1 Introduction
Telefire's new generation conventional Control and Indicating Equipment (CIE, also
termed Fire Alarm Control Panel, FACP, or Fire Detection and Alarm System, FDAS)
narrows the gap between analog and conventional systems. Drawing on over three
decades' of experience in designing and manufacturing fire alarm Control and Indicating
Equipment (CIE), the state of the art TSA-200 / TSA-200XT / TSA-240 / TSA-240XT
Conventional Two- and Four-Zone Fire Alarm Control and Indicating Equipment (CIE) is
certified to EN 54-2 and EN 54-4; is CE marked, is certified to GOST 53325-2009 and
complies with UL 864 Edition 9.
The TSA-200 product family is ideally suited for new and retrofit applications. The base
Control and Indicating Equipment (CIE, or Control Panel, CP) supports two or four
zones, a horn output, an Alarm dialer output, a Fault Dialer Output and two relays. The
system supports maintenance alert and drift compensation for detectors (dependant on
using Telefire detectors), a function that required, until now, analog addressable panels.
Walk test mode allows for detector testing by only one technician, whilst discriminating
between triggers caused by the "test" process and actual alarms.
The system supports alarm dependency on more than one alarm signal (an alarm
verification feature, or AVF-Alarm Verification Function) to increase system reliability and
reduce nuisance alarms.
The TSA-200 can be converted into the TSA-200XT, a Fire Alarm and Extinguishing
control panel, by adding the EM1 Extinguishing Expansion Module.
The display logic of the TSA-200/TSA-200XT is that of UL,
(i.e. events cause LEDs to flash until the events are acknowledged)
making the TSA-200/TSA-200XT human interface UL864 compliant, as well as EN 54-2
and EN 54-4 certified.
The (original) EM1 card has two level activation outputs, using bipolar transistors.
The EM1 Rev. 1.1 is modified so output 3 is change polarity, and output 4 is Level
Activation. Both outputs use FETs.
i
Note
If an EN 12094-1 certified CDE (Electrical Automatic Control and Delay
Equipment) is required, please consult Telefire Fire and Gas Detectors Ltd.
regarding the TSA-200X, TSA-1000X and other products.

3 Important Notes
A detailed explanation of the operation of the ECD is provided later. The information in
the current chapter is provided to highlight certain issues.
3.1 Triggering Requirements
The EN 12094-1 standard (par. 4.4), requires that an ECD has to enter the extinguishing
process when triggered from a single source (zone) or from a Manual Release
Triggering Device.
Some countries require triggering from two independent transmission paths for entering
the extinguishing process.
Although the TSA-200XT and TSA-240XT are EN-54-2 compliant (and not EN-12094-1
compliant), this EN-12094 requirement is complied with in the TSA-200XT / TSA-240XT,
and is referred to in this manual as "Two Zones Coincidence".
3.2 Single Zone Activation
The TSA-200XT / TSA-240XT can be programmed to enter the extinguishing state (or
extinguishing delay, if delay is programmed) when Alarm is triggered FROM ONE
DETECTORS ZONE ONLY, where the (single) activation zone is selected by
programming.
NOTE! The default configuration of the TSA-200XT / TSA-240XT is activation on two
zones coincidence of zone 1 AND zone 2.
3.3 Two Zones Coincidence
Two zones coincidence, a mandatory requirement in some European countries, is
explained below.
When the ECD is configured for two zones coincidence, a trigger from one of the zones
which are members of the "extinguishing decision group" will change the state of the
ECD to "Fire Alarm". Trigger from a second zone, which is a member of the
"extinguishing decision group", will cause the ECD to enter the "Activated" state. If a
Non-Zero Delay is programmed, the ECD will enter the "Pre Discharge Warning Time". If
the programmed Delay is zero, or if the warning time (delay) expires, the extinguisher is
triggered immediately.
NOTE! The default configuration of the TSA-200XT / TSA-240XT is activation on two
zones coincidence of zone 1 AND zone 2.
i
Note
If zones, which are not members of the extinguishing decision group, receive
an Alarm signal, the ECD changes its state to "Fire Alarm", BUT DOES NOT
ENTER THE ACTIVATED states, and the extinguisher is NOT triggered even
if two such zones are triggered and are in the "Alarm" state.
3.4 Dependency on More Than One Alarm Signal
The TSA-200/TSA-200XT/TSA-240/TSA-240XT supports the "Dependency on more
than one alarm signal" function, also termed "Alarm Verification Function" (AVF), as
detailed in EN-54-2, para. 7.12.
The alarm Delay and Confirmation (verification) feature allows the control panel to ignore
false, short and transient alarm events, which may cause a nuisance.

