PANEL PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS
This control panel will not show an alarm condition without compatible initiating devices (smoke detectors,
etc.)andindicatingdevices(horn,lights,etc.)connectedtoit. Electricalratingsoftheinitiatingandindicating
appliancesmustbeU.L.listedcompatiblewiththeelectricalratingsofthecontrolpanelandmustbeproperly
interconnected. The wiring used for interconnection must be large enough to carry the total current by all
appliances without excessive voltage drop.
This panel must be connected to a dedicated primary electrical source of 120VAC 60Hz that has a high
degreeofreliabilityandadequatecapacityforthispanel. Theonlymeansofdisconnectingthispowersource
shall be available only to authorized personnel and clearly marked “Fire Alarm Circuit Control”.
Thispanelmustalso have connected to it,abatteryset (24V) that has enoughcapacitytoproperly operate
thesystemfor24hoursstandbyand5minutesalarmperNFPA72or60hoursstandbyand5minutesalarm
perNFPA72.Thesebatteriesdolosecapacitywithage. Batteriesmustbereplacedwhentheyfailtoprovide
the panel with the required standby and alarm power or 4 years whichever happens first. These batteries
must be checked for performance at least 2 times per year or more often if local requirements dictate it.
A regular test program should be followed and documented to make sure that each part of the system is
tested as per NFPA 72 or more often if dictated by local code requirements. Malfunctioned units must be
replaced or repaired immediately by factory authorized service personnel.
Note: This panel is designed to show an alarm condition when the initiating devices connected to it detect
specific conditions. These conditions may or may not represent a life threatening condition (ie burnt toast
maynotbealifethreateningconditionbutmaycauseaninitiatingdevicetoindicateanalarmcondition). Also,
evacuationofabuildingorareaunnecessarilymaysubjectindividualstoanunnecessaryhazard. Therefore,
it is most important that building owner, manager or representative promulgate, distribute and/or post
instructions describing steps to be taken when the fire alarm panel signals an alarm condition. These
instructionsshouldbedevelopedincooperationandconformancewithrepresentativesofthelocalauthority
havingjurisdiction.
Asabackuporprecautionarymeasure,itisstronglysuggestedthatoneofthesestepsshouldbeto
notify the local fire department even where the city tie option (or similar device) is included in the
system.

The 15220A, Two Zone, and 15240A, Four Zone, Fire Alarm System Control Unit provides manual, automatic,
and waterflow alarm and supervisory service. Zone #1 may be used as a manual, automatic, or waterflow initiating
circuit or it can be programmed to be used with normally open sprinkler supervisory switches. Zone #2 may be used
as a manual, automatic, or waterflow initiating circuit and can also be programmed to be non-silencable for use with
waterflow switches, if required. The control unit has one signal circuit capable of operating up to a total of 2.5A. of
U.L.listedcompatible signals. Thecontrolunit alsoprovidesup to0.3A.of resetable 19-28VDCpowerfor U.L. listed

Battery Cabinet. The trim allows the cabinet to be mounted up to 3.5" deep into the wall.
ONE OF THE FOLLOWING BATTERY SETS SHOULD BE USED TO SATISFY THE N.F.P.A. REQUIREMENT
OF A SECONDARY AND TROUBLE SIGNAL POWER SUPPLY. SEE SECTION III FOR CALCULATING
BATTERY REQUIREMENTS:
The 14047 Battery Set provides 6 Amp.- Hours of capacity @ 24 volts and mounts in the 15220A or 15240A Fire
Alarm System Control Unit cabinet.
The 14048 Battery Set provides 10 Amp.- Hours of capacity @ 24 volts and mounts in the 15220A or 15240A Fire
Alarm System Control Unit cabinet.
The 14049 Battery Set provides 15 Amp. - Hours of capacity @ 24 volts and mounts in the 14050 Battery Cabinet.
The 14050 Battery Cabinet is used for mounting the 14049 Battery Set. The battery cabinet matches the 15220A
or 15240A Fire Alarm System Control Unit in size, finish, and construction.

a form "C" system trouble contact, and a form "C" general alarm contact. This module also contains a trouble L.E.D.
that will indicate an open condition or activated annunciator output. The form "C" trouble contact is 21-28VDC
powered for driving a 21-28VDC remote trouble unit or it may be programmed dry for other applications.
The 15213A March Time / Temporal Signaling Module isanoptionalmodule for the15220Aor 15240A FireAlarm
System Control Unit. This module provides programming capabilities for the control unit's signal circuit (Note: This
module doesn't provide two additional signal circuits). Circuit #1 can be programmed for steady, march time or
temporal (code 3) signaling. Circuit #2 is non-silencable, intended for steady operation of strobes or other signals
required to be non-silencable.
