Supported Protocols/Devices
Synchronous Strobes
The synchronous strobe models that are supported by the FA-300 panel include Mircom models FHS-240 and FS-
240. A separate compatibility list is available for different supported models (LT-1007).
Strobes can be configured as normal (e.g. not synchronized or any of the above;
see configuration section).
Any
selection made is system-wide (e.g. whatever is selected applies to all the circuits in the system, configured as
strobes).
“Signal silence” action on strobes
The “signal silence” action on strobes depends upon the configuration. The following describes the signal silence
action on non-silenceable and silenceable strobes.
Non Silenceable strobe
If the output zone is configured as Non-Silenceable Strobe and if the “signal silence” is active on the panel while the
strobes are active, the horn should be silenced. If the signal is active again the panel will activate the horn again.
Silenceable strobe`
If the output circuit is configured as Silenceable Strobe, and if the “signal silence” is active on the panel, both the
horn and strobe are completely turned off by turning off the output circuit. Re-activating the “signal silence” will turn
them on again.
System Sensor’s i
3
Devices
The FA-300 fire control panels support System Sensor’s i
3
devices. Only the two wire smoke detectors are
supported on the i
3
zone, which are 2W-B and 2WT-B. Model 2WT-B features a build in fixed temperature (135F /
57.2C) thermal detector and is capable of sensing a freeze condition i.e. if the temperature is below 41F / 5 C.
The zones should be programmed to i
3
devices to be considered as i
3
zone
(see configuration section).
If the zone
is not programmed as i
3
zone and i
3
devices are connected to the zone, it is simply treated as a regular zone. The
panel is capable of detecting multiple troubles; if different devices have different troubles on the same zone, all
troubles will be reported. The following troubles are reported for the i
3
devices.
i
3
zone Troubles
The following troubles can be reported for a zone configured as i
3
zone:
• Open circuit trouble
• Communication trouble
• High Maintenance and Low Maintenance (Out of sensitivity: defective or dirty device)
• Freeze trouble
Note:
Please see the strobes manufacturer’s data for details.
