Fire Alarm & Emergency Communication System Limitations

While a life safety system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for life and property 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 panel (FACP) 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.
An emergency communication system—typically made up of
an automatic fire alarm system (as described above) and a life
safety communication system that may include an autonomous
control unit (ACU), local operating console (LOC), voice communication, and other various interoperable communication methods—can broadcast a mass notification message. Such a
system, however, does not assure protection against property
damage or loss of life resulting from a fire or life safety event.
The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat
detectors be located throughout a protected premises 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. This document can be found at http://
www.systemsensor.com/appguides/. 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, chimneys, even wet or humid areas 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, such as air conditioning vents.
• 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.).
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.
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, compromising its ability to report a fire.
Audible warning devices such as bells, horns, strobes,
speakers and displays 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:
• An emergency communication system may take priority over
a fire alarm system in the event of a life safety emergency.
• Voice messaging systems must be designed to meet intelligibility requirements as defined by NFPA, local codes, and
Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
• Language and instructional requirements must be clearly disseminated on any local displays.
• 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 to or comprehend the
meaning of the signal. Audible devices, such as horns and
bells, can have different tonal patterns and frequencies. It is
the property owner's responsibility to conduct fire drills and
other training exercises 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 life safety 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 panel. It is essential to use only equipment
listed for service with your control panel.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises 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 life safety system malfunction is
inadequate maintenance. To keep the entire life safety 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 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 life safety system 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 manuals are read and understood.
CAUTION - System Re-acceptance Test after Software
Changes: To ensure proper system operation, this product
must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 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 0-49º
C/32-120º F and at a relative humidity 93% ± 2% RH (noncondensing) at 32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 3°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 its peripherals be installed in an environment with
a normal room temperature of 15-27º C/60-80º 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 interference, 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, or printed circuit board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Overtightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal
contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal.
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.

MS-5UD & MS-10UD Series Manual — P/N 52626:C6 1/15/2015

Section 1: Product Description
The MS-5UD is a five zone FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel) and the MS-10UD is a ten zone
FACP. The information in this manual refers to both the MS-5UD and MS-10UD unless otherwise
specified. The combination control and digital communicator panels provide reliable fire signaling
protection for small to medium sized commercial, industrial and institutional buildings. The FACP
is compatible with System Sensor’s i3 detectors which are conventional smoke detectors that can
transmit a maintenance trouble signal to the FACP indicating the need for cleaning and a supervisory ‘freeze’ signal when the ambient temperature falls below the detector rating of approximately
45o F (refer to System Sensor i3 Installation and Maintenance Instructions). In addition, the control
panel is compatible with conventional input devices such as two-wire smoke detectors, four-wire
smoke detectors, pull stations, waterflow devices, tamper switches and other normally-open contact
devices. Refer to the Fire•Lite Device Compatibility Document for a complete listing of compatible devices.
Outputs include four NACs (Notification Appliance Circuits), three programmable Form-C relays
(factory programmed for Alarm, Trouble and Supervisory) and 24 VDC special application resettable and nonresettable power outputs. The FACP supervises all wiring, AC voltage, battery level
and telephone line integrity. Available accessories include local and remote upload/download software, remote annunciators and reverse polarity/city box transmitter.
The integral DACT transmits system status (alarms, troubles, AC loss, etc.) to a Central Station via
the public switched telephone network. It also allows remote programming or interrogation of the
control panel using the PS-Tools Upload/Download utility via the public switched telephone network. Local programming interrogation is also possible using the PS-Tools and the USB port on
the FACP. Any personal computer with Windows® XP or newer, compatible modem with a speed
of 2400 baud and PS-Tools may serve as a Service Terminal. This allows download of the entire
program or upload of the entire program, history file, walktest data and current status.
Activation of a compatible smoke detector or any normally-open fire alarm initiating device will
activate audible and visual signaling devices, illuminate an indicating LED, display alarm information on the panel’s LCD, sound the piezo sounder at the FACP, activate the FACP alarm relay and
operate an optional module used to notify a remote station or initiate an auxiliary control function.

