ABOUT THE PANEL
The DMP XR150FC/XR550FC Series system consists of an alarm panel with a built‑in communicator, an enclosure with
built‑in Fire Command Center keypad, and a 16 VAC 56 VA transformer. Each panel is a versatile 12 VDC, combined
access control, burglary, and fire communicator panel. A complete system can provide:
• 142 or 574 programmable inputs and outputs for commercial and industrial fire alarm service
• Eight onboard grounded burglary zones
• Two onboard 12 VDC Class B powered zones
The powered zones have a reset capability to provide for 2‑wire smoke detectors, relays, or other latching devices.
Connect a 12 or 24 VDC regulated, power limited power supply listed for Fire Protective Signaling Systems to distribute
notification appliance power between Model 865, 866 or 867 NAC outputs. Addressable smoke detectors and input
modules round out the XR150FC/XR550FC Series panel to deliver a truly flexible and expansive fire detection and
notification system. The Fire Alarm Control Panel is shipped pre‑wired in a red steel enclosure.
Zone Expansion
Up to 574 additional zones are available on the XR150FC/XR550FC Series panel using DMP LCD keypad remote zone
capability and zone expansion modules. The panel keypad data bus supports up to fifteen supervised device addresses
with each address supporting up to four programmable expansion zones.
Up to 500 zones are available using the on board LX‑Bus connections, along with any combination of single, four, eight,
or sixteen‑zone expansion modules and single‑zone LX‑Bus detectors.
Output Expansion
In addition to the two SPDT relays and four programmable open collector outputs on the panel, you can also connect up
to 25 programmable Model 716 Output Expansion Modules to each LX‑Bus. These modules can provide an additional 100
or 500 programmable SPDT relays.
The panel provides 100 Output Schedules you can use for programming the 716 to perform a variety of annunciation and
control functions. You can also assign the 716 outputs to any panel Output Options such as Fire Alarm, Communication
Fail, or Phone Trouble Outputs. For more information, refer to the 716 Installation Guide (LT‑0183).
The LX‑Bus also supports the Model 717 Graphic Annunciator Module. Each 717 module supplies 20 switched ground
outputs that follow the state of their assigned zones. The 717 supports the first eight Keypad Bus addresses. To use
Keypad Bus addresses 9‑16, install multiple 716 modules. Refer to the 717 Installation Guide (LT‑0235) and 716 Installation
Guide (LT‑0183).
Compliance Instructions
