Introduction
Overview
1.2 Overview
Communication between the control panel and intelligent addressable monitor and control devices takes place through a Signaling Line
Circuit (SLC), which can be wired to meet the requirements of NFPA Class A, Class B, or Class X.
At least one secondary surge protector must be used with each SLC wiring pair whenever SLC wiring runs outside the building. For
detailed information refer to “Surge Suppression” on page 65.
1.3 Polling Protocols
The MS-9200UDLS, MS-9600LS, MS-9600UDLS, ES-50X, and ES-200X support LiteSpeed protocol or Classic Loop Interface Proto-
col (CLIP). The MS-9200/E,MS-9600/E, MS-9200UD/E, and MS-9050UD support Classic Loop Interface Protocol (CLIP) only.
1.3.1 Available Protocols
LiteSpeed
is a communication protocol that greatly enhances the speed of communication between analog intelligent devices. Only the
MS-9200UDLS, MS-9600LS, MS-9600UDLS, ES-50X, and ES-200X are capable of operating in LiteSpeed mode. This is the default
mode of operation for these FACPs.
CLIP
(Classic Loop Interface Protocol) polls devices in sequential order. All Fire-LiteFireWarden addressable fire alarm control panels
can operate in CLIP mode. This is the default mode of operation for all other FACPs.
1.3.2 Protocol Use
Use one of the following options with LiteSpeed/CLIP mode:
1.
Program all modules and detectors on an FACP as LiteSpeed.
2.
Program all modules and detectors on an FACP as CLIP.
When switching between polling protocols, the loop circuit must be powered down for at least 30 seconds to reset the devices.
1.4 Devices
1.4.1 Isolator Modules
Isolator Modules permit a zone of detectors and modules to be fault isolated from the remainder of the SLC loop, allowing critical com-
ponents to function in the event of a circuit fault. Isolator modules are required to meet the requirements of an NFPA Class X circuit.
I300
- Single fault isolator module
ISO-6
- Six fault isolator module
1.4.2 Monitor Modules
Addressable modules that allow the control panel to monitor entire circuits of conventional alarm initiating devices, such as manual pull
stations, smoke detectors, heat detectors, waterflow and supervisory devices.
MMF-300 -
Monitors a Class B or Class A circuit of dry-contact input devices.
MMF-300-10 -
Monitors ten (10) Class B or five (5) Class A normally open contact device circuits.
MMF-301 -
Same as the
MMF-300
except offered in a smaller package for mounting with Class B wired devices. This module does not
have an LED.
MMF-302 -
Monitors a single IDC of two-wire smoke detectors.
MMF-302-6 -
Addressable module that provides an interface between the control panel and six (6) Class B or three (3) Class A IDCs of
two-wire smoke detectors.
MDF-300 -
Similar to
MMF-300
, but provides for two independent Class B IDCs.

NOTE:
FACPs with more than one SLC loop must be programmed for only LiteSpeed or CLIP mode of operation. Communication
protocols cannot be split between SLC loops.
