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 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 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, 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 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.). 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-C-9-2005

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 sitespecific 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 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. 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. Precau-D1-9-2005

Section 1: Introduction
1.1 About This Manual
The core of this manual provides instructions for connecting an ACS series annunciator to various fire alarm control panels (FACPs). Each appendix contains instructions that are unique to a particular control panel. Section 1.3 Related Documentation lists part numbers for manuals of compatible equipment such as control panels. This manual provides instructions for two sets of ACS series annunciators. Both sets can be used in the same fire alarm system. There are four basic controller modules, each with its own expander module: ACM-24AT, ACM-48A, AEM-24AT, and AEM-48A: Up to 96 points can occupy the same address, subject to the limits of the control panel. ACM-16AT, ACM-32A, AEM-16AT, AEM-32A, and multi-color variations (Section 3 Product Overview lists similarly numbered models that provide different LED colors): Up to 64 points can occupy the same address, subject to the limits of the control panel. In this manual, when the two varieties of ACS annunciator differ, the ACM-24AT/ACM-48A annunciators are discussed first.

ACS annunciators provide Notifier fire alarm control panels or network displays with remote serially connected annunciators. Arrays of LEDs indicate, at a remote location, the status of circuits within the system. Individual fire alarm control panels offer different methods of identifying annunciator points. Common system functions such as signal silence, system reset, and local annunciation controls (local acknowledge and lamp test) are controlled through switches on the annunciators keypad. Communication between the control panels or network displays and these annunciators is accomplished over a power-limited, two-wire serial interface employing an EIA-485 communication standard. Power for these annunciators is provided via a separate power-limited power loop from the control panel which is inherently supervised by these annunciators (loss of power results in an annunciator communication failure at the control panel). These annunciators can also be powered from a power-limited and regulated remote power supply listed for fire-protective signalling use. The National Standard of Canada (CAN/ULC-S527) requires that a dedicated display use yellow visual indicators to indicate the status of supervisory inputs. The annunciators listed below are intended to be used for Canadian Supervisory Service in conjunction with AFP-200, AFP400, S500, S2500, and S5000 control units (subject to annunciatorpanel compatibility): ACM-24AT/ACM-48A and expanders: These modules provide programmable colors (red/green/yellow).

These applications will require the approval of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
The standard Notifier EIA-485 circuit can drive up to 32 annunciators with expanders. One system can mix ACM-24AT, ACM-48A, ACM16AT, ACM-32A, and their expanders with other ACS devices such as LDM, TM-4, etc. An end-of-line resistor must be installed or enabled on the last ACS device on the circuit. The number of annunciators that can engage in two-way communication depends on the number of addresses available with a given fire alarm control panel. The actual number of ACS devices that can be powered in a particular system depends on the current available from the control panels power supply. Refer to the installation manual for the particular control panel for more details. For information on boosting the EIA-485 circuit signal or adding additional devices (not addresses), see the RPT-485W/RPT-485WF Installation Manual.
4.2 Wire Runs

Communication between the control panel and ACS annunciators occurs over a power-limited 2-wire EIA-485 serial interface. This communication is supervised by the fire alarm control panel. Each annunciator/expander module also requires a power-limited 24 VDC power connection. This power circuit is inherently supervised; loss of power registers as a communication failure at the control panel. The ACS can also be powered from a power-limited and regulated remote power supply listed for fire-protective signalling use.

4.3 EIA-485 Wiring Specifications

Wire the EIA-485 circuit as shown in Section 5.5 EIA-485 Circuit Connections. These requirements must be followed: The EIA-485 circuit cannot be T-Tapped; it must be wired in a continuous fashion to function properly. There is a maximum of 6,000 feet at 16 AWG between the panel and the last annunciator on the EIA-485 circuit (subject to your systems power restrictions). The wiring size must be a 12 AWG to 18 AWG twisted shielded pair cable having a characteristic impedance of 120 ohms, +/- 20%. Limit the total wire resistance to 100 ohms on the EIA-485 circuit, and 10 ohms on the annunciator power circuit. Do not run cable adjacent to, or in the same conduit as, 120 volts AC service, noisy electrical circuits that are powering mechanical bells or horns, audio circuits above 25 volts RMS, motor control circuits, or SCR power circuits. If annunciators are to be mounted in a separate cabinet or powered by a remote power supply, see Figure 4.2 Using Multiple Power Supplies With the EIA-485 Circuit. For information on boosting the EIA-485 circuit signal or adding additional devices (not addresses), see the RPT485W/RPT-485WF Installation Manual. All power must be turned off when connecting the annunciator.
4.4 Receive/Transmit and Receive Only Configuration

