NOTIFIER NFS-320SYS Intelligent Addressable Fire Alarm System Owner’s Manual

NOTIFIER NFS-320SYS Intelligent Addressable Fire Alarm System Owner’s Manual

General

The NFS-320SYS intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel is part of the ONYX® Series of Fire Alarm Controls from NOTIFIER.

As a stand-alone small-to-large system, or as a large network, the ONYX Series of products meet virtually every application requirement.

The modular design of the ONYX Series makes system planning easier. The panel can be configured with just a few devices for small building applications, or networked with many devices to protect a large campus or a high-rise office block. Simply add additional peripheral equipment to suit the application. Wireless fire protection can be added with the SWIFT wireless gateway and devices.

NOTE: Unless called out with a version-specific “E” at the end of the part number, “NFS-320SYS” refers to models NFS-320SYS and NFS-320SYSE; similarly, “CPU-320SYS” refers to models CPU-320SYS and CPU-320SYSE

FlashScan, Exclusive World-Leading Detector Protocol

At the heart of the NFS-320SYS is a set of detection devices and device protocol — FlashScan (U.S. Patent 5,539,389). FlashScan is an all-digital protocol that gives superior precision and high noise immunity.

In addition to providing quick identification of an active input device, this protocol can also activate many output devices in a fraction of the time required by competitive protocols. This high speed also allows the NFS-320SYS to have the largest device per loop capacity in the industry — 318 points — yet every input and output device is sampled in less than two seconds. The microprocessor-based FlashScan detectors have bicolor LEDs that can be coded to provide diagnostic information, such as device address during Walk Test.

ONYX Intelligent Sensing

ntelligent sensing is a set of software algorithms that provides the NFS- 320SYS with industry-leading smoke detection capability. These complex algorithms require many calculations on each reading of each detector, and are made possible by the very-high-speed microcomputer used by the NFS-320SYS.

Drift Compensation and Smoothing : Drift compensation allows the detector to retain its original ability to detect actual smoke, and resist false alarms, even as dirt accumulates. It reduces maintenance requirements by allowing the system to automatically perform the periodic sensitivity measurements required by NFPA 72. Smoothing filters are also provided by software to remove transient noise signals, such as those caused by electrical interference.

Maintenance Warnings : When the drift compensation performed for a detector reaches a certain level, the performance of the detector may be compromised, and special warnings are given. There are three warning levels: (1) Low Chamber value, usually indicative of a hardware problem in the detector; (2) Maintenance Alert, indicative of dust accumulation that is near but below the allowed limit; (3) Maintenance Urgent, indicative of dust accumulation above the allowed limit.

Sensitivity Adjust: Nine sensitivity levels are provided for alarm detection. These levels can be set manually, or can change automatically between day and night. Nine levels of prealarm sensitivity can also be selected, based on predetermined levels of alarm. Pre-alarm operation can be latching or selfrestoring, and can be used to activate special control functions.

Self-Optimizing Pre-Alarm : Each detector may be set for “SelfOptimizing” pre-alarm. In this special mode, the detector “learns” its normal environment, measuring the peak analog readings over a long period of time, and setting the pre-alarm level just above these normal peaks.

Cooperating Multi-Detector Sensing : A patented feature of ONYX intelligent sensing is the ability of a smoke sensor to consider readings from nearby sensors in making alarm or prealarm decisions. Without statistical sacrifice in the ability to resist false alarms, it allows a sensor to increase its sensitivity to actual smoke by a factor of almost two to one.

Field Programming Options

Autoprogram is a timesaving feature. The NFS-320SYS  “learns” what devices are physically connected and automatically load them in the program with default values for all parameters. Requiring less than one minute to run, this routine allows the user to have almost immediate fire protection in a new installation, even if only a portion of the detectors are installed.

Keypad Program Edit (with KDM-R2) The NFS-320SYS, like all NOTIFIER intelligent panels, has the exclusive feature of program creation and editing capability from the front panel keypad,

while continuing to provide fire protection. The architecture of the NFS- 320SYS software is such that each point entry carries its own program, including control-by-event links to other points. This allows the program to be entered with independent per-point segments, while the NFS-320SYS simultaneously monitors other (already installed) points for alarm conditions.
VeriFire® Tools is an offline programming and test utility that can greatly reduce installation programming time, and increase confidence in the site specific software. It is Windows®-based and provides technologically advanced capabilities to aid the installer. The installer may create the entire program for the NFS-320SYS in the comfort of the office, test it, store a backup file, then bring it to the site and download from a laptop into the panel.

Placement of Equipment in Chassis and Cabinet

The following guidelines outline the NFS-320SYS’s flexible system design

Rows: The first row of equipment in the cabinet mounts in the chassis shipped with the FACP. Mount the second, third, or fourth rows of equipment in a CHS-4 Series chassis. Other options are available; see your panel’s installation manual.

Wiring: When designing the cabinet layout, consider separation of power- limited and non-power-limited wiring as discussed in the NFS-320SYS Installation Manual.

Positions: A chassis offers four basic side-by-side positions for components; the number of modules that can be mounted in each position depends on the chassis model and the size of the individual module. There are a variety of standoffs and hardware items available for different combinations and configurations of components.

KDM-R2 Controls and Indicators

Program Keypad : QWERTY type (keyboard layout, below).

12 LED indicators : Power; Fire Alarm; Pre-Alarm; Security; Supervisory; System Trouble; Signals Silenced; Points Disabled; Control Active; Abort; Pre- Discharge; Discharge.
