Fire Alarm System Limitations

While a fire alarm system may lower insurance
rates, it is not a substitute for fire insurance!

An automatic fire alarm system–typically made up of smoke
detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control with remote notification
capability–can provide early warning of a developing fire.
Such a system, however, does not assure protection against
property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire.

Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and
alarm only when heat on their sensors increases at a predetermined rate or reaches a predetermined level. Rate-of-rise
heat detectors may be subject to reduced sensitivity over time.
For this reason, the rate-of-rise feature of each detector
should be tested at least once per year by a qualified fire protection specialist. Heat detectors are designed to protect
property, not life.

The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detectors be located throughout a protected premise following the
recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire
Protection Association Standard 72 (NFPA 72),
manufacturer's recommendations, State and local codes, and
the recommendations contained in the Guide for Proper Use
of System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no
charge to all installing dealers. A study by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (an agency of the United States
government) indicated that smoke detectors may not go off in
as many as 35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are designed to provide early warning against fire, they do not guarantee warning or protection against fire. A fire alarm system
may not provide timely or adequate warning, or simply may not
function, for a variety of reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot
reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in or behind walls, on
roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors
also may not sense a fire on another level or floor of a building. A second-floor detector, for example, may not sense a
first-floor or basement fire.
Particles of combustion or "smoke" from a developing fire
may not reach the sensing chambers of smoke detectors because:
• Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, or
chimneys may inhibit particle or smoke flow.
• Smoke particles may become "cold," stratify, and not reach
the ceiling or upper walls where detectors are located.
• Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by air
outlets.
• Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before
reaching the detector.
The amount of "smoke" present may be insufficient to alarm
smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are designed to alarm at
various levels of smoke density. If such density levels are not
created by a developing fire at the location of detectors, the
detectors will not go into alarm.
Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have sensing
limitations. Detectors that have photoelectronic sensing
chambers tend to detect smoldering fires better than flaming
fires, which have little visible smoke. Detectors that have ionizing-type sensing chambers tend to detect fast-flaming fires
better than smoldering fires. Because fires develop in different ways and are often unpredictable in their growth, neither
type of detector is necessarily best and a given type of detector may not provide adequate warning of a fire.
Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate
warning of fires caused by arson, children playing with
matches (especially in bedrooms), smoking in bed, and violent
explosions (caused by escaping gas, improper storage of
flammable materials, etc.).

IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in the
same room as the control panel and in rooms used by the system for the connection of alarm transmission wiring, communications, signaling, and/or power. If detectors are not so located, a developing fire may damage the alarm system, crippling its ability to report a fire.
Audible warning devices such as bells may not alert people
if these devices are located on the other side of closed or
partly open doors or are located on another floor of a building.
Any warning device may fail to alert people with a disability or
those who have recently consumed drugs, alcohol or medication. Please note that:
• Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures
in people with conditions such as epilepsy.
• Studies have shown that certain people, even when they
hear a fire alarm signal, do not respond or comprehend the
meaning of the signal. It is the property owner's responsibility to conduct fire drills and other training exercise to make
people aware of fire alarm signals and instruct them on the
proper reaction to alarm signals.
• In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can
cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.
A fire alarm system will not operate without any electrical
power. If AC power fails, the system will operate from standby
batteries only for a specified time and only if the batteries
have been properly maintained and replaced regularly.
Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible with the control. It is essential to use only equipment
listed for service with your control panel.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a
premise to a central monitoring station may be out of service
or temporarily disabled. For added protection against telephone line failure, backup radio transmission systems are recommended.
The most common cause of fire alarm malfunction is inadequate maintenance. To keep the entire fire alarm system in
excellent working order, ongoing maintenance is required per
the manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA standards. At a minimum, the requirements of Chapter 7 of NFPA
72 shall be followed. Environments with large amounts of
dust, dirt or high air velocity require more frequent maintenance. A maintenance agreement should be arranged
through the local manufacturer's representative. Maintenance
should be scheduled monthly or as required by National and/
or local fire codes and should be performed by authorized professional fire alarm installers only. Adequate written records
of all inspections should be kept.

