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 72-1993 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 0-49OC/
32-120OF and at a relative humidity of 85% RH (non-condensing) at
30OC/86OF. However, the useful life of the system's standby batteries
and the electronic components may be adversely affected by extreme
temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that
this system and its peripherals be installed in an environment with a
nominal room temperature of 15-27OC/60-80OF.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating device loops.
Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% I.R. drop from the
specified device voltage.
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.
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 operation and
reliability depend upon proper installation.
Fire Alarm System Limitations
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 supplies 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.
FCC Warning

The Autoprogram option automatically selects default system functions during initial
programming of the control panel. You can change the default system functions. If you
change any system default, then Autoprogram the control panel, any new system values
that you enter do not change. For example, if you change a Program Change password,
install new devices, and run the Autoprogram option, the new Program Change
password remains.
Table 8 contains a list of the default system functions and values:
