NOTIFIER N16e/x Fire Alarm Control Panel Owner’s Manual

EFFICIENT, SCALABLE, CONNECTED

General

The NOTIFIER INSPIRE™ Series Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs) bring the latest technology to life safety. Fire emergency detection and evacuation are extremely critical to life safety. With the N16e and N16x panels, NOTIFIER INSPIRE Series offers a scalable platform to meet any size application.

NOTIFIER INSPIRE Series FACPs feature an intuitive 10″ color touchscreen display. This display is color coded with system and status information. Users are presented with vital information that is easy to read and navigate

Offered in a standard preconfigured enclosure, the N16e comes with one Signaling Line Module (SLM) to support 318 intelligent addressable devices and a power supply (PMB) to support four NACs and two auxiliary outputs. Panels can be configured with just a few devices for small building applications or expanded via two open module slots. Add up to two additional Signaling Line Modules (SLM-318) expanding capacity to 954 intelligent addressable devices on a total of three Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) loops, or network with many devices to protect a large campus or a high-rise office block. Simply add additional peripheral equipment to suit the application.

The N16x features a modular design. Order CPU-N16LND, CPUN16LD, or CPU-16 RTO to meet project requirements. Panels can be configured for stand-alone or network systems. The N16x can support up to 10 SLM-318 modules, for a capacity of up to 3,180 intelligent addressable devices. Five enclosure sizes are available to support additional peripheral equipment. A host of other options are available, including single or multichannel integrated voice, and firefighter’s telephone.

The NOTIFIER INSPIRE Series integrates with the Connected Life Safety Services (CLSS) platform through the CLSS Gateway, providing connectivity to central station, cloud, and mobile applications. (See HON-62034.) This cloud-based functionality provides reliable protection and remote programming, testing, and monitoring of the system, along with reduced manual data entry and reporting. Use CLSS to access licensable panel features, VeriFire® Tools, workstation licenses, and more.

FlashScan® Exclusive

World-Leading Detector Protocol

At the heart of the NOTIFIER INSPIRE™ N16e/x panel series 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.

This protocol enables quick identification of an active input device, as well as activation of many output devices in a fraction of the time required by competitive protocols. The high speed also gives N16 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.

NOTIFIER INSPIRE Intelligent Sensing

N16e/x has a set of software algorithms that provide industry-leading smoke detection capability. These complex algorithms process many calculations on each reading of each detector, and are made possible by the high-speed microcomputer used by the N16e/x.

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, usually 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; (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 pre-alarm sensitivity can also be selected, based on predetermined levels of alarm. Prealarm operation can be latching or self-restoring, and can be used to activate special control functions.

Self-Optimizing Pre-Alarm. Each detector may be set for “Self-Optimizing” 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 NOTIFIER INSPIRE Intelligent Sensing is the ability of a smoke sensor to consider readings from nearby sensors in making alarm or pre-alarm 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

Auto program is a timesaving feature. The FACP “learns” what devices are physically connected and automatically loads 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.

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 N16 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 (Version 11.2 and higher)
