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 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 saftety 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.

Product Description Electrical Specifications
1.5.3 Wiring Specifications
Induced noise (transfer of electrical energy from one wire to another) can interfere with telephone
communication or cause false alarms. To avoid induced noise, follow these guidelines:
• Isolate input wiring from high current output and power wiring. Do not pull one multi-
conductor cable for the entire panel. Instead, separate the wiring as follows:
– SLC Loops
– Relay Circuit
– Audio Circuits
• Do not pull wires from different circuits (listed above) through the same conduit. If you must
run them together, do so for as short a distance as possible or use shielded cable. Twisted,
shielded wire on the Audio Circuits is recommended for maximum protection against EMI and
AFI emissions and susceptibility. Connect the shield to earth ground at the panel. You must
route high and 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 2.4 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.

2.7.3 Wiring Requirements for SLC Device
The following information applies to the MMF-301 - Mini Monitor module.
Wiring SLC in Style 4 (Class B) Configuration
No special wire is required for the ECC-FFT SLC loop. The wire can be untwisted, unshielded,
solid or stranded as long as it meets the National Electric Code 760-51 requirements for power lim-
ited fire protective signaling cables. Wire distances are computed using copper wire.
Maximum wiring resistance is 40 ohms to the farthest SLC device.
Maximum loop length depends on the wire gauge.

Figure 2.8 and Figure 2.9 show how length is determined for out and return style wiring.
When using T-taps, the total length of all taps and the main bus must not exceed 40,000 feet. This
requirement must be met in addition to the maximum distance requirements for the various wire
gauges.
Figure 2.8 Calculating Wire Run Length
The dotted line path shows how the
wire distance is calculated for the
SLC device at the end of the run.
The wire distance must be less than
the maximum per wire gauge.

2.8.1 Maximum Number of Devices
The ECC-FFT supports up to 24 zones. Each zone consists of one addressable monitor module
(MMF-301) and a minimum of one Fire Fighter Telephone Jack (FPJ-F).
2.8.2 Wiring Requirements for the Audio Telephone Circuit
No special wire is required for the Audio Telephone Circuit. The wire can be untwisted, unshielded,
twisted or shielded as long as it meets the National Electric code 760-51 requirements for power
limited fire protective signaling cables.
54 Ohm maximum impedance - 12 to 18 AWG.
Twisted, shielded wire is recommended for maximum protection against EMI and AFI emissions
and susceptibility.
If using shielded cable, attach the shield to Grounding Stud below TB6 of the FFT.
Example 1: MMF-301 SLC Device set to Address 10
Example 2: MMF-301 SLC Device set to Address 42
NOTE: Do not ground the shield on both ends.
