WARNING: This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may
cause interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for class A computing device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC
Rules, which is 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, in which case the user will be required
to correct the interference at his own expense.
Installation Precautions - Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:
WARNING - Several different sources of power can be connected 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 interconnecting cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to
install, service, or operate this unit until this manual is read and understood.
CAUTION - System Reacceptance Test after Software Changes: To ensure
proper system operation, this product must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72-
1993 Chapter 7 after any programming operation or change in site-specific software.
Reacceptance 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 0-49OC/32-120OF
and at a relative humidity of 85% RH (non-condensing) at 30O C/86OF.
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 nominal room temperature of 15-27OC/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 interferences, proper grounding will
reduce susceptibility. 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, reaming, 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, and 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 suppressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies
removed from the unit.
Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and programming manuals.
These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to the control panel and
associated equipment. FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper
installation.
Fire Alarm System Limitations
While installing a fire alarm system may make lower insurance
rates possible, it is not a substitute for fire 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
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.
Any fire alarm system may fail for a variety of reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach the detectors such
as in chimneys, in walls, or 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. Further-
more, all types of smoke detectors - both ionization and photoelectric types, have
sensing limitations. No type of smoke detector can sense every kind of fire caused
by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions,
escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical
circuits, children playing with matches, or arson.
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, crippling its
ability to report a fire.
Audible warning devices such as bells 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.
A fire alarm system will not operate without any electrical power. If AC power fails,
the system will operate from standby batteries only for a specified time.
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.
Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible with the control.
It is essential to use only equipment listed for service with your control panel.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premise to a central
monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily disabled.
The most common cause of fire alarm malfunctions, however, is inadequate
maintenance. All devices and system wiring should be tested and maintained by
professional fire alarm installers following written procedures supplied with each
device. System inspection and testing should be scheduled monthly or as required
by National and/or local fire codes. Adequate written records of all inspections should
be kept.

1.3 Configuration Jumpers, Resistors & Diodes
• BatteryChargingCircuit(JP1) -Todisablelocalbatterycharger,cutjumper
JP1 (an external charger listed for fire protective signaling is required).
• Optional MPM-4F Voltmeter/Ammeter - To enable charger current mea-
surement with MPM-4F, cut JP1 and plug-in MPM-4F connector to the P3
header.
• Earth Fault Detection (R27) - To disable local earth fault detection, cut
resistor R27. Note that Earth Fault detection is required in Canada.
• Trouble Supervision (R63, D31, JP2) - These components are used to
configure local trouble reporting through the remote power supply trouble
contact. Refer to the Trouble Supervision section for a complete descrip-
tion.
• DelayAC Loss Reporting(R76 and R134) -When a DigitalAlarmCommu-
nicatorTransmitter(DACT) is installedintheFACP, the reportingofanAC
loss condition to a central station must be delayed. With 24-hour battery
standby, cut R134 to delay AC loss reporting for 8 hours. With 60-hour
battery standby, cut R76 and R134 to delay the report by 16 hours.
• Disable Resettable Power Function for Output Circuit #2 or #4 (R175 and
R176).
Cut R175 to make Output #2 nonresettable power.
Cut R176 to make Output #4 nonresettable power.
1.4 Optional Device MPM-4F Description
The MPM-4F is used for:
• Monitoring battery/charger voltage (Voltmeter)
• Monitoring charger current (Ammeter)
The MPM-4F is most commonly required in military installations. It consists of
two analog edge meters (a voltmeter and an ammeter) which connects to the
P3 Header.
The voltmeter measures battery and charger voltage. It is electrically con-
nected across battery terminals TB2.1 and TB2.2. When the battery is
disconnected, the voltmeter measures charger voltage only. Periodically
(approximately2secondsevery40seconds)theFCPSperforms a battery test
by disabling the charger. During this period, charger current that is measured
by the ammeter, drops to zero. The voltmeter now only measures the battery
voltage. Battery voltage ranges from 20.4 (low battery) to 27.6 (fully charged).
The ammeter is electrically connected across JP1 and measures current
deliveredfromthechargertothebattery,exceptfortheperiodduringthebattery
test. Charger current is normally limited to 250mA. In order to enable the
ammeter, JP1 must be cut.

1.7 General
The FCPS may be used in a number of different applications. It may be used as a
remotely-mounted power supply and battery charger where it can power up to four,
coded or non-coded, Notification Appliance Circuits. Alternately, any or all of these
circuits may be used as 24 VDC output circuits capable of powering four wire smoke
detectors or any device that requires filtered power. These circuits may be configured
as resettable or nonresettable outputs.