2.3 Input Circuits
The MS-5UD has five IDCs (Initiating Device Circuits) and the MS-10UD has ten IDCs. Each circuit is compatible with System Sensor’s i3 smoke detectors which generate a maintenance signal
when the detector becomes dirty and a separate supervisory ‘freeze’ signal when ambient temperature falls below the detector rating of approximately 45oF. The maximum loop resistance limit for
each IDC is 100 ohms (700 ohms per zone for linear heat detection). Do not use 2-wire smoke
detectors on input zones used for linear heat detection. The field wiring for each zone is supervised
for opens, shorts and ground faults. All conditions are visually and audibly annunciated.
Each circuit is configured for Style B (Class B) operation and will accept i3 smoke detectors, any
normally-open contact devices as well as conventional 2-wire or 4-wire, 24 VDC smoke detectors.
Refer to the Fire•Lite Device Compatibility Document for a list of compatible devices.

2.4.4 Remote Synchronization Output
Synchronization is a 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 to individuals. Devices connected directly to the control panel’s NAC can be synchronized as described
in “Synchronized NAC Operation” on page 69.
Notification appliances connected to remote power sources may require synchronization with the
FACP’s devices. For the MS-5UD-3(E), MS-10UD-3(E), this can be accomplished by connecting
the Remote Synchronization Output from TB2 of the FACP to a compatible sync input of a power
supply such as the FCPS-24FS6/8. The 24 VDC, 40 mA signal from TB2 follows, that is mimics
the signal on NAC 1 (Out 1). This allows the devices connected to the power supply to be synchronized with the devices connected to Out 1 on the FACP.
For the MS-5UD-7(C/E), MS-10UD-7(C/E), the Remote Sync Output is not required. Synchronization for remote power supplies is provided directly from NAC1 (Out 1). Note that NAC 1 (Out
1) must be programmed for sync operation when used for this purpose.
The Remote Synchronization Output is power-limited and supervised and requires a 4.7KΩ ELR
resistor at the remote power supply end of the wiring.

Wiring NACs and IDCs for Class A
Wire the Style Z (Class A) Notification Appliance Circuits using TB5 of the MS-5UD/MS-10UD
and TB2 of the CAC-5X module. Wire the Style D (Class A) Initiating Device Circuits using TB4
of the MS-5UD/MS-10UD and TB1 of the CAC-5X. Note that the wiring will be identical when
using TB7 NAC and TB6 IDC of the MS-10UD. Make certain to observe polarity when
connecting the devices to the circuits. The B+ and A+ terminals must comprise the feed and return
for the positive side of a device and the B- and A- terminals must comprise the feed and return for
the negative side of a device. To configure any of the zones for Class B when the CAC-5X is
installed, simply wire to the B+ and B- input on the FACP terminal(s) and install the End-of-Line
Resistor after the last device on the circuit. Do not wire to the corresponding A+ and A- terminals
on the CAC-5X module. For FCC compliance with Class A wiring, a ferrite bead (supplied with
the CAC-5X board) is required for NAC 1 and for NAC 2. If using NAC 1 and/or NAC 2 with
Class A wiring, a ferrite must be used for each NAC with wiring as shown in Figure 2.15.

Guidelines
•

A variety of optional annunciation devices can be connected to an ANN-BUS communication
circuit. ANN Series devices can be connected to the primary communication circuit (EIA-485)
terminals on TB3. A secondary communication circuit (EIA-485) for these devices is available
at TB1 on the ANN-SEC card.

•

When using one ANN-BUS circuit, up to eight (8) annunciators can be supported.

•

When using both ANN-BUS communication circuits, the primary circuit supports up to three
(3) annunciators and the secondary circuit supports up to (5) annunciators.
Compatible devices include:
– ANN-80 LCD Annunciator
– ANN-80C LCD Indicator (Canadian Applications)
– ANN-S/PG Serial/Parallel Printer Interface Module
– ANN-I/O LED Driver Module
– ANN-LED Annunciator Module
– ANN-RLY Relay Module (can be mounted in the FACP chassis)

•

When operating two ANN-BUS circuits, only one ANN-S/PG Printer module can be used in
the system.

•

The panel is capable of operating a primary ANN-BUS (TB3) and a secondary ANN-BUS
(TB1 on ANN-SEC card) simultaneously.

2.8.1 ANN-BUS Wiring
This section contains information on calculating ANN-BUS wire distances and the types of wiring
configurations (Class B). The length of the 4-conductor wire run is governed by the power pair
loading as described below.

