Important information
Regulatory information
This product has been designed to meet the requirements of NFPA 72 National
Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, UL 864 Standard for Control Units and
Accessories for Fire Alarm Systems, and CAN/ULC-527 Standard for Control
Units for Fire Alarm Systems.
Industry Canada information
Note: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification
means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective,
operational, and safety requirements. Industry Canada does not guarantee the
equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be
connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The
equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The
customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not
prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian
maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made
by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the
telecommunications company cause to request the user disconnect the
equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground
connections of the power utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe
system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly
important in rural areas.
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but
should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as
appropriate.

liable for any lost profits or business opportunities, loss of use, business
interruption, loss of data, or any other indirect, special, incidental, or
consequential damages under any theory of liability, whether based in contract,
tort, negligence, product liability, or otherwise. Because some jurisdictions do not

iv FireWorks UL5W7 Workstation Installation Manual
allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental
damages the preceding limitation may not apply to you. In any event the total
liability of UTCFS shall not exceed the purchase price of the product. The
foregoing limitation will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
regardless of whether UTCFS has been advised of the possibility of such
damages and regardless of whether any remedy fails of its essential purpose.
Installation in accordance with this manual, applicable codes, and the instructions
of the authority having jurisdiction is mandatory.

About this manual
This manual is for the FireWorks UL5W7 workstation models described below.
Model Description
FWUL5W7 Workstation, Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 500 GB hard drive, DVD drive,
4 GB RAM (8 GB max.), Windows 7 Ultimate OS
FWUL5RAIDW7 [1] Workstation, Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 500 GB RAID 1 hard drive array,
DVD drive, 4 GB RAM (8 GB max.), Windows 7 Ultimate OS
[1] RAID 1 provides fault tolerance through disk mirroring. Two separate hard drives are used.
Both hard drives store the same data. If one drive fails, the other drive continues to operate with
all of the data intact. The total capacity of the array of drives is limited to the capacity of a single
drive. RAID 1 offers reliable data protection by providing 100% redundancy. If a drive fails, it is
easily replaced. All the data is automatically copied to the replacement drive.
This manual is for authorized and product-certified distributors who are
responsible for the installation of fire alarm equipment. It is assumed that you are
already familiar with multiplex fire alarm systems and the relevant codes and
standards.
The manual shows you how to install the hardware associated with a FireWorks
display and control system. It does not show you how to install or program the
FireWorks software.
About FireWorks
The FireWorks UL5W7 workstation and FireWorks graphical command interface
software comprises a computerized display and control system. You can use the
FireWorks UL5W7 workstation with the following:
• EST3, EST3X, and combination EST3-EST3X systems
• iO Series systems
• EST2 stand-alone systems
• IRC-3 systems
• FCC systems
FireWorks lets you use one or more display computers to monitor and control
several networks of multiplex signaling systems, and card access systems.

FireWorks UL5W7 Workstation Installation Manual 13
Setting up a FireWorks UL5W7 workstation
The following procedure describes setting up a FireWorks UL5W7 workstation
and connecting it to a control panel. The steps may refer you to other sections of
this manual or to other documentation.
Caution: Equipment damage hazard. Turn off the workstation and disconnect
AC power before installing or removing option cards, and connecting or
disconnecting external equipment.
Note: When configured as a proprietary supervision station, you can use the
FireWorks UL5W7 workstation to monitor contiguous and noncontiguous
properties.
To set up a FireWorks UL5W7 workstation:
1. Check to make sure you have all the hardware and software components
needed.
2. Install the option cards. See “Installing option cards” on page 14 for more
information.
3. Install the workstation.
For instructions, see “Installing the FireWorks UL5W7 workstation on a desk
or bench” on page 22 or “Installing the FireWorks UL5W7 workstation in a
rack” on page 24.
4. Connect the monitors, keyboard, and mouse. See “Quick setup” on page 12.
5. Connect AC power. See “Connecting AC power” on page 20.
6. Turn on the equipment.
7. Log on to the workstation. See “Logging on to the FireWorks UL5W7
workstation” on page 15.
8. Change passwords. See “Changing Windows logon passwords” on page 16.
9. Configure your monitors. See “Setting up monitors” on page 16.
10.Connect and configure your printers. See “Connecting printers” on page 19.
11.Connect external equipment (control panels, CCTV systems, etc.) and make
sure all are communicating with the workstation.
Important: Once the FireWorks UL5W7 workstation and all control panels are
connected and communicating, synchronize the control panel system clocks with
the clock on the FireWorks UL5W7 workstation. This will ensure that when
events take place in your system, the panel time and workstation time match for
each event.

Chapter 2: Installation
14 FireWorks UL5W7 Workstation Installation Manual
Installing option cards
The FireWorks UL5W7 workstation provides three expansion slots (PCI1 to
PCI3) for installing option cards. PCI4 contains the PCWD3 watchdog card.
Option cards are ordered separately.
Note: The FW-VIDTVC card and FW-MOD card are not compatible with
Windows 7 workstations.
Figure 6: Recommended option card placement
(1) Not used
(2) FW-NIC card (PCI1)
(3) FW-VIDTVC, FW-MOD, or FW-SP4i card (PCI2)
(4) FW-VIDTVC, FW-MOD, or FW-SP4i card (PCI3)
(5) PCWD3 card (PCI4)
Caution: Equipment damage hazard. Option cards are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD). To avoid damage, follow accepted ESD handling procedures
Note: You can install the FW-NIC card in any of the available slot positions. PCI1
is recommended for bench top installations so you can attach the FW-NCCA5
conduit adapter without blocking the remaining PCI card slots.
To install an option card:
1. Turn off the FireWorks UL5W7 workstation and disconnect AC power.
2. Remove the workstation cover and the card hold-down bracket.
3. Locate the appropriate PCI slot. See Figure 6 above.
