Ratings
* Current noted assumes ONE initiating zone is in alarm. The “Max. Alarm Current”
assumes all zones are in alarm.
2.6 Standby Battery
calculation chart
All components that draw current from the panel while it is in the ‘standby’ mode (AC OFF)
must be considered for the standby battery calculation. All components that draw current
while in the ‘Alarm’ mode must be considered for the alarm battery calculation.
Step 1: The control panel will always draw the currents as shown in the chart.
Step 2: Typically the alarm current is calculated assuming only one initiating zone is in alarm.
If it is required that more than one zone be considered, add 60 mA per zone in the Alarm col-
umn. Consult the smoke detector manufacture’s installation sheet to determine the standby
current of these devices. Write that number in the ‘current per device’ column then multiply
that number by the number of devices on the zone. Repeat for each zone.
Step 3: Consult the Notification Appliance installation sheet to determine the current draw for
each device connected to the NAC. For each NAC, calculate the total current in alarm and put
that number (mA) in the ‘Alarm’ column. Note: each NAC can supply 1.5 Amps max.
Step 4: Add up all the current drawn from the AUX+ output in the standby and alarm mode
and put those totals in the ‘standby’ and ‘alarm’ columns.
Step 5: Add up all the currents in the ‘standby’ column and the ‘Alarm’ column.
Step 6: Convert the ‘standby’ and ‘alarm’ currents from mA to Amps. (divide mA by 1000)
Step 7: Write in the ‘standby’ time required. (24 or 60 Hr.)
Step 8: Multiply the ‘standby’ Amps times the ‘standby’ time to get the ‘standby’ Amp-Hr.
required.
Step 9: Write in the ‘alarm’ time required in hours. (5 min. = .08 Hr.)
Step 10: Multiply the ‘alarm’ Amps times the ‘alarm’ time to get the ‘alarm’ Amp-Hr required.
Step 11: Add the ‘standby’ Amp-Hr. to the ‘alarm’ Amp-Hr. for the total Amp-Hr. required.
Step 12: Multiply the total Amp-Hr. times 1.20 for the minimum Amp-Hr. battery required to
support the system for the selected ‘standby time and the selected ‘alarm’ time.

Section 5: Panel Operation
5.1 Operating
Sequences This section describes how the panel functions under various conditions. The choices you
make in panel programming will also affect how the panel operates. Please see “Programming
the CFP-102 System” on page 16 for information on how to program the panel, and descrip-
tions of each of the programming options.
5.2 GeneralZoneFire
Alarms Zone alarms have priority over all other annunciation. When an alarm occurs, the following
happens:
• The corresponding zone alarm LED begins flashing, the common alarm LED turns on
steady, and the alarm relay turns on.
• If a trouble was present on that zone then the zone trouble LED turns off. If the trouble
buzzer is audible then it also turns off.
• The NACs sound in a steady or temporal pattern, depending on the option selected (see
“NAC Temporal/Steady Programming - Section 1 (‘NAC1’ LED on steady)” on page 19).
• If enabled, the silence inhibit timer begins counting down (see “Signal Silence Inhibit
Timer” on page 20). If the silence inhibit timer is enabled, the panel cannot be silenced for
60 seconds following the first fire alarm. Subsequent fire alarms do not restart or extend
this timer. While the signal silence inhibit timer is counting down, if the Silence Alarm but-
ton is pressed the panel will sound a 1 second ‘error tone’ on the common trouble buzzer.
• The NACs remain on until silenced with the Silence Alarm button, or if the automatic
alarm silence is enabled, until the thirty minute bell timer runs out (see “Automatic Signal
Silence” on page 20). If the automatic silence timer is enabled, the panel will automati-
cally silence the NACs 30 minutes after the last fire alarm. Each zone alarm will restart
the timer, giving a full 30 minutes after the last alarm before the NACs are silenced.
• Once the NACs are silenced the signals silenced LED turns on and any flashing zone alarm
LEDs turn on steady. The common trouble LED and trouble relay also turn on and, if the
NACs have been silenced automatically, the buzzer will sound at a rate of ½ second ON/
OFF.
NOTE: A manual signal silence will not initiate the trouble buzzer. Only the common trouble
LED and signals silenced LED are turned on.
• Any additional zone alarms that occur while the panel is in alarm will reset the auto alarm
silence timer and turn on the NACs, but the panel will not restart the 60 second silence
inhibit timer.
• The zone alarm LEDs, common alarm LED and alarm relay will remain on steady until a
system reset is performed.
5.3 Waterflow
Alarms If the Waterflow Silence option is turned off (see “Silence Waterflow Alarms” on page 21),
when a waterflow zone (type 03) initiates an alarm the NACs cannot be silenced until all
waterflow zones are returned to normal. If all waterflow zones return to normal after the 30
minute automatic signal silence timer has expired, then the panel will silence the NACs.
If the Waterflow Silence option is turned on, then an alarm on a waterflow zone is treated like
any other fire alarm.
Waterflow alarms may be delayed by 60 seconds to prevent false alarms from surges in the
sprinkler system. The delay is common to all zones programmed as ‘waterflow’, type 03 zones.
If the delay is not used, all waterflow alarms will be instant.

