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 notifi-
cation 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 commu-
nication, and other various interoperable communication meth-
ods—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 (NFPA 72), 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 Management Agency (an agency of the United
States government) indicated that smoke 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, chim-
neys, 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 reach-
ing the detector.
The amount of “smoke” present may be insufficient to alarm
smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are designed to alarm at var-
ious levels of smoke density. If such density levels are not cre-
ated 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 cham-
bers 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 warn-
ing 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 materi-
als, 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 detec-
tors 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 devel-
oping fire may damage the alarm system, compromising its abil-
ity 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 intelligi-
bility requirements as defined by NFPA, local codes, and
Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
• Language and instructional requirements must be clearly dis-
seminated on any local displays.
• Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures in
people 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 different 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 sig-
nals.
• 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
batteries only 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 compat-
ible with the control panel. It is essential to use only equipment
listed for service with your control panel.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a prem-
ises to a central monitoring station may be out of service or tem-
porarily disabled. For added protection against telephone line
failure, backup radio transmission systems 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 stan-
dards. At a minimum, the requirements of NFPA 72 shall be fol-
lowed. 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 monthly or as
required by National and/or local fire codes and should be per-
formed by authorized professional life safety system installers
only. Adequate written records of all inspections should be kept.

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 associ-
ated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or insert-
ing cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is
energized. Do not attempt to install, service, or operate this
unit until manuals are read and understood.
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 pro-
gramming 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 compo-
nents, 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 com-
ponents 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 indi-
cating 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 light-
ning induced transients. Although no system is completely
immune from lightning transients and interference, 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 Ser-
vices Department if any problems are anticipated or encoun-
tered.
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 modifi-
cations, verify that they will not interfere with battery, trans-
former, 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 han-
dling 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 pro-
gramming manuals. These instructions must be followed to
avoid damage to the control panel and associated equipment.
FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper installation.

ular plug which is Part 68 compliant.
1.7 Operational Modes
1.7.1 Normal Mode
Normal Mode is the standard mode of operation in which the 411/411UD 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 digi-
tal communicator transmits system status information to UL listed central station receivers. Trans-
mitted data includes fire alarm, fire alarm trouble, supervisory alarm and AC loss information.
Specific 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. Use of
this mode requires a valid password.
1.7.3 Program Mode
Program Mode is used to change the programmed functions of the 411/411UD digital communica-
tor. While the communicator is in Program Mode, it does not monitor channel inputs. Use of this
mode requires a valid password.
1.7.4 Troubleshoot Mode
Troubleshoot Mode may be used for testing the telephone line interconnect wiring. Connection
from the 411/411UD’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 Default Mode
Default Mode may be used to return all 411/411UD programming back to the factory default set-
tings.

Section 2: Installation
2.1 Mounting Options
The 411/411UD may be mounted in any metal enclosure UL-listed for fire protective use. Mount-
ing tabs are provided for ease of mounting. No other devices are to be installed in the enclosure.
2.2 Operating Power
12VDC or 24VDC nominal power connections are made to TB1 on the 411/411UD circuit board.
When jumper J4 is shorted across pins 1 and 2, the 411/411UD is set for 12 VDC nominal operating
voltage. Power-limited, filtered, nonresettable 12 VDC nominal operating power can be supplied
directly to the 411/411UD by a UL listed 12 VDC power supply listed for fire protection or by a
nonresettable 12 VDC output from a control panel. Alternatively, shorting J4 Jumper on pins 2 and
3 allows the 411/411UD to be supplied by a power-limited, nonresettable, UL listed 24 VDC power
supply, which, in order to comply with UL 864 must be listed for Fire Protective Signaling Systems
or by a nonresettable 24 VDC output from a control panel. This nominal 24 VDC power is then
internally regulated by the digital communicator to 12 VDC operating power. Refer to Figure 1.3
on page 11 for more information on J4 and pin locations.
Note that upon power-up, the 411/411UD will immediately annunciate a DACT trouble since the
communicator is factory defaulted to 'communicator disabled' at program location 64.
!
CAUTION: DISCONNECT ALL SOURCES OF POWER
DISCONNECT ALL POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE 411/411UD. THE DIGITAL
COMMUNICATOR MAY BE DAMAGED BY REMOVING AND/OR INSERTING COMPONENTS OR
INTERCONNECTING CABLES WHILE THE UNIT IS ENERGIZED.

Input Channels Installation
2.3 Input Channels
The 411/411UD digital communicator has three (411) or four (411UD) channel inputs. Each chan-
nel is a Style B (Class B) Initiating Device Circuit designed to accept any normally-open contact
device. Since channels do not latch, a reset switch is not provided by the 411/411UD. The commu-
nicator transmissions to a central station track the state of the inputs. Refer to Figure 2.2, “Style B
Channel Connections” on page 18 for information on wiring Style B circuits.
Each input channel monitors a normally open device and may be programmed as follows:
• fire alarm
• host control panel trouble
• fire supervisory
•ACLoss
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 Station.
AC Loss Reporting - 411: Any channel programmed for 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. If
this is provided by the host panel, program no additional delay in the 411. Be certain to verify the
method employed by the host panel to be monitored.
AC Loss Reporting - 411UD: Channel 4 which is defaulted to AC Loss on the 411UD, or any chan-
nel programmed for 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. 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.
