Fire Alarm System Limitations
While a fire alarm system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for fire 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 with remote
notification capabilitycan provide early warning of a develop-
ing fire. Such a system, however, does not assure protection
against property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire.
The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detec-
tors be located throughout a protected premise 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 recommen-
dations contained in the Guide for Proper Use of System
Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no charge to all
installing dealers. A study by the Federal Emergency Man-
agement 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 pro-
vide 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, or
chimneys 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.
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 ion-
izing-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 predeter-
mined 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 pro-
tection 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 sys-
tem for the connection of alarm transmission wiring, communi-
cations, signaling, and/or power. If detectors are not so
located, a developing fire may damage the alarm system, crip-
pling 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.
Any warning device may fail to alert people with a disability or
those who have recently consumed drugs, alcohol or medica-
tion. Please note that:
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 or comprehend the
meaning of the signal. It is the property owner's responsi-
bility to conduct fire drills and other training exercise 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 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 and only if the batteries have
been properly maintained and replaced regularly.
Equipment used in the system may not be technically com-
patible with the control panel. It is essential to use only equip-
ment 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. For added protection against tele-
phone line failure, backup radio transmission systems are rec-
ommended.
The most common cause of fire alarm malfunction is inade-
quate maintenance. To keep the entire fire alarm system in
excellent working order, ongoing maintenance is required per
the manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA stan-
dards. 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 main-
tenance agreement should be arranged through the local man-
ufacturer's representative. Maintenance should be scheduled
monthly or as required by National and/or local fire codes and
should be performed by authorized professional fire alarm
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 associ-
ated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or insert-
ing 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 pro-
gramming operation or change in site-specific software. Re-
acceptance 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 compo-
nents, 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 (non-
condensing) at 32C 2C (90F 3F). However, the useful
life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic com-
ponents 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 indi-
cating 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 light-
ning 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 Ser-
vices Department if any problems are anticipated or encoun-
tered.
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 modifi-
cations, verify that they will not interfere with battery, trans-
former, or 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 han-
dling 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 pro-
gramming manuals. These instructions must be followed to
avoid damage to the control panel and associated equipment.
FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper installation.

Pre-Alarm Warning Mode of Operation 3. Operation of the Control Panel
Pre-Alarm Warning Mode of Operation
How the Control Panel Indicates a Pre-Alarm Warning
The control panel activates a Pre-Alarm Warning if a detector exceeds the programmed Pre-Alarm Alert
or Action level. When a detector activates a Pre-Alarm, the control panel does the following:
Pulses the panel sounder
Flashes the PRE-ALARM LED
Activates the Pre-Alarm zone (F9)
Sends a Pre-Alarm message to the LCD display, History buffer and installed printers, terminal
mode LCD-80s, and CRT-2s
Displays a PREALARM status banner, the Type Code of the detector, and the Pre-Alarm level
(Alert or Action) on the LCD display, along with information specific to the device as shown
in Figure 13.
How to Respond to a Pre-Alarm Warning
Pre-Alarm Alert and Action Levels
The Pre-Alarm function is a programmable option which determines the systems response to real-time
detector sensing values above the programmed setting. Use the Pre-Alarm function if you want to get an
early warning of incipient or potential fire conditions. The Pre-Alarm function provides one of two
levels of Pre-Alarm as follows:
Note: For detailed information on Pre-Alarm applications, refer to the IFC-640 Programming Manual.
Alert a non-latching condition that causes a Pre-Alarm when a detector reaches the
programmed Pre-Alarm level.
Action a latching condition that causes a Pre-Alarm when a detector reaches the programmed
Pre-Alarm level.
Responding to a Pre-Alarm Warning
The Pre-Alarm screen display is the same for both alert and action conditions. Following is a sample
screen for a Pre-Alarm message.
Figure 13 Sample of an Alert Pre-Alarm Message
An Alert Pre-Alarm automatically restores to normal when the detector sensitivity, programmable to
one of nine settings, drops below the programmed Alert level. Zone F09 automatically clears when no
Pre-Alarm conditions exist.
An Action Pre-Alarm latches until you reset the system - even if the detector sensitivity drops below the
Action level. Zone F09 activates - but Zone Z00 (general alarm) and the trouble and alarm relays do not
activate. The fifth zone programmed, not the first four, in the detectors CBE activates. A subsequent
alarm condition for this detector clears the Action indication from the LCD display.
Interpreting Pre-Alarm Type Codes
The Type Code that displays in the Pre-Alarm warning indicates the function of the point that initiates
the Pre-Alarm warning. Refer to the Detectors section of Table 4 for the Type Codes that can appear in
a Pre-Alarm warning, and for descriptions of those Type Codes.