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 control panel. Disconnect all sources
of power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards,
modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized.
Do not attempt to install, service, or operate this unit until this
manual is read and understood.
CAUTION - System Reacceptance Test after Software
Changes. To ensure proper system operation, this product
must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 Chapter 7 after
any programming operation or change in site-specific software. Reacceptance testing is required after any change, addition or deletion of system components, or after any modification, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring.
All components, circuits, system operations, or software functions known to be affected by a change must be 100% tested.
In addition, to ensure that other operations are not inadvertently affected, at least 10% of initiating devices that are not
directly affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must also be tested and proper system operation verified.
This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at
0-49° C/32-120° F and at a relative humidity of 85% RH (noncondensing) at 30° C/86° F. However, the useful life of the
system's standby batteries and the electronic components
may be adversely affected by extreme temperature ranges
and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that this system
and all peripherals be installed in an environment with a nominal room temperature of 15-27° C/60-80° F.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and
indicating device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate more
than a 10% I.R. drop from the specified device voltage.

Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may
operate erratically or can be damaged when subjected to lightning-induced transients. Although no system is completely
immune from lightning transients and interferences, proper
grounding will reduce susceptibility. Overhead or outside
aerial wiring is not recommended, due to an increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Technical Services Department if any problems are anticipated or
encountered.
Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or inserting circuit boards. Failure to do so can damage circuits.
Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling, filing,
reaming, or punching of the enclosure. When possible, make
all cable entries from the sides or rear. Before making modifications, verify that they will not interfere with battery, transformer, and printed circuit board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs.
Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced
terminal contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal
removal.
Though designed to last many years, system components
can fail at any time. This system contains static-sensitive
components. Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap
before handling any circuits so that static charges are removed from the body. Use static-suppressive packaging
to protect electronic assemblies removed from the unit.
Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and
programming manuals. These instructions must be followed
to avoid damage to the control panel and associated
equipment. FACP operation and reliability depend upon
proper installation by authorized personnel.

1.6.1 Intelligent Addressable Detectors: Newer Series
Intelligent, addressable detectors provide information to the control panel on an SLC
Signaling Line Circuit (refer to the ADT SLC Wiring Manual for detailed information on
device installation, wiring and operation). This allows the control panel to continually
process the information to determine the status (alarm, trouble, maintenance or normal) of
each detector. Each detector responds to an SLC address that is set in the detector head
using built-in rotary decimal switches with the ability to select up to 159 addresses. Note
that a blinking LED on an intelligent detector indicates communication between the
detector and the control panel. Refer to the ADT Device Compatibility Document for a
list of approved detectors.

1.6.2 Intelligent Addressable Modules: Newer Series

Reference
Manual

The newer series of Control Modules and Monitor Modules provide an interface between
the control panel and conventional notification and initiating devices. Each module can be
set to respond to an address with built-in rotary switches with the ability to select up to
159 addresses (a tab on the address switch must be broken off to use addresses 100-159).
A blinking LED on a monitor module indicates communication between the module and
the control panel. These devices can also be used in CLIP Mode (Classic Loop Interface
Protocol) when installed on older systems. Refer to the ADT Device Compatibility
Document for a list of approved notification and initiating devices.
Monitor Modules
The MMF-300, MDF-300 and MMF-302 are addressable monitor modules for monitoring
conventional initiating devices. The MMF-300 is used for normally open contact alarm
initiating devices, such as manual pull stations, four-wire smoke detectors, heat detectors,
waterflow, security contacts and supervisory devices. The MDF-300 is a dual monitor
module (Class B only) which occupies two consecutive SLC addresses, with each module
functionally the same as the MMF-300. The MMF-302 is used primarily for two-wire
smokes detectors in addition to normally open contact devices. The supervised IDCs
(Initiating Device Circuits) can be wired to the modules as NFPA Style B (Class B) or
Style D (Class A) circuits. The modules are supplied with a thermoplastic cover for
mounting to a 4-inch mounting box.
Monitor Module (miniature)
The MMF-301 is an addressable module that is functionally similar to an MMF-300 but
offered in a smaller package for mounting directly in the electrical box of the device being
monitored.
Control Module
The CMF-300 is an addressable Control Module used to connect NACs (Notification
Appliance Circuits) to power and supervise compatible, UL-listed notification appliances.
The NACs can be wired to the module as supervised NFPA Style Y (Class B) or Style Z
(Class A) circuits. The modules are supplied with a thermoplastic cover for mounting to a
4-inch square mounting box.
Relay Module
The CRF-300 is a Control Relay Module which is functionally similar to the CMF-300 but
used as a Form-C relay module.
Isolator Module
The I300 loop isolator module is an automatic switch which opens the circuit voltage to
the SLC loop branch(es) whenever a wire-to-wire short circuit is detected on that loop.
The remainder of the communications loop leading up to the I300 will continue to operate,
unaffected by the short. The isolator module is bidirectional, meaning that it can detect a
fault condition between the input SLC terminals or output SLC terminals. The I300 is
required to meet NFPA Style 7 requirements.
Detector Annunciator
The RA400Z is a remote single LED annunciator that can be wired directly to an
addressable detector for annunciation of that detector’s alarm status.
Manual Pull Station
The ADT-BG-12LX is an addressable manual pull station featuring a key-lock reset. The
pull station responds to an address set by the installer using the built-in rotary decimal
switches on the pull station. The manual pull station includes an ADT key.

