Fire Alarm & Emergency Communication System Limitations
While a life safety system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for life and property insurance!
An automatic fire alarm system—typically made up of smoke
detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning
devices, and a fire alarm control panel (FACP) with remote
notification capability—can provide early warning of a developing fire.
Such a system, however, does not assure protection against property
damage or loss of life resulting from a fire.
An emergency communication system—typically made up of an
automatic fire alarm system (as described above) and a life safety
communication system that may include an autonomous control unit
(ACU), local operating console (LOC), voice communication, and
other various interoperable communication methods—can broadcast
a mass notification message. Such a system, however, does not
assure protection against property damage or loss of life resulting
from a fire or life safety event.
The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detectors be
located throughout a protected premises following the
recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire Protection
Association Standard 72 (NFPA72), manufacturer's
recommendations, State and local codes, and the recommendations
contained in the Guide for Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors,
which is made available at no charge to all installing dealers. This
document can be found at http://www.systemsensor.com/appguides/.
A study by the Federal Emergency ManagementAgency (an agency
of the United States government) indicated thatsmoke detectors may
not go off in as many as 35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are
designed to provide early warning against fire, they do not guarantee
warning or protection against fire. A fire alarm system may not
provide timely or adequate warning, or simply may not function, for a
variety of reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach the
detectors such as in chimneys, in or behind walls, on roofs, or on the
other side of closed doors.Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire
on another level or floor of a building. A second-floor detector, for
example, may not sense a first-floor or basement fire.
Particles of combustion or “smoke” from a developing fire may not
reach the sensing chambers of smoke detectors because:
• Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, chimneys,
even wet or humid areas may inhibit particle or smoke flow.
• Smoke particles may become “cold,” stratify, and not reach the
ceiling or upper walls where detectors are located.
• Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by air outlets,
such as air conditioning vents.
• Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before reaching the
detector.
The amount of “smoke” present may be insufficient to alarm smoke
detectors. Smoke detectors are designed to alarm at various levels of
smoke density. If such density levels are not created by a developing
fire at the location of detectors, the detectors will not go into alarm.
Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have sensing
limitations. Detectors that have photoelectronic sensing chambers
tend to detect smoldering fires better than flaming fires, which have
little visible smoke. Detectors that have ionizing-type sensing
chambers tend to detect fast-flaming fires better than smoldering
fires. Because fires develop in different ways and are often
unpredictable in their growth, neither type of detector is necessarily
best and a given type of detector may not provide adequate warning
of a fire.
Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate warning of
fires caused by arson, children playing with matches (especially in
bedrooms), smoking in bed, and violent explosions (caused by
escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, etc.).
Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and alarm only
when heat on their sensors increases at a predetermined rate or
reaches a predetermined level. Rate-of-rise heat detectors may be
subject to reduced sensitivity over time. For this reason, the rate-of-
rise feature of each detector should be tested at least once per year
by a qualified fire protection specialist. Heat detectors are designed to
protect property, not life.
IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in the same room
as the control panel and in rooms used by the system for the
connection of alarm transmission wiring, communications, signaling,
and/or power. If detectors are not so located, a developing fire may
damage the alarm system, compromising its ability to report a fire.
Audible warning devices such as bells, horns, strobes, speakers
and displays may not alert people if these devices are located on the
other side of closed or partly open doors or are located on another
floor of a building. Any warning device may fail to alert people with a
disability or those who have recently consumed drugs, alcohol, or
medication. Please note that:
• An emergency communication system may take priority over a fire
alarm system in the event of a life safety emergency.
• Voice messaging systems must be designed to meet intelligibility
requirements as defined by NFPA, local codes, andAuthorities
Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
• Language and instructional requirements must be clearly dissemi-
nated on any local displays.
• Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures in peo-
ple with conditions such as epilepsy.
• Studies have shown that certain people, even when they hear a
fire alarm signal, do not respond to or comprehend the meaning of
the signal.Audible devices, such as horns and bells, can have dif-
ferent tonal patterns and frequencies. It is the property owner's
responsibility to conduct fire drills and other training exercises to
make people aware of fire alarm signals and instruct them on the
proper reaction to alarm signals.
• In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can cause
temporary or permanent hearing loss.
A life safety system will not operate without any electrical power. If
AC power fails, the system will operate from standby batteriesonly for
a specified time and only if the batteries have been properly
maintained and replaced regularly.
Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible
with the control panel. It is essential to use only equipment listed for
service with your control panel.
Alarm Signaling Communications:
•IP connections rely on available bandwidth, which could be lim-
ited if the network is shared by multiple users or if ISP policies
impose restrictions on the amount of data transmitted. Service
packages must be carefully chosen to ensure that alarm signals
will always have available bandwidth. Outages by the ISP for
maintenance and upgrades may also inhibit alarm signals. For
added protection, a backup cellular connection is recommended.
•Cellular connections rely on a strong signal. Signal strength can
be adversely affected by the network coverage of the cellular car-
rier, objects and structural barriers at the installation location. Uti-
lize a cellular carrier that has reliable network coverage where the
alarm system is installed. For added protection, utilize an external
antenna to boost the signal.
•Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premise
to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily
disabled. For added protection against telephone line failure,
backup alarm signaling connections are recommended.
The most common cause of life safety system malfunction is
inadequate maintenance. To keep the entire life safety system in
excellent working order, ongoing maintenance is required per the
manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA standards. At a
minimum, the requirements of NFPA 72 shall be followed.
Environments with large amounts of dust, dirt, or high air velocity
require more frequent maintenance. A maintenance agreement
should be arranged through the local manufacturer's representative.
Maintenance should be scheduled as required by National and/or
local fire codes and should be performed by authorized professional
life safety system installers only. Adequate written records of all
inspections should be kept. Limit-F-2020

