Fire Alarm & Emergency Communication System Limitations

While a life safety system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for life and property insurance!
An automatic fire alarm systemtypically made up of smoke
detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning
devices, and a fire alarm control panel (FACP) with remote notification capabilitycan 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.
An emergency communication systemtypically made up of
an automatic fire alarm system (as described above) and a life
safety communication system that may include an autonomous
control unit (ACU), local operating console (LOC), voice communication, and other various interoperable communication methodscan broadcast a mass notification message. Such a
system, however, does not assure protection against property
damage or loss of life resulting from a fire or life safety event.
The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat
detectors be located throughout a protected premises following
the recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire
Protection Association Standard 72 (NFPA 72), manufacturer's
recommendations, State and local codes, and the
recommendations contained in the Guide for Proper Use of
System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no charge
to all installing dealers. This document can be found at http://
www.systemsensor.com/appguides/. A study by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (an agency of the United
States government) indicated that smoke detectors may not go
off in as many as 35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are
designed to provide early warning against fire, they do not
guarantee warning or protection against fire. A fire alarm system
may not provide timely or adequate warning, or simply may not
function, for a variety of reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot
reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in or behind walls, on
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.
Particles of combustion or smoke from a developing fire
may not reach the sensing chambers of smoke detectors
because:
Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, chimneys, even wet or humid areas may inhibit particle or smoke
flow.
Smoke particles may become cold, stratify, and not reach
the ceiling or upper walls where detectors are located.
Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by air
outlets, such as air conditioning vents.
Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before reaching the detector.
The amount of smoke present may be insufficient to alarm
smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are designed to alarm at various levels of smoke density. If such density levels are not created by a developing fire at the location of detectors, the
detectors will not go into alarm.
Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have sensing
limitations. Detectors that have photoelectronic sensing chambers tend to detect smoldering fires better than flaming fires,
which have little visible smoke. Detectors that have ionizing-type
sensing chambers tend to detect fast-flaming fires better than
smoldering fires. Because fires develop in different ways and
are often unpredictable in their growth, neither type of detector is
necessarily best and a given type of detector may not provide
adequate warning of a fire.
Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate warning of fires caused by arson, children playing with matches
(especially in bedrooms), smoking in bed, and violent explosions

(caused by escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, etc.).

Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and alarm
only when heat on their sensors increases at a predetermined
rate or reaches a predetermined level. 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.
Heat detectors are designed to protect property, not life.
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, compromising its ability to report a fire.
Audible warning devices such as bells, horns, strobes,
speakers and displays 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. Any warning device
may fail to alert people with a disability or those who have
recently consumed drugs, alcohol, or medication. Please note
that:
An emergency communication system may take priority over
a fire alarm system in the event of a life safety emergency.
Voice messaging systems must be designed to meet intelligibility requirements as defined by NFPA, local codes, and
Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
Language and instructional requirements must be clearly disseminated on any local displays.
Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures in
people with conditions such as epilepsy.
Studies have shown that certain people, even when they hear
a fire alarm signal, do not respond to or comprehend the
meaning of the signal. Audible devices, such as horns and
bells, can have different tonal patterns and frequencies. It is
the property owner's responsibility to conduct fire drills and
other training exercises to make people aware of fire alarm
signals and instruct them on the proper reaction to alarm signals.
In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can cause
temporary or permanent hearing loss.
A life safety system will not operate without any electrical
power. If AC power fails, the system will operate from standby
batteries only for a specified time and only if the batteries have
been properly maintained and replaced regularly.
Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible with the control panel. It is essential to use only equipment
listed for service with your control panel.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily disabled. For added protection against telephone line
failure, backup radio transmission systems are recommended.
The most common cause of life safety system malfunction is
inadequate maintenance. To keep the entire life safety system in
excellent working order, ongoing maintenance is required per the
manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA standards. At a minimum, the requirements of NFPA 72 shall be followed. Environments with large amounts of dust, dirt, or high air
velocity require more frequent maintenance. A maintenance
agreement should be arranged through the local manufacturer's
representative. Maintenance should be scheduled monthly or as
required by National and/or local fire codes and should be performed by authorized professional life safety system installers
only. Adequate written records of all inspections should be kept.

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 manuals are read and understood.
CAUTION - System Re-acceptance Test after Software
Changes: To ensure proper system operation, this product
must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 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 0-49
C/32-120 F and at a relative humidity 93% 2% RH (noncondensing) at 32C 2C (90F 3F). 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 normal room temperature of 15-27 C/60-80 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.

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 interference, 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, or printed circuit board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Overtightening 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.

1.2 Overview
Communication between the control panel and intelligent addressable monitor and control devices
takes place through a Signaling Line Circuit (SLC), which can be wired to meet the requirements of
NFPA Style 4, Style 6, or Style 7.
At least one secondary surge protector must be used with each SLC wiring pair whenever SLC
wiring runs outside the building. For detailed information refer to Surge Suppression on page 71.