Receive/Transmit Annunciators
Annunciators that are configured to serve as full function annunciators can both receive status information as well as transmit commands to the control panel. This allows the annunciator to remotely execute functions of the control panel in addition to displaying the status of the system.

Receive/Transmit and Receive Only Configuration
Receive Only Annunciators

For redundant annunciation of system points, annunciators can be configured as Receive Only annunciators. Receive Only annunciators must be set to the same address as the annunciators they duplicate. Receive Only annunciators intercept information being transmitted to a Receive/Transmit annunciator for duplication at an intermediate display location. When configured for Receive Only operation, they cannot be used to send information to the system, and as a result are not supervised by the control panel. They cannot perform remote functions such as Acknowledge, Signal Silence, or System Reset. Control switches on Receive Only annunciators can be used only for local functions, such as lamp test. Wiring to Receive Only annunciators may be supervised by installing the modules upstream of fully supervised, Receive/Transmit annunciators along the EIA-485 line (see Figure 4.1).

Annunciator Power Requirements & Electrical Ratings
4.6 Annunciator Power Requirements & Electrical Ratings

Annunciators draw their power from the control panel and must be considered when calculating the primary and secondary power supply requirements for the system. Each annunciator module is accounted for in the power calculations outlined in the respective installation manual. However, if the current draw dedicated to the annunciators must be calculated as a separate figure, use the equations in Table 4.1.
Electrical Ratings
Input Voltage: 24 VDC (must be power-limited and non-resettable). Use a regulated, power-limited, compatible power supply that is UL/ULC-Listed for Fire Protective Signaling use. Data Communications Port: EIA-485 operating at 20 Kbps (must be power-limited).

enclosures, including the FACP backbox, must be connected to earth ground! Never use the shield for grounding purposes. Terminate the EIA485 shield at the Fire Alarm Control Panel only. When the EIA-485 shield is in conduit: Connect it to system reference (system common). The shield can enter the cabinet, but must be insulated from the cabinet (no electrical contact). Between annunciators, wire-nut multiple shields together (which can be inside of the respective enclosure, but can not contact the enclosure). When the EIA-485 shield is not in conduit: Terminate the shield at the outside of the FACP backbox (ground). Do not allow the shield to enter or even touch the cabinet. Between annunciators, wire-nut multiple shields together outside of the respective enclosures (see Figure 5.11).
5.7 End of Line Resistor for EIA-485 Circuit

For the last device on the EIA-485 circuit, an end-of-line resistor must be installed or enabled (depending on the type of ACS device). For ACM-24AT or ACM-48A, set SW29 to ENABLE to install the built-in end-of-line resistor (see Figure 5.12). For ACM-16AT or ACM-32A, install a 120 ohm End-of-Line Figure 5.12 SW29 on Resistor (Notifier Part Number ACM-24AT or ACM-48A 71244, supplied with the annunciator) must be installed at the last annunciator on the EIA-485 circuit (see Figure 5.10 on page 36). All other ACS annunciators should be set to DISABLE or the ELR removed. Power must be turned off when connecting the annunciator to avoid damaging the equipment.
ACM-SW29.wmf
5.8 Earth Ground

Connect Earth Ground to a mounting screw on the backbox or cabinet. During mounting (see Section 5.3), the backbox or cabinet should have been connected to a solid earth ground such as a cold water pipe. ACM-24AT, ACM-48A: Ground is on the EIA-485 terminal block. ACM-16AT and ACM-32A: Ground is on the Power terminal block.
5.9 Main Power Supply Connections

The ACS power source must be filtered, non-resettable, 24 VDC listed for fire-protective signalling use. Sources include main power supplies, auxiliary power supplies, and on-board power supplies (integral to fire alarm control panel). The power run to the annunciator need not contain a Power Supervision Relay because loss of power is inherently supervised through communication loss (loss of EIA-485 communication is registered at the control panel during loss of power to the annunciator).