2.6.4 Printer/PC
A serial printer or a PC (personal computer) may be connected to TB7 Terminals 1 - 4 on
the FACP. The printer can be used to provide a hard-copy printout of real-time events,
history file and walktest data. An IBM compatible PC can be connected to provide local
FACP programming capabilities using the PK-9600 programming utility. Installation of
either device requires panel programming to allow the FACP to communicate with the
device.

!

CAUTION! Do not connect a printer or PC to the Unimode 9600 FACP if a ground fault
exists on the control panel. Circuit damage may result. Remove all power (AC and DC)
before installing or removing any wiring.
Installation
Remote printers and PCs require separate primary power. Also required is the PRT/
PK-CABLE which is an interface cable prewired to a DB9F connector. Wire the PRT/PKCABLE to TB7 Terminals 1 - 4 as illustrated in the following figure. Connect the DB9F
connector to the printer or PC serial EIA-232 port. If a nine-pin serial connector is not
available on the printer or PC, use a DB25 adapter. Make certain that the DB25 adapter
does not swap the Transmit and Receive lines. Apply power to the FACP and printer or
PC. Note that a ground fault may occur on the FACP, dependent on the printer or PC
being used, due to this connection. For this reason, it is important that there be no
preexisting ground fault on the panel.
Note that the printer may or may not be supervised as determined by user programming.

Programming

3.1 Programming Data Entry
Programming can be accomplished using the Unimode 9600 keypad or by connecting an
optional standard computer keyboard. The keyboard can be connected to the PS-2
connector J7 on the control panel main circuit board.
The information presented in this section refers to programming the Unimode 9600 via the
onboard keypad. If an optional computer keyboard is connected to the Unimode 9600
main circuit board, the following table describes the keyboard keys which correspond to
the onboard keypad keys.

3.2 User Programming
!!

The Unimode 9600 is completely field programmable and requires no special software
skills. While programming the Unimode 9600, the fire protection capabilities of the
control panel are enabled.
Site-specific programming may be accomplished in three ways:
•

Autoprogramming Feature - This is a convenient method for quickly bringing the
FACP addressable SLC devices on-line without the necessity of programming each
device individually. Refer to "Autoprogram" on page 87 for a detailed description
of Autoprogramming

•

Manual programming or editing, using the FACP keypad or a PC keyboard

•

Off-line Programming and Editing Feature - allows creation and editing of sitespecific custom programs using a Windows-based computer. For programs
requiring a large amount of data entry, this method may be preferred. A PK-9600
programming kit can be ordered for this purpose

The System All Normal screen will be displayed in a programmed system with no active
alarms, troubles or supervisories, as illustrated below:

SYSTEM@ALL@NORMAL
10:00A@010801
Programming and Read Status mode can be entered while the panel is in any mode of
operation. If the panel is in alarm, the alarm condition must be acknowledged before
entering other modes. To access any of the programming or read status features, the Enter
or Mode key must be pressed, which will cause the LCD to display the following:

1=READ@STATUS
2=PROGRAMMING

See Page

Pressing 1, while this screen is being displayed, will cause the control panel to enter the
Read Status feature which allows the user to view the programmed features and status of
the control panel The Read Status feature is not password protected. Refer to "Read
Status" on page 117 for a detailed description of this feature.
Pressing 2 will select user Programming which may only be accomplished by an
authorized person. After pressing 2, a screen will prompt for a password. After entering
the correct password, the user may select from a list of programming options.
Exit Programming or Read Status
The programmer can exit Read Status or Programming mode by repeatedly pressing the
keypad ESC (Escape) key until the display reads System All Normal. Note that the data
which is entered during Programming mode is not saved until the programmer exits this
mode by repeatedly pressing the ‘ESC’ key. If the Reset key is pressed or power is lost
before exiting Programming mode, all data which was just entered will be lost.

8QLPRGH31&



3URJUDPPLQJ

,QLWLDO3RZHUXS
User Programming Levels
There are two user programming levels:
•

User Master Program Level 1 is used for programming panel specific data relating
to device types, zoning, messages, control panel functions, etc.

•

User Maintenance Program Level 2 is used by a qualified operator to access
features such as Disable/Enable, View and Clear History, Walktest and System
Time Change.

