FA-300 Series LCD Version Installation and Operation Manual System Checkout Before turning the power “ON” To prevent sparking, do not connect the batteries. Connect the batteries after powering the system from the main AC supply. 1. Check that all modules are installed in the proper location with the proper connections. 2. Check all field (external) wiring for opens, shorts, and ground. 3. Check that all interconnection cables are secure, and that all connectors are plugged in properly. 4.
Indicators, Controls and Operations Indicators, Controls and Operations Refer to Figure 21 below which shows the LCD Display, the Keypad and Control Button locations. Figure 23: LCD Display and control buttons SYSTEM NORMAL 18:01 MON 2003-04-05 SYSTEM RESET A.C.
FA-300 Series LCD Version Installation and Operation Manual Common Indicators Buzzer The Buzzer is activated by any of the following events: Fire Alarm: Supervisory Alarm: Trouble: Steady Fast Flash Trouble Flash Rate If the Buzzer is turned ON in response to a Non-Latching Trouble or Supervisory, it will be turned OFF if the condition causing it goes away and there is no other reason for it to be ON.
Indicators, Controls and Operations Signal Silence Button Activation of the Signal Silence button when the panel is in alarm deactivates any Silenceable Indicating Circuits. Non-Silenceable Circuits are unaffected. Signals will resound upon any subsequent alarm. Subsequent operation of signal silence resounds all Silenceable signals. This button does not function during any configured Signal Silence Inhibit Timer period (see Configuration section).
FA-300 Series LCD Version Installation and Operation Manual Circuit Types Initiating (Detection) Circuit Types Non-Verified Alarm A Non-Verified alarm is a “normal” type of alarm that can have pull stations, smoke detectors, or heat detectors attached to it. Activation of any of these devices will immediately result in an alarm condition in the Fire Alarm Control Panel. An Alarm condition causes the Common Alarm LED to illuminate red.
Indicators, Controls and Operations either manually or automatically. While sounding, these devices follow the pattern appropriate for the condition: the configured Evacuation Code (default is Temporal Code) during alarm. Non-Silenceable Signal The Non-Silenceable Signal Circuit is used for audible devices such as bells and piezo mini-horns that may not be silenced either manually or automatically.
FA-300 Series LCD Version Installation and Operation Manual Fire Alarm Operation In a basic system set up all alarm inputs are treated in a similar manner. Alarm inputs include any of the following: Non-Verified Alarm, Verified Alarm, Sprinkler Alarm, and Water flow Alarm.
Supported Protocols/Devices 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. Strobes can be configures 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).
FA-300 Series LCD Version Installation and Operation Manual Open circuit trouble If the loop is broken the panel shows open loop trouble. The panel can still communicate with the devices depending upon where the open occurs. Zone-1 Open Trb. 1/ 1 Communication Trouble If there is a fault in the line or the line is too noisy, the panel cannot communicate with the devices. The panel shows a communication trouble in this case. Zone-1 Communic.
Configuration Configuration There are three methods of configuring the FA-300 LCD Series Fire Alarm Panels: Direct configuration using the main LCD display and the menu buttons. Using a PC or Lap Top Computer with a UIMA converter module. Using a PC or laptop computer with remote connection (must use fire alarm with built-in UDACT). The following information for configuring an FA-300 LCD Series Fire Alarm Panel is based on using the front panel main LCD display for configuration.
