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 system—typically made up of

smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control with remote notification capability—can 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.

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.

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.

Smoke detectors must be installed in

the same room as the control panel. 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.

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. 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

(3)

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. 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 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.

(4)

Installation Precautions

Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:

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 this manual is read and

understood.

System Reaccepting Test after Software

Changes. To ensure proper system operation, this product

must be tested after any programming operation or change in site-specific software.

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.

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 interferences, 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, and printed circuit board location.

3.6Equipment Debugging

3.6.1Connection Inspection

y Visually inspect the control panel condition y Visually inspect the external connection ports

y Open the control panel and visually inspect all connections. Confirm connections are correct, that there are no loose connections, no short circuits, unplugged or

(25)

disconnected connectors as well as confirm the power supply does not have any short circuit trouble.

y Visually inspect the jumpers in the circuit to confirm there are no duplicate numbers.

3.6.2Power-on Inspection

After you have finished the visual inspection, power-on the battery power supply. With the battery started a buzzer should be heard and the LCD should temporarily function normally. Once the control panel enters normal operation status, a buzzer and LED horn/strobe will indicate a troubled status because main power is not connected. Power-down and disconnect the battery power supply then connect and power on the main power supply. Once the control panel enters normal operation status, a buzzer and LED horn/strobe will indicate a troubled status because the battery power supply is not connected. At this time, connect the battery power supply. Soon after the control panel will return to normal operating status.

During normal operation, if both the main and battery power supplies are connected the power supply status lamp (on the main panel of the control panel) will maintain normal illumination.

When the main power supply fails because of loss of power, poor power connection, an over-voltage or under-voltage of 5V and 24V, or a short circuit with rack earth and communication trouble with the mainframe, the power supply status lamp (on main panel of the control panel) illumination will stop. Then both a buzzer and LED horn/strobe will indicate a troubled status while additional information will be shown on the control panel LCD.

3.6.3External Connection

Look for any short-circuits or disconnections to and from the control panel. Once everything has been inspected, connect the control panel.

Batch installation -- connecting 10-20 detectors or modules on the loop per time -- is highly recommended. After installing the detectors or modules restart the control panel to ensure the newly installed devices are recognized and installed correctly. If the control panel gives a trouble signal recheck the circuit and addressable devices are installed properly. Once the trouble signal has been solved, continue batch installation and power testing. After all the devices have been installed, the simulated trouble, fire alarm and CBE event functions maybe tested. Confirm that the control panel alarms normally, properly links field equipment and accurately prints corresponding alarm information. Continue testing and adjusting until panel maintains normal operating status.

3.6.4Important Points

y Avoid touching the circuit board IC chip during installation y Pay attention to polarity during connection and installation

(26)

y Before starting the system, check for short circuits, disconnection or reverse polarity

y Connectors among leads shall be wielded and inter-line insulation shall be guaranteed.

3.6.5Inspection Methods for Addressable Device

Connections

To test the function of the multi-meter, connect the loop in reverse polarity (the positive pole connects with the loop negative and the negative pole connects with the loop positive). The multi-meter should indicate a bias value for the diode. Then connect the multi-meter normally (positive pole connects with the loop positive and negative pole connects with the loop negative). The multi-meter should indicate a low resistance value that increases with the charging of the loop capacitor. If after proper polarity connection the multi-meter still indicates a bias value for the diode, there is one or more addressable device(s) connected in reverse polarity.

This option controls both the point and card level settings. The card level setting determines the preferential times while the point level setting determines whether the point needs the preferential in-process check. The loop card will carry out preferential in-process checks on the load points where “Preferential in-process check” has been activated.

Line 5: Style 4 Wiring - “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” The system default status is “ (YES).” Using style 4 wiring the circuit status can be monitored through the ring circuit line voltage. The system will detect differences between the positive and negative circuits to monitor if a disconnection trouble within the loop occurs. If the wiring connection does not use style 4 configuration, the mainframe will report a disconnection trouble.

Line 6: Local Mode - “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” If “ (YES)” is selected, the local CBE setting will be effective within the loop.

Line 7: Silenceable - “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” This option controls both the point and card level settings. By programming definition the point level setting is the same as the card level setting. When “ (YES)” is chosen and a horn/strobe alarm or alarm bell activates, the user can press 【Signals Silenced】 on main panel of the control panel to silence the alarmed equipment. If “ (NO)” is selected, the user cannot silence the alarmed equipment using the 【Signals Silenced】 button.

Line 8: Address Conflict - “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” If “ (YES)” is selected, during inspection the system will search for device address duplications within a loop. If duplication is found, the panel will show a prompt with further instructions. If “ (NO)” is chosen, the detector will not report duplicate addresses.

Line 9: L+ Ground Fault Detect - “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” When “ (YES)” is selected and a positive end of the loop is grounded, the system will report positive

(48)

end grounding trouble. If “ (NO)” is chosen, the system will not report positive end grounding trouble.

There are three function keys, “Sync,” “Save,” and “Quit” in the status bar. The “Sync” button allows the operator to download parameter settings (both card level and point level settings). The “Save” button saves the changes that have been selected. The “Quit” button allows the user to quit without saving the changes.

5.3.1.2Auto Programming

Note: Different detector models will have different corresponding alarm thresholds even when the control panel setting is the same. See Appendix A for details. • Coincident Address Code: “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” If “ (YES)” is selected,

during inspection the system will search for device address duplications within a loop. If duplication is found, the panel will show a prompt with further instructions. If “ (NO)” is chosen the system will not report duplicate addresses.

• Walk Test: “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” If “ (YES)” is selected, pressing the 【Self-test】 key on the mainframe will cause the system to inspect all connected devices within the loop. During inspection all verification lamps will be normally illuminated. If a verification lamp does not illuminate, that device has failed inspection. If “ (NO)” is selected, the condition shall be opposite.

(51)

• Local Mode: “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” The factory default setting is “ (NO).” This option controls both the point and card level settings. By programming definition the point level setting is the same as the card level setting. If the loop card and mainframe have a communication failure all selected modules (degradation mode) will automatically output a fire alarm signal.

• Silenceable: “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” When “ (YES)” is chosen and a horn/strobe alarm or alarm bell activates, the user can press 【Signals Silenced】 on main panel of the control panel to silence the alarmed equipment. If “ (NO)” is selected, the user cannot silence the alarmed equipment using the 【Signals Silenced】 button.

• Switch Inhibited: “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” When “ (YES)” is chosen manual output point operation is inhibited.

• Resetable: “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” When “ (YES)” is selected, the equipment will automatically reset all output signals when the system is reset.

• Drift Compensation: “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” When “ (YES)” is selected, the system will restrain individual sensors from automatically performing drift compensation.

• Rapid Polling: “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” When “ (YES)” is selected, the system will increase the frequency of in-process inspection on the loop thus increasing the sensitivity of the equipment.

• Alarm Verification: “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” When “ (YES)” is selected, there will be an adjustable delay in the alarm period after a preliminary alarm has registered, allowing time for the alarm to be verified before sending a general alarm. Should an alarm condition still exist after verification, the panel will then go into alarm. Verification time is adjustable (in second’s intervals) and can be customized by using the edit feature on the right side of the alarm verification label.
