2.0 Introduction

Mircom’s FR-320 Series Pre-Action/Deluge and Agent Release Control Panel performs the function of fire suppression in a wide variety of applications. It is capable of being used in an agent release sprinkler system or in a pre-action or deluge sprinkler system. It can be used in single-hazard or dual-hazard applications with or without cross-zoning. The pa nel includes common alarm, supervisory, and trouble relays, and provides regulated and unregulated auxiliary power along with four-wire smoke power. It supports auxiliary relays and a city tie module. The auxiliary relays are based on a hazard area status. The FR-320 has six input zones and four output zones, allowing for flexibility in most single and dual-hazard applications for both deluge and agent releasing applications.

2.1 Panel Type

The panel can function as an agent release panel or as a pre-action/deluge panel, depending on which of the available fixed configurations are chosen from the main programming menu.

2.1.1 Deluge sprinkler system

In deluge sprinkler system open-valve sprin kle r heads terminate to a water supply that is controlled by a single valve. When the system detects fire, it automatically opens the valve via a releasing circuit, allowing the water to flow through all the sprinkler heads. Deluge sprinkler systems are useful for applications in which simultaneous discharge of water through every sprinkler is required.

2.1.2 Pre- a ct ion sprinkler system

In a pre-action sprinkler system close-valve sprinkler heads are connected to pipes that are supervised for air pressure. The pipes terminate directly to a water supply. Pre-action systems are useful for applications in which the preven tion of an accidental discharge of water is required.

2.1.3 Agent release system

In an agent release system, an extinguishing agent (such as Argon, dry chemical, CO2, Halon, etc.) is automatically released upon fire detection. An abort function is added to prevent the false release of the extinguishing agent.

2.2 Overall Features

Basic unit has six Class B (Style B) initiating circuits, which may be configured as Class
A (Style D) using input Class A converter adde r modules. Each initiating circuit is pre­configured as Alarm, Supervisory (Latching or n on-latching), water-flow, Manual Release Switch, or Abort Switch. There are two LEDs per circuit, one for Trouble (amber), and one dual color (amber/red) LED for Supervisory (amber) and Alarm (red).
Basic unit has 4 power limited class B (style Y) output circuits. Output circuits 1 & 2 are
indicating circuits while output circuits 3 & 4 are releasing circuits (circuit 4 can work as an indicating circuit in some situations; check Pre-Programmed Modes on page 69 for details). Each indicating circuit process type is pre-configured and can be silenceable. The signal rates depend on the selected pre-programmed configuration.
A pushbutton associated with each initiating, indicating and releasing circuit can
individually bypass the circuit.
Configurable Signal Silence Inhibit and Auto Signal Silence Timers. For Canadian
installations, disable the Auto Signal Silence Timer.

3.0 Conventions

3.1 Circuits

Refers to an actual electrical interface for initiating (detection), indicating (signal), and releasing.

3.2 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 are used interch angeably, but in this Manual the term Circuit
is used.

3.3 Display Points

There is a display point associated with every initiating and indicating circuit of the FR-320 LED Series fire panel. For an initiating circuit there are two LEDs for every display point: one single color (amber) and one dual color (r ed/am ber ). F or an ind ica tin g cir cuit th er e is o nly one LED: one single color (amber), for every display point.

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 penalizing the number of circuits, which remains the same as in Class B (Style B). Changing the indicating circuits to Class A requires an OCAC-302 adder board, which will convert TWO indicating zones from Class B (Style Y) circuits to Class A (Style Z). Releasing circuits (Z) are Class B (Style B) only.

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 positive and negative terminals marked DET OUT and the circuit return wires are brought back to the converter module to positive and negative terminals marked DET RET.

The Alarm Transmit sign al 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. See 8. Alarm Xmit- Sil. on page 55 for more information.
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. See 9. Pwr Fail Tmr on page 55 for more information.

7.9 Four-Wire Smoke Power (regulated)

Four-wire smoke power is provided for four-wire smoke detectors. This filtered supply is supervised therefore a short will disconnect the power and the common trouble is active. The power is reconnected after the 'RESET' key is pressed. See 17.0 Appendix E: Specifications on page 101 for supply rating.
35
Page 36

7.10 Supervised Auxiliary Power (regulated)

Supervised auxiliary power is used to power the remote annunciators and smart relay modules. This filtered circuit is supervised therefore a short will disconnect the power and the common trouble is active. The power is reconnected after the 'RESET' key is pressed. See
17.0 Appendix E: Specifications on page 101 for supply rating.

7.11 Unfiltered Supply (full wave rectified)

This regulated supply is not supervised. If there is a short on this circuit, the auxiliary power does not recover automatically when the short is removed. This power supply must be disconnected, then reconnected and the panel reset to re-establish the auxiliary power supply. See 17.0 Appendix E: Specifications on page 101 for supply rating.

