Fire Alarm & Emergency Communication System Limitations
While a life safety system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for life and property 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 panel (FACP) with remote notifi-
cation 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.
An emergency communication system—typically made up of
an automatic fire alarm system (as described above) and a life
safety communication system that may include an autonomous
control unit (ACU), local operating console (LOC), voice commu-
nication, and other various inter-operable communication meth-
ods—can broadcast a mass notification message. Such a system,
however, does not assure protection against property damage or
loss of life resulting from a fire or life safety event.
The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detectors
be located throughout a protected premises 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
recommendations contained in the Guide for Proper Use of
System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no charge
to all installing dealers. This document can be found at http://
www.systemsensor.com/appguides/. A study by the Federal
Emergency Management 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
provide 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, chim-
neys, even wet or humid areas may inhibit particle or smoke
flow.
• Smoke particles may become “cold,” stratify, and notreach the
ceiling or upper walls where detectors are located.
• Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by air out-
lets, such as air conditioning vents.
• 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 vari-
ous 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 lim-
itations. Detectors that have photoelectronic sensing chambers
tend to detect smoldering fires better than flaming fires, which
have little visible smoke. Detectors that have ionizing-type sens-
ing chambers tend to detect fast-flaming fires better than smolder-
ing fires. Because fires develop in different ways and are often
unpredictable in their growth, neither type of detector is necessar-
ily best and a given type of detector may not provide adequate
warning of a fire.
Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate warn-
ing of fires caused by arson, children playing with matches (espe-
cially in bedrooms), smoking in bed, and violent explosions
(caused by escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materi-
als, etc.).
Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and alarm
only when heat on their sensors increases at a predetermined
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 protection specialist. Heat detec-
tors 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 system for
the connection of alarm transmission wiring, communications, sig-
naling, and/or power. If detectors are not so located, a developing
fire may damage the alarm system, compromising its ability to
report a fire.
Audible warning devices such as bells, horns, strobes,
speakers and displays 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 con-
sumed drugs, alcohol, or medication. Please note that:
• An emergency communication system may take priority over a
fire alarm system in the event of a life safety emergency.
• Voice messaging systems must be designed to meet intelligi-
bility requirements as defined by NFPA, local codes, and
Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
• Language and instructional requirements must be clearly dis-
seminated on any local displays.
• 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 to or comprehend the
meaning of the signal. Audible devices, such as horns and
bells, can have different tonal patterns and frequencies. It is
the property owner's responsibility to conduct fire drills and
other training exercises to make people aware of fire alarm
signals and instruct them on the proper reaction to alarm sig-
nals.
• In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can cause
temporary or permanent hearing loss.
A life safety 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 prop-
erly maintained and replaced regularly.
Equipment used in the system may not be technically compati-
ble 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 prem-
ises to a central monitoring station may be out of service or tem-
porarily disabled. For added protection against telephone line
failure, backup radio transmission systems are recommended.
The most common cause of life safety system malfunction is
inadequate maintenance. To keep the entire life safety system in
excellent working order, ongoing maintenance is required per the
manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA standards.
At a minimum, the requirements of NFPA 72 shall be followed.
Environments with large amounts of dust, dirt, or high air velocity
require more frequent maintenance. A maintenance agreement
should be arranged through the local manufacturer's representa-
tive. Maintenance should be scheduled monthly or as required by
National and/or local fire codes and should be performed by
authorized professional life safety system installers only. Ade-
quate written records of all inspections should be kept. Limit-D-1-2013

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 andassociated
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 manuals are read and understood.
CAUTION - System Re-acceptance Test after Software
Changes: To ensure proper system operation, this product
must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 after any pro-
gramming operation or change in site-specific software. Re-
acceptance 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 compo-
nents, 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 0-49º
C/32-120º F and at a relative humidity. However, the useful
life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic com-
ponents 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 normal room temperature of 15-27º C/60-80º 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 interference, 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, or 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 followedto
avoid damage to the control panel and associated equipment.
FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper installa-
tion.

Electrical Safety Advisory:
Parties responsible for equipment requiring AC power should consider including an advisory notice in their
customer information suggesting the customer use a surge arrestor. Telephone companies report that electrical
surges, typically lightning transients, are very destructive to customer terminal equipment connected to AC
power sources. This has been identified as a major nationwide problem.

3.4 Wiring Specifications
Induced noise (transfer of electrical energy from one wire to another) can interfere with telephone
communication or cause false alarms. To avoid induced noise, follow these guidelines:
• Isolate input wiring from high current output and power wiring. Do not pull one multi-conductor cable for
the entire panel. Instead, separate the wiring as follows:
• Do not pull wires from different groups through the same conduit. If you must run them together, do so for
as short a distance as possible or use shielded cable. Connect the shield to earth ground at the panel. You
must route high and low voltages separately.
• Route the wiring around the inside perimeter of the cabinet. It should not cross the circuit board where it
could induce noise into the sensitive microelectronics or pick up unwanted RF noise from the high speed
circuits. See Figure 3-1 for an example.
• High frequency noise, such as that produced by the inductive reactance of a speaker or bell, can also be
reduced by running the wire through ferrite shield beads or by wrapping it around a ferrite toroid.
