PN: 51335:D ECN 01-535Fire Alarm Control PanelMS-9600/MS-9600EIMPORTANT! The SLC Manual Document #51309 must be referenced in addition to thismanual when installing or servicing the Fire Alarm Control Panel.Document #5133511/06/01 Revision:D

Fire Alarm System LimitationsAn automatic fire alarm system–typically made up of smokedetectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warningdevices, and a fire alarm control with remote notificationcapability–can provide early warning of a developing fire.Such a system, however, does not assure protection againstproperty damage or loss of life resulting from a fire.The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detectorsbe located throughout a protected premise following therecommendations of the current edition of the National FireProtection Association Standard 72 (NFPA 72),manufacturer's recommendations, State and local codes, andthe recommendations contained in the Guide for Proper Useof System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at nocharge to all installing dealers. A study by the Federal EmergencyManagement Agency (an agency of the United Statesgovernment) indicated that smoke detectors may not go off inas many as 35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are designedto provide early warning against fire, they do not guaranteewarning or protection against fire. A fire alarm systemmay not provide timely or adequate warning, or simply may notfunction, for a variety of reasons:Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannotreach the detectors such as in chimneys, in or behind walls, onroofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectorsalso may not sense a fire on another level or floor of a building.A second-floor detector, for example, may not sense afirst-floor or basement fire.Particles of combustion or "smoke" from a developing firemay not reach the sensing chambers of smoke detectors because:• Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, orchimneys may inhibit particle or smoke flow.• Smoke particles may become "cold," stratify, and not reachthe ceiling or upper walls where detectors are located.• Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by airoutlets.• Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns beforereaching the detector.The amount of "smoke" present may be insufficient to alarmsmoke detectors. Smoke detectors are designed to alarm atvarious levels of smoke density. If such density levels are notcreated by a developing fire at the location of detectors, thedetectors will not go into alarm.Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have sensinglimitations. Detectors that have photoelectronic sensingchambers tend to detect smoldering fires better than flamingfires, which have little visible smoke. Detectors that have ionizing-typesensing chambers tend to detect fast-flaming firesbetter than smoldering fires. Because fires develop in differentways and are often unpredictable in their growth, neithertype of detector is necessarily best and a given type of detectormay not provide adequate warning of a fire.Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequatewarning of fires caused by arson, children playing withmatches (especially in bedrooms), smoking in bed, and violentexplosions (caused by escaping gas, improper storage offlammable materials, etc.).While a fire alarm system may lower insurancerates, it is not a substitute for fire insurance!Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion andalarm only when heat on their sensors increases at a predeterminedrate or reaches a predetermined level. Rate-of-riseheat detectors may be subject to reduced sensitivity over time.For this reason, the rate-of-rise feature of each detectorshould be tested at least once per year by a qualified fire protectionspecialist. Heat detectors are designed to protectproperty, not life.IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in thesame room as the control panel and in rooms used by the systemfor 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, cripplingits ability to report a fire.Audible warning devices such as bells may not alert peopleif these devices are located on the other side of closed orpartly open doors or are located on another floor of a building.Any warning device may fail to alert people with a disability orthose who have recently consumed drugs, alcohol or medication.Please note that:• Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizuresin people with conditions such as epilepsy.• Studies have shown that certain people, even when theyhear a fire alarm signal, do not respond or comprehend themeaning of the signal. It is the property owner's responsibilityto conduct fire drills and other training exercise to makepeople aware of fire alarm signals and instruct them on theproper reaction to alarm signals.• In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device cancause temporary or permanent hearing loss.A fire alarm system will not operate without any electricalpower. If AC power fails, the system will operate from standbybatteries only for a specified time and only if the batterieshave been properly maintained and replaced regularly.Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatiblewith the control. It is essential to use only equipmentlisted for service with your control panel.Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from apremise to a central monitoring station may be out of serviceor temporarily disabled. For added protection against telephoneline failure, backup radio transmission systems are recommended.The most common cause of fire alarm malfunction is inadequatemaintenance. To keep the entire fire alarm system inexcellent working order, ongoing maintenance is required perthe manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA standards.At a minimum, the requirements of Chapter 7 of NFPA72 shall be followed. Environments with large amounts ofdust, dirt or high air velocity require more frequent maintenance.A maintenance agreement should be arrangedthrough the local manufacturer's representative. Maintenanceshould be scheduled monthly or as required by National and/or local fire codes and should be performed by authorized professionalfire alarm installers only. Adequate written recordsof all inspections should be kept.LimWarLg.p65 01/10/2000

