Separation of Circuits - Power Limited, Non-Power Limited, High Voltage Wiring
The main AC power connection is considered high-voltage and non-power limited. The phone line connections to the
DACT are high-voltage – power limited. Battery conductors, and the alarm, supervisory, and trouble relays are non-
power limited. All remaining circuits are low-voltage, power limited connections.
Proper separation must be maintained between the circuits listed above. All separations in the different wiring must
be maintained by at least 0.25 inches and the wire insulation must be for the higher voltage.
In the panel there are sufficient knock outs located around the periphery of the cabinet to allow the installer to
maintain power limited and non-power limited connections. The main AC power connection should be made on
the left side or top left of the cabinet. The DACT wiring connections should be made along the top right side of the
cabinet.
Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs)
The panels are equipped with six NAC circuits and each are rated for a continuous 3 amps at 24 VDC. The outputs
are supervised and regulated. The NACs reverse polarity upon activation and the board and illustrations are marked
accordingly.
The panels can be programmable to allow for addition of a CA-6500 Class-A Expander. This expander allows for
Class A operation of the NACs. Each Class A circuit is rated for a continuous 3 amps at 24 VDC. The outputs are
supervised and regulated.
NAC circuits are power limited and the type of output is selectable. The NACs may be configured for strobe
synchronization with AMSECO, Wheelock, Gentex, or System Sensor strobe devices as shown compatible in this
document and the installation instructions.
The maximum impedance is a function of the load being applied to the circuit. In order to calculate the maximum
impedance as follows:
(Alarm Current of Notification Appliances) X (Wire Resistance) < 3 volts.
The NAC circuits may be configured for Class A or Class B.

Signaling Line Circuit (SLC)
The panels are equipped with one built-in SLC loop supporting a maximum of 127 devices. Up to 9 additional SLC
loops are supported by adding the PAD100-SLCE or the SLCE-127 loop expander modules. The PAD100-SLCE
supports the PAD protocol and the SLCE-127 supports the Nohmi protocol.
The addressable points may be any combination of smoke sensors, heat detectors, input modules or output modules.
The SLC provides power and communication to each of the sensors and modules connected. The SLC is fully
supervised in that the communication signal is sent and must be received from each device. The entire loop is polled
approximately every 4 seconds.
The voltage range for the SLC is 22-24 VDC. The power is a constant regulated connection with a maximum line
resistance of 50 ohms. The SLC has a maximum loop capacitance of 0.5 micro-farads. The maximum SLCE-127 fully
loaded loop current is 56.055 mA. The maximum PAD100-SLCE fully loaded loop current is 90.61 mA.
The panels have ground fault detection on the SLC circuits and addressable devices. The impedance to ground for
ground fault detection is 0 ohms.
The SLC may be configured and installed as a Class A, Class X or Class B.
If the Nohmi protocol SCI short circuit isolators are installed, a total of 8 devices must be deducted from the total
number of devices for each isolator installed.
All SLC wiring is low voltage and power limited.
SLC Address Programming
Addresses for all PAD protocol devices are assigned via a dipswitch on the device.
Addresses for the Nohmi protocol devices are assigned by using the hand-held programmer (part # FZAW004-
-P/3610053).
SLC Class X Wiring
For the PAD protocol, Class X requires a PAD100-IB to be installed for each sensor and/or PAD100-IM to be installed
on each side of each module. The maximum wiring resistance between a PAD100-IB/PAD100-IM and another
PAD100-IB/PAD100-IM shall be less than 10 ohms and the total resistance must be below 50 ohms. The maximum
wiring resistance shall be calculated based on 0.1 ohm per PAD100-IB/PAD100-IM.
For the Nohmi protocol, Class X requires one AIB to be installed for each sensor and/or SCI to be installed on each
side of each module. The maximum wiring resistance between an AIB/SCI shall be less than 10 ohms and the total
resistance must be below 50 ohms. The maximum wiring resistance shall be calculated based on 0.1 ohm per AIB/
SCI.
Note: Class X requires a close nipple or conduit connection to every module or sensor for both PAD and Nohmi
protocols.

General Wiring Information

The cabinet has various conduit knockouts located around the cabinet for ease of wire installation. In addition,
this method provides a means to separate different types of circuit to reduce electrical interference, transient
voltage or voltage ratings.
The enclosure requires the use of power limited and non-power limited wiring on the main board as well as within
the enclosure. Power limited wiring is to remain separated from non-power limited by a minimum or 0.25 inches
and all cabling should be insulated to the higher voltage.
When the panel is installed, the National Electrical Code (NEC, NFPA 70) should be followed for the proper
installation and separation of power limited and non-power limited circuits. The mixing of power limited and
non-power limited should be avoided. Refer to the following figure for suggested wiring routing.

