Installation Precautions - Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:

WARNING - Several different sources of power can be connected to the fire alarm

control panel. Disconnect all sources of power before servicing. Control unit and

associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards,

modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to

install, service, or operate this unit until this manual is read and understood.

CAUTION - System Reacceptance Test after Software Changes: To ensure

proper system operation, this product must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72-

1993 Chapter 7 after any programming operation or change in site-specific software.

Reacceptance testing is required after any change, addition or deletion of system

components, or after any modification, repair or adjustment to system hardware or

wiring.

All components, circuits, system operations, or software functions known to be

affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addition, to ensure that other

operations are not inadvertently affected, at least 10% of initiating devices that are

not directly affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must also be

tested and proper system operation verified.

This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0-49O C/32-120O F

and at a relative humidity of 85% RH (non-condensing) at 30O C/86O F.

However, the useful life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic

components may be adversely affected by extreme temperature ranges and

humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that this system and its peripherals be

installed in an environment with a nominal room temperature of 15-27O C/60-80

F.

Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indicating device loops.

Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% I.R. drop from the specified device

voltage.

Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may operate erratically or can

be damaged when subjected to lightning induced transients. Although no system is

completely immune from lightning transients and interferences, proper grounding will

reduce susceptibility. Overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended, due to

an increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Technical

Services Department if any problems are anticipated or encountered.

Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or inserting circuit boards.

Failure to do so can damage circuits.

Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling, filing, reaming, or punching

of the enclosure. When possible, make all cable entries from the sides or rear.

Before making modifications, verify that they will not interfere with battery,

transformer, and printed circuit board location.

Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Over tightening may damage

threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact pressure and difficulty with screw

terminal removal.

This system contains static-sensitive components. Always ground yourself with a

proper wrist strap before handling any circuits so that static charges are removed

from the body. Use static suppressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies

removed from the unit.

O

Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and programming manuals.

These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to the control panel and

associated equipment. FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper

installation.

Fire Alarm System Limitations

An automatic fire alarm system - typically made up of smoke detectors, heat

detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control

with remote notification capability can provide early warning of a developing fire.

Such a system, however, does not assure protection against property damage or

loss of life resulting from a fire.

Any fire alarm system may fail for a variety of reasons:

Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach the detectors such

as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke

detectors also may not sense a fire on another level or floor of a building. A second

floor detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or basement fire. Further-

more, all types of smoke detectors - both ionization and photoelectric types, have

sensing limitations. No type of smoke detector can sense every kind of fire caused

by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions,

escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical

circuits, children playing with matches, or arson.

IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in the same room as the

control panel and in rooms used by the system for the connection of alarm

transmission wiring, communications, signaling, and/or power. If detectors are

not so located, a developing fire may damage the alarm system, crippling its

ability to report a fire.

While installing a fire alarm system may make lower insurance

rates possible, it is not a substitute for fire insurance!

FCC Warning

Audible warning devices such as bells may not alert people if these devices are

located on the other side of closed or partly open doors or are located on another

floor of a building.

A fire alarm system will not operate without any electrical power. If AC power fails,

the system will operate from standby batteries only for a specified time.

Rate-of-Rise heat detectors may be subject to reduced sensitivity over time. For

this reason, the rate-of-rise feature of each detector should be tested at least once

per year by a qualified fire protection specialist.

Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible with the control.

It is essential to use only equipment listed for service with your control panel.

Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premise to a central

monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily disabled.

The most common cause of fire alarm malfunctions, however, is inadequate

maintenance. All devices and system wiring should be tested and maintained by

professional fire alarm installers following written procedures supplied with each

device. System inspection and testing should be scheduled monthly or as required

by National and/or local fire codes. Adequate written records of all inspections should

be kept.

WARNING: This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency

energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may

cause interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply

with the limits for class A computing device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC

Rules, which is designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference

when operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a

residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user will be required

to correct the interference at his own expense.

2.2 Control Switches

Tone Silence

Acknowledge alarms, troubles and supervisories. The panel has alarm
and trouble resound with LED flash of new conditions. The flashing
trouble LED(s) illuminate steadily on TONE SILENCE and the piezo
sounder silences. A second trouble will resound the piezo. The piezo
has three distinct sounds for alarm, trouble, and supervisory. Trouble
conditions are self restoring. Alarms and supervisories latch and require
RESET to clear.

Alarm Silence

Acknowledge for alarms and supervisories. The ALARM SILENCE
switch will silence the local piezo, change any flashing alarm LEDs to
steady, and turn off the notification appliance circuits. The “ALARM
SILENCED” LED will illuminate. Alarm silence is a latching function and
requires a RESET to clear.

Note: If Silence Inhibit has been selected (SW1, DIP switch #4 set to "ON"),
the Alarm Silence will not function until 60 seconds after the initiation of the
alarm.