Figure 1-2: Simplified FCPS Block Diagram
One of the most common applications for the FCPS remote power supply utilizes the
NAC repeater feature. In this application, one or two Notification Appliance Circuits
(NAC) are connected from the main FACP NAC output(s) to the remote power supply
ControlInputcircuits. WhentheseControlInputcircuitsactivate(duetoreversepolarity
of the NAC output), the power supply will activate its corresponding outputs. NAC
ControlInput#1 controls power supply outputcircuits#1and#2. NAC Control Input #2
controls output circuits #3 and #4 (refer to Figure 4-2).
During the inactive state, the remote power supply supervises its NAC field wiring for
short and open circuits. If a fault is detected, the supply will enter a trouble condition
and illuminate the corresponding NAC trouble LED (Output Circuits 1-4). However,
once the Notification Appliance Circuits are activated, the supervision is disabled and
the circuits are no longer supervised. Supervision of other power supply faults such as
low battery, Earth Fault, AC loss and battery charger failure will continue and may be
monitored via the trouble relay contact.
Ifa specific applicationrequires that all fouroutputs activate atthe same time, onlyone
NAC control input from the FACP is necessary. For this application, the Notification

2.3 UL Power-limited Wiring Requirements
Power-limited and nonpower-limited circuit wiring must remain separated in the
cabinet. All power-limited circuit wiring must remain at least 0.25" away from any
nonpower-limited circuit wiring. Furthermore, all power-limited circuit wiring and
nonpower-limited circuit wiring must enter and exit the cabinet through different
conduits. One such example of this is shown below. Your specific application may
require different conduit knockouts to be used. Any conduit knockouts may be used.
For power-limited applications, use of conduit is optional.
Figure 2-3: Power-limited Wiring Example
If input circuit wiring
is nonpower-limited, the 24
VDC output on terminals 8 & 9
cannot be used and all wiring
must be run in conduit.

Operation
3.0 Trouble Supervision
WhenatroubleoccursontheFCPS,itmustalsoappearonthemainFire Alarm Control
Panel. The remote power supply has two ways of sending this trouble signal to the
FACP. However, only one of the trouble reporting methods may be used.
3.1 Supervision via FACP Notification Appliance Circuit
Supervision of FACP to FCPS Wiring
The FACP supervises the connection between itself and the FCPS via an End-of-Line
Resistor(ELR). TheELRmustbeinstalledattheFCPSendofthecircuit. Ifnoadditional
devices are connected to these terminals, the ELR must be connected directly across
terminals 3 and 4. An open or short on this circuit will be detected at the FACP as an
NAC trouble (refer to Figure 4-2).
Supervision of FCPS Faults
TheFACP willdetect these powersupply faults asan opencircuit condition onits NAC.
AnyofthefollowingconditionswillcauseaninternaltroublecontactontheFCPStoopen
provided the FACP NAC is not in alarm:
a) A field wiring fault on any output of the power supply during the inactive state.
b) An AC fail condition at the power supply (may be delayed depending on R134).
c) A battery fail condition at the power supply.
d) Battery charger fail.
e) Earth Fault condition.
Any power supply trouble will break the connection between the FACP and the ELR
provided the FACP's NAC is not in alarm. The FACP's ELR must be placed after the
last NAC appliance connected to FCPS terminals 3 & 4 or, if no appliances are
connected to these terminals, the ELR must be connected directly across terminals 3
& 4 (refer to Figure 4-2 and 4-3).
Note:CircuitControlInput #2 cannotbeusedto supervise thepowersupplybutan ELR
is still required for FACP wiring supervision.
Multiple FCPS-24 Controlled by a Single NAC
In a standby condition with no troubles, the FACP NAC output produces a negative
voltage which forces current to flow through the ELR. If any FCPS is in a trouble state,
thatFCPSwillopenconnectionbetweeninputterminalTB3.1andTB3.3. Thiswillcause
a break in the NAC, which will then be reported by the FACP as a NAC open trouble.

3.2 Full Supervision via Input Circuit or Monitor Module
Thismethod of supervisionprovides FACP annunciation ofthe FCPS troublecondition
even if the FACP is in alarm. The FACP's Notification Appliance Circuit is not used for
supervision. Cut diode D31, jumper JP2 and resistor R63. Monitor FCPS trouble
contacts at terminals TB3-3 and TB3-5. Any trouble condition listed above will trigger
theinternaltroublecontactregardlessofvoltagepolarityontheinput1. Anaddressable
monitor module or any FACP input circuit may be used to track the condition of the

4.0 Specific Applications
Figure 4-1a: Control Module Application (Style Y)
4.1 Controlling Four Outputs from One Input
All four FCPS output circuits can be controlled from one control input, which in Figures
4-1a and 4-1b is illustrated as a control module. The control module can be powered
from the FCPS auxiliary 24 VDC power output (TB3 terminals 8 & 9) and supervised by
an EOL relay.
All four remote power supply outputs are shown as Notification Appliance Circuits.
Alternately, circuits 2 and/or 4 could be used as nonresettable power output circuits
which is accomplished by cutting resistors R175 for circuit 2 or R176 for circuit 4 (refer
to Figures 4-4 and 4-5).
The control module is shown to demonstrate the use of the power supply on a
multiplexed system. The control module could be replaced with any circuit capable of
polarity reversal. Note that Figure 4-1a shows Style Y configuration and Figure 4-1b
shows Style Z configuration.