PANEL OPERATION
13
5.4 Supervisory Zone
Alarms When an alarm occurs on a supervisory zone (type 04), the corresponding zone supervisory
LED begins flashing. The common supervisory LED and supervisory relay (supervisory relay is
optional) turn on steady, and the buzzer turns on steady. If there was a trouble on that zone,
the zone trouble LED turns off. The buzzer remains on until the trouble silence button is
pressed. Once the buzzer is silenced any flashing zone supervisory LEDs turn on steady. The
zone supervisory LEDs, common supervisory LED and supervisory relay remain on steady until
a system reset is performed.
5.4.1 Subsequent Fire Supervisory
After silencing a fire supervisory, a subsequent fire supervisory from another zone will resound
the trouble/supervisory buzzer and the new zone supervisory LED flashes until the Silence
Trouble button is pressed.
5.4.2 Supervisory / Trouble Priority
If a supervisory zone has a trouble and it goes into alarm, the zone trouble LED is extinguished
until that zone is restored and the panel has been reset. The common trouble LED will remain
on steady until all supervisory alarms have been restored and the panel reset. All other ‘com-
mon’ trouble indicators will operate normally.
5.4.3 Supervisory / Fire Alarm Priority
The supervisory zone LED, the common supervisory LED and the buzzer (in the steady super-
visory mode) function normally whether there is a fire alarm present or not.
5.5 Trouble
Operation When a trouble occurs, if there is a corresponding trouble LED it turns on steady. The common
trouble LED and the trouble relay also turn on. If no alarm is present on the system, the buzzer
will sound at a rate of ½ second ON/OFF. The buzzer and trouble LEDs will remain on until the
trouble is restored. If the Silence Trouble button is pressed, the buzzer turns off. Subsequent
troubles will resound the trouble buzzer.
NOTE: If there is no trouble present in the system then pressing the Silence Trouble button
will result in a 1 second error tone.
Please see the following table for a list of system faults that will initiate a trouble.

5.6 System Reset
Operation To reset the system, press the ‘Reset System’ button. The panel will remove all power from the
zones and the switched auxiliary relay for 10 seconds. During this 10 second period, the
buzzer will beep twice every 2 seconds.
The panel can only be reset if:
• the NACs have been silenced
• the supervisory buzzer has been silenced
• and all waterflow zones are restored (only applies if the Silence Waterflow option is turned
off - see “Silence Waterflow Alarms” on page 21).
If the panel is not in a condition to be reset, when the ‘Reset System’ button is pressed the
panel will sound a 1 second error tone on the buzzer.
After the 10 second reset period, the panel will turn off the zone LED for any zones that have
been restored. If one or more zones is still in alarm after the reset period, the panel will acti-
vate the NACs as programmed. If there are no alarms but one or more Supervisory zones is still
‘off-normal’ after the reset period, the panel will sound the trouble buzzer in the Supervisory
mode. If there are no alarms or supervisory conditions but a trouble is present in the panel
after the reset period, the panel will sound the trouble buzzer. After the reset period, LEDs for
any alarms, supervisory off-normal or trouble conditions will be on.
5.7 Lamp Test The lamp test will check all of the panel and annunciator LEDs. To do a lamp test, press and
hold the Lamp Test button. All the LEDs will flash.
A lamp test will only work if the NACs are not active and the supervisory buzzer is not active.
If a lamp test is unsuccessful the buzzer will sound a 1 second error tone. If any trouble or
zone has a state change during lamp test, the lamp test will be cancelled and the panel will
return to normal operation.
5.8 Walk Test
(Installer
function only)
To do a walk test, all zone alarms, troubles and relays must be in their normal state. You can
program the walk test to be either audible or silent (see “Audible Walk Test” on page 20).
1. To walk test the panel press the Walk Test button. The common trouble LED flashes and
the buzzer sounds one short beep. The panel will be in walk test mode for one hour, or
until you press the Walk Test button again.
2. As you test each part of the system, the panel will give the following indications:
NOTE: *Only if Walk Test Audible option is turned on.
Zone LEDs operate normally except that alarms do not latch - the alarm LEDs will turn off
when the zone is restored and the auto-reset has been successful.

