5.0 Operation

This chapter describes the operational capabilities of the FX-3500.

Table 12 UL864 90.23 Table

NOTICE TO USERS, INSTALLERS, AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION, AND OTHER INVOLVED PARTIES

This product incorporates field-programmable software. In order for the product to comply with the requirements in the Standard for Control Units and Accessories for Fire Alarm Systems, UL 864, certain programming features or options must be limited to specific

values or not used at all as indicated below.

Operation

Program feature or option Permitted in UL 864? (Y/N) Possible settings

5.1 Addressable/Analog Devices

The FX-3500 System supports up to 3 loops of Advanced Protocol and CLIP compatible devices.

Using the Advanced Protocol the FX- 3 50 0 su pp o rts up to:

• 159 addressabl e sensors per loop.

• 159 addressable modules per loop.

Using the CLIP protocol the FX-3500 supp orts up to:

• 99 analog sensors per loop.

• 99 analog modules per loop.

Configuration is done via the software configurator.

Settings permitted in UL 864

Note: When mixing modes every address assigned to CLIP removes the equal amount

of addresses from the Advanced Protocol addressable sensor and addressable module range.

Additional Information

• The addressable loop can be configured for Class A or Class B operation.

• T-tapping is not recommended.

• Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) is recommended.

• Conventional de vices can be used in a semi addressa ble application in conjunction with

MIX-M502M, MIX-M502MA, MIX-M502MAP, or MIX-M502MAPA Intelligent Addressable Interface Modules.

• A short or open on the loop will activate the common trouble sequence with a latching

trouble. (Class A only)

• DO NOT connect more than 25 devices to a single isolator or betwee n isolators.

• The FX-3500 FACP will test the sensitivity of a single sensor address every 4 minutes.

Each address will be tested once in approximately every 11 hours.

Page 32

5.1.1 Supervision of Devices

The loop interface software continuously supervises the devices on its loop against those found during configuration for the following conditions:

• Device missing.

• Unconfigured device responding.

• Two or more devices responding to the same address.

• Wrong device type.

A communication or addressing error on a device is reported as a trouble on the associated zone LED as configured. The detectors may be configured as non-verified or verified alarm inputs.

5.1.2 Device LEDs

• Polling the devices on the loop causes the LED to flash normally.

• All device LEDs can be suppressed via the configurator. Suppressing the device LED’s

causes sounder or relay bases to not operate. AP devices do not support sounder or relay bases.

• Activating devices on the loop (alarm for an input device, active for an output device)

illuminates the LED steady.

• The maximum number of active Advanced Protocol and/or CLIP devices with their LED

illuminated steady is fifty (50) per loop.

Operation

5.1.3 Alarm Conditions

Alarm conditions are determined by the system continually polling the analog devices and comparing the reported value against stor ed thresholds for p re-alarm and alarm conditions. An agency approved range of thresholds is provided for each type of analog device (except for contact devices).

Devices can be individually configur ed with 2 separate thresholds, “day time” and one “night time” or after hours operation; i.e. a device may be config ured to a low sensitivity for “day time” and high sensitivity at “night time”. The day time threshold will be used unless the after hours operation is active. To configure threshold settings, Enable Auto After Hours must be selected in the configurator.

Figure 7 FX-3500 Configurator Date and Time Settings

The panel can provide up to 280mA of current to the devices on the loop at normal standby. For device currents see Appendix F - Battery Calculations on page 100.

Page 33

For further information refer to the device Installation Instructions and other documentation provided with the addressable devices, bases, and isolators.

5.1.4 Drift Compensation

Drift Compensation is built into AP devices and CLIP devices Models MIX-2251TMB and MIX7251B, and is not performed by the panel. Drift Compensation is not provided for other CLIP devices.

Drift compensation automatically adjusts for gradually increasing effects of dust and other accumulations of dirt in the detectors. It will adjust the thresholds to compensate for a detector going dirty according to the gradual change in the normal clean air value receive d. When it can no longer compensate for an increasingly dirty detector, a dirty detector trouble is indicated for that device.

5.1.5 Auto Test

Periodically each detector is commanded to return an alarm value to test its ability to alarm. If the device fails the test, a trouble is indicated on that device. This trouble is latched until system reset.

5.2 Configurable Input Types

Operation

Input devices and modules m ay be configured as one of many possible inpu t types. Table 13 identifies the device types assignable to each input type. For device type descriptions see

5.2.1 Alarm Input (Non-Verified)

An un-bypassed, non-verified alarm input entering into alarm activates the common alarm sequence.

Common Alarm Sequence

• Updates un-byp assed relay, signal, and strobe outputs based upon the ir configuration.

• Activates Alarm zone status indicators associated with the input.