Calculating Wiring Distance for ANN-BUS Modules
The following instructions will guide the installer in determining the type of wire and the maximum
wiring distance that can be used with FACP ANN-BUS accessory modules.
MS-5UD & MS-10UD Series Manual — P/N 52626:C6 1/15/2015

ANN-BUS Devices

Installation

To calculate the wire gauge that must be used to connect ANN-BUS modules to the FACP, it is necessary to calculate the total worst case current draw for all modules on a single 4-conductor bus.
The total worst case current draw is calculated by adding the individual worst case currents for each
module. The individual worst case values are shown in the following table:
Worst Case Current Draw1

Model Number
ANN-80(C) LCD Annunciator/Indicator

0.040 amps

ANN-S/PG Serial/Parallel Printer Interface Module

0.040 amps

ANN-I/O LED Driver Module

0.200 amps

ANN-LED Annunciator Module

0.068 amps

ANN-RLY Relay Module

0.075 amps

1 Total worst case current draw on a single ANN-BUS cannot exceed 0.5 amp.

After calculating the total worst case current draw, Table 2.1 specifies the maximum distance the
modules can be located from the FACP on a single wire run. The table ensures 6.0 volts of line
drop maximum. In general, the wire length is limited by resistance, but for heavier wire gauges,
capacitance is the limiting factor.
These cases are marked in the chart with an asterisk (*). Maximum length can never be more than
6,000 feet (1,800 m), regardless of gauge used. The formula used to generate this chart is shown in
the note below.

Wiring Distance Calculation Example:
Suppose a system is configured with the following ANN-BUS modules:
•

2 ANN-80 Remote Fire Annunciators

•

1 ANN-S/PG Serial/Parallel Printer Interface Module

•

1 ANN-I/O LED Driver Module

The total worst case current is calculated as follows:
ANN-80 Current Draw

= 2 X 0.040 amps

= 0.080 amps

ANN-S/PG Current Draw

= 1 X.0.040 amps

= 0.040 amps

ANN-I/O Current Draw

= 1 X.0.200 amps

= 0.200 amps

Total Worst Case Current Draw

= 0.320 amps

Using this value and referring to the Wiring Distance Table 2.1 on page 42, it can be found that the
available options are:
 463 feet maximum using 22 Gauge wire
 1,172 feet maximum using 18 Gauge wire
 1,866 feet maximum using 16 Gauge wire
 2,953 feet maximum using 14 Gauge wire

2.8.2 ANN-BUS Device Addressing
Each ANN-BUS device requires a unique address (ID Number) in order to communicate with the
FACP. A 5-position DIP switch on each device is usedto set this address. The address set for these
devices must also be programmed at the FACP for the specific device (refer to the programming
section titled “ANN-BUS” on page 76).
A maximum of 8 devices can be connected to the FACP ANN-BUS communication circuit. Device
addresses do not need to be sequential and can be set to any number between 01 and 08. Note that
00 is not a valid address. The following table shows the DIP switch setting for each address.
NOTE: address (ID Number) DIP switches on some devices may have more than 5 switch
positions. Unless otherwise specified in the documentation supplied with each device, switch
positions 6 and above must be set to OFF.

PRN-7 Printer Installation
When connected to the FACP via the ANN-S/PG module, the PRN-7 prints the status changes
within the control panel and time-stamps the printout with the time of day and date that the event
occurred. It provides 80 columns of data on standard 9” x 11” tractor-feed paper. This section
contains information on connecting a printer to the control panel and setting the printer options.
 Connecting a PRN-7 Printer

Remote printers require a primary AC power source. If required for the fire alarm system
configuration (for example, a Proprietary Fire Alarm System), a remote printer requires a
secondary power source (battery backup). Since a secondary power source is not provided as a
standard feature, a separate UL-listed Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) should be used. The
building emergency power supply may be used, as long as it meets the power continuity
requirements of NFPA 72. Refer to NFPA 72 for further details.
Connect the remote printer to the FACP via the ANN-S/PG module using a standard DB-9 cable.
One end of the cable will plug into the DB-9 connector on the PRN-7 printer and the other end
plugs into the serial connector on the ANN-S/PG module.

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
DISCONNECT ALL SOURCES OF POWER (AC AND DC) BEFORE INSTALLING OR REMOVING
ANY WIRING.