Installation PrecautionsWARNING - Several different sources of power can be connectedto the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all sourcesof power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipmentmay 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 thismanual is read and understood.CAUTION - System Reacceptance Test after SoftwareChanges. To ensure proper system operation, this productmust be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 Chapter 7 afterany programming operation or change in site-specific software.Reacceptance testing is required after any change, additionor deletion of system components, or after any modification,repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring.All components, circuits, system operations, or software functionsknown to be affected by a change must be 100% tested.In addition, to ensure that other operations are not inadvertentlyaffected, at least 10% of initiating devices that are notdirectly 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 at0-49° C/32-120° F and at a relative humidity of 85% RH (noncondensing)at 30° C/86° F. However, the useful life of thesystem's standby batteries and the electronic componentsmay be adversely affected by extreme temperature rangesand humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that this systemand all peripherals be installed in an environment with a nominalroom temperature of 15-27° C/60-80° F.Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating andindicating device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate morethan a 10% I.R. drop from the specified device voltage.Adherence to the following will aid in problem-freeinstallation with long-term reliability:Like all solid state electronic devices, this system mayoperate erratically or can be damaged when subjected to lightning-inducedtransients. Although no system is completelyimmune from lightning transients and interferences, propergrounding will reduce susceptibility. Overhead or outsideaerial wiring is not recommended, due to an increased susceptibilityto nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the TechnicalServices Department if any problems are anticipated orencountered.Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or insertingcircuit 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, makeall cable entries from the sides or rear. Before making modifications,verify that they will not interfere with battery, transformer,and printed circuit board location.Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs.Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in reducedterminal contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminalremoval.Though designed to last many years, system componentscan fail at any time. This system contains static-sensitivecomponents. Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strapbefore handling any circuits so that static charges are removedfrom the body. Use static-suppressive packagingto protect electronic assemblies removed from the unit.Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, andprogramming manuals. These instructions must be followedto avoid damage to the control panel and associatedequipment. FACP operation and reliability depend uponproper installation by authorized personnel.FCC WarningWARNING: This equipment generates, uses, and canradiate radio frequency energy and if not installed andused in accordance with the instruction manual, maycause interference to radio communications.

SECTION 4Operating Instructions4.1 Panel Control Buttons4.1.1 Acknowledge/StepThe first press of the Acknowledge/Step key silences the piezo sounder, changesflashing LEDs to steady and also changes the status field on the LCD display fromcapital letters to small letters. When the piezo is silenced, an acknowledge message issent to the printer and the history file. Multiple active events are scrolled on the displayat a three second rate. Acknowledge also sends a silence piezo command to the optionalannunciators connected to the FACP.When more than one event exists, the first press of the Acknowledge/Step keyfunctions as described in the preceding paragraph. The second press of the key stopsthe scrolling and holds the event on the display for one minute. Subsequent pressing ofthe key steps through each active event.4.1.2 Alarm SilenceThe Alarm Silence key performs the same functions as Acknowledge/Step. In addition,if an alarm exists, it turns off all silenceable NACs (Notification Appliance Circuits)and causes the Alarm Silenced LED to turn on. It also sends an ‘alarm silenced’message to the printer, history file and optional annunciators. A subsequent new alarmwill resound the system NACs. Note that the Alarm Silenced LED is turned off bypressing the Reset key, the Drill key or subsequent activation of the NACs.4.1.3 Drill/Hold 2 SecWhen the Drill key is held for a minimum of two seconds (time required to preventaccidental activations), the FACP turns on both main panel NAC outputs and allsilenceable circuits such as control modules that are programmed as silenceable, andturns off the Alarm Silenced LED if it was previously on. The EVAC IN SYSTEMmessage is shown on the LCD display. The same message is sent to the printer andhistory file. The Alarm Silence key can be used to turn off all silenceable NAC outputsfollowing activation by the Drill key.4.1.4 ResetPressing and releasing the Reset key turns off all control modules and NACs,temporarily turns off resettable power to 4-wire detectors, causes a RESET IN SYSTEMmessage to be displayed on the LCD and sends the same message to the printer andhistory file. It also performs a lamp test by turning on all LEDs (except the GroundLED), piezo sounder and LCD display segments after the Reset key is released. Anyalarm or trouble that exists after a reset will resound the system.

