SYSTEM COMPONENTS

Terminals

• Power Connection Terminals
  The communicator may be powered from the included Model 372-500-W plug-in DC power supply or 24 VDC auxiliary output of the control panel.

• PowerCom Standby Power
  During a power outage, the communicator draws power from 24 hour a backup battery included in the unit within the enclosure.

• Zones 1‑4
  Terminals Z1 to Z3, G (ground), Z4+ and Z4- provide four zones to connect to individual relay outputs on the control panel. Zone 4 (Z4+ and Z4-) can be connected to the control panel bell output. See Zone 4 Bell Connection.

• Open‑Collector Outputs
  Terminals O1 and O2 can be programmed to indicate the activity of the zones or conditions occurring on the system. Open-Collector outputs do not provide a voltage but instead switch-to-ground the voltage from another source. Maximum voltage is 30 VDC at 50 mA. The outputs can respond to any of the conditions listed below:

  • Activation by zone condition: Steady, Pulse, Momentary, or Follow
  • Communication
  • Armed area annunciation
  • Remote Arming Output

• Dialer Connection
  Directly connect the Telco phone line (tip and ring) from the control panel to the terminal R (Ring) and one into terminal T (Tip). For more information, refer to “CID Dialer Connection”.

• Programming (PROG) Connection
  A 4-pin programming header is provided to connect a keypad when using a DMP Model 330 programming cable. This provides a quick and easy connection for programming the communicator. For 24 VDC applications using the communicator, connect the keypad using a Model 330-24 4-wire programming harness with an in- line resistor. After programming is complete, remove the keypad.

• Caution: If connecting to a 24 VDC control panel, do not connect a keypad using a Model 330 harness.

• Tamper
  The tamper is pressed when the cover of the communicator is secured onto the enclosure. When the cover is removed, the communicator sends a tamper trouble message to the central station.

• Reset Button
  The reset button is located on the upper right side of the circuit board and is used to reset the communicator. After resetting the communicator, begin programming within 30 minutes. If you wait longer than 30 minutes, reset the communicator again.
  Note: After the panel is reset, cell suppression is disabled for 30 minutes.

  • Connect BATT TRBL relay outputs from NC (normally closed) and C (common) to an available zone on the PowerComF. Add a 1k resistor in sequence and program as a Supervisory zone.
• Wiring Specifications
  Use 18 AWG or larger for all power connections. Ensure there is a minimum 0.25” space to keep power limited wiring separate from non-power limited wiring (120 VAC/60 Hz input, battery wires).

APPLICATIONS

CID Dialer Connection

• Directly connect one or both tip and ring terminals from the control panel to the communicator. See Figure 4.
• Note: Do not connect telephone company wires to the communicator. Remove any connected telephone company wires from the control panel.
• This connection captures Contact ID messages from any fire panel that are based on the SIA communication standard DC-05-1999.09-DCS. Messages are then formatted into a Serial 3 message and sent to an SCS-1R Receiver or SCS-VR Receiver.
• Messages can also be sent as a DMP string with raw CID message appended. See Figure 5. This feature requires SCS-VR Version 1.4.6 and higher or SCS-150 Version 107 and higher.

Communication Failure
The phone line voltage on the second tip and ring will drop when the PowerComF is in a communication failure state. This triggers the host panel to annunciate a communication failure. When communication is restored, voltage is restored on the second tip and ring terminal and the host panel sees a restoral on the phone line.

For example, if the power failure delay is set for two hours, then the power failure report will be sent between 2-3 hours. Entering 0 sends the power failure report within 15 seconds.

• SWINGER BYPASS TRIPS
  Enter the number of times (1-6) a zone can go into an alarm or trouble condition within one hour be fore being automatically bypassed. Bypassed zones are automatically reset when the area they are assigned to is disarmed. All 24-hour zones are reset when any area of the system is dis armed. A programming stop operation restores a bypassed zone. Entering 0 disables this function. The default is 2.

  • How it works
    The communicator hour timer starts at 59 minutes past the hour. If the hour timer expires before the trip counter is exceeded, the trip counter returns to

0. If the trip counter is exceeded before the hour expires, the zone is automatically bypassed by the communicator. A bypass re port is sent to the receiver if bypass re ports is set to YES.

  • The area in which the zone is assigned is disarmed.

  • The zone is manually reset through the bypass zones keypad user menu function.

  • The zone remains normal for one hour and reset swinger bypass is set to YES.
    If the zone trips fewer than the specified times within one hour of the first trip, the bypass trip counter returns to 0 and the process must be repeated. A report of the swinger bypass is sent to the receiver if bypass reports is set to YES.

    ---

• CROSS ZONE

  • Choose YES to enable cross zoning for this zone. Cross zoning requires this zone to trip twice, or this zone and another cross-zoned zone to trip, within a programmed time before an alarm report is sent to the receiver. To operate correctly, all cross-zoned zones need to be programmed as the same zone type.
  • When a cross-zoned zone trips, the output action assigned to the zone activates. The cross zone time specified in system options begins to count down. See Cross Zone Time. If another cross-zoned zone in the system faults, or if the first zone restores and faults again before the cross zone time expires, the bell turns on and the communicator sends an alarm report.
  • If no other cross-zoned zone in the system trips before the cross zone time expires, the communicator sends only a fault report from the first zone to the receiver. If cross zone is set to yes, a valid cross zone time must be programmed for this feature.
  • Choose NO to disable cross zoning for this zone. The default is NO.

    ---

• TEST END WARNING
  When no zones have been tripped and five minutes remain on the 20 minute walk test timer, the keypad displays TEST END WARNING and the keypad tones. If no additional test zone trips occur, the test ends and a final sensor reset automatically occurs. The system test end message is sent to the receiver along with verify and fail messages for each zone under walk test. Faulted zones display on the keypad.

• FAILED ZONES DISPLAY
  Each zone that did not trip at least once during the walk test displays on the keypad that initiated the test. Any Panic (PN) or Supervisory (SV) 24-hour zone that is faulted at the end of the walk test displays a trouble condition for that zone regardless of the message programmed for the open or short condition of the zone and a zone trouble is sent to the receiver. Press CMD to display the next failed zone.

• Cross Zoning

  • Caution must be taken when cross zoning devices to ensure that the cross zone time is long enough to allow a trip of both zones before it expires. A cross zone time that is too short may allow a trip of the zones and only a zone fault report be sent to the central station.
    When a cross zoned zone trips, a FAULT report is sent to the SCS-1R or SCS-VR receivers. When two cross zoned zones trip within the cross zone time, both zones send ALARM signals to the receiver. For example, if zones 1 and 2 are cross zoned zones, and only zone 1 trips, a FAULT report is sent to the receiver for zone 1. If zone 1 trips and zone 2 trips within the cross zone time, an ALARM report is sent to the receiver for zone 1 and zone 2.

  • Note: To operate correctly, all cross-zone zones need to be programmed as the same zone type.