The FACP must be enabled to communicate with the ACC-25/50ZS/T Audio Panel over the ANNBUS (refer to “ANN-BUS Enabled” on page 76). This is accomplished by programming the Audio
Panel ANN-BUS address into the FACP (refer to“BUS Modules” on page 76). For details on setting the ANN-BUS address and programming the audio panel, refer to the ACC-25/50ZS/T Series
Audio Panel manual (document #51889).
The ACC-25/50ZS/T Series audio panel connects to the FACP via the ANN-BUS communication
circuit. The five input zones on the MS-5UD correspond to the first five ACC-25/50ZS/T Series
audio zones and the ten input zones on the MS-10UD correspond to the first ten ACC-25/50ZS/T
Series audio zones. The programmer can select which of the five audio messages at the audio panel
will play when an FACP input zone goes into alarm (refer to“ACC Message” on page 65). The

MS-5UD & MS-10UD Series Manual — P/N 52626:C6 1/15/2015

message will play over the corresponding audio panel output circuit. For example, if FACP Input
Zone 3 goes into alarm, the programmed message will play over the ACC-25/50ZS/T output circuit
3. If two or more input zones are active at the same time, the highest priority message will turn on.
One of the FACP input zones can be programmed as an All-Call Zone. If this zone goes into alarm,
all ACC-25/50ZS/T Series audio zones will activate (refer to“ANN-AUDIO Options Screen” on
page 80).
A fault at the ACC-25/50ZS/T Series panel will cause the FACP to indicate a System Trouble and
the display will indicate a Voice Evac Fault.
The only connection between the MS-5UD/10UD and the ACC-25/50ZS/T audio panel is a pair of
communication wires connected between the A/B terminals on TB3 of the FACP and TB1 terminals 2 & 3 of the ACC-ZPMK module on the ACC-25/50ZS/T.

 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.
Maximum Number of Strobes for Synchronization
The maximum current draw for a Notification Appliance Circuit cannot exceed 2.5 amps for models with the FLPS-3 power supply or 3.0 amps for models with the FLPS-7 power supply (refer to
the AC Power section under“Specifications” on page 15). Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation supplied with the Strobes to determine the maximum current draw for each strobe and ensure
that the circuit maximum is not exceeded.
To ensure proper strobe and circuit operation, there is also a limit to the number of strobes that can
be attached to each circuit. Following is a list of the strobes that have been tested with this FACP
and the maximum number that can be connected to each NAC. Make sure that the NAC maximum
current is not exceeded:

MS-5UD & MS-10UD Series Manual — P/N 52626:C6 1/15/2015

Section 4: Operating Instructions
4.1 Panel Control Buttons
4.1.1 Acknowledge/Step
The first press of the Acknowledge/Step key silences the piezo sounder, changes flashing LEDs to
steady and also changes the status field on the LCD display from capital letters to small letters
(TROUBL to Troubl). When the piezo is silenced, an acknowledge message is sent to the printer
and the history file. Acknowledge also sends a silence piezo command to the optional annunciators
connected to the FACP. The Acknowledge key will have no effect on the Notification Appliance
Circuits.
When more than one event exists, the first press of the Acknowledge/Step key functions as
described in the preceding paragraph. Subsequent pressing of the key steps through each active
event.

4.1.2 Alarm Silenced
The Alarm Silenced key performs the same functions as Acknowledge/Step except it will not step
through each event when multiple events are present at the panel. If an alarm exists, the Alarm
Silenced key turns off all silenceable NACs (Notification Appliance Circuits) and causes the Alarm
Silenced LED to turn on. It also sends an ‘alarm silenced’ message to the printer, history file and
optional annunciators. A subsequent new alarm will resound the system NACs. The Alarm
Silenced LED is turned off by pressing the Reset key, the Drill key or subsequent activation of the
NACs.
Note that if Silence Inhibit has been enabled, NACs cannot be silenced for one minute following
initiation of an alarm.

4.1.3 Drill/Hold 2 Sec
When the Drill key is held for a minimum of two seconds (time required to prevent accidental activations), the FACP turns on all NAC outputs and turns off the Alarm Silenced LED if it was previously on. The EVAC IN SYSTEM message is shown on the LCD display. The same message is sent
to the printer and history file. The Alarm Silence key can be used to turn off all silenceable NAC
outputs following activation by the Drill key.

4.1.4 Reset
Pressing and releasing the Reset key turns off all NACs, temporarily turns off resettable power to 4wire detectors, causes a RESET IN SYSTEM message to be displayed on the LCD and sends the
same message to the printer and history file. It also performs a lamp test by turning on all LEDs,
piezo sounder and LCD display segments after the Reset key is released. Any alarm or trouble that
exists after a reset will resound the system.
Note that if Silence Inhibit has been enabled, the FACP cannot be reset for one minute following
initiation of an alarm.

