Fire Alarm System Limitations


While a fire alarm system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for fire insurance!
An automatic fire alarm systemtypically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control panel with remote notification capabilitycan 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 detectors 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 recommendations contained in the Guides for Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors, which are made available at no charge to all installing dealers. These documents can be found at http:// www.systemsensor.com/html/applicat.html. 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 firstfloor 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. 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 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 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. Any warning device may fail to alert people with a disability or those who have recently consumed drugs, alcohol or medication. 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 responsibility 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 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. For added protection against telephone line failure, backup radio transmission systems are recommended. The most common cause of fire alarm malfunction is inadequate 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 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 representative. Maintenance should be scheduled monthly or as required by National and/or local fire codes and should be performed by authorized professional fire alarm installers only. Adequate written records of all inspections should be kept.
Limit-C1-2-2007

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 ionizing-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.).

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 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 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 0-49 C/32-120 F and at a relative humidity 93% 2% RH (noncondensing) at 32C 2C (90F 3F). 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 normal room temperature of 15-27 C/60-80 F. Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indicating 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 interference, 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, or printed circuit board location. Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Overtightening 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.

3.8 Connecting the Loop Control and Expander Modules


3.8.1 Mounting Instructions
Mount loop control and expander modules within the cabinet with the CPU. Two typical mounting positions are adjacent to the panel or in the row immediately below it. (DVC applications in the CA-2 chassis have specific requirements; see 3.8.2, "Audio Applications with Chassis CA-2" at the end of this section.) Follow the basic chassis-mounting instructions given for option boards. Loopexpander modules are mounted first; Loop-control modules are mounted on top of those. Alternately, loop-control and loop-expander modules can be attached to each other and mounted as a pair to the chassis. See Figure 3.12 for connection instructions, connector locations and stand-off lengths. To suspend a pair of modules in the third and fourth layer of CHS-M3, follow the instructions given in Section 3.8.5 Installing a Multi-layer Module into the Chassis. If using loop control and expander modules in CHS-4L see Figure 3.14.
NOTE: Mounting two pairs of loop control and expander modules in one chassis position may cause intermittent electrical interference. If this occurs, move one pair to a separate chassis position.

After all loop-control and loop-expander modules are mounted in the cabinet, connect the SLC loops to TB1 on each loop-control and loop-expander module as shown in Figure 3.16. Daisy-chain the loop-control modules as shown in Figure 3.15. The ribbon-cable connection runs from header J7 on the CPU to header J1 (Data in) on the first loop-control module, from J3 (Data out) on that unit to J1 on the next unit in the chain, and likewise for up to five loop-control modules. Each module should be assigned a unique SLC loop number (see below); loop number does not need to match the modules location in this daisy-chain.

Connecting the Loop Control and Expander Modules

Installation

FlashScan devices can operate in either FlashScan or, for retrofit applications, CLIP mode. Each LCM-320 or LEM-320 running a FlashScan SLC can support up to 159 detectors and 159 modules. CLIP loops are limited to 99 detectors and 99 modules. These and other capacity restrictions for CLIP mode loops are discussed in Section 3.14 Wiring a Signaling Line Circuit (SLC). Refer to the SLC Wiring Manual for wiring requirements and specific details.

CAUTION: DO NOT PROGRAM MORE THAN 99 ADDRESSES ON A CLIP-MODE SLC LOOP, BECAUSE THIS WILL SLOW THE SYSTEM DOWN AND COMPROMISE THE RESPONSE TIME OF THE PANEL TO DISPLAY OFF-NORMAL EVENTS.

3.8.2 Audio Applications with Chassis CA-2

Figure 3.10 Mounting First Pair of Loop Control and Expander Modules in CA-2 The first pair of loop control and expander modules should be mounted behind the DVC as shown in Figure 3.10, or in the row immediately below the CA-2. Any additional loop control and expander modules should be mounted in the row immediately below the CA-2.

3.8.3 Setting SLC Loop Number


Assign a unique SLC loop number to the loop control module by setting SW1 on the module to 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9. The loop expander module which is mounted behind this loop control module will be assigned the next-higher even number. For example, if the LCM-320 is set to loop number 5, the LEM-320 mounted to it will be set to loop number 6.

