The XA loop is a three- or four-wire Autocall

®

communication channel, consisting of one master
and one or more slaves. The XA Loop Interface Card (XALIC) connects the FACP to the XA
loop, and allows the FACP to function as either the XA loop master or as an XA loop slave.

 FACP XA Loop Master. In this case, the FACP replaces an existing Autocall head end.

When operating as the XA loop master, the FACP can issue ON/OFF control commands to
XA devices, and monitor the alarm, trouble, and normal status of all XA devices on the loop.

 FACP XA Loop Slave. Devices attached to the FACP can be either of the following.

 XALIC Status Points. Custom control is used to pass the FACP point status changes to

the Autocall head end via the XA devices represented by the XALIC.

 XALIC Control Points. This type of point works in a similar manner. Custom control on

the FACP monitors the state of the XALIC points and performs specific functions (signal
silence, alarm reset, etc.) when the Autocall head end turns a specific XALIC point on or
off.

The XALIC card, shown in Figure 1, contains the following major components.

SW1 is a four-position switch used to select the following operational characteristics. See figure
below for an illustration of the switch.

 Three Wire / Four Wire (SW1-1). This switch selects whether the XALIC is connected to

a three-wire or four-wire loop. ON equals three-wire; OFF equals four-wire. (When
operating in three-wire mode, the command line is absent.) Three-wire can only be selected if
no XA output-type devices are connected to the loop.

 Master / Slave Operation (SW1-2). This switch selects whether the XALIC is operating

as the master or slave. ON equals master; OFF equals slave.

 Scan Rate (SW1-3). This switch selects the number of clock pulses in a complete scan of

the XA loop. ON equals 256 pulses; OFF equals 257 pulses. Set this switch to 256 pulses for
all Autocall panels except the AL1500 and AC-II which require the 257-pulse setting.

Jumpers P1 and P2 select the power and ground source for the XALIC. Set these jumpers as
follows, depending on whether you are connecting AUX power or Signal Power (via PDI) to the
XALIC.

 Signal Power. Place Jumpers P1 and P2 in the rightmost positions (covering pins 1 and 2)

to select the Signal Power as the power and ground source for the XALIC. When these
jumpers are installed in this manner, the XALIC receives both power and ground via the PDI.

 AUX Power. Place Jumpers P1 and P2 in the leftmost positions (covering pins 2 and 3) to

select AUX power as the power and ground source for the XALIC. When these jumpers are
installed in this manner, the XALIC receives both power and ground via the AUX power
source.

This section describes installing the XALIC in the following three situations:

 Expansion Bay Contains XPS, RPS, or expansion SPS and

Backbox Contains TIC or Master

Controller.

 Expansion Bay Does Not

Contain XPS, RPS, or expansion SPS but Backbox Contains TIC or

Master Controller.

 Backbox does not have PDI or XPS, RPS or expansion SPS.

If the expansion bay in which the XALIC is installed contains an XPS, RPS, or an expansion SPS
and the backbox contains a Transponder Interface Card (TIC) or Master Controller, the XALIC
can receive both power and communication via the PDI. No connections to the XALIC’s RUI or
AUX Power connectors are required.

Important Note: The power supply (XPS, RPS, SPS) must be located in the same expansion

bay as the XALIC.

The XALIC has a form factor of 4” x 10” (101 x 254 mm), and requires a full-length slot in an
expansion chassis. Locate an available slot for the card and use the PDI connector (P4) on the
backside of the XALIC card to connect to one of the PDI connectors on the lower row, as shown
in the figure below. Secure the card to the Expansion Chassis using the supplied hardware.

Note: Jumper P1 and Jumper P2 must be installed in the rightmost positions (pins 1-2).

This is the default position. Refer back to Figure 4 for the location of these
jumpers.