TSA-200 / TSA-200XT / TSA-240 / TSA-240XT
© 2010 – 2014 Telefire Fire & Gas Detectors Ltd Revision 1.06 July 2014
– Page 4 of 53 –
This feature is based on an Alarm Delay Period, and an Alarm Confirmation Period.
The alarm delay can be programmed, PER ZONE, to OFF (No Delay, No Alarm
Verification) or to ON. (Each zone can be programmed independently)
If the zone Alarm Delay is programmed ON, there is a 30 seconds alarm Delay (i.e.
during the delay alarms are ignored), followed by a 120 seconds confirmation period
When a zone programmed for alarm verification is first triggered, the control panel resets
the zone in alarm, waits for 30 seconds (if Delay is ON) and enters a 120 seconds (2
minutes) confirmation period. During the 30 seconds delay period, alarms are ignored.
During the 120 seconds confirmation period, the control panel enters the alarm state
immediately if a trigger from the same zone or from another zone is received, even if the
other zone is programmed for alarm delay and confirmation).
If, during the alarm confirmation period, no alarm is received, the ECD reestablishes the
quiescent condition.
Each detectors zone can be independently programmed for Alarm Delay and
Confirmation, (Alarm Verification).
The dependencies supported, as per EN 54-2, paragraph 7.12 are type A or type B,
depending on the configuration of the TSA-200 / TSA-200XT / TSA-240 / TSA-240XT.
3.5 Note Regarding Default Configuration
i
Note
By default, the TSA-200XT and TSA-240XT are programmed for Two Zones
Coincidence, and NO Alarm Delay (No Alarm Verification).
To modify these (and additional) settings, the TSA-200XT / TSA-240XT must
be programmed accordingly.
3.6 Number of Detectors
EN 54-2, Annex C, specifies a limit of 32 detectors per zone, which is the limit of each
zone of the TSA-200, TSA-200XT; hence the TSA-200 / TSA-200XT are limited to 64
detectors, in a two zones configuration.
EN 54-2, Annex C, specifies a limit of 32 detectors per zone, which is the limit of each
zone of the TSA-240, TSA-240XT; hence the TSA-240 / TSA-240XT are limited to 128
detectors, in a four zones configuration.
3.7 TSA-200, TSA-200XT EN Certification
The TSA-200 is a Control and Indicating Equipment (CIE), also termed (FDAS, Fire
Detection and Alarm System). It also referred to as a Fire Alarm Control Panel. It
can be converted to an extinguishing control panel, the TSA-200XT, by installing the
EM1 Extinguishing Expansion Module
Both models are certified to EN 54-2 and EN 54-4, and are CE marked.
3.8 UL 864 compatibility
The Display Logic of the TSA-200 product family is that of UL 864, edition 9, where
some events, i.e. Alarm and Fault (System generated events) are displayed by flashing
indicators, changing indication to ON (steady) when acknowledged. This is explained
later.

