Fire Alarm & Emergency Communication System Limitations

While a life safety system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for life and property insurance!

An automatic fire alarm system–typically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control panel (FACP) with remote notification capability–can provide early warning of a developing fire. Such a system, however, does not assure protection against property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire.
An emergency communication system–typically made up of an automatic fire alarm system (as described above) and a life safety communication system that may include an autonomous control unit (ACU), local operating console (LOC), voice communication, and other various interoperable communication methods–can broadcast a mass notification message. Such a system, however, does not assure protection against property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire or life safety event.
The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detectors be located throughout a protected premises following the recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire Protection Association Standard 72 (NFPA 72), manufacturer’s recommendations, State and local codes, and the recommendations contained in the Guide for Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no charge to all installing dealers. This document can be found at http://www.systemsensor.com/appguides/. A study by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (an agency of the United States government) indicated that smoke detectors may not go off in as many as 35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are designed to provide early warning against fire, they do not guarantee warning or protection against fire. A fire alarm system may not provide timely or adequate warning, or simply may not function, for a variety of reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in or behind walls, on roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level or floor of a building. A second-floor detector, for example, may not sense a first-floor or basement fire.
Particles of combustion or “smoke” from a developing fire may not reach the sensing chambers of smoke detectors because:
· Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, chimneys, even wet or humid areas may inhibit particle or smoke flow.
· Smoke particles may become “cold,” stratify, and not reach the ceiling or upper walls where detectors are located.
· Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by air outlets, such as air conditioning vents.
· Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before reaching the detector.
The amount of “smoke” present may be insufficient to alarm smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are designed to alarm at various levels of smoke density. If such density levels are not created by a developing fire at the location of detectors, the detectors will not go into alarm.
Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have sensing limitations. Detectors that have photoelectronic sensing chambers tend to detect smoldering fires better than flaming fires, which have little visible smoke. Detectors that have ionizing-type sensing chambers tend to detect fast-flaming fires better than smoldering fires. Because fires develop in different ways and are often unpredictable in their growth, neither type of detector is necessarily best and a given type of detector may not provide adequate warning of a fire.
Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate warning of fires caused by arson, children playing with matches (especially in bedrooms), smoking in bed, and violent explosions (caused by escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, etc.).
Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and alarm only when heat on their sensors increases at a predetermined rate or reaches a predetermined level. Rate-of-rise heat detectors may be subject to reduced sensitivity over time. For this reason, the rate-ofrise feature of each detector should be tested at least once per year by a qualified fire protection specialist. Heat detectors are designed to protect property, not life.

IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in the same room as the control panel and in rooms used by the system for the connection of alarm transmission wiring, communications, signaling, and/or power. If detectors are not so located, a developing fire may damage the alarm system, compromising its ability to report a fire.
Audible warning devices such as bells, horns, strobes, speakers and displays may not alert people if these devices are located on the other side of closed or partly open doors or are located on another floor of a building. Any warning device may fail to alert people with a disability or those who have recently consumed drugs, alcohol, or medication. Please note that:
· An emergency communication system may take priority over a fire alarm system in the event of a life safety emergency.
· Voice messaging systems must be designed to meet intelligibility requirements as defined by NFPA, local codes, and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
· Language and instructional requirements must be clearly disseminated on any local displays.
· Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures in people with conditions such as epilepsy.
· Studies have shown that certain people, even when they hear a fire alarm signal, do not respond to or comprehend the meaning of the signal. Audible devices, such as horns and bells, can have different tonal patterns and frequencies. It is the property owner’s responsibility to conduct fire drills and other training exercises to make people aware of fire alarm signals and instruct them on the proper reaction to alarm signals.
· In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.
A life safety system will not operate without any electrical power. If AC power fails, the system will operate from standby batteries only for a specified time and only if the batteries have been properly maintained and replaced regularly.
Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible with the control panel. It is essential to use only equipment listed for service with your control panel.
Alarm Signaling Communications:
· IP connections rely on available bandwidth, which could be limited if the network is shared by multiple users or if ISP policies impose restrictions on the amount of data transmitted. Service packages must be carefully chosen to ensure that alarm signals will always have available bandwidth. Outages by the ISP for maintenance and upgrades may also inhibit alarm signals. For added protection, a backup cellular connection is recommended.
· Cellular connections rely on a strong signal. Signal strength can be adversely affected by the network coverage of the cellular carrier, objects and structural barriers at the installation location. Utilize a cellular carrier that has reliable network coverage where the alarm system is installed. For added protection, utilize an external antenna to boost the signal.
· Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premise to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily disabled. For added protection against telephone line failure, backup alarm signaling connections are recommended.
The most common cause of life safety system malfunction is inadequate maintenance. To keep the entire life safety system in excellent working order, ongoing maintenance is required per the manufacturer’s recommendations, and UL and NFPA standards. At a minimum, the requirements of NFPA 72 shall be followed. Environments with large amounts of dust, dirt, or high air velocity require more frequent maintenance. A maintenance agreement should be arranged through the local manufacturer’s representative. Maintenance should be scheduled as required by National and/or local fire codes and should be performed by authorized professional life safety system installers only. Adequate written records of all inspections should be kept.

