Product description

System overview

System hardware capabilities

Hardware capabilities vary depending on cabinet size and option card configuration, but generally:

• Up to four Class A or Class B Signature signaling line circuits that support up to 250 single-address Signature devices each

• Up to 40 Class A or 48 Class B initiating device circuits (IDC). Combination systems can not exceed 40 IDC circuits total

• Up to 16 Class A or 20 Class B notification appliance

• Up to two 30-zone displays

• Up to 96 dry-contact relay

• 4.5 amps of 24 Vdc power for external notification appliances

• Battery charger capable of charging batteries rated up to 40 Ah. Maximum battery size for

ULC applications is 30 Ah

• Up to eight, fully-supervised, mirrored or customized remote annunciators

Minimum system requirements

A Local Protected Premises Fire Alarm System requires only the FACP (CPU, PS6, and enclosure) with at least one SLIC, ZB16–4, or

ZA8–2 card programmed with at least one audible output circuit and one alarm input circuit.

In addition to the hardware requirements of a

Local system:

• Add a 2–CTM City Tie Module for an Auxiliary

Fire Alarm System

• Add a DLD Dual Line Dialer Card or RPM

Reverse Polarity Module for a Remote

Supervising Station Fire Alarm System

• Add a DLD Dual Line Dialer Card or RPM

Reverse Polarity Module for a Central Station

Fire Alarm System

• Add a SIGA–REL for Releasing Device Service

Normal operating mode description

The panel operates in normal mode in the absence of any alarm, supervisory, trouble, and monitor events. In normal mode, the control panel monitors the system for any events.

Off-normal operating mode description

The panel operates in off-normal mode any time there is an event introduced into the system.

When this happens, the CPU:

• Changes the contact positions on the appropriate common relays

• Activates all common alarm outputs (alarm events only)

• Turns on the panel buzzer

• Executes the appropriate programmed output response for the input that signaled the event

• Sends a record of the event to the appropriate display queue and out the serial port

If there is no operator in attendance, the panel displays the content of the highest priority display queue containing a record.

If there is an operator in attendance, the panel displays the content of the current display queue regardless of any new events introduced into the system.

Failsafe operating mode description

The panel operates in failsafe mode when the

CPU loses the ability to communicate with the PS6 and JP1 on the PS6 is in the ON position. When this happens, the power supply:

• Closes the common trouble relay contacts

• Instructs the dialer to send the default trouble message

• Monitors the system for any alarm events

If an alarm event occurs, the power supply:

• Changes the contact positions on the common alarm relay

• Turns on all conventional common alarm outputs. Signature common alarm outputs are not affected.

• Instructs the dialer to send the default alarm message

Installation

Installation do's and don'ts

When installing cabinets...

DO use fasteners that can support the full weight of the cabinet and standby batteries. Tighten firmly to avoid vibrations.

DO NOT drill inside the cabinet with circuit cards installed.

Remove all metal filings before installing the circuit cards.

DO NOT recess the cabinet into the wall deeper than 2–11/16 inches (68.2 mm) from the finished wall surface to allow room for the trim kit.

When installing circuit boards...

When installing circuit wiring...

When installing Signature loops...

DO ground yourself with an approved static-protective wrist strap when handling circuit boards.

DO keep circuit boards in their protective antistatic packaging.

Remove only for inspection or installation.

DO NOT touch component leads and connector pins when handling circuit boards.

DO disconnect ac power and batteries before installing or removing circuit boards. Installing or removing circuit boards while the control panel is energized may damage the equipment.

DO use appropriately sized wire for the application.

Incorrectly-sized wires degrade circuit performance.

DO make sure there are no wire-to-ground shorts or wire-towire shorts before connecting field wires to the panel.

DO NOT over tighten screw terminals. Over tightening may strip screw terminal threads and cause loose connections.

DO NOT install more than fifteen SIGA–UMs or MABs configured for two-wire smoke detectors on a loop.

DO NOT install more than seven SIGA–UMs or MABs configured for two-wire smoke detectors on loops with isolator devices.

DO NOT install more than ten SIGA–RELs on a loop. You must use the QuickStart configuration utility to program a

SIGA–REL. Refer to the technical manual supplied with the

SIGA–REL and appendix C of this manual for programming information.

When installing standby batteries...

DO NOT install standby batteries until after you completely install and test the system.

4.1

Programming instructions

Overview

What is a Zone?