3.9 Suitability of use in various environments
3.9.1 Environmental Limits and Protection Level
The TSA-200 product family environmental limits are specified in EN-54-02:1998
paragraph 12.
The TSA-200Product family is specified for -5°C to +40°C temperature range, RH max
95%, and IP30 protection level.
i
Note
See Routing cables into the ECD and maintaining the protection level
page 25, for information about maintaining the protection level.
i
Note
Do not operate the ECD outside the specified limits.
3.9.2 Suitable Environment
The TSA-200 product family environmental limits are stated above. It is to be installed in
an indoors location, well ventilated location, protected from the elements.
Avoid locating the CP in direct sunlight or near sources of heat.
It is recommended to install the CP in an electrically quiet location (i.e. away from high
power cables, motors, etc).
3.10 Limiting the Consequences of Faults
See Power Supply, Charger and Batteries, page 22, for explanation of PS/Charger
limiting/protection devices.
The Main Board, which contains the charge control circuitry and the battery protective
resettable PTC, also has a common electronic limiter for most output ports (It does not
protect the contacts of relays!), which are monitored by the CPU
If there is an overload on an output (or outputs), the common limiter shuts off, the buzzer
sounds and the visual fault indication and the Fault relay are switches ON. The CPU
switches OFF all the controlled outputs. It then switches ON the separate outputs in
sequence, until the faulty output is isolated. All "good" outputs are then switched ON,
except for the faulty outputs.
The controlled outputs (i.e. all outputs except relays' contacts or OC outputs) are
continuously monitored.
Recovery from faults is detected by the CPU and all relevant recovered outputs are
reactivated, if necessary.
Open Collector outputs are current limited by design, by series connected high value
resistors.
NOTE! The control panel shall be powered by a dedicated mains circuit with its own
circuit breaker.

The following information supplements and highlights manufacturer’s information.
WHEN HANDLING BATTERIES, OBSERVE THE BATTERIES' MANUFACTURER’S
RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING HANDLING, CLOTHING AND PROTECTIVE
GEAR.
For the TSA-200 product family, use two 12V 5 AH sealed Lead Acid batteries, such as
Yuasa NP5-12 or equivalent, connected in series.
Use the supplied wires to connect to the CP to the batteries, and to connect the two
batteries in series.
Since the batteries used are maintenance free, and the ECD automatically controls the
battery charging, discharge and test, NO SPECIAL maintenance is required.
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
Connect the battery to the ECD main board battery terminal block using the supplied
wires. Observe polarity.
Place and connect batteries in the Control Panel, only after the Control Panel is properly
installed and is in the correct (upright) position.
Place batteries so they are adjacent to the back of the Control Panel enclosure, as
shown in the appropriate drawings in the TM.
Place protective covers on batteries' terminals when the battery wires are disconnected
from the battery.
Remove batteries (after assembling protective terminals covers) from the CP before
moving or shifting the Control Panel.
Keep the area near the batteries' terminals free of foreign objects, metals, or bare wire to
avoid shorting the batteries.
Keep the batteries clean and dry
Keep the area well ventilated
Smoking, fire or sparks ARE NOT ALLOWED near batteries.
When working on batteries, DISCONNECT THE BATTERIES AND ALL OTHER
POWER SOURCES
i
Note
If batteries show any signs of swelling, rupture, fluid leakage, emission of
gases or fluids, heating or discoloration, or accumulation of corrosion
products near the terminals, OR YOU HEAR A HISSING OR SPARKING
SOUND, disconnect the batteries and replace with a new pair of the
appropriate type and rating.

6 Access Levels
The control panel provides protection from unauthorized access of certain functions by
incorporating various access levels.
The TSA-200 / TSA-200XT / TSA-240 / TSA-240XT contain electronic and mechanical
means that enact 4 access levels, as per EN 54-2, Annex A:
•Access level 1 – not limited, immediate access by operator
•Access level 2 (operator) – protected by an operator password. Provides all of
access level 1 functions and allows access to additional functions that are
performed on a regular basis by the system’s operator.
•Access level 3 (programmer & installer) – protected by a programmer password
(different from the operator's password!). Provides all of access to level 1 and 2
functions and allows access to additional functions such as programming, and
access for functions performed during installation.
i
Note
Access levels 2 and 3 have different passwords. This is not correlated to the
number of times the password has to be keyed in to access a certain menu.
i
Note
The default access level 2 password is 1111. The default access level 3
password is 2222. Access level 3 password can also be used as access level
2 password.
Some sub-menus which are accessible at level 3 require that the "level 3" (programmer)
password be entered in a single menu, while other menus (for reason of additional
protection) require the level 3 password to be entered in two different menus.
A "Manual &Automatic/Manual Only" KEYBOARD switch, password protected, is located
on the front panel.
•Access level 4 ( SEE EN 54-2 Annex A)
The batteries and AC power lines are only accessible after removing several screws,
which requires a screwdriver, and opening the door.
