Installation Precautions - Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability: WARNING - Several different sources of power can be connected to the fire alarm Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may operate erratically or can control panel.
General Information Introduction The Sensiscan 200 is an expandable multi-zone Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) based on a modular design for maximum flexibility. The heart of the system is the Central Processor Unit (CPU) module which monitors and directs the actions of all other modules in the system. Up to two other modules may be installed in various configurations.

UL Power-limited Wiring Requirements Power-limited and nonpower-limited circuit wiring must remain separated in the cabinet. All power-limited circuit wiring must remain at least 0.25" away from any nonpower-limited circuit wiring. Furthermore, all power-limited and nonpower-limited circuit wiring must enter and exit the cabinet through different knockouts and/or conduits. A typical wiring diagram for the System 200 is shown below.
Section Four: Field Wiring the Modules The following procedures, diagrams, and instructions must be followed precisely to avoid damage to the control panel and it's associated equipment. Reliability depends to a great extent upon proper installation and maintenance. System modules feature removable terminal blocks that ease installation and servicing of the control panel.

Section Seven: Programming General The control panel is programmed entirely by using the four switches on the CPU. The eight LEDs show the programmer the status of programming. Each of these LEDs has two states: flashing and steady . On the programming label, two functions are associated with each LED.
System Programming System programming is entered directly by password or is automatically entered after reconfiguring the control panel. After entering the system programming password (123-1232), the green PASSWORD ACCEPT LED and the yellow PROGRAM/SERVICE LED will illuminate. System programming is performed sequentially. The first function to be programmed is WATERFLOW.
Page 49
Silenceable Operation Silenceable circuits are controlled output circuits that, when activated, can be silenced by pressing the Signal Silence key on the CPU. Do Not program the Remote Signalling / Municipal Tie output for silenceable operation. Programming Silenceable Circuits The SILENCEABLE LED will flash on the CPU. The pointer is represented by a flashing yellow LED on the first output circuit.
Page 50
Verification should only be used on circuits where the false alarm rate cannot be reduced to an acceptable level by other means. Only alarm signals from two-wire smoke detectors can be verified since four-wire smoke detectors are not reset during verification. Both two-wire smoke detectors and N.O. shorting-type initiating devices may be connected to the same circuit.
Page 51
Programming Non-Alarm Inputs The NON ALARM INPUTS LED will flash. The pointer will be at the first initiating circuit. Use the STATE CHANGE switch to select or deselect the circuit as a Non-Alarm Input. The left-hand LED (red) on each point will illuminate when the circuit is selected, and will extinguish when the circuit has been deselected.
Extended Programming Features Extended Programming Features are available in CPU EPROM U4 software numbered 73167 or greater. CAUTION: Do not use Extended Programming Features in a network system employing NIB-96 boards! The AUTO SILENCE feature will automatically turn off all silenceable circuits after a pre-programmed delay. The delay timer starts after a system alarm.

Section Eight: Operating the Control Panel CPU LED Indicators AC POWER – A green LED that indicates normal AC power. This LED turns off when the AC line voltage falls below normal. SYSTEM ALARM – A red LED that indicates an alarm condition. This LED initially flashes during alarm (the CPU will also sound a continuous audible tone).
CPU Circuits The CPU Module contains: 1) Two supervised Notification Appliance Circuits that can be used to control evacuation signaling devices, such as bells, chimes, horns, and strobes; 2) An alarm relay that can control external de- vices such as elevators, and doors; and 3) A Remote Signaling/Municipal Tie output for connection to a munici- pal fire department, central station, or a remote monitoring station.

Disabling/Enabling Circuits For servicing of the system, input or output circuits can be disabled. To disable a circuit, the operator must enter a 1-2-3 key sequence and advance to the circuit to be disabled. 1) Press the LAMP TEST switch and hold it in throughout the remainder of this procedure.
Section Nine: Testing & Maintenance Acceptance Test Upon completion of the original installation and following subsequent modifications, a complete operational test should be conducted on the entire installation for the purpose of verification of compliance with the applicable NFPA standards. Testing should be conducted by a factory-trained distributor in the presence of a representative of the Authority Having Jurisdiction and the Owner's Representative.
Battery Checks Maintenance-free sealed lead-acid batteries do not require the addition of water or electrolyte. They are charged and are maintained in a fully charged state by the main power supply's float charger during normal system operation. A discharged battery will charge at 0.75 amps (typically) and obtain its float voltage of 27.6 volts within 48 hours.

Appendix B: Canadian Requirements for Supervisory Zones Note for Canadian installations: Initiating Red LED Zone Canadian installation require the use of modified modules and annunciators used for supervisory zones. Modified modules have the red LED covered up so illumination of Yellow LED the red LED under supervisory condition will not be visible to the user.