5.12.4 Speaker Control Mode

ACM-24AT boards provide a Speaker Control Mode for use with XPIQ or control modules. This is available for the following panels: AFP-300/AFP-400, NFS-640, NFS-3030, NFS2-3030, NCA, NCA-2, and AM2020/AFP1010. Note: The XPIQ can only support up to four channels. The board switches are grouped depending on the number of channels, so that the number of switches per group equals the number of channels enabled on the XPIQ. This enables the ACS to control operation of groups of multi-channels mapped to groups of multiple speakers. Within a group, channels have priority and only one channel can output its contents on the speaker circuit. Pressing a switch in a group has the following effects: 1. If there are no lit LEDs in the group, the output of the channel will be directed to the speaker circuit, and the point-active LED at that switch will flash. 2. If the LED is unlit but other outputs within the group are active, the other outputs will be deactivated and their LEDs will turn off. If the output of a particular LED cannot be deactivated (due to panel programming choices, for example), that LED will turn on steady. 3. If the LED is lit steady, the output will be deactivated, and the pointactive LED will turn off. 4. If the LED was flashing, the output will be turned off, the LED will turn off, the next highest-priority LED within the same group will begin to flash.
42
ACS Manual P/N 15842:M 12/28/2006
For example, in a system with three channels and four speakers, where channel one has higher priority than channel two, which has higher priority than channel three, the system would be set up with one ACM-24AT board, and DIP SW32 on the ACM-24AT would be set as follows:
SW32-2 SW32-3 SW32-4 OFF ON OFF
Table 5.1
In this example, point mappings are as shown the 3 Switches per Group section of Table 5.3. If Switch 8 were pressed with no lit LEDs in the group, the output of Channel 2 would be directed to speaker circuit 3, and the point-active LED at switch P8 would flash. Configuring Switch Groups: Annunciator switches can be set in groups from one-point up to eight-points. If selecting 5-point or 7-point groups, note that there will be some unused switches; any unused points should be programmed as monitor points. Configure Speaker Control Mode with DIP switch SW32-2, SW32-3, and SW32-4 according to the point assignments shown in Table 5.2.

5.13.2 Addressing ACM-16AT and ACM-32A

Set the address with rotary switches on the back of the annunciator (see Figure 5.4). Turn the arrow with a small flat-head until it points to the correct digit. The rotary switch on the left sets the tens digit; the switch on the right sets the ones digit. Up to 32 devices (such as ACMs, LDMs, and AFMs) can be connected to the EIA-485 circuit; the number of addresses available and the number of devices that can answer back depend on the control panel. Refer to your control panel documentation for valid addresses. Using ACS and a UDACT on the Same Control Panel: The use of a UDACT Universal Alarm Communicator/Transmitter and an Annunciator Control System on the same control panel will alter the assignments of the trouble LEDs on ACS Points 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Refer to the UDACT installation manual and the literature for the respective fire alarm control panel for further details.
5.13.3 Configuring Number of Expander Modules

Indicate the number of expanders connected to each ACM-16AT/ACM-32A by setting the DIP switch on the end of the annunciator, as shown in Table 5.4.

5.14 Supervising Devices with ACM-16AT, ACM-32A

If using ACM-16AT or ACM-32A, the normally closed Trouble Input on those modules can be used for supervising local power sources or other devices. If employed, all changes in status (to and from the trouble state) will be sent to the control panel in the event of device failure or restoral. If not used, a jumper must be installed across these terminals TB1-6 and TB1-7; without this jumper, the control panel will register a trouble condition. (See Figure 5.19.)