4.2 LED Indicators
The five LED indicators, which are located on the front panel, operate as follows:
AC Power
This is a green LED which illuminates if AC power is applied to the FACP. A loss of AC power
will turn off this LED

MS-5UD & MS-10UD Series Manual — P/N 52626:C6 1/15/2015

Normal Operation

Operating Instructions

Fire Alarm
This red LED flashes when one or more alarms occur. It illuminates steady when the Acknowledge/Step or Alarm Silence key is pressed. The Fire Alarm LED turns off when the Reset key is
pressed. The LED will remain off if all alarms have been cleared.
Supervisory
This is a yellow LED that flashes when one or more supervisory conditions occur, such as a sprinkler valve tamper condition. It illuminates steady when the Acknowledge/Step or Alarm Silence
key is pressed. It turns off when the Reset key is pressed and remains off if all supervisory alarms
have been cleared.
Trouble
This is a yellow LED that flashes when one or more trouble conditions occur. It stays on steady
when the Acknowledge/Step or Alarm Silence key is pressed. The LED turns off when all trouble
conditions are cleared. This LED will also illuminate if the microprocessor watchdog circuit is
activated.
Alarm Silenced
This is a yellow LED that turns on after the Alarm Silence key is pressed while an alarm condition
exists. It turns off when the Drill or Reset key is pressed.

4.3 Normal Operation
With no alarms or troubles in the system, the display message is System All Normal along with the
current time and date as shown below. To set the time and date, refer to the appropriate section in
this manual.
SYSTEM ALL NORMAL
10:00A 070707

The FACP performs the following functions at regular intervals in Normal mode:
 Monitors AC input voltage and battery voltage
 Monitors and reports status option cards and control panel
 Refreshes LCD display and updates time
 Scans control panel keypad for key presses
 Tests memory
 Updates and reads all communications busses (EIA-485, etc.)
 i3 smoke detectors will be polled for maintenance and freeze conditions on initial entry into

Normal mode. Thereafter, each device will be polled every hour for freeze and every four
hours for maintenance conditions

NOTE: To ensure that the system is functioning properly, the FACP will perform a freeze check
five minutes after the panel is reset, followed by a maintenance check. If there is no freeze or
maintenance condition, the panel will continue to monitor for freeze conditions every hour and
maintenance conditions every four hours.

4.4 Trouble Operation
With no alarms in the system, the detection of a trouble will cause the following:
•

The piezo to pulse 1 second On and 1 second Off

•

The system Trouble LED to flash one second On and one second Off

•

The same message, along with the time and date, is sent to the optional printer and the history
buffer.

•

Communicate the trouble conditions to the Central Station

•

Terminate upload or download communications

Note that specific troubles will initiate additional actions; for example, loss of AC power will turn
off the AC Power LED, etc.
Input Zone
For Input Zones, the following is a typical message that could appear on the LCD display for a
device trouble:
TROUBL PULL STATION

ZONE 10 OPEN FAULT
10:00A 100913

The information displayed in the above example provides the following information:
•

First line in display:
– The type of event; in this example OPEN indicating a circuit trouble
– Device type identifier; in this example, PULL STATION indicates a manual device. Other
device type identifiers which can be displayed include SMOKE for Smoke Detector, HEAT
for Heat Detector, etc.

•

Second line in display:
– ; refers to the user programmed adjective descriptor from library list resident in the
control panel or custom entry via PC.
– ; refers to the user programmed noun descriptor from library list resident in the
control panel or custom entry via PC.

•

Third line in display indicates Zone and the fault condition. Other possible troubles include:
 OPEN - indicating an open circuit
 DIRTY - maintenance alert indicating that an i3 detector is near but below the allowed alarm

limit and is in need of maintenance before the performance is compromised

•

Fourth line in display:
– Time; the current time in this example is 10:00A which represents 10:00 AM
– Date; the current month, day and year in this example is 10 for October, 09 for the 9th day of
the month and 13 for the year 2013

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.

Detector Functions

Operating Instructions

4.12 Detector Functions
Maintenance Alert
i3 smoke detectors will be polled for maintenance and freeze conditions on initial entry into Normal
mode. Thereafter, each device will be polled every hour for freeze and every four hours for maintenance conditions All alarm and system trouble conditions are annunciated on the control panel’s
LCD.
NOTE: To ensure that the system is functioning properly, the FACP will perform a freeze check
five minutes after the panel is reset, followed by a maintenance check. If there is no freeze or
maintenance condition, the panel will continue to monitor for freeze conditions every hour and
maintenance conditions every four hours.