3.3 Initial Power-up
The following sections describe the initial programming procedures for a new system.
The same procedures are used to modify programming in an existing system.
After completing the wiring of addressable devices to the SLC, apply power to the control
panel. If the addressable devices have not yet been programmed into the FACP, their
LEDs will not flash and the following trouble message will be displayed.

TROUBL@IN@SYSTEM
NO@DEVICES@INSTALLED
09:03A@010801

3.4 Programming Screens Description

See Page

Two main options are available when the Enter key is pressed: Read Status and
Programming. Each option has multiple functions or features which may be chosen. To
view all of the choices, it is necessary that the programmer scroll through a number of
additional subscreens. These selections are displayed on multiple screens to make them
more readable for the programmer. Refer to "Master Programming Level" on page 42, for
additional information on the various screens.
The title of the main option screen will always be displayed at the top of the subscreens for
the programmer’s convenience. If additional subscreens exist, an Up or Down arrow will
be displayed in the upper right corner of the screen being viewed. The programmer can
then press the keypad Up or Down arrow key to view the new subscreen. To select one of
the choices in a screen, the programmer presses the keypad numerical key corresponding
to the desired choice.
Note that subscreens may also have multiple options which require viewing more than one
screen. The same process, as detailed in the previous paragraphs, is followed to view all
option choices.

3.5 Programming and Passwords

See Page



There are two factory set programming passwords which will access the Programming
screens as indicated in the following examples. From either of the screens, access to
specific system and device features or programming may be obtained. All user
programming entries are stored in nonvolatile memory. The factory set passwords can be
changed by the user as described in "Password Change" on page 93. If an invalid
password is entered, the blinking cursor will return to the first password character
position. To exit Programming or Read Status mode at any time, press the ESC (Escape)
key repeatedly. Note that Programming mode must be exited using the ESC key in order
to store the program data entered during this mode. If the Reset key is pressed or power is
lost before exiting Programming mode, the data just entered will not be saved.

To access user Programming mode, press the Enter or Mode key. The LCD will display
the following:

1=READ@STATUS
2=PROGRAMMING

To enter the user Programming mode, press 2. The display will read as follows:

PROGRAMMING
ENTER@PASSWORD
*****

Entering the Master level password (default 00000) will cause the following screen to
appear:

@@@@PROGRAMMING
1=POINT@PROGRAM
2=ZONE@SETUP
3=LOOP@SETUP

If the Maintenance level password (default 11111) is entered, the following screen will
appear:

@@@@PROGRAMMING
1=POINT PROGRAM
2=HISTORY
3=PROGRAM CHECK

Note that in the two preceding screens, an arrow appears to inform the programmer that
additional options can be viewed by pressing the keypad down arrow key.

Pressing the Acknowledge/Step or Alarm Silence key will cause the pulsing piezo to
silence and the system Trouble LED to change from flashing to on steady. This block
acknowledgment occurs regardless of the number of troubles, alarms and supervisory
events active in the system. When the Acknowledge/Step key is pressed and at least one
new alarm or trouble exists in the system, the ‘acknowledge’ message is sent to the printer
and history file. If the trouble clears, either before or after the Acknowledge/Step key is
pressed, the ‘clear trouble’ message is sent to the printer and history file.
If all troubles clear and there are no supervisory or fire conditions active in the system, the
system returns to normal mode operation and the System All Normal message is shown on
the LCD display and sent to the history and printer files. The auto-restore feature will
restore cleared troubles even if the troubles were never acknowledged. Note that pressing
the Alarm Silence key when only troubles exist in the system will have the same effect as
pressing the Acknowledge/Step key except the Alarm Silenced LED will light.
If multiple trouble conditions exist in the system, they will be automatically scrolled on
the LCD display at a three second rate. If a combination of alarms, troubles and/or
supervisory conditions simultaneously occur in the system, only the alarms are scrolled on
the display.

4.5 Alarm Operation

•

The piezo sounder turns on steady

•

The LCD displays a hazard message along with the device name, type, address,
adjective/noun, associated zones and time/date

•

Relays programmed for process monitoring will be activated

•

cleared. They can be assigned to software zones.

4.9 Medical Alert Condition Operation
Medical Alert Condition operation will initiate the following events:
•

The piezo sounder turns on steady

•

The LCD displays a medical alert message along with the device name, type,
address, adjective/noun, associated zones and time/date

•

Relays programmed for medical alert will be activated

•

condition is cleared. They can be assigned to software zones.