4.2 LED IndicatorsThe nine LED indicators, which are located on the front panel, operate as follows:AC PowerThis is a green LED which illuminates if AC power is applied to the FACP. A loss ofAC power will turn off this LEDFire AlarmThis red LED flashes when one or more alarms occur. It illuminates steady when theAcknowledge/Step or Alarm Silence key is pressed. The Fire Alarm LED turns offwhen the Reset key is pressed. The LED will remain off if all alarms have been cleared.SupervisoryThis is a yellow LED that flashes when one or more supervisory conditions occur, suchas a sprinkler valve tamper condition. It illuminates steady when the Acknowledge/Stepor Alarm Silence key is pressed. It turns off when the Reset key is pressed and remainsoff if all supervisory alarms have been cleared.TroubleThis is a yellow LED that flashes when one or more trouble conditions occur. It stayson steady when the Acknowledge/Step or Alarm Silence key is pressed. The LED turnsoff when all trouble conditions are cleared. This LED will also illuminate if themicroprocessor watchdog circuit is activated.MaintenanceThis is a yellow LED that flashes to indicate that a smoke detector requires cleaning orreplacement due to an invalid chamber reading or excessive drift.Alarm SilencedThis is a yellow LED that turns on after the Alarm Silence key is pressed while an alarmcondition exists. It turns off when the Drill or Reset key is pressed.DisabledThis is a yellow LED that flashes to indicate that a zone, NAC, detector or module hasbeen temporarily disabled in programming by the user.BatteryThis is a yellow LED that flashes to indicate a low battery voltage condition.GroundThis is a yellow LED that flashes to indicate a ground fault condition.

Supervisory alarmsdo not cause resound as do other alarm conditions. Open circuits in supervisory wiringare processed by the control panel the same way as other trouble conditions. Refer to"Alarm Operation" on page 109, for a description of the information displayed on thecontrol panel LCD.

4.7 Process Monitor Operation4.8 Hazard Condition OperationProcess Monitor operation will initiate the following events:• The piezo sounder pulses ¼ second On and ¼ second Off• The LCD displays a process monitor message along with the device name, type,address, adjective/noun, associated zones and time/date• Relays programmed for process monitoring will be activated• The alarm relay is not activated• Silenced alarms are not resounded• Timers are not started• Store event in history bufferNote that, like supervisories, process monitor signals latch (except when programmedfor process monitor autoresettable) and can be assigned to software zones.Hazard Condition operation will initiate the following events:• The piezo sounder turns on steady• The LCD displays a hazard message along with the device name, type, address,adjective/noun, associated zones and time/date• Relays programmed for process monitoring will be activated• The alarm relay is not activated• Silenced alarms are not resounded• Timers are not started• Store event in history bufferHazard conditions do not latch and will therefore clear when the hazard condition iscleared. They can be assigned to software zones.4.9 Medical Alert Condition Operation4.10 NAC OperationMedical Alert Condition operation will initiate the following events:• The piezo sounder turns on steady• The LCD displays a medical alert message along with the device name, type,address, adjective/noun, associated zones and time/date• Relays programmed for medical alert will be activated• The alarm relay is not activated• Silenced alarms are not resounded• Timers are not started• Store event in history bufferMedical alert conditions do not latch and will therefore clear when the medical alertcondition is cleared. They can be assigned to software zones.There are two programmable NACs (Notification Appliance Circuits) resident on theMS-9600 main circuit board. Both NACs may be programmed as silenceable ornonsilenceable and may also be programmed for steady or coded operation. Codedoperation provides a choice between March Time, Temporal or California coding.

