1.3 Limitations of Fire Alarm Systems
An automatic fire alarm system can provide early
warning and notification of the development of a
fire. It can’t, however, assure protection against
loss of property or loss of life.
It is recommended that smoke and/or heat
detectors and notification appliances be installed
throughout the building in accordance with the
requirements detailed in NFPA 72, local/state
codes, and with the instructions supplied with the
equipment.
The type(s) of detector employed and their physical
location must be selected carefully to ensure that
they detect the types of fire likely to occur in the
protected area. Even so, a number of factors may
prevent the necessary levels of combustion
products from reaching the sensing chambers and
thus the system may not indicate an alarm
condition.
Heat detectors protect property, not life.
Smoke detectors shall be installed in the same
room(s) as the fire alarm control panel, any
equipment used for transmission of the alarm
condition, and in locations where power supplies
are mounted. Otherwise, a developing fire may
damage the system and its ability to report the fire
alarm condition, refer to NFPA 72.
The system will not operate without power.
Standby batteries shall be properly maintained and
replaced regularly.
Regular maintenance will ensure that the system is
operating at its optimum performance. Arrange a
maintenance agreement with the manufacturer’s
local representative to ensure that the system is
maintained by a professional fire alarm installer in
accordance with National and any local/state
codes. Maintain a written record of all inspections
and maintenance performed.
1.4 General Installation Notes
WARNING: Disconnect all sources of power (AC
and battery) before installing components or
servicing the system.
DO NOT install/remove circuit cards while the fire
alarm control panel is supplied with power (either
AC or battery).
ENVIRONMENT: INSTALL the equipment in a
clean, dry environment.
The equipment meets the requirements for
operation at 32°F - 120°F (0°C - 49°C) and relative
humidity of 85% RH. However, standby battery life
is drastically reduced at higher temperatures. The
recommended room temperature for installation is
60°F - 86°F (15°C - 27°C).
WIRING: CHECK that the installation wire sizes
are adequate to deliver the required load current
and maintain compatibility with the specific device
operating voltages.
USE an anti-static wrist strap
whenever handling circuit cards.
STORE circuit cards in static
suppressive packaging.
CAUTION: Acceptance / Re-acceptance Tests
Following installation or after any system change
(including changes to operating software or
configuration settings) the system shall be tested in
accordance with the requirements in NFPA 72 and
any local/state codes.
All affected functions or devices shall be 100%
tested. In addition, at least 10% of initiating devices
not directly affected by the change shall also be
tested.
Follow the recommendations of NFPA 72.
A secure dedicated ground connection is
required. Although no system is immune
to the effects of lightning strikes, a
secure ground connection will reduce
susceptibility. The use of overhead or
outside aerial wiring is not
recommended.
Installation of a fire alarm system may
lower insurance rates, BUT it is not a
substitute for fire insurance!

Note: During normal operation the panel will drive the SLC from the OUT connections, if a short circuit or
open circuit condition is detected it will drive the SLC from both OUT and IN (RETURN) sides. During
programming mode, the panel will drive the SLC from the OUT connections only to enable easier wiring
trouble diagnosis.
4.2.1.3 SLC Peripheral Devices
Communications between the AX-CTL-1L, AX-CTL-2 and AX-CTL-4 AX-CTL base card and intelligent smoke
detectors, addressable input devices and addressable output devices takes place through the Signaling Line Circuit
(SLC), which can be wired NFPA Class A, X (Style 7) or B.
4.2.1.3.1 Intelligent Smoke Detectors
Intelligent Smoke Detectors offer a wide range of capabilities. Each detector provides dual-alarm LEDs for a
complete 3600view of a devices status. In addition, the LEDs can be programmed to flash or not flash during
quiescent mode.
Detectors are individually addressed through their associated base by a patented address (“XPerT”)
card. The address is set by removing “pips” on the XPerT card according to the chart below, which is
supplied with each detector base (see figure 6). Once the address is set on the XPerT card, it is slid into
the detector base and locked in place.
Note: Addressing the detector at the base rather than internally to the detector minimizes errors
associated with detector removal and maintenance.

