FCC warning This equipment can generate and radiate radio frequency energy.

2 If this equipment is not installed in accordance with this Manual , it may cause interference to radio communications. This equipment has been tested and found to comply within the limits for Class A digital devices pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These rules are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference when this equipment is operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment is likely to cause interference, in which case the user, at his own expense, will be required to take whatever measures may be required to correct the interference. Compliance statement FireShield , when properly installed, operates as a Local Protected Premises fire alarm System in accordance with the following standards: NFPA Standard 72, 1999 Edition NFPA 70 National Electrical Code Underwriters Laboratories Standard 864, 8th Edition Underwriters Laboratories of Canada Standard ULC S527-99 Canadian Electrical Code Part I Standard for Installation of fire alarm Systems ULC S524 Standard for the Inspection and Testing of fire alarm Systems ULC S536 FireShield also complies with Local Protective Signaling (type L) - Manual (M), automatic (A), waterflow (WF), and sprinkler supervisory (SS) for.

Each model is similar except for the number ofinitiating device circuits (IDCs) and notification appliancecircuits (NACs), as shown in the following (three-zone)32FS502 (five-zone)52FS1004 (ten-zone)104 Model numbers may have the following suffixes: G or Rindicates gray or red enclosure, GD or RD indicates panel withFSDACT, GC indicates ULC panel with terminal shield, GFindicates a French ULC panel with terminal shield, and G-2indicates 230 Vac panel is configured for Class B operation.

5 All modelsexcept for the three-zone can be easily converted to Class Aby using two Class B circuits to make one Class A has the following optional components: Remote System Indicator (FSRSI) Remote Zone Indicator (FSRZI-A) Remote Relay Module (FSRRM) Power Expander Transformer (XTR3A120, XTR3A230)(ten-zone only) DACT (Dialer)/Modem (FSDACT) City Tie Module ( ) Reverse Polarity Module (RPM) Battery Cabinet (BC-2)Refer to Chapter 2 Installation for optional module overviewThe panel operates in normal mode in the absence of anyalarm, supervisory, trouble, or monitor events. In normalmode, the control panel monitors the panel operates in off-normal mode any time an event isintroduced into the system. When this happens, the panel: Changes contact positions on appropriate common relays Activates alarm outputs (for alarm events only) Turns on the appropriate LEDs and the panel buzzer Executes the appropriate programmed output response forthe input that signaled the event Communicates event information to appropriate optionalcomponents (FSRSI, FSRZI-A, , or RPM)If the optional FSDACT is installed, the panel: Sends a record of the event to the FSDACT LCD and tothe history log Uses the FSDACT to transmit event messages to amonitoring station as programmedControls and indicators1235432 REMOTEDISCON-NECTWALKTESTRESETSI GNALSILENCE& DRILLPA NELSILENCEDISABLEDISABLEDISABLEDISABLEDI SABLENAC 2 NAC 1 ALARMTROUBLESUP/MONALARMSUPTROUBLEPOWERD ISABLESIGNALSI LENCEDWALKTE STGNDFAULTBATTTROUBLEANNUNTR OUBLELAMP TEST16 Front panel display(1) Lamp testButtonsDescriptionREMOTEDISCON-NECTW ALKTESTP ress the Remote Disconnect and Walk Testbuttons simultaneously to initiate a panellamp test.

A disabled circuit can not initiatea change in panel state. A disabled IDC sTrouble LED double-flashes. If pressedwhen an IDC is active, it has no effect on thepanel s current state but no further activity onthat IDC will be reported. Disabled IDCsremain disabled after a system test mode: Selects an IDC to place itinto or remove it from walk test mode: Selects an IDC sothat settings can be viewed or changed.

Double-flashes when circuit is mode: Used to render an NACinoperative. A disabled NAC trouble LEDdouble-flashes. If pressed when an NAC isactive, notification appliances remain silenced, a disabled NAC does notresound unless enabled. Disabled NACsremain disabled after a system mode: Selects an NAC so thatsettings can be viewed or changed.(5) Common system LEDsLEDD escriptionAlarmOn steady when there is an active alarmevent on any when there's a fault with a monitoredcircuit or system component, when a circuit isdisabled, or when panel is in walk test steady when there is an active supervisoryevent on any when the panel has AC when there is a disabledcircuit, FSRRM, alarm relay, or Disable also places the panel in thetrouble steady when there is a communicationfailure between the panel and a remoteannunciator. Also places the panel in thetrouble for voltage supervisory or chargertrouble.

9 Steady means placement places the panel in the trouble FaultOn steady during an active ground fault. Alsoplaces the panel in the trouble TestFlashes when performing an audible walktest. Steady indicates a silent walk test. Alsoplaces the panel in the trouble steady indicates that NAC circuits areturned off but the panel is still in alarm .(6) LCD display when FSDACT is installedNotes on LEDs: During an alarm condition, all flashingLEDs, regardless of their function, go NAC or IDC pairs are configured for Class A operation,trouble conditions may be indicated by the Trouble LED oneither NAC or IDC in the overview and operationFireShield Technical Reference descriptions1234578131211910 PRG6(1) Main AC wiring block and fuse holder: Providesconnections for 120 or 230 volt AC (primary power) fromdedicated service.