4.11 Programmed Zone Operation4.12 Disable/Enable Operation4.13 Waterflow Circuits Operation4.14 Detector FunctionsEach addressable detector and monitor module can be assigned to a maximum of fivesoftware alarm zones. A general alarm zone Z00 may be listed for output (control)points, but it is not necessary to list Z00 for input points, since this is the default zonefor all alarm input devices. Zone Z00 is not activated by supervisory points.When an input device alarms and is not disabled, it activates all software zonesassigned to it. An output device that is not disabled is turned on when any of thesoftware zones to which it is programmed become active.Input points which are disabled do not cause an alarm or any zone activation. Disabledoutput points are held in the off state. All disabled points are treated as if they were introuble, with the exception being the status label that will be displayed is DISABL.If an alarm exists from a monitor module point that has a waterflow type code and itsmapped NAC control module outputs are programmed for nonsilenceable operation,the Alarm Silence key will not function.Maintenance AlertEach addressable detector is monitored by the control panel for its maintenance status.If a detector is near but below the allowed alarm limit, a ‘maintenance alert’ messagewill automatically be displayed, signaling that the detector is in need of servicing.Automatic Test OperationAn automatic test of an addressable detector is performed each minute, resulting in acomplete SLC loop test in approximately 5 hours (if the loop has the maximum numberof devices installed). The detector’s sensing chamber and electronics are functionallytested for normal, safe operation. A trouble message is displayed upon failure of thistest. A System Reset will clear this trouble.Type Code SupervisionThe FACP monitors addressable hardware device codes at slow intervals. Mismatch ofany type code, compared to the system program, will cause a device trouble.System Alarm VerificationThe control panel may be programmed to perform alarm verification to help eliminatethe nuisance of false alarms. Alarm verification applies to smoke detectors only.Smoke Detector DataSmoke detector data is monitored by the FACP, eliminating the need to test thesensitivity of each detector at its location. A printout of each detector’s data can beretrieved from the FACP using an optional printer or Windows HyperTerminal.Detector sensing ability can decrease with age and should be monitored as part of asystem’s routine maintenance.4.15 Time Functions: Real-Time ClockThe MS-9600 includes a crystal-based clock that provides time of day, date and day ofweek. Time is displayed as 12 or 24 hour time with month/day/year and is stored inRAM. Daylight savings time change-over is programmable and automatic. If both ACand battery are lost, the time must be reset.

4.16 Synchronized NAC Operation4.17 Coded Operation4.18 PresignalSynchronization is a panel feature that controls the activation of notification appliancesin such a way that all devices will turn on and off at exactly the same time. This isparticularly critical when activating strobes which must be synchronized to avoidrandom activation and a potential hazard or confusion. The FACP can be programmedto operate with a variety of manufacturer’s devices.Important: When a Notification Appliance Circuit with a mix of audible and visualdevices is programmed for silenceable and the synchronization feature is selected, onlythe audible devices will be turned off if the Silence key is pressed. The visual devices(strobes, etc.) will continue to operate.The two NAC circuits resident on the control panel main circuit board can beprogrammed for coded operation. The available pulse rates which can be programmedfor coded operation are as follows:• Continuous: Steady output with no pulsing• March Time: Pulses at 120 ppm (pulses per minute)• Temporal Code: Pulses at ½ second On, ½ second Off, ½ second On, ½second Off, ½ second On, 1½ second Off• California Code: 10 seconds On, 5 seconds Off• Two-Stage Pulses at 20 ppm (pulses per minute) for 5 minutes andthen changes to on steadyPresignal option programs an initiating device to delay the activation of NACs and/orcontrol modules while allowing visual verification by a person. Once a detector ormonitor module triggers an alarm, the onboard piezo sounds immediately, but theNACs are not activated for a user programmed time duration of up to three minutes.Note that the alarm relay and communicator will respond to the initial alarmimmediately. In addition, Zone 98 will activate. This zone can be programmed to acontrol module which may be used to activate a sounder or indicator which the installerdesignates as a Presignal indication. After the programmed delay, the NACs will activate if the source of the alarm is notcleared. Note that if a second alarm occurs during the programmed time delay, thealarm will be processed immediately, causing activation of the appropriate outputzones. The events which occur upon Presignal activation are as follows:✓ onboard piezo sounds immediately✓ control panel LCD display will indicate a presignal event and the active point✓ control points programmed to Zone 98 will activate✓ annunciators (if enabled) will sound the local piezo, and pulse the alarm LEDand zone LED✓ outputs (NACs and control modules) of associated zones will be inhibitedfrom activating for a user programmed time delay of up to three minutes✓ second alarm occurring anytime during the time delay will cause immediateactivation of all associated outputsPresignal does not affect monitor modules programmed as waterflow, supervisory,process monitoring or remote switches. Presignal operation requires the approval ofthe local Authority Having Jurisdiction.

