Precau-L-2001-9.fm 8/31/2001
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 notifica-
tion 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.
The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detec-
tors be located throughout a protected premise following the
recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire
Protection Association Standard 72 (NFPA 72), manufacturer's
recommendations, State and local codes, and the recommen-
dations contained in the Guide for Proper Use of System
Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no charge to all
installing dealers. A study by the Federal Emergency Man-
agement Agency (an agency of the United States government)
indicated that smoke detectors may not go off in as many as
35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are designed to pro-
vide early warning against fire, they do not guarantee warning
or protection against fire. A fire alarm system may not provide
timely or adequate warning, or simply may not function, for a
variety of reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot
reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in or behind walls, on
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.
Particles of combustion or “smoke” from a developing fire
may not reach the sensing chambers of smoke detectors
because:
• Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, or
chimneys may inhibit particle or smoke flow.
• Smoke particles may become “cold,” stratify, and not reach
the ceiling or upper walls where detectors are located.
• Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by air
outlets.
• Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before
reaching the detector.
The amount of “smoke” present may be insufficient to alarm
smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are designed to alarm at
various levels of smoke density. If such density levels are not
created by a developing fire at the location of detectors, the
detectors will not go into alarm.
Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have sensing
limitations. Detectors that have photoelectronic sensing
chambers tend to detect smoldering fires better than flaming
fires, which have little visible smoke. Detectors that have ion-
izing-type sensing chambers tend to detect fast-flaming fires
better than smoldering fires. Because fires develop in different
ways and are often unpredictable in their growth, neither type
of detector is necessarily best and a given type of detector
may not provide adequate warning of a fire.
Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate
warning of fires caused by arson, children playing with
matches (especially in bedrooms), smoking in bed, and violent
explosions (caused by escaping gas, improper storage of
flammable materials, etc.).
Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and
alarm only when heat on their sensors increases at a predeter-
mined rate or reaches a predetermined level. 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 pro-
tection specialist. Heat detectors are designed to protect
property, not life.
IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in the
same room as the control panel and in rooms used by the sys-
tem for the connection of alarm transmission wiring, communi-
cations, signaling, and/or power. If detectors are not so
located, a developing fire may damage the alarm system, crip-
pling 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.
Any warning device may fail to alert people with a disability or
those who have recently consumed drugs, alcohol or medica-
tion. Please note that:
• Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures
in people with conditions such as epilepsy.
• Studies have shown that certain people, even when they
hear a fire alarm signal, do not respond or comprehend the
meaning of the signal. It is the property owner's responsi-
bility to conduct fire drills and other training exercise to
make people aware of fire alarm signals and instruct them
on the proper reaction to alarm signals.
• In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can
cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.
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 and only if the batteries have
been properly maintained and replaced regularly.
Equipment used in the system may not be technically com-
patible with the control. 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. For added protection against tele-
phone line failure, backup radio transmission systems are rec-
ommended.
The most common cause of fire alarm malfunction is inade-
quate maintenance. To keep the entire fire alarm system in
excellent working order, ongoing maintenance is required per
the manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA stan-
dards. At a minimum, the requirements of Chapter 7 of NFPA
72 shall be followed. Environments with large amounts of
dust, dirt or high air velocity require more frequent mainte-
nance. A maintenance agreement should be arranged
through the local manufacturer's representative. Maintenance
should be scheduled monthly or as required by National and/
or local fire codes and should be performed by authorized pro-
fessional fire alarm installers only. Adequate written records of
all inspections should be kept.
Fire Alarm System Limitations
While a fire alarm system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for fire insurance!

Precau-L-2001-9.fm 8/31/2001
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 associ-
ated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or insert-
ing 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 Chapter 7 after
any programming operation or change in site-specific soft-
ware. Reacceptance testing is required after any change,
addition or deletion of system components, or after any modifi-
cation, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring.
All components, circuits, system operations, or software func-
tions known to be affected by a change must be 100% tested.
In addition, to ensure that other operations are not inadvert-
ently 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 ver-
ified.
This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0-49°
C/32-120° F and at a relative humidity of 85% RH (non-con-
densing) at 30° C/86° F. However, the useful life of the sys-
tem's standby batteries and the electronic components may be
adversely affected by extreme temperature ranges and humid-
ity. Therefore, it is recommended that this system and all
peripherals be installed in an environment with a nominal room
temperature of 15-27° C/60-80° F.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indi-
cating 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 light-
ning-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 sus-
ceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Techni-
cal 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 modifi-
cations, verify that they will not interfere with battery, trans-
former, and printed circuit board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs.
Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced ter-
minal contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal
removal.
Though designed to last many years, system components
can fail at any time. 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 pro-
gramming manuals. These instructions must be followed to
avoid damage to the control panel and associated equipment.
FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper installation
by authorized personnel.

