MPC-6000 / MPC-7000 / RND-2 INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

CONTROL UNIT LIMITATIONS

This control unit may not show an alarm condition without compatible initiating devices (smoke detectors, etc.) and notification devices (horn, lights, etc.) connected to it. Electrical ratings of the initiation and notification appliances must be compatible with the electrical ratings of the control unit and must be properly interconnected. The wiring used for interconnection must be large enough to carry the total current for all appliances without excessive voltage drop. The

RND-2 will not indicate alarm conditions without being connected to and configured correctly on an MPC-NET2 network.

The control unit must be connected to a dedicated primary electrical source that has a high degree of reliability and adequate capacity for this control unit. The only means of disconnecting this power source shall be available only to authorized personnel and clearly marked "Fire Alarm Circuit Control".

The control unit must also have connected to it a battery set (24V) that has enough capacity to properly operate the system for 24 or 60 (depending on system type) hours standby and 5 minutes alarm per NFPA 72 (chapter 1). These batteries do lose capacity with age. Batteries must be replaced when they fail to provide the control unit with the required standby and alarm power or after 4 years, whichever happens first. These batteries must be checked for performance at least two (2) times a year or more often if local requirements dictate.

Fire alarm control units cannot last forever. Even though this control unit was made to last for the expected life of the fire alarm system, any part could fail at any time. Therefore a regular test program should be followed and documented to make sure that each part of the system is tested as in Chapter 7 of NFPA 72 or more often if dictated by local code requirements.

Malfunctioning units must be replaced or repaired immediately by factory authorized service personnel.

This control unit is designed to show an alarm condition when the initiating devices connected to it detect specific conditions. These conditions may or may not represent a lifethreatening condition. Also, evacuation of a building or area unnecessarily may subject individuals to an unnecessary hazard. Therefore, it is most important that the building owner, manager, or representative promulgate, distribute, and/or post instructions describing steps to be taken when the fire alarm control unit signals an alarm condition. These instructions should be developed in cooperation and conformance with representatives of the local authority having jurisdiction.

As a backup or precautionary measure, it is strongly suggested that one of these steps should be to notify the local fire department of an abnormal condition even where the DACT option (or similar device) is included in the system.

X1 ADDRESSABLE DEVICES

Fire Smart™ Smoke Detector

The control unit processor sends the sensitivity and pre-alarm settings to the detectors and polls the detectors as to their status. The detector determines normal, trouble, pre-alarm or alarm conditions and communicates the status to the control unit.

• Variable Thesholds - The detectors can be set to operate in various pre-programmed optimizations, depending on installation locations.

• Operator Alerts - The control unit can trigger an alarm or trouble automatically on the occurrence of a number of conditions of the detector. These include:

Maintenance alert

Pre-alarm alert

No response

Incorrect response

Heat Detectors

Addressable heat sensing detectors may be intermixed on the circuit for locations where heat sensing may be the most effective detection mode. The heat detectors may be programmed, through the control unit, for rate of rise operation.

Addressable Modules (Monitor and Control)

In addition to detectors, the circuit can communicate with addressable modules, allowing initiating devices or notification appliances with local power sources, and supervising the power sources.

Manual Stations

Addressable manual stations may be intermixed on the circuit with proper response programmed into the control unit.

GENERAL DESIGN FEATURES

Environmental

All hardware is suitable for use in a dry, interior or protected location.

Power Limiting

The AC power and battery wiring are not power limited. All other circuits leaving the control unit are power limited, provided the proper installation rules are maintained.

Ground Fault Detection

The control unit provides system ground fault detection and is annunciated as a trouble condition on the system. In addition, each addressable loop circuit has its own ground detection circuitry and indicator.

System (+) Ground Fault Threshold = 40K

Ω

System (-) Ground Fault Threshold = 300k

Ω

Loop Circuit Ground Fault Threshold = 20k

Ω

NAC Operation

The notification appliance circuits are commanded and controlled by a microprocessor to provide more versatility than in a total hardware system

• Output Sounding Patterns - The notification appliance circuits are operable in different sounding patterns. Any circuit is selectable to any of eight software-generated patterns or continuous sounding. For convenience, three of the patterns are preprogrammed for March

Time, Temporal, and Faraday SYNC Protocol.