8.0 System Checkout

i

8.1 Before turning the power “ON”

To prevent sparking, do not connect the batteries. Connect the batteries after powering the system from the main AC supply.
1. C hec k that all modu les ar e installed in the proper location with the proper connections.
2. Check all field (external) wiring for opens, shorts, and ground.
3. Check that all interconnection cables are secure, and that all connectors are plugged in properly.
4. Check all jumpers and switches for proper setting.
5. Check the AC power wiring for proper connection.
6. Check that the chassis is connected to EARTH GROUND (cold water pipe).
7. Make sure to close the front cover plate before powering the system from main AC supply.
The best way to check out a panel first is to not connect any field wiring. Power up the panel with an end of line. The panel should be free of trouble. Then connect one circuit at one time. If a trouble occurs, correct the fault then continue the field wiring.

8.2 Power-up procedure

After completing the System Checkout procedures outlined above,
1. Power up the panel. The "AC ON" green LED and the “Common Trouble” LED shou ld illuminate, and the buzzer should sound. Press the “System Reset” button. Since the batteries are not connected, the trouble buzzer should sound intermittently and the common trouble LED should flash.

9.3.5 Input Circuits Bypass Switch

These bypass switches are used to bypass the input circuit. Bypass is a toggle switch which will bypass and un-bypass in a sequence whenever the switch is pressed. When the input circuit is bypassed a trouble is generated and the system will not respond to any trouble or alarm on the bypassed input circuit. If the bypassed input circuit is active and the Bypass Switch is pressed for un-bypassing, the Alarm LED will flash at the fast rate for 10 seconds. During these 10 seconds, pressing the Bypass Switch can bypass the active input circuit again. After 10 seconds, the bypassed alarm will be processed.

9.3.6 Output Circuits Bypass Switch

The output circuit bypass switches bypasses the NAC circuit and the releasing circuit. The switch is a toggle switch and pressing it again, will un-bypasses the output circuit the tr ouble LED turns off.
Indicators, Controls and Operations

9.4 Common Controls

9.4.1 System Reset Button

The System Reset button resets the Fire Alarm C ontrol Panel and all Circuits. In particular, the system reset button
Resets all Latching Trouble Conditions
Resets all Initiating and Releasing Circuits
Resets 4-Wire Smoke Supply
Turns off all Indicating Circuits
Turns off Signal Silence Indicator
Stops and resets all Timers
Processes inputs as new events
Does not affect Aux Disconnect

9.4.2 Signal Silence Button

Activation of the Signal Silence button when the panel is in alarm turns on the Signal Silence indicator and deactivates any Silenceable Indicating Circuits. Non-Silenceable Circuits are unaffected. Signals will re-sound upon any subsequent alarm. Subsequent operation of signal silence resounds all Silenceable signals. This button does not function during any configured Signal Silence Inhibit Timer period.

9.4.3 Auxiliary Disconnect Button

Activating the Auxiliary Disconnect button activates the Auxiliary Disconnect function. The Auxiliary Alarm Relay is always disconnected with this button. The Common Alarm Relay, the Common Supervisory relay and all correlated alarm relays may be disconnected as selected through configuration. Activating the Auxiliary Disconnect button also causes the Common Trouble LED to illuminate steady, the common trouble relay to send a trouble message and the trouble buzzer to flash at the trouble flash rate. Pressing the Auxiliary Disconnect button
42
Page 43
Indicators, Controls and Operations
again de-activates this function and the system will go back to normal.

9.4.4 Lamp Test Button

Activation of the Lamp Test button causes all front panel Indicators to steadily illuminate and turns the buzzer ON steady. If Lamp T est is active for more th an 10 seconds, Common T rouble is activated.

9.4.5 ALM/SUP/TBL/BLDG AUDIBLE SIL Button (Buzzer Silence)

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.

9.5 Circuit (zone) disconnect buttons

Circuit (Zone) Disconnect pushbuttons are provided for all initiating indicating, and releasing circuits on the Fire Alarm Control Panel. These pushbuttons are located beside their respective indicating LED.
Pressing a Circuit Disconnect pushbutton by passes the associated circuit and turns on its Trouble Indicator, activating Common Trouble. Pressing a releasing circuit disconnect pushbutton bypasses the associated releasing circuit and turns on it s LED, activating common supervisory. 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. Circuit Disconnect pushbuttons are toggle switches; therefore, pressing an activated switch a second time will un-bypass (reconnect) the circuit.
Disconnecting an active Latching Initiating Circuit (including Alarms, Water flow Alarm, Sprinkler Alarm, Gen eral Alarm, and Latching Supervisory) does not affect its status until the panel is reset. Disconnecting an active Non-Latching Initiating Circuit (including Non-Latching Supervisory and Trouble-Only) causes them to behave as if the alarm situation has disappeared. Disconnecting an active indicating circuit immediately deactivates the circuit.
When an Initiating Circuit Disconnect pushbutton is returned to the normal st ate (by pressing it again in order to un-bypass the circuit), the panel checks the state of the circuit. If the circuit is active, the Status Indicator flashes for 10 seconds at the Fast Rate without processing the input. If the Circuit is not re-bypassed by then, it will be processed as a new input.