Selecting Group Functions
Operation of the various tones and messages available in a voice alarm application is dependent upon the type
and number of ROM chips installed and the functional groups selected by DIP switch settings on the AMG-1.
Group selection is accomplished by setting DIP switch positions 6, 7 and 8 on the AMG-1. See the AMG-1 Group
Function Tables (Tables 3-1 and 3-2).
Factory Messages *
With VROM-(n) chips installed, a factory-programmed message can be selected. For example, VROM-101
provides the following message in a male voice.
"MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE! MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE! THERE HAS BEEN A
FIRE REPORTED ON YOUR FLOOR. THERE HAS BEEN A FIRE REPORTED ON YOUR FLOOR. PLEASE
PROCEED TO THE STAIRWAYS AND EXIT THE BUILDING. DO NOT USE THE ELEVATORS."
Custom Messages * (with VRAM chips installed)
Custom user messages can be recorded either through the microphone on the AMG-1 or by downloading the
message from a standard audio cassette recorder through the low-level input connector on the AMG-1. DIP
switch positions 4 and 5 are used for this purpose.
1) Set the respective VRAM Enable switch "ON."
2) Record or download the message, up to 24 seconds.
3) Set the respective VRAM Enable switch "OFF."
* Note: If a digitally-stored voice message fails, the AMG-1 will automati-
cally switch to the primary evacuation tone, and will generate a trouble condition.
Selecting ALL CALL
Pressing the ALL CALL switch will activate all speaker circuits programmed with software type "SPKR." In dual-
channel systems, the signal generated by the particular AMG-1 on which the ALL CALL button has been pressed
will immediately go out across both channels.
AM2020 AMG Programming
During programming of the AM2020/AFP1010 (and after the installation of any AMG-1s), each AMG-1 must be
programmed as if they were annunciators. The address is set on the AMG-1 (25-32) and must correspond to
the programmed annunciator address. Note: All speaker circuits must be programmed with software type "SPKR." When
an FFT-7 is used, it must be attached to an AMG at Address 32.
Setting the Address
Use the table below to set the desired address on the AMG-1. To set a switch "ON," push the rocker down in
the ON position. When only one AMG is present, use Address 32.
Configuration DIP Switches
The AMG-1's configuration DIP switches are defined at right.

AMG-1 and the ACM-16AT
Set the address of the AMG-1 Audio Message Generator via DIP switches 2 and 3. This address can only be
set for 29-32 for a standard AMG-1 or 25-28 for an AMG-1 with an AMG-X4 EPROM installed. The highest
possible address setting is recommended. This allows the AMG-1 functions to assume the first four points on
an ACM-16AT set to address "1." Up to eight AMG-1s may be installed in an AM2020/AFP1010 system.
For AMG-1s set in the address range 25-28 (AMG-X4 EPROM required):

Note 1:
Using the supplied cable, connect the "EARTH" ground terminal of each ACT-1 to terminal P8-10 on the AA-100/AA-100E or AA- 120/AA-120E or to a screw on the upper left corner of the AA-30/AA-30E. The "COM" terminal is intended for optional shielding of the secondary side of the ACT-1 (the low level audio from the ACT-1 through each of the amplifiers). If this shield is desired, connect to the common of the local power supply (do not, at any point connect the shield from the primary side of the ACT-1).
Note 2:
The secondary side of the ACT-1 (low-level audio) may be daisy chained to a maximum of eight audio amplifiers.
Note 3:
Additional low-level audio risers, isolated from the main riser, may be drawn from this point.
Note 4:
3 This symbol denotes a local common, in this case for supply number three.
Note 5:
A maximum of seven ACT-1 Audio Coupling Transformers may be connected to the AMG or VTG (primary side). The number of amplifiers connected to the primary side of the ACT-1 (AMG/VTG output) must be reduced by eight for each ACT-1 connected, regardless of the number of amplifiers connected to the secondary side of each ACT-1
