CONTROL PANEL LIMITATIONS

This control panel may not show an alarm condition without compatible initiating dev ices (smoke detectors, etc.) and notification devices (horn, strobes, etc.) connected to it. Electrical ratings of the initiation and notification appliances must be compatible with the electrical ratings of the control panel and must be properly interconnected. The wiring used for interconnection must be large enough to carry the total current for all appliances without excessive voltage drop.

The control panel must be connected to a dedicated primary electrical source that has a high degree of reliability and adequate capacity for this control panel. The only means of disconnecting this power source shall be available only to authorized personnel and clearly marked "Fire Alarm Circuit Control".

The control panel must also have connected to a battery set (24V) that has enough capacity to properly operate the system for 24 hours standby and 5 minutes alarm per UL864 9th edition (section 63.2.3 and 63.2.5) . These batteries do lose capacity with age. Batteries must be replaced when they fail to provide the control panel with the required standby and alarm power or after 4 years, whichever happens first. These batteries must be checked for performance at least two (2) times a year or more often if local requirements dictate.

Even though this control panel was made to last for the expected life of the fire alarm system, any part could fail at any time. Therefore a regular test program should be followed and documented to make sure that each part of the system i s tested as in Chapter 7 of NFPA 72 or more often if dictated by local code requirements. Malfunctioning units must be replaced or repaired immediately by factory author ized service personne l.

This control panel is designed to show an alarm condition when the initiating devices

connected to it detect sp ecific conditions. These conditions may or may not represent a lifethreatening condit io n. Also , evacu at ion of a building or area unnecessaril y may sub ject individuals to an unn ecessary hazard. Therefore, it is most import ant that the bui lding owne r , manager, or represen t at ive promulgate, distribute, and/o r po st instructions describing st eps to be taken when the fire alarm cont rol panel signals an alarm condition. These instructions should be developed in cooperation and conformance with representat ives of the local authorit y ha v in g jurisdiction.

As a precautionary measure, it is strongly sugg ested that one of these steps should be to

notify the local fire dep art ment of an abnormal condition even where th e DACT option (or similar device) is included in the system.

SLC ADDRESSABLE DEVICES

Smoke Detector

The control panel processor sends the sensitivity settings to the detectors and polls the detectors for their status. The detector determines normal, trouble and alarm conditions and communicates the conditions to the control panel.

Variable Thresholds - The detectors can be set to operate in various pre-programmed profiles, depending on the environment where the detectors are used.

Operator Alerts - The control panel can indicate a trouble event automatically on the occurrence of a number of conditions of the detector. The supported conditions include:

 Channel Active  Unconfigured Device  Device Type Mismatch  Device Communication Trouble  Address Invalid  Address Unspecified  Multiple Device Response  Parameter Error  Device Type Unknown  Fatal Fault  General Trouble  Dirty  Replace

Heat Detectors

Addressable heat sensing detectors may be intermixed on the circuit for locations where heat sensing may be the most effective detection method. The heat detectors may be programmed for rate of rise operation or fixed temperature.

Addressabl e Modules (Moni tor and Control)

In addition to detectors, the circuit can communicate with addressable monitor and control modules. Monitor modules allow remote contact closure initiating devices to generate event conditions on the system. Control modules provide the system remote relay outputs or notification appliance circuits

Manual Stati ons

Addressable manual stations may be intermixed on the circuit with proper response programmed into the control panel.

Sounder Base

The ABHW-4B and ABHW-4S are the intelligent supervised audible based which provides 6 selectable tone patterns, 2 volume levels and 2 different power types for alarm.

The 6 tone patterns supported by the ABHW-4B and ABHW-4S are: Steady, Temporal 3, Temporal 4, Temporal 4 low power, March time 120 and Canadian March time 30.

When the audible base ABHW-4B and ABHW-4S i s used with Global ASA/FD182UL detectors, it can be programmed to 2 output channels, and up to 6 tone patterns can be selected using

Page 15

the system configuration tool. When users need to disable the audible base , they will need to select the “disable audible base” option.

When the audible base ABHW-4B and ABHW-4S is used with H/8700 series detectors, it can be programmed to 1 output channel, and only 2 tone patterns (steady, temporal 3) can be selected using the system configuration tool. When users need to disable the audible base, they will need to select the “disable outputs” option.