Indicators, Controls and Operations

9.7 Circuit Types

9.7.1 Initiating (Detection) Circuit Types

9.7.2 Non-Verified Alarm

A Non-Verified alarm is a “normal” type of alarm that can have pull stations, smoke detectors, or heat detectors attached to it. Activation of any of these devices will immediately result in an alarm condition in the Fire Alarm Control Panel. An Alarm cond itio n ca us es the as so ciat ed Circuit Status LED and the Common Alarm LED to illuminate red.

9.7.3 Water Flow Alarm (Water flow Sensors)

Water Flow Alarms are identical to normal Non-Verified Alarms except that any indicating circuits programmed to these circuits (all are by default) are Non-Silenceable. Also, if Water Flow Retard Operation is enabled, 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 Retard Operation with any external retard ing device; maximum r etard
may not exceed 120 seconds.

9.7.4 Non-Latching Supervisory (For Supervisory Circuits)

Activation on these circuits will cause the Circuit Status LED and the amber Common Supervisory LED to illuminate. The buzzer will sound at fast rate. If the circuit activation is removed, the Supervisory condition will clear (as long as there are no other Supervisory conditions in the system) and the Circuit Status LED will turn off.
44
Page 45

9.7.5 Latching Supervisory (For Supervisory Devices)

Activation on these circuits will cause the Circuit Status LED and the amber Common Supervisory LED to illuminate. The buzzer will sound at fast rate. If the circuit activation is removed, the Supervisory condition will NOT clear.

9.7.6 Abort Switch

When the hazard area is in alarm (pre-discharge) state and the r elease timer is running, the activation of the corresponding Abort Switch will pause the releasing timer. The release process is held while the Abort Switch is pressed. Releasing the Abort Switch will resume the releasing timer and the corresponding hazard area goes into Alarm (pre-discharge) state again. The value of the release timer after Abort Switch is released depends on the type of Abort Delay in the configuration. When the release timer expires, the corr espo nd ing rele asing circuit is activated. When the panel is in normal condition, activation of the Abort Switch will cause a trouble signal and the corresponding zone amber LED turns on at slow flash rate.

9.7.7 Manual Release Switch

Activation of the Manual Release Switch of a hazard area will activate the corresponding releasing circuit. If the corresponding Manual Release Delay is non-zero, the releasing circuit will be activate after the Manual Release Delay expires.
Indicators, Controls and Operations

9.7.8 Indicating (Signal) Circuits Types

9.7.9 Silenceable Signal

The Silenceable Signal circuit is used for audible devices such as bells and piezo mini-horns that may be silenced either manually or automatically.

9.7.10 Non-Silenceable Signal

The Non-Silenceable Signal Circuit is used for audible devices such as bells and piezo mini­horns that may not be silenced either manually or automatically. While sounding, these devices follow the evacuation code pattern that is configured by the user. For more information on evacuation codes, refer to 9.8 Evacuation codes on page 46.

11.0 Operating the Panel

11.1 Panel Operation During Various Hazard States

The escalating hazard zone states include Idle, Alert, Alarm and Release. They are defined based on the status of Hazard Area input zone(s), correlated Abort Switch and Manual Release Switch.

11.1.1 Hazard Idle

No correlated alarm zone active.
Release Timer is not started.
Manual Release Delay Timer is not started.
Abort Switch is off.
Manual Release Switch is off.
Corresponding NAC circuit is off.
Releasing circuit(s) is off.

