarm. This LED will also flash at the fast flash rate while an active circuit is being reconnected.

8.3.4 Trouble-Only Circuit Indicators

The operation of trouble-only circuit indicators applies to initiating circuits configured as trouble-only circuits. The Circuit Trouble LED flashes at the trouble flash rate to indicate circuit trouble (open circuit or Class A (Style D) trouble) or if the circuit is disconnected. The Circuit Status LED also flashes amber at the trouble flash rate to indicate a short-circuit trouble.

8.3.5 Signal Circuit Indicators

The operation of signal circuit indicators applies to indicating circuits of any type. The Circuit Trouble LED flashes amber at the trouble flash rate to indicate short-circuit or open circuit trouble, or a disconnected circuit.

8.3.6 Relay Circuit Indicators

Relay circuit trouble indicators f lash amber at the trouble flash rate while the corresponding circuit is disconnected.

Indicators, Controls, and Operation

8.4 Circuit (Zone) Disconnect Switches

Circuit (zone) disconnect switches are provided for all initiating, indicating, and relay circuits on the fire alarm control panel. For the first four indicating circuits on the main fire alarm module, the disconnect switches consist of either a bank of DIP switches (or slide switches in "S" Version Chassis) DIP switches numbered one to eight correspond to the circuits indicated in the indicator column from top to bottom

Changing a circuit disconnect switch to the ON position bypasses the associated circuit, turns on its trouble indicator, and activates common trouble. While a circuit is disconnected, all changes in status (alarms and troubles) on that circuit are ignored. The panel does not activate disconnected indicating circuits.

Disconnecting an active latching initiating circuit such as water-flow alarm, sprinkler alarm, general alarm, and latching supervisory does not affect its status until the panel is reset. Disconnecting active non-latching initiating circuits including non-latching supervisory and trouble-only causes them to behave as if conditions returned to normal. Disconnecting an active indicating circuit immediately deactivates the circuit.

When an initiating circuit disconnect switch is returned to its normal stat e, the pane l checks the state of the circuit. If the circuit is active, the Status LED flashes for ten seconds at the fast flash rate without processing the input. If the circuit is not re-disconnected by then, it will be processed as a new input.

Disconnect switches are also used during Configuration Mode (see page 60) and Wa lk Test Mode (see page 72) as described in those sections.

8.5 Single Stage Operation

In a single stage system, all alarm inputs are treated in a similar manner. Alarm inputs include any of the following: non-verified alarm, verified alarm, sprinkler alarm, water-flow alarm, and general alarm circuits. Any of these alarm inputs occurring when the panel is not already in alarm cause the following:

Indicators, Controls, and Operation

• The buzzer sounds steadily

• If fire drill is active, it is cancelled

• The Common Alarm LED turns on

• The Common Alarm relay activates if Aux disconnect is not active

• The Auto Signal Silence timer, if configured, starts. For Canadian installations, disable

the Auto Signal Silence timer.

• The Signal Silence Inhibit timer, if configured, starts

• All non-disconnected indicating circuits programmed to the input circuits are activated

provided that Aux disconnect is not active

• Non-disconnected strobes associated with the input are activated

• Non-disconnected signals associated with the input are activated at the evacuation rate

Pressing the General Alarm button on the panel also init iat es a ge n er al alarm . Subsequent alarms when the panel is already in alarm cause the following:

• The alert buzzer sounds steadily

• If Signals have been silenced, they are resounded, the Signal Silence LED turns off, and

the Auto Signal Silence timer, if configured, is restarted. For Canadian installations, disable the Auto Signal Silence timer.

• Any additional non-disconnected strobes associated with the input are activated

continuously

• Any additional non-disconnected signals associated with the new input are activated at

the evacuation rate

8.6 Two Stage Operation

In a two stage system, alarm inputs are either first stage (alert) inputs or second stage (general alarm) inputs. First stage inputs include inputs from the following types of circuits: non-verified alarm, verified alarm, sprinkler alarm, and water-flow alarm. Second stage inputs include alarms on the general alarm circuits, activation of the General Alarm button, or expiration of the Auto General Alarm timer. Any of these alarm inputs occurring when the panel is not already in alarm cause the following:

• The buzzer sounds steadily

• If fire drill is active, it is cancelled

• The Common Alarm LED turns on

• The Common Alarm relay activates if Aux disconnect is not active

• The Auto Signal Silence timer, if configured, starts. For Canadian installations, disable

the Auto Signal Silence timer.