Note: When users need to dis ab le the ABHW-4B and ABHW-4S audible bases connected to the entire loop consisting of H/8700 series and Global ASA/FD182 detectors, they will need to select both the “dis ab le outputs” and “d isable audib le base” options.

There are two methods for powering the audible base during alarm. They are “Loop powered” and “External powered” which can be configured by the system configuration tool. The ABHW4B can be powered by loop power and exter nal power, the ABHW-4S can only be powered by external power.

For additional information please refer to installation manual of ABHW-4B (A6V10405587) and ABHW-4S (A6V10405588).

Note: * When using external power source, the power supply unit must be UL Listed for fire

use only, Power Limited and rated 19-28 VDC.

* Audible signals are synchronized on zone basis.

Programming SLC Devices

SLC devices can be assigned the ir electronic address and be tested by using the DPU Device Programmer/Loop Tester.

CONTROL PANEL OPERATION

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Standby Condition

In normal standby oper ation, the green AC POWER ON LED should be illuminated and no other indicator operating. The display will show the system label and the current time.

Alarm Condi tions

ALARM When the system detects an alarm condition, the alarm LED activates (ON – flashing) and the

local panel buzzer activates in a specific pattern to indicate an alarm condition. Programmed system outputs, including audible and visual notification appliances, relays activate, and the LCD display indicates the zone or point initiating the alarm.

Upon receipt of an alarm, building occupants should proceed in accordance with the established emergency response plan. System responders should assure that all personnel are accounted for, and notify the Fire Department.

Operating the ACKNOWLEDGE button will silence the local panel buzzer and change the LED alarm indicator from flashing to steady. The LCD display will indicate that the active events have been acknowledged.

To silence the audible and/or visual notification appliances (where permitted by the codes and control panel programming), press ALARM SILENCE. The notification appliances will be deactivated, and the alarm silence LED will be off.

POSITIVE Alarm Sequence (PAS) Activation of an initiating device in an input group programmed for PAS activates the Alarm

LED, LCD display, and the local panel buzzer. System and user-programmed outputs do not activate imm ediately.

Operation of the ACKNOWLEDGE button within 15 seconds of the activation of the initiating devices will delay activation of system and user-programmed outputs between 60 and 180 seconds(selected during system configuration) for the purpose of investigating the alarm. If the ACKNOWLEDGE button is not operated within 15 seconds, the system and user-programmed outputs activate at the expiration of the 15 second delay.

If the initiating device and the panel are reset before the programmed delay expires, the alarm sequence is aborted.

During the investigation period, an alarm condition on a detector programmed for direct alarm response (such as the key switch on a manual station) will override the programmed delay and activate the additional user-programmed outputs immediately. User can configure Manned status of FACP to enable/disable PAS feature. FACP will not perform PAS feature in Unmanned status. After logged in as L2/L3 user, user can select Unmanned item in operate menu to enter Unmanned status and bypass all on-going PAS alarms.

Page 23

PRE-SIGNAL AL ARMS Activation of an initiating device in an input group programmed for PRE-SIGNAL, activates the

Alarm LED, LCD display, and the local panel buzzer. System and user-programmed outputs activate imm ediately except NAC.

The delay of activation of user-programmed outputs can be programmed from 60 to 180 seconds. If the system is not reset during this period, the NAC outputs will activate.

During the delay period, an alarm condition on a detector programmed for direct alarm response (such as the key switch on a manual station) will override the programmed delay and activate the user-programmed NACs immediately.

Do not reset the system until the alarm condition has been cleared. Th e LCD displ ay will

indicate the area in which the alarm w as detect ed. The detector or module associated with the device initiating the alarm will display a light indicating activation (if applicable).

When the alarm condition has been corrected, return the system to standby operation by pressing the RESET button.

Trouble Conditions

When the system detects a trouble condition, the trouble LED will be flashing, the LCD displays trouble events and the local panel buzzer activates in specific pattern that distinguishes the event from an alarm event. Refer to the applicable section of the system manual to determine the probable cause of the trouble and the action to be taken.

Operating the ACKNOWLEDGE button will silence the local panel buzzer and change the LED trouble indicator from flashing to steady. The LCD display will indicate that the active events have been acknowledged.

