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 smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, and alarm only when heat on their sensors increases at audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control panel a predetermined rate or reaches a predetermined level.

LCD-80F Annunciator SW1 DIP Switch Settings SW1 DIP Switch Settings Refer to “DIP Switch Settings Example” on page 13, for an explanation of DIP switch positions. SW1 switch settings follow: 1 -ON = Key-switch disabled, OFF = Key-switch enabled. Switch 1 set to the OFF position enables key-switch operation. The key-switch may now be used to enable the LCD-80F membrane switches, allowing remote switch functions, or lockout the switches, preventing remote switch functions...

DIP switch 1: ON = Key-switch disabled (membrane function switches are always enabled with key-switch having no affect on their function).
LCD-80F Annunciator Typical Configuration Typical Configuration The LCD-80F Annunciator mimics the FACP display, has full point- display capacity and requires no programming. Note that the FACP may require programming to allow communication with the LCD-80F. Refer to the appropriate FACP manual for programming information. The LCD-80F offers multiple annunciator locations with the capability of remote Acknowledge, Signal Silence, Drill and Reset functions.
Operation Display Patterns Operation Section 2: Display Patterns The LCD-80F Annunciator directly displays (mimics) the information on the FACP display with the following exceptions: • Upon Power-up, the LCD-80F may display the following message until a valid message is received from the FACP INITIALIZING...
Operation Switch Functions Switch Functions 2.2.1 Key-switch Key-switch (shown in Off position) The key-switch is used to enable and disable the operation of the function switches if switch 1 on DIP switch SW1 has been placed in the OFF position.

Operation Switch Functions When more than one event exists, the first press of the Acknowledge switch silences system piezo sounders. The second press of the switch stops the scrolling and holds the event on the display for one minute. Subsequent pressing of the switch 'steps' through each active event.
Operation LED Indicators LED Indicators 2.3.1 AC Power This is a green LED which illuminates if AC power is applied to the host FACP. The green LED will turn off if AC power to the host FACP is lost. 2.3.2 Alarm This is a red LED that turns on steady when one or more fire alarms occur.
Mounting Annunciator Preparation Mounting Section 3: Annunciator Preparation The LCD-80F Annunciator can be surface mounted in a three-gang electrical box such as the P/N SBB-3 (2.75" depth) or semi-flush mounted in a three-gang electrical box, P/N 10103 or equivalent, with a minimum depth of 2 3/16".

Electrical Connections Power Connections Electrical Connections Section 4: Power Connections The LCD-80F Annunciator can be powered by the FACP (refer to the specific technical manual for the proper connection of the LCD-80F) or from a remote UL listed, filtered power supply such as the FCPS-24FS6/8.
EIA-485 Shield Termination EIA-485 Connections EIA-485 Shield Termination Section 5: The EIA-485 circuit must be wired using a twisted, shielded pair cable with a characteristic impedance of 120 ohms (+/- 20%). Do not run cable adjacent to or in the same conduit as 120 VAC service, noisy elec- trical circuits that are powering mechanical bells or horns, audio circuits above 25 V , motor control circuits or SCR power circuits.
EIA-485 Shield Termination Shield Not in Conduit Shield Not in Conduit The EIA-485 line allows the FACP to communicate with the LCD-80F 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.
EIA-485 Shield Termination Shield in Full Conduit Shield in Full Conduit The EIA-485 line allows the FACP to communicate with the LCD-80F 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.
