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-ofrise 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.
IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in the same room
as the control panel and in rooms used by the system for the connection of alarm transmission wiring, communications, signaling, and/or
power. 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. Any warning device may fail
to alert people with a disability or those who have recently consumed
drugs, alcohol or medication. Please note that:
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 responsibility 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
Smoke particles may become cold, stratify, and not reach the ceiling
or upper walls where detectors are located.
Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before reaching the
detector.
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach the
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 panel. It is essential to use only equipment listed for
service with your control panel.
Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have sensing limitations. Detectors that have photo-electronic 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.
central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily disabled. For added protection against telephone line failure, backup
radio transmission systems are recommended.
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 standards. At a minimum, the
requirements of NFPA 72 shall be followed. 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 monthly 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.
Installation Precautions
Adherence 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 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.
CAUTION - System Reacceptance Test after Software Changes. To
ensure proper system operation, this product must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 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 modification, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring.
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.
This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0C to 49C
(32F to 120F) and at a relative humidity 93% 2% RH (non-condensing) at 32C 2C (90F 3F). However, the useful life of the
system's standby batteries and the electronic components 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 1527 C/60-80 F.
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 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,
