nstallation Precautions – Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:
ARNING - Several different sources of power can be connected to
he fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all sources of power before
ervicing. Control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by
emoving and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables
hile the unit is energized. Do not attempt to install, service, or
perate this unit until this manual is read and understood.
AUTION - System Reacceptance Test after Software Changes: To
nsure proper system operation, this product must be tested in
ccordance with NFPA 72-1993 Chapter 7 after any programming
peration or change in site-specific software. Reacceptance testing is
equired after any change, addition or deletion of system components,
r after any modification, repair or adjustment to system hardware or
iring.
ll components, circuits, system operations or software functions
nown to be affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addition, to
nsure that other operations are not inadvertently affected, at least
0% of initiating devices that are not directly affected by the change,
p to a maximum of 50 devices must also be tested and proper system
peration verified.
his system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0-49OC/
2-120O F and at a relative humidity of 85% RH (non-condensing) at
0OC/86O F. However, the useful life of the system's standby batteries
nd the electronic components may be adversely affected by extreme
emperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that
his system and its peripherals be installed in an environment with a
ominal room temperature of 15-27OC/60-80O F.
erify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating device loops.
ost devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% I.R. drop from the
pecified device voltage.
ire Alarm System Limitations
n automatic fire alarm system - typically made up of smoke
etectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning
evices and a fire alarm control with remote notification capability can
rovide early warning of a developing fire. Such a system, however,
oes not assure protection against property damage or loss of life
esulting from a fire.
ny fire alarm system may fail for a variety of reasons:
moke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach the
etectors such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of
losed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another
evel or floor of a building. A second floor detector, for example, may
ot sense a first floor or basement fire. Furthermore, all types of
moke detectors - both ionization and photoelectric types, have
ensing limitations. No type of smoke detector can sense every kind of
ire caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed,
iolent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable
aterials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches,
r arson.
MPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in the same room
s the control panel and in rooms used by the system for the
onnection of alarm transmission wiring, communications, signaling
nd /or power. If detectors are not so located, a developing fire may
amage 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!
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.
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.
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 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.
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 supplies 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.

Module Descriptions
Chicago Building Code / Source-of-Energy Module
The Chicago Building Code / Source-of-Energy Module connects the fire alarm control
panel to two separate AC sources. AC Source One provides the power to the fire alarm
control panel. Should AC Source One fail, the connections are automatically
transferred by a supervisory relay to the other source. Failure of either source will also
activate the Trouble bell.
The Source-of-Energy Module has two green lamps corresponding to the two AC
sources. When AC Source One is present, the light labelled LINE 1 will be lit. LINE 2
will light when AC Source Two is present.
The Source of Energy Module comes with a 120 VAC cautionary label attached to TB1.
