WARNING: This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may
cause interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for class A computing device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC
Rules, which is designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference
when operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user will be required
to correct the interference at his own expense.
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 this manual is read and understood.
CAUTION - System Reacceptance Test after Software Changes: To ensure
proper system operation, this product must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72-
1993 Chapter 7 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.
This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0-49OC and at a
relative humidity of 85% RH (non-condensing) at 30O C. 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 nominal room temperature of 60-80OF.
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 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.
Fire Alarm System Limitations While installing a fire alarm system may make lower insurance
rates possible, it is not a substitute for fire insurance!
An automatic fire alarm system - typically made up of smoke detectors, heat
detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control
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.
Any fire alarm system may fail for a variety of reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach the detectors such
as in chimneys, in walls, or 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. Further-
more, all types of smoke detectors - both ionization and photoelectric types, have
sensing limitations. No type of smoke detector can sense every kind of fire caused
by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions,
escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical
circuits, children playing with matches, or arson.
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.
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.
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 supplied 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.

The system operates in Normal mode when no alarms or troubles exist. In
Normal mode, the control panel displays a system message as follows:
3. Operating Modes
In Normal mode, the control panel does the following functions at regular
intervals:
 Polls all Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) devices and the four NACs to check for
valid replies, alarms, troubles, circuit integrity, and so on.
 Checks power supply troubles and batteries every 10 seconds.
 Sends a supervisory query on the LCD-80 and verifies proper response.
 Refreshes the LCD and the optional LCD-80 display and update time.
 Scans the keypad for a System Reset or an Enter key press.
 Performs a detector automatic test operation.
 Tests system memory.
The system goes into Trouble mode when the control panel detects an electrical
or mechanical fault. With no alarms, a control panel in Trouble mode does the
following:
 produces a pulsed audible tone;
 flashes the System Trouble LED;
 activates the trouble relay (MPS-400, TB3); and
 sends a message to the LCD display, an optional LCD-80, an optional printer,
and the history file. Figure 4 shows a typical Trouble message:
1) Press <Acknowledge/Step> to silence the panel sounder and switch the
System Trouble LED from flashing to steadyregardless of the number of
troubles, alarms, and supervisory signals.
2) Pressing <Acknowledge/Step> while at least one new alarm or trouble
exists, causes the control panel to send an Acknowledge message to the
history file and an optional printer.
If the trouble clearsbefore or after pressing <Acknowledge/Step>the
control panel sends a Clear Trouble message to the printer. Figure 5 shows a
sample Trouble Message:
Addressable CMX
modules report both
open and short circuit
messages.
If all troubles clear and no supervisory or fire conditions exist, the control panel
does the following:
 returns to Normal mode;
 sends an All Systems Normal message to the LCD display, the history file, an
optional LCD-80, an optional printer; and
 restores troubles automatically even if troubles are not acknowledged.

 activates the System Alarm relay (MPS-400, TB3) and flashes the System
Alarm LED;
 displays Alarm in the status banner on the LCD display;
 latches alarms so they cannot clear until the alarm initiating device
returns to its normal condition and the operator resets the control panel;
 initiates any Control-by-Event actions;
 starts timers (Silence Inhibit, Auto Silence); and
 activates the general alarm zone (Z00).

Non-Alarm Point Operation Non-Alarm points are MMX addressable modules that activate Control-by-
Event. These points do not activate the System Alarm LED or the panel
sounder. Non-Alarm points use three type codes: Non-Fire, Hazard Alert,
and Fire Control.
Figure 8: Non-Alarm Points
Trouble Monitor-type MMX modules monitor remote power supplies or
other external equipment. These types of MMX modules operate like
troublesbut with the following differences:
 the LCD display status banner displays Active;
 the type code is Trouble Mon;
 the modules latchuntil the troubles are returned to normal condition
and an operator resets the control panel; and
 MMX modules can have Control-by-Event.
The four NACs (integral to the control panel) have Control-by-Event and
trouble functions like CMX addressable modules on the SLC loop. NAC
circuits differ from CMX modules in the following ways:
 addresses (last three characters in LCD field) are B01, B02, B03, or B04;
 the default type code field is Bell Circuit; and
 control panel NACsexcept those controlled with CMX modulescan be
used for coded functions (March Time, California Code, Temporal, and
Two-stage).
Control-by-event (CBE) control is done through 99 software zones. Each
input point (detector, MMX) and output point (CMX, NAC) can be pro-
grammed to list up to five software zones. Non-Alarm or Supervisory points
do not activate software zone Z00 (general alarm). You can list zone Z00 for
output points, but you do not need to list Z00 for input points.
Input and output devices with listed software zones work as follows:
 Inputs  When an input device (detector or MMX) activates, so do all
listed software zones listed to the input device.
 Outputs  When a software zone activates, the output device (an OR
function).
CBE Example
Detector D102 lists zone 05. NAC1 lists zone F05 and zone Z07.
1) Detector D102 activates.
2) Zone Z05 activates.
3) Bell (B02) wired to NAC1 activates.

