 Section 1: Introduction
1.1 Scope
This document describes the operation, installation and wiring of various Signaling Line Circuit
(SLC) devices when used with the Fire-Lite MS-9200/MS-9200E, MS-9600/MS-9600E, MS-
9600LS/MS-9600LSC/MS-9600LSE, MS-9600UDLS/MS-9600UDLSE, MS-9200UD/MS-
9200UDE, MS-9200UDLS/MS-9200UDLSE/MS-9200UDLSC, and MS-9050UD/MS-
9050UDC/MS-9050UDE control panels. It also provides basic information that applies to FireLite
SLC loops in general, such as the branch resistance measurements.

NOTE: Any reference in this manual to the MS-9200, MS-9200UD, MS-9200UDLS, MS-9600,
MS-9600LS, MS-9600UDLS, or MS-9050UD includes the MS-9200E, MS-9200UDE,
MS-9200UDLSE, MS-9200UDLSC, MS-9600E, MS-9600LSE, MS-9600LSC, MS-9600UDLSE,
MS-9050UDC, or MS-9050UDE respectively unless otherwise specified.

Additional information about the specific control panel and the modules and detectors referenced in
this document can be found in the respective installation manual as listed in Table 1.1, Reference
Documentation.
Currently, there are two styles of modules available, legacy version and newer version. The obvious
difference between the two styles is the orientation of the rotary dials. Refer to the diagram below
for an example of each.

Legacy Version Module Newer Version Module
(Vertical Rotary Dial) (Horizontal Rotary Dial)

NOTE: Only the MMF-300, MMF-302, CRF-300, CMF-300, and MDF-300 modules are available
as newer type modules. Both the legacy and newer versions share the same part numbers. The
newer version modules will be phased in, replacing the legacy version. This manual contains
information and wiring diagrams for the newer version of the modules. Refer to Terminal
Conversion Charts for New & Legacy Devices on page 74 for additional information.

Scope Introduction

Currently, there are two styles of detector bases available, legacy version and newer version. The
obvious difference between the two styles is the orientation of the screw terminals. Refer to
Section 9 and Appendix D for an illustration of each.

NOTE: Only the B501 Detector Base, B210LP Detector Base (replacement base for B350LP),
B224RB Relay Base, and B224BI Isolator Base are available as newer type bases. Both the
legacy and newer versions share the same part numbers. The newer version bases will be
phased in, replacing the legacy version. This manual contains information and wiring diagrams for
the newer version of the bases. Refer to Intelligent Detector Base Layouts for Legacy Devices
on page 78 for additional information.

1.2 Overview
Communication between the control panel and intelligent addressable monitor and control devices
takes place through a Signaling Line Circuit (SLC), which can be wired to meet the requirements of
NFPA Style 4, Style 6, or Style 7.
At least one secondary surge protector must be used with each SLC wiring pair whenever SLC
wiring runs outside the building. For detailed information refer to Surge Suppression on page 71.

1.3 Polling Protocols

The MS-9200UDLS, MS-9600LS, and MS-9600UDLS support LiteSpeed protocol or Classic
Loop Interface Protocol (CLIP). The MS-9200/E, MS-9600/E, MS-9200UD/E, and MS-9050UD
support Classic Loop Interface Protocol (CLIP) only.

1.3.1 Available Protocols

LiteSpeed is a communication protocol that greatly enhances the speed of communication between
analog intelligent devices. Only the MS-9200UDLS, MS-9600LS, and MS-9600UDLS are capable
of operating in LiteSpeed mode. This is the default mode of operation for these FACPs.
CLIP (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) polls devices in sequential order. All Fire-LiteFireWarden
addressable fire alarm control panels can operate in CLIP mode. This is the default mode of
operation for all other FACPs.

1.3.2 Protocol Use

Use one of the following options with LiteSpeed/CLIP mode:
1. Program all modules and detectors on an FACP as LiteSpeed.
2. Program all modules and detectors on an FACP as CLIP.

NOTE: FACPs with more than one SLC loop must be programmed for only LiteSpeed or CLIP
mode of operation. Communication protocols cannot be split between SLC loops.

When switching between polling protocols, the loop circuit must be powered down for at least 30
seconds to reset the devices.

1.5 SLC Capacity

The protocol selected for an SLC loop determines the maximum number of devices that can be
handled by the loop. See Section 1.3, Polling Protocols, on page 10. Within those limits, the
individual control panel may have additional restrictions. See the specific installation manual for
this information.

1.6 SLC Performance

SLC performance depends on the type of circuit (Style 4, Style 6, or Style 7) and the components
on the circuit.

