INTRODUCTION
CONTROL PANEL LIMITATIONS
This control panel may not show an alarm condition without compatible initiating devices
(smoke detectors, etc.) and notification devices (horn, strobes, 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.
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 only means of
disconnecting this power source shall be available only to authorized personnel and clearly
marked "Fire Alarm Circuit Control".
The control panel must also have connected to it a battery set (24V) that has enough capacity
to properly operate the system for the following conditions:
•
24 hours standby and 5 minutes fire alarm in US
•
24 hours standby and 4 minutes CO alarm and 12 hours extended CO alarm (at up to
60 s intervals) in US
•
24 hours standby and 30 minutes alarm in Canada
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 two (2) times 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,
any part could fail at any time. Therefore, a regular test program should be followed and
documented to make sure that each part of the system is tested as in Chapter 7 of NFPA 72 or
more often if dictated by local code requirements. Malfunctioning units must be replaced or
repaired immediately by factory authorized service personnel.
Note:
•
This control panel is designed to show an alarm condition when the initiating devices
connected to it detect specific conditions. These conditions may or may not represent a life-
threatening condition. Also, evacuation of a building or area unnecessarily may subject
individuals to an unnecessary hazard. Therefore, it is most 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 cooperation and conformance with representatives of the local
authority having jurisdiction.
As a precautionary measure, it is strongly suggested that one of these steps should be to
notify the local fire department of an abnormal condition even where the DACT option (or
similar device) is included in the system.
