Fire Alarm System LimitationsWhile a fire alarm system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for fire insurance!An automatic fire alarm system—typically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control panel with remote notification capability—can provide early warning of a develop-ing 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 detec-tors be located throughout a protected premise following the recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire Protection Association Standard 72-1999 (NFPA 72-1999), 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 Emer-gency 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 sys-tem 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 ion-izing-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 predeter-mined 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 pro-tection 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 sys-tem for the connection of alarm transmission wiring, communi-cations, signaling, and/or power. If detectors are not so located, a developing fire may damage the alarm system, crip-pling 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 medica-tion. 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 responsi-bility 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 com-patible with the control panel. It is essential to use only equip-ment 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 tele-phone line failure, backup radio transmission systems are rec-ommended.

The most common cause of fire alarm malfunction is inade-quate 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 stan-dards. At a minimum, the requirements of Chapter 7 of NFPA 72-1999 shall be followed. Environments with large amounts of dust, dirt or high air velocity require more frequent mainte-nance. 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 pro-fessional fire alarm installers only. Adequate written records of all inspections should be kept.

Installation PrecautionsAdherence 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. The control unit and asso-ciated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or insert-ing cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to install, service, or operate this unit until this manual is read and understood.

CAUTION - System Reacceptance Test after Software Changes. To ensure proper system operation, this product must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72-1999 Chapter 7 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 modifi-cation, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring.

All components, circuits, system operations, or software func-tions known to be affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addition, to ensure that other operations are not inadvert-ently 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 ver-ified.

This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0°C to 49°C (32°F to 120°F) and at a relative humidity (noncon-densing) of 85% at 30°C (86°F) per NFPA, and 93% ± 2% at 32°C ± 2°C (89.6°F ± 1.1°F) per ULC. However, the useful life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic compo-nents may be adversely affected by extreme temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that this system and all peripherals be installed in an environment with a nominal room temperature of 15-27° C/60-80° F.

Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indi-cating 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 light-ning-induced transients. Although no system is completely immune from lightning transients and interferences, proper grounding will reduce susceptibility. Overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended, due to an increased sus-ceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Techni-cal 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 modifi-cations, verify that they will not interfere with battery, trans-former, and printed circuit board location.

Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced ter-minal contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal.

Though designed to last many years, system components can fail at any time. 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 pro-gramming manuals. These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to the control panel and associated equipment. FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper installation by authorized personnel.

1.6 NION Hardware Connections - SMX Network Connection

The UniNet® 2000 facilities monitoring system is distributed via a LonWorks™ network. This high-speed network allows communication between field nodes and a Local Area Server or BCI. NION modules provide the communica-tion links between monitored equipment and the network.

Connections

One twisted pair of wires or dedicated fiber-optic cable is used for data transmission in the UniNet® 2000 network.The wire must have the following specifications:

• Twisted pair cable.

• UL listed for use in a power-limited fire-detection system (if used in conjunction with a fire monitoring network).

• Riser, plenum, or non-plenum cable, according to local fire alarm wiring codes.

Fiber optic segments require fiber that has the following specifications:• Multimode.

• 62.5/125 µm

SMX Network Transceivers

Connection of the network wiring to the NION is made via an SMX transceiver. The network SMX transceiver daugh-ter board is a component of every NION. This transceiver provides the network medium interface for NION network communication.

There are four styles of SMX transceivers: FTXC for Free Topology wire bus and star, S7FTXC for style seven wiring requirements, FOXC for fiber point-to-point and DFXC for bi-directional fiber. The proper transceiver must be ordered separately for the specific medium it is to utilize.

Mount the transceiver appropriate for your network to the NION mother board using the header strip and two stand-offs. Refer to the NION-NPB board layout diagram for the placement of the SMX transceivers.

NOTES:• Use only wire for power limited systems. Power limited wire runs use type FPLR, FPLP, FPL or equiva-lent cabling per NEC 760.• All non-fiber network connections are transformer isolated, making all network communication immune to ground fault conditions. Therefore, no ground fault supervision of the Echelon network is required or provided.• It is recommended that the installer conform to local code requirements when installing all wiring. All power connections must be non-resettable. Refer to the current Notifier catalog for specific part num-bers and ordering information for each NION.

FTXC Network Transceivers

The FTXC transceiver allows up to 8,000 feet (2438.4 m) per segment in a point-to-point configuration, up to 6,000 feet (1828.8 m) per segment in a dedicated bus configuration, or up to 1,500 feet (457.2 m) per segment in a star configuration. Each segment can support 64 nodes, and with routers, the system can be expanded up to 200 nodes.

Figure 1-4: FTXC Network Transceiver

S7FTXC (Style-7) Network Transceiver

The S7FTXC combines two interface ports that allow the transceiver to meet Style-7 wiring requirements. The two ports on the S7FTXC, when used with true style-7 wiring requirements, create a point-to-point type network segment allowing up to 8,000 feet between nodes that use the S7FTXC. The separate FT ports allow two twisted pair connec-tions so that a cabling fault on one segment will not affect the other.

The S7FTXC has four diagnostic LEDs that are visible when the board is installed onto a NION.• Packet - Blinks when a packet is received or transmitted.

• Status - Blinks steadily when no network traffic is present, and blinks rapidly when processing.

• P1 ERR and P2 ERR - These LEDs (P1 for Port1, P2 for Port 2) denote error conditions when they blink.NOTE: The S7FTXC temporarily stops processing when an error occurs. This suppresses noise propagation throughout the network.

For more information about Style-7 network configuration refer to the Local Area Server manual 51544.

NOTE: Refer to the Network Installation manual 51539 for more information about FT and bus termination.

It displays NION and Panel information in expandable menus the same way Windows™ Explorer displays the file system in expandable file folders.

2.2 Registering and Opening the AutoCall Explorer

To open the AutoCall Explorer application from the UniNet® 2000 workstation, it must first be properly registered with the appropriate NION type. The Workstation will automatically register the NION plug-in on the Workstation’s initial startup. If the NION needs to be manually registered, follow these steps:

• From the Workstation (UWS), go to the Workstation Configuration menu and select NION Applications. Locate the NION Type drop-down box. Scroll through the drop-down list and select the NION-AutoCall AL1500/AC2. Click the CHANGE button on the form. This will cause a dialogue box to be displayed with the names of all available configuration files. Select AutoCall.cfg and then click the OPEN button. Finally, click DONE to end the registration process.

• From the UWS, go to the Tools menu and click on Node Control Selection. Take control of the node by clicking on the node number for the NION-AutoCall AL1500/AC2, and then click on Activate Control For This Node. Click the DONE button to end the process.

Once the AutoCall plug-in is registered, it is opened by right-clicking on any icon associated with the AutoCall NION node and selecting AutoCall AL1500/AC2 Explorer from the pop-up menu.

2.3 Initial Events From AutoCall Panel Devices

When an AutoCall panel device initially causes an event to come into the Workstation, the Workstation assigns that device an Unknown device icon - a question mark. AutoCall panel devices must have their device types configured manually. For more information, see the Workstation manual, 51540.