3.8.4 Enabling External Power Supervision


With LCM-320 revision 2.0 and higher, some type codes have external power supervision built into the software; see Section 4.2 Devices Requiring External Power Supervision for details.

3.8.5 Installing a Multi-layer Module into the Chassis


Follow the instructions illustrated in Figure 3.13 to install a pair of loop control/expander modules into CHS-4N or CHS-M3. See Figure 3.14 to install loop control/expander modules in CHS-4L. 1. 2. 3. 4. Angle the module into the chassis so that the upper end of the rear board (or boards) fits into the top slot. Bring the module back down so that the lower board edges slip into the bottom slots. Secure the module to the chassis with the two module screws. Tighten securely. Connect the ribbon cable to the module.

3.10 Connecting Power Sources and Outputs


!
WARNING: REMOVE ALL POWER SOURCES TO EQUIPMENT WHILE CONNECTING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. LEAVE THE EXTERNAL, MAIN POWER BREAKER OFF UNTIL INSTALLATION OF THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS COMPLETE.

WARNING: SEVERAL SOURCES OF POWER CAN BE CONNECTED TO THE CONTROL PANEL. BEFORE SERVICING THE CONTROL PANEL, DISCONNECT ALL SOURCES OF INPUT POWER INCLUDING THE BATTERY. WHILE ENERGIZED, THE CONTROL PANEL AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT CAN BE DAMAGED BY REMOVING AND/OR INSERTING CARDS, MODULES, OR INTERCONNECTING CABLES.

3.10.1 Overview
Complete all mounting procedures and check all wiring before applying power. Electrical connections include the following: Primary power source. +24VDC, delivered through AMPS-24/AMPS-24E main power supply. If AMPS-24/E is mounted in a separate cabinet, power-supply wiring must be in conduit (for cabinet placement information see Section 3.4 Laying Out Equipment in Cabinet and Chassis and the AMPS-24/E Manual. Secondary power source. +24 VDC from batteries, installed in the control panel (or in an optional battery cabinet). Secondary (battery) power is required to support the system during loss of primary power. External power sources. +24VDC auxiliary power supplies that are UL/ULC-listed for fire protective service. Accessory power for peripheral devices. TB3 (TB6 on previous AMPS-24/E versions) on the CPU draws power from primary, secondary and external sources to pass +24 VDC power to devices within the same enclosure as the CPU. If those devices have outputs, the outputs must be power-limited. Power rating is limited by the AMPS-24/24E primary power source, which is +24VDC and 5 Amps max. Refer to the Power Supplies Calculations Table of the AMPS-24/24E Manual for further details.

NOTE: The CPU ships with an insulator to prevents its lithium battery from discharging. To preserve the battery, this insulator should be left in place as long as possible before applying AC power. Some installers may find it convenient to remove the insulator before mounting all equipment.

NOTE: If using multiple power supplies with one set of batteries, refer to main power supply manual for connection requirements.

UL Power-limited Wiring Requirements

Installation

3.11 UL Power-limited Wiring Requirements


Power-limited and non-power-limited circuit wiring must remain separated in the cabinet. All power-limited circuit wiring must remain at least 0.25 inches (6.35 mm) from any non-powerlimited circuit wiring. All power-limited and non-power-limited circuit wiring must enter and exit the cabinet through different knockout and or conduits. To maintain separations easily, it is recommended that non-power-limited modules are grouped together. For example, use a separate row or designated side of the enclosure so that power-limited and non-power-limited wiring do not cross. Install tie wraps and adhesive squares to secure the wiring. For a quick reference to control panel circuits, refer to Figure 2.1 at the start of this manual. The power-limiting label inside your cabinet door identifies which compatible modules have powerlimited or non-power-limited wiring.