11.1.2 Hazard Alert (or equivalently first Alarm in Cross-zoned Application)

The panel enters the Hazard Alert state when
a single alarm comes in for a cross-zoned hazard. For non cross-zoned hazard area,
a single alarm will put hazard into Hazard Alarm state directly.
the Abort Switch becomes active during Hazard Alarm state, so that the hazard area
state downgrades from Hazard Alarm to Hazard Alert.
Release Timer is not started.
Manual Release Delay Timer is not started.
Correlated NAC circuit(s) turns on at alert rate.
11.1.3 Hazard Alarm (pre-discharge, or equivalently second Alarm in Cross­zoned Application)
The panel enters the Hazard Alarm state when
it detects the confirming alarm for hazard area (single alarm active for the non cross-
zoned system, or 2nd alarm active in the cross-zoned system), or
Manual Release Switch is active.
Release Timer (RT) is started when the panel enters Hazard Alar m state after by
detecting the 2nd alarm in cross-zoned hazard or 1st alarm in non cross-zoned hazard.
Manual Release Delay Timer is started when the panel enters Hazard Alarm state by
detecting the correlated Manual Release Switch active.
Releasing circuit(s) will be activated after the Release Timer or Manual Release Timer
expires.
Corresponding NAC(s) turns on at alarm rate.
During Hazard Alarm State, when the release timer is running and the Abort Switch
turns on, the hazard area state will change from Hazard Alarm to Hazard Alert. Release Timer is held and the corresponding NAC sounds the Alert rate. If the Abort Switch is released, the hazard state will go back to Hazard Alarm and the Release Timer resumes running. The value of release timer depends on Abort Delay Type. The corresponding NAC sounds Alarm rate again.
67
Page 68

11.1.4 Hazard Release

Panel enters Hazard Release when the Release Timer or Manual Release Timer
expires. The correlated releasing circuit is activa te d.
NAC code for Hazard Release state is steady.

11.2 General Panel Operation

Activation of Manual Release Switch starts the Manual Release Delay Timer. The
expiration of Manual-release Delay Timer (MDT) activates the releasing circuits consequently. Manual Release Switch overrides the Abort Switch always and Manual­release Timer (MDT) always overrides Release Timer (RT).
When the manual release switch is active and the panel is in the Hazard Alarm (pre-
discharge) state, Abort Switch cannot override the Manual Release Switch. Only the System Reset key can interrupt and reset the panel and hazard area.
System Reset will reset all circuits, including releasing circuits.
The supervisory circuit can be optionally indicated on NAC-2 circuit. The NAC code of
supervisory circuit should be different from those of Hazard Alert or Hazard Alarm. By default, when the NAC code for Hazard Alert is Temporal, the NAC code for supervisory circuit is 20 BPM or verse visa. This configuration change is automatically done by the panel. If NAC code for alert is chosen other than 20 BPM and Temporal, Supervisory NAC code will remain unchanged during the configuration.
In some pre-programmed modes, the Alert Rate and the Alarm Rate are configured the
same. So the action of Abort Switch does not change the NAC rate.
T o avoid the conflict of dif feren t NAC code on the same circuit, the prior ity of sign als are
defined as, Water-flow alarm has the highest pr iority, then hazard cadence. The supervisory signal has the lowest priority.
Soak Timer sets the time period how long the releasing circuits should be active. Upon
the expiration of soak timer, the releasing circuits will be shut off. Setting of 0 second means the releasing circuits will be turned on without timer running. They will be shut off upon system reset.
Abort function is not applic ab le in pr e- action and deluge application.

12.1.4 How the Panel Works in Mode 1

Activation of either Z-1or Z-2 turns NAC-1 on steady . Hazard Area 1 state changes from
Idle into Alert. NAC-2 turns on at Temporal.
Activations of both Z-1 and Z-2 change the Hazard Area1 state from Alert into Alarm.
NAC-1 turns on steady. NAC-2 turns on at 120BPM. Release timer-1 (RT-1) is started.
Expiration of Release Timer-1 change Hazard Area 1 state to Release. Both RAC- 1 and
RAC-2 turn on. NAC-2 sounds steady.
Activation of Z-6 in any situation changes Hazard Area 1 state into Alarm. NAC-1 turns
on steady, NAC-2 turns on at 120BPM. The manual release delay timer 1 (MDT-1) is started. Upon the expiration of MDT -1, Hazard Area 1 state changes to Release. RAC-1 and RAC-2 are activated. NAC-1 and NAC-2 turns on steady.
When Hazard Area 1 state is in Alarm, if Z-5 is pressed, Release Timer-1 is held and
NAC-2 rate changes from 120BPM to Temporal. After releasing of Z-5, Release T imer-1 resumes running and NAC-2 goes back to 120BPM. Release Timer -1 value depends on Abort Delay Type.
Activation of Z-3 turns both NAC-1 and NAC-2 on steady.
Activation of Z- 4 ca n be indic at ed on NAC- 2 at 20BPM, if en ab led .

12.14.4 How the Panel Works in Mode 14

Activation of any one among Z-1, Z-2, Z-3 or Z4 changes Hazard Area 1 state into
Alarm. Release Timer-1 is started. NAC-1 turns on steady. NAC-2 turns on Temporal if the release timer is non-zero. Upon the expiration of Release Timer-1, both NAC-1 and NAC-2 turns on steady. RAC-1 and RAC-2 are activated.
Activation of Z-5 can be indicated on NAC-2 at 20 BPM, if configured.
Activation of Z-6 turns NAC-1 and NAC-2 steady .
