Electrical Safety Advisory:
Parties responsible for equipment requiring AC power should consider including an advisory notice in their customer
information suggesting the customer use a surge arrestor. Telephone companies report that electrical surges, typically light-
ning transients, are very destructive to customer terminal equipment connected to AC power sources. This has been identi-
fied as a major nationwide problem.
CAUTION 1: TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION, THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE
!
ENCLOSED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. TO VERIFY THAT THE EQUIPMENT IS OPERATING PROPERLY AND
CAN SUCCESSFULLY REPORT AN ALARM, THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE TESTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER
INSTALLATION, AND PERIODICALLY THEREAFTER, ACCORDING TO THE ENCLOSED TEST INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION 2: For for "alarm dialing equipment" to seize the phone line to report an alarm or other event when other customer
!
equipment (telephone, answering system, computer modem, etc.) connected to the same line is in use, "alarm dialing
equipment" must be connected to a properly installed RJ31X jack. The RJ31X jack must be connected in series with, and
ahead of, all other equipment attached to the same phone line.
The Alarm Dialing equipment must be connected to a properly installed RJ31X jack, so that the Alarm Dialing Equipment
!
can seize the phone line to report an alarm or other event, if the following condition exists.
Customer equipment (telephone answering system, computer modem) are connected to the same line and are in use, (i.e.,
installation of an RJ31X jack. If you have any questions concerning these instructions, you should consult your Telephone
Company or a qualified Installer about installing the necessary jack and alarm dialing equipment.

2.3.1 Requirements for All Installations
General requirements are described in this section. When you install an individual device, refer to the specific section of
the manual for additional requirements. The following subsections list specific requirements for each type of installation
(for example, Central Station Fire Alarm systems, Local Protected Fire Alarm systems, and so on). See Section 8.7 for
information on releasing operation.
1.
All field wiring must be installed in accordance with NFPA 70 National Electric Code.
2.
Use the addressable smoke detectors specified in Section 5 of this manual.
3.
Use UL listed notification appliances compatible with the GWF-7075 from those specified in the Compatibility
Addendum to Gamewell-FCI Manuals, P/N:9000-0427-L8.
4.
A full system checkout must be performed any time the panel is programmed.
Restricted Options:
•
The loss of AC signal is defaulted to 3 hours. However the system allows settings from 0 - 30 hours. For UL certified
installations this number must be set from 1 to 3 hours.
•
The system allows the use of non-latching spot type smoke detectors. This feature may not be used in commercial
applications whereby a general alarm is sounded. It is intended for elevator recall, door holding applications, and
hotel/motel room applications.
•
The system allows the Alarm Verification time to be set from 60 to 250 seconds. For UL certified installations the
setting must be a maximum of 60 seconds.
•
The systems allows the Auto-resound time to be set to 4 or 24 hours. For UL certified installations that are utilizing
SWIFT devices, the value must be set to 4 hours.
•
Do not use Call forwarding.
•
When you use two count, cut the detector spacing in half, do not use the alarm verification feature, and no delay.
•
P.A.S (positive alarm sequence) feature shall be used only with automatic detectors.

1.
Use both phone lines. Enable phone line monitors for both lines.
2.
You must program a phone number and a test time, so that the GWF-7075
automatically initiates and completes a test signal transmission sequence to its
associated receiver at least once every 6 hours. The AC Loss Hours option must be
set from 1-3 hours.
3.
If you use wired Ethernet or cellular, you must program the corresponding
Account/Subscriber ID and a test time, so that the FACP automatically initiates a test
signal transmission sequence to its associated receiver at least once every 6 hours.
Use at least one UL listed supervised notification appliance.
1.
Do not exceed the current load restrictions shown in Section 3.6.The AC Loss Hours
option must be set from 1-3 hours.
When you use carbon monoxide detection, the system must be monitored by a Supervis-
ing Station.
In compliance with NFPA 720, (Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detection and Warning Equipment), the sys-
tem is monitored by a supervising station with an emergency response.
To comply with UL 864 10th Edition, the System self-tests the communication line between the com-
municator and the receiver once every six hours.
If you program the DACT to call a telephone number that is call-forwarded to the communication line
of the DACR, the test requirement is reduced to at least once every four-hours.