4.10 NAC Operation
There are two programmable NACs (Notification Appliance Circuits) resident on the
Unimode 9600 main circuit board. Both NACs may be programmed as silenceable or
nonsilenceable and may also be programmed for steady or coded operation. Coded
operation provides a choice between March Time, Temporal or California coding.

8QLPRGH31&



2SHUDWLQJ,QVWUXFWLRQV

3URJUDPPHG=RQH2SHUDWLRQ

4.11 Programmed Zone Operation
Each addressable detector and monitor module can be assigned to a maximum of five
software alarm zones. A general alarm zone Z00 may be listed for output (control) points,
but it is not necessary to list Z00 for input points, since this is the default zone for all alarm
input devices. Zone Z00 is not activated by supervisory points.
When an input device alarms and is not disabled, it activates all software zones assigned to
it. An output device that is not disabled is turned on when any of the software zones to
which it is programmed become active.

4.12 Disable/Enable Operation
Input points which are disabled do not cause an alarm or any zone activation. Disabled
output points are held in the off state. All disabled points are treated as if they were in
trouble, with the exception being the status label that will be displayed is DISABL.

4.13 Waterflow Circuits Operation
If an alarm exists from a monitor module point that has a waterflow type code and its
mapped NAC control module outputs are programmed for nonsilenceable operation, the
Alarm Silence key will not function.

4.14 Detector Functions
Maintenance Alert
Each addressable detector is monitored by the control panel for its maintenance status. If
a detector is near but below the allowed alarm limit, a ‘maintenance alert’ message will
automatically be displayed, signaling that the detector is in need of servicing.
Automatic Test Operation
An automatic test of an addressable detector is performed each minute, resulting in a
complete SLC loop test in approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes (if the loop has the
maximum number of devices installed). The detector’s sensing chamber and electronics
are functionally tested for normal, safe operation. A trouble message is displayed upon
failure of this test. A System Reset will clear this trouble.
Type Code Supervision
The control panel monitors addressable hardware device codes at slow intervals.
Mismatch of any type code, compared to the system program, will cause a device trouble.
System Alarm Verification
The control panel may be programmed to perform alarm verification to help eliminate the
nuisance of false alarms. Alarm verification applies to smoke detectors only.
Smoke Detector Data
Smoke detector data is monitored by the FACP, eliminating the need to test the sensitivity
of each detector at its location. A printout of each detector’s data can be retrieved from
the FACP using an optional printer. Detector sensing ability can decrease with age and
should be monitored as part of a system’s routine maintenance.

4.15 Time Functions: Real-Time Clock
The Unimode 9600 includes a crystal-based clock that provides time of day, date and day
of week. Time is displayed as 12 or 24 hour time with month/day/year and is stored in
RAM. Daylight savings time change-over is programmable and automatic. If both AC
and battery are lost, the time must be reset.



8QLPRGH31&

6\QFKURQL]HG1$&2SHUDWLRQ

2SHUDWLQJ,QVWUXFWLRQV

4.16 Synchronized NAC Operation
Synchronization is a panel feature that controls the activation of notification appliances in
such a way that all devices will turn on and off at exactly the same time. This is
particularly critical when activating strobes which must be synchronized to avoid random
activation and a potential hazard or confusion. The FACP can be programmed to operate
with a variety of manufacturer’s devices.
Important: When a Notification Appliance Circuit with a mix of audible and visual
devices is programmed for silenceable and the synchronization feature is selected, only
the audible devices will be turned off if the Silence key is pressed. The visual devices
(strobes, etc.) will continue to operate.

4.17 Coded Operation
The two NAC circuits resident on the control panel main circuit board can be programmed
for coded operation. The available pulse rates which can be programmed for coded
operation are as follows:
•
•
•

Continuous:
March Time:
Temporal Code:

•
•

California Code:
Two-Stage

Steady output with no pulsing
Pulses at 120 ppm (pulses per minute)
Pulses at ½ second On, ½ second Off, ½ second On, ½
second Off, ½ second On, 1½ second Off
10 seconds On, 5 seconds Off
Pulses at 20 ppm (pulses per minute) for 5 minutes and
then changes to on steady

