  • Page 2 Fire Alarm System Limitations An automatic fire alarm system–typically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual Call Points, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control with remote notification capability– can provide early warning of a developing fire. Such a system, however, does not assure protection against property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire.
  • Page 3 • Smoke particles may become "cold," stratify, and not reach the ceiling or upper walls where detectors are located. • Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by air outlets. • Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before reaching the detector.
  • Page 4 rise feature of each detector should be tested at least once per year by a qualified fire protection specialist. Heat detectors are designed to protect property, not life. IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in the same room as the control panel and in rooms used by the system for the connection of alarm transmission wiring, communications, signaling, and/or power.
  • Page 5 Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premise to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily disabled. For added protection against telephone line failure, backup radio transmission systems are recommended. The most common cause of fire alarm malfunction is inadequate maintenance.

    Chapter 3: Installation Installation Precaution Installation Precautions WARNING - Several different sources of power can be connected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all sources of power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized.
  • Page 21 may be adversely affected by extreme temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that this system and all peripherals be installed in an environment with a nominal room temperature of 15- 25° C/60-77° F. Verify that wire sizes/type are adequate for communication. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% I.R.
  • Page 22 Do not tighten screw terminals more than 1.0168 N-m. Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal. Though designed to last many years, system components can fail at any time. This system contains static-sensitive components. Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling any circuits so that static charges are removed from the body.
