INTRODUCTION
Introduction
2.1 Description
The DMP XR5FC and XR5SL Commercial Fire Panels are powerful 12 VDC Þ re alarm communicators with
battery backup that can also be powered from the 12 or 24 VDC auxiliary output of a Fire Alarm Control
Panel (FACP). Each panel provides one Class A (Style D) Þ re zone and four Class B (Style A) powered Þ re
zones with reset capability for 2-wire smoke detectors, relays, or other latching devices.
The XR5 panels can communicate to one or two DMP SCS-1/SCS-1R Receivers using SDLC digital dialer, up to
two non-DMP receivers using the 4-2 reporting format, or up to two non-DMP (Contact ID) receivers using
the CID reporting format.

Caution Notes
Throughout this guide you will see caution notes containing information you need to know when installing
the XR5 panels. These cautions are noted with a yield sign as shown below.
Always ground the panel before applying power to any devices: The XR5 panels 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.
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.
