• DO comply with all codes and standards set
forth by the Authority Having Jurisdiction.

The term “Authority Having Jurisdiction” has
become a standard term in the fire alarm
industry. An acceptable definition of “Authority
Having Jurisdiction” is:
Fire alarm systems installed in the USA fall under
the jurisdiction of some authority. In some areas
this may be a local fire department; in other areas
it may be a building inspector, insurance firm, etc.
Different authorities may have their own local
requirements for the way the fire alarm system is
installed and used. Most local authorities base
their requirements on the National Fire Protection
Agency (NFPA) codes, but there may be
important differences. You must install this
system in the way in which the Authority Having
Jurisdiction requires. If you do not know which
authority has jurisdiction in your area, contact
your local fire department or building inspector for
guidance. It is important that you tell users to be
aware of any requirements defined by the
Authority Having Jurisdiction.

injuries. Therefore, only qualified technicians familiar
with electrical hazards should perform checkout
procedures.
Safety glasses should be worn, and test equipment
used for voltage measurements should be designed
for this purpose and be in good working order.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:

It is important that this equipment be operated
within its specifications:

• Recommended operating
temperature range:

• Absolute maximum
operating temperature
range:

• Operating humidity:

Operating this equipment within the
recommended temperature range will extend the
useful life of the system standby batteries.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS:

Check that you have all of the equipment you
need to make the installation. Follow the field
wiring diagrams and installation notes in this
manual.
Install the equipment in a clean, dry environment
(minimal dust). Avoid installing equipment where
vibrations will occur.
Remove all electronic assemblies prior to drilling,
filing, reaming, or punching the enclosure. When
possible, make all cable entries from the sides;
being careful to separate the power-limited
conductors from the non power-limited
conductors. Before making modifications, verify
that they will not interfere with battery,
transformer and printed circuit board location.
Do not over-tighten screw terminals. Over­tightening may damage threads, resulting in

reduced terminal contact pressure and difficulty
with screw terminal removal. Disconnect all
sources of power before servicing, removing, or
inserting any circuit boards. Control unit and
associated equipment may be damaged by
removing and/or inserting cards, sub-assemblies,
or interconnecting cables while the unit is
energized

WIRING CONSIDERATIONS:

This fire alarm control panel contains power­limited circuits. You cannot connect external
sources of power to these circuits without
invalidating their approval.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all
initiating device and notification appliance
circuits. Most devices cannot tolerate more than
a 10% drop from the specified device voltage.
The installer must make sure that the wiring and
devices installed in the system meet the current
National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, and all
applicable state and local building code
requirements.
Use the conductor size and type required by local
codes. (See NFPA 70, Article 760). Wiring
resistance must not be more than that shown on
the field wiring diagrams.
To reduce errors and help in servicing the
system, all conductors should be tagged or
otherwise coded and logged at installation to
identify circuit assignment and polarity. If the
conductors are logged with a code, keep the log
that explains the code with the manual, so that it
is available to other people working on the panel.
Like all solid state electronic devices, this system
may operate erratically or be damaged when
subjected to lightening induced transients.
Although no system is completely immune to
lightening transients and interference, proper
grounding will reduce susceptibility. We do not
recommend the use of overhead or outside aerial
wiring due to the increased susceptibility to
nearby lightening strikes. Consult with the
Gamewell-FCI Technical Support Department if
any problems are anticipated or encountered.
To prevent the spread of fire, use proper patching
materials to areas where system wiring passes
through the fire-rated walls or floors.

SURVIVABILITY:

Per the National Fire Alarm Code, NFPA 72, all
circuits necessary for the operation of the
notification appliances shall be protected until
they enter the evacuation signaling zone that
they serve. Any of the following methods shall be
considered acceptable as meeting these
requirements:

1) A 2-hour rated cable or cable system

2) A 2-hour rated enclosure

3) Performance alternatives approved by

.

Authority Having Jurisdiction

MAINTENANCE:

To keep your fire alarm system in excellent
working order, ongoing maintenance is required
per the manufacturer’s recommendations and UL
and NFPA Standards, and applicable state and
local codes. At a minimum, the requirements of
Chapter 7 of NFPA, the National Fire Alarm
Code, shall be followed. A preventative
maintenance agreement should be arranged
through the manufacturer’s local representative.
Though smoke detectors are designed for long
life, they may fail at any time. Any smoke
detector, fire alarm system, or any component of
that system shall be repaired or replaced
immediately.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

The equipment was tested according to EC
directive 89/336/EEC for Class A equipment and
was verified to the limits and methods of EN

55022.
An automatic fire alarm system—typically
made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors,
manual pull stations, audible warning devices,
and a fire alarm control panel 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.