4.19 Positive Alarm SequencePAS (Positive Alarm Sequence) option will program an initiating device to delay panelactivation (including alarm relay and communicator) for a period of 15 seconds. Zone97, however, will activate immediately and may be used to connect a signaling deviceto indicate PAS activation. When a detector or monitor module triggers an alarm, the onboard piezo soundsimmediately, but the NACs are prevented from activating for 15 seconds. This inhibittime is factory set and cannot be changed. Pressing the Alarm Silence orAcknowledge/Step key during the 15 second inhibit time will silence the piezo sounderand start a timer which prevents activation of NACs for an additional time durationwhich can be user programmed for up to three minutes. After the programmed delay,the NACs will activate if the source of the alarm is not cleared. Note that if a secondalarm occurs during either time delay, the alarm will be processed immediately, causingactivation of the appropriate output zones. The events which occur upon PASactivation are as follows:✓ onboard piezo sounds immediately✓ control panel LCD display will indicate a presignal event and the active point✓ control points programmed to Zone 97 will activate✓ annunciators (if enabled) will sound the local piezo, and pulse the alarm LEDand zone LED✓ outputs (NACs and control modules) of associated zones will be inhibitedfrom activating for a factory set duration of 15 seconds✓ pressing the Alarm Silence or Acknowledge/Step key will start a timer whichinhibits output activation for additional time delay of up to three minuteswhich is user programmable✓ second alarm occurring anytime during either time delay will cause immediateactivation of all associated outputsPAS does not affect monitor modules programmed as waterflow, supervisory, processmonitoring or remote switches. PAS operation requires the approval of the localAuthority Having Jurisdiction.Note that the PAS BYPASS monitor type code, when activated, will inhibit the PAScapability until the PAS BYPASS monitor is deactivated. While PAS is inhibited,signaling devices will immediately place the control panel into alarm. This feature maybe employed by wiring a normally open device, such as a switch, to a monitor modulewhich has been programmed for PAS BYPASS.

4.20 Special System Timers4.20.1 Silence Inhibit TimerThis option, if selected, prevents the Alarm Silence key from functioning for 60 secondsfollowing an alarm. A new alarm during the initial 60 seconds will cause the timer torestart with a new 60 seconds. Silence Inhibit operation requires the approval of thelocal Authority Having Jurisdiction.4.20.2 Autosilence TimerIf Autosilence is selected, the notification appliances, programmed as silenceable, willautomatically be silenced after a programmable duration of from 5 to 30 minutes.Pressing the Drill key will restart the timer. Autosilence operation requires theapproval of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction.4.20.3 Trouble ReminderIf selected, this feature causes a reminding ‘beep’ every 15 seconds during an alarm(after the Alarm Silence key is pressed) and every two minutes during a troublecondition (after the Acknowledge/Step or Alarm Silence key is pressed). The ‘beeps’from the onboard piezo sounder will occur until the alarm or fault is cleared.Note that if the trouble is not cleared within 24 hours, the piezo will resound, indicatingthat the trouble condition still exists.4.20.4 Waterflow Retard TimerIf selected, this option will delay the activation of a waterflow type alarm for aprogrammable time duration from 1 to 90 seconds. This delay is in addition to any timedelay inherent in the waterflow device. This feature requires the approval of the localAuthority Having Jurisdiction.

