Panel Features
2.1
Description
The DMP XR150FC/XR550FC Series system is made up of an alarm panel with a built-in communicator, an enclosure,
battery, one 16 Vac transformer, and keypads. Each panel is a versatile 12 Vdc, combined access control, burglary,
and fire communicator panel with a built in LCD Fire Command Center keyboard with membrane keyswitch. A
complete system can provide:
• 574 or 142 programmable inputs and outputs for commercial and industrial fire alarm service
• Eight on-board grounded burglary zones
• Two on-board 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 to deliver a truly flexible and expansive fire detection and
notification system. The Fire Alarm Control Panel is shipped pre-wired in a red metal enclosure.
2.2
Zone Expansion
Up to 574 additional zones are available on the XR150FC/XR550FC Series 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, and any combination of single, four, eight, or
sixteen-zone expansion modules and single-zone LX-Bus™ detectors.
Note:
Do not use shielded or twisted pair wiring for LX-Bus or Keypad Bus circuits.
2.3
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 500 or 100 programmable SPDT relays.
The XR150FC/XR550FC Series 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. 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.
Note
: The 717 supports the first eight Keypad Bus addresses. To follow Keypad Bus addresses nine through 16, install
multiple 716 modules. Refer to the 717 Installation Guide (LT-0235) and 716 Installation Guide (LT-0183).
2.4
Caution Notes
Throughout this guide you will see caution notes containing information you need to know when installing the panel.
These cautions are indicated with a yield sign. Whenever you see a caution note, make sure you completely read
and understand its information. Failing to follow the caution note can cause damage to the equipment or improper
operation of one or more components in the system. See the example shown below.
Always ground the panel before applying power to any devices:
The panel must be properly grounded
before connecting any devices or applying power to the panel. Proper grounding protects against
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) that can damage system components.
