FA-300-6L Installation and Operation Manual Industry Canada and FCC Notice Notice for all FA-300 Series Built-In UDACTs Sold in Canada Mircom's FA-300 SERIES BUILT-IN UDACT Communicator described in this manual is listed by Underwriters Laboratories Canada (ULC) for use in slave application in conjunction with a Listed Fire Alarm Control Panel under Standard ULC-S527 (Standard for Control Units for Fire Alarm Systems) and ULC/ORD-C693-1994 (Central Station Fire Protective Signalling Systems and Services).
Introduction Introduction Mircom's FA-300 Series Fire Alarm Control Panel is a Digital Signal Processor (DSP)-based fire panel. The FA300 provides six supervised Class B or A (Style B or D) Initiating circuits, and four supervised Class B or A (Style Y or Z) indicating circuits. All circuits are supervised for opens and ground faults, and indicating circuits are supervised for shorts.
FA-300-6L Installation and Operation Manual Conventions Circuits Refers to an actual electrical interface for Initiating (Detection) and Indicating (Signal) or Relays. Zone Is a logical concept for a Fire Alarm Protected Area, and will consist of at least one Circuit. Often the terms Zone and Circuit are used interchangeably, but in this Manual the term Circuit is used. Display Points There is a display point associated with every initiating and indicating circuit of the FA-300 LED Series fire panel.
System Components System Components Main Fire Control Panel Model Description FA-300-6LD(R/W)* 6 Zone Fire Alarm Control Panel with LED display (white door, black box). 6 Class B (Style B) Initiating circuits, and two Power Limited Class B (Style Y) Indicating circuits (up to 1.70 amperes each, 5 amperes total).

System Checkout System Checkout Before turning the power “ON” To prevent sparking, do not connect the batteries. Connect the batteries after powering the system from the main AC supply. 1. Check that all modules are installed in the proper location with the proper connections. 2. Check all field (external) wiring for opens, shorts, and ground. 3. Check that all interconnection cables are secure, and that all connectors are plugged in properly. 4. Check all jumpers and switches for proper setting. 5.
FA-300-6L Installation and Operation Manual Indicators, Controls and Operations Refer to Figure 18 below for LED Indicator and Control Button locations.
Indicators, Controls and Operations Common Indicators Buzzer The Buzzer is activated by any of the following events: Fire Alarm: Supervisory Alarm: Trouble: Steady Fast Flash Trouble Flash Rate If the Buzzer is turned on in response to a Non-Latching Trouble or Supervisory, it will be turned off if the condition causing it goes away and there is no other reason for it to be on. AC ON LED The green AC ON Indicator will steadily illuminate as long as the main AC power is above minimum level.
FA-300-6L Installation and Operation Manual Signal Silence LED The Signal Silence indicator flashes amber, at the trouble rate, when indication Circuits are Silenced either by the Signal Silence button, or by the Auto Signal Silence Timer. It is turned off when the Signals are re-sounded by a subsequent Alarm. Battery Trouble LED The amber Battery Trouble Indicator flashes at the Trouble Rate when the Battery is either low (below 20.4 VDC) or disconnected.
Indicators, Controls and Operations Monitor Circuit Indicators This operation applies to initiating circuits configured as monitor circuits. The following table summarizes the indications in response to different events.
FA-300-6L Installation and Operation Manual Common Controls Menu Buttons To use the menu buttons you will need to install the CFG-300 configuration tool. See Configuration and CFG-300 Tool on page 32 for details. M Menu Button Pressing M and entering the passcode will allow you to enter the command menu. ? Info Button When the system is off-normal, press ? to display extra information of the event. Enter Button Pressing this button to select a menu option or to confirm a menu operation.
Indicators, Controls and Operations Lamp Test Button Activation of the Lamp Test button causes all front panel Indicators to steadily illuminate and turns the buzzer ON steady. If Lamp Test is active for more than 10 seconds, Common Trouble is activated. The lamp test for CPU Fail LED is during power up. Buzzer Silence Button Activation of the Buzzer Silence button while the Buzzer is sounding silences the Buzzer. The Buzzer will resound if there is a subsequent event.
FA-300-6L Installation and Operation Manual Auxiliary Alarm Relay The Auxiliary Alarm Relay functions the same way as the Common Alarm Relay in every respect except that it can be disconnected by auxiliary disconnect with or without other correlated relays if it is programmed to do so (see Configuration section). When configured (see Configuration section), the relay can also be disconnected if signal silence is active and reconnected if signal silence is de-activated.
Indicators, Controls and Operations Monitor This is a supervised general-purpose non-latching input used mainly for correlating to a relay circuit. No other system condition occurs as a result of its activation (short-circuit), although it is supervised for Trouble (open-circuit). Trouble-Only The Trouble-Only circuit monitors a Trouble Condition from an external device such as QX-5000 Audio System. Both open and short circuits generate a non-latching Trouble condition.

Alarm inputs include any of the following: Non-Verified Alarm, Verified Alarm, Sprinkler Alarm, Water flow Alarm, and General Alarm Circuits.
Supported Protocols/Devices Supported Protocols/Devices Synchronous Strobes The synchronous strobe models that are supported by the FA-300 panel include Mircom models FHS-240 and FS240. A separate compatibility list is available for different supported models (LT-1007). Strobes can be configured as normal (e.g. not synchronized or any of the above; see configuration section). Any selection made is system-wide (e.g. whatever is selected applies to all the circuits in the system, configured as strobes).
FA-300-6L Installation and Operation Manual Open circuit trouble If the loop is broken the panel shows open loop trouble. The panel can still communicate with the devices depending upon where the open occurs. Zone-1 Trouble Open 1/1 Communication Trouble If there is a fault in the line or the line is too noisy, the panel cannot communicate with the devices. The panel shows a communication trouble in this case. Zone-1 Communic.
Configuration and CFG-300 LCD Service Tool Configuration and CFG-300 LCD Service Tool There are three methods of configuring the FA-300 LED Series Fire Alarm Panels: 1. Using the CFG-300 LCD Tool (see further documentation packaged with CFG-300 for configuration information). 2. Using a PC or Lap Top Computer with a UIMA converter module. 3. Using a PC or laptop computer with remote connection (must use fire alarm with built-in UDACT).
