SFC-500 Series Installation and Operation Manual Conventions Circuits Refers to a physical electrical interface for the analog loop, indicating signals or relays, and common alarm, supervisory, and trouble relay outputs. Zone/Group Is a logical concept for a Fire Alarm Protected Area, and will consist of at least one Circuit. Groups are used extensively in the SFC-500 Series to facilitate annunciation of multiple input and output points on the 32 (up to 64) LED display and to facilitate bypassing of inputs and outputs. Display Points The SFC-500 Series provides an LCD display to annunciate the status of the system and connected devices. The FX-351 also provides up to 64 LED display points on the panel front in addition to the LCD display. Display points may be assigned to LEDs during configuration to groups of inputs or outputs. There are two LEDs for every display point: one single color (amber) and one dual color (red/amber). Wiring Styles The analog loop can be connected in Class B (Style Y) or Class A (Style D) configurations. Changing the indicating circuits to Class A requires an SOCA-204 adder board which will convert four indicating zones from Class B (Style Y) circuits to Class A (Style Z). This is done without reducing the number of circuits. Note: The Model SFC-500-60DR panels DO NOT recognize any devices with addresses higher than 60. 3

SFC-500 Series Installation and Operation Manual Circuits and Devices Addressable/Analog Devices The SFC-500 supports up to 3 loops of addressable/analog devices. The device loop can be used to connect up to 60, 126 or 378 analog devices and addressable input or output modules on an unshielded twisted pair (UTP). The devices must be compatible with the Summit device protocol. The loop interface software continuously supervises the devices on its loop against those found during configuration for the following conditions: device missing unconfigured device responding two or more devices responding to the same address wrong device type A communication or addressing error on a device is reported as a trouble on the associated zone LED if configured. The addressable loop can be configured for class A or B operation. "T-tapping" is allowed (Refer to device installation documentation for details). A short or open on the loop will activate the common trouble sequence with a latching trouble. Devices on the loop have an optional LED which normally flashes when the device is polled and goes ON steady when the device is active (alarm for an input device or active for an output device). The flashing of the LED on polling for sensors can be suppressed during configuration. For input or output modules, the LED always flashes when polling. The software limits the maximum number of the devices which can have their LED turned ON when active to fifteen (15). Certain devices are designed to support an optional external LED, which operates when the LED on the device is activated. Remote/external LEDs must NOT be used on this system. The panel can provide up to 350mA of current to the devices on the loop. A maximum line loss of 5 volts is permitted, so the loop distance, wire size, and maximum number of devices are limited by this constraint. The device currents are as follows: DEVICE CURRENTS (ua) Device Quiescent Alarm Inrush Ionization 280 2280 1000 Photoelectric 340 4340 1000 Multi-sensor (Photoelectric/Thermal) 470 3470 1000 Heat 250 2250 1000 Priority Switch Monitor 600 4600 2500 Mini Priority Switch Monitor 600 4600 2800 Single Relay Output 850 4850 3000 Supervised Output 1000 1000 6000 Isolator 35 35 0 The devices should be installed using unshielded twisted pair (UTP). The currents above may be used to calculate the total line drop on the loop, which must not exceed 5 volts worst-case at the last device. The calculations required to determine the maximum permissible loop wiring distance with various combinations of devices is relatively complicated, and when isolators are used, includes a consideration of device inrush currents which must not exceed 20mA for a single isolator. In no case should more that twenty devices be connected to a single isolator. To simplify the calculation process, please utilize the loop calculator program located on the Summit website at http:/www.summit-st.net in order to determine maximum loop lengths, number of devices, and wire sizes etc. It is also important to note that the device LEDs present a significant extra load on the loop which must be considered in calculating permissible loop lengths, battery capacities, etc. Please refer to the device Installation 17

Circuits and Devices Instructions and other documentation provided with the addressable devices, bases, and isolators for further information. The system will automatically limit the maximum number of device LEDs which can be illuminated to 15. Analog Devices The system supports Summit SI-200 Series photo, ion, multi-sensor and thermal (heat) type analog detectors, as well as contact input and output devices. The detectors may be configured as non-verified or verified alarm inputs. To determine an alarm condition, the system polls the analog device and compares the analog value against stored thresholds for pre-alarm and alarm conditions. A range of thresholds is provided for each type of analog device (except for contact devices), corresponding to the agency approved range of threshold for a particular device type. Each device can be individually configured to a value in the range of threshold for day time and one for the night time or after hours operation; i.e. a device may be configured to a low sensitivity for day time and high sensitivity at night time. The day time threshold will be used unless the after hours operation is active. Drift Compensation The SFC-500 will automatically adjust for gradually increasing affects 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 is indicated for that device. Auto Test Periodically each detector is commanded to return an alarm value to test its ability to alarm. If it fails the test, a trouble is indicated on that device. This trouble is latched until system reset. Contact Inputs Contact input modules on the addressable/analog device loop may be configured as any of the following input types: non-verified alarm inputs waterflow inputs non-latching supervisory inputs latching supervisory inputs monitor inputs trouble only inputs remote switch inputs Contact Outputs Contact output modules on the addressable/analog device loop may be configured as any of the following output types: signals strobes relay outputs Analog devices may be installed with relay or sounder bases. The outputs of these bases are activated when the device active LED turns ON steady in response to an alarm. The command to activate the output is separate from the command that activates the LED and they are not subject to the same restrictions as the LED. Output modules configured as signals are not stroked by software at the current signal rate. When the system commands them to be either in alert or in evacuation, the panel will simply activate them continuously. It is possible to provide stroked operation by connecting the signal power to a conventional signal output which is stroking at the correct rate when the device is active. Depending on the device, the system can detect open and short troubles and report it as an output circuit trouble. 18