Figure 6. Mounting to the Power Distribution Interface

If the expansion bay in which the XALIC is installed does not

contain an XPS, RPS, or expansion
SPS, but the backbox contains either a TIC or Master Controller, the XALIC cannot receive power
via the PDI but it can use the PDI to communicate with the TIC or Master Controller. In this
situation, the XALIC must be wired to an AUX Power source that is UL-listed for fire protective
signaling use.

If the XALIC is installed in a backbox that contains neither a power supply (XPS, RPS, or
expansion SPS) or a PDI, it requires power from an Aux Power source and must be connected via
its RUI terminals to a TIC or Master Controller in another backbox. Aux power and RUI wiring is
supervised and power-limited. Aux power must come from either the FACP, or from a regulated,
power-limited supply that is UL-listed for Fire Protective Signaling Use.

The XALIC has a form factor of 4” x 10” (101 x 254 mm), and requires a full-length slot in an
expansion chassis. Secure the card to the backbox using the hardware supplied with the card.

Place Jumpers P1 and P2 in the leftmost position and connect the XALIC to the Aux power source
as shown in the figure below. Connect the RUI terminals on the card to the RUI terminals on a
TIC or Master Controller in a separate backbox.

All wiring that leaves a building requires overvoltage protection. Install the Module 2081-9044
whenever wire enter or exits a building. Refer to Figure 12 for Overvoltage Protection wiring.
Refer to the 2081-9044 Overvoltage Protector Installation Instructions (574-832) for specific
details regarding the installation of the 2081-9044 modules.

For each installed pair of 2081-9044 modules, the maximum wiring resistance is reduced by
6 ohms, and the wire-to-wire resistance & wire-to-shield capacitance are reduced by 0.012uF.
With 2081-9044 modules installed, the maximum number of addresses occupied by XA loop
devices (1, 2, 4, or 8 pt. input-output, output only, or input only) is limited to 200 based upon
current limitations. There is no address limitation for Data Gathering Panels (DGPs). In Class B
installations, this limitation only applies to devices after the 2081-9044 connection to the head-end
panel. In Class A installations, limitations apply for the entire loop.

The following example describes a system in which the addresses occupied by1, 2, 4, or 8 pt. XA
Loop devices is limited to 200 while a DGP occupies the remaining addresses without regard to
the 200-device limit. Example: There are 150 addresses occupied by input only devices (1, 2, 4,
or 8 pt.); 50 addresses occupied by output only devices (1, 2, 4, or 8 pt.); and 105 addresses
occupied by a DGP.

XA devices connected to the FACP through the XALIC card. When functioning as the head end,
the FACP can monitor the status of all devices and can turn XA output devices on or off.

When programming the FACP as the head end, keep the following guidelines in mind.

 XALIC points are logical points used to control and monitor physical XA devices.

 The FACP can monitor up to 255 XA devices and control up to 255 XA devices. Since a

FACP IDNet channel (each XALIC corresponds to a channel) can only support 250 devices,
the following FACP multipoint device types must be assigned to XALIC points to achieve
the 255 point limit.

 TRIAM. Assign this device type to an address within the range 1 through 245 when the

corresponding XA device is an input or input/output device. Each TRIAM point consists
of two subpoints, one that can be used as an output and one that can be used as an input.

 RIAM. Assign this device type to an address within the range 1 through 245 when the

corresponding XA device is an output-only device. (XA output-only devices must be at
address 245 or below.)

 MLPTIO. Assign this device type to points 246 through 250. These devices support 6

subpoints (for each device, only four subpoints are used).

 Program only XALIC addresses that have a corresponding XA device. The XALIC card

performs a configuration check to determine that a corresponding XA device is present at the
programmed XALIC address. If no XA Device is present, an open circuit device trouble is
generated for that device. (Note: the XALIC is unable to detect missing output-only
devices.)

 You can determine which XALIC points map to which XA devices by looking at the XALIC

point name. The number in the middle of the XALIC point name corresponds to the number
of the XA device on the connected XA loop.

loop number)

Examine the XALIC Point name. The middle
number (2 in this case) corresponds to the
similarly numbered XA device on the connected
loop.