4.20.5 Alarm Verification (None or Two Minutes)If alarm verification is selected, an addressable smoke detector's alarm is ignored for aretard time of 13 seconds and the detector's alarm condition is automatically reset.There will be no alarm indication at the FACP during the Retard period. Aconfirmation period of one minute and 47 seconds follows, during which a subsequentalarm from the same detector will cause the panel to immediately activate theappropriate outputs and indicate the alarm condition at the FACP. If a different detectoralarms any time during the first detector's verification period, the panel willimmediately activate all appropriate outputs and indicate the alarm condition at theFACP. If no additional detector alarms occur within two minutes of the first alarm (13second retard plus one minute and 47 second confirmation), the timer resets and thepanel is ready to verify any new detector alarms which may occur.0 sec.13 sec.120 sec.Detector Alarm Verification(Retard + Confirmation)RETARDCONFIRMATIONDetector Goes Into AlarmAlarm IgnoredControl Panel Processes Alarm if Same Detector is Still in AlarmDifferent Detector AlarmsDuring First Detector'sVerification PeriodControl Panel Immediately Processes AlarmNote: Alarm Verification is available only for addressable smoke detectors, notconventional smoke detectors.4.21 WalktestWalktest is a feature which allows one person to test the fire alarm system. An audiblewalktest will momentarily sound the Notification Appliance Circuits in the buildingand store the walktest information in a file at the panel. A silent walktest will not soundthe NACs but will store the walktest information in a file which can be viewed at thepanel. Disabled NAC devices will not activate during walktest.Alarm/Shorted ConditionWhen in audible Walktest, the panel responds to each new alarm and activates itsprogrammed control outputs for four seconds, if those outputs have been programmedfor silenceable activation. It also stores each alarm in the walktest history file whichcan be sent to an optional printer. The stored display will be the same as if the deviceactually activated except the colon (:) in the time stamp is replaced with an asterisk (*).Open ConditionAddressable devices as well as both main circuit board NACs are monitored for faultconditions during Walktest mode. When a new trouble condition occurs, the FACP willactivate all NACs and control modules programmed for Walktest, then shut them offafter eight seconds.While in Walktest, the trouble relay is activated and the system Trouble LED flashes (asin all of the Program and status change operations). The alarm relay is not activated.

4.22 Read StatusRead Status functions do not require a password. The control panel will continue toprovide fire protection while in Read Status mode. This mode can be entered while thecontrol panel is in alarm or trouble. If a new alarm or trouble occurs during thesefunctions, the Read Status is exited to prevent confusion.Read Status EntryWhen the operator presses the control panel Enter key, the LCD will display thefollowing:1=READ STATUS2=PROGRAMMINGPressing 1, while this screen is being displayed, will cause the control panel to enter theRead Status mode which allows the user to view and print the programmed features andstatus of the control panel.The following screens will be displayed:READ STATUS1=SYSTEM POINT2=ZONES3=POWERRead Status Screen #1READ STATUS1=ANNUNCIATORS2=FUTURE USE3=FUTURE USERead Status Screen #4READ STATUS1=TROUBLE REMINDER2=TIMERS3=NACREAD STATUS1=FUTURE USE2=PRINTER/PC3=PRINTRead Status Screen #2Read Status Screen #5READ STATUS1=RELAYS2=PROGRAM CHECK3=HISTORYREAD STATUS1=TIME-DATERead Status Screen #3Read Status Screen #6

If the reading is still not withinthe acceptable range, immediately replace the detector.

Drift CompensationDrift compensation uses software algorithms that identify and compensate for longtermchanges in the data readings from each addressable smoke detector. These longtermchanges in detector data readings are typically caused by dirt and dustaccumulation inside the smoke chamber. Drift compensation performs the followingfunctions:• Allows a smoke detector to retain its original ability to detect actual smoke andresist false alarms, even as dirt and dust accumulate• Reduces maintenance requirements by allowing the control panel toautomatically perform the periodic sensitivity measurements required by NFPAStandard 72The FACP software also provides filters to remove transient noise signals, usuallycaused by electrical interference.Maintenance AlertThe software determines when the drift compensation for a detector reaches anunacceptable level that can compromise detector performance. When a detectorreaches an unacceptable level, the control panel indicates a maintenance alert. Table4.1 summarizes the three levels of maintenance alert:Maintenance Level FACP Status Displays IndicatesLow Chamber Value INVREP A hardware problem in the detectorMaintenance Alert DIRTY1 Dust accumulation that is near but below theallowed limit.