Installation Precautions
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:
WARNING - Several different sources of power can be con-
nected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all sources of
power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment may
be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or inter-
connecting cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to
install, service, or operate this unit until manuals are read and under-
stood.
CAUTION - System Re-acceptance Test after Software Changes:
To ensure proper system operation, this product must be tested in
accordance with NFPA 72 after any programming operation or
change in site-specific software. Re-acceptance testing is required
after any change, addition or deletion of system components, or after
any modification, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring.
All components, circuits, system operations, or software functions
known to be affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addition,
to ensure that other operations are not inadvertently affected, at
least 10% of initiating devices that are not directly affected by the
change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must also be tested and
proper system operation verified.
This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0-49º C/32-
120º F and at a relative humidity 93% ± 2% RH (non-condensing) at
32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 3°F). However, the useful life of the system's
standby batteries and the electronic components may be adversely
affected by extreme temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, it
is recommended that this system and its peripherals be installed in
an environment with a normal room temperature of 15-27º C/60-80º
F.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indicating
device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% I.R.
drop from the specified device voltage.
Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may operate
erratically or can be damaged when subjected to lightning induced
transients.Although no system is completely immune from lightning
transients and interference, proper grounding will reduce susceptibil-
ity. Overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended, due to an
increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the
Technical Services Department if any problems are anticipated or
encountered.
Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or inserting
circuit boards. Failure to do so can damage circuits.
Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling, filing, ream-
ing, or punching of the enclosure. When possible, make all cable
entries from the sides or rear. Before making modifications, verify
that they will not interfere with battery, transformer, or printed circuit
board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Over-tightening
may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact pressure
and difficulty with screw terminal removal.
This system contains static-sensitive components. Always
ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling any circuits
so that static charges are removed from the body. Use static sup-
pressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies removed from
the unit.
Units with a touchscreen display should be cleaned with a dry,
clean, lint free/microfiber cloth. If additional cleaning is required,
apply a small amount of Isopropyl alcohol to the cloth and wipe
clean. Do not use detergents, solvents, or water for cleaning. Do not
spray liquid directly onto the display.
Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and program-
ming manuals.These instructions must be followed to avoid damage
to the control panel and associated equipment. FACP operation and
reliability depend upon proper installation.

