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.

Otherwise not used.
JW2
Remove this jumper if an RM-306 Relay Adder Module is used.
JW4 Shorted if there is no external unit on RS485. This jumper works as ‘end of line’
jumper. If one or more units are connected on RS485, only short on the last connected unit. JW4 on all other units should be left open.
JW5 Normally open. To reset the password, place jumper here and power down the
panel (both AC power and batteries). Then power up the panel again, the password is restored to the default after system startup. Once the system has reset, REMOVE the jumper from the pins at JW5.
JW6 Normally open to BLOCK configuration via modem, PC with a UIMA converter
module or a CFG-300 Configuration Tool. Place jumper here to ALLOW any type of configuration.

6.2 ICAC-306 Input Class-A Converter Adder Module

Figure 7 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 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.

6.3 OCAC-302 Output Class-A Converter Adder Module

Figure 8 OCAC-302 Output Class-A Converter Adder Module
Indicating circuits must be wired from the OCAC-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 RM-306 Relay Adder Module

Cable from P1 of the RM-306 is connected to P4 on the Main Fire Alarm Board. The jumpers located above each relay on the RM-306 are used to configure the relays. The jumpers located below the relays are used to select either normally open contacts or normally closed contacts.

P1 P2 & JW4
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.
Cable connects to P3 on the Main Board Not used. Jumper JW4 remains on board.
