FS-250 WITH RELEASING OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Pre-Alarm Operation
In case of an alarm on one of the devices on a releasing zone, the Pre-Alarm LED flashes, the LCD displays prealarm condition, the buzzer activates on-steady and any NACs configured to sound Pre-alarm will sound.
Alarm Operation
When another alarm occurs and the set threshold is satisfied on a releasing zone, the agent release timer is activated. The LCD display will display the timer as it counts down. The screen will display “agent release in XX seconds” and the “Pre-Discharge” LED will be on. Proceed according to the established emergency plan. Assure that all personnel are accounted for and notify the Fire Department to advise of the alarm and/or verify that an automatic signal has been received at the Fire Department.
Authorized Personnel Only
To Abort the suppression release
Press the Abort switch, depending on the configuration of the panel the pre discharge timer will be halted or reset. Proceed to clearing and acknowledging the alarm.
To acknowledge the alarm:
To acknowledge the alarm, press the Acknowledge button. The local buzzer will be silenced and the Alarm
LED will change from on-flashing to on-steady.
To silence the alarm:
To silence the notification appliances after evacuation, press the Alarm Silence switch. The notification appliances will be silenced. The Alarm Silenced LED will be on-steady.
Note: Do not reset the panel until the alarm has been cleared.
Warning: Alarm silence inhibit (if set) prevents the alarm from being silenced for a predetermined
time.
To reset panel after alarm:
When the alarm condition is corrected, return the panel to normal standby operation by pressing the System
Reset switch.
To initiate manual release:
Press the Manual Release switch. This will immediately activate the releasing zone and put the panel to discharge condition regardless of the previous condition of the panel.
NOTE: Manual release and abort switch are installed external to the panel and normally monitored by contact devices.
Trouble is indicated by:
Trouble LED flashes
LCD will display trouble conditions
Buzzer activates on-pulsing
Trouble Operation
To silence the trouble buzzer:
Operate the Button Enable key switch to the ON position and press the Acknowledge button. The Trouble
LED changes to on-steady. When the trouble condition has been cleared, you may need to reset the panel to restore to a normal standby condition.
Warning: Leaving the panel in a trouble condition may cause a fire alarm condition not to initiate a fire alarm sequence
Normal Standby Condition
The green Power On LED will be lit and no other indicators on.

MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
The FS-250 provides a maintenance mode to allow for the setting and controlling of various features in the system.
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 is done on a loop basis so that the remainder of the system will 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.

APPENDIX-E: ALARM VERIFICATION
Alarm verification provides FS-250 with a way to verify an alarm from area type addressable smoke detectors connected to intelligent loops (FS-DLC). This feature reduces the incidence of false alarms. Only detectors that do not contain an integral alarm verification feature can be used.
Addressable detectors connected to FS-DLCs indicate that an alarm condition has been detected. If the device is subject to alarm verification, the FS-DLC alerts the control panel that the device has entered verification but is not yet considered to be in alarm. The FS-DLC starts a timer using the FS-250 system Retard-Reset Period. When the timer expires, the FS-DLC begins the fixed 60-second confirmation period. If the device is no longer in alarm during the confirmation period, the verification cycle is considered complete and detection of a subsequent alarm from that device results in the verification cycle restarting. If the device still reports in the alarm state during this confirmation period, the alarm condition is reported to the control panel and the system annunciates the alarm condition.
See the figure below for a graphic illustration of Alarm Verification.
NOTE: For devices connected to the FS-DLC, the Detector Restart period is 0 seconds.

A - Smoke detector goes into alarm.
AB - RETARD-RESET PERIOD (Control Unit) - Control unit senses detector in alarm and retards (delays) alarm signal, usually by de-energizing power to the detector. Length of time vaires with design. (11 to 55 seconds)
BC - RESTART PERIOD (Detector Power-up Time) - Power to the detector is reapplied and time is allowed for detector to become operational for alarm. Time varies with detector design.
AC - RETARD-RESET-RESTART PERIOD - No alarm obtained from control unit. Maximum permissible time is 60 seconds.
CD - CONFIRMATION PERIOD - Detector is operational for alarm at point C. If detector is still in alarm at point C, control unit will alarm. If detector is not in alarm, system returns to standby. If the detector re-alarms at any time during the confirmation period the control unit will alarm.
DE - OPTIONAL REGION - Either an alarm can occur at control unit or restart of the alarm verification cycle can occur.
AD - ALARM VERIFICATION PERIOD - Consists of the retard-reset-restart and confirmation periods.

APPENDIX-F: APPLICATION SPECIFIC
DETECTION
Application Specific Detection (ASD) allows the system designer to program an HFP-11 detector’s sensitivity, pre-alarm threshold, and other alarm-related parameters using English descriptions of the detector's environment (application). This eliminates the need for detailed knowledge of smoke detector terminology and operation. The designer can set all of the critical detector parameters by simply selecting an application description that closely fits the one where the detector is to be installed.
For example, to use ASD to select the optimal parameters for a detector in a hotel lobby, select the LOBBY application in the FS-CT2 tool for that device. The system will automatically transmit the factory determined sensitivity, pre-alarm threshold, and detection algorithm (Ralgorithm) to the corresponding device. This eliminates the guesswork of selecting these parameters for different environments.

APPENDIX-G: TESTING/MAINTENANCE
If the system is connected to the fire department, etc., or actuates an internal system, disarm the appropriate outputs before servicing to prevent actuation. Notify the fire department and personnel at your facility that a System test is being performed so that any alarm sounding can be ignored during the test. Notify the fire department before resetting the system.
Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of the fire alarm system should be performed in accordance with NFPA 72, The National Fire Alarm Code and all applicable local codes.
69