 XA output-only devices must be at address 245 or below. Any XA output-only devices on

the loop with an address above 245 must be readdressed before programming.

 You must account for all XA devices in the FACP programming. XA devices that are

unprogrammed (for example, XALIC point three is not programmed, but a device exists on
the XA loop with an address of three) will cause an extra device trouble.

 XA devices report three status conditions, whereas FACP IDNet devices report four status

conditions. The XA device status conditions map to IDNet conditions as follows.

Table 4. Mapping of XA Device Status and IDNet Status

XA Loop Device Status FACP IDNet Status

Normal Normal

Alarm Abnormal (current limited)

Trouble Open Circuit

N/A Short Circuit

Because XA loop devices do not report a short circuit condition, it is not possible to support
the WSO or WSC FACP point types. Do not assign these point types to a FACP XALIC
point.

 The Point Type you assign to the XALIC address determines the function of the point. For

example, if you assign a FIRE point type, an alarm condition occurs if the state of the XA
address goes abnormal. Likewise, if you assign a UTILITY point type to the address, the
state of the XALIC address is either ON or OFF.

Follow these steps to program XALIC points.

1. Add the XALIC Card to the job. See the corresponding chapter in the ES Panel
Programmer’s Manual (574-849) for information on doing this.

2. Click on the Hardware Tab. Expand the Unit/Box/Bay icons containing the XALIC card.
Double click on the XALIC card icon and choose the Point Editing tab, as shown in the
screen example below.

3. Examine the Point Name field and identify the name of the point you want to edit. Before the
Device Type is programmed, the Point Name will have a 0 in the subpoint (last) field. (M2-5­0, for example). Remember that the number in the middle corresponds to the XA Device
number on the Autocall side.

4. Click on the point name and then click on the Device Type drop down list box and select the
appropriate device type, as follows:

 Points 1-245. Select the TRIAM device type if the corresponding XA device is an

input/output device. Select the RIAM device type if the XA device is an output only
device.

 Points 246-255. Select the MLPTIO device type. (Output-only devices are not allowed

within this address range.)

After you select the Device Type, the screen updates to display the subpoints.

 Points 1-245. If the device type is TRIAM (i.e., the XA device is an input/output

device), then the first subpoint is used for the output and the second point is used for the
input. Click on the Point Type drop down list and choose one of the available point
types.

If the device type is RIAM (i.e., the XA device is an output-only device), click on the
subpoint and then click on the Point Type drop down list box and choose the output point
type.

Refer to 574-849 for point type definitions

 Points 246 – 255. Devices in this address range must use the MLPTIO device type.

MLPTIO subpoints map to XA devices as listed in Table 5 below: Output-only devices

cannot be assigned to this address range.

Click on the subpoint and then click on the Point Type drop down list box and choose the
appropriate input or output point type.

The Autocall head end can control physical or logical points on the FACP, allowing the head end
to perform a range of functions on the FACP such as on/off, system reset, signal silence, etc.
These types of points are called Control points. See “Programming Control Points” in this
section for more information.

The FACP’s XALIC can also be configured to report status to the Autocall head end for up to 250
FACP devices. These types of points are called Status Points. See “Programming Status Points”
in this section for more information.

Note: When the FACP functions as a slave to the Autocall panel, it is different than most
master/slave situations. The FACP continues to monitor and control all devices that are
not associated with an XALIC point and can operate completely independent of the
Autocall panel.

A Control Point is a logical input point on the FACP XALIC card that serves as a trigger for a
FACP Custom Control equation (for example, reset, silence, LED annunciation, NAC signaling,
etc.). Each control point on the FACP corresponds to a physical or logical output point on the
Autocall head end. When the head end turns on the output point, the corresponding FACP XALIC
input turns on, and the FACP custom control equations execute.