Designed to adapt to changing environments and protect against unwanted false alarms, the response
characteristics of each detector is set to comply with the stringent requirements of UL and NFPA 72.
Each detector is continuously monitored and tested for proper sensitivity and operation. If a problem is detected
with either the device’s sensitivity or its operation, a trouble or maintenance signal is reported back to the fire alarm
control panel.
Detectors will compensate for any sensitivity drift of the initial programmed response/sensitivity value due to
environmental contamination and/or dust buildup. Each detector maintains its initially set sensitivity at a constant
level even when the chamber is severely contaminated. When compensation levels exceed normal values, a
maintenance signal (dirty detector) signal is generated.
The intelligent detector is capable of being field programmed for one of five response/sensitivity modes (see below).
Response modes correspond to unique response behaviors of a detector and the type of environment it is
protecting, which can be broadly related to the characteristics of a fire. The detector response modes relate to
different combinations of smoke sensitivity characteristics and programmable assessment times. Response mode
1 is more sensitive than response mode 5. Detectors set to response mode 1 would be more suitable for
environments in which sources of unwanted alarms are rare (i.e.: clean rooms and computer rooms). Response
mode 5 set detectors would be suitable for more dusty or harsh environments (i.e.: boiler rooms, loading dock
areas). Response mode 3 (default programmed) would be the mid-sensitivity level used for most normal
applications. Response mode setting and hysteresis of the individual detectors are stored within the detector’s
memory. The storing of this critical information in the detector rather in the fire alarm control panel software allows
the detector to maintain its programmed response settings and compensated values even when power is removed
from the detector. If the detector is powered down or inadvertently placed in another location, the detector response
mode and clean values are not lost.

If an intelligent device is in alarm the AX-CTL-1L, AX-CTL-2 or AX-CTL-4 will perform multiple assessments of the
alarming device to ensure that the alarm condition from the device is valid. The value of the assessment time can
be programmed by the installer during installation. Programmable assessment time fields range from 0 to a
maximum of 10 seconds (0 to 20/30 seconds for Multi-Sensor detectors) from the first report of an alarm condition
to the final validated (assessed) alarm condition. Refer to Front Panel Programming Manual or PC-NeT Field
Configuration Manual for further explanation.
Note: Programmed default values for assessment time:
Detectors: Default 5 seconds. Maximum 10 seconds.
Input Modules: Default 0 seconds. Maximum 10 seconds.
When an intelligent device enters an alarm condition the analog value of the device can be viewed by the panel’s
graphical display. Analog values for alarm are set at a value of 55. A pre-alarm value of 45 is set as a default for all
intelligent devices; this field is programmable and can be set at a lower or higher level. Refer to Front Panel
Programming Manual or PC-NeT Field Configuration Manual for further explanation.
If an intelligent device falls below a minimum analog value the AX-CTL-1L, AX-CTL-2 or AX-CTL-4 AX-CTL base
card will enter a trouble/fault warning (i.e.: “Device Dirty) condition for that specific device. In addition, a device
trouble condition (non device dirty) value is normally set at a value of 8 with a programmable range of 4-20.
In addition to all of the programmable capabilities of the intelligent devices, each device can also be setup for
Special Sensitivity Mode (SSM) operation. In this mode of operation devices can be set to perform different
functionality based on time-of-day/day-of-week (refer to Front Panel Programming Manual or PC-NeT Field
Configuration Manual for further explanation). The AX-CTL-1L, AX-CTL-2 or AX-CTL-4 AX-CTL base card supports
10 independent, 7-day time clocks.
Another feature of the detector, in conjunction with the AX-CTL-1L, AX-CTL-2 or AX-CTL-4 AX-CTL base card, is its
ability to sub-address detector base ancillary functions. Each detector is capable of incorporating, based on optional
base utilization, a remote LED and/or relay. When these options are utilized, the user is capable of sub-addressing
each of these options (remote LED and/or relay) to activate independently of the associated detector.
Detector Functions:
The fire alarm control panel supervises the connection to each intelligent detection device. The following statuses
are monitored and reported as trouble conditions at the panel.
Maintenance Alert (Device Dirty): Indicates that a detector has reached its limit of compensation in its chamber
sensitivity due to environment contamination. It is now in a state where further
contamination could mean the device is susceptible to false alarms.
Device Type Supervision: If an incorrect intelligent device type is replaced in a detector base.
Device Added: If the panel finds a device at an address where no device previously existed.