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.

4.13 Time Functions: Real-Time Clock
The FACP 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
reprogrammed.

4.14 Coded Operation
The 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:

Steady output with no pulsing

•

March Time:

Pulses at 120 ppm (pulses per minute)

•

Temporal Code:

Pulses at ½ second On, ½ second Off, ½ second On, ½
second Off, ½ second On, 1½ second Off

•

California Code:

10 seconds On, 5 seconds Off

•

Two-Stage:

Pulses at 20 ppm (pulses per minute) for 3 or 5 minutes
and then changes to Temporal

4.15 Presignal
Presignal option programs an initiating device to delay the activation of NACs while allowing
visual verification by a person. Once a detector 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.
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 NACs. 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 zone
 annunciators (if enabled) will sound the local piezo, and pulse the alarm LED and zone LED

104

MS-5UD & MS-10UD Series Manual — P/N 52626:C6 1/15/2015

Positive Alarm Sequence

Operating Instructions
 outputs (NACs) 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 operation requires the approval of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction.

4.16 Positive Alarm Sequence
PAS (Positive Alarm Sequence) option will program a smoke detector to delay panel activation
(including alarm relay and communicator) for a period of 15 seconds.
When a detector 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 NACs.
The events which occur upon PAS activation are as follows:
 onboard piezo sounds immediately
 control panel LCD display will indicate a PAS event and the active zone
 annunciators (if enabled) will sound the local piezo, and pulse the alarm LED and zone LED
 outputs (NACs) 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 operation requires the approval of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction.

4.17 Special System Timers
4.17.1 Silence Inhibit Timer
This option, if selected, prevents the Alarm Silenced and Reset keys from functioning for 60 seconds following an alarm. A new alarm during the initial 60 second period will not cause the timer
to restart with a new 60 seconds. Silence Inhibit operation requires the approval of the local
Authority Having Jurisdiction.

4.17.2 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.

4.17.3 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.

MS-5UD & MS-10UD Series Manual — P/N 52626:C6 1/15/2015

105

Walktest

Operating Instructions

Note that if Trouble Reminder feature is not selected and the trouble is not cleared within 24 hours,
the piezo will resound, indicating that the trouble condition still exists.

4.17.4 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.

4.17.5 Alarm Verification (None or One Minute)
If alarm verification is selected, a smoke detector activation will cause the FACP to reset the detector by removing power for 6 seconds. Power is reapplied and a 17 second retard period begins
which allows all detectors to stabilize. If no other detectors alarm, there will be no alarm indication
at the FACP during the 23 second Reset/Retard period. A Confirmation period of 60 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
zone alarms any time during the first detector's Retard & Confirmation period, the panel will immediately activate all appropriate outputs and indicate the alarm condition at the FACP. If no additional detector alarms occur within 83 seconds of the first alarm (23 second Reset/Retard plus 60
second Confirmation), the timer resets and the panel is ready to verify any new detector alarms
which may occur.

4.18 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. In addition, i3 smoke detectors will enter their own test mode causing their LEDs
to flash twice every five seconds (refer to i3 specification document).
Alarm/Shorted Condition
When in audible Walktest, the panel responds to each new alarm and activates the NACs for four
seconds. 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
IDCs and all main circuit board NACs are monitored for fault conditions during Walktest mode.
When an open condition occurs on an IDC, the FACP will activate all enabled NACs during an
audible Walktest and remain activated until the open condition is cleared.
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.
NOTE: In Walktest, a NAC open or short fault will not cause the NACs to activate.