• Audible Silence Inhibit - In addition to designation of water flow zones, the entire control unit may be programmed to inhibit audible silence for 0, 1, 3, or 6 minutes from the last alarm. System reset may also be inhibited.

Transient Protection

Transient protection devices are provided to meet UL864 requirements.

Security Features

Processor control and addressing allow inclusion of several functions to assure security and proper programming of the system.

Multi-level password protection of programming functions prevents unauthorized configuration changes.

Device type supervision: If the type reported by an addressable detector or module does not agree with the configuration, the system reports a trouble.

Device address supervision: The system checks that all configured devices on the addressable device circuit and the Serial Interface Circuit responds to an address poll. If a configured device is missing, the system reports a trouble. The system also polls unused addresses periodically. If a device responds to such a poll of a non-configured device, the system reports a trouble. Two devices addressed the same also cause a trouble to be reported.

CONTROL UNIT OPERATION

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Standby Condition

In normal standby operation, the green AC POWER ON LED should be illuminated and no other indicator operating. The display will show the system name, “System Normal” announcement and the current date, day, and time.

Alarm Conditions

When a general alarm occurs, all NACs with output type set to “ALARM” activate.

To activate a general alarm, proceed as follows:

• On the MENU display, select "GENERAL ALARM".

• At the next screen, select "Yes".

Silence and reset the system as with any alarm.

In case of alarm, the system alarm LED activates (ON - flashing) and the buzzer activates (ON

- steady). Local audible and visual signals and remote alarm signals operate and the LCD panel display indicates the zone or point initiating the alarm.

On receipt of an alarm, proceed in accordance with the established emergency plan. Assure that all personnel are accounted for, and notify the Fire Department.

To silence the audible after evacuation, where permitted by the codes and control unit programming, press ALARM SILENCE. The alarm audible will be silenced, the alarm silence

LED will be illuminated and a system trouble indicated.

Operating the ACKNOWLEDGE button will silence the local buzzer and change the LED alarm indicator from flashing to steady.

Alarms detected on devices with usage designated as “waterflow” indicate sprinkler operation and the audible alarms cannot be silenced in this condition. Operation of alarm silence will produce no effect.

• POSITIVE Alarm Sequence (PAS)

Activation of a zone programmed for PAS, activates the Alarm LED, display and buzzer

(pulsing), and starts the PAS timer, but delays all other outputs (system and user) for 15 seconds.

19


Operation of the ACKNOWLEDGE button within 15 seconds will add a number of seconds (60-

180) to the PAS timer. If the ACKNOWLEDGE button is not operated within 15 seconds, the system and user outputs activate.

If the initiating device and the panel are reset before the PAS timer times out, the alarm sequence is aborted.

An alarm condition on a detector programmed for direct alarm response (such as the key switch on a manual station) will override the PAS timer and activate the outputs.

A point activated by a PRE-SIGNAL alarm device activates the alarm relay, alarm DACT, alarm LEDs and buzzers, and all user-programmed outputs normally, except NACs. Only presignal type NACs operate at this time. Pre-signal type NACs are for constantly attended central locations manned by trained building personnel.

Operation of the SYSTEM RESET button within the pre-programmed time (60-180 seconds) after initiation of the pre-signal prevents operation of the general alarm.

Failure to act within the pre-programmed time (60-180 seconds) will result in activation of the general alarm.

Receipt of a general alarm during the delay period immediately sounds the general alarm building NACs.

Do not reset the system until the alarm condition has been cleared. The LCD will indicate the area in which the alarm was detected. The detector or module associated with the device initiating the alarm will display a light indicating activation (if applicable).

When the alarm condition has been corrected, return the system to standby operation by pressing the SYSTEM RESET button.

