3.0 Conventions 3.1 Circuits

Refers to a physical electrical interface for the analog loop, indicating signals or relays, andcommon alarm, supervisory, and trouble relay outputs.

3.2 Zone/Group

Is a logical concept for a Fire Alarm Protected Area, and will consist of at least one Circuit.Groups are used extensively in the FX-350 to facilitate annunciation of multiple input andoutput points on the 32 (up to 64) LED display and to facilitate bypassing of inputs andoutputs.

3.3 Display Points

The FX-350 provides an LCD display to annunciate the status of the system and connecteddevices. The FX-351 and FX-353 also provides up to 64 LED display points on the panel frontin addition to the LCD display. Display points may be assigned to LEDs during configuration togroups of inputs or outputs. There are two LEDs for every display point: one single color(amber) and one dual color (red/amber).

3.4 Wiring Styles

The analog loop can be connected in Class B (Style Y) or Class A (Style D) configurations.Changing the indicating circuits to Class A requires an OCAC-304 adder board which willconvert four indicating zones from Class B (Style Y) circuits to Class A (Style Z). This is donewithout reducing the number of circuits.

Note: The Model FX-350-60-R and FX-350-60DR panels DO NOT recognize any devices with addresses higher than 60.i

7.0 Circuits and Devices7.1 Addressable/Analog Devices

The FX-350 supports up to 3 loops of addressable/analog devices. The device loop can beused to connect up to 60, 126 or 378 analog devices and addressable input or output moduleson an unshielded twisted pair (UTP). The devices must be compatible with the Mircom deviceprotocol.

The loop interface software continuously supervises the devices on its loop against thosefound during configuration for the following conditions:

• device missing• unconfigured device responding• two or more devices responding to the same address• wrong device type

A communication or addressing error on a device is reported as a trouble on the associatedzone LED if configured.

The addressable loop can be configured for class A or B operation. "T-tapping" is allowed(Refer to device installation documentation for details).

Devices on the loop have an optional LED which normally flashes when the device is polledand goes ON steady when the device is active (alarm for an input device or active for anoutput device). The flashing of the LED on polling for sensors can be suppressed duringconfiguration. For input or output modules, the LED always flashes when polling. The softwarelimits the maximum number of the devices which can have their LED turned ON when active tofifteen (15).

Certain devices are designed to support an optional external LED, which operates when theLED on the device is activated. Remote/external LEDs must NOT be used on this system. Thepanel can provide up to 350mA of current to the devices on the loop. A maximum line loss of 5volts is permitted, so the loop distance, wire size, and maximum number of devices are limitedby this constraint.

The devices should be installed using unshielded twisted pair (UTP). The total line drop on theloop must not exceed 5 volts at the last device. The calculations required to determine themaximum permissible loop wiring distance with various combinations of devices is relativelycomplicated, and when isolators are used, includes a consideration of device inrush currentswhich must not exceed 20mA for a single isolator. In no case should more that twenty devicesbe connected to a single isolator. To simplify the calculation process, please utilize the loopcalculator program located on the Mircom website at http:/www.mircom.com in order todetermine maximum loop lengths, number of devices, and wire sizes etc.

It is also important to note that the device LEDs present a significant extra load on the loopwhich must be considered in calculating permissible loop lengths, battery capacities, etc.Please refer to the device Installation Instructions and other documentation provided with theaddressable devices, bases, and isolators for further information. The system willautomatically limit the maximum number of device LEDs which can be illuminated to15.

7.2 Analog Devices

The system supports Mircom MIX-3000 Series photo, ion, multi-sensor and thermal (heat)type analog detectors, as well as contact input and output devices. The detectors may beconfigured as non-verified or verified alarm inputs. To determine an alarm condition, thesystem polls the analog device and compares the analog value against stored thresholds forpre-alarm and alarm conditions.

A range of thresholds is provided for each type of analog device (except for contact devices),corresponding to the agency approved range of threshold for a particular device type. Eachdevice can be individually configured to a value in the range of threshold for “day time” andone for the “night time” or after hours operation; i.e. a device may be configured to a lowsensitivity for “day time” and high sensitivity at “night time”. The day time threshold will be usedunless the after hours operation is active.

