Control Panel Limitations The FW106 control panel may not show an alarm condition without compatible initiating devices (smoke detectors, etc.) and notification devices (horn, lights, etc.) connected to it. Electrical ratings of the initiation and notification appliances must be compatible with the electrical ratings of the control panel and must be properly interconnected. The wiring used for interconnection must be large enough to carry the total current for all appliances without excessive voltage drop. Please refer to Appendix-B: Wire Selection Guide for detail. The control panel must be connected to a dedicated primary electrical source that has a high degree of reliability and adequate capacity for this control panel. The means of disconnecting this power source shall be available only to authorized personnel and clearly marked "Fire Alarm Circuit Control". A battery set (24V) that has enough capacity to properly operate the system for 24 hours standby and 5 minutes alarm per UL864 10 th Edition (section 69.2.3 and 69.2.5) or as otherwise required by local codes and the AHJ must also be connected to the control panel. These batteries do lose capacity with age. Batteries must be replaced when they fail to provide the control panel with the required standby and alarm power or after 4 years, whichever happens first. These batteries must be checked for performance at least twice a year or more often, if local requirements dictate. Even though this control panel was made to last for the expected life of the fire alarm system, parts can fail at any time. Therefore, a regular test program should be followed and documented to make sure each part of the system is tested, as indicated in Chapter 7 of NFPA 72, or more often if dictated by local code requirements. Malfunctioning units must be replaced or repaired immediately by factory authorized service personnel. This control panel is designed to show an alarm condition when the initiating devices connected to it detects specific conditions. These conditions may or may not represent a life-threatening condition. Unneeded evacuation of a building or an area may subject individuals to an unnecessary hazard. Therefore, it is important that the building owner, manager, or representative promulgate, distribute, and/or post instructions describing steps to be taken when the fire alarm control panel signals an alarm condition. These instructions should be developed in co-operation with representatives of the local authority having jurisdiction and in accordance with the applicable standards. 1

INSTALLATION Cautions 1. Remove the PCB for any procedure that may cause dust, metal shavings, grease, or such matter to affect the operation of the boards or get in contact with the units. 2. Disconnect all sources of power prior to installing or removing modules, connecting or disconnecting wiring and programming jumpers. 3. Group the incoming wires through the top of the enclosure. For easy identification and neatness use a wire tie. 4. DO NOT insert cables through bottom of the box. This space is reserved for Batteries. Control Panel Location The control panel should be located near an exit at ground level where the normal ambient temperature is maintained within the control panel specification (see the General Specifications). The unit should be in an area free of dust, vibration, moisture, and condensation. Any auxiliary battery box or other accessory not connected through a protective device or a circuit designed for remote connection must be within 20 ft. and in the same room, connected through the electrical conduit. Control Panel Installation Notice The cabinet must be fastened securely to a clean, dry, shock-free, and vibration-free surface in a protected environment. Consider the following when mounting the cabinet: Mounting height for visual and manual access to the Display Board Weight and size of cabinet Local mounting codes When mounting the cabinet, position the cabinet clear of obstructions so that the door can open freely and indicators and controls are easily accessible. The fire alarm control panel must be mounted in a properly accessible location, as required by the applicable codes and the AHJ. Installation must be done by qualified personnel who have thoroughly read and who understands these instructions. 15

FW106 Mounting Space The FW106 cabinet can be surface-mounted or flush-mounted. The mounting space is shown in Figure 12. Do NOT flush mount in a wall designated as a fire separation. Figure 12 FW106 Enclosure Mounting Size 16

Cabinet Mounting To install the cabinet: Select a clean, dry, shock, and vibration-free surface in a protected environment. Position the cabinet clear of obstructions so that the front door opens freely and the controls and indicators are easily accessible. Mark the locations of the two upper mounting bolts of the cabinet on the wall. There are two key-shaped cutouts on the top of the back box. Make sure the end with the two key-shaped cutouts is on top when installing the back box. Drill the two holes marked in the previous step and screw in the top bolts, leaving a small gap between the wall and each top bolt. Choose a screw type and length able to support the control panel, options, and battery set. You may need a different screw type depending on the wall material. Place the cabinet over the two top bolts and allow it to slide down over the bolts. Mark, drill, and install the two bottom bolts in the cabinet. Tighten all four bolts securely against the back wall of the cabinet. Remove Knock-Outs Prepare the enclosure for electrical wiring by breaking out the appropriate conduit entry points. The optional knockout locations and quantities are shown in Figure 14. The power limited and non-power limited conductors must be separated. In order to maintain the minimum separation, follow the wire routing shown in Figure 14. At least 1/4 in. is required between the non-power limited and power limited conductors. Power limited and nonpower limited wiring must be run in a separate conduit. Attach conduit (if required) and run wires as required. Label each field cable for future reference. Basic system wiring and detector positioning must be done in accordance with NFPA 72 or other applicable codes and instructions from the appropriate local authority having jurisdiction. Unit connections and limitations are as indicated on the wiring diagrams included in the SYSTEM WIRING section of this manual. 18

