P/N 50580:D © 1998 Fire•Lite D ECN 98-402 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. 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 721993 Chapter 7 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 0-49O C/32-120 O F and at a relative humidity of 85% RH (non-condensing) at 30O C/86 O F. 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 its peripherals be installed in an environment with a nominal room temperature of 15-27O C/60-80O 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. Fire Alarm System Limitations 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 Department 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, or punching of the enclosure. When possible, make all 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 reduced terminal contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal. This system contains static-sensitive components. Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling any circuits so that static charges are removed from the body. Use static suppressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies removed from the unit. Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and programming manuals. These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to the control panel and associated equipment. FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper installation. While installing a fire alarm system may make lower insurance rates possible, it is not a substitute for fire insurance! An automatic fire alarm system - typically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control with remote notification capability can provide early warning of a developing fire. Such a system, however, does not assure protection against property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire. Any fire alarm system may fail for a variety of reasons: Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level or floor of a building. A second floor detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or basement fire. Furthermore, all types of smoke detectors - both ionization and photoelectric types, have sensing limitations. No type of smoke detector can sense every kind of fire caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson. 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. A fire alarm system will not operate without any electrical power. If AC power fails, the system will operate from standby batteries only for a specified time. Rate-of-Rise heat detectors may be subject to reduced sensitivity over time. For this reason, the rate-of-rise feature of each detector should be tested at least once per year by a qualified fire protection specialist. Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible with the control. It is essential to use only equipment listed for service with your control panel. Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premise to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily disabled. The most common cause of fire alarm malfunctions, however, is inadequate maintenance. All devices and system wiring should be tested and maintained by professional fire alarm installers following written procedures supplied with each device. System inspection and testing should be scheduled monthly or as required by National and/or local fire codes. Adequate written records of all inspections should be kept. FCC Warning WARNING: This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for class A computing device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which is designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference when operated in a commercial environment.

D 11/3/98 P/N 50580:D 5 Product Description CHAPTER 1 Product Description The FIRE•COMMAND•25/50 Voice Evacuation Control Panel (VECP) is a single-channel, 25 watt, 25 V RMS, emergency voice evacuation panel. The panel includes dual field programmable message capability (up to 60 seconds) and an integral microphone. The base configuration requires that 24 VDC regulated power be provided to the FIRE•COMMAND•25/50 for operational power. A separate custom power supply module with battery charger is available and may be installed as an option to provide the 24 VDC regulated power. An optional second 25 watt amplifier is also available for backup purposes or to provide an additional channel of 25 watts. Optional 70 VRMS conversion modules are also available for installations where 70 VRMS speakers are to be installed or already exist. The modular design allows for ease-of-serviceability. Two Command Input Circuits can be independently field programmed for activation by an FACP Notification Appliance Circuit reverse polarity or by closure of a supervised normally open contact. Terminals are provided for NAC input and output to allow installation of the FIRE•COMMAND•25/50 anywhere along the NAC circuit being used to activate it. Options via the Command Inputs allow one 60 second message over both amplifiers simultaneously or by selecting amplifiers individually, two 30 second messages may be selected. Significant technological enhancements set the FIRE•COMMAND•25/50 apart from other voice panels. These enhancements include full supervision in both active (alarm or music) and standby conditions. Supervision is provided for: ✓ amplifier outputs ✓ field wiring (shorts and opens) ✓ message generator ✓ all tone generators ✓ microphone If the message generator fails, the system automatically reverts to the primary tone generator. If the primary tone generator fails, one of three backups become enabled. Power is fed independently to each amplifier so that a short circuit in one amplifier will not shut down the other. Full output power of 25 watts per amplifier is generated while in a low battery condition. Power is not diminished when the 70 VRMS option is installed. Audio is amplified from modern integrated circuits as opposed to transformer technology. This provides for very low signal distortion for crystal clear audio. Primary applications for the FIRE•COMMAND•25/50 include nonhigh-rise structures such as restaurants, schools, auditoriums, places of worship, buildings with occupancies over 50, etc. The FIRE•COMMAND•25/50 is designed to interface directly to addressable or conventional fire alarm control panels or act as a complete stand-alone unit. 1.1 Product Features • 25 watts (25 VRMS) audio power (expandable to 50 watts) • Modular design for maximum system flexibility • Unobstructed module access and removable terminal blocks for ease of servicing and module replacement • Designed to allow easy system expansion • Dual Command Input circuits field selectable to be activated from 12 or 24 VDC Notification Appliance Circuits (reverse polarity) or contact closures • Single Style Y or Z speaker circuit (expandable to two with optional 25 watt expander amplifier) • Integral supervised microphone 6 Document #50580 Rev.D 11/3/98 P/N 50580:D Product Features • Integral digital message repeater with 'primary' and 'secondary' dual-message capability • Standard, prerecorded message: “May I have your attention please.

All field wiring for each circuit is power-limited and supervised for opens and ground faults. Each CMD Command Input circuit can be independently field programmed to be triggered by a contact closure or by the reverse polarity of a Notification Appliance Circuit. CMD input and output terminals are provided to allow placement of the VECP anywhere along a Notification Appliance Circuit allowing nondedicated use of host FACP NAC for triggering. CMD1 has relay contacts (maximum current 2.0 amps) before the out terminals which will open the outgoing NAC circuit during a VECP trouble condition. This causes an NAC trouble at the host FACP. Note that the Command Input Circuit configurations can be independently set so that both circuits are triggered by the same type of input or by different types of inputs (Refer to Figure 3-7 on page 23).