7.2.1 Drift CompensationThe FX-350 will automatically adjust for gradually increasing affects of dust and otheraccumulations of dirt in the detectors. It will adjust the thresholds to compensate for a detectorgoing dirty according to the gradual change in the normal clean air value received. When it canno longer compensate for an increasingly dirty detector, a dirty detector trouble is indicated forthat device.

7.2.2 Auto TestPeriodically each detector is commanded to return an alarm value to test its ability to alarm. Ifit fails the test, a trouble is indicated on that device.

7.3 Contact InputsContact input modules on the addressable/analog device loop may be configured as any ofthe following input types:

7.4 Contact Outputs

Contact output modules on the addressable/analog device loop may be configured as any ofthe following output types:

• signals• strobes• relay outputs

Analog devices may be installed with relay or sounder bases. The outputs of these bases areactivated when the device active LED turns ON steady in response to an alarm. The commandto activate the output is separate from the command that activates the LED and they are notsubject to the same restrictions as the LED. Output modules configured as signals are notstroked by software at the current signal rate. When the system commands them to be eitherin alert or in evacuation, the panel will simply activate them continuously. It is possible toprovide stroked operation by connecting the signal power to a conventional signal outputwhich is stroking at the correct rate when the device is active. Depending on the device, thesystem can detect open and short troubles and report it as an output circuit trouble.

8.2 Loop Isolators

To limit the number of addressable devices compromised by a short on the addressable loop,isolators (MIX-100X, 100XH, or 100XB) may be used to isolate the affect of the short circuit. Ifthe impact of a short circuit must be limited to only one device, an isolating base must be usedfor each detector. A maximum of twenty devices can be connected between isolators, orbetween the panel and the first isolator, as long as the maximum in-rush current for thedevices on one segment of the loop does not exceed 20 mA. Refer to the installationinstructions for addressable devices for additional details.

8.3 Loop Operation

When there is a short circuit on the Class A loop with isolators installed, the isolators isolatethe shorted fault, the panel detects it as an open loop and generates an open loop trouble.

Field Wiring

When a Class A loop is opened there may be a few missing devices reported by the panelwhich will be restored once the panel has established the Class A connection.

8.4 Indicating (Powered Output) Circuits

Powered output circuits can be configured as signal, strobe or relay outputs. Powered outputcircuits are supervised while they are not active for both open circuits and shorts. The circuitwill not actually be activated if there is a short trouble on the circuit. It will be activated if anopen trouble is indicated. Since open circuit supervision does not operate while the circuit is inalarm, if the circuit was in trouble before it was activated, it will still indicate trouble whileactive. The trouble condition will be re-evaluated when supervision resumes.

Output circuits configured as strobes can have sync protocol for synchronization if configured.Certain strobe and strobe/horns models of the following manufacturers are supported.

• All normal non-sychronized horns• Faraday• System Sensor• Wheelock• Gentex• Mircom

When configured as normal, the output circuit is ON continuously when activated and does notuse any sync protocol. When configured as non-silenceable strobes, the strobes cannot besilenced, but the horn can be silenced by pressing the 'signal silence' button

If the strobe is configured as silenceable strobe both the horn and the strobe are silenced(stopped) by pressing the 'signal silence' button

8.5 Indicating Circuit Wiring

The FX-350 Series Addressable Fire Alarm Panel supports Class B (Style Y) and Class A(Style Z) wiring for its indicating circuits. Each circuit is supervised by a 3.9K End-of-Lineresistor. Each indicating circuit provides up to 1.7 Amperes, total 5 Amperes of currentmaximum if no auxiliary power is used. Wire indicating circuits as in Figure 11 for Class B(Style Y) or as in Figure 12 for Class A (Style Z).

Note: When there is an "Open loop trouble" look for both open and shorts on the loop. As a guide line the isolators which are activated in response to a short will have their LED ON; look for the short between the two isolators with their LEDs ON.

9.0 System Checkout9.1 Before turning the power “ON”

To prevent sparking, do not connect the batteries. Connect the batteries after powering thesystem from the main AC supply.