If the panel is configured for Supervisory/Trouble Resound Reminder, and the trouble condition is not corrected the local panel buzzer will re-activate when the reminder timer has relapsed to remind users of the trouble condition.

If the FC901 is configured as “Trouble self restoring”, the system shall return to the “system normal” status if the trouble condition is restored, unless there are additional events on the system. If the FC901 is not configured as “Trouble self restoring”, the system reverts to standby condition only after the RESET button is pressed.

Supervisor y Conditions

When the system detects a supervisory condition, the supervisory LED will be flashing, the LCD display supervisory events, and the local panel buzzer activates in a specific pattern that distinguishes it from an alarm event.

Operating the ACKNOWLEDGE button will silence the local panel buzzer and change the LED supervisory indicator from flashing to steady. The LCD display will indicate that the active events have been acknowledged.

If the panel is configured for Supervisory/Trouble Resound Reminder, and the supervisory condition is not corrected, the local panel buzzer will re-activate when the reminder timer has relapsed to remind users of the supervisory condition.

Page 24

If the FC901 is configured as “Supervisory self restoring”, the system shall return to the “System Normal” status if the supervisory condition is restored unless there are additional events on the system. If the FC901 is not configured as “Supervisory self restoring”, the system reverts to standby condition only after the RESET button is pressed.

Refer to the instruction sheets packed with each device. Detectors and modules may be wired together according to several NFPA defined wiring

styles. The wiring style that is appropriate for your installation should be determined from the relevant building codes and the local Authority Having Jurisdiction.

Style 4 wiring permits branching of circuit connections. The control equipment supervises modules because they are active and must respond periodically to the control panel’s poll.

PROGRAMMING THE CONTR OL PANEL

KEYPAD P ROGR AMM I N G

Customized programming of the control panel may be accomplished through the keypad included in the control panel.

PC PROGRAMMING

Programming the panel may also be done by a temporary connection to the programming port with a computer. This is the recommended method to program the panel.

The Siemens FXS901-U3 software is available to allow programming the control panel by connection to a Personal Computer (PC) with an USB port. This allows ease of operation by preparing the program in advance and downloading to the control panel in a simple, rapid operation.

PROGRAMMING SECURITY

The following levels of security protect the system fro m unauthorized use: Level 1 (User) – Locked Door

Level 2 (Maintenance) – Locked Door and 4-digit Maintenance Password Level 3 (Technician) – Locked Door and 4-digit Technical Password

The User Level is also accessible from FSD.

QUICK TEST

The Quick Test mode makes it fast and easy to test a system by eliminating the need to disconnect panel from remote connections to the Fire Department or other monitoring stations. In this way, operator can test all devices locally without annunciating any condition to remote connections.

To configure the Quick Test parameter s, enter L2 user level and navigate to the Quick Test item in the Operate menu. Configure the following parameters prior to starting Quick Test:

• Quick Test Time – FC901 will automatically quit Quick Test mode after the configured time

• Disable Output – Doesn’t activate any output on events in Quick Test Mode

• Annunciator Off – Doesn’t send any events to annunciators in Quick Test Mode.

• History Off – Doesn’t record any even ts in History Recor d in Quick Test Mode

• NAC Off – Doesn’t activate NAC’s in Quick Test Mode

To initiate the Quick Test mode, navigate through the menu using the following steps:

1) Login at L2 or L3

2) Press the Menu button

3) Press right arrow to OPER

4) Press down arrow to Quicktest

5) Press OK

6) Modify Quicktest parameters as needed-(time, NAC on/off, etc…)

7) After setting all Quicktest parameters, and while still in the Quicktest screen, Press the Menu button

8) Press the OK button to initialize Quicktest

NOTE:The countdown timer will be indicated in the upper right corner of the main board

display.

Test conditions will be annunciated on the panel to indicate that pane l is in Quick Test Mode. Initiation of any addressable device will not activate associated NACs if “NAC OFF” is enabled in Quick Test mode.

By selecting the Extend (Quick Test) item in the Operate menu, L2 user can extend the quick test time. L2 user can quit the quick test mode by selecting the Cancel (Quick Test) item in the Operate menu.

HZM in Qui ck Test

Testing conventional detectors in Quick Test requires a few more steps than testing addressable devices. Since the HZM only guarantees that one detector will stay in active at a time, its detector loop must be reset after each detector is activated. This can be accomplished in the following ways:

• By shorting the device loop for at least six seconds.