• The Signal Silence Inhibit timer, if configured, starts

• All Non-disconnected indicating programmed to the input are activated provided that

Aux disconnect is not active

If the alarm is a second stage alarm,

• All non-disconnected strobe circuits are activated continuously

• All non-disconnected signal circuits are activated at the evacuation rate

• The General Alarm LED turns on

If the alarm is a first stage alarm,

• Non-disconnected strobe circuits programmed to that circuit are activated continuously

Indicators, Controls, and Operation

• Non-disconnected signal circuits programmed to that circuit are activated with the alert

code (for more information see Indicating (Signal) Circuit Types on page 58)

• The Auto General Alarm timer, if configured, starts

Subsequent First Stage alarms when the panel is already in alarm, cause the following:

• The buzzer sounds steadily

• If signals have been silenced as a result of the silence button or the Auto signal silence

timer, signals are resound ed as they were before signal sile nce, the Sig nal Silence L ED turns off, and the Auto Signal Silence timer, if configured, is restarted. For Canadian installations, disable the Auto Signal Silence timer.

• If the panel is not already in General Alarm, additional non-disconnected signals

programmed to the new input are activated with the Alert Code (for more information see Indicating (Signal) Circuit Types on page 58)

• If the panel is not already in General Alarm and if the Automatic Alarm Signal Cancel

LED is on steady indicating that the Auto General Alarm timer has been acknowled ged, then the timer is restarted and the Automatic Alarm Signal Canc el LED is exting u ish ed

A second stage alarm (general alarm) when the p anel is a lready in alar m causes the following:

• The buzzer sounds steadily

• All non-disconnected signals are activated at the evacuation rate

• If the Signal Silence LED is on, it turns off and the Auto Signal Silence timer, if

configured, is restarted

• The Automatic Alarm Signal Cancel LED if on, turns off

• Alarm inputs are latching: they remain active until system reset.

Note: If the system is configured for correlations, any second stage / general alarm

condition activates all indicating circuits whether they are correlated or not.

8.7 Circuit Types

The term circuits refers to an actual electrical interface, either initiating (detection) or indicating (signal). The term zone is a logical concept for a fire alarm protected area, and will consist of at least one circuit. Often the terms zone and circuit ar e used interchangea bly, but in this manual the term circuit is used.

8.7.1 Initiating (Detection) Circuit Types

Table 8 Initiating (Detection) Circuit Types

Circuit Type Description

Indicators, Controls, and Operation

Non-Verified Alarm

Verified Alarm These alarms are verified by a reset and timing procedure, and may have pull st ations,

Water-Flow Alarm

Sprinkler Alarm An alarm for sprinkler flow sensors. These alarms are identical to normal non-verified

This is a "normal" type of alarm which may have pull stations, smoke detectors, or heat detectors attached. Any activation of these devices will immediately result in an alarm condition in the fire alarm control panel. An alarm condition causes the associated circuit Status LED and the Common Alarm LED to illuminate red.

smoke detectors, or heat detectors attached. Any activation of pull stations or heat detectors will result in an alarm condition in the fire alarm control panel within four seconds. Smoke detectors will be verified for a real alarm within 60 seconds depending upon the startup time of the smoke detectors being used. If four seconds is too long a response time for pull stations, then they should be wired separately on a non-verified alarm circuit. An alarm condition causes the associated circuit S tatus LED and the Common Alarm LED to illuminate red. Smoke detectors that incorporate a built-in alarm verification feature must not be connected to a “Verified Alarm” circuit. For such detectors, use a separately wired non-verified alarm circuit.

