Honeywell NOTIFIER XP6-MA User manual

BEFORE INSTALLING
If the modules will be installed in an existing operational system, inform the
operator and local authority that the system will be temporarily out of service.
Disconnect the power to the control panel before installing the modules. 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. The module housing should also be grounded.
NOTICE: This manual should be left with the owner/user of this equipment.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XP6-MA Six Zone Interface Module is intended for use in an intelligent
alarm system. Each module provides an interface between the intelligent
alarm system and a conventional alarm system loop. A common SLC input is
used for all modules, and the initiating device loops share a common super-
visory supply and ground. Otherwise, each monitor operates independently
from the others. Each module has its own unique address.
A pair of rotary code switches is used to set the address of the first module
from 01 to 154. The remaining modules are automatically assigned to the next
five higher addresses. Provisions are included for disabling a maximum of two
unused modules to release the addresses to be used elsewhere. Each mod-
ule also has panel controlled bicolor LED indicators. The panel can cause the
LEDs to blink, latch on, or latch off.
A list of compatible two-wire System Sensor Smoke detectors for use with the
XP6-MA is available on the System Sensor website at www.systemsensor.com.

COMPONENTS
Following are descriptions of the XP6-MA mounting frameworks. There are
two mounting options for XP6-MA modules:
• Up to six XP6-MA modules can be installed on a CHS-6 in a CAB-3
Series, CAB-4 Series or BB-25 cabinet
• One or two XP6-MA modules can be installed in a BB-XP cabinet
Chassis
The CHS-6 chassis is used to mount XP6-MA modules in a BB-25, CAB-3 or
CAB-4 Series cabinet. It accommodates up to six XP6-MA modules in a single
cabinet row three modules wide and two modules deep.

The steps in Figures 6A – 6C describe and illustrate module installation when
the rear chassis position and the position in front of it will be filled. Front
position installation is possible only if the rear position is filled with an XP
module.

Step 3: Carefully swing the upper edge of the board back towards the back of
the chassis until it touches the two standoffs on the board.
Step 4: Align two 4-40 screws with the two standoffs on the chassis and
tighten.
Step 5: Address and wire the modules according to the instructions in this
manual.

Step 1: Insert the bottom edge of the XP6-MA module down into a front slot
of the chassis.
Step 2: Carefully swing the upper edge of the board towards the back of the
chassis until it touches the 1.25" (32 mm) standoffs installed on the
rear module.
Step 3: Align two 4-40 screws with the two standoffs and tighten.
Step 4: Address and wire the modules according to the instructions in this
manual.
WIRING
NOTE: All wiring must conform to applicable local codes, ordinances, and
regulations.
1. Install module wiring in accordance with the job drawings and appropri-
ate wiring diagrams.
2. All wiring to the XP6-MA is done via terminal blocks. In order to prop-
erly make electrical connections strip approximately 0.25˝ of insulation
The front XP6-MA module positions of each chassis are offset below the rear
XP6-MA module positions so that all of the status indicators are visible.
Cabinets
A BB-25, CAB-3 or CAB-4 Series cabinet will house the CHS-6 chassis with up
to six XP6-MA modules installed on it. Refer to cabinet installation documents
for dimensions.
The BB-XP cabinet houses one or two XP6-MA modules on the internal chas-
sis that is part of the cabinet. Refer to cabinet installation documents for
dimensions.
INSTALLATION STEPS
1. Cabinet Mounting
In a clean, dry area, mount the backbox using the four holes provided in
the back surface of the cabinet (Figure 3).
2. Chassis Installation
The CHS-6 chassis is mounted in the BB-25, CAB-3 or CAB-4 Series cabi-
net. It is shipped with two self-threading screws, which are used to fas-
ten the chassis to the back wall of the cabinet (Figure 4).

The BB-XP cabinet comes with the chassis already installed, so no mounting
is necessary.
3. Module Installation
There are two methods for installing a module in the rear position of a chas-
sis. Method one is for installation of a rear module only, when no module will
be installed in front of it. Refer to Figure 5 for instructions. Method two is for
installation of a rear module when another module will be installed in the
chassis position in front of it. Refer to Figures 6a and 6b for method two. All
necessary screws and standoffs are supplied with the modules.

chassis.
Step 2: Carefully swing the upper edge of the board back towards the back of
the chassis until it touches the two standoffs.
Step 3: Align two 4-40 screws with the two standoffs and tighten.
Step 4: Address and wire the modules according to the instructions in this
manual.

NOTE: Power must not be applied to the unit when changing functionality on
the shunts.
WIRING NOTES
• Power-limited circuits must employ type FPL, FPLR, or FPLP cable as
required by Article 760 of the NEC.
• All wiring must be in accordance with the NEC, NFPA 72 and all other
applicable codes and standards. All external power supplies must be
power limited with battery back-up. All external power supplies and
detectors must be UL listed for fire protection signaling applications.
PROGRAMMING
Connect the module to listed-compatible control panels only. Refer to panel
installation documentation to confirm compatibility.
The modules are programmed as devices in each system according to the pro-
gramming instructions in the appropriate FACP manual.

from the end of wire, sliding the bare end of the wire under the clamping
plate screw.
3. Set the address on the modules per the job drawing. Use the rotary code
switches to set the address of the first module (between 01 and 154).
In Class B operation, the remaining modules are automatically assigned to the
next five higher addresses. For example, if the base address switch is set to 28,
the next five modules will be addressed to 29, 30, 31, 32 and 33.
The module is shipped in Class B position, remove shunts for Class A. When
operating in Class A, alternate modules are paired together (+0/+1, +2/+3,
+4/+5), resulting in a total of three modules. For example, if the base ad-
dress switch is set to 28, then 30 and 32 will be automatically assigned to the
modules while 29, 31 and 33 are available to be used for other modules on the
SLC. For Class A and B operation, DO NOT set the lowest address above 154,
as the other modules will be assigned to nonexistent addresses.
NOTE: The XP6-MA must have power cycled for shunt changes to take effect.
NOTE: Some panels support extended addressing. In order to set the module
above address 99 on compatible systems, carefully remove the stop on the
upper rotary switch (see Figure 7). If the panel does not support extended ad-
dressing, do not set the lowest address above 94.
4. A shunt is provided to disable a maximum of two unused modules in
Class B operation and Class A operation. Modules are disabled from the
highest address and work downward. If two modules are disabled, the
lowest four addresses will be functional, while the highest two will be
disabled. For example, in Class B operation, if the shunt for Address Dis-
able is placed on “two” and the base switch is set to 28, the modules will
be assigned to 28, 29, 30 and 31 while disabling the highest two positions.
NOTE: Place unused shunts on single pin to store on board for future use.
