DO NOT modify any electrical or mechanical features. DO comply with all codes and standards set forth by the Authority Having Jurisdicti The term Authority Having Jurisdicti has become a standard term in the fire alarm industry. An acceptable definiti of Authority Having Jurisdicti is: Fire alarm systems installed in the USA fall under the jurisdicti of some authority. In some areas, this may be a local fire department; in other areas, it may be a building inspector, insurance firm, etc. Different authorities may have their own local requirements for the way the fire alarm system is installed and used. Most local authorities based their requirements the NFPA (Natial Fire Protecti Associati) codes, but there may be important differences. You must install this system in the way in which the Authority Having Jurisdicti requires. If you do not know which authority has jurisdicti in your area, ctact your local fire department or building inspector for guidance. It is important that you tell users to be aware of any requirements defined by the Authority Having Jurisdicti. The installati MUST be in accordance with the following standards: Natial Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72) Natial Electrical Code (NFPA 70) Life Safety Code (NFPA 101) WARNING: Touching compents, which are improperly installed, applied or! operated, could be hazardous and possibly fatal. Short circuits could cause arcing that could result in molten metal injuries. Therefore, ly qualified technicians familiar with electrical hazards should perform checkout procedures. Safety glasses should be worn, and test equipment used for voltage measurements should be designed for this purpose and be in good working order. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS It is important that this equipment be operated within its specificatis Recommended operating temperature range: 60 to 80 F (15 to 27 C) Absolute maximum operating temperature range: 32 to 120 F (0 to 49 C) Operating humidity: not to exceed 85%, n-cdensing at 90 F (32 C) Operating this equipment within the recommended temperature range will extend the useful life of the system standby batteries. II

4 INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS Check that you have all the equipment you need to complete the installati. Follow the field wiring diagrams and installati notes in this manual. Install the equipment in a clean, dry envirment (minimal dust). Avoid installing the equipment where vibratis will occur. Remove all electric assemblies prior to drilling, filing, reaming, or punching the enclosure. When possible, make all cable entries from the side, being careful to separate the power limited cductors form the n-power limited cductors. Before making modificatis, verify that they will not interfere with battery, transformer, and printed circuit board locati. Do not over tighten screw terminals. Over tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal ctact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal. Discnect all sources of power before servicing, removing, or inserting any circuit board. Ctrol unit and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, subassemblies, or intercnecting cables while the unit is energized. WIRING CONSIDERATIONS This fire alarm ctrol panel ctains power-limited circuits. You cannot cnect external sources of power to these circuits without invalidating their approval. Verify that wiring sizes are adequate for all initiating device and notificati appliance circuits. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% drop from the specified voltage. The installer must ensure that the wiring and devices installed in the system meet the current Natial Electrical Code, NFPA 70, and all applicable state and local building code requirements. Use the cductor size and type required by local codes. (See NFPA 70, Article 760). Wiring resistance must not be more than that shown the field wiring diagrams. To reduce errors and help in servicing the system, all cductors should be labeled or otherwise coded and logged at installati to identify circuit assignment and polarity. If the cductors are logged with a code, keep the log that explains the code with the manual, so that it is available to other people working the panel. Like all solid state electric devices, this system may operate erratically or be damaged when subjected to lightning induced transients. Although no system is completely immune to lightning transients and interference, proper grounding will reduce susceptibility. FCI does not recommend the use of overhead or outside aerial wiring due to the increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Csult with the FCI Technical Support Department if any problems are anticipated or encountered. To prevent the spread of fire, use proper patching materials to areas where system wiring passes through fire-rated walls or floors. SURVIVABILITY Per the Natial Fire Alarm Code, NFPA 72, all circuits necessary for the operati of the notificati appliances shall be protected until they enter the evacuati signaling ze that they serve. Any of the following methods shall be csidered acceptable as meeting these requirements: (1) A 2-hour rated cable or cable system (2) A 2-hour rated enclosure (3) Performance alternatives approved by Authority Having Jurisdicti MAINTENANCE To keep your fire alarm system in excellent working order, going maintenance is required per the manufacturer s recommendatis and UL and NFPA Standards, and applicable state and local codes. At a minimum, the requirements of Chapter 7 of NFPA, the Natial Fire Alarm Code, shall be followed. A preventative maintenance agreement should be arranged through the manufacturer s local representative. Though smoke detectors are designed for lg life, they may fail at any time. Any smoke detector, fire alarm system, or any compent of that system shall be repaired or replaced immediately. III

5 SYSTEM RE-ACCEPTANCE TEST To ensure proper system operati, this product must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72, Chapter 7. Re-acceptance testing is required after any modificati, repair, or adjustment to system hardware, wiring, or programming. All compents, circuits, or system operatis known to be affected by a change must be 100% tested. In additi, to ensure that other operatis 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 operati verified. Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible with the ctrol panel. It is essential to use ly equipment Listed for service with the ctrol panel. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS The equipment was tested according to EC directive 89/336/EEC for Class A equipment and was verified to the limits and methods of EN FCC WARNING: This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with this instructi manual, may cause interference to radio communicatis. It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class A computing devices pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which is designed to provide reasable protecti against such interference when operated in a commercial envirment. Operati of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. If these instructis are not clear, or if additial informati or clarificati is needed, please csult your local authorized Fire Ctrol Instruments, Inc. distributor. Because of design changes and product improvements, the informati in this manual will be subject to change without notice. FCI reserves the right to change hardware and/or software design, which may subsequently affect the ctents of this manual. FCI assumes no respsibility for any errors that may appear in this manual. Neither this manual nor any part of it may be reproduced without the advance written permissi of Fire Ctrol Instruments, Inc. LIMITATIONS OF FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS FCI recommends that smoke and/or heat detectors be located throughout the protected premises following the recommendatis of the current editi of the Natial Fire Protecti Associati Standard 72, the Natial Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72), manufacturer s recommendatis, State and local codes, and the recommendatis ctained in the Guide for the Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no charge to all installing dealers. A study by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (an agency of the United States government) indicated that smoke detectors may not go into alarm or give early warning in as many as 35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are designed to provide warning against fire, they do not guarantee warning or protecti against fire. Any alarm system is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reass. For example: Particles of combusti or smoke from a developing fire may not reach the sensing chambers of a smoke detector because: - Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, or chimneys may inhibit air flow. - Smoke particles may become cold and stratify, and may 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. In general, smoke detectors e level of a structure cannot be expected to sense fires developing another level. 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 locati of detectors, the detectors will not go into alarm. IV