Cross Zoning Options
Zones R0-R9 are reserved for releasing zonesproviding up to ten independent
releasing operations. Each releasing zone includes the following options:
 Cross-zoning  Select one of three types of cross-zoning. Refer to Cross
Zoning Options below.
 Delay timer  Select a 060 second delay before activating a zone.
 Abort  An abort switch-type code used to abort activation of a zone.
 Manual Release  Allows immediate zone activation by overriding the abort
function, cross-zone function, and delay timer.
 Soak Timer  Automatically shuts off the releasing device. Select 0001-9999
seconds for a Soak Timer or 0000 seconds for no Soak Timer.
Cross Zoning lets you program the control panel to activate a releasing zone
and any output mapped to the releasing zone. (If not using Cross Zoning, set
CROSS= to N.) Figure 9 contains a table that summarizes the types of cross
zoning and the conditions for activating a releasing zone.

Figure 9: Cross Zoning Types
Only the first non-
special zone listed in the
zone map is used to
determine Cross=Z.
The following explanations apply to the examples listed in Figure 10:
Cross=N  An alarm from any detector activates the releasing circuit.
Cross=Y  An alarm from any two detectors activates the releasing circuit.
Cross=Z  Release requires the activation of two detectors mapped to differ-
ent zones: D101 and D102 cannot activate the releasing circuit because both
detectors are mapped to Z1; D101 and D103 can activate the releasing circuit
because they are mapped to different zones.
Cross=H  Release requires activation of heat detector D104 and one smoke
detector (D101, D102, or D103).

If an SDX or CPX detector exceeds the programmed Pre-Alarm level, a
Pre-Alarm condition occurs: the panel sounder and zone F9 activate;
and the Pre-Alarm LED lights. Figure 12 shows a sample Pre-Alarm
messagesent to the LCD display, optional LCD-80, optional printer,
and history filefor a control panel programmed for an Alert Pre-Alarm.
Pre-Alarm Operation (AWACS)
Intelligent Detector Functions
Figure 12 shows a detectorprogrammed for a Pre-Alarm level of 5
that reaches 105% of the programmed Pre-Alarm level. The 105% is a
real-time display and tracks smoke levels.
If programming a control panel for an Action Pre-Alarm, the display
remains the same, but the word Action replaces Alert. The control
panel latches for Action Pre-Alarms and applies the programmed
control functions.

Zone F0 is reserved for Presignal functions. Zone F0 can be used to delay
control points until an operator verifies an active control point. If including
zone F0 in a CMX or NAC CBE list, zone F0 overrides of all other CBE
actions. Detectors and monitor modules must list zone F0 in the CBE to be
included in the Presignal/PAS operation.

Figure 15: Presignal Operation
At the first alarm, a programmable 0180 second timer starts. If a Signal
Silence occurs, the timer stops. If the delay timer expires, manual activation
will activate outputs mapped to zone F0. The System Alarm relay, the 4XTM
Polarity Reversal Alarm Output, and the 4XTM Municipal Box Output delay if
PAS is selected, but do not delay for Presignal operations.

Operation
The control panel can operate with special system timers: Silence Inhibit,
Auto Silence, and Alarm Verification. Figure 16 contains descriptions of how
each timer works.
Special System Timers
Disabled input points do not cause an alarm or any Control-by-Event activity.
The control panel does the following:
 holds all disabled output points in the off-state; and
 handles all disabled points as troubles, but displays DISABL in the status
banner.
If an alarm originates from a monitor point with a waterflow type code, the
control panel disables the Alarm Silence switch. Refer to the IQ-396X
Installation Manual for information on Waterflow Circuits.
The control panel will detect a trouble in an SLC wired and programmed for
Style 6 or Style 7 and drive both ends of the line to maintain communication
over the loop. The trouble latches and displays on the panel as a Style 6
trouble type until you press <System Reset>. Style 7 requires use of ISO-X
modules.