Installation Precautions

Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long- term reliability:

WARNING – Several different sources of power can be connected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all sources of power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to install, service, or operate this unit until manuals are read and understood.
CAUTION – System Re-acceptance Test after Software Changes: To ensure proper system operation, this product must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 after any programming operation or change in site-specific software. Re-acceptance testing is required after any change, addition or deletion of system components, or after any modification, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring. All components, circuits, system operations, or software functions known to be affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addition, to ensure that other operations are not inadvertently affected, at least 10% of initiating devices that are not directly affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must also be tested and proper system operation verified.
This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0-49º C/32120º F and at a relative humidity 93% ± 2% RH (non-condensing) at 32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 3°F). However, the useful life of the system’s standby batteries and the electronic components may be adversely affected by extreme temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that this system and its peripherals be installed in an environment with a normal room temperature of 15-27º C/60-80º F.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indicating device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% I.R. drop from the specified device voltage.

Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may operate erratically or can be damaged when subjected to lightning induced transients. Although no system is completely immune from lightning transients and interference, proper grounding will reduce susceptibility. Overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended, due to an increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Technical Services Department if any problems are anticipated or encountered.
Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or inserting circuit boards. Failure to do so can damage circuits.
Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling, filing, reaming, or punching of the enclosure. When possible, make all cable entries from the sides or rear. Before making modifications, verify that they will not interfere with battery, transformer, or printed circuit board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal.
This system contains static-sensitive components. Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling any circuits so that static charges are removed from the body. Use static suppressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies removed from the unit.
Units with a touchscreen display should be cleaned with a dry, clean, lint free/microfiber cloth. If additional cleaning is required, apply a small amount of Isopropyl alcohol to the cloth and wipe clean. Do not use detergents, solvents, or water for cleaning. Do not spray liquid directly onto the display.
Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and programming manuals. These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to the control panel and associated equipment. FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper installation.

Installation

This section of the manual is intended to help you plan your tasks to complete the installation. Please read this section thoroughly, especially if you are installing a ECS Series control panel for the first time.

3.1 Environmental Specifications
It is important to protect the ECS panel from water. To prevent water damage, the following precautions should be followed when installing the units:
· Mount in indoor, dry environments only. · Do not mount directly on exterior walls, especially masonry walls (condensation). · Do not mount directly on exterior walls below grade (condensation). · Protect from plumbing leaks. · Protect from splash caused by sprinkler system inspection ports. · Do not mount in areas with humidity-generating equipment (such as dryers, production machinery). When selecting a location to mount the control panel, the unit should be mounted where it will NOT be exposed to temperatures outside the range of 32°F-120°F (0°C-49°C) or humidity outside the range of 10%-93% at 86°F (30°C) non-condensing.

3.2 Wiring Specifications
Induced noise (transfer of electrical energy from one wire to another) can interfere with telephone communication or cause false alarms. To avoid induced noise, follow these guidelines:
· Isolate input wiring from high current output and power wiring. Do not pull one multi-conductor cable for the entire panel. Instead, separate the wiring as follows:

High voltage

Relay circuits

SLC loops

AC power Terminals

Audio input/output

Phone line circuits

Notification circuits

NAC1 through NAC8

SBUS

· Do not pull wires from different groups through the same conduit. If you must run them together, do so for as short a distance as possible or use shielded cable. Connect the shield to earth ground at the panel. You must route high and low voltages separately.
· Ground fault and wire to wire short impedance to any terminal is 0.
· Route the wiring around the inside perimeter of the cabinet. It should not cross the circuit board where it could induce noise into the sensitive microelectronics or pick up unwanted RF noise from the high speed circuits. Refer to the FACP manual for wire routing examples.
· High frequency noise, such as that produced by the inductive reactance of a speaker or bell, can also be reduced by running the wire through ferrite shield beads or by wrapping it around a ferrite toroid.

