 ANALOG IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM COMPONENTS

DETECTOR and MODULE COMMUNICATION LINES

The AM-6000 System communicates with intelligent and addressable, monitor and control devices through a 2-wire line.
The lines can be wired to meet the requirements of an NFPA STYLE 4, STYLE 6 or STYLE 7.
The peripheral devices are powered using the same line as for data communication.

ISOLATOR MODULES

Isolator Modules (ISO-X) permit a group of devices and modules to be electrically “isolated” from the remainder of the
SLC Loop, allowing critical loops components to operate even in case of a short circuit of the communication line.

MONITOR MODULES

Addressable Monitor Modules (MMX), allow the AM-6000 to monitor N.O. contacts, alarm initiating devices, manual pull
stations, 4-wire conventional smoke detectors, heat detectors, water-flow and supervisory devices.

CONTROL MODULES

Through addressable Control Modules (CMX), the AM-6000 can selectively activate notification appliance circuits or
FORM-C (Voltage free contacts) output relays.

INTELLIGENT DETECTORS

The AM-6000 can communicate with intelligent ionization, photoelectric, thermal and Rate-of-Rise detectors.

LOOP INTERFACE EXPANSION BOARD (LIB 600)

The capacity of each LIB-600 board consists of up to 4 lines. Each line can support up to 99 intelligent detectors, and any
combination of max. 99 addressable pull stations, and control and monitor modules.
The AM-6000 is able to support a maximum of three LIB-600 boards for a total of 16 lines (4 lines on the main board and
12 on the 3 LIB-600 boards).

» Note: the number of addressable devices between ISO-X modules must not exceed 25 devices.
OPERATION

By separating each group of SLC Loop devices, with a pair of ISO-X Trouble Isolator Modules , each device is protected
from opens and short circuits on all other sections.

For instance, a trouble on Section 2 will not affect Section 1 and 3.

The Isolator Modules on either side of Section 2 will open the SLC Loop. Section 1 will still operate from power on Channel
“A”, and Section 3 will operate from Channel B.
Since the control panel will no longer be able to communicate with the SLC Loop devices on Section 2, a trouble signal will
be generated (”INVALID REPLY” from Section 2 Points).
This circuit is a variation of an NFPA Style 6 Signaling Line Circuit, therefore no T-Tapping or branching is allowed.
The ratings and characteristics are the same as for the Style 6 circuit.

 ANALOG SYSTEM LINES TEST PROCEDURE

q Before powering the control panel lines, verify the following values:

» NOTE : DIGITAL VOLTAGE METER NEEDED

a) Line Resistance
Short positive and negative of one end of the system. Place tester probes on the (+) and (-) sides of the line.

OR

STYLE 4 STYLE 6

The resistance CANNOT exceed 40 Ohm.

b) Line Isolation
Remove the prior short circuit. Place the tester probes on the positive (+) and negative (-) sides of the line with detectors or
modules installed, and verify as follows:

OR

STYLE 4 STYLE 6

b1)
Connect :
Tester (+) / Line (+) and Tester (-) / Line (-)
Verify :
Resistance: 1 - 1.3 MOhm

b2)
Connect :
Tester (+) / Line (-) and Tester (-) / Line (+)
Verify :
Resistance: 0.7 - 0.9 MOhm

c) Line and Cable Shield Isolation

Place one probe of the tester on the line wire shield and the other one on the positive (+) side of the line. The resistance
MUST exceed 15 - 20 MOhm, better if “infinite”. Performe the same procedure between the shield and the negative (-)
side of the line, and verify that the resistance exceed 15-20 MOhm.

d) Line and System Earth Isolation

Place one probe of the tester on the System Earth and the other one on the positive (+) side of the line.
The resistance MUST exceed 15 - 20 MOhm, better if “infinite”. Performe the same procedure between earth and the
negative (-) side of the line,and verify that the resistance exceed 15-20 MOhm.

e) Cable Shield and System Earth Isolation

Place one probe of the tester on the System Earth and the other one on the shield. The resistance MUST exceed 15 - 20
MOhm, better if “infinite”.

f) Line Voltage
When the detector/module line is connected, the LIB output voltage (terminal 1 - 3) must be 24 VDC without device polling
(no Points programmed).
A voltage lower than 14 VDC, indicates a polarity inversion on at least one device.

