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 tem-
porarily 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 be-
fore handling any circuits so that static charges are removed from the
body. The module housing should also be grounded.
NOTICE: This manual should be left with the owner/user
of this equipment.

tween the intelligent alarm system and a conventional alarm sys-
tem loop. A common SLC input is used for all modules, and the
initiating device loops share a common supervisory 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 module also has panel con-
trolled bicolor LED indicators. The panel can cause the LEDs to
blink, latch on, or latch off.

I56-1806-006

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 chassis that is part of the cabinet. Refer to cabinet instal-
lation 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 cabinet. It is shipped with two self-threading screws,
which are used to fasten the chassis to the back wall of the
cabinet (Figure 4).

C0236-00
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 chassis. 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.

COMPATIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
To ensure proper operation, this module shall be connected to a com-
patible Notifier system control panel (list available from Notifier).
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.
Figure 1. CHS-6 Chassis:
C0206-00
The BB-XP cabinet has a built-in chassis that will accommodate
one or two XP6-MA modules.

1/4˝ of insulation 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 (be-
tween 01 and 154).
In Class B operation, the remaining modules
are automatically assigned to the next five
higher addresses. For example, if the base ad-
dress 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 address 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 addressing, 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 opera-
tion, if the shunt for Address Disable 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.
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 ex-
ternal power supplies and detectors must be UL listed for fire
protection signaling applications.
PROGRAMMING
The XP6-MA module operates with the following Fire Alarm
Control Panels:
• AM2020/AFP1010 • System 5000 with AIM-200
• AFP-200 • AFC-600
• AFP-300/AFP-400 • NFS-640 (ONYX™ Series System)
• NFS-3030
The modules are programmed as devices in each system according
to the programming instructions in the appropriate FACP manual.

Step 1: Insert the bottom of the XP6-MA module down into a
rear slot on the 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 instruc-
tions in this manual.
The steps in Figures 6a and 6b describe and illustrate module in-
stallation 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.