Trouble Conditions

In case of a trouble condition, the system trouble LED and any programmed trouble LEDs activate (ON – pulsing), the LCD identifies the problem and the buzzer sounds (pulsing). Refer to the applicable section of the system manual to determine the probable cause of the trouble and the action to be taken.

When a trouble has been noted, the buzzer may be silenced by pressing the ACKNOWLEDGE button. The trouble LEDs will change to ON - steady. If the trouble has not been corrected when the trouble resound reminder timer expires, the trouble display reverts to its original condition and the buzzer resounds (pulsing).

If the control unit is programmed for “trouble acknowledge required”, when the indicated trouble condition has been cleared, the system reverts to standby condition only after the

ACKNOWLEDGE button is pressed.

Some trouble conditions require a system reset to restore the control unit.

20


Supervisory Conditions

In case of a supervisory condition, the system supervisory LED activates (ON – flashing) and the sounder activates (ON – pulsing). When the supervisory has been listed, the buzzer is silenced by pressing the “ACKNOWLEDGE” button. The supervisory trouble LED changes to steady – ON. When the supervisory is cleared, the supervisory condition is still indicated until it is acknowledged.

Pre-Alarm Conditions

• A pre-alarm condition is annunciated by Pre-alarm LEDs and buzzers on the control unit and LCD Annunciators and Remote Processors. The LEDs flash and buzzers are on steady until acknowledgment.

• Acknowledging the Pre-alarm condition puts LEDs on steady and buzzers off.

• If pre-alarm has been acknowledged and the system restores to normal, the condition clears. If the system proceeds into an alarm condition, the pre-alarm condition clears whether or not it has been acknowledged and is replaced by alarm.

Maintenance

In order to insure continued safe and reliable operation of the fire alarm system, periodic inspection and testing should be performed in accordance with applicable NFPA 72 standards.

If the system has remote connections to the Fire Department or other monitor, be sure to disable the remote signals and/or notify the remote monitoring station before performing test operations.

For any required service, refer to the system manual or contact a factory authorized representative.

21

26


2. Disconnect all sources of power prior to installing or removing modules, connecting or disconnecting wiring and programming jumpers.

CONTROL UNIT LOCATION

The control unit should be located near an exit at ground level, where the normal ambient temperature is maintained within the control unit specification (See General Specifications).

The unit should be in an area that is free of dust, vibration, moisture and condensation. Any auxiliary battery box or other accessory not connected through a protective device or a circuit designed for remote connection must be within 20 ft. and in the same room, connected through electrical conduit.

INSTALLATION

The enclosures must be fastened securely to a clean, dry, shock-free, and vibration-free surface. Consider the following when mounting the box.

• Mounting height for visual and manual access to the display and keypad

• Weight and size of backbox

• Local mounting codes

When mounting the backbox, position the backbox clear of obstructions so that the door can open freely and so that indicators and controls are easily accessible.

The fire alarm control unit must be mounted in a properly accessible location as required by applicable codes. Any auxiliary battery box or other accessory not connected through a protective device or a circuit designed for remote connection must be within 20 ft. and in the same room, connected through electrical conduit.

Installation is to be done only by qualified personnel who have thoroughly read and understood these instructions. The fire alarm control unit must be mounted in a properly accessible location as required by applicable codes.

ENCLOSURE MOUNTING

Install the backbox:

• Select a clean, dry, shock and vibration free surface.

• Position the backbox clear of obstructions so that the front door opens freely and the controls and indicators are easily accessible.

• Mark the locations of the two upper mounting bolts of the backbox on the wall.

There are two key-shaped cutouts on the top of the backbox. Make sure the end with the two key-shaped cutouts is on top when installing the backbox.

• Drill the two holes located in the previous step and screw in the top bolts, leaving a small gap between the wall and each top bolt.

27


The screw type and length must be able to support the control panel, options and battery set.

You may need a different screw type, depending on the wall material.

Place the backbox over the two top bolts and allow it to slide down over the bolts.