D 11/3/98 P/N 50580:D 39 Application Examples CHAPTER 5 Application Examples The FIRE•COMMAND•25/50 is a Voice Evacuation Control Panel which can be used, with a variety of Fire Alarm Control Panels, to provide emergency audio messages. This chapter contains a few application examples and is not meant to provide a comprehensive list of all possible VECP applications. 5.1 One Speaker Circuit A very basic application consists of one FIRE•COMMAND•25/50 with one amplifier and a single speaker circuit. This configuration is suitable for small facilities requiring no more than 25 watts of output power. A single fire evacuation message will be generated during an alarm condition from the host FACP or activation of the Manual Evacuate switch. In this application, the NAC from the host FACP is connected to CMD1. The CMD1 out terminals are then terminated with an EOL resistor for the FACP's Style Y NAC or the terminals are wired back to the host FACP for a Style Z NAC. S5 DIP switch 2 is set to OFF which causes the speaker circuit to be activated by the CMD1 input. S5 DIP switch 5 is set to OFF which causes CMD1 input to be activated by a reverse polarity condition.

A second amplifier can be installed as a backup if desired. This configuration is suitable for small facilities requiring no more than 25 watts of output power. A single 60 second fire evacuation message will be generated during an alarm condition from the host FACP or activation of the Manual Evacuate switch. In this application, the NAC from the host FACP is connected to CMD1. The CMD1 out terminals are then terminated with an EOL resistor for the FACP's Style Y NAC or the terminals are wired back to the host FACP for a Style Z NAC. S5 DIP switch 2 is set to OFF which causes the speaker circuit to be activated by the CMD1 input. S5 DIP switch 5 is set to OFF which causes CMD1 input to be activated by a reverse polarity condition. Backup Amplifier switch S1 is set to the ‘Backup ON’ position. 18 AWG or larger jumpers connect the Backup Amplifier TB2 Terminal 3 and Main Amplifier TB2 Terminal 2 as well as Backup Amplifier TB2 Terminal 4 and Main Amplifier TB2 Terminal 1. Upon failure of the first or main amplifier, the audio from the backup amplifier will be switched out to the speakers. Note that in the optional 70.7 V RMS configuration, only the amplifier is backed-up; the FC-X RM70 coupling transformer is not. For this reason, it is not necessary to install an FC-X RM70 transformer module on the backup amplifier.

This configuration is suitable for small facilities requiring no more than 50 watts of output power. A 60 second fire evacuation message will be generated over both speaker circuits simultaneously during an alarm condition from the host FACP or when the Manual Evacuate switch is activated. In this application, the one NAC from the host FACP is connected to CMD1 In terminals. The CMD1 Out terminals are then jumpered to the CMD2 In terminals. The CMD2 Out terminals may then be terminated with an EOL resistor for the FACP's Style Y NAC or the terminals may be wired back to the host FACP for a Style Z NAC. Note that additional NAC devices may be connected to the CMD2 Out terminals as illustrated in Figure 5-3.

Messages (Fire and Nonfire) 5.4 Two Speaker Circuits - Two 30 Sec. Messages (Fire and Nonfire) This application consists of one FIRE•COMMAND•25/50 with two speaker circuits which requires installation of the optional second amplifier. This configuration is suitable for small facilities requiring no more than 50 watts of total output power (provided on dual 25 watt speaker circuits). A fire evacuation message will be generated over both speaker circuits during an alarm condition from the host FACP and an emergency ‘nonfire’ message can be manually generated over both circuits. In this application, one NAC from the host FACP is connected to the CMD1 In terminals. The CMD1 Out terminals are then terminated with an EOL resistor for the FACP's Style Y NAC or the terminals are wired back to the host FACP for a Style Z NAC. CMD2 is connected to a normally open contact which can be used to manually generate an emergency ‘nonfire’ message (i.e. tornado warning). S5 DIP switch 2 is set to ON which causes transmission of the primary ‘fire’ message over speaker circuits 1 and 2 upon activation of CMD1 and transmission of the secondary ‘nonfire’ message over speaker circuits 1 and 2 upon activation of CMD2. S5 DIP switch 5 is set to OFF which causes CMD1 input to be activated by a reverse polarity condition and S5 DIP switch 6 is set to ON which causes CMD2 input to be activated by a contact closure.

This configuration is suitable for small facilities requiring no more than 50 watts of output power. Depending on configuration switch settings and activation of one of the Command CMD inputs, a fire evacuation message can be generated over one or both speaker circuits or one of two different messages can be generated over both circuits. In this application, one NAC from the host FACP is connected to CMD1. The CMD1 Out terminals are then terminated with an EOL resistor for the FACP's Style Y NAC or the terminals are wired back to the host FACP for a Style Z NAC. A second NAC from the host FACP is connected to CMD2. The CMD2 Out terminals are then terminated with an EOL resistor for the FACP's Style Y NAC or the terminals are wired back to the host FACP for a Style Z NAC. S5 DIP switch 2 set to OFF causes transmission of one 60 second message. Activation of one or both CMD inputs determine which amplifier is on. S5 DIP switch 2 set to ON causes transmission of two 30 second messages. Control of which message to be played over both amplifiers is via CMD1 and CMD2 (refer to charts in Section 2.2). S5 DIP switches 5 and 6 are set to OFF which causes CMD1 and CMD2 inputs to be activated by reverse polarity conditions.
