Control
Panel
Limitations
The
FW106S/FW106SC
control
panel
may
not
show
an
alarm
condition
without
compatible
initiating
devices
(smoke
detectors,
etc.)
and
notification
devices
(horn,
lights,
etc.)
connected
to
it.
Electrical
ratings
of
the
initiation
and
notification
appliances
must
be
compatible
with
the
electrical
ratings
of
the
control
panel
and
must
be
properly
interconnected.
The
wiring
used
for
interconnection
must
be
large
enough
to
carry
the
total
current
for
all
appliances
without
excessive
voltage
drop.
Please
refer
to
Appendix
‐
B:
Wire
Selection
Guide
for
detail.
The
control
panel
must
be
connected
to
a
dedicated
primary
electrical
source
that
has
a
high
degree
of
reliability
and
adequate
capacity
for
this
control
panel.
The
means
of
disconnecting
this
power
source
shall
be
available
only
to
authorized
personnel
and
clearly
marked
"Fire
Alarm
Circuit
Control".
A
battery
set
(24V)
that
has
enough
capacity
to
properly
operate
the
system
for
24
hours
standby
and
30
minutes
alarm
per
UL864
10
th
Edition
(section
69.2.3
and
69.2.5)
/
ULC
‐
S527
3
rd
Edition
(section
10.5)
or
as
otherwise
required
by
local
codes
and
the
AHJ
must
also
be
connected
to
the
control
panel.
These
batteries
do
lose
capacity
with
age.
Batteries
must
be
replaced
when
they
fail
to
provide
the
control
panel
with
the
required
standby
and
alarm
power
or
after
4
years,
whichever
happens
first.
These
batteries
must
be
checked
for
performance
at
least
twice
a
year
or
more
often,
if
local
requirements
dictate.
Even
though
this
control
panel
was
made
to
last
for
the
expected
life
of
the
fire
alarm
system,
partscan
fail
at
any
time.
Therefore,
a
regular
test
program
should
be
followed
and
documented
to
make
sure
each
part
of
the
system
is
tested,
as
indicated
in
Chapter
7
of
NFPA
72,
and
CAN/ULC
‐
S536,
or
more
often
if
dictated
by
local
code
requirements.
Malfunctioning
units
must
be
replaced
or
repaired
immediately
by
factory
authorized
service
personnel.
This
control
panel
is
designed
to
show
an
alarm
condition
when
the
initiating
devices
connected
to
it
detects
specific
conditions.
These
conditions
may
or
may
not
represent
a
life
‐
threatening
condition.
Unneeded
evacuation
of
a
building
or
an
area
may
subject
individuals
to
an
unnecessary
hazard.
Therefore,
it
is
important
that
the
building
owner,
manager,
or
representative
promulgate,
distribute,
and/or
post
instructions
describing
steps
to
be
taken
when
the
fire
alarm
control
panel
signals
an
alarm
condition.
These
instructions
should
be
developed
in
co
‐
operation
with
representativesof
the
local
authority
having
jurisdiction
and
in
accordance
with
the
applicable
standards.
