SYSTEM OVERVIEW
IF 630
Control Panel The Gamewell IdentiFlex 630 (IF630) is a microprocessor based fire alarm control
panel. The IF630 system is available in three configurations; a 126 point, one circuit
analog/addressable circuit control panel (IF630-126), a 252 point, two circuit
analog/addressable circuit control panel (IF630-252), and a 504 point, four circuit
analog/addressable circuit control panel (IF630-504). The IF630-252 panel can be
expanded to 504 points by adding an expansion module (AAM-630E) ,a 252 point, 2
circuit, analog addressable expander card. 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 IF630 system
comes complete with a system housing, a main 8 amp power supply, the analog
addressable module (1, 2, or 4 circuits) and the operators display module.
SYSTEM MODULAR CONSTRUCTION
Common Control
Section The common control section (CCS) consists of four modules; the operators display,
the bus driver module, a relay expansion module, and the main CPU module.
Operators
Display Module The operators display module (ODM) is the main user interface to the IF630 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, 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 or activated
signal circuits and city tie 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) and a city tie circuit. It has three power
limited outputs for 24 Vdc auxiliary power, 12 Vdc, and resetable 24 Vdc 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.
Relay Expansion
Module The bus driver module is equipped with a relay expansion module. This module
provides Common Alarm, Common Trouble and Supervisory relays (Form c). Each
relay has a fused common rated at ten (10) amps. Each relay has a positive feedback
terminal for status indication. The expansion module mounts (via standoffs) to the
right side of the bus driver module. A spare relay is provided for future application.
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/remote communications and supervision.

System I/O Components
Analog
Addressable
Module
The analog addressable module is a 1 or 2 circuit card that monitors and controls up
to 126 analog/addressable devices (points) per circuit for a total of 126 or 252 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.
Analog
Expansion
Module
For the IF630-252, the optional expansion module (AAM-630E) provides 2
additional analog addressable circuits allowing a total of 504 devices to be connected
to a system.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Main Power
Supply The main power supply is an eight (8) amp DC supply. The main power supply has
provisions for a battery charger module and connections to the battery. Provisions
for "Brown Out" protection are functional when the main AC power drops below a
safe operating voltage level. Operating from a 120 VAC source, the main power
supply mounts in the lower left hand corner of the cabinet, and cables to the bus
driver module.
Lead Acid
Battery Charger
Module
The battery charger module is a plug-in type module and installs directly into the
main power supply card. This module will monitor and recharge 60 AH lead acid
type batteries and has provisions for extending the life of batteries. This is
accomplished by eliminating the build-up of contaminants on the plates.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Addressable
Input Devices The IF630 system is designed to operate with Gamewell's complete line of analog
detectors (ionization, photoelectric) and with the IdentiFlex 600 series of
Addressable Input Devices. These input devices are available as either a single Point
Identification Device (PID-95) or as a manual pull station (MS-95). The addressable
input devices provide the means for communicating between the IF630 analog circuits
and contact devices or conventional type smoke detectors. Both the PID-95 and the
MS-95 devices are field programmable.

WARNING NOTE
When shipped from the factory, the IdentiFlex 630 system has been initialized to
a minimal "default" configuration as part of our system testing procedures. It is
important that the system be re-initialized utilizing the SmartStart feature upon
installation. This will result in a customized default configuration.
The IF630 System will not recognize or communicate with any of the
connected devices until the SmartStart process has been exercised. The
IF630 will not report an alarm until this process has been completed. Refer
to the programming section of this manual for details about activating
SmartStart.
After the SmartStart routine has reinitialized the IF630, the system will be
configured as follows:
1. All (input) initiating points are configured to be "Automatic" initiating points
(standard smoke detector points). Point Identification Devices (PID's) shall be
configured as manual stations if the priority interrupt is set.
2. The system defaults to Security Level #2 (Acknowledge, Signal Silence and
Reset Switches are accessible without a password).
3. Whenever any input point(s) goes into alarm:
A. All output signaling circuits activate and produce a steady, 24VDC output.
B. All output relays are activated.
C. The city-tie and common alarm relays activated.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Normal Quiescent
Condition (default) When the system is in the normal quiescent condition, the green "Power On" LED is
