An automatic fire alarm system–typically made up of smoke
detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warn-
ing 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.
The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detec-
tors be located throughout a protected premise 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. A study by the Federal Emer-
gency 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 de-
signed to provide early warning against fire, they do not guar-
antee 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 build-
ing. 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 be-
cause:
• Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, or
chimneys 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.
• 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 ion-
izing-type sensing chambers tend to detect fast-flaming fires
better than smoldering fires. Because fires develop in differ-
ent ways and are often unpredictable in their growth, neither
type of detector is necessarily best and a given type of detec-
tor 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 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, 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. Any
warning device may fail to alert people with a disability or those
who have recently consumed drugs, alcohol or medication.
Please note that:
• 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 or comprehend the mean-
ing of the signal. It is the property owner's responsibility to
conduct fire drills and other training exercise 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 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 and only if the batteries
have been properly maintained and replaced regularly.
Equipment used in the system may not be technically com-
patible 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. For added protection against tele-
phone line failure, backup radio transmission systems are rec-
ommended.
The most common cause of fire alarm malfunction is inade-
quate maintenance. To keep the entire fire alarm 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 Chapter 7 of NFPA
72 shall be followed. Environments with large amounts of
dust, dirt or high air velocity require more frequent mainte-
nance. 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 performed by authorized pro-
fessional fire alarm installers only. Adequate written records
of all inspections should be kept.
While a fire alarm system may lower insurance
rates, it is not a substitute for fire insurance!

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 equip-
ment 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 Chapter 7 after
any programming operation or change in site-specific soft-
ware. Reacceptance testing is required after any change, ad-
dition or deletion of system components, or after any modifica-
tion, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring.
All components, circuits, system operations, or software func-
tions known to be affected by a change must be 100% tested.
In addition, to ensure that other operations are not inadvert-
ently affected, at least 10% of initiating devices that are not
directly affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50 de-
vices, must also be tested and proper system operation veri-
fied.
This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at
0-49° C/32-120° F and at a relative humidity of 85% RH (non-
condensing) at 30° C/86° 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 all peripherals be installed in an environment with a nomi-
nal room temperature of 15-27° C/60-80° 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 light-
ning-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 sus-
ceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Techni-
cal Services Department if any problems are anticipated or
encountered.
Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or in-
serting 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, 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.
Though designed to last many years, system components
can fail at any time. This system contains static-sensitive
components. Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap
before handling any circuits so that static charges are re-
moved 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 by authorized personnel.
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free
installation with long-term reliability:
WARNING: This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may

GENERAL
IdentiFlex 610 Fire Alarm Control Panel with firmware, version r7.2 is an update of the prior versions of IF 610 FACP
firmware. The version r7 provides all of the features and performance of the previous IF 610 firmware as well as many
new features and improved panel configuration data storage
NEW FEATURES
XP95-M Analog Addressable Multisensor Detector.
The Multisensor Detector includes both Photoelectric and Thermal sensing elements integrated into a single
head. The obscurity information from the Photoelectric sensor is combined with the rate of rise information
from the Thermal sensor, by a custom microprocessor, into the data count that is sent to the FACP for
processing. The microprocessor also performs drift compensation for the photoelectric sensor as
contaminants build up within the detection chamber. When the compensation reaches it’s set limits, the
microprocessor signals the FACP of the need to clean the detector. The microprocessor also monitors all of
the internal functions of the detector and, if any problem arises, signals the FACP of a trouble.
Note: The XP95-M is not FM approved.
Programmable Sounder Bases
As in previous versions of the IF 600 firmware, when Analog addressable Sounder Bases (XP-95 B6SNDR)
are used with analog addressable detectors, their default mode of operation is to follow the attached detector.
If the detector goes into alarm, the sounder in its base activates. When the detector is reset, the sounder
silences.
The Ver. 7.1 and higher firmware allows the sounders in the Sounder Bases to be programmed through the
panel’s CBE table, making them appear as normal output devices.
A typical application could be in hotels or dormitories, where the activation of a detector in any one of a group
of rooms could sound an audible alarm in the entire group without the need for separate notification
appliances.
While this feature was incorporated to allow independent control of the sounders in sounder bases, The same
programming will provide control of the relays in Relay Bases, or the LED’s in standard bases.
Multi Protocol UDACT
This version of the 600 Series firmware supports the UDACT 600/610 which will transmit programmed data to a Central
Monitoring Station in either Ademco Contact ID or SIA DCS protocols.