1. Check that all adder modules are installed in the proper location with the proper connections.

2. Check all field (external) wiring for opens, shorts, and ground.

3. Check that all interconnection cables are secure, and that all connectors are plugged in properly.

4. Check all jumpers and switches for proper setting.

5. Check the AC power wiring for proper connection.

6. Check that the chassis is connected to earth ground (cold water pipe).

7. Make sure to close the front cover plate before powering the system from main AC supply.

The best way to set up a panel for the first time is to avoid connecting any field wiring at first.To begin set up, power up the panel with end of line resistors connected where appropriate,then connect the battery. The panel will show “System Restart Active”. Press System Resetbutton to reset the panel. If the panel is free of trouble, connect one circuit at a time, checkingfor troubles each time. If a trouble occurs at any point during the set-up, correct the fault, thencontinue connecting the field wiring.

9.2 Power-up procedure

After completing the system checkout procedures outlined above,

1. Power up the panel. The "AC-ON" green LED and the “Common Trouble” LED should illuminate, and the buzzer should sound. Press the “System Reset” button. Since the batteries are not connected, the trouble buzzer should sound intermittently and the common trouble LED should flash.

2. Connect the batteries while observing correct polarity: the red wire is positive (+) and black wire is negative(-). All indicators should be OFF except for normal power "AC ON" green LED.

3. Configure the Fire Alarm Control Panel as described in the System Configuration section.

10.0 Troubleshooting Symptoms Possible Cause

Circuit Trouble Normally when a circuit trouble occurs, its designated trouble indicator will be illuminated,well as the common trouble indicator and trouble buzzer. To correct the fault, check for opwiring on that particular circuit loop or that the Circuit Disconnect Switch is in the ONCLOSED position. Note: Disconnecting a Circuit will cause a system trouble (off-normposition).

Remote Trouble Remote Trouble will be indicated on the main panel display for any failure reported by,failure to communicate with a remote annunciator or other remote device.

Ground Fault This panel has a common ground fault detector. To correct the fault, check for any exterwiring touching the chassis or other Earth Ground connection.

Battery Trouble Check for the presence of batteries and their conditions. Low voltage (below 20.4V) wcause a battery trouble. If battery trouble condition persists, replace batteries as soon possible.

Walk Test Mode If the Walk Test LED is illuminated steadily, the system is in Walk Test Mode.

Common Trouble If only a common trouble is indicated on the main panel and none of the above confirmtrouble indicators are ON, check the following for possible fault:

• Check for any missing interconnection wiring.

• Check for any Module missing that was part of the Configuration.

• Check for improperly secured cabling.

11.2.10System Reset ButtonThe System Reset button resets the panel and all circuits:

11.2.11AUTOMATIC ALARM SIGNAL CANCEL Button (Two Stage or PAS only)If the panel is configured for two stage operation, activation of the AUTOMATIC ALARMSIGNAL CANCEL button while the Auto General Alarm Timer is timing (e.g. there is an alarmin the panel but it is still in the first stage) cancels the timer and turns the AUTOMATIC ALARMSIGNAL CANCEL LED ON steady amber. If the panel is configured for Positive AlarmSequence (PAS), activation of the AUTOMATIC ALARM SIGNAL CANCEL button within 15seconds of a PAS alarm will delay a common alarm activation for 60 seconds.

11.2.12Lamp Test ButtonPressing and holding the Lamp Test button causes all front panel indicators to illuminate andsounds the buzzer steadily. Bi-coloured LEDs will illuminate twice to show both colors. If lamptest is active for more than ten seconds, the Common Trouble LED activates.

11.3 Single Stage Operation

In a single stage system, all alarm inputs are treated in a similar manner. Alarm inputs includeany of the following: non-verified alarm, verified alarm, waterflow alarm, and general alarmcircuits. Any of these alarm inputs occurring when the panel is not already in alarm cause thefollowing:

• The buzzer sounds steadily• If fire drill is active, it is cancelled• The Common Alarm LED turns ON• The Common Alarm relay activates if Aux disconnect is not active• The Auto Signal Silence timer, if configured, starts. For UL installations, disable Auto

Signal Silence.• The Signal Silence Inhibit timer, if configured, starts• All non-disconnected indicating programmed to the input are activated provided that Aux

disconnect is not active

• Resets Aux Resettable Power Supply • Turns off all Indicating Circuits• Turns OFF Signal Silence, Ack & GA LEDs • Turns off Fire Drill• Stops and resets all Timers • Processes inputs as new events

• Aux Disconnect is not affected• Reset cannot be activated until the

Signal Silence Inhibit timer has expired

• Pressing Reset button after a PAS Acknowledge will reset the system and clear the alarm event.