6 Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have sensing limitatis. Detectors that have photoelectric sensing chambers tend to detect smoldering fires earlier than flaming fires, which have little visible smoke. Detectors that have iizati-type sensing chambers tend to detect fast flaming fires earlier 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 are subject to unwanted or nuisance alarms. For example, a smoke detector located in or near a kitchen may go into nuisance alarm during normal operati of kitchen appliances. In additi, dusty or steamy envirments may cause a smoke detector to alarm unnecessarily. If the locati of a smoke detector causes an abundance of unwanted or nuisance alarms, do not discnect the smoke detector; call a professial to analyze the situati and recommend a soluti. Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate warning of a fires caused by ars, children playing with matches (especially in bedrooms), smoking in bed, violent explosis (caused by escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, etc.). Heat detectors do not sense particles of combusti and are designed to alarm ly when heat their sensors increase at a predetermined rate or reaches a predetermined level. Heat detectors are designed to protect property, not life. Warning devices (including horns, sirens, bells, and speakers) may not alert people or awaken sleepers who are located the other side of closed or partially open doors. A warning device that activates a different floor or level of a dwelling or structure is less likely to awaken or alert people. Even perss who are awake may not notice the warning if the alarm is muffled by noise from a stereo, radio, air cditier or other appliance, or by passing traffic. Audible warning devices may not alert the hearing-impaired (strobes or other devices should be provided to warn these people). Any warning device may fail to alert people with a disability, deep sleepers, people who have recently used alcohol or drugs, or people medicati or sleeping pills. Please note that: 1) Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures in people with cditis such as epilepsy. 2) Studies have shown that certain people, even when they hear a fire alarm signal, do not respd or comprehend the meaning of the signal. It is the property owner s respsibility to cduct fire drills and other training exercises to make people aware of the fire alarm signals and instruct the proper reacti to alarm signals. 3) In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can cause temporary or permanent hearing loss. Telephe lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central stati may be out of service or temporarily out of service. For added protecti against telephe line failure, backup radio transmissi systems are recommended. System compents, though designed to last many years, can fail at any time. As a precautiary measure, it is recommended that smoke detectors be checked, maintained, and replaced per manufacturer s recommendatis. System compents will not work without electrical power. If system batteries are not serviced or replaced regularly, they may not provide adequate standby when AC power fails. Envirments with high air velocity or that are dusty or dirty require more frequent maintenance. In general, fire alarm systems and devices will not work without power and will not functi properly unless they are maintained and tested regularly. While installing a fire alarm system may make the owner eligible for a lower insurance rate, a fire alarm system is not a substitute for insurance. Property owners should ctinue to act prudently in protecting the premises and the people the premises and should properly insure life and property and buy sufficient amounts of liability insurance to meet their needs.

Maximum alarm current from 31 AH batteries must not exceed 9A. Maximum alarm current from 55AH batteries must not exceed 20A. Page 35 of 46

42 3.3.2 Amplifier Cnectis Figure 3-13 Amplifier Cnectis Upper and lower Boards Note: The low-level input and high-level output "P" cnectors are primarily for in-cabinet applicatis where the wiring to or from the amplifier remains in the same cabinet. For "multiplecabinet" applicatis, hardwire the systems using terminal blocks P3 and P8. When more than e cabinet is required, cabinets must be mounted adjacent to each other and all intercnecting wiring must be installed in cduit. Note: Cut resistor R100 to enable high-level audio output wiring supervisi. Output supervisi is always required in the AA-100. This opti is ly required in the AA-120 when output wiring leaves the cabinet. Note: If the amplifier is being used in stand-ale mode (no cnecti to an INI-VGE) where the backup te generator is being used, R107 must be cut to prevent the amplifier from generating a trouble cditi. The amplifier will indicate trouble within 90 secds. See Figure NOTE: Cnectis between amplifiers are supervised against opens, shorts and grounds. However, all these cditis will be displayed as Power amp. short. Page 36 of 46

43 Figure 3-13 Stand Ale Operati Adjusting Audio Gain Level A multi-positi rotary switch allows the installer to adjust the gain of the audio output signal to compensate for audio line losses. After correct adjustment, the audio amplifier will produce its maximum rated output power. See Figure 3-14 To adjust: After complete installati of all amplifiers and associated circuitry, with the low-level audio input to the amplifier set for normal standby, use a small slotted screwdriver to positi the rotary switch until the NORMAL LEVEL LED is lit and the INCORRECT LEVEL LED is off. At this point, the audio gain is properly adjusted. NOTE: Ensure that a 470-ohm impedance matching resistor has been installed the last amplifier (P3 Terminals 1 and 2). Failure to do so will result in calibrati difficulty. Figure 3-14 Page 37 of 46