4
There are special functions which can be accomplished with the Gamewell Series 610 Fire Alarm Control Panel. One is
Releasing, which allows control of dump or deluge forms of fire suppression.
RELEASING
The Gamewell Series 610 Fire Alarm Control Panel, with version r7 firmware, and Analog Addressable devices, can
provide all of the required functions to control the releasing of bulk fire suppressant materials. The Series 610 FACP is
currently listed for NFPA 11 Low Expansion Foam, NFPA 13 Sprinkler, NFPA 16 Water Foam, NFPA-17 Dry Chemical
types of suppressant and NFPA 2001 Clean Agent suppressant. NOTE When using the panel for releasing NFPA 2001
agents, a mechanical manual release must be provided in accordance with NFPA 2001.
Operation
The releasing process is started by the activation of two ANDed initiating devices. When the first of the programmed
pair activates it is displayed on the control panel of the FACP and the Signal Circuit output will provide an audible signal
at the rate 60bpm. When the second of the programmed pair activates, the Signal Circuit output changes to 120bpm, and
the Pre-discharge timer starts. The time period of this timer is programmable from 15 second to 60 seconds. At any time
during this timer period, an Abort switch may be activated to manually intervene in the time cycle. There are five modes
of Abort operation, which are selectable through programming.
1. One Shot
(Default)
The Abort switch will pause the Pre-discharge counter as long as the switch is activated.
Upon deactivation of the switch, the counter will resume from where it was paused. Only
one activation of the Abort switch is recognized. Subsequent activations will have no effect
on the Releasing cycle.
2. Timer
Expiry
The Pre-discharge timer continues the count down while the Abort switch is activated, the
Releasing process does not occur until the switch has been deactivated, AND the Pre-
discharge counter has reached zero.
3. Immediate The Releasing process commences immediately after the deactivation of the Abort switch,
regardless of the Pre-discharge timer setting.
4. 10 Second
Delay
NOTICE: This mode does not conform to UL requirements! It is included since it is allowed
by some AHJs.
The Releasing process commences 10 to 18 seconds after the deactivation of the Abort
switch, regardless of the Pre-discharge timer setting.
5. Reset Timer NOTICE: This mode does not conform to UL requirements! It is included since it is allowed
by some AHJs.
The Pre-discharge counter is halted each time the Abort switch is activated, and reset back
to the full programmed delay when the Abort switch is deactivated. This delay cycle can be
initiated as many times as required.
Upon completion of the Pre-discharge counter cycle, or the programmed Abort operation, the FACP enters into the
Releasing process. The Signal Circuit output will provide a steady signal, and the Discharge delay counter is started. This
counter is programmable from 0 to 30 seconds. At the completion of the programmed delay, the Releasing solenoids are
activated and fire suppressant discharge is performed. A manual Dump switch will immediately initiate the Discharge
delay counter, after the deactivation of the Abort switch (if it is activated), regardless of the state of the Pre-discharge
delay timer.

