The IFP-300 (red), IFP-300B (black), IIFP-300ECS (red), and IFP-300ECSB (black) are analog addressable fire alarm control panels
(FACPs), that meet the requirements of UL 864.
The IFP-300ECS and IFP-300ECSB are intelligent fire alarm control panels combined with an Emergency Communication System that
meet the requirements for Mass Notification as described in UL 864 and UL 2572.
NOTE: All references to IFP-300 within this manual are applicable to the IFP-300, IFP-300B, IFP-300ECS, IFP-300ECSB, unless otherwise
specified.

1.1 Basic System Overview

The IFP-300 is an addressable panel with a built-in annunciator that can also be used to program the system.
1.1.1 Hardware Features
• The basic IFP-300 panel contains one built in signaling line circuit (SLC), which supports up to 159 IDP or SK sensors and 159 IDP or
SK modules or 127 SD SLC devices. Additional SLC loops can be added to increase overall point capacity.
• Additional 6815 SLC expanders supports 159 IDP/SK sensors and 159 IDP/SK modules for a maximum of 300 points per control
panel.
• Additional 5815XL SLC expander supports only SD Protocol for a maximum of 254 points per IFP-300 control panel.
• 6.0A of output power is available through 4 sets of terminals for notification appliance circuits or auxiliary applications. Each circuit is
power-limited per UL 864 and can source up to 3.0A (total output power for all 4 circuits must not exceed 6.0A). The constant auxiliary
power load must not exceed 3A for normal standby.
• Built-in dual phone line, digital alarm communicator/transmitter (DACT), IP or optional cellular technologies.
• Reports events to central station by point or by zone.
• UL Listed for pre-action and deluge releasing systems.
• Two general purpose Form C programmable relays.
• One Form C Trouble Relay.
• Can be used with up to 16 model RA-100, RA-1000, or RA-2000 remote annunciators in any combination (sold separately).
• Can be used with model 5865-3, 5865-4, and 5880 in any combination for a total of eight devices on one control panel. See Section 4.13
and Section 4.14 for additional information on these models.
• Printing of event log available through the Model 5824 serial/parallel printer interface module.
• 250 software zones, 250 output groups.
• Add six Flexput circuits with each RPS-1000 power supply.
• Add four NAC circuits with each 5496 NAC expander.
NOTE: The system can include a maximum of 16 intelligent power modules, 5496 or RPS-1000, combined.
1.1.2 Network System Hardware Features
• The default network setup can contain up to 32- IFP-300 panels connected.
• Network support for up to 32 sites
• Each building is referred to as a "site".
• Panels can be interconnected using a CLASS B or CLASS A topology.
• To network panels together use the SK-NIC network card. Copper wire or fiber-optic cable panel connectivity can be used within the
same networked system.
• The network architecture provides true peer to peer capability allowing network survivability for all hardware that remains operational
in the event of partial system failure.
1.1.3 Software Features
• Advanced smoke detector features:
– Automatic drift compensation
– Automatic day/night sensitivity adjustment
– Maintenance alert region
– Point status meets calibrated smoke test requirements for NFPA 72
• "JumpStart" feature for easy programming
• Non-volatile event history stores 1000 events
• A choice of output patterns available for notification outputs, including ANSI 3.41 temporal signal
• Built-in synchronization appliance support for AMSECO
1.1.4 IFP-300ECS Features
• Can select ECS message as priority over fire alarm
• 15 recordable messages that can be mapped to eight ECS buttons
• Supports up to seven ECS-LOC consoles
• Support for one ECS-VCM or ECS-NVCM
• Programmable trigger inputs from an external source, such as a Monaco system, to either the ECS-VCM, ECS-NVCM, ECS-RVM,
5880 or any SLC input module
