Field Charger Power Supply FCPS 24FS8 FCPS 24FS8E FCPS 24FS8C Manual 51883 L8 Rev 51883 L8 J1 13 201 detector is necessarily best and a given type of detector not provide adequate warning of a fire detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate of fires caused by arson children playing with especially in bedrooms smoking in bed and violent caused by escaping gas improper storage of materials etc detectors do not sense particles of combustion and only when heat on their sensors increases at a predeter rate or reaches a predetermined level Rate of rise detectors may be subject to reduced sensitivity over time this reason the rate of rise feature of each detector be tested at least once per year by a qualified fire pro specialist Heat detectors are designed to protect not life Smoke detectors must be installed in the room as the control panel and in rooms used by the sys for the connection of alarm transmission wiring communi signaling and or power If detectors are not so a developing fire may damage the alarm system its ability to report a fire warning devices such as bells horns strobes and displays may not alert people if these devices located on the other side of closed or partly open doors or located on another floor of a building Any warning device fail to alert people with a disability or those who have consumed drugs alcohol or medication Please note An emergency communication system may take priority Alarm Emergency Communication System Limitations a life safety system may lower insurance rates it is not a substitute for life and property automatic fire alarm system made up of detectors heat detectors manual pull stations audible devices and a fire alarm control panel FACP with notification capability provide early warning of a fire Such a system however does not assure against property damage or loss of life resulting a fire emergency communication system made up an automatic fire alarm system as described above and a safety communication system that may include an autono control unit ACU local operating console LOC voice and other various interoperable communica methods broadcast a mass notification message a system however does not assure protection against damage or loss of life resulting from a fire or life event Manufacturer recommends that smoke and or heat be located throughout a protected premises the recommendations of the National Fire Protection Standard 72 NFPA 72 manufacturer s State and local codes and the contained in the Guide for Proper Use of Smoke Detectors which is made available at no to all installing dealers This document can be found at A study by the Emergency Management Agency an agency of the States government indicated that smoke detectors not go off in as many as 35 of all fires While fire alarm are designed to provide early warning against fire do not guarantee warning or protection against fire A fire system may not provide timely or adequate warning or may not function for a variety of reasons detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot the detectors such as in chimneys in or behind walls on or on the other side of closed doors Smoke detectors may not sense a fire on another level or floor of a building second floor detector for example may not sense a first or basement fire of combustion or from a developing fire not reach the sensing chambers of smoke detectors Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors walls Voice messaging systems must be designed to meet intelli requirements as defined by NFPA local codes and Having Jurisdiction AHJ a fire alarm system in the event of a life safety emer Strobes can under certain circumstances cause seizures Language and instructional requirements must be clearly people with conditions such as epilepsy on any local displays even wet or humid areas may inhibit particle or flow Smoke particles may become stratify and not reach ceiling or upper walls where detectors are located Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by air such as air conditioning vents Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before the detector amount of present may be insufficient to alarm detectors Smoke detectors are designed to alarm at levels of smoke density If such density levels are not by a developing fire at the location of detectors the will not go into alarm detectors even when working properly have sensing Detectors that have photoelectronic sensing tend to detect smoldering fires better than flaming which have little visible smoke Detectors that have ion sensing chambers tend to detect fast flaming fires than smoldering fires Because fires develop in different and are often unpredictable in their growth neither type Studies have shown that certain people even when they a fire alarm signal do not respond to or comprehend meaning of the signal Audible devices such as horns bells can have different tonal patterns and frequen It is the property owner s responsibility to conduct fire and other training exercises to make people aware of alarm signals and instruct them on the proper reaction alarm signals rare instances the sounding of a warning device can temporary or permanent hearing loss life safety system will not operate without any electrical If AC power fails the system will operate from standby only for a specified time and only if the batteries have properly maintained and replaced regularly used in the system may not be technically com with the control panel It is essential to use only equip listed for service with your control panel lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a to a central monitoring station may be out of service temporarily disabled For added protection against tele line failure backup radio transmission systems are rec most common cause of life safety system malfunction is maintenance To keep the entire life safety system Series Instruction Manual P N 51883 L8 J1 8 30 13 Precautions to the following will aid in problem free installation with long term reliability Several different sources of power can be to the fire alarm control panel Disconnect all of power before servicing Control unit and associ equipment may be damaged by removing and or insert cards modules or interconnecting cables while the unit is Do not attempt to install service or operate this until manuals are read and understood System Re acceptance Test after Software To ensure proper system operation this product be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 after any pro operation or change in site specific software Re testing is required after any change addition or of system components or after any modification or adjustment to system hardware or wiring All compo circuits system operations or software functions known be affected by a change must be 100 tested In addition ensure that other operations are not inadvertently affected least 10 of initiating devices that are not directly affected the change up to a maximum of 50 devices must also be and proper system operation verified system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0 49 F and at a relative humidity However the useful of the system s standby batteries and the electronic com may be adversely affected by extreme temperature and humidity Therefore it is recommended that this and its peripherals be installed in an environment with normal room temperature of 15 27 C 60 80 F that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indi device loops Most devices cannot tolerate more than a I R drop from the specified device voltage all solid state electronic devices this system may erratically or can be damaged when subjected to light induced transients Although no system is completely from lightning transients and interference proper will reduce susceptibility Overhead or outside aerial is not recommended