A Zone is a function in the system software that initiates an active response based on a single alarm event. Firewall designations, planned evacuation criteria, architectural design, and other factors all contribute to how the system designer divides the protected premises into zones.

ZONE 1

FACP

ZONE 2 ZONE 3

What is an Output Group?

An Output Group is a function in the system software that establishes the correlation between input circuits and responses. When an input changes states, the condition of the input determines which response the panel runs. For example, a smoke detector initiates the Active response when it signals an alarm condition but initiates the Trouble response when removed from its base.

QuickStart setup instructions

Step 1:

Read this before proceeding

Note: If at any time you get an

Exception Event while programming the system, note the error code, and then contact EST Technical Services at 6411 Parkland Drive, Sarasota, FL

34243 or at 1-800-655-4497.

To clear the Exception Event, press

Alarm Silence while the event is displayed. You may have to reset the panel to display the event again.

This procedure uses the AutoLearn and AutoLoop utilities to automatically configure the system. The AutoLearn utility configures the option cards. The AutoLoop utility configures the circuits on the Signature loop.

Caution: Running the AutoLearn utility deletes the existing panel programming. If you have already programmed the system, running AutoLearn requires you to re-enter everything again from the beginning.

If you have a dialer installed, the AutoLearn utility requires you to program the DLD before exiting. Be sure to have the following:

• Subscriber account numbers, telephone numbers, and transmission formats obtained from the CMS (Central

Monitoring Station). Appendic C provides a list of Contact ID event codes.

• A completed copy of the DLD Programming Worksheet

(Figure 4-1).

After you have finished using the AutoLearn and AutoLoop utilities to configure the system, you can either:

• Customize the system programming

• Go to step 11 and Save and Sync.

Step 2:

Apply power to the system

1. Verify that each circuit card installed in the control panel has a unique card address.

2. Apply power to the control panel and to all the remote annunciators.

After applying power, the panel CPU performs a diagnostic check in the background. You can not begin programming until this finishes and the AutoLearn option becomes available.

4.4




Step 3:

Assign Panel ID numbers to the remote annunciator panels

On each remote annunciator panel:

1. Press Menu.

2. Choose Login then enter the password required for Level 4 access (default is 4444).

3. Choose Program > Configure > AutoLearn.

4. Press Del twice then enter an unused Panel ID from 02 to

09 (01 is reserved for the control panel).

5. Enter the number of panels that are connected to the

RS485 riser, including the control panel. This is your maximum number of panel addresses.

6. Select the wiring configuration of the RS485 riser (Class A or Class B) then press Enter.

Note: The wiring configuration must be the same for all panels.

Step 4:

AutoLearn the control panel.

Note: Before running the AutoLearn utility, make sure you have not installed more cards than the system allows.

On the control panel:

1. Press Menu.

2. Choose Login then enter the password required for Level 4 access (default is 4444).

3. Choose Reports > Revision > Enter > Display. Verify all the cards installed in the cabinet appear in the list.

4. Press Menu then choose Program > Configure >

AutoLearn.

5. Enter 01 for the Panel ID.

6. Enter the number of panels that are connected to the

RS485 riser, including the control panel. This is your maximum number of panel addresses.

7. Select the wiring configuration of the RS485 riser (Class A or Class B) then press Enter.

If you do not have a DLD card installed, the system will automatically reboot after the AutoLearn utility configures the system. Go to step 10.

If you do have a DLD card installed, go to step 5.

§ Choose Rcvr 1 Sec # then enter the second number to try for the first CMS receiver.

§ Choose Rcvr 2 Prim # then enter the first number to try for the second CMS receiver.

§ Choose Rcvr 2 Sec # then enter the second number to try for the second CMS receiver.

§ Choose Exit.

3. Choose Retry Count then enter the number of times you want the dialer to attempt to contact the CMS receiver.

1. Choose Accounts then <New> to set up a new account

— or —

Select an account number then press Enter.

2. Choose Account # then enter the number of the subscriber account.

3. Choose Formats then choose the required transmission format.

4. Choose Test–Normal then enter the character string to send when the control panel is normal.

5. Choose Test–Abnormal then enter the character string to send when the control panel is off-normal.

6. Choose Test Time then enter when you want the dialer to transmit the test string in 24-hour format.

7. Choose CMS then choose which CMS receiver to dial.

This is the receiver that holds the account.