4.18 Presignal
Presignal option programs an initiating device to delay the activation of NACs and/or
control modules while allowing visual verification by a person. Once a detector or
monitor module triggers an alarm, the onboard piezo sounds immediately, but the NACs
are not activated for a user programmed time duration of up to three minutes. Note that the
alarm relay and communicator will respond to the initial alarm immediately. In addition,
Zone 98 will activate. This zone can be programmed to a control module which may be
used to activate a sounder or indicator which the installer designates as a Presignal
indication. 'RQRWDVVLJQ=RQHWRD1RWLILFDWLRQ$SSOLDQFH&LUFXLWZKHQXVLQJWKLV
]RQHWRLQGLFDWHD3UHVLJQDOFRQGLWLRQ
After the programmed delay, the NACs will activate if the source of the alarm is not
cleared. Note that if a second alarm occurs during the programmed time delay, the alarm
will be processed immediately, causing activation of the appropriate output zones. The
events which occur upon Presignal activation are as follows:
✓
✓
✓
✓

onboard piezo sounds immediately
control panel LCD display will indicate a presignal event and the active point
control points programmed to Zone 98 will activate
annunciators (if enabled) will sound the local piezo, and pulse the alarm LED and
zone LED
✓ outputs (NACs and control modules) of associated zones will be inhibited from
activating for a user programmed time delay of up to three minutes
✓ second alarm occurring anytime during the time delay will cause immediate
activation of all associated outputs
Presignal does not affect monitor modules programmed as waterflow, supervisory, process
monitoring or remote switches. Presignal operation requires the approval of the local
Authority Having Jurisdiction.

4.19 Positive Alarm Sequence
PAS (Positive Alarm Sequence) option will program an initiating device to delay panel
activation (including alarm relay and communicator) for a period of 15 seconds. Zone 97,
however, will activate immediately and may be used to connect a signaling device to
indicate PAS activation. 'RQRWDVVLJQ=RQHWRD1RWLILFDWLRQ$SSOLDQFH&LUFXLWZKHQ
XVLQJWKLV]RQHWRLQGLFDWHD3$6FRQGLWLRQ
When a detector or monitor module triggers an alarm, the onboard piezo sounds
immediately, but the NACs are prevented from activating for 15 seconds. This inhibit
time is factory set and cannot be changed. Pressing the Alarm Silence or Acknowledge/
Step key during the 15 second inhibit time will silence the piezo sounder and start a timer
which prevents activation of NACs for an additional time duration which can be user
programmed for up to three minutes. After the programmed delay, the NACs will activate
if the source of the alarm is not cleared. Note that if a second alarm occurs during either
time delay, the alarm will be processed immediately, causing activation of the appropriate
output zones. The events which occur upon PAS activation are as follows:
✓ onboard piezo sounds immediately
✓ control panel LCD display will indicate a presignal event and the active point
✓ control points programmed to Zone 97 will activate
✓ annunciators (if enabled) will sound the local piezo, and pulse the alarm LED and
zone LED
✓ outputs (NACs and control modules) of associated zones will be inhibited from
activating for a factory set duration of 15 seconds
✓ pressing the Alarm Silence or Acknowledge/Step key will start a timer which
inhibits output activation for additional time delay of up to three minutes which
is user programmable
✓ second alarm occurring anytime during either time delay will cause immediate
activation of all associated outputs
PAS does not affect monitor modules programmed as waterflow, supervisory, process
monitoring or remote switches. PAS operation requires the approval of the local Authority
Having Jurisdiction.
Note that the PAS BYPASS monitor type code, when activated, will inhibit the PAS
capability until the PAS BYPASS monitor is deactivated. While PAS is inhibited, signaling
devices will immediately place the control panel into alarm. This feature may be
employed by wiring a normally open device, such as a switch, to a monitor module which
has been programmed for PAS BYPASS.

4.20 Special System Timers
4.20.1 Silence Inhibit Timer
This option, if selected, prevents the Alarm Silence key from functioning for 60 seconds
following an alarm. A new alarm during the initial 60 seconds will cause the timer to
restart with a new 60 seconds. Silence Inhibit operation requires the approval of the local
Authority Having Jurisdiction.

4.20.2 Autosilence Timer
If Autosilence is selected, the notification appliances, programmed as silenceable, will
automatically be silenced after a programmable duration of from 5 to 30 minutes.
Pressing the Drill key will restart the timer. Autosilence operation requires the approval
of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction.

4.20.3 Trouble Reminder
If selected, this feature causes a reminding ‘beep’ every 15 seconds during an alarm (after
the Alarm Silence key is pressed) and every two minutes during a trouble condition (after
the Acknowledge/Step or Alarm Silence key is pressed). The ‘beeps’ from the onboard
piezo sounder will occur until the alarm or fault is cleared.
Note that if the trouble is not cleared within 24 hours, the piezo will resound, indicating
that the trouble condition still exists.