Each FACP XALIC Control Point address consists of three parts: the MAPNET® channel
number, the XA Loop Device Number, and the Subpoint. The MAPNET channel number is
automatically assigned to the XALIC card at installation time. It can be any number between 1
and 30 and is always preceded by an M. The XALIC Device Number is a number between 1 and

250. It corresponds directly to the matching XA device address on the AUTOCCALL side of the

loop. The Subpoint used with a control point is always 1.

Step 2. Program Device Types and Point Types for FACP Control Points. Use the

FACP programmer to accomplish the following steps:

a. Add the XALIC Card to the job. See the corresponding chapter in the ES Panel

Programmer’s Manual (574-849) for information on doing this.

b. Click on the Hardware Tab. Expand the Unit/Box/Bay icons containing the XALIC card.

Double click on the XALIC card icon and choose the Point Editing tab, as shown in the
screen example below.

c. Examine the Point Name field and identify the name of the point you want to edit.

Before the Device Type is programmed, the Point Name will have a 0 in the subpoint
field. (M2-5-0, for example). Remember that the number in the middle, 5 in this case,
corresponds to the similarly numbered XA Device on the Autocall side.

e. Click on Subpoint 1. The device type is automatically set to MINPUT and cannot be

changed. Click on the Point Type drop down list box and select the appropriate point
type. (The point type determines how the control point is interpreted by the FACP. Use
Utility for Signal Silence, Reset, and Miscellaneous functions. Use FIRE to annunciate a
fire alarm from the Autocall panel to the FACP.)

f. Add a descriptive custom label for the point.

g. Click Apply to save the changes.

Step 3. Write Custom Control. The control point functions as an on/off switch for one or
more FACP Custom Control equations. Typical equations include the following:

System Reset. In the following example, M2-1-1 is a input point on the 4100’s XA card. It
is linked to XA Device 1 (a switch) on the Autocall system. When XA Device 1 turns ON,
the input activates, which executes the following equation. (P212 is the Detector/System
Reset pseudo point on the FACP.)

IN:

M2-1-1 ON

OUT:

TRACK ON P202 PRI = 9,9

Alarm Silence. In the following example, M2-1-1 is a monitor point on the 4100’s XA

card. It is linked to XA Device 2 (a switch) on the Autocall system. When XA Device 2 turns
ON, the input activates, which executes the following equation. (P217 is the Network Signal
Silence pseudo point on the FACP.)

IN:

M2-1-1 ON

OUT:

TRACK ON P6 PRI = 9,9

Status points are logical fire and trouble points on the FACP XALIC card. The status (on or off)
of these points is controlled by Custom Control equations on the FACP. The function of a status
point is to signal a change in the state of a FACP point to the Autocall head end. For example, a
Custom Control equation could be written to monitor the state of L256, which is the list in which
all points with the FIRE point type are placed. When any device in this list enters an alarm state,
the Custom Control turns ON subpoint 5 for one of the XALIC status points. (For any given
XALIC status point, subpoint 5 is always the fire point and subpoint 6 is always the trouble point.)
This triggers the corresponding XA device at the Autocall head end to turn on as well.

Each FACP XALIC Status Point address consists of three parts: the MAPNET channel number,
the XA Loop Device Number, and the Subpoint. The MAPNET channel number is automatically
assigned to the XALIC card at installation time. It can be any number between 1 and 30 and is
always preceded by an M. The XALIC Device Number is a number between 1 and 250. It
corresponds directly to the matching XA device address on the Autocall side of the loop. The
Subpoint used with a status point is always either 5 (alarm status subpoint) or 6 (trouble status
subpoint).

Use the three-step process detailed below to program a status point.

Step 1. Identify and Map Addresses.

Before programming status points, it may be helpful to list the XALIC status points and the
Autocall device numbers, along with the function of the point or device, in a spreadsheet format.

Control to turn point M2-1-5 on.

7:1 Trouble on XA Loop Device 1 M2-1-6

When any trouble in the system
occurs, use Custom Control to
turn M2-1-6 on.

