General Information

3.1

FAP-440 Fire Detectors

The FAP-440 Series open-area fire detectors work with an FPA-1000-UL Fire Panel, software
version 2.0, or an FPA-1000-V2, software version 2.0 or higher. Use with the FAA-440 Series
bases to provide general property protection.
For commercial and industrial installations, the following spacing between detectors is
permitted:

FAA-440 Isolator Bases

The FAA-440 isolator bases prevent the entire SLC loop from being disabled when a short
circuit occurs. This is accomplished by isolating that part of the loop containing the short
from the remainder of the circuit. As soon as the short circuit is removed, the entire loop is
restored. There is no need to reset the loop.
In the event of a short circuit, the isolator base LED will show a steady yellow signaling a
trouble condition.

Panel Communication

The control panel communicates to the detectors via the analog adressable loop (SLC loop).
Standard non-twisted, non-shielded wiring (plain old wire) for the SLCs is recommended.
The following wire gauges were tested and approved:

–
NOTICE!
Voltag drop calculations along with anticipated wire distance should be considered to ensure
a voltage supply of at least 24 V at every detector.
3.4

Programming

The programming is carried out either at the panel keypad, or through a Web server using a
laptop, or remote, using a Web page (detector address setting see Section 5.2 Addressing
Information, page 13).
The sensitivity of the smoke sensor has 12 levels to choose from.
