An automatic fi e ala m system–typically made up of smoke
detectors, heat detectors, ma ual pull statio s, audible war -
i g devices, a d a fire alarm co trol with remote otificatio
capability–ca provide early war i g of a developi g fire.
Such a system, however, does ot assure protectio agai st
property damage or loss of life resulti g from a fire.
The Ma ufacturer recomme ds that smoke a d/or heat detec-
tors be located throughout a protected premise followi g the
recomme datio s of the curre t editio of the Natio al Fire
Protectio Associatio Sta dard 72 (NFPA 72),
ma ufacturer's recomme datio s, State a d local codes, a d
the recomme datio s co tai ed i the Guide for Proper Use
of System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at o
charge to all i stalli g dealers. A study by the Federal Emer-
ge cy Ma ageme t Age cy (a age cy of the U ited States
gover me t) i dicated that smoke detectors may ot go off i
as ma y as 35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are de-
sig ed to provide early war i g agai st fire, they do ot guar-
a tee war i g or protectio agai st fire. A fire alarm system
may ot provide timely or adequate war i g, or simply may ot
fu ctio , for a variety of reaso s:
Smoke detecto s may ot se se fire where smoke ca ot
reach the detectors such as i chim eys, i or behi d walls, o
roofs, or o the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors
also may ot se se a fire o a other level or floor of a build-
i g. A seco d-floor detector, for example, may ot se se a
first-floor or baseme t fire.
Pa ticles of combustion o "smoke" from a developi g fire
may ot reach the se si g chambers of smoke detectors be-
cause:
• Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, or
chim eys may i hibit particle or smoke flow.
• Smoke particles may become "cold," stratify, a d ot reach
the ceili g or upper walls where detectors are located.
• Smoke particles may be blow away from detectors by air
outlets.
• Smoke detectors may be draw i to air retur s before
reachi g the detector.
The amou t of "smoke" prese t may be i sufficie t to alarm
smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are desig ed to alarm at
various levels of smoke de sity. If such de sity levels are ot
created by a developi g fire at the locatio of detectors, the
detectors will ot go i to alarm.
Smoke detectors, eve whe worki g properly, have se si g
limitatio s. Detectors that have photoelectro ic se si g
chambers te d to detect smolderi g fires better tha flami g
fires, which have little visible smoke. Detectors that have io -
izi g-type se si g chambers te d to detect fast-flami g fires
better tha smolderi g fires. Because fires develop i differ-
e t ways a d are ofte u predictable i their growth, either
type of detector is ecessarily best a d a give type of detec-
tor may ot provide adequate war i g of a fire.
Smoke detectors ca ot be expected to provide adequate
war i g of fires caused by arso , childre playi g with
matches (especially i bedrooms), smoki g i bed, a d viole t
explosio s (caused by escapi g gas, improper storage of
flammable materials, etc.).
Heat detectors do ot se se particles of combustio a d
alarm o ly whe heat o their se sors i creases at a prede-
termi ed rate or reaches a predetermi ed level. Rate-of-rise
heat detectors may be subject to reduced se sitivity over time.
For this reaso , the rate-of-rise feature of each detector
should be tested at least o ce per year by a qualified fire pro-
tectio specialist.
Heat detectors are desig ed to protect
property, ot life.
IMPORTANT! Smoke detecto s must be i stalled i the
same room as the co trol pa el a d i rooms used by the sys-
tem for the co ectio of alarm tra smissio wiri g, commu i-
catio s, sig ali g, a d/or power.
If detectors are ot so lo-
cated, a developi g fire may damage the alarm system, crip-
pli g its ability to report a fire.
Audible wa ning devices such as bells may ot alert people
if these devices are located o the other side of closed or
partly ope doors or are located o a other floor of a buildi g.
A y war i g device may fail to alert people with a disability or
those who have rece tly co sumed drugs, alcohol or medica-
tio . Please ote that:
• Strobes ca , u der certai circumsta ces, cause seizures
i people with co ditio s such as epilepsy.
• Studies have show that certai people, eve whe they
hear a fire alarm sig al, do ot respo d or comprehe d the
mea i g of the sig al. It is the property ow er's respo sibil-
ity to co duct fire drills a d other trai i g exercise to make
people aware of fire alarm sig als a d i struct them o the
proper reactio to alarm sig als.
• I rare i sta ces, the sou di g of a war i g device ca
cause temporary or perma e t heari g loss.
A fi e ala m system will ot operate without a y electrical
power. If AC power fails, the system will operate from sta dby
batteries o ly for a specified time a d o ly if the batteries
have bee properly mai tai ed a d replaced regularly.
Equipment used in the system may ot be tech ically com-
patible with the co trol. It is esse tial to use o ly equipme t
listed for service with your co trol pa el.
Telephone lines eeded to tra smit alarm sig als from a
premise to a ce tral mo itori g statio may be out of service
or temporarily disabled. For added protectio agai st tele-
pho e li e failure, backup radio tra smissio systems are rec-
omme ded.
The most common cause of fire alarm malfu ctio is i ade-
quate mai te a ce. To keep the e tire fire alarm system i
excelle t worki g order, o goi g mai te a ce is required per
the ma ufacturer's recomme datio s, a d UL a d NFPA sta -
dards. At a mi imum, the requireme ts of Chapter 7 of NFPA
72 shall be followed. E viro me ts with large amou ts of
dust, dirt or high air velocity require more freque t mai te-
a ce. A mai te a ce agreeme t should be arra ged
through the local ma ufacturer's represe tative. Mai te a ce
should be scheduled mo thly or as required by Natio al a d/
or local fire codes a d should be performed by authorized pro-
fessio al fire alarm i stallers o ly. Adequate writte records
of all i spectio s should be kept.
While a fire alarm system may lower i sura ce
rates, it is ot a substitute for fire i sura ce!