Step 2. Programming Device Types and Point Types for FACP Status Points. Use
the FACP programmer to accomplish the following steps:

a. Add the XALIC Card to the job. See the corresponding chapter in the ES Panel

Programmer’s Manual (574-849) for information on doing this.

b. Click on the Hardware Tab. Expand the Unit/Box/Bay icons containing the XALIC card.

Double click on the XALIC card icon and choose the Point Editing tab, as shown in the
screen example below.

c. Examine the Point Name field and identify the name of the point you want to edit.

Before the Device Type is programmed, the Point Name will have a 0 in the subpoint
field. (M2-5-0, for example). Remember that the number in the middle, 5 in this case,
must correspond to the XA Device number on the Autocall side. (Refer back to Figure 1
for an illustration of the screen.)

d. Click on the Device Type drop down list box and select MLPTIO. After you make your

selection, the screen updates to display the subpoints. (Refer back to Figure 2 for an
illustration of the screen.)

e. Click on Subpoint 5. Leave the Device Type as MOUTPUT. Click on the Point Type

drop down list box and select Relay. Add a descriptive custom label for the point.
Subpoint 5 should always be used to report the alarm state of the referenced XA device.

f. Click on Subpoint 6. Leave the Device Type as MOUTPUT. Click on the Point Type

drop down list box and select Relay. Add a descriptive custom label for the point.
Subpoint 6 should always be used to report the trouble state of the referenced XA device.

Step 3. Writing Custom Control. Status points are intended to turn on or off in response to

Custom Control programming and to serve as indications to the Autocall head end that some fire
or trouble event has occurred on the FACP. Typical equations include the following:

Smoke Detector Experiencing Alarm or Trouble Condition. In the first part of the
following example, M2-1-5 is a status point on the 4100’s XALIC. It is linked to XA Device
1 on the Autocall system. L256 is a list of smoke detectors. The IN portion of the Custom
Control equation monitors this list. If any detector in the list enters an alarm state, the OUT
side of the equation executes, turning on M2-1-5 (and its corresponding XA device on the
Autocall head end). Some programming on the Autocall head end would then be required to
appropriately respond to the fire condition

In the second part of the example, M2-1-6 is also a status point on the XALIC card. It is also
linked to XA device 1 on the Autocall head end, but it is used to signal a trouble condition to
the head end.

IN:

L256 Fire

In this simplified example, a FACP system is added to an existing Autocall installation. The
FACP system will provide coverage for a new wing of an existing building protected by the
Autocall system. The FACP system will report status to the Autocall head-end panel using the
XA Loop Interface Card.

Assume the following:

 The new wing consists of 4 areas (zones) that will report alarm and trouble status to the

Autocall head-end.

 Other panel troubles will be reported to the Autocall head-end.
 A fire alarm detected on the Autocall system will be reported to the Panel.
 The Panel will be reset & silenced from the Autocall head end.
 The Autocall panel can disable any of the four zones in the Panel.
 Assume the Autocall panel already has 6 XA Loops. The Panel will communicate to the

Autocall head-end on a new, 7

th

loop.

The Panel must be programmed with the slave cards and devices necessary to support the
installation. In addition, the following XA Loop mapping must also be programmed. For this
example, assume there are already 4 IDNet channels in the job. This will make the XALIC
channel 5 (M5-x).

Area 1 – Cafeteria L512 M5-1
Area 2 – Gymnasium L513 M5-2
Area 3 – Auditorium L514 M5-3
Area 4 – Laboratory L515 M5-4

It is also necessary to annunciate any other Panel trouble to the Autocall panel and we will do that
by reserving XA loop address 5 (M5-5).

In order to perform the alarm silence, system reset, and disable functions, we will need to allocate
six more XA addresses (one for silence, one for reset, and one for each zone that can be disabled).
These will be M5-6 through M5-11. M5-12 will be used to communicate an Autocall system
alarm to the FACP.