• Alarm input activations d isplay first and as the highest priority on the shared display in

the common queue.

• Devices configured as alarm inputs display a pre-alarm condition on the shared display

and on the alarm zone status indicator.

• Restoring the pre-alarm condition clears the status. If the input goes from pre-alarm to

alarm, the pre-alarm status will be replaced with the alarm status for the input.

• Devices configured as alarm inputs display an alarm condition on the shared display

and on the alarm zone status indicator.

• Once an alarm input is in alarm the alarm condition is latched until system reset

(changes in status from alarm to pre-alarm or to normal are ignored).

5.2.2 Supervisory Input s

Attention: Non-latching supervisory inputs are not permitted in Canada unless

done so by the AHJ as per ULC-S527-11 4.6.3.

Devices can be configured as latching or non-latching supervisory inputs. Any un-bypassed supervisory input entering alarm activates the common supervisory sequence.

Common Supervisory Sequence

• Updates un-byp assed relay, signal, and strobe outputs based upon the ir configuration.

• Activates Supervisory zone status indicators associated with the input.

• Supervisory input activations display as the second highest priority on the shared

display in the common queue.

• Devices configured as supervisory inputs display as supervisory conditions on the

shared display and on the supervisory zone status indicator.

Page 35

• Restoring the non-latching supervisory input returns all outputs correlated to the input,

that are not correlated to another active input, to normal.

• Zone display indicators update announcing the input is no longer active and removes

the message from the shared display common queue.

• If there are no other active supervisory inputs the common supervisory condition will be

restored.

Latched supervisory inputs operate the same as non-latched supervisory inputs with one exception:

• A normal to off-normal status change indication shall be latched and only manually

resettable at the control unit or display and control centre.

5.2.3 Building/Property Safety Input

Building/Property Safety Inputs may include but are not limited to: fan status, dampers, motors, elevators, telephones, etc.

Building/Property Safety Inputs may be programmed to LED Indicators. The input status will activate the LED as configured.

• Building input activations display as the thir d highest priority on the shared di splay in the

common queue. They are lower than supervisory and higher than troubles.

• May also be programmed to relay, signal, and strobe outputs.

Operation

Caution: Correlating signal and strobe devices to building/property safety inputs

requires the approval of the AHJ and are not to be used for fire events.

• When an un-bypassed building circuit activates, the status display and programmed

outputs are activated.

• Restoring the building status returns all outputs correlated to the inp ut, that are not

correlated to another active input, to normal.

Note: Devices used for building inputs are to be isolated from fire operation. It is

required that these devices are placed on a separate SLC loop if Class B wiring is used, otherwise wire the devices according to Class A (Style 7) to accomplish isolation.

5.2.4 Priority Alarm

Increases the polling frequency and optimizes the transmission of data from the device.

5.2.5 Trouble-Only Input

An active condition on an un-bypassed trouble-only input initiates the common trouble sequence as a non-latching trouble.

• Activates Trouble zone status indicators associated with the input.

• Trouble input activations display as the lowest priority on the shared display in the

common queue.

Page 36

• May also be programmed to relay, signal, and strobe outputs.

Note: Trouble conditions initiated as a result of a trouble-only input activating is

separate from the circuit or device supervision trouble.

5.2.6 Waterflow Alarm Input

Waterflow inputs are sampled every second. 10 samples in alarm in any given 15 second period confirms the alarm condition. Therefore from a continuous input activation the alarm will be processed within 10s.

LED Indication

The Alarm Zone LED indicator flashes when one sample indicates an alarm condition. If the alarm is confirmed the LED indicator will illuminate steady. If 15 seconds elapses without any samples in the alarm condition the LED Indicator will turn OFF. The waterflow retard operation

operates regardless of whether or not the system is in alarm.

Operation

Note: Do not use the retard operation with any external retarding device.

5.2.7 System Status Correlations

The following System Status processes can be correlated to configured (mini) monitor modules:

• System Reset

• Fire Drill

• Acknowledge

• Total Evacuation

• Buzzer Silence

• Signal Silence

• Acknowledge Genera l Alarm

• Auxiliary Disconnect

Attention: Devices correlated with any of the above System Statuses need to be

contained within a secured enclosure accessibly only to those with the proper authority.

5.2.8 Audible Walktest

Configures (mini) monitor modules as audible when conducting a walktest. For more information on performing a walktest see 5.11.5 Walk Test.

5.2.9 Silent Test

Configures (mini) monitor modules as silent when conducting a walktest. For more information on performing a walktest see 5.11.5 Walk Test.

Page 37

5.2.10 Manual Day/Night

Configures (mini) monitor modules for manual day/night alarm thresholds. For more information on alarm thresholds see 5.1.3 Alarm Conditions.