zones are in alarm at the end of the walk test, the zones will indicate silenced signals.
NOTE: The Lamp Test button does not work while the panel is in Walk Test mode.
5.9 NAC operation See also “NAC Temporal/Steady Programming - Section 1 (‘NAC1’ LED on steady)” on
page 19, and “NAC Auto-silence and Strobe Programming - Section 2 (‘NAC2’ LED on steady)”
on page 20 for more information.
5.9.1 Class ‘B’ operation selections:
Steady (default) – On alarm the NAC will turn on steady. It will turn off on either a manual or
automatic signal silence.
Temporal 3 – On alarm the NAC will turn on with the temporal 3 pattern and turn off on either
a manual or automatic signal silence.
NAC2 Strobe – On alarm NAC2 will turn on steady. It will not turn off on a manual or auto-
matic signal silence. NAC2 set in this mode will only turn off on system reset if all zone fire
alarms are restored. Only NAC2 can be set in this mode.
5.9.2 Class ‘A’ operation selections
If the panel NACs are set for class ‘A’ operation then there is only one NAC. In this configura-
tion the NAC output can only be set for steady or temporal using the NAC1 programming
options For class ‘A’, the NAC2 Strobe option is not available.
5.10 Relay Function 5.10.1 Alarm Relay
The panel activates the alarm relay upon any (non-supervisory) zone alarm. The panel deacti-
vates the alarm relay upon a successful system reset.
5.10.2 Trouble Relay
The panel deactivates the trouble relay upon any system trouble. The panel activates the trou-
ble relay upon the restoral of all system troubles.

Section 6: Programming the CFP-102 System
6.1 How to Program
the CFP-102
You can program the panel using the controls and indicator LEDs. There are no DIP switches to
set for programming.
Once programmed, the operating modes selected are maintained in non-volatile memory that
will retain the programmed information even if all power is removed from the panel.
6.1.1 Entering the Programming mode
NOTE: All zone alarms must be reset prior to entering the programming mode. While the
panel is in programming mode, the annunciators will show a trouble condition.
1. Remove the lower front cover and locate the ‘Walk Test Switch’ behind the control panel
PCB, as shown below.
2. Press and hold the Walk Test Switch for two seconds. The common trouble buzzer and
common trouble LED turn on and pulse ½ second on/off.
3. Press any button. The trouble buzzer is silent, and the zone 1 alarm LED turns on steady.
The common trouble LED continues to flash.
4. The panel is now ready to program.
6.1.2 Programming the Panel
The control panel has six different programming sections, which are shown in the table below.
The Panel Status LEDs indicate which programming section you are currently in.
When you first enter programming mode, the panel will be at zone programming (section 0).
Each programming section has one or more programming sub-sections (e.g. section 0 has sub-