NOTE: All circuits are power limited except the battery and AC cabling. Maintain 0.25 inch spacing between high and low voltage circuits and between power-limited and non-power limited circuits.

3.3 Cabinet Mounting
Refer to the appropriate FACP manual for cabinet mounting instructions and wire routing examples. See Section 1.4 for a list of related documentation.

4.4.2 Mounting the ECS-50W
The ECS-50W is equipped with a separate enclosure. Refer to Section when selecting a mounting location for the ECS-50W.
The panel should be accessible to main drop wiring runs. It should be mounted as close to the center of the building as possible and located within a secured area, but should be accessible for testing and service.
Mount the control panel cabinet so it is firmly secured to the wall surface. When mounting on concrete, especially when moisture is expected, attach a piece of ¾” plywood to the concrete surface and then attach the cabinet to the plywood. Also mount any other modules to the plywood.
The cabinet can be surface or flush-mounted. If you will be flush-mounting the cabinet, the hole for the enclosure should be 14.5″ W x 24.75″ H x 3.44″ D (36.8cm W x 62.9cm H x 8.7cm D). Do not flush-mount in a wall designated as a fire break. The outside dimensions of the cabinet are 16″ W x 26.5″ H x 4.125″ D (40.6cm W x 67.3cm H x 10.5cm D).
Follow these steps to properly mount the cabinet.
1. Mark and pre-drill hole in the wall for the center top keyhole mounting bolts using the dimensions below. 2. Install center top fastener in the wall with the screw head protruding. 3. Place backbox over the top screw, level and secure. 4. Mark and drill the lower mounting holes.

4.4.4 Wiring Specifications
All wiring and devices installed in the system must meet the standards described in National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), NFPA Standard 72, and Life Safety Code (NFPA 101). To avoid induced noise (transfer of electrical energy from one wire to another), keep input wiring isolated from high-current output and power wiring. Avoid pulling one multi-conductor cable for the entire panel. Separate wiring as follows:

Maintain 0.25″ spacing between each of these circuit types; as well as between power-limited and non power-limited circuits.

Input/Output Type: Non Power-Limited: Power-Limited: Audio:

Wiring AC power, Standby batteries SBUS, VBUS Speaker

DO NOT pull wires from different groups through the same conduit.
Twisted, shielded wire is recommended for all audio circuits to provide the maximum protection against EMI and AFI emission and susceptibility.
If using shielded cable, attach the shield to earth ground on the control panel.
For the same reasons, wiring within the cabinet should be routed around the perimeter of the cabinet. It should not cross the printed circuit board where it could induce noise into the sensitive microelectronics or pick up unwanted RF noise from the high speed circuits.

High frequency noise, such as that produced by the inductive 2 reactance of a speaker or bell, can also be reduced by running the wire through ferrite beads or by wrapping it around a ferrite toroid core. Figure 4.22 provides an example.

4.6.2 Mounting the ECS-125W
The ECS-125W is equipped with a separate enclosure. Refer to Section 3.1 when selecting a mounting location for the ECS-125W.
The panel should be accessible to main drop wiring runs. It should be mounted as close to the center of the building as possible and located within a secured area, but should be accessible for testing and service.
Mount the control panel cabinet so it is firmly secured to the wall surface. When mounting on concrete, especially when moisture is expected, attach a piece of ¾-inch plywood to the concrete surface and then attach the cabinet to the plywood. Also, mount any other modules to the plywood.
The cabinet can be surface or flush-mounted. For flush-mounting the cabinet, the hole for the enclosure should be 14.5″ W x 24.75″ H x 3.44″ D (36.8cm W x 62.9cm H x 8.7cm D). Do not flush-mount in a wall designated as a fire break. The outside dimensions of the cabinet are 16″ W x 26.25″ H x 4.125″ D (40.6cm W x 66.7cm H x 10.5cm D).
Follow these steps to properly mount the cabinet.
1. Mark and pre-drill hole in the wall for the center top keyhole mounting bolts using the dimensions below.