3.13 Installing Printers


This section contains information on connecting a printer to the CPU and for setting the printer options. The basic steps are as follows: 1. 2. 3. Make custom cable & connect it from printer to EIA-232 terminal on the CPU. Connect printers power supply. Configure printer settings as described in printer documentation. Overview: PRN Printer The PRN provides a printed record (80 columns on standard 9" x 11" tractor-feed paper) of all system events (alarm, trouble) and status changes within the system. The control panel can be configured to time-stamp the printout with the current time-of-day and date for each event. The printer can be located up to 50 feet (15.25 m) from the control panel. Installation and configuration instructions follow. Overview: Keltron Remote Printer (Model VS4095) The VS4095 is a two-color (red and black), 40-column, 24 VDC printer that can print up to 50 messages in 90 seconds. This printer connects to the EIA232 TB5 on the CPU and to the +24V screw on TB3 of AMPS-24/E, and mounts in a separate cabinet next to the control panel. The VS4095 meets UL fire and security requirements for an ancillary device; it is not ULClisted. For more information on the Keltron printer, contact the manufacturer (Keltron Corp., Waltham, MA). Installation and configuration instructions follow.
NOTE: Depending on which version of the AMPS-24/E is being used, the terminal block designations may differ from those listed. Please refer to the AMPS-24/E manual.

If installing a Keltron Printer VS4095/5, connect 24 VDC non-resettable power from a UL-listed power supply to the Keltron printer as shown in Figure 3.21 (14 AWG). If installing a PRN series printer, plug it into your AC power source. Note: PRN printers require a 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz primary power source. If required for the fire alarm system configuration (for example, a Proprietary Fire Alarm System), a remote printer requires a secondary power source (battery backup). Because a secondary power source is not provided, use a separate Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) that is UL-listed for Fire Protective Signaling. Plug the DB-25 connector end of the custom cable into the EIA-232 port of your printer. Tighten securely. Configure the printer as described in Section 3.13.2 Configuring the Printer.

Installation

3.14 Wiring a Signaling Line Circuit (SLC)


3.14.1 SLC Overview
Communication between the CPU and intelligent and addressable initiating, monitor, and control devices takes place through a Signaling Line Circuit (SLC). You can wire an SLC to meet the requirements of NFPA Style 4, Style 6, or Style 7 circuits. This manual provides requirements and performance details specific to this control panel; for installation information and general information, refer to the SLC Wiring Manual. For electrical specifications, see Appendix A.2 SLC Loops. For additional notes on SLC resistance values, see Section 5.3 Operational Checks.

3.14.2 SLC Capacity


The NFS2-3030 supports up to five pairs of loop control and expander modules, providing from one to ten SLC loops. Loop capacity depends on operating mode: Flash Scan: 01-159 intelligent detectors, 01-159 monitor and control modules CLIP: 0-99 intelligent detectors, 01-99 monitor and control modules

FlashScan devices can operate in either FlashScan or, for retrofit applications, in CLIP mode. Older models of CLIP devices only support addresses up to address 99. CLIP loops are limited to 99 detectors and 99 modules.
NOTE: Response times for CLIP loops may vary. CLIP loops must be tested to assure that actuation of notification appliances occurs within 10 seconds after activation of an initiating device. Systems with response time that exceed 10 seconds must be approved by the AHJ.

The following configuration guidelines may be used to improve the response times of CLIP loops: 1. 2. 3. All manual pull stations must be assigned addresses from 1-20. Loops must be programmed for Rapid Poll (refer to the programming manual for specific instructions). Modules on a fully loaded loop must adhere to a ratio of two monitor modules to one control module.

4.5 Fire/Security Applications


NOTE: The NFS2-3030 is not approved for use in security applications in Canada.

4.5.1 General Operation


The NFS2-3030 can be used as a combination Fire/Security system when installed and operated according to the instructions in this section. For security applications, program one or more monitor module (listed for security applications) with the SECURITY-L, SYSTEM MONITOR, or AREA MONITOR Type Codes, and wire as shown in Figure 4.6. Activating these types of modules lights the SECURITY LED, and displays a security alarm condition on the primary display. The panel sounder will sound until you acknowledge the Security alarm. You can also program additional sounders or output devices to activate with the security alarm initiating device. These type codes are designed to indicate an alarm in one or more of the following situations: (a) on an open or short circuit (b) on a 50% change in resistance value from the End-of-Line resistor value (c) on loss of communication with the device. A tamper switch installed in the cabinet door will indicate a door tamper condition whenever the door is open. If the control panel indicates a Security alarm, you can perform acknowledge, signal silence, and system reset from the control panel. Damage can result from incorrect wiring connections.