• Mark, drill, and install the two bottom bolts in the backbox.

• Tighten all four bolts securely against the back wall of the backbox.

• The RSE-300 Auxiliary Power Supply or battery enclosure may be mounted immediately below the main enclosure, close nipple, allowing a minimum of 1 inch in between the enclosures for clearance between the doors. Keeping the wire run to the control unit short will keep the voltage drop to a minimum.

SYSTEM WIRING

Before connecting the field wiring, check the wiring for opens, shorts, grounds and stray voltages.

WARNING

Damage may result if a high voltage insulation tester is used on wiring while connected to the control unit.

Terminate the field wiring to the main board in accordance with the diagrams in System Wiring

Section and the system design documents.

All wiring must be in accordance with local codes and the National Electrical Code. Use only wire as described in Article 760 of the National Electric Code.

AC Supply Connection

Wire the AC supply to terminal block TB1 on the main board. The supply should originate from a separate, fused circuit. It should be provided with a breaker or other means of isolation.

(Refer to Primary and Secondary Wiring Section for connection diagram.)

Observe the wiring order — the bottom terminal is ground and must be wired back to the electrical panel ground (earth) bonding point or another good ground acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction and the electrical inspector. The neutral wire must be taken back to the electrical panel neutral distribution bar and must not be grounded.

Dangerous voltages will be present on this terminal block and on other components surrounding it and the transformer when the AC supply is turned on. Do not touch.

35


Battery Installation

WARNING

Improper battery connections or shorting battery terminals may damage the system and/or batteries and may cause personal injuries.

Use the battery calculation chart to determine the battery size. Place the batteries in the space provided in the bottom of the backbox. If a battery set larger than12 AH (MPC-6000, RND-2) or

18 AH (MPC-7000) is required, a separate enclosure must be used. The Faraday 14050 may be used for battery sets 18 AH and smaller. The Faraday BE-1 may be used for battery sets

38.5 AH up to 100 AH.

The control unit uses a 24V battery set. Connect the two 12V batteries (or four 6V batteries) in series with wire that is rated for the maximum worst-case battery current draw. Route the battery leads to the left of the enclosure and up to the battery connector, J4. The battery leads are not power-limited. DO NOT CONNECT THE BATTERIES YET.

Powering the Control Unit

After all modules and wiring are installed and properly checked, apply AC power to the control unit. AC POWER ON LED, SYSTEM TROUBLE LED, and the trouble buzzer should be on.

Observe polarity. Connect the B- (black) lead from the main board into the black or - terminal of the battery set and the B+ (red) lead from the main board into the red or + terminal of the battery set. (Refer to Primary and Secondary Wiring for diagram.)

Optional Modules

See Appendix D for the installation instructions for each optional module. Installation

Instructions are also provided with each module. Follow these instructions for proper installation.

When using the MPC-DACT, select the proper System Type in the “System Parameter” tabs of

CIS-4. This automatically sets the “DACT Pwr Fail Tmr.”

Remote Station 15 Hours

Central Station 6 Hours

Check System Operation

Check for proper operation of all the system functions. See Operation Instructions section on page 19.

WIRING

Basic system wiring and detector locations must be in accordance with NFPA 72 or other instructions from the appropriate local authority having jurisdiction.

Devices that may be satisfactorily used with the control unit are shown in the compatible device listing in Appendix B.

Wire reference data are included in Appendix A.

36


Control Unit Wiring Overview

In compliance with NEC Article 760 and UL 864, all power limited fire protective signaling conductors must be separated a minimum of 1/4 inch from all of the following wiring located within a control panel:

• Power

• Class 1 or non-power limited fire protective signaling conductors

To meet these requirements, the following guidelines must be observed when installing modules and wiring to this control panel.

When installing power limited field wiring, the installer must comply with NEC article 760, which states:

The fire alarm power-limited circuits are installed using Types FPL, FPLR, FPLP or permitted substitute cable, provided these power-limited cable conductors extending beyond the jacket are separated by a minimum of 0.25 in. (6.35 mm) or by a nonconductive sleeve or nonconductive barrier from all other conductors.