The power run to the annunciator does not require a Power Supervision Relay. Loss of power is inherently supervised through a Communications loss. This 24 VDC output is supervised, power-limited, filtered, and non-resettable.
D.4 Programming the AM2020/AFP1010 for Remote Annunciation

Annunciator points must be programmed from the AM2020/AFP1010 before the annunciators will function. To program the annunciators into AM2020/AFP1010 memory, and to map system points and software zones to annunciator points, refer to the AM2020/AFP1010 Manual. The AM2020/AFP1010 employ the following format for annunciator points:

D.6 Configurations for Specific Applications

The ACS is a vital part of voice alarm applications with the AM2020/AFP1010. An ACM-24AT or ACM-16AT allows for manual selection of speaker or telephone circuits and can provide common system annunciation of circuits and software zones. Dedicated annunciators are required for each of the following specific types of applications: Common System Annunciation Speaker and Telephone Mode Manual Override
D.6.1 Common System Annunciation

An ACM-24AT or ACM-16AT module may be used to annunciate AM2020/AFP1010 circuits and software zones. If located remotely and used to execute control functions (Acknowledge, Signal Silence, Reset),

This remote annunciator must be programmed to annunciate the status of all points in the system, either by device/module, or by grouping points into software zones and annunciating the status of those zones. Every point in the system must be represented by at least one annunciator point at each remote location.
NOTE:More than one monitor-type device may be programmed to a single annunciator point. This multiple-mapping of initiating devices will operate the point active and trouble LEDs of an annunciator point with Boolean OR functionality.
D.6.2 Speaker and Telephone Mode

To execute audio functions, use an ACM-24AT or ACM-16AT set to address 1. This annunciator (and any expanders) must be installed adjacent to the AMG-1 and points assigned for AMG control cannot be used for common system annunciation, or for the manual control of circuits and relays. Telephone points can be mapped to unused points on this annunciator or on another ACM-24AT or ACM-16AT annunciator for the control of telephone circuits. Set the DIP switches as follows.The switch numbers given below are for SW28 on the ACM-24AT, and for the 8-pin DIP switch on the ACM-16AT.

When configured as outlined in Speaker and Telephone Mode, the ACM24AT or ACM-16AT will function as follows: All new conditions (except telephone call-in) The piezo will not sound and LEDs will not flash. Telephone call-in: The piezo will sound and both the point active and trouble LEDs for the respective telephone point will flash. Pressing the telephone point switch on the ACM-24AT or ACM-16AT will silence the piezo and illuminate LEDs steadily. The AM2020/AFP1010 will indicate telephone circuit connection by turning off the trouble LED.
D.6.3 Manual Override

Manual Override allows the on/off control of relays to be placed under sole control of the annunciator switches. When Dip Switch 1 is ON, and the Manual Override key has been pressed on the ACM-24AT or ACM16AT, the annunciator is in Manual Override mode, and the yellow override LED is ON. Pressing the key again returns the annunciator to automatic mode. In manual mode, automatic (control-by-event) commands from the AM2020/AFP1010 are ignored, and relays may be switched on/off only from the annunciator switches. In automatic mode, the relays may be switched by either the AM2020/AFP1010 or the annunciator switches. When in manual override mode, all points displayed on the ACM-24AT or ACM-16AT and all its expanders will ignore subsequent Control-byEvent (CBE) commands from the panel. Manual Override Mode can be entered by pressing the Manual Override switch on the ACM-24AT or ACM-16AT module (Use special slide-in label). The Manual LED on the ACM-24AT or ACM-16AT module will illuminate steadily. The AM2020/AFP1010 will register an ANNUNCIATOR TROUBLE condition. The state of the each annunciator point will remain the same as before. The output circuits can now be controlled via their point switches.
ACS Manual P/N 15842:M 12/28/2006 69

E.1 Capabilities
ACS annunciators communicate with the control panel on the ACS Mode interface: TB11 on the CPU-320 or CPU2-640, TB13 on the CPU-640. The ACS Mode interface can annunciate control panel, zone, detector, module, and circuit status. The 832 panel annunciation points are divided into 13 fixed ACS Selection Groups (labeled A to M) of 64 points; these are detailed in the panel's programming guide (see Section 1.3 Related Documentation for part numbers). There are also ten programmable annunciator groups which are programmed using VeriFire Tools software. You can assign each ACS Selection Group to one or more of the 32 annunciator addresses supported by the control panel. This fire alarm control panel can use ACS annunciator addresses 132 without a UDACT and ACS annunciator addresses 119 with a UDACT. Up to 32 devices can be driven by the EIA-485 communications output, all addresses combined. Two-way communications can occur with only one annunciator per address; other devices on the same address must be configured as Receive Only. Use the ACS Mode Interface to remotely use control panel functions (Acknowledge, Alarm Silence, Alarm Activate, and System Reset) from a remote location. The ACS Mode interface can also activate NACs, panel circuits, and control modules from remote locations.