4.5.2 General Security Requirements


The following security requirements must be met: Use AMPS-24/E power supply. Shielded cable must be used on all input/output wiring associated with security functions. SLC Loop Shielding (refer to the SLC Wiring Manual). Security Module I/O Circuit Shielding - terminate the shield at earth ground at the junction box containing the module. When employed as a Protected Premises Unit, the NFS2-3030 cabinet door must be wired with an STS-1 Tamper Switch that is monitored by the control panel.

Fire/Security Applications

Applications

If the system has arming and disarming capability, a ringback signal from the Central Station to the arming location is required for Grade A operation. The ringback signal informs the Protected Premises Control Panel that the signal to arm/disarm has been received by the Central Station. A single SLC loop may be used for both Fire and Security Device Connections.

There are five software type IDs associated with security operation: ACCESS MONITOR alarm, AREA MONITOR, EQUIP MONITOR, SECURITY-L, and SYS MONITOR. There is also one software function, Security Delay (SDEL). These software elements are essential to all aspects of security operation, including Control-By-Event (CBE) programming. Devices with the type IDs ACCESS MONITOR and EQUIP MONITOR do not automatically display at the LCD or require state change acknowledgment. State changes in devices with these software types may be output at a printer. Refer to this panels Programming manual for more information about the characteristics of software type IDs.

Section 5: Testing the System


5.1 Acceptance Test
When finished with the original installation and all modifications, conduct a complete operational test on the entire installation to verify compliance with applicable NFPA standards. Testing should be conducted by a factory-trained fire alarm technician in the presence of a representative of the Authority Having Jurisdiction and the owner's representative. Follow procedures outlined in NFPA Standard 72s section Inspection, Testing and Maintenance.

5.2 Periodic Testing and Service


Periodic testing and servicing of the control panel, all initiating and notification devices, and any other associated equipment is essential to ensure proper and reliable operation. Test and service the control panel according to the schedules and procedures outlined in the following documents: NFPA Standard 72, Inspection, Testing and Maintenance. Service manuals and instructions for the peripheral devices installed in your system. Correct any trouble condition or malfunction immediately.

5.3 Operational Checks


Between formal periodic testing and servicing intervals, the following operation checks should be performed monthly, or more frequently when required by the Authority Having Jurisdiction. Disconnect all releasing devices to prevent accidental activation.

WARNING: RELEASING DEVICES SHOULD BE PHYSICALLY DISCONNECTED. DO NOT USE SOFTWARE DISABLE FUNCTIONS IN THE PANEL AS LOCKOUT.

Check that the green POWER LED lights. Check that all status LEDs are off. Press and hold the LAMP TEST key. Verify that all LEDs and all LCD display segments work. Before proceeding: a) notify the fire department and the central alarm receiving station if transmitting alarm conditions; b) notify facility personnel of the test so that alarm sounding devices are disregarded during the test period; and c) when necessary, disable activation of alarm notification appliances and speakers to prevent their sounding. Activate an Initiating Device Circuit using an alarm initiating device or an addressable initiating device on the SLC and check that all programmed active notification appliances function. Reset the alarm initiating device, the control panel, and any other associated equipment. In voice alarm applications, confirm that the proper tone(s) and/or messages sound during alarm conditions. Select the paging function and confirm that the message can be heard in the affected fire zones. Repeat the above step with each Initiating Device Circuit and each addressable device.
NOTE: SLC Resistance Values: The total DC resistance of the SLC pair cannot exceed 50 ohms. For instructions on how to measure the total DC resistance of a populated SLC pair, refer to the Measuring Loop Resistance section of the SLC Wiring Manual (P/N 51253). The minimum DC resistance between conductors of an unpopulated SLC pair cannot be less than 1 K ohms. Measure DC resistance on an unpopulated loop as shown in Figure 5.1 on page 56.

Testing the System

Battery Checks and Maintenance

Zero Ohms to ground will cause a ground fault. On systems equipped with a firefighters telephone circuit, make a call from a telephone circuit and confirm a ring indication. Answer the call and confirm communication with the incoming caller. End the call and repeat for each telephone circuit in the system. Remove AC power, activate an Initiating Device Circuit through an alarm initiating device or an addressable initiating device on the SLC, and check that programmed active notification appliances sound, and alarm indicators illuminate. Measure the battery voltage with notification appliances active. Replace any battery with a terminal voltage less than 21.6 VDC and reapply AC Power.
NOTE: The battery test requires fully charged batteries. If batteries are new or discharged due to a recent power outage, allow the batteries to charge for 48 hours before testing.