1.3 Polling Protocols

The MS-9200UDLS, MS-9600LS, and MS-9600UDLS support LiteSpeed protocol or Classic
Loop Interface Protocol (CLIP). The MS-9200/E, MS-9600/E, MS-9200UD/E, and MS-9050UD
support Classic Loop Interface Protocol (CLIP) only.

1.3.1 Available Protocols

LiteSpeed is a communication protocol that greatly enhances the speed of communication between
analog intelligent devices. Only the MS-9200UDLS, MS-9600LS, and MS-9600UDLS are capable
of operating in LiteSpeed mode. This is the default mode of operation for these FACPs.
CLIP (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) polls devices in sequential order. All Fire-LiteFireWarden
addressable fire alarm control panels can operate in CLIP mode. This is the default mode of
operation for all other FACPs.

1.3.2 Protocol Use

Use one of the following options with LiteSpeed/CLIP mode:
1.

Program all modules and detectors on an FACP as LiteSpeed.

2.

Program all modules and detectors on an FACP as CLIP.

NOTE: FACPs with more than one SLC loop must be programmed for only LiteSpeed or CLIP
mode of operation. Communication protocols cannot be split between SLC loops.

When switching between polling protocols, the loop circuit must be powered down for at least 30
seconds to reset the devices.

handled by the loop. See Section 1.3, Polling Protocols, on page 10. Within those limits, the
individual control panel may have additional restrictions. See the specific installation manual for
this information.

1.6 SLC Performance

SLC performance depends on the type of circuit (Style 4, Style 6, or Style 7) and the components
on the circuit.
NOTE: SLC operation meeting Style 7 requirements isolates each device on the SLC from faults
that may occur within other areas of the SLC.

Wiring style requirements are determined by national and local codes. Consult with the Authority
Having Jurisdiction before wiring the SLC. The table below (derived from NFPA 72-1999) lists
the trouble conditions that result when a fault exists on an SLC.

Section 2: Wiring Requirements

2.1 Wire Sizing
The SLC requires use of a specific wire type, depending on the mode of operation, to ensure proper
circuit functioning. Wire size should be no smaller than 18 AWG (0.75 mm2) and no larger than 12
AWG (3.25 mm2) wire. The wire size depends on the length of the SLC circuit. It is recommended
that all SLC wiring be twisted-pair to minimize the effects of electrical interference.

2.1.1 CLIP (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) Mode

All addressable FACPs can operate in CLIP (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) mode. It is
recommended that all SLC wiring be twisted-pair and shielded when operating in CLIP mode to reduce
the effects of electrical interference. Use the table below to determine the specific wiring requirements
for the SLC.

Section 4: SLC Circuits with Isolators

4.1 Fault Isolator Devices
There are three isolator devices used to protect critical elements of the SLC from faults on other
SLC branches or segments.

Fault Isolator Module I300

Six Fault Isolator Module ISO-6

Isolator Detector Base B224BI

A Fault Isolator Module on both sides of a device, or the combination of Isolator Base and Isolator
Module is required to comply with NFPA Style 7 requirements.

CAUTION:
MAXIMUM ADDRESSABLE DEVICES
If relay or sounder bases are not used, a maximum of 25 addressable devices can be
connected between Isolator Modules and/or Bases. When relay or sounder bases are used,
the maximum number of addressable devices that can be connected between Isolators is
reduced to seven. Isolator modules will not function properly when these limits are exceeded.
When more than 100 Isolator Modules are connected to an SLC loop, the address capacity
of the loop is reduced by two (2) addresses for every isolator device in excess of 100.

4.1.1 Isolating an SLC Branch

The module continuously monitors the circuit connected to terminals 3() and 4(+). Upon powerup, an integral relay is latched on. The module periodically pulses the coil of this relay. A short circuit on the SLC resets the relay. The module detects the short and disconnects the faulted SLC
branch or segment by opening the positive side of the SLC (terminal 4). This isolates the faulty
branch from the remainder of the loop preventing a communication problem with all other addressable devices on the remaining branches (labeled Continuation of the SLC in the figure below).
During a fault condition, the control panel registers a trouble condition for each addressable device
which is isolated on the SLC segment or branch. Once the fault is removed, the module automatically reapplies power to the SLC branch or segment.

4.3 NFPA Style 6 SLC Using Isolator Modules

A variation of Style 6 operation using isolator modules to protect a section of the SLC. By flanking
each group of devices with an I300 fault isolator module each group is protected from faults that
may occur in the other groups. For example, a fault in Section B will not effect Sections A & C.
The isolator modules on either side of Section B will open the loop. Section A will still operate
from power on the SLC Out side and Section C will operate from the SLC Return side.