4.20.4 Waterflow Retard Timer
If selected, this option will delay the activation of a waterflow type alarm for a
programmable time duration from 1 to 90 seconds. This delay is in addition to any time
delay inherent in the waterflow device. This feature requires the approval of the local
Authority Having Jurisdiction.

4.20.5 Alarm Verification (None or Two Minutes)
If alarm verification is selected, an addressable smoke detector's alarm is ignored for a
retard time of 13 seconds and the detector's alarm condition is automatically reset. There
will be no alarm indication at the FACP during the Retard period. A confirmation period
of one minute and 47 seconds follows, during which a subsequent alarm from the same
detector will cause the panel to immediately activate the appropriate outputs and indicate
the alarm condition at the FACP. If a different detector alarms any time during the first
detector's verification period, the panel will immediately activate all appropriate outputs
and indicate the alarm condition at the FACP. If no additional detector alarms occur
within two minutes of the first alarm (13 second retard plus one minute and 47 second
confirmation), the timer resets and the panel is ready to verify any new detector alarms
which may occur.

4.21 Walktest
Walktest is a feature which allows one person to test the fire alarm system. An audible
walktest will momentarily sound the Notification Appliance Circuits in the building and
store the walktest information in a file at the panel. A silent walktest will not sound the
NACs but will store the walktest information in a file which can be viewed at the panel.
Disabled NAC devices will not activate during walktest.
Alarm/Shorted Condition
When in audible Walktest, the panel responds to each new alarm and activates its
programmed control outputs for four seconds, if those outputs have been programmed for
silenceable activation. It also stores each alarm in the walktest history file which can be
sent to an optional printer. The stored display will be the same as if the device actually
activated except the colon (:) in the time stamp is replaced with an asterisk (*).
Open Condition
Addressable devices as well as both main circuit board NACs are monitored for fault
conditions during Walktest mode. When a new trouble condition occurs, the FACP will
activate all NACs and control modules programmed for Walktest, then shut them off after
eight seconds.
While in Walktest, the trouble relay is activated and the system Trouble LED flashes (as in
all of the Program and status change operations). The alarm relay is not activated.

405 - 2100 (obscuration of 1.00%/ft. to 3.66%/ft.)

•

CP350 and CP300 Addressable Ionization Smoke Detectors: 750 - 2100
(obscuration of 0.50%/ft. to 1.44%/ft.)

If the addressable smoke detector’s Chamber reading is not within the acceptable range,
clean the detector and check the Chamber value again. If the reading is still not within the
acceptable range, immediately replace the detector.

5HDG6WDWXV

2SHUDWLQJ,QVWUXFWLRQV
Drift Compensation
Drift compensation uses software algorithms that identify and compensate for long-term
changes in the data readings from each addressable smoke detector. These long-term
changes in detector data readings are typically caused by dirt and dust accumulation inside
the smoke chamber. Drift compensation performs the following functions:
•

Allows a smoke detector to retain its original ability to detect actual smoke and
resist false alarms, even as dirt and dust accumulate

•

Reduces maintenance requirements by allowing the control panel to automatically
perform the periodic sensitivity measurements required by NFPA Standard 72

The FACP software also provides smoothing filters to remove transient noise signals,
usually caused by electrical interference.
Maintenance Alert
The software determines when the drift compensation for a detector reaches an
unacceptable level that can compromise detector performance. When a detector reaches
an unacceptable level, the control panel indicates a maintenance alert. Table 4.1
summarizes the three levels of maintenance alert:
Maintenance Level

FACP Status Display

Low Chamber Value

INVREP

DIRTY1

Dust accumulation that is near but below the
allowed limit. DIRTY 1 indicates the need for
maintenance before the performance of the detector
is compromised

Maintenance Urgent

DIRTY2

Dust accumulation above the allowed limit.

Power Supply Calculations

Power Supply Calculations

SECTION 5
5.1 Overview

This section contains instructions and tables for calculating power supply currents in
alarm and standby conditions. This is a four-step process, consisting of the following:
1. Calculating the total amount of AC branch circuit current required to operate the
system
2. Calculating the power supply load current for non-fire and fire alarm conditions and
calculating the secondary (battery) load
3. Calculating the size of batteries required to support the system if an AC power loss
occurs
4. Selecting the proper batteries for your system

5.2 Calculating the AC Branch Circuit
The control panel requires connection to a separate, dedicated AC branch circuit, which
must be labeled FIRE ALARM. This branch circuit must connect to the line side of the
main power feed of the protected premises. No other non-fire alarm equipment may be
powered from the fire alarm branch circuit. The branch circuit wire must run
continuously, without any disconnect devices, from the power source to the control panel.
Overcurrent protection for this circuit must comply with Article 760 of the National
Electrical Codes as well as local codes. Use 14 AWG (2.00 mm2) wire with 600 volt
insulation for this branch circuit.
Use Table 5.1 , to determine the total amount of current, in AC amperes (A), that must be
supplied to the system.

