1.1 LISTING AND APPROVAL INFORMATION
System 505 Listings and Approvals:
▪ ETL listed under ANSI/UL 864 [Control Units and Accessories for Fire Alarm Systems]
▪ ANSI/UL 1076 [Proprietary Burglar Alarm Units and Systems]
▪ ANSI/UL 1610 [Central Station Burglar Alarms]
▪ NFPA72 Compliant
▪ CFM Listed (California Fire Marshall).
NO E: Not all features, hardware, and selections may comply with ANSI/UL 864 listing
requirements but are beneficial for some customers. These items are noted as exceptions to
the requirements for listing conformity
.
1. ANSI/UL 864 STANDARD & SYSTEM SETTINGS
All System 505 units are shipped with options preset to conform to ANSI/UL 864. The user
may elect to make changes to some settings that may not conform to that standard. These
changes are as follows:
1. The SYSTEM 505 is shipped with O/S capability limited at a slave unit to only impact
the Slave System 505. The user can elect to activate a capability to allow a Slave
System 505 to take an account O/S at the master as well as at all the Slave units in a
Networked System.
2. The Network Option 7 SET menu allows the user to cause an ACK to be routed to the
other System 505 units for remote ACKnowledge. The default settings are for the

1.3 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The overall System is known as the DIGITIZE Alarm Processing System. Alarms are
processed from alarm/control sensors through alarm/control lines. When an alarm/control
condition occurs, an audible alarm, indicator lamp, alphanumeric message display, and a
printed hard copy record of the alarm/control condition will be presented to the operating
personnel. The System may be comprised of single or multiple SYSTEM 505s and/or
Computer Graphic Response Management Systems, known as CGRMS (Software P/N:
450406-0012, Hardware P/N: 450406-0015). The System is designed for fire alarm
reporting, security alarm monitoring and control applications for the municipal, industrial,
military, healthcare, collegiate, and commercial sectors.
1.4 SYSTEM 3505
The overall unit is known as the SYSTEM 505. The SYSTEM 505 is a totally solid state
System that uses state of the art devices and circuitry to continuously monitor and display the
status of all System connected alarms. The SYSTEM 505 is a microprocessor-based alarm
monitoring and control unit, with field programmable, nonvolatile memory. The SYSTEM
505 may be used to monitor multiplex, telegraph/McCULLOH code, direct wire, digital
dialer, network, addressable, polling radio, and serial input alarm signals. The SYSTEM
505 will also provide an alarm (both visual and/or audible) to operating personnel in the
event of an internal SYSTEM 505 malfunction. The basic unit is supplied with the following
standard equipment:

1.5 ALARM TYPES
The SYSTEM 505 handles four alarm type categories: ZONE, DIALER, BOX, and
SYSTEM ERRORS. The categories can be further broken down as follows:
ZONE
•
Direct wire inputs via EOL or RPI input cards.
• Multiplex inputs via Data Gathering Panels including serial devices connected to fire alarm
panels.
• Polling radio zones via Radio Data Gathering Panels.
• Addressable devices sent by the Muxpad series representing FACP accounts.
• Two-wire multiplexing via Q-MUX modules and nodes.
DIALER
• Dialers Dialer accounts received via DDI-10E, and Intellitize CID accounts, as well as
FACP text data received via the Intellitize subscriber unit.
BOX
• TELEGRAPH/McCULLOH coded boxes and 1221 Radio.
SYS EM
• Hardware and/or inter-equipment error messages
Throughout this manual, when the terms ZONE, DIALER, or BOX are used, unless
otherwise indicated, they refer to any of the above devices.
1.6 DISPLAY
The SYSTEM 505 front panel display (Figure 5-1 Front Panal Keyboard) provides detailed
information to the operator. The first line indicates the current number of Alarms, Troubles,
FA SUPV, Out of Service, DAY and Restorals.
The second line defaults to Day of Week, Month, Date and Time. If an Alarm or Supervisory
condition appears, the Day of the week is replaced by the priority level (flashing in reverse
video). The rest of the line flashes ALRM ZN XXXXXXXXX or NEW ALRM WAITING.
If a Trouble or Restoral condition appears, the Day of the week remains on the display and
the rest of the message changes to: TRBL ZN XXXXXXXXX or SECU ZN
XXXXXXXXX.
The third line indicates the alarm priority level, the zone in alarm or trouble, the origination
date and time of the condition. During the System SET commands this line changes to the
display message applicable to the SET command being processed.

The four lines of large text is the first page of the user text information for the last condition.
The condition flashes along the left side of the three lines when it is received. After
ACKnowledgement, the condition stops flashing and remains illuminated. Additional pages
of user text appear in smaller type below the four lines of large text.
*The user can select the order in which the text information is displayed to the Dispatcher by
using the SET 9 menu.
Below the double yellow line is space for a list of the current open conditions. The number
of conditions that appear here is dictated by the number of conditions received and the
amount of lines that appear above the double yellow line. For instance, if there are quite a
few pages of user text messages listed above the double yellow line, fewer open conditions
may be displayed below the double yellow line. When three or more text pages are present,
they may be accessed by depressing the SNGL/MULTI PAGE DISP soft key.
The last part of the display provides the titles to the programmable keys on each particular
System. Their availability is determined by the options installed in each unit.
1.7 MEMORY
Each SYSTEM 505 is supplied with 150 screens of nonvolatile, nonmagnetic, field
programmable memory for storage of user text information. This memory is located in the
“System” memory module and occupies the first IC socket, (U1) of the first memory
motherboard, which is provided with the System. All memory module data will be
maintained in the event of a complete power failure, including the loss of battery backup.
There are seven empty memory sockets available on the System supplied memory
motherboard. Nonvolatile, nonmagnetic storage may be added to the SYSTEM 505 by
installing memory modules and additional motherboards. Please refer to Figure

1.10 TROUBLE REMINDER
Per NFPA guidelines, the SYSTEM 505 must alert the operator any time that a Trouble
condition remains continuously active for longer then 24 hours. Each time a Trouble
condition remains active for longer then 24 hours, the SYSTEM 505 will print to the
logging printer the current date and time along with the words "TROUBLE REMINDER" (in
reverse video text). The account type, i.e. Zone, Dlr, Sys, etc. as well as the account number
will also be printed. The Trouble indicator will begin to flash, and the trouble sound will be
activated at this time. The operator must ACK this reminder condition.
The user can select the time of the day that this 24 hour reminder will print. NO E: because
every trouble and O/S condition will be printed at this 24 hour time interval, the first
indication of an account’s trouble will be less that 24 hours then every 24 hours thereafter.