 Section 2: Wiring Requirements
2.1 Wire Sizing
The SLC requires use of a specific wire type, depending on the mode of operation, to ensure proper
circuit functioning. Wire size should be no smaller than 18 AWG (0.75 mm2) and no larger than 12
AWG (3.25 mm2) wire. The wire size depends on the length of the SLC circuit. It is recommended
that all SLC wiring be twisted-pair to minimize the effects of electrical interference.

2.1.1 CLIP (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) Mode

All addressable FACPs can operate in CLIP (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) mode. It is
recommended that all SLC wiring be twisted-pair and shielded when operating in CLIP mode to reduce
the effects of electrical interference. Use the table below to determine the specific wiring requirements
for the SLC.

 Section 4: SLC Circuits with Isolators

4.1 Fault Isolator Devices

There are three isolator devices used to protect critical elements of the SLC from faults on other
SLC branches or segments.
Fault Isolator Module I300
Six Fault Isolator Module ISO-6
Isolator Detector Base B224BI
A Fault Isolator Module on both sides of a device, or the combination of Isolator Base and Isolator
Module is required to comply with NFPA Style 7 requirements.

CAUTION: MAXIMUM ADDRESSABLE DEVICES

!
If relay or sounder bases are not used, a maximum of 25 addressable devices can be
connected between Isolator Modules and/or Bases. When relay or sounder bases are used,
the maximum number of addressable devices that can be connected between Isolators is
reduced to seven. Isolator modules will not function properly when these limits are exceeded.
When more than 100 Isolator Modules are connected to an SLC loop, the address capacity
of the loop is reduced by two (2) addresses for every isolator device in excess of 100.

4.1.1 Isolating an SLC Branch

The module continuously monitors the circuit connected to terminals 3() and 4(+). Upon power-
up, an integral relay is latched on. The module periodically pulses the coil of this relay. A short cir-
cuit on the SLC resets the relay. The module detects the short and disconnects the faulted SLC
branch or segment by opening the positive side of the SLC (terminal 4). This isolates the faulty
branch from the remainder of the loop preventing a communication problem with all other address-
able devices on the remaining branches (labeled Continuation of the SLC in the figure below).
During a fault condition, the control panel registers a trouble condition for each addressable device
which is isolated on the SLC segment or branch. Once the fault is removed, the module automati-
cally reapplies power to the SLC branch or segment.

4.3 NFPA Style 6 SLC Using Isolator Modules

A variation of Style 6 operation using isolator modules to protect a section of the SLC. By flanking
each group of devices with an I300 fault isolator module each group is protected from faults that
may occur in the other groups. For example, a fault in Section B will not effect Sections A & C.
The isolator modules on either side of Section B will open the loop. Section A will still operate
from power on the SLC Out side and Section C will operate from the SLC Return side.
A combination of isolator modules and isolator bases may be used.
T-tapping is NOT allowed within the Style 6 configuration.
Isolator modules shall be within 20 feet (6.1 meters) of device and must be enclosed in metal
conduit.

Style 7 operation requires using isolator modules (or a combination of isolator modules and isolator
bases) before and after each device. Flanking each device with an isolator provides fault protection
to all other devices on the loop.
T-tapping is NOT allowed within the Style 7 wiring configuration.
When a detector base or pull station is used, install isolator modules on both sides of the
device.
Connections between isolator modules and the device they isolate must be close-nippled

Monitor Modules Installation

5.2.1 Setting an SLC address for a Single Point Module

Each module can be set to one of 159 addresses (01-159) and is factory preset with an address of
00.

NOTE: The MS-9050UD can support addresses 01 - 50. The MS-9200, MS-9200UD, and MS-
9200UDLS can support module addresses of 01 - 99. The MS-9600, MS-9600LS, and MS-
9600UDLS can support module addresses 01 - 159. The plastic stop located on the Tens switch
must be removed to set addresses above 99.

To set an SLC address, use a screwdriver to adjust the rotary switches on the module to the desired
address. The module below is set at 35. When finished, mark the address on the module face in
the place provided.

5.2.2 Setting an SLC address for a Multi-Point Module

The SLC address of a multi-point module is set in the same fashion as a single-point module.
In Class B operation, each MMF-300-10, MMF-302-6, CMF-300-6, and CRF-300-6 module is set
to a base address. The remaining module points are automatically assigned to the next higher SLC
addresses. For example, if the base address of a MMF-300-10 is set to 28, the next module points
will be addressed to 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 and 37.
In Class A operation, alternate module points are paired together, resulting in a total of five module
points. For example, if the base address of a MMF-300-10 is set to 28, then 30, 32, 34 and 36 will
be automatically assigned to the remaining module points and 29, 31, 33, 35 and 37 are available
for use by other modules.

