CAUTIONS

1. BATTERY MAINTENANCE INSTALLATION CAUTIONS

Initial preparation before installation:­Verify no abnormalities on battery case (like crack or leakage)
Free air space must be provided between each battery. Recommended minimum space is 5~10mm
(0.02~0.04 inches).
Set the batteries firmly in the equipment. Otherwise, batteries may be damaged, or connection
conductivity may be decreased due to shock. When batteries are used in vibration conditions, they
shall be mounted in upright position and with proper cushion for protecting vibration.
Avoid mixed usage of batteries differing in capacity, manufacturer, storage or charge/discharge
conditions. Batteries may be damaged after cycles due to difference in electrical characteristics.

2. REGULAR CHECK AND REPLACE PRECAUTIONS

Measure the total voltage of the batteries during float charge to see whether there is any abnormal
deviation and investigate the situation.
TRANSPORTATION PRECAUTIONS
Handle the batteries carefully to avoid injuries.
Avoid moisture or rain on the batteries and cartons.
Transport the batteries in the upright position and avoid abnormally strong shock / vibration.
Do not lift a battery by its terminal. Otherwise, internal construction may be damaged and leakage
may occur.

3. OTHER PRECAUTIONS

Clean battery with wet soft cloth. Never apply oil, polyvinyl chloride or organic solvents (like gasoline
and paint thinner) to the battery. Otherwise, battery cover may be cracked / deform and acid leakage
will result.

Do not disassemble the battery. Otherwise, sulphuric acid will flow out.
If sulphuric acid deposit on to skin or cloth, wash immediately with water. If splashed into eyes, wash
with a large amount of water and consult medical physician immediately.
Avoid dusting by cloth duster or dry cloth (particularly chemical textile), as they will generate static
electricity which is dangerous.
Wash your hands after handling battery.
Do not short the battery terminals.
Never dispose battery into fire.

MA-1000 FACP

1 General

The MA-1000 provides all of the sophisticated features required of a leading edge analog fire
system along with the simple operation and neat installation demanded by both installers and
building users.

The panel can be flush or surface mounted and the generously sized metal back box allows ample
facilities for rear or top cable entries.

A comprehensive range of ancillary devices is available to operate with MA-1000, including Optical,
Ionization, photo-thermal and heat detectors.

Each of the MA-1000 system components has been specifically designed to operate as part of a
MA-1000 system, this provides an assurance that the panel, the detectors, the interfaces and the
ancillaries are all fully compatible with one another and that the full range of system functionality is
supported by each device.

1.1 Product Features

Maximum charger capacity: 18 amp hour battery (two 7 amp hour batteries can be housed in the
enclosure. Larger batteries require a separate Battery Cabinet MBC “Mini Battery Cabinet”
manufactured by space age.

SLC Circuits

The MA-1000 Panel comes with two SLCs loops (optional 4 SLC loop card) which has the following
parameters:
Supply voltage: 24 VDC nominal, 27.6 VDC maximum.
Addressable Loops
Max Number: 2
Max Load per loop: 60 mA
Maximum loop current is 150 mA (short circuit)
Max Number of Addressable Devices per loop: 200
The total number of addresses per loop is 200; this includes detectors, manual pulls and all other
addressable items. When designing systems it’s recommended that allowances are made for future
expansion, Short circuit isolators are incorporated into every MA-1000 loop device, including Smoke
detectors, heat detectors, sounders, manual pulls and interfaces. Therefore, no further fault
protection is required, in the event of a single fault; none of the devices connected to the loop will fail
to operate as the fault will be isolated by the two adjacent devices.
T-tap connected devices downstream of a cable fault will cease to function.

1.3 Controls and Indicators

Front Panel Membrane User Buttons
Acknowledge

This function, also abbreviated to "ACK", is used to acknowledge an abnormal situation such as an
alarm or trouble condition. The acknowledge function tells the panel that building personnel or
emergency responders are aware of the alarm, trouble, or supervisory condition. Acknowledging the
alarm or trouble condition also normally silences the panel's own sounder.