An alarm for water-flow sensors. These alarms are identica l to normal non-verified alarms except that any indicating circuits progra mmed to these circuits (all are by default) are non-silenceable. Also, if water-flow retard opera tion is enabled, then these circuits are sampled every one second; if ten samples are active within any 15 second interval, the water-flow alarm is confirmed and processed. An alarm condition causes the associated circuit Status LED and the Common Alarm LED to illuminate red. Note:

Do not use the retard operation with any external retarding device; maximum retard may not exceed 120 seconds .

alarms unless the water-flow retard operation is enabled. If water-flow r etard opera tion is enabled, then these circuits are sampled every one second; if ten samples are active within any 15 second interval, the sprinkler alarm is confirmed and processed. An alarm condition causes the associated circuit Status LED and the Common Alarm LED to illuminate red.

Note: Do not use the retard operation with any external retarding device; maximum retard may not exceed 120 sec onds.

General Alarm These alarms provide remote general alarm such as for remote key switches. In a two

stage system, these inputs perform exactly the same function as the front panel or remote annunciator general alarm button. In a single stag e system, these inputs act the same as non-verified alarms, but if correlations are enabled, general alarm initiating circuits are correlated to all indicating circuits.

Non-Latching Supervisory

Latching Supervisory

These alarms are for supervisory devices. An activation on these circuits will cause the Circuit Status LED and the Common Supervisory LED to illuminate amber. The buzzer will sound continuously. If the circuit activation is removed, the supervisory condition will clear (so long as there are no other supervisory conditions in the system) and the circuit Sta tu s LED will extinguish.

9.1 Introduction to Configuration

Configuration of the FA-1000 Fire Alarm Control Panel is performed by a combination of configuration DIP switch settings and button presses. Circuit-related operations are correlated to their respective disconnect switches.

You can access the configuration DIP switches from the main display module after removing the protective lexan cover . The DIP switches are labelled as CONFIG. 1 to 8. The circuit (zone) disconnect switches are re-defined as circuit (zone) select during configuration. Make sure you have set the circuit disconnect switches to the desired settings before exiting configuration mode. Normal system operation is suspended while configuration mode is active. You enter configuration mode whenever any of the configuration DIP switches are set as per the functions listed in Table 12 Configuration DIP Switch Functions on page 62, and you exit configuration mode by turning all the DIP switches OFF (put switches in the bottom or OFF

positions), then pressing the System Reset button.

Note: While in configuration mode the fire alarm control panel is not operating.

9.3 Entering Configuration Mode

The system enters configuration mode whenever any of the configuration DIP switches 2 to 8 (switch 1 is used to enter walk test mode) are set to a "1 " or the ON position (top position). T he Test / Config Mode and Common Tr ouble LEDs will turn on and the buzzer will sound. You can

silence the buzzer at this point.

Note: The fire alarm control panel is not operating as a fire alarm system while it is in

configuration mode.

If there is no activity (no buttons presse d or switches changed) for one hour, the system will return to normal operation, but will remain in a trouble condition.

As you change the configuration DIP switches to select different functions, wait for a few seconds for the appropriate LEDs to change as the system recognizes the change(s). Note

that configuration changes take effect immediately as they are made, there is no "undo"

function.

Note: Write down the configuration changes that you make and store them with the

panel, so that you can refer to them later.

9.4 Exiting Configuration Mode

To exit configuration mode after all desired changes are made, all configuration DIP switches must be returned to a "0" or OFF p osition (bottom position). Wait about five seconds before

pressing the System Reset button. The system should now be back in normal operation.

9.5 Factory Default Configuration

The system as shipped from the factory is con figured with no adder modules, and with set defaults as outlined below:

System Configuration

• All initiating circuits are S tyle B (Class B) non-verified alarms (any alarm on any initiating

circuit activates all indicating circuits)

• Indicating circuits are all common alarm and set as silenceable, temporal code. If sho rts

exist on any indicating circuits, then they will not activate on alarms.