FACP XA Loop Slave Application Example

Overview

Since this is a FACP XA Loop Slave Application, the 12 XA Loop device types are programmed
with the MLPTIO device type. There are two types of information transmitted on the XA Loop:

 FACP data sent to the Autocall panel
 Autocall data sent to the FACP

For FACP to Autocall data, the two output subpoints on the MLPTIO are used to convey the
information. Output subpoint 5 is used to convey the alarm or activated status of the data, and
output subpoint 6 is used to convey the trouble status of the data.

For Autocall to FACP data, the first input subpoint on the MLPTIO is used to convey the
information. The input point reports “abnormal” (current-limited) when the Autocall information
is activated. It reports “normal” when the Autocall information is deactivated.

Since the first 5 devices on our XALIC are reporting FACP information to the Autocall panel, we
need to program the output subpoints to perform the desired function. We will need to write
Custom Control equations to activate those outputs under the proper circumstances, so both
subpoint 5 and 6 on XALIC devices 1-5 should be programmed with the RELAY point type.

The Custom Control equations used to convey the alarm and trouble status for Area 1 is shown
below:

IN:
L512 ALARM ;List of Area 1 smoke detectors
OUT:
TRACK M5-1-5 ON PRI=9,9 ;Track on XA Device 1 Alarm output
END:

IN:
L512 TROUBLE ;List of Area 1 smoke detectors
OUT:
TRACK M5-1-6 ON PRI=9,9 ;Track on XA Device 1 Trouble output
END:

We will need similar equations for the remaining areas using the list and the XA device
corresponding to that area.

To program the FACP general trouble indication to the Autocall panel, the following Custom
Control equation must be written:

IN:
A2 ON ;Number of Panel troubles
OUT:
TRACK M5-5-6 ON PRI=9,9 ;Track on XA Device 5 Trouble output
END:

This completes the programming required to send the FACP information to the Autocall panel.
We now need to program the FACP to act upon information received from the Autocall panel.

The Autocall panel will be programmed to activate command receiver address 6 whenever an
alarm silence operation is performed at the Autocall head-end. This will cause the XALIC to
indicate an abnormal status on M5-6-1. The following Custom Control equation will perform the
FACP’s alarm silence operation:

IN:
M5-6-1 ABNORMAL ; Alarm silence request from
Autocall panel
OUT:
TRACK P6 ON PRI=2,2 ; Alarm silence pseudo point
END:

The Autocall panel will be programmed to activate command receiver address 7 whenever a
system reset operation is performed at the Autocall head-end. This will cause the XALIC to
indicate an abnormal status on M5-7-1. The following Custom Control equation will perform the
FACP’s system reset operation:

IN:
M5-7-1 ABNORMAL ; System Reset request from Autocall
panel
OUT:
TRACK P202 ON PRI=9,9 ; System Reset pseudo point
END:

The Autocall panel will be programmed to activate command receiver addresses 8-11 whenever a
corresponding switch is activated in the panel. This will cause the XALIC to indicate an abnormal
status on points M5-8-1 through M5-11-1. Four Custom Control equations (one for each area)
will accomplish the disable function:

IN:
M5-8-1 ABNORMAL ; Disable area 1 request from
Autocall panel
OUT:
DISABLE L512 ; Disable Panel Area 1
END:

The Autocall panel is programmed to activate command receiver address 12 whenever an alarm is
present in the system that did not come from the FACP. This causes the XALIC to indicate an
abnormal status on M5-12-1. No custom control is required to annunciate the alarm in the FACP.
M5-12-1 is programmed with the FIRE point type and an appropriate custom label such as
“ALARM IN Autocall SYSTEM”.

In this simple example, an FACP is replacing an existing Autocall head end with one XA Loop. It
has the following devices:

 Addresses 1-15: Smoke detectors
 Addresses 16-30: Pull stations
 Addresses 31-35: General Alarm command receivers (on-til-silence)

The FACP is programmed with an SPS (containing one IDNet channel by default – M1) and an
XA Loop Interface Card (XALIC – M2). Since this a master configuration, the TRIAM device
type is used for the smoke detectors and pull stations, and the RIAM device type is used for the
output-only command receivers.