 CABLE REQUIREMENTS

Type of cable: 2-conductor TWISTED-SHIELDED cable.

Sections concerning the line total lenght (for the line “STYLE 6", the operator must consider the loop lenght) which
CANNOT exceed 3000 meters and whose resistance must be lower than 40 Ohm.

Example:

2
• Up to 500 mt. - cable 2 x 0.5 mm
2
• Up to 1.000 mt. - cable 2 x 1 mm
2
• Up to 1.500 mt. - cable 2 x 1.5 mm
2
• Up to 2.000 mt. - cable 2 x 2 mm
2
• Up to 2.500 mt. - cable 2 x 2.5 mm
2
• Up to 3.000 mt. - cable 2 x 3 mm

As far as the laying of cables is concerned, follow the below listed instructions:

- Suitable pipes;
- The cables must run at a proper distance from the power lines and must not be in the vicinity of any High Voltage.

Troubles often may be caused by:

• Air-conditioning installation
• Engines or electric welding machines
• Electrical furnaces and elevators
• Radio links, etc.

ELECTRIC POWER

Power Supply Voltage: 220 V single phase +/- 10%.

Frequency: 50 Hz +/- 1 Hz.

» NOTE: pay special attention when installing the system near big electromagnetic sources (REPEATERS).

EARTH PLANT

The earth plant must be performed according to the CEI and ISPLES rules. The resistance CANNOT exceed
10 Ohm (to be measured at the well with disconnected mains).

 THE 220 VAC POWER SUPPLY LINE

The AM6000 control panel requires connection to a separate 220 VAC 50 Hz line, which must be labeled “FIRE
ALARM”.
No other equipment may be powered from the circuit employed for the fire alarm system.

Overcurrent protection for this circuit must comply with local normatives.
Use proper section wire with minimum 600-volt insulation.

 MAIN POWER SUPPLY CURRENT DRAW CALCULATION
The Main Power Supply must be capable of powering, all internal system devices (and all external devices)
continuously during stand-by condition, which means non-fire alarm condition.
Use table 2 to determine the stand-by load.
Use table 3 to determine the additional current needed during Alarm condition.
The requirements for stand-by and alarm current loads cannot exceed the capabilities of the power supply in
either case.
The Main Power supply provides a 24 VDC current up to 3.0 amps so that the system could operate during
stand-by or alarm condition.
The current load values into tables 2 and 3 are also valid for the AVPS-6 auxiliary power supply.

Fill in the table 2 for devices that must be steadly powered only.

» NOTE
for conventional detectors : in table 2 use the current value indicated for the stand-by condition
(refer to manufacturer’s instructions for detector current draws).
Write the alarm condition absorptions into table 3.

 ALARM CONDITION CURRENT LOAD

The table 3 allows the system designer to determine the current load that must be supported by the main power
supply during an alarm condition.
The total current drawn from the Main Power Supply in alarm condition cannot exceed 3.0 Amps.

Enter the number of devices, for each type, the control panel must power simultaneously during alarm
conditions.

 • Battery charger failure or overload.
It indicates that the battery charger output voltage is less than 21 Vdc

• Disconnected battery or battery fuse trouble.

A periodical test is executed only if the 220 mains is connected (voltage >= 170 VAC) and the main voltage
>= 24,5 VDC. The test goes on for 5 seconds.
This trouble signal indicates the following conditions:
battery voltage <= 21 Vdc
battery fuse disconnected
If the battery is connected, the following test (Faulty battery) follows:

• FAULTY BATTERY Test.

It is executed every minut.
The "Battery Charger Test" signal is activated for 10 seconds; as a consequence of that, the battery charger
output voltage is lower.
The battery charger output voltage is verified to be >= 24,5 VDC with connected batteries.

• Exhausted battery trouble.

This test is executed only in 220 VAC. mains trouble conditions (<=170 VAC)
The battery voltage is verified to be <= 23 Vdc.

• Battery Release.
When the mains voltage is insufficent (<=170 Vac) and the battery voltage is <=20 Vdc, the battery release
relay is activated to avoid a damage on batteries and possible incorrect functionalities on the control panel,
causing the control panel switching off.

• Unbalanced battery recharger trouble.

The separate batteries voltage are verified to be at most half the recharger output voltage +/- 1,3 V.