• Manual signal silence is enabled

• Fire drill is enabled

• Two stage is disabled (the system will operate single stage)

• If a two stage system is enabled, the common alarm relay operates on both stages

• All indicating and relay correlations are set to common alarm activation

• Water-flow retard operation is disabled

• Aux disconnect will disconnect correlated relays

• The Signal Silence Inhibit timer, Auto Signal Silence timer, and the Auto General Alarm

timer are disabled

• The systems assumes there are no remote annunciators

• Relay adder module(s) activate only on common alarm

• The system assumes that there are no adder modules

9.6 Restore to Default/Resize (Class A or B)

Restore the system to the default configuration whenever you would like to restore the factory default configuration, and whenever circuit adder modules (detection, signal, or relay) are added, removed, or re-arranged. Restoring the system to the default configuration is performed slightly differently depending on whether the system is intended to operate with

Class B (Style B) or Class A (Style D) initiating circuits (detection zones).

Note: Remember to set the main fire alarm board and detection adder module jumpers

for the appropriate Class (Style) (see Module Settings on page 25.), and that the Class (Style) setting is global - for all initiating circuits.

9.6.1 Class B (Style B) Restore Defaults

1. Set the Config DIP switch to 0111 1111 (restore defaults). Wait five seconds.

2. Press the yellow and red buttons together for five seconds. Wait five seconds.

3. Set the Config DIP switch to 0000 0001 (select Class/Style). Wait five seconds.

4. Press the yellow button until yellow LED turns off.

5. Set the Config DIP switch to 0100 0000 (resize system

6. Press the yellow and red buttons together for five seconds. Wait te n seconds.

9.6.2 Class A (Style D) Restore Defaults

1. Set the Config DIP switch to 0111 1111 (restore defaults). Wait five seconds.

2. Press the yellow and red buttons together for five seconds. Wait five seconds.

3. Set the Config DIP switch to 0000 0001 (select S tyle/Class). Wait five seconds.

4. Press the yellow button until yellow LED turns on.

5. Set the Config DIP switch to 0100 0000 (resize system

System Configuration

). Wait five seconds.

6. Press the yellow and red buttons together for five seconds. Wait 10 seconds.

The system is now ready for further configuration, or configuration mode may be exited if the default settings are acceptable.

9.7 Resize System (Set Circuit Adder Module Number and Type)

You may resize the system without performing a ful l “restore to defa ults ” if the only change you made to the system was adding or removing an adder display module or a circuit module. Otherwise, perform the “resize system” procedure as a part of a full “restore to defaults”, failure to do so may cause errors while assigning the circuit-specific configuration.

To resize a system after circuit adder modules were added after existing modules,

1. Set Config DIP switch to 0100 0000 (resize system

2. Press the yellow and red buttons together for five seconds. Wait te n seconds.

The system is now ready for further configuration, or configuration mode may be exited if the default settings for the added modules are acceptable.

Note: The yellow LED indicates how many adder modules (plus the main board) are

found, not how many the system is configured to accept. If the number of adder modules found is different from the number the system is configured for, the system will go into a trouble condition.

). Wait five seconds.

1. During the resize (set circuit adder module number and type) part of the operation, the yellow LED flashes to indicate how many adder display modules (in addition to the main display module) and circuit adder modules (including the main board) are found. The yellow LED indicates the number of adder display modules followed by the number of circuit adder modules. If no adder modules are found, the LED flashes once; if one adder module is found it flashes twice, and so on. For example, if the system has one adder display module and two circuit adder modules, the yellow LED will flash two times (once for the main display module and once for the adder display module), pause, flash three times (once for the main board and once for each of the adder modules), then pause again. This sequence is then repeated.

9.8 Configuration Features

There are two types of features: those that can be turned on and off, and those with multiple settings. For on and off features, press the yellow button to toggle the settings on or off. The yellow LED is illuminated for ON, and not illuminated for OFF. For multiple setting features, the yellow LED flashes a number of times to indicate the setting, then pauses. Use the yellow button to change the selected setting. Be sure to p ause for about thr ee seconds af ter changin g the configuration DIP switches or pressing the yellow button to see the results.

9.9 Configuring Initiating and Indicating Circuits

Initiating circuits (detection zones) and indicating circuits (signal zones) are configured by using the configuration DIP switches to select the desired circuit type function, along with the circuit trouble LEDs and disconnect DIP switches.