F.2 Connecting EIA-485 Circuit

Communication between the control panel and the Annunciator Control System is accomplished over a twowire EIA-485 serial interface. This communication, to include the wiring, is supervised by the System 500. Loss of communication results in System Trouble and Module Failure indications at the control panel. The EIA-485 circuit that drives the ACS must be connected to Terminal Block 2 on the control panel (as shown in the accompanying figure.)

Power-limited and supervised. 6,000 feet maximum distance (@16 AWG) between the control panel and the furthest annunciator. Use twisted pair cable with a characteristic impedance of approximately 120 ohms. EIA-485 circuit rated 5.5 VDC max., 60 mA max.
NOTE:System Trouble and Module Failure will also occur if the normally closed supervisory path between TB1 Terminals 6 and 7 on the annunciator is opened (or the jumper has not been installed).
F.3 Providing Power to Annunciators

System 500 panels use the MPS-24B Main Power Supply. Connect the power run for the ACS to MPS-24B TB2 Terminals 1 (+) and 2 (-).
WARNING: Cut JP1 to make this circuit non-resettable. Do not use this connection to simultaneously power four-wire detectors and annunciators. See the System 500 Manual for location of JP1.
No more than 200 mA current can be drawn from these power-limited terminals in standby or alarm. The power run to the annunciator does not require a Power Supervision Relay because loss of power is inherently supervised through a Communications loss.

G.2 Connecting the EIA-485 Circuit

Communication between the control panel and the Annunciator Control System is accomplished over a two-wire EIA-485 serial interface. This communication circuit is supervised by the System. To operate the ACS, the control panel must be Revision D or greater. The revision level of the control panel is marked on a label affixed to the upper board. Additionally,

G.4 Installing Modules in the System

The ACS begins annunciation with the control panel and continues with the annunciation of circuits on the module installed directly after the control panel. To ensure full employment of ACS points, mount System modules that require annunciation in the control panel row first, then in the second row, etc. Modules with circuits that need not be annunciated by the ACS should be installed further down in the cabinet.

I.1 Capabilities
ACS annunciators communicate with the control panel on the ACS Mode interface (TB3 on the NCA). Annunciators can be programmed to annunciate the status of addressable devices, software zones, system control functions or shadowing ACS points mapped to an AM2020/AFP1010. The NCA supports up to 96 points per annunciator address. The ACS devices can be programmed as either 64 or 96 points depending on which ACS series is being used. Up to 32 devices can be driven by the EIA-485 communications output, all addresses combined. Two-way communications can occur with only one annunciator per address; other devices on the same address must be configured as Receive Only.

J.6.1 Common System Annunciation

An ACM-24AT or ACM-16AT module may be used to annunciate NFS3030/NFS2-3030/NCA-2 circuits and logic zones. If located remotely and used to execute control functions (Acknowledge, Signal Silence, System Reset), the DIP switches on the annunciator must be set as follows: The switch numbers given below are for SW28 on the ACM-24AT, and for the 8-pin DIP switch on the ACM-16AT and ACM-32A.
Switch # 1 2, 3 ACM-24AT and ACM-48A ACM-16AT and ACM-32A Function Manual override: Set switch OFF for this application. Expanders installed: Set these switches according to how many expanders are installed at the address. See Section 5.12.3 Configuring Number of Expander Modules for ACM-24AT/ACM-48A; see Section 5.13.3 Configuring Number of Expander Modules for ACM-16AT/ACM-32A. Not used; set to OFF Receive Only: Set switch accordingly Piezo Disable: The piezo must sound - this switch must be set to the OFF position. Switch Inhibit: Set this switch ON to disable the point control switches on the annunciator and prevent them from executing system control functions. When inhibited, the switches will serve as local Lamp Test switches only. In addition, the Acknowledge/Lamp Test switch will function only in a local capacity unrecognized by the system. Flash Inhibit: Set switch to the OFF position for this application. Eight-Point Shift: Set to OFF.