SECTION 55.1 OverviewPower Supply CalculationsThis section contains instructions and tables for calculating power supply currents inalarm and standby conditions. This is a four-step process, consisting of the following:1. Calculating the total amount of AC branch circuit current required to operate thesystem2. Calculating the power supply load current for non-fire and fire alarm conditionsand calculating the secondary (battery) load3. Calculating the size of batteries required to support the system if an AC powerloss occurs4. Selecting the proper batteries for your system5.2 Calculating the AC Branch CircuitThe control panel requires connection to a separate, dedicated AC branch circuit, whichmust be labeled FIRE ALARM. This branch circuit must connect to the line side ofthe main power feed of the protected premises. No other non-fire alarm equipment maybe powered from the fire alarm branch circuit. The branch circuit wire must runcontinuously, without any disconnect devices, from the power source to the controlpanel. Overcurrent protection for this circuit must comply with Article 760 of theNational Electrical Codes as well as local codes. Use 14 AWG (2.00 mm ) wire with600 volt insulation for this branch circuit.Use Table 5.1 , to determine the total amount of current, in AC amperes (A), that mustbe supplied to the system.Table 5.1 AC Branch Circuit Requirements

5.3 Calculating the System Current Draw5.3.1 Overview Table 5.2 Converting to Full Amperes 5.3.2 How to Use Table 5.3 on page 129 to Calculate SystemCurrent DrawUse Table 5.3 on page 129 to calculate current draws as follows:1. Enter the quantity of devices in all three columns2. Enter the current draw where required. Refer to the Fire-Lite DeviceCompatibility Document for compatible devices and their current draw3. Calculate the current draws for each in all columns4. Sum the total current for each column5. Copy the totals from Column 2 and Column 3 to Table 5.4 on page 130Following are the types of current that can be entered into Table 5.3 on page 129:✓ Calculation Column 1 - The primary supply current load that the controlpanel must support during a non-fire alarm condition, with AC power applied.✓ Calculation Column 2 - The primary supply current load that the controlpanel must support during a fire alarm condition, with AC power applied.✓ Calculation Column 3 - The standby current drawn from the batteries in anon-fire alarm condition during a loss of AC power.

Table 5.3 contains columns for calculating current draws. For each column, calculatethe current and enter the total (in amperes) in the bottom row. When finished, copy thetotals from Calculation Column 2 and Calculation Column 3 to Table 5.4 on page 130.Table 5.3 System Current Draw Calculations Table Footnote1. All eight ACM-8RF relays activated on a single module.2. All annunciator LEDs on3. UDACT-F actively making phone call to central station. If the normally open contact is used, currentconsumption increases to 100 mA.4. LDM-32F with LEDs on5. If using the Reverse Polarity Alarm output, add 0.005 amps; if using the Reverse Polarity Trouble output, addanother 0.005 amps.6. Refer to the Device Compatibility Document for standby current.7. Must use compatible listed Power Supervision Relay.8. Maximum alarm current for each sounder base is 0.015 amps which must be supplied by aux. 24VDC source.9. Current limitation of Terminal TB4 circuits is 3.00 amps per NAC.10.The total standby current must include both the resettable (TB3 Terminals 1 & 2) and nonresettable (TB3Terminals 3 & 4, 5 & 6) power. Caution must be taken to ensure that current drawn from these outputs duringalarm does not exceed maximum ratings specified. Current limitations of TB3 circuits is 3.0 amps per output11.Total current draw listed above cannot exceed 7.2 amps.

5.4 Calculating the Battery SizeUse Table 5.4 to calculate the total Standby and Alarm load in ampere hours (AH).This total load determines the battery size (in AH), required to support the control panelunder the loss of AC power.

