The SCS⁄SCE

Programming and Testing the Smoke Control Station

This completes the SCS-8L⁄SCE-8L installation. After programming the fire alarm control panel to accept the SCS-8L⁄SCE-8L, fully test the
system to ensure that each switch performs its intended function, each LED lights as required, and that the SCS-8L⁄SCE-8L can perform the
functions outlined in Section 3.8.1 "Firefighter's Smoke Control Station (FSCS) Mode" (if operating in FSCS Mode) or Section 3.8.2 "Heat-
ing, Ventilating & Air Conditioning (HVAC) Mode" (if operating in HVAC Mode).
NOTE: Refer to the "Restrictions" section of this manual for information on compatible software part numbers.

3.8 Configuration

3.8.1 Firefighter's Smoke Control Station (FSCS) Mode
The Firefighter's Smoke Control Station (FSCS) Mode is enabled when dipswitch six on the SCS is in the ON position (see Table 3.4). In this
mode, the SCS⁄SCE becomes the FSCS and is intended to have the highest priority over associated fan and damper functions. For a fan or
damper to be used in a smoke control system, the system must not only be able to control the device, but it must be able to verify what state
it is in (ON/OFF or OPEN/CLOSED). Correct installation of the control and monitor modules associated with the SCS⁄SCE is vital to ensure
proper operation. Each toggle switch group is assigned a switch group type number (see Table 3.3) which is referenced in the text, tables, and
appendices identifying the configuration, connection, and operation of associated equipment.
Operating in FSCS mode, the SCS⁄SCE is capable of Dedicated and Non-dedicated System operation. When dipswitch 7 is in the ON posi-
tion, the SCS⁄SCE operates as a Dedicated System; in the OFF position the SCS⁄SCE operates as a Non-dedicated System (see Dedicated
System Operation and Non-dedicated System Operation headings later in this section).
NOTE: ONYX Series FACPs and associated network annunciators are only compatible with SCS software #SCS2.84 or higher. They are
not compatible with any 73XXX series software versions.
To use the SCS V4.0, NFS2-3030, and/or NCA-2 must be running software V21 or higher.

SCS Dipswitch Settings for FSCS Mode

Table 3.5 describes the dipswitch settings necessary to configure the SCS⁄SCE for many variations of controlling smoke. Although the con-
figurations are shown with an SCE, the configuration for the SCS is the same as it is shown in the table if an SCE is not used. Each descrip-
tion of a dipswitch setting follows the format shown below:

When used with an SCE, eight switch groups are
8 8
available for group type 8 operation and eight are
1 1
available for group type 1 operation in the format
1 1 shown to the left. Type 8 switch groups require two
control modules and one monitor module. Type 8
8 8
switch groups are usually only used for fans. One
control module is used for the ON control of the fan,
SCE-8
the other control module is used for the OFF control.
The monitor module is used for the ON verification of
the fan. Type 1 switch groups require one control
module and one monitor module. Type 1 switch
groups can be used for fans or dampers. The control
module is used for OFF control of a fan and the
monitor module is used for the OFF verification of the
fan.
