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.

1.1 About This Manual
This document covers the installation and wiring of various Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) devices, when used with the following Fire Alarm Control Panels1 (FACPs): AFP-100 AFP-200 AFP-300/AFP-400 AM2020/AFP1010 NFS-3030/NFS2-3030 NFS-640/E, NFS2-640/E, NFS-320/E/C System 5000 with AIM-200

This document also provides basic information that applies to Notifier SLC loops in general, such as the branch resistance measurements. See Section 2.4, Control Panel Terminal Blocks, on page 23 for basic panel-end SLC connections. Additional information about each control panel and the modules and detectors referenced in this document, and the part numbers for their manuals, can be found in the respective installation manual as listed in Section 1.3, Reference Documentation below. FlashScan modules are changing to a new format. Several models are now available in this new format and have replaced the old format illustrations in this manual. While the old format is no longer manufactured for these models, Appendix C has been provided for those who need that wiring information: it contains terminal conversion charts between the old and new formats. In this appendix, the modules are referred to as h-type (the new format, which has horizontal rotary dials) and v-type (the old format, which has vertical rotary dials). This naming convention is a convenient way to avoid confusion when referring to a particular model, as the name of the model does not indicate the format. Refer to Figure 1.1

1.4 SLC 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 Appendix B, SLC Surge Suppression, on page 69.

1.5 Polling Protocols

FlashScan is a patented system (US Patent Number 5,539,389) that greatly enhances the speed of communication between analog intelligent devices. Communication is in a grouped fashion. If one of the devices within the group has new information, the panel CPU stops the group poll and concentrates on single points. Not all panels are FlashScan capable; see Protocol Use below. CLIP (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) polls devices in sequential order. Many but not all FlashScan-capable devices can be set to run in CLIP mode; see installation sheet shipped with the device. Protocol Use: LCM-320/LEM-320 loops on NFS2-640, NFS2-3030, NFS-3030 and NFS-640/E, and SLC loops on NFS-320 can run in FlashScan mode or CLIP mode. AFP-100, AFP1010, AFP200, AFP-300/AFP-400, AM2020, and System 5000 with AIM-200 run in CLIP mode only.

Introduction

Many FlashScan devices can be programmed to run in either CLIP or FlashScan mode. Use one of the following three options with SLC loops: 1. 2. Program all modules and detectors on an SLC as FlashScan. Program all modules and detectors on an SLC as CLIP.

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.

Program all detectors as CLIP and all modules as FlashScan on an SLC.

CAUTION: Do not program modules as CLIP and detectors as FlashScan on the same SLC. This combination does not work.

1.6.12 AMPS-24/E Addressable Power Supply

The AMPS-24/E is a primary power supply and battery charger. Depending on its configuration, it can occupy either one or four addresses on an SLC. FlashScan capable.

1.7 SLC Capacity

The protocol selected for an SLC loop determines the maximum number of devices that can be handled by the loop (see Section 1.5, Polling Protocols, on page 12). Within those limits, the individual control panel may have additional restrictions. See the specific installation manual for this information.

1.8 SLC Performance

SLC performance (Style 4, Style 6, or Style 7) depends on the configuration of the circuit and the components on the circuit (see Table 1.2). SLC operation meeting Style 7 requirements isolates each addressable device on the SLC from faults that may occur on the SLC. Wiring style requirements are determined by national and local codes. Consult with the Authority Having Jurisdiction before wiring the SLC. The table below (derived from NFPA 72-2002) lists the trouble conditions that result when a fault exists on an SLC. Additional information is broken out in Section 2, Wiring Requirements, on page 19, and Section 3, Shielded Wire Termination, on page 17.

Section 3: Shielded Wire Termination

3.1 Overview
This section shows the proper termination of the shield, if used. Shielding of the SLC is recommended for use with AFP-100, AFP-200, AFP-300/400, LIB-200, and AIM-200. Proper termination of the shield depends on the type of conduit used: Section 3.2, No Conduit. Section 3.3, Full Conduit (Canadian requirement). Section 3.4, Partial Conduit.

Shielding of the SLC is not recommended for use with NFS-320/E/C, NFS2-640/E, NFS-640/E, NFS2-3030, NFS-3030, LCM-320, LEM-320, LIB-200A or LIB-400. If twisted-shielded wire is used in one of these installations, use a floating shield to terminate the wire as shown in Section 3.5, Floating Shield, on page 29. Use of good wiring practice consistent with local electrical codes is expected.

3.2 No Conduit
For use with AFP-100, AFP-200, AFP-300/400, LIB-200, and AIM-200 only Scrape the paint on the cabinet to bare metal to provide a good electrical connection. Fold the foil and drain wire back over the cable jacket. Slide the cable into the connector clamp and secure. The drain wire should be connected to the connector screw. Do not allow the shield drain wire or foil to enter the system cabinet.

If using a metal box, you must use a metal conduit. Connect the shielded wire to the junction box by using a proper connector. Scrape the paint on the cabinet to bare metal to provide a good electrical connection. Connect the metal conduit between the junction box and the cabinet by using the proper connectors. Feed the twisted-pair wire into the junction box, through the conduit, into the cabinet box. Within the junction box, connect the appropriate wires together using wire nuts. Connect the shield drain wire to the junction box, at the end of the conduit run, as shown below. Do not allow the shield drain wire to enter the system cabinet or the conduit.