Operation of Special System Timers
What are System Timers?
There are user-programmable time delays for three specific functions: the Auto Silence Timer, the
Alarm Verification Timer, and the Silence Inhibit Timer. Figure 20 shows a sample System Function
Selection screen with system timer settings. For instructions on changing system functions, refer to the
IFC-640 Programming Manual.
How to View System Timer Selections
You can use the Read Status Entry option (explained in Chapter 4) to view the current selection for the
System Timers. To do so, press the keys shown below in sequence:
The LCD display shows the current selections for System Functions, which includes the three system
timers.
Sample LCD display of a System Function screen with system timer selections:
Figure 20 Sample System Function Selection Screen
How System Timers Work
The control panel can operate with special system timers: Auto Silence Timer, Alarm Verification Timer
and Silence Inhibit Timer.
Auto Silence Timer
A timer that functions like pressing the SIGNAL SILENCE key. When the Auto Silence Timer reaches its
programmed value (600-900 seconds), the control panel automatically shuts off all active outputs
programmed as silenceable. To restart the Auto Silence Timer, press the DRILL key.
Alarm Verification Timer
A timer that directs the control panel to ignore a fire alarm for a smoke detector, programmed for Alarm
Verification, while the Alarm Verification Timer is counting. Table 10 contains a summary of how the
Alarm Verification Timer works.

TERM=N AC- DLY=Y LocT BLI NK=01 ST=4 ACS=N
Waterflow Circuit Operation 3. Operation of the Control Panel
Silence Inhibit Timer
A timer that disables the SIGNAL SILENCE key function and inhibits reset during countdown for the
programmed time (0-300 seconds) when a fire alarm occurs. A Silence Inhibit Timer starts at the first
fire alarm. Subsequent alarms will not restart the timer until the alarm condition is completely resolved
and a panel reset is performed.
Waterflow Circuit Operation
If a monitor module programmed with a WATERFLOW Type Code initiates a fire alarm, the control panel
disables the SIGNAL SILENCE key and the Auto Silence Timer. Refer to the IFC-640 Installation Manual
for information on Waterflow circuits.
Style 6 and Style 7 Operation
Style 6 and Style 7 are supervised methods of communicating with addressable devices. If the control
panel detects a trouble (open or short), it will attempt to drive both ends of the loop, maintaining
communication in an unsupervised method. The trouble will display on the panel as a Style 6 trouble
until you correct the condition. Style 7 configuration of the SLC requires the use of M500XJ modules.

How Time Control and Holiday Functions Work
Time and Holiday activation occurs automatically and does not require operator intervention. All
outputs with a CBE list containing F5 or F6 activate within the times specified for the days of the week
listed in F5 or F6. All smoke detectors with a CBE list containing F5 or F6 switch to their lowest
sensitivity (AL:9) within the times specified for the days of the week listed in ZF5 or ZF6. Refer to
Appendix C: AWACS Applications in the IFC-640 Programming Manual for details on setting
detector sensitivity.
Time Control is active for all days of the week listed in F5 or F6. Holidays listed in F7 are excluded
unless you list Holidays (H) in the day-of-week selection of F5 and F6 (shown in Figure 45). Enter the
time functions in a 24-hour format with the OFF time later than the ON time. After changing
programming using Time Control, always reset the control panel.
Note: You can turn a NON FIRE control point on and off, by listing zone F5 or F6 in the CBE list of a control/relay
module.
You can use Time Control zones F5 and F6 to program non-fire applications such as turning lights on
and off, setting a thermostat, and so on. For example, you can program zones F5 and F6 to activate
outputs at one time of day and deactivate outputs at later time, on specified days of a week. Table 16

What is Presignal and PAS?
Presignal is a feature that initially causes alarm signals to only sound in specific areas, monitored by
qualified persons. This allows delay of the alarm from 60 to180 seconds after the start of alarm
processing. The control panel Presignal feature provides two selections:
Note: Presignal differs from the Alarm Verification Timer which does not require human intervention.
A Presignal Delay Timer (60-180 seconds) that delays activation of all outputs with a CBE that
includes Special Zone F0.
A PAS selection, in addition to the Presignal Delay Timer, that allows a 15-second time period
for acknowledging an alarm signal from a fire detection/initiating device. If the alarm is not
acknowledged within 15 seconds, all local and remote outputs activate immediately and
automatically.

