Mircom FX-3318 Single Loop Intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel Owner’s Manual

Mircom FX-3318 Single Loop Intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel

Description

Mircom’s FX-3318 Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel is an intelligent addressable multi-zoned panel with exceptional value while not compromising the Mircom features needed to satisfy small to medium jobs.
The FX-3318 is shipped pre-assembled with all main components including: main board, power supply, transformer, and main display in a red enclosure.
A built-in dialer is included to communicate panel status to the remote central monitoring station using 2 dedicated phone lines. Both SIA and Contact ID are supported
Up to 7 annunciators can be added with enclosure options in red, white or NEW stainless steel.
It has one built in signaling line circuit (SLC). With Mircom’s Advanced Protocol (AP) a superior group polling method as well as an interrupt feature, allows a faster response to an alarm. The AP or Advanced Protocol allows for greater system capacity with support for up to 318 devices in AP mode and offers legacy CLIP support of up to 198 devices.
FX-3318 has four Power Limited Class B (Style Y) or Class A (Style Z) NAC circuits.

NAC circuits may be configured as silenceable signal, non-silenceable signal, silenceable strobes, non-silenceable strobes, or relay output. The audible signal may be Steady, Temporal Code, California Code, or March Time.Sync strobe protocols are supported from major manufacturers.

The built-in trim ring accommodates both retrofits and new installs reducing time with semi-flush or surface mountable options.
The panel is UL, 9th edition listed and has COA and CSFM listings.

Features

• One onboard SLC communication circuit
• Supports up to 318 intelligent devices in AP mode
• Legacy Clip support of up to 198 devices
• Built-in Dialer Module for remote monitoring
• 4 x 20 LCD with 80 characters
•  Supports up to 7 annunciators
• Optional City Tie/Polarity Reversal module for central station monitoring & field installable
• Four Power Limited Class B (Style Y) or Class A (Style Z) NAC circuits (max 1.5 Amps each – 5.0 amps total).
• Auxiliary power is available in the form of 24V FWR unfiltered and unsupervised, 24VDC filtered and regulated, and resettable auxiliary power supply.
• Positive Alarm Sequence (PAS)- provides an alarm delay of up to 180 seconds if an alarm is acknowledge at the control panel within 15 seconds. This action provides the responding personnel time to investigate an alarm before evacuating a building.
• Supports sync strobe protocols from major manufacturers.
• Two-stage, alarm verification, waterflow retard and positive alarm sequence operations.
• Configurable Signal Silence Inhibit, Auto Signal Silence, and One-Man Walk Test.

User Interfaces

Indication and Controls:

• 12 control buttons with associated LEDs
• 16 button Numeric Keypad with cursor buttons

LCD Display:
The display is a four line, 4 x 20 80 character back-lit alphanumeric LCD.
It displays information regarding the panel, its circuits, and devices. Report information provided by the LCD display includes:

• Alarm Log
• Event Log
• Current Levels
• Device Information
• Verification and Maintenance Reports

BATTERIES:
BAT-12V12A (12 AH) and BAT-12V18A (18 AH) will fit into the FX-3318 enclosure. To house BAT-12V26A (26 AH) batteries a BC-160/R Battery Cabinet is required. Use of alternative batteries may result in failure of the panel to meet agency and regulatory requirements and may result in shortened battery life. Batteries should be tested regularly and replaced at least every three years.
