(smokedetectors,etc.)andnotificationdevices(horn,lights,etc.)connectedtoit.Electricalratingsofthe
initiationandnotificationappliancesmustbecompatiblewiththeelectricalratingsofthecontrolpanel
andmustbeproperlyinterconnected.Thewiringusedforinterconnectionmustbelargeenoughtocarry
thetotalcurrentforallapplianceswithoutexcessivevoltagedrop.PleaserefertoAppendix‐B:Wire
SelectionGuidefordetail.
Thecontrolpanelmustbeconnectedtoadedicatedprimaryelectricalsourcethathasahighdegreeof
reliabilityandadequatecapacityforthiscontrolpanel.Themeansofdisconnectingthispowersourceshallbe

otherwiserequiredbylocalcodesandtheAHJmustalsobeconnectedtothecontrolpanel.Thesebatteriesdo

standbyandalarmpowerorafter4years,whicheverhappensfirst.Thesebatteriesmustbecheckedfor
performanceatleasttwiceayearormoreoften,iflocalrequirementsdictate.
Eventhoughthiscontrolpanelwasmadetolastfortheexpectedlifeofthefirealarmsystem,partscanfailat
anytime.Therefore,aregulartestprogramshouldbefollowedanddocumentedtomakesureeachpartofthe
systemistested,asindicatedinChapter7ofNFPA72,andCAN/ULC‐S536,ormoreoftenifdictatedbylocal
coderequirements.Malfunctioningunitsmustbereplacedorrepairedimmediatelybyfactoryauthorized


Thiscontrolpanelisdesignedtoshowanalarmconditionwhentheinitiatingdevicesconnectedtoit
detectsspecificconditions.Theseconditionsmayormaynotrepresentalife‐threateningcondition.
Unneededevacuationofabuildingoranareamaysubjectindividualstoanunnecessaryhazard.
Therefore,itisimportantthatthebuildingowner,manager,orrepresentativepromulgate,distribute,
and/orpostinstructionsdescribingstepstobetakenwhenthefirealarmcontrolpanelsignalsan