If twisted-shielded pair wire is used in these installations, use a floating shield to terminate the wire. The following precautions must be met: If the SLC is more than 3000 ft. (914.4 m), divide the shield into floating segments of less than 1000 ft. (304.8 m). To divide the shield wire into floating segments, cut shield even with jacket and tape as shown:
Tape

NOTE: Using shielded wire in applications where it is not recommended will reduce the maximum SLC length. If shielded wire must be used where not recommended, failing to float the ends will reduce the maximum SLC length even further.

Section 5: SLC Circuits with Isolators

5.1 Overview
There are two isolator devices used to protect critical elements of the FlashScan-mode or CLIPmode SLC loop from faults on other SLC branches or segments. Fault Isolator Module Isolator Detector Base B224BI

A Fault Isolator Module on both sides of a device, or the combination of an Isolator Base and Isolator Module are required to comply with NFPA Style 7 requirements.

CAUTION: 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 and/or Isolator Bases are connected from the AFP-300 or AFP-400 to an SLC loop, the address capacity of the loop is reduced by two (2) addresses for every isolator device in excess of 100. The address capacity of the loop is reduced by two (2) addresses for every isolator device in excess of 200 when the Isolator Modules and/or Isolator Bases are connected to the SLC loop from the NFS-320/E/C, NFS2-640/E, NFS2-3030, NFS-3030, NFS-640/E, AFP-100 or AFP-200.

5.2 Fault Isolator Module

The ISO-X module continuously monitors the circuit connected to terminals 3() and 4(+). Upon powerup, an integral relay is latched on. The module periodically pulses the coil of this relay. A short circuit 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 faulted branch from the remainder of the loop preventing a communication problem with all other addressable 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 automatically reapplies power to the SLC branch or segment.

Figure 5.1 Wiring the ISO-X Module

5.3 Isolator Detector Bases

Isolator detector bases prevent an entire communications loop from being disabled when a short circuit occurs. This is accomplished by isolating that part of the loop containing the short from the remainder of the circuit. These bases also automatically restore the entire loop when the cause of the short circuit is corrected. B224BI is an intelligent isolator base used with FlashScan detectors and most CLIP mode detectors.

5.3.1 How an Isolator Base Works

If a short circuit fault occurs at point X, devices A, B, C & detector 2 will cease to function and display a trouble warning at the control panel. Devices D, E, F & detectors 1, 3, 4, and 5 will remain normal as they are served by SLC Return. If a short circuit fault occurs at point Y, all devices will continue to function. If a short circuit fault occurs at point Z, only detector 4 will cease to function.

5.5 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 ISO-X fault isolator modules each group is protected from faults that may occur in the other groups. For example, a fault in Section B will not affect 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 ft. (6.1 m) of device and the wire must be enclosed in metal conduit.

5.6 NFPA Style 7 SLC Using an Isolating Device

Style 7 operation requires using a combination of isolator detector bases and isolator modules or isolator modules before and after a non-isolator 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 non-isolator base or pull station is used, install isolator modules on both sides of devices. When an isolator base is used in conjunction with an isolator module, install the isolator module as shown in Figure 9.3. There must be a close-nipple connection between a device and the isolator bases or modules that protect it.

Appendix A: Power Considerations

A.1 Supplying Power to 24 VDC Detectors and NACs
Resistance and Size To determine the maximum allowable resistance that can be tolerated in supplying power to 24 VDC four-wire devices and NACs, use the calculations below. These simplified equations assume that the devices are at the end of a long wire run. With the computed resistance and using the manufacturers specifications for the desired wire, select the proper gauge wire for the power run. For Four-Wire Detectors: Rmax = (Vms - Vom) (N)(Is) + (Na)(Ia) + (Ir)

For NACs: Rmax = (Vms - Vom) (Nb)(Ib)

Where: Rmax = maximum resistance of the 24 VDC wires Vms = minimum supply voltage (see Table A.1 below) 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 Notifier power supplies are listed below:

A.2 Supervising 24 VDC Power

There are options for supervising 24 VDC power, as discussed below. Using FlashScan Type Codes with Built-In Power Supervision (NFS2-3030 and NFS-3030 only) Power Supervision Relay Using the FCM-1 module without relay

A.2.1 Using Type Codes with Built-In Power Supervision on NFS2-3030 and NFS-3030
With LCM-320 revision 2.0 and higher, certain FlashScan type codes have external power supervision built into the software. For details, refer to Devices Requiring External Power Supervision in the NFS2-3030 Installation Manual or the NFS-3030 Installation Manual.

A.2.2 Power Supervision Relay

Power used to supply 24 VDC detectors, notification appliances (using the FCM-1) and two wire detectors (using the FZM-1) 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. 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 supervised circuit, so as to 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 or IDC circuit, either a two or a four-wire style. See Figure A.1 and Figure A.2. Refer to the Device Compatibility Document for compatible notification appliances and relays.

A.2.3 Using the Addressable Control Module Without Relay

An alternate method of supervising 24 VDC power fed to the Notification Appliance Circuit of the FCM-1 module eliminates the need for a power supervision relay. This method uses a Notification Appliance Circuit from the control panel or power supply to supply power to the FCM-1 modules. The control panel supervises this circuit, which can be either a Style Y or Style Z.

Style Y NAC Power Wiring

Program the NAC from the control panel for general alarm. (Refer to the programming manual or programming section of the FACP documentation for instructions.) Note that if the NAC is a coded output, the FCM-1 output will be coded as well. Refer to the Device Compatibility Document for compatible notification appliances. The circuit is supervised and power-limited. In this circuit, an external ELR is required at end of the NAC circuit. Refer to the respective control panel installation manual for NAC terminal block connection information and ELR value. Remove internal resistor on each FCM-1 (see instructions in Figure 7.2 on page 50).