4.19 Read Status

Section 5: Central Station Communications
The control panel transmits zone and system status reports to Central Stations via the public
switched telephone network. Two supervised telephone line connections are made to interface the
control panel to the telephone lines. Two optional 7 foot telephone cords are available for this purpose and can be purchased separately.
The control panel supervises both telephone lines for proper voltage. A delay of two minutes will
occur before a fault in either phone line connection is reported as a trouble. When a fault is
detected, an audible trouble signal will sound, the LCD display will indicate the phone line trouble
and the trouble condition will be reported to the Central Station over the remaining operational
phone line.
The control panel comes with line seizure capability provided for both the primary and secondary
telephone line interfaces. Any time that the control panel needs to make a call to a Central Station,
line seizure will disconnect any local premises phones sharing the same telephone line.
All transmissions to the Central Stations will be sent over the primary phone line. In the event of
noisy phone lines, transmissions will be sent over the backup secondary phone line.
Two phone numbers must be programmed, the primary Central Station phone number and the secondary Central Station phone number. All system reports will be transmitted to the primary Central
Station phone number. Reports will automatically be sent to the secondary Central Station phone
number if attempts to transmits to the primary Central Station phone number are unsuccessful. If
10 total attempts to communicate are unsuccessful, a Communicator Failure report will be displayed. Note that as an option, all reports may also be sent to the secondary Central Station phone
number.
The FACP meets NFPA 72 National Fire Code reporting requirements for: (a) the type of signal, (b)
condition and (c) location of the reporting premises. The general priority reporting structure is:

network or locally using a USB cable. Any personal computer with Windows® XP or later, with a
2400 baud compatible modem or USB port and Upload/Download software PS-Tools on the CD
ROM P/N PK-CD, may serve as a Service Terminal. This allows download of the entire program
or upload of the entire program, history file, walktest data, current status, system voltages, time and
date.
Upload/Download Preparation
The PK-CD must be placed into the personal computer CD drive and the instructions that come
with it must be followed to install the PS-Tools utility onto the computer. Once that is done, the
PS-Tools utility must be set up to communicate using either a USB serial port or a dial-up modem.
For local USB programming, a standard male-A to male-B USB cable must be connected from the
PC’s USB port to the fire panel’s USB port (J11).
For remote modem programming, you must have the fire panel’s primary line telephone number
entered in the PS-Tools site information screens for that site. You must also change the fire panel’s
ring count from zero (the default) to answer after at least one ring.
Important: Modification of FACP programming requires that the panel be enabled for download
(refer to “Remote Download” on page 116). Remote interrogation of panel programming, history
logs, detector status, etc., is possible without enabling the remote download option.
CAUTION: After successfully downloading a program, make certain to perform the following
steps:
1.

Print out all programmed data via Print Mode or manually view programmed entries and
compare to intended program data

Test all affected panel operations

Immediately correct any problems found

6.1 Remote Download
NFPA 72 requirements state that a technician must be on-site and at the control panel whenever the
Programming Utility is used to download any information to the FACP. This applies to local and
remote programming. For this reason, a new option has been added to the FACP which allows an
individual at the FACP to enter a password and either enable the proprietary mode where downloading will be allowed at any time or access a specific password protected screen where downloading will be allowed regardless of the current proprietary setting. The Remote Download option
can be selected from the main menu screen as shown below:
1=READ STATUS MODE
2=PROGRAMMING MODE
3=FUTURE USE
4=REMOTE DOWNLOAD

Pressing 4 for Remote Download while viewing the main menu will cause the following screen to
be displayed:
REMOTE DOWNLOAD
ENTER PASSWORD


The Remote Download password (default 00000) must be entered to access the Remote Download
feature. Note that the default password can be changed using the Password Change option (refer to
“Password Change” on page 93).

Entering the correct password will cause the following screen to be displayed:
REMOTE DOWNLOAD
1=PROPRIETARY
NO
2=ACCEPT DOWNLOAD

Pressing 1 for Proprietary No (factory default setting), while viewing the Remote Download
screen, will cause the display to toggle from Proprietary No to Proprietary Yes. Each press of the 1
key will cause the display to toggle between Proprietary No and Proprietary Yes. Selecting Proprietary Yes will program the FACP to allow remote programming downloads from the programming
utility at all times without the need to access the Remote Download screen.
Pressing 2 for Accept Download will cause the following screen to be displayed:
ALLOWING DOWNLOADS
IF YOU EXIT THIS
SCREEN DOWNLOADS
WILL BE DISABLED!

While this screen is displayed, remote programming downloads are allowed regardless of the Proprietary setting. Exiting this screen will disable any further downloads to the FACP. Also, following 30 minutes of inactivity (including up/downloading), the Accept Download screen will timeout, causing the display to return to the System All Normal screen.