Attention: After power-up, press the System Reset button to bring the system tonormal and restore the “system power up” trouble.!

47


• Non-disconnected strobes associated with the input are activated• Non-disconnected signals associated with the input are activated at the evacuation rate

Pressing the General Alarm button on the panel also initiates a general alarm.

Subsequent alarms when the panel is already in alarm, cause the following:

• The alert buzzer sounds steadily • If Signals have been silenced, they are resounded, the Signal Silence LED turns OFF,

and the Auto Signal Silence timer, if configured, is restarted. For UL installations, disable Auto Signal Silence.

• Any additional non-disconnected strobes associated with the input are activated continuously

• Any additional non-disconnected signals associated with the new input are activated at the evacuation rate

11.4 Two-Stage Operation

In a Two-Stage system, alarm inputs are either First Stage (alert) inputs or Second Stage(general alarm) inputs. First stage inputs include inputs from the following types of circuits:non-verified alarm, verified alarm, and waterflow alarm. Second stage inputs include alarmson the general alarm circuits, activation of the General Alarm button, or expiration of the AutoGeneral Alarm timer. Any of these alarm inputs occurring when the panel is not already inalarm cause the following:

• The buzzer sounds steadily.• If fire drill is active, it is cancelled.• The Common Alarm LED turns ON• The Common Alarm relay activates if Aux disconnect is not active.• The Auto Signal Silence timer, if configured, starts. For UL installations, disable Auto

Signal Silence.• The Signal Silence Inhibit timer, if configured, starts.• All non-disconnected outputs programmed to the input are activated provided that Aux

disconnect is not active.

If the alarm is a Second Stage alarm,

• All non-disconnected strobe circuits are activated continuously, if correlated to an alarm input.

• All non-disconnected signal circuits are activated at the evacuation rate, if correlated to an alarm input.

• The General Alarm LED turns ON.

If the alarm is a First Stage alarm,

• Non-disconnected strobe circuits programmed to that circuit are activated continuously.• Non-disconnected signal circuits programmed to that circuit are activated with the alert

code (see section 11.8 Output Types on page 53).• The Auto General Alarm timer, if configured, starts.

Subsequent First Stage alarms when the panel is already in alarm, cause the following:

• The buzzer sounds steadily.• If signals have been silenced as a result of the silence button or the Auto signal silence

timer, signals are resounded as they were before signal silence, the Signal Silence LED

48


turns OFF, and the Auto Signal Silence timer, if configured, is restarted. For UL installations, disable Auto Signal Silence.

• If the panel is not already in General Alarm, additional non-disconnected signals programmed to the new input are activated with the Alert Code (see section 11.8 Output Types on page 53).

• If the panel is not already in General Alarm and if the AUTOMATIC ALARM SIGNAL CANCEL LED is ON steady indicating that the Auto General Alarm timer has been acknowledged the timer is restarted and the AUTOMATIC ALARM SIGNAL CANCEL LED is extinguished.

A second stage alarm (general alarm) when the panel is already in alarm causes the following:

• The buzzer sounds steadily.• All non-disconnected signals are activated at the evacuation rate.• If the Signal Silence LED is ON, it turns OFF and the Auto Signal Silence timer, if

configured, is restarted. For UL installations, disable Auto Signal Silence.• The AUTOMATIC ALARM SIGNAL CANCEL LED if ON, turns OFF.

Alarm inputs are latching, they remain active until system reset.

11.5 Positive Alarm Sequence

In a Positive Alarm Sequence (PAS) system, only smoke detectors can be dedicated as PASinputs. PAS Inputs can only be from the following types of circuits: non-verified alarm andverified alarm. Any of these alarm inputs occurring when the panel is not already in alarmcause the following:

• The buzzer sounds steadily.• If fire drill is active, it is cancelled.• The Common Alarm LED turns ON• The individual zone LED (if programmed) turns ON.• The Common Alarm relay does not activate.• The PAS timer starts for 15 seconds.• All outputs programmed to the input are not activated.