3.2 Environmental Specifications
It is important to protect the FCP-300 control panel from water. To prevent water damage, the following precaution should be FOL-
LOWED when you install the units:
• Mount the panel indoors in dry locations only.
• Do not mount the panel directly on exterior walls, especially masonry walls (condensation).
• Do not mount the panel directly on exterior walls below grade (condensation).
• Protect the panel from plumbing leaks.
• Protect the panel from splash caused by the sprinkler System inspection ports.
• Do not mount the panels in areas with humidity-generating equipment (such as, dryers, production machinery).
When you select a location to mount the FCP-300 control panel, the unit should be mounted where it will NOT be exposed to tempera-
tures outside the range of 0°C-49°C (32°F-120°F) or humidity not exceeding 93% non-condensing.

3.5 Wiring Specifications
The induced noise (transfer of electrical energy from one wire to another wire) can interfere with the telephone communication
or cause false alarms. To avoid induced noise, follow these guidelines:
• Isolate the input wiring from the high current output and the power wiring. Do not pull one multi-conductor cable for the
entire panel. Instead, separate the wiring as follows:
• Do not pull the wires from the different groups through the same conduit. If you must run them together, do so for as short
a distance as possible, or use the shielded cable. Connect the shield to the earth ground at the panel. You must route the
high and the low voltages separately.
• Route the wiring around the inside perimeter of the cabinet. It should not cross the circuit board, where it could induce
noise into the sensitive microelectronics or pick-up unwanted RF noise from the high speed circuits. See Figure 3.1 for an
example.
• High frequency noise, such as that produced by the inductive reactance of a speaker or bell, can also be reduced by
running the wire through ferrite shield beads or by wrapping it around a ferrite toroid.

Figure 3.3 shows the circuit board that attaches the FCP-300 assembly to the cabinet. If you need to remove the board assem-
bly for repair, remove the nine mounting screws (six on the main circuit board, and three on the heat-sink) which secure the
assembly in the cabinet. Then, lift the entire assembly out of the cabinet.
3.7 Calculating Current Draw and Standby Battery
Use this Section to determine the current draw and the standby battery needs if you use the FIK addressable devices
(Table 3.3).
3.7.1 Current Draw Worksheet Requirements
The following steps must be taken when you determine the FCP-300 current draw and the standby battery requirements.
1. Use the Current Draw Worksheet to determine the current draw and the standby battery requirements. Use Table 3.3 if
you install the FIK SLC Devices to determine the current draw. For the FCP-300, the worst case current draw is listed for
the panel, addressable devices, and all SBUS expanders. Fill-in the number of addressable devices that will be used in the
System and compute the current draw requirements for the alarm and standby. Record this information in the Current
Draw Worksheet on Line A.
2. Add up the current draw for all the auxiliary devices and record it in the table at Line B.
3. Add up the notification appliance loads and record it in the table at Line C.
4. For notification appliance circuits and auxiliary devices not mentioned in the manual, refer to the device manual for the
current ratings.

5. Make sure that the total alarm current you calculated, including the current for the panel itself, does not exceed 6.0 A.
This is the maximum alarm current for the FCP-300 control panel. If the current is above 6.0 A you will need to use a
notification power expander(s) such as the Fike FIK-5496 NAC Expander, to distribute the power loads, so that the FCP-
300 or the power expanders do not exceed their power rating. Refer to the Current Draw Worksheets provided with the
FIK-5496 manual so you do not exceed their power requirements.
6. Alternatively, you may network additional FCP-300ECS’ to obtain additional power.
7. Complete the remaining instructions in the appropriate Current Draw Worksheet for determining the battery size
requirements.
3.7.2 Current Draw Worksheet for FIK SLC Devices
Use Table 3.3 to determine the current requirements during thalarm/battery standby operation when the SLC devices are
installed. TheFCP-300FACP supports up to a total of 300 SLC devices, consisting of any combination of Sensors and Mod-
ules.7
