SAFETY SUMMARY
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 this 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 intercon-
necting 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 - 1996 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 to 49° C and at a relative humidity of 85% RH (non-condensing) @ 30°C.
However, the useful life of the system’s standby batteries and the electronic components may be adversely affected by extreme tempera-
ture ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that this system and its peripherals be installed in an environment with a nominal
room temperature of 60-80°F.
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 interference, proper grounding will reduce suscepti-
bility. The use of overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended due to the increased susceptibility to nearby lightning
strikes. Consult with the Applications Engineering 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. Before making modifications, verify that they will not interfere with battery and printed circuit board location.
Do not over tighten screw terminals, over tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact pressure and difficult
with screw terminal removal.
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. PEGAsys operation and reliability depend upon proper installation.
Fire Alarm System Limitations While installing a fire alarm system may make lower insurance
rates possible, 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.
Any fire alarm system may fail for a variety of reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in walls, or 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. Furthermore, all types of smoke detectors - both ionization and photoelectric types, have
sensing limitations. No type of smoke detector can sense every kind of fire caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in
bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with
matches, or arson.
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.
A fire alarm system will not operate without electrical power. If AC power fails, the system will operate from standby batteries only for a
specified time.
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.

Auxiliary 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.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premise to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily
disabled.
The most common cause of fire alarm malfunctions, however, is inadequate maintenance. All devices and system wiring should be
tested and maintained by professional fire alarm installers following written procedures supplied with each device. System inspection
and testing should be scheduled monthly or as required by National and/or local fire codes. Adequate written records of all inspections
should be kept.

GENERALINFORMATION
1-1 INTRODUCTION
This manual contains the operation, maintenance, troubleshoot-
ing, parts listing, and installation information necessary to sup-
port the PEGAsys Intelligent Suppression Control and Fire Alarm
System.
NOTE: This manual is to be used by trained distributors only.
The entire manual should be read and fully understood
prior to installation.
1-1.1 System Description
PEGAsys is a fire alarm/suppression control system which can
be used for local, auxiliary, remote protective signaling and re-
leasing device service. The system is a microprocessor based
design for use with intelligent detectors and loop devices.
The system utilizes distributed intelligent field devices. These
devices are typically smoke detectors, contact input devices
relay outputs and signal output modules which represent a single
fire alarm initiation/indicating zone. Each device contains its own
data transceiver, micro controller, 4k of memory and applicable
algorithms which allows each device to operate independent of
the control system. These unique devices have the ability to
analyze information, make decisions and store information within
themselves. They communicate with the PEGAsys system us-
ing the BIP protocol which utilizes a two-wire (Style 4), four wire
(Style 6) or isolated (Style 7) multiplex trunk. The PEGAsys can
support up to 255 device addresses per loop with a maximum
of 8 loops for a total of 2040 Intelligent device points per sys-
tem.
The PEGAsys is capable of controlling a wide variety of auxil-
iary devices, such as relays, audible visual indicating signal
devices and agent/sprinkler release systems. The system also
supports the use of serial printers which provide hard copy of
system status information.
1-1.2 System Components
The system is comprised of three major components as shown
in Figure 1-1: the Central Control Panel (CCP) communicates
with the field devices and drives output devices such as alarm
signals that communicate with central stations and various types
of control equipment. A display panel located on the CCP pro-
vides system status LED’s, Control Switches and a 80-charac-
ter LCD for alphanumeric display of system status information.
The single-loop PEGAsys Central Control Panel (P/N 76-
100000-501) consists of the Central Control Module (CCM) as-
sembly, one receiver/transmitter (RX/TX) module and one power
supply assembly. Optionally the system can add a motherboard
assembly which allow the installation of optional output mod-
ules. An auxiliary power supply module can be added which
increases the base system power supply capacity to 8.0 amps
at 24 VDC.
In multi-loop form the PEGAsys ML panel (P/N 76-100000-600)
consists of a CCM, one power-supply assembly, one RX/TX mod-
ule and one multi-loop motherboard mounted in the enclosure.
The unique multi-loop motherboard provides the ability to connect
up to eight RX/TX modules to the system allowing a full 2040 ad-
dressable points to be connected to the PEGAsys ML system.
Auxiliary enclosures are available to allow the system to be ex-
panded. The auxiliary enclosure has the same dimensions as that
of the main enclosure with the absence of the window in the door.
There are optional back planes which install in the expansion en-
closure. This allows the number of I/O modules and system power
supplies to be expanded. To allow for maximum system flexibility
expansion enclosure(s) and backplane(s) can be added to the
system. Refer to Appendix B for further system expansion de-
tails.
1-2 COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The following paragraphs give a brief description of each com-
ponents used in the PEGAsys system. For functional descrip-
tions of each component see Chapter 3 of this manual.
1-2.1 Central Control Module (CCM)
The CCM assembly is the heart of the system and is comprised
of two PCB assemblies, the display module and the main pro-
cessor module. The CCM controls the operation and supervi-
sion of all the system modules and software within the PEGAsys
system. It receives loop device data from the RX/TX module,
processes the data based on pre-programmed instructions and
transmits output commands to the output modules, field devices,
and display module(s).
1-2.2 Display Module
The display module assembly, attached to the main processor
PCB, provides the system with the operator interface for control
switches, system status LED’s, system trouble/alarm buzzer, a
80-character (2 x 40) LCD display and an integral numeric key-
pad. The keypad is used for entering the security password and
navigating through the user menus. The system buzzer pro-
vides two distinctly different signaling patterns for audible warn-
ing of system alarms and troubles.

1-2.3 Receiver/Transmitter Module (RX/TX)
The RX/TX functions as the hardware & software interface be-
tween the field devices and the CCM. The RX/TX receives con-
trol requests from the CCM and establishes communications
with the field devices. The RX/TX receives status changes from
the field devices and reports these changes to the CCM. The
RX/TX shown in Figure 1-4 is capable of communicating with
up to 255 intelligent devices and complies with the wiring re-
quirements of NFPA Style 4, 6 & 7 (with the use of the loop
isolator device). Style 4 initiation circuit wiring will permit “T”
tapping, or branch circuitry.
1-2.4 Power Supply/Charger Assembly
The power supply/charger assembly (P/N 76-100009-010) is
comprised of a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly and a AC/
DC switching power supply unit. The switching power supply
unit provides 4 amps of 24 VDC from the 120/240 VAC input
power. The PCB assembly is a microprocessor based unit which
provides the system with:
• Battery charging and supervision
• AC power supervision
• 24 VDC supervision
• Battery load test
• 24 VDC ground fault detection (+/-)
• Auxiliary 24 VDC outputs

1-2.7 Input/Output Modules
The optional input/output modules allow the PEGAsys system
to interface with external auxiliary devices. These auxiliary de-
vices can be audible/visual signal devices, HVAC systems, el-
evator recall, power shut down, remote annunciators, agent/
sprinkler release system and any other control type input or
output which may need to be interfaced to the system.
The input and output modules plug into the motherboard as-
sembly located on the back plate of the system enclosure. Each
I/O module occupies one slot in the motherboard assembly which
has 8 slots available. The I/O modules and the CCM communi-
cate over the RS-485 based I/O bus, which uses a 6-conductor
phone type cable to connect the CCM to the motherboard.
The PEGAsys single-loop panel has the ability to support a
maximum of 16 I/O modules, in any combination. However, no
more than 8 of any one type of module can be used. If using a
City-Tie module, the limit is one per system.