Alarm Activate

The ALARM ACTIVATE switch may be used to activate Notification
Appliance Circuits. ALARM ACTIVATE also activates the System
Alarm relay. ALARM ACTIVATE is a latching function. Pressing
ALARM SILENCE silences the notification appliance circuits and Sys­tem Alarm Relay and lights the Alarm Silenced LED. Pressing RESET
returns the system to normal.

System Reset

The RESET switch breaks power to all initiating device circuits, 4-wire
smoke power and option boards and will clear any activated output
circuits. If any alarm or trouble still exists after reset, they will reactivate
the panel. Holding RESET down will perform a LAMP TEST function and
will activate the piezo sounder.

2.3 Zone Status LEDs

The alarm and/or trouble LED(s) will flash until the
event(s) has been acknowledged (TONE or
ALARM SILENCE), at which point the LED(s) will
illuminate steadily.

Note: If zone 4 is set for supervisory, the red alarm LED
is not used.

2.4 Supervisory

Zone 4 is always used for monitoring supervisory devices (such as valve tamper switches) by setting SW1
DIP switch 3 to "ON" (see Sections
circuit on this zone (activation of a N.O. contact) will cause the supervisory LED and the zone 4 yellow LED
to flash. The piezo sounder will generate a unique sound . Pressing TONE SILENCE will silence the piezo
and cause the supervisory LED to illuminate steadily,
Supervisory signals latch and require RESET to clear. The ALARM SILENCE switch will silence the piezo,
cause the supervisory LED to illuminate steadily and turn off the Supervisory Notification Appliance Circuit.
An open circuit on Zone 4 will be reported as a zone trouble.

2.5 Zone Disable

If a zone has been disabled, an alarm that occurs on that zone will flash
the red zone LED, but neither the piezo nor any output circuit will activate.

If both power sources are removed from the system, all zones will be re­enabled upon restoration of power. Disable status will be lost.

The Zone Disable routine makes use of the four panel switches as follows:

1) Press and hold in the TONE SILENCE switch.

2) With the TONE SILENCE switch held in, press (in sequence) the ALARM
SILENCE switch, the ALARM ACTIVATE switch, and then the RESET
switch.

Note: The RESET switch toggles disable status for the selected zone.

5) To select the next zone, press the ALARM SILENCE switch.

6) To select the previous zone, press the ALARM ACTIVATE switch.

7) When disable selections are complete, release the TONE SILENCE switch.

If any zone has been disabled, the trouble relay will activate and System Trouble LED will flash.

2.6 Last Event Recall

Last Event Recall allows the user to display the previous panel status. The last event recall uses the four
panel switches as follows:

1) Press and hold in the TONE SILENCE switch.

2) With the TONE SILENCE switch held in, press (in sequence) the RESET switch, the ALARM
ACTIVATE switch, and then the ALARM SILENCE switch.

3) Last Event is displayed.

4) Release the TONE SILENCE switch to return to normal operation.

Switch 1: Alarm Verification

If selected, alarm signals that occur on any zone will
be subjected to a two-minute verification period to
determine if the alarm is true. Note that the control
panel will distinguish if the alarm signal came from
a shorting-type contact device (manual pull station,
4 wire detector, or heat detector) or a two-wire
smoke detector, and will not employ verification of
alarm signals from the contact devices.

Switch 2: Waterflow on Zone 3

If set for Waterflow, Initiating Device circuit 3 will
function as a waterflow circuit. If an alarm occurs on
this zone, the ALARM SILENCE switch will not
silence any activated output circuits.

Switch 3: Supervisory on Zone 4

If set for Supervisory, Initiating Device Circuit 4 will
function as a supervisory circuit. Activation of a
tamper or other supervisory switch on this circuit will
not result in an alarm condition. The piezo will sound
a distinct pulsing tone and the yellow LED on zone
4 will flash along with the supervisory LED. Notifi­cation Appliance Circuits 1 and 2 will activate (see
Section

"Output Circuits"

).

Switch 4: Silence Inhibit

If selected and an alarm occurs, the
ALARM SILENCE switch will not func­tion until 60 seconds have passed since
initiation of the alarm. If another alarm
occurs, the timer will restart at 60 sec­onds.

Switch 5: Disable Bells

When this switch is set "ON", the four
Indicating Appliance Circuits and the
SYSTEM ALARM relay will be disabled,
and a local trouble signal will be gener­ated.

Switch 6: One Man Walk Test

Setting this switch to the "ON" position
places the control panel in Walk Test
Mode. The first alarm on Initiating Cir­cuit under test will ring associated Indi­cating Circuit(s) for 5 seconds. Zone
Alarm LED will flash. The second alarm
on Initiating Circuit under test will ring
associated Notification Circuit(s) for 1
second. Zone Alarm LED will illuminate
Steadily. A Trouble condition on Initiat­ing Circuit under test will sound piezo
and light Zone Trouble LED.

Note: The Reset key must depressed after any switch configuration has been made.