Batteries installed in a systempowered by a generator need to provide at least 4 hours of standby power• NFPA requires 24 hours of standby plus 15 minutes activation for audio systems.The total ampere hours required cannot exceed 25 AH with an internal charger5.4.2 Selecting and Locating BatteriesSelect batteries that meet or exceed the total ampere hours calculated in Table 5.4 . Thecontrol panel can charge batteries in the 7 AH to 25 AH range. The control panelcabinet is capable of housing batteries up to 18 AH. Batteries larger than 18 AH requirethe BB-25F, BB-55F or other UL listed external battery cabinet.

APPENDIX AA.1 CorrelationsSetup and configuration of an addressable system is different than a conventionalsystem. In a conventional system, assignment of input devices (smoke detectors, pullstations, heat detectors, etc.) to zones is accomplished through wiring. The wiring isdirect from clearly marked panel terminals to any device assigned to a particular zone.Connection of output devices (horns, bells, strobes, etc.) in a conventional system isaccomplished by direct wiring of the output devices to Notification Appliance Circuitterminals.In an addressable system, a minimum of a single pair of wires (SLC communicationloop) is used to connect all addressable input and output devices. Communicationsbetween the FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel) and all addressable devices takes placeover the wire pair which originates from the FACP. Software programming is used toconfigure the system as opposed to direct wiring. Zone assignments are created viasoftware means, hence the term software zones.Setup of an MS-9600 software zone is accomplished by panel programming. Eachaddressable device can be assigned to a maximum of five software zones. Eachsoftware zone, however, may have from 1 to 99 addressable input devices assigned toit and from 1 to 99 addressable output devices assigned to it.Monitor and control modules comprise one group of 99 addresses, with each modulehaving a unique address from 1 to 99 . Detectors comprise a separate group of 99 addresses, each detector having a unique address from 1 to 99 in its group. Be carefulnot to duplicate addresses within any one group (modules and detectors). Refer to thefollowing page for an example of zoning.In the example on the following page:• Zone 01 has the following addressable devices assigned to it:✓ SD350 smoke detectors with addresses 01 and 02✓ MMF-300 monitor module with address 01✓ MMF-302 monitor module with address 02 and 03✓ CMF-300 control modules with addresses 05, 06, 07, 09 and 13• Zone 02 has the following addressable devices assigned to it:✓ MMF-302 monitor module with addresses 02 and 03✓ CP350 smoke detectors with addresses 03 and 04✓ CMF-300 control modules with addresses 08, 09 and 10• Zone 03 has the following addressable devices assigned to it:✓ SD350 smoke detectors with addresses 05, 06 and 07✓ MMF-302 control module with address 04✓ CMF-300 control modules with addresses 09, 11 and 12The example points out some of the key assignment features of the MS-9600.Addresses of detectors are not duplicated. Addresses of monitor and control modulesare not duplicated. The control module with address 09 is assigned to three softwarezones (providing floor above and floor below). Be careful to properly plan theinstallation prior to installing any devices.CLIP or Classic Loop Interface Protocol devices (modules and detectors) can onlyhave unique addresses of 1 to 99. Newer modules can have unique addresses of 1 to159 which means each zone can have up to 159 input and output devices assigned to it.

Wire RequirementsCorrelationsAPPENDIX CWire RequirementsT-tapping of the SLC loop wiring is allowed for 2-wire (Style 4) configurations. The totalresistance of any branch cannot exceed 40 ohms. The total wire length of all branches cannotexceed 10,000 feet (3,000 m).Connecting external system accessories to the MS-9600 main circuits must be carefully consideredto ensure proper operation. It is important to use the correct type of wire, wire gauge and wire runlength for each MS-9600 circuit. Reference the chart below to specify wire requirements andlimitations for each MS-9600 circuit.Note: If the SLC loop is to be run in conduit with Notification Appliance Circuits, the risk ofencountering problems can be greatly reduced by exclusively employing electronic sounders (suchas MA/SS-24D) instead of more electronically noisy notification appliances such aselectromechanical bells or horns.Table C.1 MS-9600 Wire SpecificationsCIRCUIT CONNECTIONSWIRE REQUIREMENTSCircuit Type Circuit Function Wire Type and LimitationsRecommendedMax.