Descriptions for Intelligent Detector Functions
Table 18 Intelligent Detector Functions
Function Description
Analog Display The control panel reads and displays analog information from the
318 analog detectors (159 per SLC). The display shows the sensed
air at the detector as a percentage of the alarm threshold for each
detector.
Sensitivity Adjust Nine selections for manually setting intelligent detector alarm
levels within the UL range. If using ionization detectors in duct
applications, set Sensitivity Adjust to Level 1.
Note: Refer to the IFC-640 Programming Manual for detector
sensitivity information.
Day/Night Sensitivity
Operation
You can program the system to automatically force smoke detectors
to minimum sensitivity during the day. Refer to Time, Date, and
Holiday Functions on page 59.
Maintenance Alert When compensation reaches the limit of the amount of drift
compensation that can be safely applied, the control panel reports a
trouble condition, according to National Fire Alarm Code
standards. This condition also activates if the detector remains at
very high or very low measured air levels for an extended time.
Automatic Test
Operation
The control panel performs an automatic test of each detector every
256 minutes. Failure to meet the test limits causes an Auto Test Fail
trouble.
Type Code
Supervision
The control panel monitors hardware device Type Codes for each
installed device at regular intervals (an interval can take up to 40
minutes for a full capacity system). If a mismatch of type compared
to the program occurs, the control panel generates a point trouble
labeled Invalid Type.
LED Control
Operation
A global program selection to prevent detector LEDs from blinking
as a result of polling during normal operation. A typical application
is a sleeping area where a blinking light can distract people. As a
standard function, independent of this programming selection, the
control panel allows all LEDs to turn on in alarm.
Alarm Verification
Timer and Verification
Counter Operation
The control panel performs alarm verification on programmed
intelligent smoke detectors. The Alarm Verification Timer is a
global program selection of 060 seconds (ULC installations can
not exceed 30 seconds). Each detector includes a Verification
Counter, which displays the number of times that a detector entered
verification but did not time-out to alarm. The Verification Counter
increments to 99 and holds.

POINT TROUBLES
TROUBLE TYPE TROUBLE DESCRIPTION ACTION
AC FAILURE The auxiliary power supply has lost AC power. Determine whether there is an AC power loss or
whether the power supply and wiring is correct.
ADRFLT There is more than one device of a single type (detector
or module) with the same SLC address. A detector and a
module can share the same address on an SLC, but two
detectors, or two modules, cannot. Note that some
addressable devices (eg certain power supplies, XPIQs
and RFXs) may not appear to be detectors or modules,
but are addressed on the SLC as such.
Readdress the incorrect device.
ALIGN A beam detector is in configuration mode. No action is necessary, as the trouble will clear when
the configuration is complete. However, the detector
will not detect a fire while this trouble exists.
BLOCK Something has come between the detectors beam and
its reflector.
Investigate and clear the blockage.
CHGFLT The power supplys battery charger is not working
properly.
Correct the fault.
CM LOST Communication has been lost with an RFX Check the RFX to determine the problem.
DIRTY 1 The detector is dirty and needs cleaning Clean the detector.
DIRTY 2 The detector requires cleaning immediately. It is a false
alarm risk.
Clean the detector immediately.
DISABL The point has been disabled. Service and re-enable the point.
GNDFLT There is a ground fault on the main or auxiliary power
supply.
Correct the fault.
HI BAT The auxiliary power supplys battery charge is too high. Check the batteries for problems. Replace batteries if
necessary.
INVREP The device has returned a response to the panel that the
panel did not expect.
Check the device for functionality, addressing and
wiring.
LO BAT The auxiliary power supplys battery charge is low, or the
RFX devices battery charge is low.
Check the batteries for problems. Replace batteries if
necessary.
LO TEMP The temperature read by a Heat+or Acclimate+
detector is too low.
Raise the heat in the area of the detector.
LO VAL The detector chamber reading is too low; the detector is
not operating properly.
The detector must be removed and replaced by an
authorized service representative.
NO ANS The device (module or detector) is not responding to the poll.
Either the device is not working or it is not connected properly.
Determine whether the device is functional, and
connected and addressed properly on the SLC.
NO SIG The device (module or detector) is not responding to the
poll. Either the device is not working or it is not connected
properly.
Determine whether the device is functional, and
connected and addressed properly on the SLC.
OPEN The module device has an open circuit on its supervised
wiring.
Check the connections from the module to the input
or output device to which it is wired.
PSFAIL The power supply is not working properly. Check the battery for problems. Replace battery if
necessary.
SHORT The module device has a short circuit on its supervised
wiring.
Check the connections from the module to the input
or output device to which it is wired.
TAMPER An RFX device has been removed from its base. Check the RFX device for tampering.
TEST F This detector has failed the FACPs periodic detector test
for alarm capabilities.
The detector should be removed and replaced by an
authorized service representative.
VER HI This detector, which has been programmed to participate
in alarm verification, has gone into and come out of
verification its programmed limit without going into alarm.
Either something is wrong with the detector or there is a
condition nearby (such as someone smoking) that causes
it to go into verification frequently.
Check the detector and the conditions nearby to
determine the problem.
XP TBL XPIQ general trouble. Check the XPIQ point for problems