Notes: (The following notes apply to Figure 4-1a)
1) When the remote power supply is in an inactive state (control module not active), a trouble
on the power supply will result in an open circuit condition on the control module. As an
alternative to monitor for trouble conditions, the trouble contact on the FCPS may be used for
independent trouble monitoring (refer to Figures 4-5 and 4-6).
2) Do not loop wires under screw terminals. Break wires to maintain proper supervision.
3)ForStyleYapplication,anELRmustbeinstalledbetweenTerminals6and7forcontrolmodule

Notes: (The following notes apply to Figure 4-1b)
1) When the remote power supply is in an inactive state (control module not active), a trouble
on the power supply will result in an open circuit condition on the control module. As an
alternative to monitor for trouble conditions, the trouble contact on the FCPS may be used
for independent trouble monitoring (refer to Figures 4-5 and 4-6).
2) Do not loop wires under screw terminals. Break wires to maintain proper supervision.

4.2 Controlling Four Outputs from Two NAC Inputs
This application expands notification appliance power by an additional 6.0 amps.
Use up to four Class B (Style Y) outputs or two Class A (Style Z) and two Class B
(Style Y) outputs. In this example, the FACP Notification Appliance Circuits will
activate the remote power supply when reverse polarity activation occurs due to an
alarm condition. NAC #1 will activate FCPS outputs 1 & 2 and NAC #2 will activate
outputs 3 & 4. Trouble conditions on the power supply are monitored by the FACP
via Notification Appliance Circuit #1. Since Input #1 can monitor troubles, it is
advisable to control silenceable notification appliances with this circuit and
nonsilenceable or resettable smoke detector power with Control Input #2.

4.4 Stand-Alone Power Supply for Nonresettable Outputs
The FCPS may be used as a remote stand-alone power supply to provide up to an
additional4.0ampsofpowertoanydevicesthatrequirefiltered,regulated,nonresettable
power. A nonresettable output is created by jumpering the auxiliary 24VDC output
[TB3-8 (+) & TB3-9 (-)] to Control Input circuits 1 and 2. For addressable panel
applications,amonitormodulemaybeusedtomonitorthetroublecontactoftheFCPS.
If the FCPS enters a trouble condition the normally closed contact will open. Cut JP2,
R63 and D31 for this application.
Notes:
1) If an addressable M302 Monitor Module is employed to monitor the trouble contacts of the
remote power supply, the module must be supplied with separate 24 VDC power. This
power is required so that the module may supervise the connection to the trouble contacts
of the power supply.
2) One of the FCPS nonresettable power outputs (TB4) can be used to supply 24 VDC to M302
terminals 3 and 4 or a separate power source can be used. The auxiliary power output of
the FCPS power supply (TB3 Terminals 8 & 9) should not be used for this purpose.
3) The specific ELR required to be installed on the FCPS trouble monitoring contacts at TB3-
3 and TB3-5 is dependent on the particular model of monitor module employed to supervise
the FCPS. The Fire-Lite model M300 and M301 require a 47K ELR. The Fire-Lite model
M302 requires a 3.9K ELR.
4) Do not loop wires under screw terminals. Break wires to maintain proper supervision.
5) For a list of compatible devices, refer to Fire-Lite Device Compatibility Document.
6) It may be necessary to use an EOL relay on normally activated outputs for proper
supervision.

4.5 Remote Power Supply - Resettable and Nonresettable
The FCPS may be used as a remote stand-alone power supply to provide up to an
additional 4.0 amps of power to any devices that require filtered, regulated, resettable
or nonresettable power. A monitor module may be used to monitor the trouble contact
of the FCPS. If the FCPS enters a trouble condition the normally closed contact will
open. AresettableoutputiscreatedbytyingtheresettableoutputfromtheFACPtoone
or both of the power supply inputs. A nonresettable output is created by cutting an on
board resistor (R175 for Output 2, R176 for Output 4). For addressable panel
applications, use a monitor module to sense the trouble status of the remote power
supply via the trouble relay contact. Cut JP2, R63 and D31 for this application.