Return all circuits to their pretest condition. Check that all status LEDs are off and the green POWER LED is on. Notify fire, central station and/or building personnel when you finish testing the system.
Step 1. Disconnect the SLC channel B (Out) and SLC channel A (Return) at the control panel. Step 2. Measure and record the resistance at SLC Out. Step 3. Measure and record the resistance at SLC Return. The minimum resistance is the lesser of two and three. STEP 2 SLC Out SLC Out STEP 3

5.4 Battery Checks and Maintenance


Maintenance-free sealed lead-acid batteries used in the system do not require the addition of water or electrolyte. These batteries are charged and maintained in a fully charged state by the main power supply's float charger during normal system operation. A discharged battery typically reaches the float voltage of 27.6 VDC within 48 hours. Follow the local AHJ and manufacturer recommendations for battery replacement intervals. Minimal replacement battery capacity appears on the control panel marking label. Immediately replace a leaking or damaged battery. You can get replacement batteries from the manufacturer.

WARNING: BATTERIES CONTAIN SULFURIC ACID, WHICH CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS TO THE SKIN AND EYES AND DAMAGE TO FABRICS.

If a battery leaks and contact is made with the Sulfuric Acid, immediately flush skin and/or eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Water and household baking soda provides a good neutralizing solution for Sulfuric Acid. If Sulfuric Acid gets into eyes, seek immediate medical attention.

A.3 Notification Appliance Circuits


The FCPS-24S6 and FCPS-24S8 power supplies provide Notification Appliance Circuits. Refer to the FCPS-24S6/S8 manual for product-specific specifications. Refer to the Device Compatibility Document for compatible devices and notification appliances. Refer to the FCPS-24S6/FCPS-24S8 Manual for complete details about this power supply.

A.4 Wire Requirements


Each type of circuit within the Fire Alarm Control System requires use of a specific wire type to ensure proper circuit operation. The wire gauge of a particular circuit depends on the length of that circuit and the current traveling through it. Use the table below to determine the specific wiring requirements for each circuit. Compliance with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Canadian Department of Communication regulations on electrical energy radiation requires the following: Use twisted-pair shielded wire for any non-SLC-loop wiring entering or exiting the cabinet that is not enclosed in conduit. Use twisted-pair unshielded wiring for SLC-loop wiring.
NOTE: If running an SLC in conduit with Notification Appliance Circuits, you can reduce problems by exclusively using electronic sounders (such as the MA/SS-24 Series) instead of more electronically noisy notification appliances (such as electromechanical bells or horns).

Appendix B: Canadian Applications


B.1 Standalone Application
CPU2-3030D, with its integral keypad/display, meets Canadian requirements for standalone applications. Its 640-character, multi-line display complies with ULC requirements for primary displays.

B.2 Local Network Application


To meet ULC requirements, the networks Manual Controls may only be operated from one location at any given time. When panels are networked (using Network Communications Modules), employ AKS-1 Key Switch on each panels Primary Annunciator to enable its functions. NCA-2 may be a Primary Annunciator when AKS-1 is installed. Refer to the NCA-2 Manual (P/N 52482) for more information.
NOTE: Only one key should be issued for a networked system.

The NCA-2 or Network Control Station (NCS) may be employed as a Display and Control Center. In the event that communication fails between the panels and the Control Center, the panels will continue to function in local/standalone mode.

B.3 Automatic Alarm Signal Silence


If selecting this feature for a system requiring annunciators, consult the Authority Having Jurisdiction.

B.4 Annunciator Applications


1. 2. In Canada, the ACM series annunciator modules must be used to annunciate the fire alarm input points/zones only, if no multi-line sequential display is installed. For Canadian applications, the following LED colors must be employed: Red must be used to indicate active alarm inputs. Yellow must be used to indicate supervisory, burglary or trouble signals. Green must be used to indicate the presence of power or an activated output.

B.5 Releasing Devices


Supervision for shorts is required; use REL-47K and type code Rel Ckt ULC. Refer to Section 4.6 Releasing Applications.
NOTE: Eclipse devices are not listed for releasing applications.