This remote annunciator must be programmed to annunciate the status of all points in the system, either by device/module, or by grouping points into logic zones and annunciating the status of those zones. Every point in the system must be represented by at least one annunciator point at each remote location.
NOTE:More than one monitor-type device may be programmed to a single annunciator point. This multiple-mapping of initiating devices will operate the point active and trouble LEDs of an annunciator point with Boolean OR functionality.
J.6.2 Speaker and Telephone Mode with NFS-3030/NFS23030/NCA-2

To execute audio functions, use an ACM-24AT or ACM-16AT set to address 1. This annunciator (and any expanders) must be installed adjacent to the AMG-1 and points assigned for AMG control cannot be used for common system annunciation, or for the manual control of circuits and relays. Telephone points can be mapped to unused points on this annunciator or on another ACM-24AT or ACM-16AT annunciator for the control of telephone circuits. Set the DIP switches as follows. The switch numbers given below are for SW28 on the ACM-24AT, and for the 8-pin DIP switch on the ACM-16AT.

When configured as outlined in Speaker and Telephone Mode, the ACM-24AT or ACM-16AT will function as follows: All new conditions (except telephone call-in) The piezo will not sound and LEDs will not flash. Telephone call-in: The piezo will sound and both the point active and trouble LEDs for the respective telephone point will flash. Pressing the telephone point switch on the ACM-24AT or ACM-16AT will silence the piezo and illuminate LEDs steadily. The NFS-3030/NFS23030/NCA-2 will indicate telephone circuit connection by turning off the trouble LED.
J.6.3 Manual Override with NFS-3030/NFS2-3030/NCA-2

Manual Override allows the on/off control of relays to be placed under sole control of the annunciator switches. When Dip Switch 1 is ON, and the Manual Override key has been pressed on the ACM-24AT or ACM-16AT, the annunciator is in Manual Override mode, and the yellow override LED is ON. Pressing the key again returns the annunciator to automatic mode. In manual mode, automatic (control-by-event) commands from the NFS-3030/NFS2-3030/NCA-2 are ignored, and relays may be switched on/off only from the annunciator switches. In automatic mode, the relays may be switched by either the NFS-3030/NFS2-3030/NCA-2 or the annunciator switches. When in manual override mode, all points displayed on the ACM-24AT or ACM-16AT and all its expanders will ignore subsequent Control-byEvent (CBE) commands from the panel. Manual Override Mode can be entered by pressing the Manual Override switch on the ACM-24AT or ACM-16AT module (Use special slide-in label). The Manual LED on the ACM-24AT or ACM-16AT module will illuminate steadily. The NFS-3030/NFS2-3030/NCA-2 will register an ANNUNCIATOR TROUBLE condition.

The state of the each annunciator point will remain the same as before. The output circuits can now be controlled via their point switches.
CAUTION:The NFS-3030/NFS2-3030/NCA-2 Control-By-Event will not override the manual control setting of the ACM-24AT or ACM-16AT module. To return the annunciator to Automatic Mode, press the Manual Override switch again (toggle action). Set the DIP switches on a Manual Override annunciator as follows.The switch numbers given below are for SW28 on the ACM-24AT, and for the 8-pin DIP switch on the ACM-16AT.
Dip Switch:
Switch # 1 2, 3 ACM-24AT Function Manual override: Set ON for this application. Expanders installed: Set these switches according to how many expanders are installed at the address. See Section 5.12.3 Configuring Number of Expander Modules for ACM-24AT/ACM-48A; see Section 5.13.3 Configuring Number of Expander Modules for ACM-16AT/ACM-32A. Not used; set to OFF Eight-Point Shift: Set to OFF. Receive Only: Set this switch OFF for this application. Piezo Disable: Set this switch accordingly.