If energy limited cable or equivalent is not used within the MPC-6000 / MPC-7000 / RND-2 enclosure, then the following guidelines do not apply. In that case, be sure to follow standard wiring practices.

Wiring Entering Enclosure

• Non-Power Limited Wiring - Wiring entering the enclosure from the bottom left side of the backbox is considered non-power limited wiring. Wiring must be in the shortest route and must not overlap any other wiring.

• Power Limited Wiring - Wiring entering the enclosure from the top and the left side of the backbox is considered power limited. Wiring must be in the shortest route and must not overlap any other wiring.

Install Wiring

The primary mains input must have a separate or dedicated circuit breaker. Wire in accordance with local codes and NEC 760.

• Remove the knockouts in the backbox for the entry of field wiring. (Refer to Enclosure

Mounting Pictures on pages 28 and 29 and Wiring Separation Diagram on next page for the location of knockouts.)

• Pull all field wiring into the backbox. Do not dress the wiring until the location of all the equipment is known.

Install the wiring from the external power source to the approximate location of the power supply.

The overall arrangement of boards in the control unit is shown in the following diagram.

37


Wiring Separation

All high voltage and non-power limited wiring must be kept separate from power limited wiring.

A separation of at least a 1/4 inch must be maintained, with high voltage and non-power limited wiring running in separate conduit openings from power limited wiring.

PROGRAMMING THE CONTROL UNIT

KEYPAD PROGRAMMING

Customized programming of the control unit may be accomplished through the keypad in the control unit. See the Faraday MPC-6000 / MPC-7000 / RND-2 Programmer’s Manual, P/N

315-049403FA, for detailed information of system programming.

PC PROGRAMMING

Programming the panel may also be done by a temporary connection to the programming port with a computer. This is the recommended method to program the panel.

The Faraday CIS-4 software is available to allow programming the control unit by connection to a Personal Computer (PC) with an EIA-232 serial port. This allows ease of operation by preparing the program in advance and downloading to the control unit in a simple, rapid operation.

Uploading or downloading of a configuration requires technician level. The control unit automatically verifies a downloaded configuration for regulatory and system restriction compliance. After verifying the new configuration, a comparison of the new and old configurations may be printed. Switchover to the new configuration requires confirmation at the control unit. See the Faraday online help for detailed information of system programming.

PROGRAMMING SECURITY

The following levels of security protect the system from unauthorized use:

• User – Locked Door

• Maintenance – Locked Door and 4-digit Maint. Password

• Technician – Locked Door and 6-digit Tech Password

The User and Maintenance Levels are also accessible from the Remote LCD Annunciators.

48


MAINTENANCE

GENERAL

The MPC-6000 / MPC-7000 / RND-2 provides a maintenance mode to allow for the setting and controlling of various features in the system. Since the RND-2 does not have devices connected to it, some of these functions are not available on the RND-2.

The maintenance functions are protected by a four digit password. To access the maintenance features press the “MENU” button four times and select “Maint. Level” from the display, enter the four digit code when prompted and then press “Enter”. The functions listed below are now accessible to the user by using the function buttons on either side of the display.

QUICK TEST

If the control unit has remote connections to the Fire Department or other monitor, be sure to disable the remote signals and notify the remote monitoring station before performing test operations, since an off-normal condition will be indicated.

The Quick Test mode makes it fast and easy to test a system by eliminating the need to reset the panel after each device is activated. Quick test may be done on a loop basis (if there are multiple loops), so that the remainder of the system may continue to operate normally. Once the loop is placed into quick test, the NACs will sound for a short configurable period as each device on the loop is activated. In this way a single person is able to quickly check that each device is working and activating the system.

The printer may also be enabled or disabled during “Quick Test” as desired.

Refer to the programming manual for the details of accessing the Quick test functions.

For any required service, contact a factory-authorized representative.
