System overview and operation

System overview

FireShield is available in three models: three-zone, five-zone,
and ten-zone. Each model is similar except for the number of
initiating device circuits (IDCs) and notification appliance
circuits (NACs), as shown in the following table.
Model
FS302 (three-zone)
FS502 (five-zone)
FS1004 (ten-zone)
Model numbers may have the following suffixes: G or R
indicates gray or red enclosure, GD or RD indicates panel with
FSDACT, GC indicates ULC panel with terminal shield, GF
indicates a French ULC panel with terminal shield, and G-2
indicates 230 Vac input.
Each panel is configured for Class B operation. All models
except for the three-zone can be easily converted to Class A
by using two Class B circuits to make one Class A circuit.
FireShield has the following optional components:
• Remote System Indicator (FSRSI)
• Remote Zone Indicator (FSRZI-A)
• Remote Relay Module (FSRRM)
• Power Expander Transformer (XTR3A120, XTR3A230)
(ten-zone only)
• DACT (Dialer)/Modem (FSDACT)
• City Tie Module (CTM4.7)
• Reverse Polarity Module (RPM)
• Battery Cabinet (BC-2)
Refer to Chapter 2 "Installation" for optional module details.

Operations overview

The panel operates in normal mode in the absence of any
alarm, supervisory, trouble, or monitor events. In normal
mode, the control panel monitors the system.
The panel operates in off-normal mode any time an event is
introduced into the system. When this happens, the panel:
• Changes contact positions on appropriate common relays
• Activates alarm outputs (for alarm events only)
• Turns on the appropriate LEDs and the panel buzzer
• Executes the appropriate programmed output response for
the input that signaled the event
• Communicates event information to appropriate optional
components (FSRSI, FSRZI-A, CTM4.7, or RPM)

If the optional FSDACT is installed, the panel:
• Sends a record of the event to the FSDACT LCD and to
the history log
• Uses the FSDACT to transmit event messages to a
monitoring station as programmed