sections for zones 1 through 5). Use the Silence Trouble and Silence Alarm buttons to enter
your programming choices:
1. Each sub-section in a section will have 2 or more programming settings, indicated by the
panel Zone Supervisory and Zone Trouble LEDs. To scroll through the programming set-
tings, press the Silence Alarm button. Please see “Programming Section Descriptions” on
page 17 for descriptions of each section and settings, and the LED indications for each
setting.
2. When the LEDs show the setting you want for a sub-section, move to the next program-
ming sub-section by pressing the Silence Trouble button. The panel will save the indicated
settings when you exit the programming mode or go to the next programming section.
3. When you have programmed all the sub-sections in a section, the panel will move to the
next programming section when you press the Silence Trouble button.
NOTE: Pressing Silence Trouble will advance forward through each programming sub-sec-
tion, and each section.
Example: in the Zone 1 programming sub-section, pressing Silence Alarm will scroll through
each zone type setting (null zone, instant zone, auto-verify zone, etc.). When the panel shows
the zone type you want for zone 1, press Silence Trouble to move on to Zone 2 programming.
6.1.3 Exiting the Programming Mode
When you come to the end of all the programming sections, press Silence Trouble to exit the
programming mode.
To exit programming mode at any other point in the panel programming, press and hold the
Walk Test switch for two seconds.
NOTE: If 5 minutes elapse without any button presses, the panel will automatically exit the
programming mode. During the final 60 seconds before the exit, the panel will sound a warn-
ing tone on the buzzer. Press any button to cancel the auto-exit and resume programming.
After you exit the programming mode, the panel performs a system reset for 10 seconds, dur-
ing which the buzzer sounds double beeps. When the beeping stops the panel returns to nor-
mal operating mode and all programming choices are stored in memory.
6.2 Programming
Section
Descriptions
6.2.1 Zone Programming (Section 0)
In this zone programming section, the panel uses the zone alarm, supervisory, and trouble
LEDs to indicate the programming as follows:
Zone type 00 – Null zone (Not used)
The zone is not used. The zone is not supervised, alarms and troubles are ignored. The end-of-
line resistor is not required.

Zone type 01 – Instant alarm for 2-wire smoke detectors and contact devices
Zone type 01 does not differentiate between 2-wire smoke detectors, contact devices, or 4-
wire smoke detectors. When a 2-wire smoke detector, 4 –wire smoke detector or contact
device goes into alarm:
1. The panel goes into alarm without any delay. If an instant zone goes into alarm, any auto-
verify sequence in progress on another zone will be immediately cancelled and both zones
will indicate an alarm condition.
Zone type 02 - Auto-Verify for 2-wire smoke detectors
Zone type 02 can distinguish between 2-wire smoke detector activation and contact activation.
This allows you to have manual pullstations and smoke detectors on the same 2-wire zone.
With this zone type, smoke detector activation starts the auto-verify sequence, and a contact
closure (pullstation activation) initiates an immediate alarm.
When a 2-wire smoke detector on an auto-verify zone goes into alarm:
1. Power is removed from the zone for 25 seconds to reset the smoke detector(s).
2. After the verification period starts (power removed) if any contact device on that zone is
activated, the verification sequence is cancelled, and the panel goes into immediate alarm.
3. Power is restored to the zone at the end of the 25 second reset period.
4. For the next 95 seconds, any smoke detector or contact device that goes into alarm will
cause the panel to immediately go into alarm, activate the NACs, the visual indicators and
the common alarm relay.
5. If during the total verification period (120 sec.), any other zone on the panel goes into
alarm, the verification sequence is cancelled and the panel immediately goes into alarm.
6. If two auto-verify zones activate simultaneously, both verification sequences are cancelled
and the panel immediately goes into alarm.
When a contact alarm initiating device (pullstation) on an auto-verify zone goes into alarm:
1. The panel immediately goes into alarm. Any auto-verification sequence that may be active
will be cancelled.
Zone type 03 – Waterflow zone
This zone type is intended for waterflow alarm initiating contact devices only. Do not mix other
alarm initiating devices on this zone. You can set the panel to include a fixed timer that will
delay all ‘Waterflow’ type zone alarms for 60 seconds.
CAUTION: Do not use the waterflow delay timer when:
•The monitored Waterflow alarm actuating devices have a built-in delay of 30 seconds or
more. The overall maximum waterflow alarm initiation delay allowed is 90 seconds.
(NFPA A-5-6.2 – 1996 edition)
•The sprinkler system includes ‘ON/OFF’ type sprinkler heads. Such sprinkler heads can
cycle on and off within 30 seconds thus preventing an alarm from being registered.
When the contact on a Waterflow alarm initialing device is activated:
1. If the waterflow delay is not used, the control panel will go into alarm instantly.
If the waterflow delay is used, the waterflow timer will start on the first waterflow alarm.
Subsequent waterflow alarms will not restart the 60 second timer.
2. Once the 60 second time expires, if any waterflow zones are still in alarm, the panel will
initiate an immediate alarm. If all waterflow zones have restored at the end of the 60 sec-
onds, an alarm will not be initiated.