The panel has a 24-hour Supv /Trouble Resound function. If the trouble condition is not corrected and the Supv/Trouble Resound Reminder timer has elapsed, the panel will re-annunciate the trouble condition. When the indicated trouble condition has been cleared, the system reverts to normal standby condition automatically. Supervisory Conditions In case of a supervisory condition, the system supervisory LED activates (ON flashing) and the buzzer activates in supervisory pattern. The LCD notes the supervisory event and the buzzer sounds in supervisory pattern. When the supervisory condition has occurred, pressing ACKNOWLEDGE button will silence the buzzer and change the supervisory LED to steady ON. 25

If the panel is configured for Supv/Trouble Resound Reminder, when the supervisory condition is not corrected and the Supv/Trouble Resound Reminder timer has elapsed, the panel will re-annunciate the supervisory condition. Device, Appliance Handling NAC Activation and Silence The notification appliance circuits are controlled by a microprocessor to provide more versatility than in a total hardware system. Output Sounding Patterns - Notification appliance circuits are operable in Temporal pattern. Audible Silence Inhibit - Control panel may be programmed to inhibit audible silence from 0 to 20 minutes from the last alarm. All of the NACs are power limited and support synchronization of the listed devices. The open, short, and grounding troubles of notification appliance circuit are monitored. Device Supervision Device type supervision: If the type reported by an addressable detector or module does not agree with the configuration, the system reports a trouble condition. Device address supervision: The system checks that the configured devices on the Addressable Device Circuit and the Serial Interface Circuit respond to an address poll. The system reports a trouble condition if one of the following conditions is detected: Configured device is missing. Unconfigured device is installed. Two or more devices are programmed with the same address location (this trouble is only detected by manually checking). Detector Monitor The control panel processor polls the detectors for their status. The detector determines normal, trouble, and alarm conditions and communicates the status to the control panel. The control panel can automatically trigger an alarm or a trouble for various conditions, including: Active Illegal Wrong Type Missing Address Conflict General Trouble Sensing Error Contamination Please refer to the Trouble Conditions section for more detail on each event type. 26

Manual Station Response Addressable manual stations may be intermixed on the circuit with proper response programmed into the control panel. The alarm response time when pressing the manual station is less than 1.2 sec. Drift Compensation The Drift Compensation is built into a compatible detector and is not performed by the panel. Drift compensation automatically adjusts for gradually increasing effects of dust and other accumulations of dirt in the detectors. It will adjust the thresholds to compensate for a detector going dirty according to the gradual change in the normal clean air value received. When it can no longer compensate for an increasingly dirty detector, a dirty detector trouble (Contamination trouble) is indicated for that device. Alarm Verification The Alarm Verification function is supported by this panel. One typical alarm verification phase can be divided into 2 periods. The first period is a retard period in which no alarm reports on the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). The second period is a confirmation period in which alarm reports on the Fire Alarm Control Panel if a device is in alarm status. The detail alarm verification phase is illustrated in Figure 19. Figure 19 Alarm Verification A - Smoke detector goes into alarm. (LED on device turns to steady on) AB - Retard Period: Fire Alarm Control Panel senses detector in alarm and delays alarm signal for 50s. During this period, no alarm event reports on the Fire Alarm Control Panel. BC - Confirmation Period: Detector is operational for alarm at point B. If the detector is still in alarm at point B, the Fire Alarm Control Panel will report an alarm. If the detector is not in alarm, the system returns to standby. If the detector re-alarms at any time during the confirmation period the Fire Alarm Control Panel will alarm. The period length is 60s. CD Restart next alarm verification period if new alarm occurs. 27

Event History The control panel includes a non-volatile memory recording 5000 events, plus a separate 1000 alarm-only events. Identified alarm, trouble, supervisory, status, and other significant events will be recorded along with the date and time of occurrence. These can be viewed by operating the front panel push buttons. To recall past events, proceed as follows: Press the MENU button. On the MENU display, select Archive. Press the Enter button. Use the up button next to the LCD to see the previous event display. Use the down button next to the LCD to see the next event display. The history record rule is: New events overwrite old events when filled. The events are sorted by time occurrence sequence. Events recorded in the history are: Alarm, Trouble, Supervisory, and Monitor conditions Alarm silence/resound System reset System startup Enable/disable function Start and stop of Walk Test Trouble/supervisory reminder Trouble/supervisory restored to normal 28

System Checkout The following are the recommended steps that should be followed before and during the powering up of the FW106. Before Turning the Power ON 1. To prevent sparking, DO NOT connect the battery first. Connecting the batteries should only be done once the system has been powered from the main AC Supply. 2. Check all field (external) wiring for opens, shorts, and ground. 3. Check that all interconnection cables are secure and that all connectors are plugged in properly. 4. Check all switches for proper setting. 5. Check the AC power wiring for proper connection. Observe/check slide switch position. 6. Close the front cover plate before powering the system from main AC supply. Power-up Procedure 1. Once the Before Turning the Power ON procedure is done, power-up the panel. The green AC ON LED should illuminate. Since the batteries are not connected, the Battery Trouble LED should illuminate, the Trouble LED should flash, and the Trouble Relay (on the main board) will be active. 2. Connect the batteries while observing correct polarity; the red wire is positive (+) and the black wire is negative (-). All indicators should extinguish except for normal power AC ON green LED. 50
