While a fire alarm system may lower insurance Fire Alarm System Limitations rates, it is not a substitute for fire insurance! An automatic fire alarm system–typically made up of Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, alarm only when heat on their sensors increases at a audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control with predetermined rate or reaches a predetermined level.

Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free Installation Precautions installation with long-term reliability: WARNING - Several different sources of power can be Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may connected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all operate erratically or can be damaged when subjected sources of power before servicing.
The FDU-80 Annunciator is a compact, 80-character, backlit LCD fire annunciator designed for use with the AFP-300/400 and AFC-600 FACPs (Fire Alarm Control Panels). It should be noted that the FDU-80 Annunciator display will mimic the FACP display. The FDU-80 is capable of displaying English-language text of system...

FDU-80. 2.2.2 Acknowledge/Step When the Acknowledge/Step switch is pressed and released, the FDU-80 sends an Acknowledge command to the control panel. Pressing the Acknowledge switch silences the local piezo sounder, the sounders located in all other system annunciators and the sounder located on the Fire Alarm Control Panel's main circuit board.
Acknowledge switch. In addition, if an alarm exists, it turns off all silenceable NACs and causes the FACP Alarm Silenced LED to turn on while the FDU-80 will display a 'silenced' message. It also sends an 'Alarm Silenced' message to the printer and the history file within the FACP.
The LED turns off when all trouble conditions are cleared. This LED will also illuminate if the microprocessor watch- dog circuit within the FDU-80 is activated. 2.3.5 Alarm Silenced This is a yellow LED that turns on when the Silence switch is pressed to turn off the Notification Appliance Circuits.

, motor control circuits or SCR power circuits. Note: To ensure static (ESD - electrostatic discharge) protection, all enclosures, including the FDU-80 electrical box, must be connected to earth ground! Never use the EIA-485 shield for this purpose. The EIA-485 shield is for radiated noise emission protection (RFI, EMI).
Shield Not in Conduit Shield Not in Conduit The EIA-485 line allows the FACP to communicate with the FDU-80 Annunciator. The shield for the EIA-485 line must be connected to earth ground at the FACP but must be left floating (no connection) at the annunciator if it is the first or only device on the EIA-485 line.
Shield in Full Conduit Shield in Full Conduit The EIA-485 line allows the FACP to communicate with the FDU-80 Annunciator. The shield for the EIA-485 line must be connected to earth ground at the FACP (both exiting and entering the FACP) but must be left floating (no connection) at the annunciator if it is the first or only device on the EIA-485 line.