5.2.11 Auto Day/Night

Configures (mini) monitor modules for auto day/night alarm thresholds. For more information on alarm thresholds see 5.1.3 Alarm Conditions.

5.2.12 V erified Alarm Input

Un-bypassed verified alarm inputs entering into alarm are verified over a period of time to determine if the alarm condition is valid.

Addressable / Analog Device Verification Process If the system is not already in alarm:

1. A device entering into alarm initiates a 30 second delay timer.

2. When the 30 second delay times out the device is monitored for the next 60 seconds.

3. If the same device enters into alarm again during this time the alarm is confirmed. The following will also confirm the alarm:

Operation

• Any additional Alarm Input activating aborts the verification process and confirms

the alarm.

• Any trouble detected on the circuit being verified aborts the verification process

and confirms the alarm.

LED Indication

The Alarm Zone LED indicator flashes for the duration of the verification process. If the alarm is not confirmed the LED turns off. If the alarm is confirmed the LED illuminates steady.

Note: Conventional smoke detectors cannot utilize alarm verification with M502(AP)

zone modules.

5.3 Output Types

Output devices and modules may be configured as one of many possible output types. Table 14 identifies the device types assignable to each output type. For device type descriptions see sections 5.3.1 to 5.3.3

Output modules on the addressable/analog loop may be configured as any of the following output types:

• Signals

• Strobes

• Relay outputs

Configurator

Additional Operation Features

• When using CLIP devices once the FACP activates the sensor LED, an attached Relay/

Sounder base and any Remote Devices wired to the base are also activated. Suppressing the device LED via the NF flag in the configurator means the Relay/ Sounder base and any Remote devices wired to the base will not activate.

• When using AP devices the FACP activates the sensor LED and the Remote Device

output separately. Suppressing the device LED via the NF flag in the configurator still allows the activation of any remote device wired to th e base . Th e AP pro to co l does not support Relay/Sounder Bases at this time+.

• The panel can synchronize strobes directly without the use of the synchro n ou s mo du le .

• Depending on the device, the system can detect open and short troubles and rep ort it as

an output circuit trouble.

Supv Output

Module

5.3.1 Signal Output

For audible devices such as bells and piezo mini-horns. Signals operate in alert (two stage) and/or evacuation rate.

5.3.2 Strobe Type Settings

Normal (non-synchronized)

• Strobe circuits operate similar to signals except that they are always turned ON

continuously (they are not affected by the alert or evacuation rates) if configured as Normal.

• Configuring strobes as Normal does not use a sync protocol for the output circuit.

• Silenceable or non-silenceable.

Synchronized

Output circuits can be configured with various synchronization protocols. When the output circuit is configured as strobe and also configured as non-silenceable and the

device used on the output is a combination of horn and strobe, then if the signal silence is activated while the circuit is active the hor n(s) are silenced while the strobe keep s on flashin g.

Synchronized strobes and strobe/horn models of the following manufacturers are supported: System Sensor, Wheelock, Secutron, and Mircom.

Note: Sile ncing of the h or n depen ds on th e feat u re pr ovided by the manu fa ctu rer of the

horn/strobe combination. Some models of the horn/strobe combination may not have this feature and will not work as described above.

Page 39

5.3.3 Relay Output

Un-bypassed relay outputs are activated if any un-bypassed input circuit or common system status which has been programmed to it is active. If the relay is configured as silenceable it is inhibited when common auxiliary disconnect is active. Relays also turned off if they are bypassed or if all inputs and system status correlated to the Relay Output are restored or bypassed.

5.4 NAC Circuit Operation

NAC Circuits can be configured as

• Signal Output

• Strobe Output

• Relay Output

For more information on Outputs see 5.3 Output Types. Powered output circuits are supervised while they are not active for both open circuits and

shorts.

Operation

The circuit will not be activated if there is a short trouble on the circuit. It will be activated if an open trouble is indicated. A circuit trouble activates the common trouble sequence as a nonlatching trouble. Since open circuit supervision does not operate while the circuit is in alarm, if the circuit was in trouble before it was activated, it will still indicate trouble while active. The trouble condition will be re-evaluated when supervision resumes.

Output circuits configured as strobes can have sync protocol for synchronization if configured. Certain strobe and strobe/horns models of the following brands are supported:

• Mircom

• Secutron

• System Sensor

• Wheelock

For a complete list of compatible Horn/Strobes see 9.2 FX-3500 Compatible Horn/Strobes. When configured as normal, the output circuit is ON continuously when activated and does not

use any sync protocol. When configured as non-silenceable strobes, the strobes cannot be silenced, but the horn can be silenced by pressing the 'signal silence' button.

If the strobe is configured as silenceable strobe both the horn and the strobe are silenced (stopped) by pressing the 'signal silence' button.