3. Functionality
The panel utilizes a signaling line circuit for communication to various sensors and modules. The system polls each
loop between every 4 to 5 seconds. The system is completely supervised and is designed to comply with UL 864. The
control panel uses a proprietary protocol to digitally communication with various sensors and modules to determine
the status of each. When the panel response from the sensor or module is within a pre-determined range or status, the
control will process the commands accordingly.
The control panel user interface requires the use of a key to open the outer door. Advanced features will require an
additional user code to be entered using a combination of numbers.
The panel is completely programmable through the use of a computer program. Remote programming is detailed
later in this section.
The control panel includes three relay contacts for additional monitoring or building functions.
The first relay is a failsafe, dedicated Trouble Relay. This relay changes state during any trouble condition. This
relay is not programmable and no additional mapping to this relay can take place.
The second relay is a dedicated Supervisory Relay. This relay changes state during any supervisory condition. This
relay is not programmable and no additional mapping to this relay can take place.
The third relay is a dedicated Alarm Relay. This relay changes state during any alarm condition. This relay is not
programmable and no additional mapping to this relay can take place.
The AFC-1000 has six NACs and four I/O circuits. Each NAC is rated for 3 amps at 24 VDC. Each I/O circuit is
configurable as a NAC rated for 1 amp at 24 VDC, or as a dry contact input. The NACs may be operated in Class A
with the addition of a CA-6500 Class A Expander.
NACs may be programmed to provide steady (constant) voltage, a cadence pattern, releasing service or synchronized
strobes. Full synchronization is maintained system-wide. The NACs may be programmed as silenceable or non-
silenceable. Anytime a NAC has been silenced, the condition will be indicated by the silenced LED. If a NAC that
is programmed as silenceable is silenced and another alarm event mapped to that NAC occurs, the NAC will resound
and the silenced LED will extinguish.
19
The Low AC report delay period is programmable from 30 minutes up to 30 hours. For UL installations and
applications the installer must set the time delay between 30 minutes and 90 minutes.
Supervisory Signal Operation – Zones programmed as supervisory zones can be programmed as latching or non-
latching.
Trouble Signal Operation – Any fault or off normal that would impair the system is annunciated as a trouble
condition. The trouble condition is specifically displayed on the LCD display so the trouble can be corrected. When
a trouble occurs the buzzer sounds every ten seconds for one second, the trouble LED illuminates and the trouble
relay changes state.
The panel transfers from AC to battery instantly upon AC failure or brownout. The trouble relay will indicate the low
AC condition after the Low AC Report Delay has elapsed.
The control panel can utilize an optional digital alarm communicator transmitter, (UD-1000/UD-2000). The UD-
1000/UD-2000 is a two line dialer with the capability to report in the Ademco Contact ID or the Security Industry
Association’s Digital Communications Standard (SIA-DCS).
When equipped with a UD-1000, the status changes of the panel are remotely communicated to a monitoring station.
Programming options allow for selecting separate accounts for alarm/trouble/supervisory/test events. When a UD-
1000/UD-2000 is not installed, the panel will operate as a local system.
The DACT will provide a daily test to a remote monitoring point daily. The daily test time is programmable. If
two phone lines are utilized, the DACT will alternate between lines on each daily call. If multiple accounts are
programmed, then multiple daily tests will be conducted alternating on each line.
The panels may be equipped with 31 PSN-1000 series intelligent power expanders. The PSN-1000/PSN-1000(E) is
a 10 amp notification power supply and P-Link (RS-485) repeater. The power supply connects to the P-Link bus from
the control panel and is operated and supervised from the panel.
The power supply has six (6) Class B or three (3) Class A power outputs. Each output is regulated and power limited
with a 3 Amp maximum rating. In addition, the PSN-1000s have two (2) programmable dry contact inputs. The dry
contact inputs are Class B, supervised inputs.
The power supply operates on either 120 or 220 VAC power and has a regulated 24 VDC output. In addition, the
panel can charge up to 55 AH batteries and will house 18 AH batteries.
The power supplies are programmed and controlled through the main control panel P-Link bus. The panel displays
any troubles or off normal conditions of the power supply and the events are stored in the panel history buffer.