NOTE: The MS-9050UD can support addresses 01 - 50. The MS-9200, MS-9200UD and MS-
9200UDLS can support module addresses of 01 - 99. The MS-9600, MS-9600LS, and MS-
9600UDLS can support module addresses 01 - 159 (the plastic stop located on the Tens switch
must be removed to set addresses above 99).

To set an SLC address, use a common screwdriver to adjust the rotary switches on the module to
the desired address. The module below is set at 28.

6.4.1 Cabinet Installation
This type of module is contained in either a BB-2 or BB-6 cabinet. The BB-2 can accommodate up
to 2 modules and the BB-6, which requires the CH-6 chassis, can accommodate up to 6 modules.
See the Installation Instructions provided with module for proper installation into cabinet.

6.4.2 Setting an SLC address for an CMF-300-6 Module

In Style Y operation each CMF-300-6 module can be set to one of 154 base addresses (01-154).
The remaining module points are automatically assigned to the next five higher SLC addresses. For
example, if the base address is set to 28, the next five module points will be addressed to 29, 30, 31,
32 and 33.

48 FireLite SLC Wiring Manual P/N 51309:P4 9/17/2014

CMF-300-6 Installation Control Modules

In Style Z operation alternate module points are paired together, resulting in a total of three mod-
ule points. For example, if the base address is set to 28, then 30 and 32 will be automatically
assigned to the remaining module points and 29, 31 and 33 are available to be used for other mod-
ules on the SLC.
DO NOT set the lowest address above 154 (45 for the MS-9050UD, 94 for the MS-9200, MS-
9200UD, and MS-9200UDLS), as the other module points will be assigned to nonexistent
addresses.

NOTE: The MS-9050UD can support addresses 01 - 50. The MS-9200, MS-9200UD, and MS-
9200UDLS can support module addresses of 01 - 99. The MS-9600, MS-9600LS, MS-9600LSC,
and MS-9600UDLS can support module addresses 01 - 159.

To set an SLC address, use a common screwdriver to adjust the rotary switches on the module to
the desired address. See Figure 6.4 on page 50.

NOTE: For use with the MS-9600, MS-9600LS, MS-9600LSC, and MS-9600UDLS, remove the
stop on the upper rotary switch.

6.4.3 Setting NACs as Style Y or Style Z

To use this module for Style Y (Class B) operation ascertain that a small shunt is installed on the
A/B SELECT set of pins. (As shipped).
To use this module for Style Z (Class A) operation remove the small shunt from the A/B
SELECT set of pins. See drawing below and Figure 6.4 on page 50.

6.4.4 Disabling Unused Module Addresses

A shunt is used, in conjunction with a pin block, to disable a maximum of

A/B SELECT
DISABLE 3
DISABLE 2
DISABLE 1
three (3) unused module addresses. If two module addresses are disabled,
the lowest four addresses will be functional, while the highest two will be
disabled. For example, if the shunt is placed on DISABLE 2 and the base
address is set to 28, the module addresses will be assigned to 28, 29, 30
and 31.

SLC-disable1.wmf
In Style Z operation, placing a small shunt on DISABLE 3 will disable
all three addresses. Placing it on DISABLE 2 will disable two out of
three addresses. J1
To disable addresses, securely place one of the supplied small shunts onto
the desired set of pins. See drawing and Figure 6.4 on page 50.

6.4.5 Short Circuit Protection

Protection is disabled for each module address when there is a large shunt installed on the corre-
sponding pins of the pin block (as shipped, all six addresses are disabled).
When enabled, the module will not switch power supply if a short circuit condition exists on a
NAC.
To enable Short Circuit Protection for an address, remove the large shunt from the corresponding
pins of the pin block. See Figure 6.4 on page 50. Place unused shunts on single pin to store on
board for future use.

9.1 Description
The following bases provide connection between the SLC and these detector heads:
AD350 and AD355 Multi-criteria Photoelectric Smoke Detector
CP350 and CP355 Ionization Smoke Detector
H350, H350R, H355, H355R and H355HT Thermal Detector
SD350, SD350T, SD355 and SD355T Photoelectric Smoke Detector
The B501 and B210LP bases are standard plug-in detector bases.
The B501BH, B501BHT, B501BH-2, B501BHT-2, B200SR, and B200SR-LF Sounder Detector
Bases include a horn that will sound when the sensors visible LEDs are latched on for approxi-
mately 10 seconds.
On the MS-9200 Control Panel, the sounder will activate when the sensors visible LEDs are
latched on for approximately 10 seconds (Alarm Verification does not delay sounder).
If the MS-9600, MS-9600LS, MS-9600UDLS, MS-9200UD, MS-9200UDLS, or MS-9050UD
Control Panel is set with Alarm Verification ON, the sounder will activate at the end of the
verification cycle, providing an alarm is verified, approximately 10 seconds after the sensors
LEDs are latched on. If Alarm Verification is OFF, the sounder will activate when the sensors
visible LEDs are latched on for approximately 10 seconds.
The B224RB Relay Detector Base includes Form-C latching relay contacts for the control of an
auxiliary function. The relay operates 12 seconds (nominally) after activation of the sensor head
remote annunciator output.
The B224BI Isolator Detector Base prevents an entire communications loop from being disabled
when a short circuit occurs.
The W-GATE Wireless Gateway acts as a bridge between a group of wireless fire devices and a
LiteSpeed SLC loop on the MS-9200UDLS. The gateway can be powered by the SLC loop or by a
regulated, external UL-listed, 24VDC power supply. See Section 9.7.

