Fire Alarm System Limitations
While a fire alarm system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for fire
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 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 detectors 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 installation and operation
manual of the detectors, which is made available at no charge to all installing dealers. 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, 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 photoelectric sensing chambers 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.

GST-M200 Intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel
Installation and Operation Manual
Page 2
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 detectors 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 developing 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 meaning 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 compatible with the control panel. It
is essential to use only equipment listed for service with your control panel.
The most common cause of fire alarm malfunction is inadequate 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 standards. At a minimum,
the requirements of Chapter 10 of NFPA 72 shall be followed. 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 performed by authorized professional fire alarm
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 associated
equipment 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 software. Reacceptance
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 components,
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 0-49°C/32-120°F and at 93% RH
(non condensing), and applies to be installed in the dry indoor environment.
Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may operate erratically or can be
damaged when subjected to lightning-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 susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Technical Services
Department if any problems are anticipated or encountered.
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
modifications, verify that they will not interfere with battery, transformer, 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 removed 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 (Fire Alarm Control Panel) operation and reliability depend upon proper
installation by authorized personnel.

Connect a wire from the grounding stud in the cabinet to a known solid earth ground in the
building. Refer to Fig. 2-1 for location of the stud. This connection is vital for maintaining
the control panel’s immunity to unwanted transients generated by lightning and
electrostatic discharge. Apply AC power to the panel only after the system is completely
installed and visually checked.
2.2.2 Battery Power
Before connecting the batteries to the FACP, make certain that the interconnect cable
between the batteries is not connected. Do not connect the interconnect cable until the
system is completely installed. Observe polarity when connecting the batteries.
WARNING: Battery contains sulfuric acid, which can cause severe burns to
the skin and eyes and can destroy fabrics. If contact is made with sulfuric
acid, immediately flush the skin or eyes with water for 15 minutes and seek
immediate medical attention.