The control panel has an interface display for allowing users, technicians and installers the ability to recognize the
status and input changes to the control panel. The display consists of three parts — the 160 character LCD display, the
keypad and LEDs.
The keypad on the control panel is utilized for common user functions and system programming. The common user
function buttons the following:
ACK – When pressed acknowledges the status change of the panel.

Signal Silence – When the button is pressed will silence outputs that are programmed as silenceable.
System Reset – When this button is pressed, the system will reset the panel to a normal condition. Once the reset is
complete, any off normal status will be displayed.
Fire Drill – When programmed, the Fire Drill button will activate the programmed outputs to simulate an actual alarm
without creating an alarm event.
The display has the following LEDs:

Power – A green LED that illuminates any time AC power is present.
Alarm – A red LED that flashes any time an input programmed as an alarm device is active and has not been
acknowledged. The LED will illuminate steady after all alarm conditions have been acknowledged.
Pre-Release – An amber LED that illuminates when a releasing zone is in a Pre-Discharge mode.
Release – A red LED that is on steady when a releasing output is active.
Earth Fault – An amber LED that flashes any time a ground fault is present on one of the control panel circuits and has
not been acknowledged. The LED will illuminate steady after all earth faults have been acknowledged.
Supervisory – An amber LED that flashes any time an input programmed as supervisory is active and has not been
acknowledged. The LED will illuminate steady after all supervisory conditions have been acknowledged.
Signal Silence – An amber LED that will illuminate any time the signal silence is active.
Trouble – An amber LED that flashes any time a trouble condition on the system is present and has not been
acknowledged. The LED will illuminate steady after all trouble conditions have been acknowledged.
27
The control panel has the following functions:

Drift Compensation – The system employs drift compensation as a false alarm preventive measure. The drift
compensation is controlled as part of the smoke head and not part of the control panel.
Calibrated Smoke Detector Sensitivity Testing – The control panel polls the smoke sensors for the current AD value
approximately once every four seconds. Approximately every 4 minutes, the control panel polls the smoke sensors for
the dirty value and compares the dirty value of the sensor to the alarm threshold. If the dirty value is 50% of the alarm
threshold, a sensor trouble will be annunciated. A technician may also request the status of any sensor in the system
through the front panel menu. In addition, a report can be printed that provides the level of sensitivity and the current
level.
Remote Programming – The control panel is capable of being programmed remotely via the optional UD-1000/UD-
2000 communicator. The remote modem calls the panel from a remote location and if programmed to answer phone
calls it will pick up the call. Before the panel will accept any changes to the configuration data, an on-site user must
enable the panel for remote access via the front panel keypad.
Positive Alarm Sequence – The control panel is programmable for Positive Alarm Sequence. When a zone is
programmed as positive alarm sequence and an automatic sensor is activated, the user has up to 15 seconds
to acknowledge the alarm. Failure to acknowledge the alarm will activate the evacuation appliances. If the
alarm is acknowledged, the user has up to 180 seconds to reset the system. Failure to reset the system after the
acknowledgment timer will result in the evacuation signal being activated.
Alarm Verification – The control panel is programmable to enable alarm verification in compliance with UL 864 and
NFPA 72. Zones with smoke sensors programmed as alarm verification when activated will delay the notification
circuits from activating for up to 60 seconds. If the smoke sensor is still in the alarm condition after the programmed
delay, the evacuation signals will activate.
Note: Alarm activation requiring activation of two or more automatic detection devices shall not utilize alarm
verification or any other time delay.
The control panel maintains the date and time independently of the main or secondary power. The date and time can
be changed through the front keypad menu. In addition, daylight savings time may be programmed into the system,
the dates of the time change are programmable if this feature is selected.
When an appropriate pass code is entered via the key pad into the control panel, the user may disable a device within
the system. Any addressable point, NAC or suppression circuit may be disabled. When a device or circuit is disabled,
the panel will indicate the off-normal condition. When the device or circuit is enabled, the trouble will clear and the
panel will operate in a normal fashion. More than one device or circuit may be disabled at any one time. The circuits
may individually be enabled and not affect the others.
The control panel controls the alarm threshold of the smoke detectors programmed as part of the system. The alarm
threshold is limited to the listed value of the smoke detector. The selectable range of sensitivity is 1.5 percent per foot
obscuration to 3.5 percent per foot obscuration. The alarm threshold may be adjusted in the computer software.
The control panel may be programmed for Day and Night mode smoke detector alarm threshold. The smoke detectors
must be programmed for the day and night mode in addition to the Day/Night mode being enabled. In addition, the
programmer must select the days and times for the days and nights. Up to fifty holidays may be programmed for the
night mode (more sensitive) setting. The alarm threshold is only programmable for the listed range of the detector.
The control panel utilizes a concept of software zones for mapping inputs to outputs. Inputs and outputs are mapped
to a single or multiple zones and when an input activates, all of the outputs within the same zone are activated. The
panel also supports Cross Zoning, Counting Zones or a combination of a Cross/Count Zone. Cross zoning requires
two inputs from separate zones in order to activate an output. A counting zone requires two inputs within the same
zone to activate an output. The combination of a Cross/Counting Zone is two inputs in different zone or two inputs
within the same zone to activate an output.