Alarm Silence

Also known as "audible silence". Depending on the configuration of the alarm system, this function
will either silence the system's notification appliances completely, or will silence only the audible
alarm, with strobe lights continuing to flash. Audible silence allows for easier communication
amongst emergency responders while responding to an alarm. This can also be used during
construction as a means of a preliminary test, before the final full test.

Reset

This resets the panel after an alarm condition. All initiating devices are reset, and the panel is
cleared of any alarm conditions. If an initiating device is still in alarm after the system is reset, such
as a smoke detector continuing to sense smoke, or a manual pull station still in an activated
position, another alarm will be initiated.

LED Indicators
AC Green LED

AC power (green light) when this indicator is lit, power is being provided to the system from the
building's electrical system, and not from the backup battery. When an AC power condition changes,
the Trouble indicator comes on and the AC power indicator goes off and the screen alerts building
personnel of a power failure. If the AC power indicator is lit without any other indicators also lit, then
the system is in a normal condition. If no LEDs are lit, there is no power source feeding the panel.

ALARM Red LED

Alarm (red light) This indicator is lit when an alarm condition exists in the system, initiated by smoke
detectors, heat detectors, sprinkler flow switches, manual pull stations, manual call points, or
otherwise. Along with the indicator on the panel, notification appliances, such as horns and strobes,
are also activated, signaling a need to evacuate to building occupants. In an alarm condition, the fire
alarm panel indicates where the alarm originated. The alarm panel can be reset once the device
which initiated the alarm is reset, such as returning the handle of a manual pull station to its normal
position.

TROUBLE Yellow LED

Trouble/Fault (yellow light) When held steady or flashing, it means that a trouble condition exists on
the panel. Trouble conditions are often activated by a contaminated smoke detector or an electrical
problem within the system. Trouble conditions are also activated by a zone being disabled
(disconnected from the system), a circuit being disabled, low power on the backup battery, the
disabling of a notification appliance, the ground faults, or short or open circuits. The alarm panel's
sounder will activate if a trouble condition exists. In a trouble condition, the panel displays the zone
or devices causing the condition. The "Trouble" indicator goes out automatically when the situation
causing the trouble condition is rectified.

10

SILENCE Yellow LED

Also known as "audible silence". Depending on the configuration of the alarm system, this function
will either silence the system's notification appliances completely, or will silence only the audible
alarm, with strobe lights continuing to flash. Audible silence allows for easier communication
amongst emergency responders while responding to an alarm. This can also be used during
construction as a means of a preliminary test, before the final full test.

SUPERVISORY Yellow LED

Supervisory (yellow light) This signal indicates that a portion of the building's fire protection system
has been disabled (such as a fire sprinkler control valve being closed and, consequentially, a
sprinkler tamper switch being activated), or, less frequently, that a lower priority initiating device has
been triggered (such as a duct smoke detector). The "Supervisory" indicator requires a "Reset" to
clear.

Local Piezo Sounder

A Piezo sounder provides separate and distinct sounds for alarm, trouble, and supervisory
conditions as follows:
Alarm - on steady
Trouble - pulse 1 second on and 1 second off
Supervisory - pulse ½ second on and ½ second off

2.3 Calculating Maximum Current Draw and Battery Backup Requirements

This section will assist you in determining the maximum system current draw and standby battery
needs for your installation. Follow the steps below to determine the current draw and standby
battery requirements. Appendix B—MA-1000 Current Draw/Battery Backup lists the standby and
alarm current draw for the panel. Total standby and alarm Current is determined by multiplying the
quantity of items by its current draw. To quickly determine maximum system current draw, perform
the following computations:
Download the “Backup Calculation.xls” file from www..biz
Fill in the quantities of conventional detectors, addressable detectors and devices.
Fill in the quantities and current draw of the Notification Appliances or auxiliary-powered devices for
each output from the manual for each specific device.
Fill in the total quantities of detectors and modules. The detectors and modules total alarm current
is determinate by estimation method, under the hypothesis that 5% LED will be ON.
The required battery capacity is determined according to equation
Cb >= (Isb* Tsb + Ia*Ta)*1.1
Where:
Cb- required battery capacity, Ah
Isb – standby current, A
Tsb – supervisory time, 24 or 60 hours
Ia – alarm current, A
Ta – alrm time, 5 min (0.0833 hours)

1.1 – safety factor.
Make sure the total alarm current you calculated (including current for the panel itself) does not
exceed 4.5 Amps. This is the maximum alarm current allowable.