• By interrupting power to the device loop or the active device for at least six seconds.

Either of these methods will cause the active detector to reset.

The previous detector must be clear of smoke after resetting the loop or it will generat e an ot h er alarm.

DETECTION

Application Specific Detection (ASD) allows the system designer to program a detector’s sensitivity, pre-alarm threshold, and other alarm-related parameters using English descriptions of the detector's environment (application). This eliminates the need for detailed knowledge of smoke detector terminology and operation. The designer can set all of the critical detector parameters by simply selecting an application description that closely fits the one where the detector is to be installed.

For example, to use ASD to select the optimal parameters for a detector in a hotel lobby, select the LOBBY application in the FXS901-U3 tool for that device. The system will automatically transmit the factory determined sensitivity, pre-alarm threshold, and detection algorithm (R-algorithm) to the corresponding device. This eliminates the guesswork of selecting these parameters for different environments.

APPENDIX-F: TESTING/MAINTENANCE

If the system is connected to the fire department, etc., or actuates an internal system, disarm the appropriate outputs before servicing to prevent actuation. Notify the fire department and personnel at your facility that a System test is being performed so that any alarm sounding can be ignored during the test. Notify the fire department before resetting the system.

Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of the fire alarm system should be performed in accordance with NFPA 72, The National Fire Alarm Code and all applicable local codes.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

Perform the following tests at the recommended interval. Replace the battery set every four years or if any of the test criteria are not met.

Initiation / Reacceptance

1. Charger Test—With the batteries fully charged and connected to the char ger, measure the voltage across the battery set. It must read 27.3V ± 0.3V.

2. Discharge Test—With full system alarm load, the voltage on a fully charged batter y must not fall below 20.4V after 30 minutes.

3. Load Voltage Test—With full system alarm load, the voltage on a fully charged battery must not fall below 24.6V after one minute.

Testing Interval

1. Semiannually—Perform the Load Voltage Test.

2. Annually—Perform the Charger Test and Discharge Test.

If the Activation delay is set to 0 (default setting), the output immediately activates. The Deactivation delay refers to the delay in which the output will deactivate after the reception of its deactivation command. If the Deactivation delay is set to 0 (default setting), the output immediately deactivates.

Output device during activation delay will not respond to deactivate command. This means an output device with activation delay will definitely be activated after receiving activate command. Output device during deactivation delay will respond to activate command immediately and the deactivation delay will be cancelled.

Assuming an output channel on SLC is configured to be interlocked by supervisory condition of FACP with Activation Delay of 10s and Deactivation Delay of 10s. When FACP enters supervisory condition at 00”00’, the output channel will be activated at 00”10’. Then if the supervisory condition goes at 00”30’, the output channel will be deactivated at 00”40’.

This function only apply to IO module on SLC

APPENDIX-I: P AS / PRE-SIGNAL

PAS (Positive Alarm Sequence) and Pre-Signal features allow the user to delay the activation of the audibles, strobes and other output devices when an initial alarm is detected. Output can be interlocked by zones. When an initial alarm is detected, all outputs except remote devices (off-premises devices like general relays and city tie) associated with PAS Zone (Zone configured with PAS feature) will be activated immediately. When PAS delay timer elapses, other remote devices will also be activated. The delay timers are configurable.

PAS

When an alarm causing device associated with a zone with PAS feature is initiated, the alarm condition is reported on the panel. The activation of its related remote outputs (e.g. output relays) are delayed for 15 seconds (PAS delay time) waiting for a manual acknowledgement response. If no response is received within 15 seconds, the panel proceeds to activate the associated remote outputs. See Figure A. If the alarm event is acknowledged during the PAS delay time, the programmable PAS investigation time (60-180 seconds) is added to the PAS delay time before remote outputs are activated. See Figure B. However, if a 2nd alarm is initiated anytime during the PAS delay time or PAS investigation time, the remote output devices are immediately activated. See Figure C. Pressing the Reset button at anytime during the PAS sequence will initiate a reset condition and restore the panel to stand-by state.

When an alarm causing device in a Pre-Signal input group is initiated, the alarm condition is reported at the panel. Its associated NACs are not activated until the programmed investigation delay has relapsed or 2nd Alarm is initiated anytime during the Pre-Signal delay time (see figure below).