4. Programming Options
The control panel is configured using a PC based programming tool. The panel stores the site specific configuration
data in non-volatile memory.

Fire Panel Operating Instructions
Normal Standby The green AC POWER LED will be illuminated and the user defined message on the LCD will be displayed. If
the AC power is removed for more than 5 seconds, the green AC power LED will extinguish.
Acknowledging Off normal events are acknowledged by pressing the ACK key while reviewing events. After all events have been
acknowledged, the buzzer will deactivate and the associated LED will stop flashing and remain on continuously.
During Positive Alarm Sequence operation the “ACK” key must be pressed within 15 seconds of the alarm
initiation to activate the investigation timer.
Alarm Condition The red ALARM LED will be illuminated anytime an alarm is occurring in the system. The LCD will display the
number of inputs in alarm, and the buzzer will be activated. The buzzer will remain active until all alarms have
been acknowledged, or until the Silence key is pressed.
Silencing Alarm When the system is in Alarm, the notification circuits (strobes and horns) can be shut off by pushing the SILENCE
button.
Resetting Alarm After the condition that caused the alarm has been identified and corrected, the system may be reset to the Normal
Standby by pressing the RESET button.
Supervisory Condition When a supervisory condition is detected, the amber SUPERVISORY LED will illuminate and the buzzer will
sound. The LCD display will indicate the number of supervisory events that are active. The local buzzer will
sound until all supervisory events have been acknowledged.
Restoring Supervisory If the Supervisory condition is non-latching, once the device is restored to the normal condition, the supervisory
Condition event will clear. If the supervisory condition is latching, the device that was activated must be restored and the
RESET pressed.
Trouble Condition When a fault condition occurs, the amber TROUBLE LED will illuminate and the local buzzer will sound
until the fault is removed or the ACK button is pressed acknowledging the trouble condition. If the buzzer is
acknowledged and the fault is not removed within 24 hours, the buzzer will resound.
Silencing Trouble(s) When a trouble is occurring, the local buzzer will sound until either all troubles have been acknowledged or the
SILENCE button is pressed.
Ground Fault When a conductor contacts and earth ground, the amber EARTH FAULT LED will illuminate and the LCD
display will provide further information of where the fault is located.
Pre-Release The amber Pre-Release LED will illuminate when the system is in a count down timer for an agent release.
(Releasing Panels Only) Additionally, pre-release events and countdown timers are displayed on the LCD.
Release The red Release LED will illuminate when a release condition is active. Additionally, release events will be
(Releasing Panels Only) displayed on the LCD.
Agent Release Abort If the system is being used as an agent releasing panel and a pre-discharge timer is programmed, the release
(Releasing Panels Only) may be aborted by pressing the abort switch. For ULI installations, pushing the Abort will allow the timer to
countdown until 10 seconds and then halt. Releasing and reactivating the Abort will set the timer to 10 seconds.
Testing and Test this system monthly or more frequently as required by the AHJ. Before conducting any testing contact
Maintenance the building personnel and the monitoring facility as applicable. When testing a system configured for
releasing, activate the releasing disconnect switch to prevent accidental discharge of a suppression system.
Test the circuits as outlined in the Installation Manual. Test in accordance with NFPA 72 Inspection, Testing
and Maintenance Chapter(s) and any local requirements. The batteries should be marked with the date of
installation and replaced every four years or sooner if battery trouble occurs. Batteries should be checked with
a tester acceptable to the AHJ such as a Stone Technologies model STC612A or equivalent. In case of a fuse
replacement, refer to the Installation Manual for the proper rating. Contact the agency below for service or
operational questions.