Page 40

5.5 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

• Waterflow alarm

• Sprinkler alarm

Any of the above alarm inputs activating when the panel is not already in alarm cause the following:

• The buzzer sounds steady.

• Cancels active fire drill.

• Common Alarm LED turns ON.

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

• The Auto Signal Silence timer activates (if configured).

• The Signal Silence Inhibit timer activates (if configured).

• If Aux disconnect is not active, activates all non-disconnected indicating circuits

programmed to the input.

• Activates non-disconnected strobes associated with the input.

• Activates non-disconnected signals associated with the input at the evacuation rate.

Operation

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

• The alert buzzer sounds steady.

• Resounds silenced signals, turns off the Signal Silence LED, and restarts the Auto

Signal Silence timer (if configured).

• Activates continuously any additional non-disconnected strobes associated with the

input.

• Activates at the evacua tion rate any additional non-disconnected signals associated

with the new input.

5.6 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

• Water-flow alarm

Second stage inputs include the following:

• Alarms on the general alarm inputs.

• Activation of the General Alarm button.

• Expiration of the Auto General Alarm timer.

Any of the above alarm inputs activating when the panel is not already in alarm cause the following:

• The buzzer sounds steady.

Page 41

• Cancels active fire drill.

• Common Alarm LED turns ON.

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

• The Auto Signal Silence timer activates (if configured).

• The Signal Silence Inhibit timer activates (if configured).

• If Aux disconnect is not active, activates all non-disconnected indicating circuits

programmed to the input.

If the alarm is a Second S tage alarm, the following occurs:

• Activates non-disconnected strobes associated with the input.

• Activates non-disconnected signals associated with the input at the evacuation rate.

• General Alarm LED illuminates steady.

If the alarm is a First Stage alarm, the following occurs:

• Activates continuously non-disconnected strobe circuits programmed to that circuit.

• Activates with the alert code non-disconnected signal circuits programmed to that

circuit.

• Activates the Auto General Alarm timer (if configured).

• Acknowledge LED flashes.

Operation

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

• The buzzer sounds steady.

• Resounds silenced signals, turns off the Signal Silence LED, and restarts the Auto

Signal Silence timer (if configured).

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

signals programmed to the new input with the Alert Code (see 5.3 Output Types on page 37).

• If the panel is not already in General Alarm and the Acknowledge LED is ON steady

indicating that the Auto General Alarm timer has been acknowledge d, restarts the timer and extinguishes the Acknowledge LED.

A second stage alarm (general alarm) when the p anel is alread y in alarm causes the fo llowing:

• The buzzer sounds steady.

• Activates all non-disconnected signals at the evacuation rate.

• If the Signal Silence LED is ON, it turns OFF and restarts the Auto Signal Silence timer

(if configured).

• If the Acknowledge LED is ON, turns the LED OFF.

• The General Alarm LED illuminates steady.

Alarm inputs are latching, they remain active until system reset.

Note: All circuits with process type designated as “signal or strobe” are automatically

correlated to the “fire drill” and “general alarm” status.

7.7 System Checkout

The following are the recommended steps before and during the powering up of the FX-3500.

7.7.1 Before Turning The Power ON

1. To prevent sparkin g, DO NOT connect the batteries first. Connecting the batteries is only to be done after the system has been powered from the main AC Supply.

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. Close the front cover plate before powering the system from main AC supply.

7.7.2 Power-up Procedure

1. After completing 7.7.1 Before Turning The Power ON procedures, power-up the panel. The green AC-ON LED should illuminate.

2. Since the batteries are not connected, the Battery Trouble LED should illuminate, the Common Trouble LED should flash and the Trouble Relay (on the main board) will be active.

3. Connect the batteries while observing correct polarity; the red wire is positive (+) and black wire is negative (-).

4. All indicators should extinguish except for normal power AC-ON green LED.

Wiring

7.8 Troubleshooting

The following are common methods to solving Circuit Ground Fault, Battery and Common troubles.

7.8.1 Circuit Trouble

Normally when a circuit trouble occurs, the Common Trouble indicator will be illuminated and the common trouble relay will be active. Additionally, the corresponding LED on the main board will be illuminated. This can be viewed by opening the panel and looking the top of the board. To correct the fault, check for open wiring on that particular circuit loop.

7.8.2 Ground Fault

This panel has a common ground fault detector. To correct the fault, check for any external wiring touching the chassis or other Earth Ground connection.

7.8.3 Battery Trouble

Check for the presence of batteries and their conditions. Low voltage (below 20.4V) will cause a battery trouble. If battery trouble condition persists, replace batteries as soon as possible.

7.8.4 Common Trouble

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

• any missing interconnection wiring

• improperly secured cabling