An illuminated yellow LED indicates that the alarm transmit signal from the PR-300 or DACT will be silenceable with the activation of the signal silence button. If the yellow LED is off (default), it indicates that the alarm transmit signal from the PR-300 or DACT will not be silenceable.

The AC Power Fail trouble signal from the PR-300 or the DACT can be delayed when the only trouble on the fire alarm panel is AC power fail.

Yellow LED flashes 0 times = No Delay (default) Yellow LED flashes 1 time = 1 Hour Yellow LED flashes 2 times = 2 Hours Yellow LED flashes 3 times = 3 Hours

To configure initiating and indicating circuits

1. Select a circuit type by raising the specified DIP switch(es) (see the table below). The yellow trouble LED for each circuit currently configured as that type will illuminate.

2. To configure circuits to be of that selected circuit type, turn on all of the desired circuit disconnect DIP switches (up position) and press the yellow button for about one second. After a short pause, the initiating circuit yellow trouble LEDs will be updated to show the

new configuration.

3. Lower all DIP switches to the OFF position and press the System Rese t butto n.

Notes: Any subsequent selection of a particular circuit as a different circuit type will

supercede the previous selection. Also note that the physical circuit type must be appropriate for the selected cir cuit type. Fo r example, on ly indicating circu its can be configured as silenceable strobes.

Be sure to reset circuit disconnect switches to OFF (down position) before attempting to configure any other circuits.

6. Turn off all disconnect switches.

7. Set Config DIP switch to 0011 0000. All four indicating yellow trouble LEDs should illuminate.

8. Set Config DIP switch to 0011 0011. All four indicating yellow trouble LEDs should go out.

10. Press the yellow button for one second. After a pause the yellow trouble LED for initiating circuit four should illuminate.

11. Turn off all disconnect switches.

12. Exit configuration mode.

9.10 Configuring Circuit Correlations

As a working definition for correlations, circuits can be defined as:

• input circuits = initiating circuits (detection zones)

• output circuits = indicating circuits (signal zones), and relay circuits

With the factory default configuration, all outputs are configured to activate with any inputs configured as alarms. If output circuit correlations are enabled (see 9.8 Configuration Features on page 66), outputs must be configured to one or more inputs to activate at all. This configuration is referred to as a correlation. There are two configuration options: correlated individual outputs to one or more inputs, or correlated indi vidual input s to one or more output s. Output circuits may be correlated to as many input circuits as desired, and vice-versa.

9.10.1 Correlation by Input Circuit

1. Raise the Config DIP switches 2 and 8. Pause for about three seconds.

2. Turn on (up position) only one input circuit's (initiating circuit / d etection zone) disconnect switch. If you turn on more than one input circuit disconnect switch at one time, the selected input circuit's yellow trouble LED and the yellow trouble LEDs of any output circuits (indicating circuit / signal zone, or relay circuit) that are already correlated to that input will illuminate, and the function will not operate.

If you require only a correlations check, turn off the switch, then repeat step 2 for the next input circuit that you want to check.

If you would like to set new correlations for the selected input circuit,

3. Turn on (up position) the disconnect switch for desired output circuits.

System Configuration

4. Press the yellow button for one second. After a pause the yellow trouble LEDs for the newly correlated output circuits will illuminate.

5. Lower all DIP switches to the OFF position and press the System Rese t butto n.

9.10.2 Correlation by Output Circuit

1. Raise the Config DIP switches 2 and 7. Pause for about three seconds.

2. Turn on (up position) on ly one output circuit's (indicating circuit / signal zone or relay circuit) disconnect switch. If you turn on more than one input circuit disconnect switch at one time, the selected input circuit's yellow trouble LED and the yellow trouble LEDs of any output circuits (indicating circuit / signal zone, or relay circuit) that are already correlated to that input will illuminate, and the function will not operate.

If you require only a correlations check, turn off the switch, then repeat step 2 for next output circuit that you want to check.

If you would like to set new correlations for the selected output circuit,

3. Turn on (up position) the disconnect switch for desired output circuits.

4. Press the yellow button for one second. After a pause the yellow trouble LEDs for the newly correlated input circuits will illuminate.