The Manufacturer recommends that smoke
and/or heat detectors be located throughout a
protected premise following the
recommendations of the current edition of the
National Fire Protection Association NFPA
Standard 72, manufacturer’s recommendations,
State and local codes. A study by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (an agency of
the United States government) indicated that
smoke detectors may not into alarm in as many
as 35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are
designed to provide early warning against fire,
they do not guarantee warning or protection
against fire. A fire alarm system may not provide
timely or adequate warning, or simply may not
function, for a variety of reasons:

Smoke detectors may not sense fire where
smoke cannot reach the detectors such as in
chimneys, in or behind walls, on 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.

Particles of combustion or “smoke” from a
developing fire may not reach the sensing
chambers of smoke detectors because:

• Barriers such as closed or partially closed
doors, walls, or chimneys may inhibit particle or
smoke flow.

• Smoke particles may become “cold,” stratify,
and not reach the ceiling or upper walls where
detectors are located.

9000-0447 Rev. I

ii

• Smoke particles may be blown away from
detectors by air outlets.

• Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns
before reaching the detector.

The amount of “smoke” present may be
insufficient to alarm smoke detectors. Smoke
detectors are designed to alarm at various levels
of smoke density. If such density levels are not
created by a developing fire at the location of
detectors, the detectors will not go into alarm.

Smoke detectors, even when working properly,
have sensing limitations. Detectors that have
photo-electronic sensing chambers tend to detect
smoldering fires better than flaming fires, which
have little visible smoke. Detectors that have
ionizing-type sensing chambers tend to detect
fast-flaming fires better than smoldering fires.
Because fires develop in different ways and are
often unpredictable in their growth, neither type of
detector is necessarily best and a given type of
detector may not provide adequate warning of a
fire.

Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide
adequate warning of fires caused by arson,
children playing with matches (especially in
bedrooms), smoking in bed, and violent
explosions (caused by escaping gas, improper
storage of flammable materials, etc.).

Heat detectors do not sense particles of
combustion and alarm only when heat on their
sensors increases at a predetermined rate or
reaches a predetermined level. 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.
Heat detectors are designed to protect property,
not life.

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.

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. Any
warning device may fail to alert people with a
disability or those who have recently consumed
drugs, alcohol or medication. Please note that:

Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause
seizures in people with conditions such as
epilepsy.

Studies have shown that certain people, even
when they hear a fire alarm signal, do not
respond or comprehend the meaning of the

9000-0447 Rev. I

iii

signal. It is the property owner's responsibility to
conduct fire drills and other training exercise to
make people aware of fire alarm signals and
instruct them on the proper reaction to alarm
signals. In rare instances, the sounding of a
warning device can cause temporary or
permanent hearing loss.

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 and only if the batteries have been
properly maintained and replaced regularly.

Equipment used in the system may not be
technically compatible with the control panel. 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. For added protection against telephone
line failure, backup radio transmission systems
are recommended.

The most common cause of fire alarm
malfunction is inadequate maintenance. To keep
the entire fire alarm system in excellent working
order, ongoing maintenance is required per the
manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and
NFPA standards. At a minimum, the
requirements of NFPA 72 -2002-1999 shall be
followed. Environments with large amounts of
dust, dirt or high air velocity require more
frequent maintenance. A maintenance agreement
should be arranged through the local
manufacturer's representative. Maintenance
should be scheduled monthly or as required by
National and/or local fire codes and should be
performed by authorized professional fire alarm
installers only. Adequate written records of all
inspections should be kept.

While installing a fire alarm system may make the
owner eligible for a lower insurance rate, a fire
alarm system is not a substitute for insurance.
Property owners should continue to act prudently
in protecting the premises and the people in the
premises and should properly insure life and
property and buy sufficient amounts of liability
insurance to meet their needs.

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
manuals are read and understood.

CAUTION - System Re-acceptance Test after
Software Changes: To ensure proper system

operation, this product must be tested in
accordance with NFPA 72 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. Equipment used in the system
may not be technically compatible with the
control panel. It is essential to use only
equipment Listed for service with this control
panel.

This system meets Underwriter’s Laboratories
requirements for operation at 0-49º C/32-120º F
and at a relative humidity (non condensing) of
85% at 30°C (86°F) per NFPA, and 93% ± 2% at
32°C ± 2°C (89.6°F ± 1.1°F) per UL 93% ± 2%
RH (non-condensing) at 32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 3°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
normal room temperature of 15-27º C/60-80º 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 lightening induced
transients. Although no system is completely
immune from lightening transients and
interference, proper grounding will reduce
susceptibility. Overhead or outside aerial wiring is
not recommended, due to an increased
susceptibility to nearby lightening 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, or printed circuit board
location.

Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in­lbs. 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.

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.
