WIRING CONSIDERATIONS SYSTEM RE-ACCEPTANCE TEST A Gamewell/FCI fire alarm control panel contains powerlimited circuits. You cannot connect external sources of power to these circuits without invalidating their approval. Verify that wiring sizes are adequate for all initiating device and notification appliance circuits. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% drop from the specified voltage.
LIMITATIONS OF FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS Gamewell/FCI recommends that smoke and/or heat detectors be located throughout the protected premises following the recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire Protection Association Standard 72, the National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72), manufacturer’s recommendations, State and local codes, and the recommendations contained in the Guide for the Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no charge to all installing dealers.

Section 1 About Receivers Gateways 1.1 FPT Receivers Gateway Description The Receivers Gateway (FPT-DACR-GW) acts as a bridge between the supported digital alarm receivers and the FocalPoint system. A Receivers Gateway processes information coming from a connected receiver and passes the information to FocalPoint components. A FocalPoint Workstation on the system will annunciate events from control panels to receivers using a DACT.

Section 2 Digital Receivers Installation and Configuration 2.1 Digital Receiver Setup Guidelines The supported Digital receivers must be installed according to the following guidelines: • Receivers may be placed on a single Gateway or distributed among several. • A receiver may be attached to any available COM port on a Receiver Gateway capable UL or ULC listed computer, that is appropriate for use with fire protective signaling units.
Digital Receivers Installation and Configuration ADEMCO 685 Setup 2.2 ADEMCO 685 Setup 2.2.1 685 Cable Configuration NOTE: All connections must be no more than 20 feet in length and run in conduit. Use the following figure to configure the cable that connects the 685’s J103 port to a unused COM port on your Receiver Gateway capable Workstation computer. Figure 2.1 ADEMCO 685 Cable Connections 2.2.
ADEMCO 685 Setup Digital Receivers Installation and Configuration Once the ADEMCO 685 is connected to the Gateway, the Workstation will auto-create an icon for the 685 receiver. 685 site names will look similar to this: 685 DACR - #### (where #### is the account code for the panel that is dialing in). 685 panels generate a periodic test message. The Gateway uses that test message to supervise the site. 2.2.
Digital Receivers Installation and Configuration Radionics D6600 Setup 2.3 Radionics D6600 Setup Digital receivers must be installed according to the “Digital Receiver Setup Guidelines” on page 11. 2.3.1 D6600 Description The Receivers Gateway is the software interface between the Radionics receiver and the FocalPoint network monitoring system.
Radionics D6600 Setup Digital Receivers Installation and Configuration 2.3.3 D6600 Serial Communication Connection Use the following figure to configure the cable that connects the Radionics D6600’s COM3 port to a unused COM port on your Receiver Gateway capable Workstation computer. You can use a standard null modem cable to connect the Radionics D6600 to the Receivers Gateway.

Silent Knight 9500/9800 Receiver Setup Digital Receivers Installation and Configuration 2.4.7 9500/9800 Device IDs The Receivers Gateway reformats all devices reported by Silent Knight 9500/9800 receivers to fit the FocalPoint system format of an 8-character point ID. Since there is no actual node or sub-node located at the panel, the Gateway always pads the node/ sub-node position with zero spacers (001000). Each device ID reported through the receiver will begin this way.
