Specifications ─ (continued)
If more detailed information is required, a printed
report can be provided from the FACP, indicating the
status and settings assigned to each detector.
When Model FP-11activates into Alarm mode, the
detector will flash amber, and will transmit that data
to the FACP. When the FACP confirms the condition
of the detector, the FACP will instruct Model FP-11 to
flash red − and continue to flash red − until the
system is reset manually at the FACP. At that same
time, any user-defined system alarm functions
programmed into the system are activated. Each
Model FP-11 detector can operate one (1) remote
alarm indicator; one (1) auxiliary relay, or one (1)
audible base.
Detector sensitivity, calibration and identification
are dynamically supervised by the FACP. Detector
sensitivity and pre-Alarm levels are a function of the
application chosen at the FACP, and are controlled
by the panel.
If an alternate, non-F irePrint mode is
selected, then the sensitivity can be changed from
the FACP.
The Program / Test unit (Model DPU or FPI-32)
upgrade kit is used to program and verify the
detector’s address. The technician selects the
accessory’s program mode to enter the desired
address. Consequently, the programmer unit (Model
DPU or FP
I-32) will automatically set and verify the
address, and tests the detector. Model DPU / FP
I-32
also allows the user to change the device
ID from that
of a Model FP-11 detector to an older detector
ID
(such as:
ILP-1, ILPT-1, ILP-2, ID-60P or ID-60PT) to
allow for easy replacement of older detectors without
the need of reprogramming the FACP.
The FP
I-32 upgrade kit operates on AC power or
rechargeable batteries, providing flexibility and
convenience in programming and testing equipment
from almost any location. When in ‘test’ mode, Model
DPU or FP
I-32 upgrade kit will perform a series of
diagnostic tests without altering the address or other
stored data, allowing technicians to determine if the
detector is operating properly.
Model FP-11 may be installed on the same initiating
circuit with Models
IL or ID series detectors
(Photoelectric, thermal, or ionization); Model MSI-
series manual stations; Model TR
I-series interfaces;
Model
ICP output-control devices, or Model CZM
series of addressable, conventional-zone modules.
All Model FP-11 detectors can be cleaned in the field −
when required − by simply removing the detector
cover and unsnapping the photo chamber. There is
also the option of cleaning the interior of the detector
with a clean, soft cloth or brush, or replacing the
labyrinth and bug screen included in the detector
maintenance kit, Model DMK-11.
Model FP-11 uses the low-profile, surface-mounting
base, Model DB-11. This base mounts on a 4-inch
(10.2 cm.) octagon, square, or a single-gang electrical
box. The base utilizes screw-clamp contacts for
electrical connections and self-wiping contacts for
increased reliability.
The base can be used with the optional Model LK-11
detector locking kit, which contains 50 detector locks,
as well as an installation tool, thus preventing
unauthorized removal of the detector head. Model
DB-11 has integral, decorative plugs to cover the
outer mounting screw holes.
Model FP-11 is electrically compatible with existing
MXL-detector accessories, including relays, remote
lamps, duct housings and audible bases. To use
existing Model DB-3S base or audible base, Model
FP-11 requires a base adapter (Model DB-ADPT).
Application Data
Installation of the Model FP-11 series of fire detectors
requires a (2) two-wire circuit of 18 American Wire
Gauge (AWG), minimum, thermoplastic fixture wire
enclosed in conduit, or 18 AWG (American Wire
Gauge) limited-energy, shielded-cable without
conduit, if permitted by local codes. Field wiring
should conform to local and national electric codes
and the control panel wiring specifications.
‘T-tapping’ is permitted only for Style 4 (Class B)
wiring.
Model FP-11 fire detectors can be applied within the
maximum 30-foot center spacing (900 sq. ft. areas),
as referenced in NFPA 72. This applications guideline
is based upon ideal conditions − specifically − smooth
ceiling surfaces, minimal air movement, and no
physical obstructions between potential fire sources
and the detector. Do not mount detectors in close
proximity to ventilation or heating and air-
conditioning outlets.
Exposed joints or beamed ceilings may also affect safe
spacing limitations for detectors. Should questions
arise regarding detector placement, observe National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 72 guidelines.
