2.0 Introduction
i
Mircom's FA-300 Series Fire Alarm Control Panel is a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) based
fire panel. The FA-300 provides a maximum of 12 supervised Class B or A (style B or D)
Initiating circuits, and maximum of four supervised Class B or A (Style Y or Z) indicating
circuits. All circuits are supervised for opens and ground faults, and indicating circuits are
supervised for shorts. Optional modules include relay, polarity reversal and city tie and Class A
Converters for initiating and indicating circuits. Semi-flush or surface mountable backboxes
can be used for retrofits and on new installations.
Note: Installation of the FA-300 series fire alarm control panel should be in accordance
with Canadian Electrical Code Part 1, ULC-S524 installation of Fire Alarm
System, National Electrical Code NFPA 70 and NFPA 72. Final acceptance
subject to the Local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
2.1 Overall Features
• The basic unit has six Class B (Style B) initiating circuits, which may be configured as
Class A (Style D) using input Class A converter adder module. Each initiating circuit can
be configured as alarm, verified alarm, water flow alarm, sprinkler alarm, latching or
non-latching supervisory, monitor or trouble circuits.
• The basic unit has two power limited Class B (Style Y) indicating circuits. Each
indicating circuit may be configured as Class A (Style Z) using an output Class A
converter adder module. Each indicating circuit may be configured as silenceable
signal, non-silenceable signal, silenceable strobe, non-silenceable strobe. The audible
signal may be Steady, Temporal Code, California Code, or March Time.
• Each initiating and indicating circuit can be individually disconnected via the keypad and
LCD display with password access.
• Configurable signal silence inhibit, auto signal silence, and one-man walk test.
• Four-wire resettable smoke power supply 300 mA maximum.
• Relay contacts for common alarm, common supervisory and common trouble all non-
disconnect-able and auxiliary alarm relay (disconnectable).

3.0 Conventions
3.1 Circuits
Refers to an actual electrical interface for initiating (detection) and indicating (signal or NAC)
or relays
3.2 Zone
Is a logical concept for a Fire Alarm Protected Area, and consists of at least one circuit.
Often the terms zone and circuit are used interchangeably, but in this manual circuit refers
only to a physical electrical loop.
3.3 Events
There are events associated with every initiating, indicating and common circuit of the fire
panel displayed via the LCD.
3.4 Wiring Styles
Initiating and indicating circuits are Class B (Style B and Y).
Changing the initiating circuits to Class A requires an ICAC-306 adder board which will convert
six initiating zones from Class B (Style B) circuits to Class A (Style D). This is done without
decreasing the number of circuits, which remains the same as in Class B (Style B).
Changing the indicating circuits to Class A requires an OCAC-304 adder board which will
convert four indicating zones from Class B (Style Y) circuits to Class A (Style Z) or an OCAC302 adder board which will convert two indicating zones from Class B (Style Y) circuits to
Class A (Style Z).

Figure 10 ICAC-306 Input Class A converter adder module
There are no jumpers or cables to set on this module, just wiring from the converter (wires are
fixed here) to the Main Fire Alarm Board.
Initiating circuits must be wired from the ICAC-306 module to the Main Fire Alarm board. For
example, Initiating circuit 1 positive (red) and negative (black) wires are connected to the
positive and negative terminals (respectively) of Initiating circuit 1 on the Main Fire Alarm
Board. From the ICAC-306 converter Initiating circuits are wired out to the devices from the

to the converter module to positive and negative terminals marked DET RET.
To convert all 12 initiating circuits of a FA-312 Fire Alarm Panel, two of these ICAC-306 input
Class A converter adder modules are required.
Note: This module has built in active end-of-line resistors and so the fire alarm system
should be configured to enable active end-of-line. See "11.0 Configuration" on
page 52.
6.3 OCAC-304/302 Output Class A Converter Adder Module
Figure 11 OCAC-304/302 Output Class A converter adder module
Indicating circuits must be wired from the OCAC-304/302 to the main Fire Alarm board. For
example indicating circuit 1 positive (red wire) and negative (black wire) is wired from the
Class A converter module to the positive and negative terminals of Indicating circuit 1 on the
Main Fire Alarm board.
The actual indicating zone is wired from the SIGNAL OUT positive and negative to the
signaling devices and then wired back to the SIGNAL RET positive and negative.
6.4 Relay Adder Modules (Models RM-312 and RM-306)
6.4.1 RM-312 Twelve Relay Adder Module
The ribbon cable from P1 of the RM-312 is connected to P6 on the Main Fire Alarm Board.
The jumpers located above each relay on the RM-312 are used to configure the relays. The
25
jumpers located below the relays are used to select either normally open contacts or normally

The Alarm Transmit signal to the PR-300 can be programmed to turn OFF when signal silence
is active. This allows the City Tie Box to be manually reset. On subsequent alarms the
silenceable signals will resound and the City Tie Box will be retriggered.
The Trouble Transmit signal to the PR-300 can be programmed to delay AC power fail for 0, 1
or 3 hours if this is the only system trouble.