5. Lower all DIP switches to the OFF position and press the System Rese t butto n.

At present, only the following types of circuit correlatio ns are possible:

• Alarm circuits (Verified or Non-Verified, Sprinkler or Water-Flow) to indicating circuits or

relays.

• General Alarm circuits to indicating (they are automatically correlated to all indicating

circuits).

• Supervisory circuits (Latching or no t) to relays.

• Property and Building Safety circuits to relays.

• Trouble-Only circuits to relays.

• See notes on next page.

Notes: The feature called “Output Circuit Correlations Enabled” must be ON for

indicating circuit correlations to operate (see 9.8 Configuration Features on page 66), otherwise all indicating circuits will be common alarm. This means that they will all activate with any input circuits configured as alarms. Relay circuits are always enabled for correlations.

If the system is configured as two stage, any second stage / general alarm (caused by the Auto General Ala rm timer, the General Alarm button on the fron t panel or remote annunciator, or by a General Alarm initiating circuit) condition activates all indicating circuits whether or not they are correlated.

9.11 Display Configuration

The main and adder display modules on the front panel are automatically updated to display all circuits found whenever the function “Resize - Adder Module Number and Type Configuration” is performed. The main display module has dedicated trouble LEDs for the four indicating circuits on the main fire alarm module. The eight initiating circuits (four in Class A mode) also on the main fire alarm module are a nnunciated on the fir st column of disp lay point s (from top to bottom). Any adder module circuits are displayed after the base system input circuits in the same order as the adder modules have been installed (that is from right to left). For example, if there are two eight-circuit initiating circuit adder modules and one four-circuit indicating circuit adder module, the main display will annunciate 24 initiating circuits followed by four indicating circuits. If the fire alarm control panel is configured for Class A (Style D) initiating circuits, then the number of initiating circuits is cut in half, so that in the example above, there will only be a total of 12 initiating circuits annunciated, followed by the four adder indicating circuits. Refer to Figure 27 on page 49 to see how the first 24 circuits are mapped to display points.

System Configuration

Any configured RA-1000 Series Remote Annunciators automatically match the main fire alarm control panel displays, except that there will be no annunciation of Common Alarm, Common Supervisory, Battery/Charger Trouble, Ground Fault and Four-Signal trouble indicators.

10.0 Walk Test Operation

A walk test allows you to verify the initiating circuit wiring in a system. The walk test is a special configuration mode function (function 80 on the configuration DIP switches). Circuits to be tested are identified using the circuit disconnect switches. Activation of any initiating circuit that has been selected for the walk test will cause the audible indicating circuits (not strobes) to activate briefly for a number of short bursts corresponding to the selected circuit number. If the first selected circuit is activated, the indication circuits will sound for one burst. If the second selected circuit is activated, the indication circuits will sound for two bursts, and so on. This means that if, for example, circuits 1, 6, 23, and 32 were selected for the walk test, they would sound with 1, 2, 3, and 4 bursts respectively. The maximum number of circuits that may be set at any one time for a walk test is 15. The burst interval is half a second on half a second off. After the sounding pattern has been sent on the indicating circuits, the initiating circuit is reset and tested again. If it is still active (in alarm) the pattern will be re-sent. Trouble on any initiating circuit selected for the walk test causes the indicating circuits to be activated continuously for 5 seconds.

Alarm verification and water-flow alarm retard operations are disabled on circuits being walk tested. All circuits not selected for the walk test continue to function normally. If a circuit was disconnected before walk test mode was entered and is not selected for the walk test, it remains disconnected while the walk test is active. The walk test operation is disabled if the

fire alarm control panel is in alarm or goes into alarm while walk test mode is active.

Walk Test Operation

Notes: If a UDACT is used with the system, all walk test events will be reported to the

monitoring agency. Instruct the monitoring agency to ignore reported events during the walk test.

If there is no activity for one hour, the system will return to normal operation, but will remain in a trouble condition until the DIP switches are reset and the panel is reset.