6.2 Transferring a Program
The first time that the control panel is contacted, a secret code is loaded in by a Service Terminal.
Future upload or download requests cause verification of the secret code by the control panel
before processing of data is allowed. If the secret code is not verified, the control panel will terminate the request.
While the control panel is communicating with the remote Service Terminal, one of the DACT’s
red phone line active LEDs and the green Kissoff LED will remain on steady.
In order to download the panel (whether initiated at the jobsite or remotely), the following must be
true:
 The control panel must be in the Normal Mode of operation. Downloading is not possible if

the panel is in any other mode

 There cannot be any active communications ongoing with a Central Station receiver
 All active events must be successfully 'kissed-off' by the Central Station(s). The

communicator must be in a standby state with no new information waiting to be transmitted
to a Central Station

6.2.1 Security Features
Upload and download with the control panel have been carefully designed to include key security
features to ensure proper functionality. Any time a transfer is initiated, the control panel and the
Service Terminal will communicate and transfer data before contacting a Central Station. When
the data transfers are completed and the control panel disconnects from the Service Terminal, the
control panel will call the Central Station and report one of the following conditions:
•

Upload/download request received

•

Upload and/or download request successful

•

Upload/download failed

The key features are listed and explained in the following sections.

Local/Remote Site Upload/Download

Transferring a Program

Secret Code Verification
A secret code is stored in the control panel by a Service Terminal to prevent unauthorized access.
The secret code is created at the Service Terminal by the master user and cannot be viewed or
changed by anyone other than a master user. Viewing of the secret code is prohibited at the control
panel. Prior to allowing an upload or download of data, the control panel will verify the secret code
transmitted by the Service Terminal.
Time-out at Control Panel
Upon answering an incoming (modem) call on the primary Central Station phone line, the control
panel will listen for a modem connection signal. If this signal is not received within 50 seconds, the
control panel will disconnect the call. Upon successful connection (secret code verified), if no
communication occurs within 30 minutes, the panel will disconnect the call. Upon time-out, transfer activity will be reported to the Central Station (if enabled) and the connection will be terminated.
Error Checking
As each block of data is received by the control panel, it is checked for accuracy. If an error is
detected, the block is retransmitted until correct, up to a maximum of four times. If the Secret Code
is not verified and four errors occur, the call is disconnected and the report that the upload/download was not successful is called to the Central Station(s).
Central Station Data Protection
The primary and secondary Central Station phone numbers, communications format, account code,
test time and programmable event codes are vital Central Station information. These blocks of data
are protected from partial programming due to faulty phone connections, line noise and other
errors. This prevents the panel from being confused due to a wrong phone number, account code,
test time and most critical formatting errors.

Section 7: Power Supply Calculations
7.1 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

Calculating the power supply load current for non-fire and fire alarm conditions and
calculating the secondary (battery) load

Calculating the size of batteries required to support the system if an AC power loss occurs

Selecting the proper batteries for your system

7.2 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 7.1, to determine the total amount of current, in AC amperes (A), that must be supplied
to the system.

Calculating the System Current Draw

Power Supply Calculations

7.3 Calculating the System Current Draw
7.3.1 Overview
The control panel must be able to power all internal and external devices continuously during the
non-fire alarm condition. To calculate the non-fire alarm load on the system power supply when
primary power is applied, use Calculation Column 1 in Table 7.3 on page 121. The control panel
must support a larger load current during a fire alarm condition. To calculate the fire alarm load on
the power supply, use Calculation Column 2 in Table 7.3 on page 121. The secondary power
source (batteries) must be able to power the system during a primary power loss. To calculate the
non-fire alarm load on the secondary power source, use Calculation Column 3 in Table 7.3 on page
121.
When calculating current draw and the battery size, note the following:
•

‘Primary’ refers to the main power source for the control panel

•

‘Secondary’ refers to the control panel’s backup batteries

•

All currents are given in amperes (A). Section 7.2 shows how to convert milliamperes and
microamperes to full amperes.

To convert...
Milliamperes (mA) to
amperes (A)
Microamperes (µA) to
amperes (A)

Multiply
mA x 0.001

µA x 0.000001

Example
3 mA x 0.001 = 0.003A
300 µA x 0.000001 = 0.0003 A

Table 7.2 Converting to Full Amperes

7.3.2 How to Use Table 7.3 on page 121 to Calculate System
Current Draw
Use Table 7.3 on page 121 to calculate current draws as follows:
1.

Enter the quantity of devices in all three columns

Enter the current draw where required. Refer to the Device Compatibility Document for
compatible devices and their current draw

Calculate the current draws for each in all columns

Sum the total current for each column

Copy the totals from Column 2 and Column 3 to Table 7.4 on page 122

Following are the types of current that can be entered into Table 7.3 on page 121:
 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 non-fire alarm

condition during a loss of AC power.