A combination of isolator modules and isolator bases may be used.

T-tapping is NOT allowed within the Style 6 configuration.

Isolator modules shall be within 20 feet (6.1 meters) of device and must be enclosed in metal

5.2.2 Setting an SLC address for a Multi-Point Module

The SLC address of a multi-point module is set in the same fashion as a single-point module.
In Class B operation, each MMF-300-10, MMF-302-6, CMF-300-6, and CRF-300-6 module is set
to a base address. The remaining module points are automatically assigned to the next higher SLC
addresses. For example, if the base address of a MMF-300-10 is set to 28, the next module points
will be addressed to 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 and 37.
In Class A operation, alternate module points are paired together, resulting in a total of five module
points. For example, if the base address of a MMF-300-10 is set to 28, then 30, 32, 34 and 36 will
be automatically assigned to the remaining module points and 29, 31, 33, 35 and 37 are available
for use by other modules.
NOTE: The MS-9050UD can support addresses 01 - 50. The MS-9200, MS-9200UD and MS9200UDLS can support module addresses of 01 - 99. The MS-9600, MS-9600LS, and MS9600UDLS can support module addresses 01 - 159 (the plastic stop located on the Tens switch
must be removed to set addresses above 99).

To set an SLC address, use a common screwdriver to adjust the rotary switches on the module to
the desired address. The module below is set at 28.

FireLite SLC Wiring Manual P/N 51309:P4 9/17/2014

CMF-300-6 Installation

Control Modules

In Style Z operation alternate module points are paired together, resulting in a total of three module points. For example, if the base address is set to 28, then 30 and 32 will be automatically
assigned to the remaining module points and 29, 31 and 33 are available to be used for other modules on the SLC.
DO NOT set the lowest address above 154 (45 for the MS-9050UD, 94 for the MS-9200, MS9200UD, and MS-9200UDLS), as the other module points will be assigned to nonexistent
addresses.
NOTE: The MS-9050UD can support addresses 01 - 50. The MS-9200, MS-9200UD, and MS9200UDLS can support module addresses of 01 - 99. The MS-9600, MS-9600LS, MS-9600LSC,
and MS-9600UDLS can support module addresses 01 - 159.

To set an SLC address, use a common screwdriver to adjust the rotary switches on the module to
the desired address. See Figure 6.4 on page 50.
NOTE: For use with the MS-9600, MS-9600LS, MS-9600LSC, and MS-9600UDLS, remove the
stop on the upper rotary switch.

6.4.3 Setting NACs as Style Y or Style Z

To use this module for Style Y (Class B) operation ascertain that a small shunt is installed on the
A/B SELECT set of pins. (As shipped).
To use this module for Style Z (Class A) operation remove the small shunt from the A/B
SELECT set of pins. See drawing below and Figure 6.4 on page 50.

In Style Z operation, placing a small shunt on DISABLE 3 will disable

all three addresses. Placing it on DISABLE 2 will disable two out of
three addresses.

A/B SELECT
DISABLE 1
DISABLE 2
DISABLE 3

A shunt is used, in conjunction with a pin block, to disable a maximum of

three (3) unused module addresses. If two module addresses are disabled,
the lowest four addresses will be functional, while the highest two will be
disabled. For example, if the shunt is placed on DISABLE 2 and the base
address is set to 28, the module addresses will be assigned to 28, 29, 30
and 31.

6.4.4 Disabling Unused Module Addresses

To disable addresses, securely place one of the supplied small shunts onto
the desired set of pins. See drawing and Figure 6.4 on page 50.

6.4.5 Short Circuit Protection

Protection is disabled for each module address when there is a large shunt installed on the corresponding pins of the pin block (as shipped, all six addresses are disabled).
When enabled, the module will not switch power supply if a short circuit condition exists on a
NAC.
To enable Short Circuit Protection for an address, remove the large shunt from the corresponding
pins of the pin block. See Figure 6.4 on page 50. Place unused shunts on single pin to store on

The following bases provide connection between the SLC and these detector heads:

AD350 and AD355 Multi-criteria Photoelectric Smoke Detector

CP350 and CP355 Ionization Smoke Detector

H350, H350R, H355, H355R and H355HT Thermal Detector

SD350, SD350T, SD355 and SD355T Photoelectric Smoke Detector

The B501 and B210LP bases are standard plug-in detector bases.
The B501BH, B501BHT, B501BH-2, B501BHT-2, B200SR, and B200SR-LF Sounder Detector
Bases include a horn that will sound when the sensors visible LEDs are latched on for approximately 10 seconds.
On the MS-9200 Control Panel, the sounder will activate when the sensors visible LEDs are
latched on for approximately 10 seconds (Alarm Verification does not delay sounder).
If the MS-9600, MS-9600LS, MS-9600UDLS, MS-9200UD, MS-9200UDLS, or MS-9050UD
Control Panel is set with Alarm Verification ON, the sounder will activate at the end of the
verification cycle, providing an alarm is verified, approximately 10 seconds after the sensors
LEDs are latched on. If Alarm Verification is OFF, the sounder will activate when the sensors
visible LEDs are latched on for approximately 10 seconds.
The B224RB Relay Detector Base includes Form-C latching relay contacts for the control of an
auxiliary function. The relay operates 12 seconds (nominally) after activation of the sensor head
remote annunciator output.
The B224BI Isolator Detector Base prevents an entire communications loop from being disabled
when a short circuit occurs.
The W-GATE Wireless Gateway acts as a bridge between a group of wireless fire devices and a
LiteSpeed SLC loop on the MS-9200UDLS. The gateway can be powered by the SLC loop or by a
regulated, external UL-listed, 24VDC power supply. See Section 9.7.
NOTE: When using a Wireless Gateway on the SLC loop, the panel cannot have ANY modules
(wired or wireless) in the address range from 140 to 159.

For details about the wireless network and its devices, see the SWIFT Smart Wireless Integrated
Fire Technology Instruction Manual #LS10036-000FL-E.

9.7.2 W-GATE Powered by the SLC

The W-GATE provides isolation of short circuits on the SLC in Class A (Style 6) installations. SLC
connections are power-limited by the panel. An interruption in the SLC that causes a loss of power
at the W-GATE for more than 100ms may result in a trouble condition and loss of fire protection
provided by the wireless devices for approximately 15 minutes. Use of a regulated, external
+24VDC power source (not SLC power) is recommended for installations that require fire protection in the presence of short circuits, including Class A applications and applications that use isolator modules. Figure 9.6 shows typical wiring of a Wireless Network Gateway connected to an SLC
when power is supplied by the SLC loop

10.1 Description
The BEAM355 and BEAM355S are intelligent, addressable projected beam smoke detectors,
designed for protecting open areas with high and sloping ceilings and wide-open areas, where spot
type smoke detectors are difficult to install and maintain. The BEAM355S has an integral sensitivity test feature that consists of a test filter attached to a servomotor inside the detector optics.
NOTE: This section provides basic wiring and addressing information. For critical information
on device installation, operation and alignment, refer to the Installation Instructions provided with
these devices.

10.2 Installation and Wiring

10.2.1 Setting an SLC Address for a Beam Detector
Each beam detector is factory preset with an address of 00. To set an SLC address, use a common screwdriver to adjust the address rotary code switches on the detector to the desired address
(refer to 5.2.1Setting an SLC address for a Single Point Module on page 34).

Appendix A: Power Considerations

A.1 Supplying Power to 24 VDC Detectors and NACs
A.1.1 Resistance and Size
To determine the minimum resistance that can be tolerated in supplying power to 24 VDC 4-wire
devices and NACs, use the calculation below. Use this resistance to select the proper gauge wire for
the power run from the manufacturers specifications for the desired wire.
For Four-Wire Detectors:
(Vms - Vom)
Rmax =
(N)(Is) + (Na)(Ia) + (Ir)

For NACs:
(Vms - Vom)
Rmax =
(Nb)(Ib)

Where:
Rmax = maximum resistance of the 24 VDC wires
Vms = minimum supply voltage
Vom = minimum operating voltage of the detector or end-of-line relay, whichever is greater, in volts
N = total number of detectors on the 24 VDC supply circuit
Is = detector current in standby
Na = number of detectors on the 24 VDC power circuit which must function at the same time in alarm
Ia = detector current in alarm
Ir = end-of-line relay current
Nb = number of Notification Appliance Devices
Ib = Notification Appliance current when activated

NOTE: This simplified equation assumes that the devices are at the end of a long wire run.

The minimum supply voltages produced by FireLite power supplies are listed below:

Supervising 24 VDC Power

Power Considerations

A.2 Supervising 24 VDC Power

Power used to supply 24 VDC detectors, notification appliances (using the CMF-300), and two
wire detectors (using the MMF-302) can be supervised with a power supervision relay. This relay,
energized by the 24 VDC power itself, is installed at the end of each respective power run and
wired in-line with the supervised circuit of any intelligent module.
24 VDC power must be provided from a UL-listed power supply for fire protection use.
When power is removed from the relay, the normally closed contacts open the supervised circuit,
generating a trouble condition. Therefore, the relay needs to be installed at the end of the supervised circuit, so it will not disrupt the operating capability of all the devices on that circuit. The
relay can be installed in-line with any leg (+ or ) of the supervised NAC circuit, either a Style B
(Class B) or a Style D (Class A) circuit.
The drawing below illustrates this concept.