8. Choose Exit.

Step 7:

Edit the default alarm messages

Note: The dialer automatically sends the default alarm message for active alarm inputs that are not programmed to initiate a dialer response.

1. Choose Default Msgs > Alarm.

2. Choose Account then select the subscriber account you want to receive the message.

3. Choose Active Msg then enter the message you want sent for alarm activation events.

For example, for Contact ID enter 111000000

4. Choose Restore Msg then enter the message you want sent for alarm restoration event.


5. Choose Exit.

Step 8:

Edit the default trouble messages

Note: The dialer automatically sends the default trouble message for inputs that signal a trouble but are not programmed to initiate a dialer response.

1. Choose Default Msgs > Trouble.


3. Choose Active Msg then enter the message you want sent for trouble activation events.


4. Choose Restore Msg then enter the message you want sent for trouble restoration event.


5. Choose Exit.

Step 9:

Edit the default supervisory messages

Note: The dialer automatically sends the default supervisory message for active supervisory inputs that are not programmed to initiate a dialer response.

1. Choose Default Msgs > Supervisory.


3. Choose Active Msg then enter the message you want sent for supervisory activation events.


4. Choose Restore Msg then enter the message you want sent for a supervisory restoration event.


5. Choose Exit.



4.7


Step 10:

AutoLoop the loop controller cards

Run the AutoLoop utility on each loop controller installed in the control panel.

Caution: When the system reboots, the loop controller reinitializes the loop. If you attempt to run the AutoLoop utility during this time, you could corrupt the project database.

Customizing the system configuration

You can customize the system configuration, if your requirements exceed that of the general alarm system created using the AutoLearn and

AutoLoop utilities.

Before you can make any changes to the system programming, you must log onto the system to start an editing session.

The control panel has a watchdog timer that kicks you out of an editing session after a period of inactivity. If this happens, you will have to log in again to continue.

After you finish customizing the system configuration, save your changes, and then test the system. After everything checks out then Save and Sync to copy the database to the remote annunciators.

WARNING: Entering Edit mode (choosing

Configure on the Program menu) disables the control panel and leaves the premises unprotected until you exit Edit mode.

Replacing a SIGA device when mapping is disabled)


1. Switch the circuit breaker that supplies ac power to the control panel to the OFF position.

2. Expose the ac terminal block and pull out the fuse holder.

3. Replace the blown fuse with a new one of the same type and size.

4. Plug the fuse holder back into the ac terminal block.

5. Switch the circuit breaker that supplies ac power to the control panel to the ON position.

WARNING: Replacing a device when mapping is disabled leaves the area unprotected. The control panel does not automatically reassign responses to replaced devices when mapping is disabled.

To replace devices on a loop that operates with mapping disabled, you must first enable mapping then accept the map.

After you replace your devices, you can disable mapping on the loop.

Note: Replacement devices must be the same model as the devices being replaced.

1. Press Menu.

2. Log onto the panel as a Level 4 operator.

3. Choose Enable > Loop Mapping.

Programming instructions

WARNING: Attempting to program this application without a complete understanding of the operation of the SIGA–REL, the latest technical information, and the consequences of exposing someone to fire suppression agents may cause personal injury, event death.

WARNING: Improper application of fire suppression agents can lead to property damage, serious injury, or loss of life. Consult the applicable NFPA documents and the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) for more information.

WARNING: Disabled and Service Group points will not prevent activation of the release circuits.

This application requires the operation of at least two automatic detectors to activate the fire suppression system. In order to meet NFPA 72 requirements, you must program an And group with at least two smoke detectors and a minimum activation count of 2. The smoke detectors must have their Primary and

Alternate Verification properties set to None.

The SIGA–REL has six addressable circuits. To add the SIGA–

REL to the loop controller database you must add three SIGA–

RELs. The first SIGA–REL is for the Abort switch and Manual

Release switch circuits, the second for the two release circuits, and the third for the two prerelease circuits.

Perform these instructions in order from beginning to end.

Check the check box provided as you complete each step.

As a safety precaution, disconnect releasing devices from

SIGA–REL TB4 before downloading setup data to the loop controller.

¨ Add the Abort and Manual

Release Switch circuits

Note: Enter the information exactly as shown to ensure that you program the application according to manufacturer's specifications.

1. Click Configure, then click Cabinets.

2. Select the SLIC connected to the SIGA–REL then click