5
Programming
WARNING! In order to properly prepare the inputs and
outputs required for Releasing, very specific programming
steps must be performed. Failure to follow these steps could
result in failure of the suppressant to be discharged, or there
could be unplanned discharge of the suppressant.
The following describes the steps to be taken to program the IF 610 FACP for releasing. The detailed programming
instructions can be found in Section 4 Programming.
In order to create a Releasing sub system, it is necessary to select and program Input devices, Control devices, and Output
devices.
Input Devices
Select the first initiating device to activate Releasing, program it as an AND zone and Assign Input Group X
Select the 2nd initiating device to activate Releasing, program it as an AND zone and Assign Input Group X
Control Devices
Select the input device for the Abort switch, program it as an Abort zone and Assign Input Group X
Select the input device for the Dump switch, program it as a Dump zone and Assign Input Group X
Output Devices
Select the Signal Circuit (Conventional) to sound the audible alarm, program it’s Alarm Level (ALR:1), first alarm,
and it’s Signal type (SIG:XXX) to Releasing. Program the Output Group to Y.
Select the Releasing Solenoid Module (RSI-95) to control the releasing solenoid, program it’s Alarm Level (ALR:3)
, Releasing. Program the Output Group to Y.
Tying it together
Program the Control By Event (CBE) table to have Input group X activates Output Group Y
IMPORTANT
Only the Analog Addressable Device RSI-95, installed in accordance with the Wiring Drawing
A-W572 should be used to actuate the Releasing Solenoid. This device is Bypassed during a
SmartStart to prevent accidental discharge , should inputs be activated during the generic
configuration. After a SmartStart, the correct configuration should be uploaded to the FACP,
the Releasing Solenoid disconnected from the RSI-95, and the Bypass removed from the RSI-
95. After determining that the RSI-95 is not active, the solenoid should be reconnected.
Refer to RSI-95 Installation Instructions P/N 72196 for details.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
IF 610
Control Panel
The Gamewell. IF 610 is a microprocessor based fire alarm control panel. The IF
610 system is available in three configurations; a 126 point, one circuit
analog/addressable circuit control panel (IF 610-126), a 252 point, two circuit
analog/addressable circuit control panel (IF 610-252), and a 504 point, four circuit
analog/addressable circuit control panel (IF 610-504). The system is designed to
accommodate a wide variety of applications providing the user with a full range of
features including; self testing, self monitoring and full field programming capability.
The IF 610 system comes complete with a system housing, a main 6 amp power
supply, the operators display module and the analog addressable module (1, 2 or 4
circuits).
SYSTEM MODULAR CONSTRUCTION
Common Control
Section
The common control section (CCS) consists of three modules; the operators display,
the bus driver module, and the main CPU module.
Operators Display
Module
The operators display module (ODM) is the main user interface to the IF 610 system.
It includes the interactive alphanumeric display, LED indicators, and tactile switches.
The operators display module provides the user with visual indications and guided
prompts during all operating conditions. All alarms, faults, or supervisory actions, as
well as system operating conditions (Normal, Alarms, and Faults) are shown on the
alphanumeric display. LED’s provide indication and prompt the user to respond to
the next sequential action. The "Power On" LED indicator is green, Alarms are
indicated by red LED's. Faults and user prompts are indicated by yellow LED's.
Bus Driver
Module
The bus driver module contains the circuitry that interfaces with the CPU and system
modules. The bus driver module is equipped with two Style Y or Z, limited energy
signaling circuits (2 amps maximum each), four relays which provide Common
Alarm, Common Trouble and Supervisory relays (Form c). A spare relay is provided
for future applications, and a city tie circuit. It has two power limited outputs for
24VDC auxiliary power, and resetable 24VDC smoke detector power. Circuitry to
monitor the status of the CPU and set the system in a default mode of operation is
also incorporated in the bus driver module. The (6) amp DC main power supply is
also incorporated into the Bus Driver Module. The main power supply has a built in
battery charger and connections to the battery. This charger will monitor and
recharges 25AH lead acid type batteries and have provisions for extending the life of
batteries. This is accomplished by eliminating the buildup of contaminants on the
plates. Provisions for "Brown Out" protection are functional when the main AC
power drops below a safe operating voltage level. An isolated RS-232 port is
provided to communicate with external systems and displays.
CPU Module The CPU module (or microprocessor module) contains the system operating firmware
and non-volatile memory. It provides all the system memory and processing
functions as well as providing the local and remote communications and supervision.

System I/O Components
Analog
Addressable
Module
The analog addressable module is a 1, 2, or 4 circuit card that monitors and controls
up to 126 analog/addressable devices (points) per circuit for a total of 504 points per
module. The analog interface module has its own microprocessor which
simultaneously communicates with the connected field devices and with the main
CPU. Each analog/addressable circuit can be wired as a Style 4 (class B) or, Style 6
(class A) analog/addressable circuit.
Addressable
Input Devices
The IF 610 system is designed to operate with Gamewell’s complete line of analog
detectors (ionization, photoelectric) and with the IF 610 series of Addressable
Input Devices. These input devices are available as either a Point Identification
Device (PID-95) or as a manual pull station (MS-95/T). The addressable input
devices provide the means for communicating between the IF 610 analog circuits and
contact devices or conventional type smoke detectors. Both the PID-95 and the MS-
95 devices are field programmable.
Addressable
Output Devices

OPERATOR CONTROLS
>>NOTE: THE “ENABLE” KEY SWITCH MUST BE ACTIVATED BEFORE ANY OF THE
PUSH BUTTON SWITCHES WILL OPERATE
ACK The “Acknowledge” switch (ACK) silences the internal buzzer of the panel and
returns to normal any signal circuit or relay programmed to return to normal
condition, when the "ACK" switch is depressed. Should a second alarm
activate the same points (signal circuit or relay programmed) which have been
returned to normal, the system will re-activate.
∆WARNING !
Do NOT reset the system until the Authority having
Jurisdiction has authorized reset.
RESET The Reset switch (RESET) removes power from the initiating devices for a
period of four (4) seconds. Power is temporarily removed from the S+ S-
terminals. Any devices latched into alarm should return to the normal
condition, provided the cause of alarm has been eliminated. The signal circuits,
city tie, alarm relay and/or supervisory relay will restore, and the panel will
return to the normal quiescent condition.