4.6.4 Wiring Specifications

All wiring and devices installed in the system must meet the standards described in National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), NFPA Standard 72, and Life Safety Code (NFPA 101).
To avoid induced noise (transfer of electrical energy from one wire to another), keep input wiring isolated from high-current output and power wiring. Avoid pulling one multi-conductor cable for the entire panel.
Separate wiring as follows:

Maintain 0.25″ spacing between each of these circuit types; as well as between power-limited and non power-limited circuits.

Input/Output Type: Wiring

Non Power-Limited: AC power, Standby batteries

Power-Limited:

SBUS, VBUS

Audio:

Speaker

DO NOT pull wires from different groups through the same conduit.

Twisted, shielded wire is recommended for all audio circuits to provide the maximum protection against EMI and AFI emission and susceptibility.

If using shielded cable, attach the shield to earth ground on the control panel.

For the same reasons, wiring within the cabinet should be routed around the perimeter of the cabinet. It should not cross the printed circuit board where it could induce noise into the sensitive microelectronics or pick up unwanted RF noise from the high speed circuits.

High frequency noise, such as that produced by the inductive reactance of a speaker or bell, can also be reduced by running the wire through ferrite beads or by wrapping it around a ferrite toroid core. Figure 4.41 provides an example.

All wiring and devices installed in the system must meet the standards described in National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), NFPA Standard 72, and Life Safety Code (NFPA 101). To avoid induced noise (transfer of electrical energy from one wire to another), keep input wiring isolated from high-current output and power wiring. Avoid pulling one multi-conductor cable for the entire panel. Instead, separate the wiring as follows:

Maintain 0.25″ spacing between each of these circuit types; as well as between power limited and non power-limited circuits.

Input/Output Type: Non Power-Limited: Power-Limited: Audio:

Wiring AC power, Standby batteries SBUS, VBUS Speaker

DO NOT pull wires from different groups through the same conduit.
Twisted, shielded wire is recommended for all audio circuits to provide the maximum protection against EMI and AFI emission and susceptibility.
If using shielded cable, attach the shield to earth ground on the control panel.
For the same reasons, wiring within the cabinet should be routed around the perimeter of the cabinet. It should not cross the printed circuit board where it could induce noise into the sensitive microelectronics or pick up unwanted RF noise from the high speed circuits.

NOTE: Ground Fault Impedance to any Terminal is 0.

High frequency noise, such as that produced by the inductive reactance of a speaker or bell, can also be reduced by running the wire through ferrite beads or by wrapping it around a ferrite toroid core.

4.7.6 VBUS Wiring
The VBUS is an analog voice bus that carries the recorded voice messages from the ECS-VCM or ECS-NVCM to the ECS-DUAL50W amplifiers, or the voice messages generated from a system microphone to the ECS-DUAL50W amplifiers. The maximum resistance on the VBUS is 20. The ECS-DUAL50W supports two VBUS channels. The wiring method is the same for both channels. VBUS1 and VBUS2 should never be wired together. Connect the VBUS from the ECS-VCM to the ECS-DUAL50W amplifiers as shown in Figure 4.57 and Figure 4.58 or Figure 4.59 and Figure 4.60 for ECS-NVCM.

4.7.8 Setting the ECS-DUAL50W Backup Mode
When the ECS-DUAL50W is connected to an IFP-100ECS or IFP-1000ECS version 13 or prior, see Figure 4.62 below to set the amplifier mode. If using version 14 or later, the mode is set using HFSS (Honeywell Fire Software Suite) and the DIP switch mode selector is ignored. When the ECS-DUAL50W is connected to an IFP-2000ECS, IFP-300ECS, or the IFP-2100ECS, the mode is set using the HFSS Software Suite and the DIP switch mode selector is ignored.
The amplifier modes are as follows: · 50 Watt with backup – Amp A powers audio circuits 1 – 8. Amp A is backed up by onboard Amp B. (Default, DIP setting at position 2). · 100 Watt with no backup – Amp A powers audio circuits 1 – 4. Amp B powers audio circuits 5 – 8. There is no backup.
(DIP setting at position 1). · 100 Watt with backup (requires ECS-50WBU) – Amp A powers audio circuits 1 – 4. Amp B powers audio circuits 5 – 8. The ECS-
50WBU will back up Amp A or Amp B but never both. (DIP setting at position 3). If the ECS-DUAL50W is connected to an IFP-2000ECS or ECS-2100ECS system and configured to operate in a dual channel setup, Amp A and/or Amp B is not restricted to which audio circuits it can power. However, both can never power the same audio circuit.