Pressing the reset button at anytime during the Pre-Signal sequence will initiate a reset condition and restore the panel to stand-by state.

APPENDIX-J:

The DACT (Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter) is an optional module for the FC901 control panel that allows transmission of event information to a remote receiver at a monitoring station using a dial-up modem connection. These events are transmitted in one of the following formats:

 SIADCS 8  SIADCS 20  ADEMCO Contact ID  4/2 1400 HZ  3/1 1400 HZ  3/1 2300 HZ  4/2 2300 HZ

A few aspects of the operation of the DACT are clarified below.

Lines / Accounts

The DACT supports two independent lines and can report to two separate accounts. “Lines” should not be confused with “accounts”. “Lines” are the actual telephone cords that plug into the DACT module, which are in turn connected to the PSTN (Public Service Telephone Network). If line 1 is not functioning (no dial tone, etc.), the DACT will try line 2 instead.

“Accounts” are the phone numbers that the DACT dials. Once the DACT has found a “live” line to dial out on, it transmits the event(s) on that line, starting with the first account that is configured to send that event. If the first account does not respond after the programmed number of attempts (busy, account not responding, etc.), the DACT will automatically attempt to send the event to the second account, providing the event is set to report for that account.

DAC T INFORMATION OVERVIEW

The DACT may be configured for connection to lines that ar e set up for Rotary and/or Tone dialing. See the FC901 Programming Manual, P/N 315-049 4033, for deta i ls.

Must / Can / Must Not

Each event type (Alarm, Alarm Restoral, etc.) can be configured as “Must”, “Can” or “Must Not” report independently for each account. If configured as “Must Not” repor t, the DACT will not report the event to that account. If configured as “Can” report, the DACT will only attempt to report the event to the account if it has not reported it on the other account. If configured as “Must” report, the DACT will attempt to report the event to the account even if it has already reported it to the other account. In summary:

Must Report The event will be reported to this account even if it has repor ted it to the other

account.

Can Report The event will only report to this account if it has not been successfully

reported to the other account.

Must Not Report The event will never report to this account.

Page 74

To configure an event to be reported to Account 1 and Account 2, set it to Must report on both.

Scenario 1 – Must/

Must

Alarm Event is set to Must Report on Account 1 and

Step 1: Panel goes into alarm.

Step 2: Panel tries to send event to Account 1, but is unsuccessful.

Account 1

Account

Step 3: Panel keeps trying to send event to Account 1 until the programmed Number Of Attempts has been reached.

Step 4

: Panel switches to Account 2 and attempts to transmit, but is unsuccessful too.

Account 1

Account 2

Step 5: Panel keeps trying to send event to Account 2

until the programmed Number

Of Attempts has been reached.

Done.

If the event needs to be reported to either Account 1 or Account 2, set it to Can report on both. If it has to be reported to Account 1, but only needs to be reported on Account 2 if Account 1 is temporarily out-of-order, set the event to Must Report on Account 1 and Can Report on Account 2.

Following are examples for illustration purposes.

Note: If both accounts failed to send an event within configured Number of Attempts, the event will be discarded and a message lost condition will be declared on panel. This means the panel will not try infinitely to send an event and each account can try at most (programmed Number of Attempts) times. This applies to all Scenarios of DACT transmission.

Page 75

Scenario 2 – Must/Can Alarm Event is set to Must Report on Account 1 and Can Report on Account 2. Panel fails on Account 1 the first time.

Step 1: Panel goes into alarm.

Step 2: Panel tries to send event to Account 1, but is unsuccessful.

APPENDIX-K: DRIFT COMPENSATION

The H-Series/8700 optical detector cannot implement drift compensation on its own. Drift compensation is the panel’s respons ibi lity.

While t he system is running, the detector sends its chamber real-time values to the panel periodically and does not do compensation by itself.

For the first hour after a panel startup, the panel will check the detector chamber values every 10 minutes. After that, the panel will check the chamber reading every 24 hours. If the panel detects the detector is a little dirty than before, it would send a compensation value to detector.

If a panel has detected that a detector has reached the upper limit of compensation, the panel reports a “dirty” trouble. Otherwise the pan e l will continuously compensate the detector until it reaches the upper limit.
