FlashScan®

Exclusive World-Leading Detector Protocol

speed also allows the NFS-640 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.

Intelligent Sensing

Intelligent sensing is a set of software algorithms that provide
the NFS-640 with industry-leading smoke detection capability.
These complex algorithms require many calculations on each reading of each detector, and are made possible by the veryhigh-speed microcomputer used by the NFS-640.

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 “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 this 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 of the NFS-640. It is a special software routine that allows the NFS-640 to “learn” 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-2) The NFS-640, 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-640 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 perpoint segments, while the NFS-640 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-640 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.

Network Diagram

Placement of Equipment in Chassis and Cabinet

The following guidelines outline the NFS-640’s flexible system design.

Rows: The first row of equipment in the cabinet mounts in chassis CHS-M2. Mount the second, third, or fourth rows of equipment in chassis CHS-4MB (see NFS-640 Installation Manual regarding panel output modules) or CHS-4L (for voice components, see Voice Alarm System Manual).

Wiring: When designing the cabinet layout, consider separation of power- limited and non-power-limited wiring as discussed in the NFS-640 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.

It is critical that all mounting holes of the NFS-640 are secured with a screw or standoff to ensure continuity of Earth Ground.

Layers: The CHS-M2 accepts four layers of equipment, including the control panel. The CPU-640 fills three positions (left to right) in the first- installed layer (the back of the chassis); its integral power supply occupies (the left) two positions in the next two layers; the optional display occupies (the left) two positions at the front, flush with the door. Panel output modules can be mounted in several layers with standoffs or an L-bracket as required. Some equipment, such as the NCA, may be doormounted directly in front of the control panel. The NCA mounts onto the DP-DISP or ADP-4B. The NCA can be used as a primary display for the NFS 640 by directly connecting their network ports (required in Canadian stand-alone applications).

Expansion: Installing an LEM-320 Loop Expander Module adds a second SLC loop to the control panel. The LEM-320 is mounted onto the CPU-640, occupying the middle-right, second (back) slot on the chassis. If networking two or more control panels, each unit requires a NCM-W (wire) or NCM-F (fiber) Network Control Module. The NCM-W/-F can be installed in any panel output module position (see manual); the default position is at the back of the chassis next to the control panel. Option boards can be mounted in front of the LEM-320 or NCM modules; for ease of access, complete installation of those devices before mounting another layer.

KDM-2 Controls and Indicators

Program Keypad: QWERTY type (keyboard layout). 8 LED indicators: Power; Fire Alarm; Pre-Alarm; Security; Supervisory; System Trouble; Signals Silenced; Points Disabled.

Membrane Switch Controls: Acknowledge/Scroll Display; Signal Silence; Drill; System Reset; Lamp Test.

LCD Display: 80 characters (2 x 40) with long-life LED backlight.

Configuration Guidelines

Stand-alone and network systems require a main display. On single-CPU systems (one CPU-640/-640E), display options are the KDM-2 or the NCA. On network systems (two or more CPU640/-640Es), at least one NCA or NCS annunciation device is required. Other options listed as follows:

KDM-2: 80-character backlit LCD display with QWERTY programming and control keypad. Order two BMP-1 blank modules and DP-DISP mounting plate separately. Requires top row of a cabinet.

NCA: Network Control Annunciator, 640 characters. On single CPU-640/-640E systems, the NCA is the Primary Display for the panel and connects directly to the CPU-640/-640E. On network systems (two or more CPU-640/-640Es), one network display (either NCA or NCS) is required for every system. On network systems, the NCA connects (and requires) an NCM network communications module. Mounts in a row of FACP node or in two annunciator positions. Mounting options include the DPDISP, ADP-4B, or in an annunciator box, such as the ABS-2D. In