Calculation example is shown in the following table (1-2).

3.2.2.2 One Man Walk Test

Walk test mode allows a single engineer to test the various detectors and call points on
a system without always having to return to the panel either to reset the system or
silence the alarms.
When in WALK TEST MODE, the system operates as normal except that when a
detector or call point goes into alarm, the alarms only operate for a few seconds and
then will silence. The panel then tries to reset the device automatically and, if
successful, the alarms are operated again for a few seconds and the installation
engineer can move on to the next detector. After a full test has been carried out the
engineer can check the order in which the detectors/call points were operated using the
DISPLAY LOG mode. This information can also be printed on the optional printer.
When the panel is in “Walk Test Mode” the control panel inserts a different code into the
log and also onto the print-out. This is to distinguish between when a device has been
tested in “Walk Test Mode” and when a device has been triggered while in normal
operation.
The following differences will occur:
a) When in the LOG mode, "One man walk test”" will appear on the display followed by
the address text and device type.
b) On the printout a “One man walk test” message will appear will appear followed by
the address text and device type.

3.3 GAS Releasing
Gas A

GAS A is used for releasing operation for a room.

The following set-up of the panel parameters:

1. FSUOM-G= >Output double knock & MCP Override .Trigger by
address only = Must only be connected to sounder 1 the FSUOM-G
module has built in timers for the use of releasing gas with a 30 second
delay ON and a 15 second delay off to prevent the solenoid
overheating.

42

2. FSUOM-S=> The FSUOM-S is used for the Internal Horn and external
lamp according to its usage as stated below. The sounders are non­silenceable both sounders 1& 2 may be used for this operation.

Two or more detectors and a call-point (manual pull) must be grouped ( by address),
when one detector detects an alarm the panel will go into a normal alarm condition the
alarm relay will change state, the alarm led will activate including the nac ‘s.
When the second detector detects an alarm condition the global alarm nac will activate
(silenceable), output of the FSUOM-S will activate the internal horn and the external
lamp after 30 seconds the output of the FSUOM-G (Solenoid) will activate. FSUOM-G
and will deactivate after 12 seconds.

When operating the call-point (manual pull) at any-time will activate the solenoid as an
xzone.

GASB is used for releasing operation “Aerosol usage”.
The following set-up of the panel parameters and FSUOM-G occur:

FSUOM-G => Output = Double knock & MCP Override, trigger by zone. Release time
30 seconds.

43

Two or more detectors and a call-point must be grouped( by zone), when one detector
detects an alarm condition the panel treats that alarm condition as a normal alarm
condition the alarm relay will change state, the alarm led will activate, nac will activate
(silenceable).
When the second detector detects an alarm condition the common alarm nac will
activate (silenceable), output of FSUOM-G will activate after 30 seconds and will
deactivate after 12 seconds.

SLC Circuits

The MA-1000 Panel comes with two SLCs (one loop card) which have the following
parameters:
Supply voltage: 24VDC

Addressable Loops
Max Number: 2
Max Loop Load per loop: 60 mA
Max Number of Addressable Devices per loop: 200
Loop lengths: The maximum permitted loop length is 2 km measured from the near to
the far terminals.
The total number of addresses per loop is 200; this includes detectors, manual pulls and
all other addressable items. When designing systems it’s recommended that
allowances are made for future expansion, Short circuit isolators are incorporated into
every MA-1000 loop device, including Smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pulls
and interfaces. Therefore, no further fault protection is required, in the event of a single
fault; none of the devices connected to the loop will fail to operate as the fault will be
isolated by the two adjacent devices.
