Fire-Lite MS-9600 Supplement

This Supplement has been created to inform installers about the new Signal Line Circuit (SLC) capacity
of 159 detectors and 159 modules per SLC loop; and
Introduce two new FACP software features which (1) provide a synchronized strobe programming
option, (2) allow the control panel to monitor and printout the sensitivity and drift compensation for
each addressable smoke detector connected to the system; as well as to
Provide information concerning 'Positive Alarm Sequence' and 'Printer Supervision'.
I. Synchronized Strobes
NAC Option for Synchronization
Synchronization is a panel feature that controls the activation of notification appliances in such a way that all devices will turn on
and off at exactly the same time. This is particularly critical when activating strobes which must be synchronized to conform
with a variety of regulations as well as to avoid random activation which could cause a hazardous condition. The FACP can be
programmed to operate with a variety of manufacturer's devices.
Important: When a Notification Appliance Circuit with a mix of audible and visual devices is programmed for silenceable and
the synchronization feature is selected, only the audible devices will be turned off if the Silence key is pressed. The visual
devices (strobes, etc.) will continue to operate.