Loop Isolators To limit the number of addressable devices compromised by a short on the addressable loop, isolators (SIM-100X, 100XH, or 100XB) may be used to isolate the affect of the short circuit. If the impact of a short circuit must be limited to only one device, an isolating base must be used for each detector. A maximum of twenty devices can be connected between isolators, or between the panel and the first isolator, as long as the maximum in-rush current for the devices on one segment of the loop does not exceed 20mA. Refer to the installation instructions for addressable devices for additional details. 19

When a Class A loop is opened there may be a few missing devices reported by the panel which will be restored once the panel has established the Class A connection. Note: When there is an "Open loop trouble" look for both open and shorts on the loop. As a guideline, the isolators which are activated in response to a short will have their LED ON; look for the short between the two isolators with their LEDs ON. 20

SFC-500 Series Installation and Operation Manual Indicating (Powered Output) Circuits Powered output circuits can be configured as signal, strobe or relay outputs. Powered output circuits are supervised while they are not active for both open circuits and shorts. The circuit will not actually be activated if there is a short trouble on the circuit. It will be activated if an open trouble is indicated. A circuit trouble activates the common trouble sequence as a non-latching trouble. Since open circuit supervision does not operate while the circuit is in alarm, if the circuit was in trouble before it was activated, it will still indicate trouble while active. The trouble condition will be re-evaluated when supervision resumes. Output circuits configured as strobes can have sync protocol for synchronization if configured. Certain strobe and strobe/horns models of the following manufacturers are supported. 1. All normal non-sychronized horns 2. Faraday 3. System Sensor 4. Wheelock 5. Secutron 6. Mircom When configured as normal, the output circuit is ON continuously when activated and does not use any sync protocol. When configured as non-silenceable strobes, the strobes cannot be silenced, but the horn can be silenced by pressing the 'signal silence' button If the strobe is configured as silenceable strobe both the horn and the strobe are silenced (stopped) by pressing the 'signal silence' button Indicating Circuit Wiring The SFC-500 Series Addressable Fire Alarm Panels supports Class B (Style Y) and Class A (Style Z) wiring for its indicating circuits. Each circuit is supervised by a 3.9K End-of-Line resistor. Each indicating circuit provides up to 1.7Amperes, total 5Amperes of current maximum if no auxiliary power is used.

SFC-500 Series Installation and Operation Manual System Checkout Before turning the power ON To prevent sparking, do not connect the batteries. Connect the batteries after powering the system from the main AC supply. 1. Check that all adder modules are installed in the proper location with the proper connections. 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 jumpers and switches for proper setting. 5. Check the AC power wiring for proper connection. 6. Check that the chassis is connected to earth ground (cold water pipe). 7. Make sure to close the front cover plate before powering the system from main AC supply. The best way to set up a panel for the first time is to avoid connecting any field wiring at first. To begin set up, power up the panel with end of line resistors connected where appropriate, then connect the battery. The panel will show System Restart Active. Press System Reset button to reset the panel. If the panel is free of trouble, connect one circuit at a time, checking for troubles each time. If a trouble occurs at any point during the set-up, correct the fault, then continue connecting the field wiring. Power-up procedure After completing the system checkout procedures outlined above, 8. Power up the panel. The "AC ON" green LED and the Common Trouble LED should illuminate, and the buzzer should sound. Press the System Reset button. Since the batteries are not connected, the trouble buzzer should sound intermittently and the common trouble LED should flash. 9. Connect the batteries while observing correct polarity: the red wire is positive (+) and black wire is negative(-). All indicators should be OFF except for normal power "AC ON" green LED. 10.Configure the Fire Alarm Control Panel as described in the System Configuration section. Troubleshooting Symptoms Circuit Trouble Remote Trouble Ground Fault Battery Trouble Walk Test Mode Common Trouble Possible Cause Normally when a circuit trouble occurs, its designated trouble indicator will be illuminated, as well as the common trouble indicator and trouble buzzer. To correct the fault, check for open wiring on that particular circuit loop or that the Circuit Disconnect Switch is in the ON or CLOSED position. Note: Disconnecting a Circuit will cause a system trouble (off-normal position). Remote Trouble will be indicated on the main panel display for any failure reported by, or failure to communicate with a remote annunciator or other remote device. This panel has a common ground fault detector. To correct the fault, check for any external wiring touching the chassis or other Earth Ground connection. Check for the presence of batteries and their conditions. Low voltage (below 20.4V) will cause a battery trouble. If battery trouble condition persists, replace batteries as soon as possible. If the Walk Test LED is illuminated steadily, the system is in Walk Test Mode. If only a common trouble is indicated on the main panel and none of the above confirming trouble indicators are ON, check the following for possible fault: Check for any missing interconnection wiring. Check for any Module missing that was part of the Configuration. Check for improperly secured cabling. 27