NOTE: When using a Wireless Gateway on the SLC loop, the panel cannot have ANY modules
(wired or wireless) in the address range from 140 to 159.

The W-GATE provides isolation of short circuits on the SLC in Class A (Style 6) installations. SLC
connections are power-limited by the panel. An interruption in the SLC that causes a loss of power
at the W-GATE for more than 100ms may result in a trouble condition and loss of fire protection
provided by the wireless devices for approximately 15 minutes. Use of a regulated, external
+24VDC power source (not SLC power) is recommended for installations that require fire protec-
tion in the presence of short circuits, including Class A applications and applications that use isola-
tor modules. Figure 9.6 shows typical wiring of a Wireless Network Gateway connected to an SLC

 Appendix A: Power Considerations

A.1 Supplying Power to 24 VDC Detectors and NACs

A.1.1 Resistance and Size
To determine the minimum resistance that can be tolerated in supplying power to 24 VDC 4-wire
devices and NACs, use the calculation below. Use this resistance to select the proper gauge wire for
the power run from the manufacturers specifications for the desired wire.
For Four-Wire Detectors:

(Vms - Vom)
Rmax =
(N)(Is) + (Na)(Ia) + (Ir)

For NACs:

(Vms - Vom)
Rmax =
(Nb)(Ib)

Where:
Rmax = maximum resistance of the 24 VDC wires
Vms = minimum supply voltage
Vom = minimum operating voltage of the detector or end-of-line relay, whichever is greater, in volts
N = total number of detectors on the 24 VDC supply circuit
Is = detector current in standby
Na = number of detectors on the 24 VDC power circuit which must function at the same time in alarm
Ia = detector current in alarm
Ir = end-of-line relay current
Nb = number of Notification Appliance Devices
Ib = Notification Appliance current when activated

NOTE: This simplified equation assumes that the devices are at the end of a long wire run.

The minimum supply voltages produced by FireLite power supplies are listed below:
FACP Vms Power Supply Vms
MS-9200 16.0 FCPS-24F 19.1
MS-9600 16.0 FCPS-24FS6/FCPS-24FS8 19.1
MS-9200UD/MS-9200UDLS 19.05
MS-9050UD 18.75

Supervising 24 VDC Power Power Considerations

A.2 Supervising 24 VDC Power

Power used to supply 24 VDC detectors, notification appliances (using the CMF-300), and two
wire detectors (using the MMF-302) can be supervised with a power supervision relay. This relay,
energized by the 24 VDC power itself, is installed at the end of each respective power run and
wired in-line with the supervised circuit of any intelligent module.
24 VDC power must be provided from a UL-listed power supply for fire protection use.
When power is removed from the relay, the normally closed contacts open the supervised circuit,
generating a trouble condition. Therefore, the relay needs to be installed at the end of the super-
vised circuit, so it will not disrupt the operating capability of all the devices on that circuit. The
relay can be installed in-line with any leg (+ or ) of the supervised NAC circuit, either a Style B
(Class B) or a Style D (Class A) circuit.
The drawing below illustrates this concept.

NOTE: For detailed information, refer to the Installation Instructions supplied with the unit.

One primary surge protector must be used with each SLC wiring pair whenever SLC wiring runs
outside the building.
Install primary protection only as shown in this document.
Refer to NEC Article 800 and local building code requirements.
Additional primary surge suppressors may be added as required by the NEC. Add these additional
suppressors in series with the SLC wiring at the building entry/exit.
Wiring connected to the surge suppressor output must remain within the building while wiring con-
nected to the surge suppressor input may be routed outside the building as shown below.

B.2 Installation
Mounting of the surge suppressor must be inside the FACP enclosure or in a separate enclosure
listed for fire protective signaling use.
Locate on an available stud and secure with nut.
Unit is connected in series with the SLC Loop to protect the Control Panel.
Provide a common ground to eliminate the possibility of a differential in ground potentials.
