Fire Alarm System Limitations An automatic fire alarm system–typically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control 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.
Installation Precautions 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 this manual is read and understood. CAUTION - System Reacceptance Test after Software Changes.

3. Design Considerations Limits The standard Fire•Lite EIA-485 circuit can drive up to 32 annunciators or expanders. The number of annunciators that can engage in two-way communication is dependent on the number of addresses available with a given fire alarm control panel. The actual number of annunciator/expander modules that can be powered in a particular system depends on the current available from the control panel’s power supply.
3. Design Considerations Receive Only and Transmit/Receive Receive Only and Transmit/Receive For redundant annunciation of system points, annunciators can be configured as “Receive Only” annunciators. Receive Only annunciators must be set to the same address as the annunciators they duplicate. Receive Only annunciators intercept information being transmitted to a “Receive/Transmit” annunciator for duplication at an intermediate display location.
3. Design Considerations Electrical Ratings Electrical Ratings Input Voltage: 24 VDC (must be filtered and power-limited). Current Draw from 24 VDC Input: Standby Alarm ACM-16ATF & ACM-32AF Series 0.040 amps 0.056 amps AEM-16ATF & AEM-32AF Series 0.002 amps 0.018 amps Data Communications Port: EIA-485 operating at 20 Kbps (must be powerlimited).

Appendix A: Sensiscan 200 Capabilities When installed with a Sensiscan 200, the modules can annunciate the status of initiating and notification circuits, relays, and several system control functions. Up to 32 devices can be connected to the EIA-485 communications output, all addresses combined. Two way communications can occur with only one annunciator set to address “1”; other devices must be configured as “Receive Only”. Check battery calculation tables for power limitations.
Appendix A: Sensiscan 200 Providing Power to Annunciators This communication circuit is supervised by the Sensiscan 200. Loss of communication results in “System Trouble” and “Module Failure” indications at the CPU. Note: “System Trouble” and “Module Failure” will occur if the normally closed supervisory path between Trouble Input Terminals of TB1 on the annunciator is opened (or the jumper has not been installed).
Appendix A: Sensiscan 200 Program Mapping Program Mapping Annunciator points “track” or follow those system points they are programmed to annunciate; they do not latch. The table outlines the annunciation of various system circuits and functions. Note: Control Switches marked “not used” will still function as local LAMP TEST or local ACKNOWLEDGE switches for their respective points.

Appendix B: Sensiscan 2000 Capabilities When installed with a Sensiscan 2000, the modules can annunciate the status of initiating and notification circuits, relays, and several system control functions. Each annunciator LED is automatically assigned to one and only one system point. Note: To operate the annunciator module, the CPU must be Revision D or greater. The revision level of the CPU is marked on a label affixed to the upper board.
Appendix B: Sensiscan 2000 Connecting the EIA-485 Circuit Connecting the EIA-485 Circuit Communication between the control panel and the annunciator module is accomplished over a two-wire EIA-485 serial interface. • Power-limited and supervised. • 6000 feet maximum distance (with 16 AWG wire) between the control panel and the furthest annunciator. • Use twisted pair cable with a characteristic impedance of approximately 120 ohms. • EIA-485 circuit rated 5.5 VDC max., 60 mA max.
Appendix B: Sensiscan 2000 Providing Power to Annunciators Providing Power to Annunciators Sensiscan 2000 panels use the MPS-24AF or the MPS-24BF Main Power Supply. This 24 VDC output is filtered, regulated, power-limited, and nonresettable. MPS-24AF - 3 A maximum current draw MPS-24BF - 200 mA maximum current draw The power run to the annunciator does not require a Power Supervision Relay because loss of power is inherently supervised through a communications loss.
Appendix B: Sensiscan 2000 Installing Modules in the System Installing Modules in the System The annunciator modules begin annunciation with the CPU and continue with the annunciation of circuits on the module installed directly after the CPU. To ensure full employment of annunciator points, mount system modules that require annunciation in the CPU row first, then in the second row, etc. Modules with circuits that need not be annunciated by the system should be installed further down in the cabinet.