5.3.2 How to Use Table 5.3 on page 129 to Calculate System
Current Draw
Use Table 5.3 on page 129 to calculate current draws as follows:
1. Enter the quantity of devices in all three columns
2. Enter the current draw where required. Refer to the ADT Device Compatibility
Document for compatible devices and their current draw
3. Calculate the current draws for each in all columns
4. Sum the total current for each column
5. Copy the totals from Column 2 and Column 3 to Table 5.4 on page 130
Following are the types of current that can be entered into Table 5.3 on page 129:
✓ Calculation Column 1 - The primary supply current load that the control panel
must support during a non-fire alarm condition, with AC power applied.
✓ Calculation Column 2 - The primary supply current load that the control panel
must support during a fire alarm condition, with AC power applied.
✓ Calculation Column 3 - The standby current drawn from the batteries in a nonfire alarm condition during a loss of AC power.

Setup and configuration of an addressable system is different than a conventional system.
In a conventional system, assignment of input devices (smoke detectors, pull stations, heat
detectors, etc.) to zones is accomplished through wiring. The wiring is direct from clearly
marked panel terminals to any device assigned to a particular zone. Connection of output
devices (horns, bells, strobes, etc.) in a conventional system is accomplished by direct
wiring of the output devices to Notification Appliance Circuit terminals.
In an addressable system, a minimum of a single pair of wires (SLC communication loop)
is used to connect all addressable input and output devices. Communications between the
FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel) and all addressable devices takes place over the wire
pair which originates from the FACP. Software programming is used to configure the
system as opposed to direct wiring. Zone assignments are created via software means,
hence the term software zones.
Setup of an Unimode 9600 software zone is accomplished by panel programming. Each
addressable device can be assigned to a maximum of five software zones. Each software
zone, however, may have from 1 to 99 addressable input devices assigned to it and from 1
to 99 addressable output devices assigned to it.
Monitor and control modules comprise one group of 99 addresses, with each module
having a unique address from 1 to 99. Detectors comprise a separate group of 99
addresses, each detector having a unique address from 1 to 99 in its group. Be careful not
to duplicate addresses within any one group (modules and detectors). Refer to the
following page for an example of zoning.
In the example on the following page:
•

Zone 01 has the following addressable devices assigned to it:
✓ SD350 smoke detectors with addresses 01 and 02
✓ MMF-300 monitor module with address 01
✓ MMF-302 monitor module with address 02 and 03
✓ CMF-300 control modules with addresses 05, 06, 07, 09 and 13

•

Zone 02 has the following addressable devices assigned to it:
✓ MMF-302 monitor module with addresses 02 and 03
✓ CP350 smoke detectors with addresses 03 and 04
✓ CMF-300 control modules with addresses 08, 09 and 10

•

Zone 03 has the following addressable devices assigned to it:
✓ SD350 smoke detectors with addresses 05, 06 and 07
✓ MMF-302 control module with address 04
✓ CMF-300 control modules with addresses 09, 11 and 12

The example points out some of the key assignment features of the Unimode 9600.
Addresses of detectors are not duplicated. Addresses of monitor and control modules are
not duplicated. The control module with address 09 is assigned to three software zones
(providing floor above and floor below). Be careful to properly plan the installation prior
to installing any devices.
CLIP

or Classic Loop Interface Protocol devices (modules and detectors) can only have
unique addresses of 1 to 99. Newer modules can have unique addresses of 1 to 159 which
means each zone can have up to 159 input and output devices assigned to it.

APPENDIX C

T-tapping of the SLC loop wiring is allowed for 2-wire (Style 4) configurations. The total
resistance of any branch cannot exceed 40 ohms. The total wire length of all branches
cannot exceed 10,000 feet (3,000 m).
Connecting external system accessories to the Unimode 9600 main circuits must be
carefully considered to ensure proper operation. It is important to use the correct type of
wire, wire gauge and wire run length for each Unimode 9600 circuit. Reference the chart
below to specify wire requirements and limitations for each Unimode 9600 circuit.
Note: If the SLC loop is to be run in conduit with Notification Appliance Circuits, the risk
of encountering problems can be greatly reduced by exclusively employing electronic
sounders (such as MA/SS-24D) instead of more electronically noisy notification
appliances such as electromechanical bells or horns.
