2.2 FCC Warning
2.3 UL Listings and Requirements
*From National Fire Alarm Code, 1993 Edition. Published by National Fire Protection
Association, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269-9904.
All UL installations must comply with the requirements described below. Refer to the control
unit's installation manual for complete information.
10-2256 Requirements:
1. The 10-2256 and the UL listed compatible fire control must be installed in the same room. All
wiring between the 10-2256 and the UL Listed compatible fire control panel must be enclosed
in conduit.
2. All electrical connections must comply with the ratings shown in section 3.2.4.
3. In a remote signaling installation, the control unit, slave dialer, and receiver at the remote site
must all be UL listed for remote signaling.
WARNING:
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in strict
accordance with this manual, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. It has
been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to
Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are 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. If this occurs, the user will be required, at his or
her own expense, to take whatever measures may be required to correct the interference.

Panel Description and Installation
CAUTION:
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, make sure the main control power is OFF when wiring. DO
NOT apply power until wiring is completed following the procedures described in this manual.
3.1 Panel Description
3.1.1 Phone Line Monitors
The 10-2256 dialer has two phone line monitor circuits, which detect phone line faults by
monitoring their voltages. These circuits feature a 40 to 90 second delay before a line fault is
reported as a trouble. When a fault is detected for longer than this amount of time, the audible
trouble signal will sound, the message will be displayed on the 10-2257 annunciator liquid crystal
display (LCD) (if used), and the trouble will be reported to the central station.
Note: To comply with industry standards, this product is equipped with line seizure. This means that any time the sys-
tem's dialer needs to communicate with the central station, it will NOT be possible to use any telephones that
are on the same line(s) as the fire system. Normally this condition will last less than one minute, but could last
for as long as 15 minutes under adverse telephone circuit conditions.
3.1.2 Watchdog Circuit
If the 10-2256 stops running, the watchdog circuit automatically detects the problem and attempts
to resume normal operation by resetting the communicator. Each time the watchdog circuit resets
the system, it also sounds the trouble signal.
3.1.3 Power Loss Reporting
The 10-2256 will report low AC conditions. For Cheetah the 10-2256 monitors the trouble relay.
For SHP/Rhino the 10-2256 monitors the control panel's main AC power input.
The AC report delay time is programmable. See Section 5, Step 20.

Model 10-2256 Fire Slave Communicator Installation Manual
3-2 151086
3.1.4 EEPROM
The electrically erasable read-only memory (EEPROM) is used to store specific information such
as system configuration, telephone numbers, reporting format, and account numbers. The
EEPROM retains the programmed information even when all electrical power is removed. It can
be programmed more than 1,000 times without losing its ability to store information.
3.1.5 DC Power
The 10-2256 operates on 18-40 VDC rectified power from the main fire control panel.
3.1.6 Indicator Lights
The 10-2256 has four LEDs to indicate status.
TROUBLE LED (yellow)
ON - A system trouble condition exists.
OFF - No trouble condition exists.
DC POWER LED (green)
ON - The panel is running on DC power.
OFF - The panel has lost all power.
PHONE LINE 1 LED (red)
ON - Phone line 1 has a trouble condition.
OFF - Normal condition.
PHONE LINE 2 LED (red)
ON - Phone line 2 has a trouble condition.
OFF - Normal condition.

3.2 Wiring
3.2.1 Wiring Precautions
High and low voltage must be separated by at least one-quarter inch. See Section 3.2.5 for more
information.
High current input/output: AC monitoring (if monitored directly)
Low current input/output: 24 VDC power and channel (zone) wiring
Audio input/output: Telephone wiring
High frequency noise, such as that produced by the inductive reactance of a bell, can also be
reduced by running the wire through ferrite shield beads or by wrapping it around a ferrite toroid.

3.2.5 Wire Routing
High voltage and low voltage inputs must be separated by at least one-quarter inch and must be
wired through different knockout holes in the fire control cabinet to maintain the separation.

3.3 Mounting and Grounding
The 10-2256 cabinet should be installed in the same room as the control panel (wire in conduit).
Mount the 10-2256 so it is firmly secured to the wall surface. When mounting on concrete,
especially when moisture is expected, attach a piece of 3/4” plywood to the concrete surface
before attaching the 10-2256.

3.3.2 Grounding the 10-2256 Cover
Before connecting power to the 10-2256, connect the earth ground wire to the base and cover.
Make sure that the ring lugs are oriented properly. ^ shows the proper connection and orientation.
After the 10-2256's cover and base are attached, make a slight bend to the wire that is attached to
the cover. This keeps the wire from getting caught between the cover and base when the cover is
closed.

3.4 Channel Operation and Wiring
The 10-2256 features four fully supervised channel (zone) inputs. They can be programmed to
accept three types of inputs. Contact closure, active high voltage input, or active low voltage
input. Do Not use active high or active low.
CHANNEL 1 (ZONE 1): FIRE ALARM
CHANNEL 2 (ZONE 2): FIRE TROUBLE
CHANNEL 3 (ZONE 3): SPRINKLER SUPERVISORY
CHANNEL 4 (ZONE 4): UNDEFINED ALARM
Note: Channel 4 can be used to monitor an additional state, such as “predischarge” or “release,” which is pro-
grammed to an optional relay such as the CRM4, SRM4 or RM4.
3.4.1 Dry Contact
A short across the end-of-line resistor (EOL) causes an active channel (zone). An open loop
causes a trouble condition.

3.5 AC Monitoring
Loss of AC is a reportable trouble condition, however, per NFPA 72 and UL864 cannot be
reported until 25-50% or the standby battery has been depleted. (6-12 hrs for 24 hr backed up
system, 15-30 hrs for 60 hr backed up system or 23-45 hrs for a 90 hr backed up system.)
AC monitoring/reporting for the Cheetah is done differently that the SHP or Rhino.
For SHP/Rhino:
The Model 10-2256 monitors the AC and delays the loss of AC reporting. See Section 5.3 step #
20 of the Model 10-2256 programming.
For Cheetah:
The trouble relay on the main board (CSC) can be configured for dialer operation. This allows the
contacts to delay transfer (6-30 hrs) during a loss of AC condition. During a delay period, the
trouble relay will transfer immediately if any additional trouble condition occurs (i.e. field wiring
supervision trouble). Refer to the Cheetah installation instructions #06-130 for additional details
on a Cheetah programming.