Warranty & Warning Information

15.0 Warranty & Warning Information

Warning Please Read Carefully

Note to End Users: This equipment is subject to terms and conditions of sale as follows:

Note to Installers

This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact with system users, it is your responsibility to bring each item in this warning to the attention of the users of this system. Failure to properly inform system end-users of the circumstances in which the system might fail may result in over-reliance upon the system. As a result, it is imperative that you properly inform each customer for whom you install the system of the possible forms of failure.

System Failures

This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There are circumstances, such as fire or other types of emergencies where it may not provide pr otection. Alarm systems of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for a variety of reasons. Some reasons for system failure include:

•Inadequate Installation A Fire Alarm system must be installed in accordance with all the applicable codes and standards in order to provide adequate protection. An inspection and approval of the initial installation, or, after any changes to the system, must be conducted by the Local Authority Having Jurisdiction. Such inspections ensure installation has been carried out properly.

•Power Failure Control units, smoke detectors and many other con ne cted devices re quir e an ade qu ate po wer supply for proper operation. If the system or any device connected to the system operates from batteries, it is possible for th e batteries to fail. Even if the batteries have no t failed, they must be fully charged, in good condition and installed correctly. If a device operates only by AC power, any interruption, however brief, will render that device inoperative while it does not have power. Power interruptions of any length are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations which may damage electronic equipment such as a fire alarm system. After a power interruption has occurred, immediately conduct a complete system test to ensure that the system operates as intended.

•Failure of Replaceable Batteries Systems with wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several years of battery life under normal conditions. The expected battery life is a function of the device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions such as high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations ma y reduc e the ex pected b attery lif e. While e ach trans mitting d evice has a low battery monitor which identifies when the batteries need to be replaced , this mon ito r may fail to operate as expected. Regular testing and maintenance will keep the system in good operating condition.

•Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could include metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.

•System Users A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to permanent or temporary physical disability, inability to reach the device in time, or unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It is important that all system users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that they know how to respond when the system indicates an alarm.

•Automatic Alarm Initiating Devices Smoke detectors, heat detectors and other alarm initiating devices that are a part of this system may not properly detect a fire condition or signal the control p anel to alert occup ant s o f a fire condition for a number of reasons, such as: the smoke detectors or heat detector may have been improperly installed or positioned; smoke or heat may not be able to reach the

Warranty & Warning Information

alarm initiating device, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors; and, smoke and heat detectors may not detect smoke or heat from fires on another level of the residence or building.

•Software Most MGC products contain software. With respect to those products, MGC does not warranty that the operation of the software will be uninterrupted or error-free or that the software will meet any other standard of performance, or that the functions or performance of the software will meet the user’s requirements. MGC shall not be liable for any delays, breakdowns, interruptions, loss, destruction, alteration or other problems in the use of a product arising our of, or caused by, the software.

Every fire is different in the amount and rate at which smoke and heat are generated. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by carelessness or 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.

Even if the smoke detector or heat detector oper ates as intended, there may b e circumsta nces when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death.

•Alarm Notification Appliances Alarm Notification Appliances such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn people or waken someone sleeping if there is a n intervening wall or door. If notification appliances are located on a different level of the residence or premise, then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened. Audible notification appliances may be interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible notification appliances, however loud, may not be heard by a hearingimpaired person.

•Telephone Lines If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service or busy for certain periods of time. Also the telephone lines may be compromised by such things as criminal tampering, local construction, storms or earthquakes.

•Insufficient Time There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended, yet the occupants will not be protected from the emergency due to their inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system is monitored, the response may not occur in time enough to protect the occupants or their belongings.

•Component Failure

Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible, the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a component.

•Inadequate Testing Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as intended can be discovered by regular testing and maintenance. The complete system should be tested as required by national standards and the Local Authority Having Jurisdiction and immediately after a fire, storm, earthqua ke, accident, or any kind of construction activity inside or outside the premises. The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating devices and any other operational devices that are part of the system.

•Security and Insurance Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for property or life insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for property owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.

Warranty & Warning Information

IMPORTANT NOTE: End-users of the system must take care to ensure that the system, batteries, telephone lines, etc. are tested and examined on a regular basis to ensure the minimization of system failure.