Ope ational Modes
14 Document #50759 Rev.C 3/07/00 P/N 50759:C
1.7 Ope ational Modes
1.7.1 Normal Mode
Normal Mode is the standard mode of operation in which the 411UD digital communicator monitors the host control
panel status as well as telephone line voltage and other internal circuits. In addition to locally annunciating system
trouble, active channel and communication fail, the digital communicator transmits system status information to UL
listed central station receivers. Transmitted data includes fire alarm, fire alarm trouble, supervisory alarm, security
alarm, AC loss and process monitoring information. pecific digital communicator troubles are also transmitted.
1.7.2 Real Time Clock Mode
Real Time Clock Mode allows the user to change the digital communicator’s internal 24 hour clock. Connecting an
external Programmer allows access to the various Modes of operation. While the communicator is in Real Time
Clock Mode, it does not monitor channel inputs.
1.7.3 Program Mode
Program Mode is used to change the programmed functions of the 411UD digital communicator. While the commu-
nicator is in Program Mode, it does not monitor channel inputs.
1.7.4 Troubleshoot Mode
Troubleshoot Mode may be used for testing the telephone line interconnect wiring. Connection from the 411UD’s
modular jacks, through the RJ31X jacks and into the telephone network may be easily checked. In this mode, the
Programmer keypad acts similar to a telephone touchpad. While the communicator is in Troubleshoot Mode, it does
not monitor channel inputs.
1.7.5 efault Mode
Default Mode may be used to return all 411UD programming back to the factory default settings.

Installation
CHAPTER 2 Installation
2.1 Mounting Options
The 411UD with enclosure may be mounted in the cabinet of the Fire•Lite/Notifier control panel which is being mon-
itored or in any enclosure UL listed for fire protective use. When using with other than Fire•Lite/Notifier control
panels, the 411UD may be mounted in any enclosure UL listed for fire protective use. Mounting tabs are provided
for ease of mounting.
2.2 Ope ating Powe
CAUTION: Disconnect all power before servicing the 411UD. The digital communicator may be damaged by
removing and/or inserting components or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized.
12VDC or 24VDC nominal power connections are made to TB1 on the 411UD circuit board. When jumper J4 is
installed, the 11.2 to 12.4 VDC nominal operating voltage (UL tested range: -15%, +10%) for the digital communica-
tor must be power-limited, filtered, nonresettable. This 12 VDC nominal operating power can be supplied directly to
the 411UD by a UL listed 12 VDC power supply listed for fire protection or by a nonresettable 12 VDC output from
a control panel. Alternatively, removing J4 Jumper on the digital communicator circuit board allows the 411UD to be
supplied by a power-limited, nonresettable 21.3 to 24.0 VDC (UL tested range: -15%, +10%). This 24 VDC nominal
operating power can be supplied by a UL listed 24 VDC power supply, which, in order to comply with UL 864 must
be listed for Fire Protective ignaling ystems or by a nonresettable 24 VDC output from a control panel. This nom-
inal 24 VDC power is then internally regulated by the digital communicator to 12 VDC operating power.
Note that upon power-up, the 411UD will immediately annunciate a DACT trouble since the communicator is factory
defaulted to 'communicator disabled' at program location 64.
2.3 Input Channels
The 411UD digital communicator has four channel inputs. Each channel is supervised for opens (trouble) and shorts
(alarm) by the digital communicator. Each channel is a tyle B (Class B) Initiating Device Circuit designed to accept
any normally-open contact device. ince channels do not latch, a reset switch is not provided by the 411UD. The
communicator transmissions to a central station track the state of the inputs. Refer to Figure 2-4, “ tyle B Channel
Connections,” on page 17 for information on wiring tyle B circuits. Figure 2-2 illustrates the connection of the
411UD to a Fire•Lite M -9200 and Figure 2-3 illustrates connection of the 411UD to a Notifier AFP-200.

Input Channels
Each input channel monitors a normally open device and may be programmed as follows:
• fire alarm
• process monitor
• host control panel trouble
• fire supervisory
•AC Loss
• security alarm
Programming the input channel automatically programs the transmitted event code, however, the event code can be
changed since it is fully programmable. Event code transmissions can be tailored to the specific application and
requirements of the Central tation.
AC Loss Reporting: Channel 4, which is defaulted to AC Loss, will transmit a specific AC loss signal only if the
assigned Normally Open contact provides this function. Some panels provide an option that will automatically delay
the trigger of their system trouble relays upon loss of AC (such as the Fire•Lite Sensiscan 2 , MS-92 and Notifier
AFP-2 and AFP-4 ). If this is provided by the host panel, use Channel 2. Be certain to verify the method
employed by the host panel to be monitored.
Note that Process Monitor refers to circuits which may not specifically tie into elements of a fire system. With the
exception of burglary functions, process monitoring circuits could be used to monitor any nonfire functions such as
water temperature, room temperature, door open/closed, gas leakage, chemical leakage, etc.
The factory default programming for each channel is as follows:
✓Channel 1 - fire alarm
✓Channel 2 - host control panel trouble
✓Channel 3 - fire supervisory
✓Channel 4 - AC Loss
Channel Labels
Note that space is provided for labeling the function of each channel. Write the function that has been programmed
for each channel in the white boxes located to the right of the channel designator.
