Installation Precautions

- Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term relia

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 72-1993 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 0-49O C/
32-120O F and at a relative humidity of 85% RH (non-condensing)
at 30O C/86O 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 nominal room temperature of 15-27O C/
60-80O F.

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.
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.

Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating device loops.
Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% I.R. drop from the
specified device voltage.

Fire Alarm System Limitations
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.
Any fire alarm system may fail for a variety of reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot
reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in walls, or 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. Furthermore, all types of smoke detectors both ionization and photoelectric types, have sensing limitations. No type of smoke detector can sense every kind of fire
caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in
bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of
flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children
playing with matches, or arson.
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.

While installing a fire alarm system may make lower insurance
rates possible, it is not a substitute for fire insurance!
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.
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.
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.
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
premise to a central monitoring station may be out of service or
temporarily disabled.
The most common cause of fire alarm malfunctions, however,
is inadequate maintenance. All devices and system wiring
should be tested and maintained by professional fire alarm
installers following written procedures supplies with each
device. System inspection and testing should be scheduled
monthly or as required by National and/or local fire codes.
Adequate written records of all inspections should be kept.

Product Description

CHAPTER 1

Product Description

The CMP-2401B is a one zone FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel) and the CMP-2402B is a two zone FACP. This
manual will use the term FACP to refer to both the CMP-2401B and CMP-2402B where features are identical. These
control panels provide reliable fire signaling protection for small to medium sized commercial, industrial and institutional buildings. The FACPs use conventional input devices such as two-wire smoke detectors, four-wire smoke
detectors, pull stations, waterflow devices and other normally-open contact devices. Outputs include one NAC (Notification Appliance Circuit) and 24 volt resettable power. The FACP also supervises all wiring, AC voltage and battery level.
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 and sound the piezo at the FACP, activate the FACP alarm
relay and operate an optional module used to notify a remote station or initiate a supplementary control function.

before servicing. The panel and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting modules,
interconnecting cables or wiring while this unit is energized.
Primary Power Source (AC) and Earth Ground Connections
AC power connections are made inside the control panel cabinet. The AC input circuit is limited by fuse F2 (2 amp,
3AG Slow Blow). The primary power source for the FACP is 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 0.5 amps. Run a pair of wires (with
ground conductor) from the protected premises main breaker box to TB3 of the main circuit board. As per the
National and Canadian Electric Code, use 14 AWG (2.00 mm2, 1.6 mm O.D.) or heavier gauge wire with 600V insulation. No other equipment may be connected to this circuit. In addition, this circuit must be provided with overcurrent protection and may not contain any power disconnect devices. A separate Earth Ground connection must be
made to ensure proper panel operation and lightning and transient protection. Connect the Earth Ground wire [minimum 14 AWG (2.00 mm2)] to the grounding stud on the backbox. Do not use conduit for the Earth Ground connection since this does not provide reliable protection.
Secondary Power Source (Batteries)
Observe polarity when connecting the battery. Connect the battery cable to J3 on the main circuit board using the
plug-in connector and cable provided. The battery charger is current-limited and capable of recharging sealed lead
acid type batteries. The charger shuts off when the system is in alarm. See Battery Calculations for calculation of the
correct battery rating.

WARNING: Battery contains sulfuric acid which can cause severe burns to the skin and eyes and can destroy fabrics.
If contact is made with sulfuric acid, immediately flush the skin or eyes with water for 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.

Programming Options

CHAPTER 3

Programming Options

This chapter describes the programming options available by cutting resistors on the FACP main circuit board.
Options should be selected (resistors cut if necessary) prior to applying power to the control panel.

3.1

Earth Ground Fault Detection

The FACP is factory configured to automatically detect ground fault conditions. A ground fault occurs when a low
resistance is detected between an FACP circuit and earth ground. This condition will cause the System Trouble LED
and Ground Fault LED to turn on and the piezo sounder to pulse.
The Ground Fault Detection circuit can be disabled by cutting resistor R72 on the main circuit board. Refer to the
local codes and consult the local Authority Having Jurisdiction before disabling the Ground Fault Detection circuit.

Periodic Testing and Maintenance

CHAPTER 4

Periodic Testing and Maintenance

To ensure proper and reliable operation, it is recommended that system inspection and testing be scheduled monthly
or as required by national and/or local fire codes. Testing should be done by a qualified service representative if a
malfunction is encountered.
Before Testing:
1. Notify the fire department and/or central alarm receiving station if an alarm condition will be transmitted.
2.

Notify the facility personnel of a test so that alarm sounding devices are ignored during the test period.

When necessary, activation of notification appliances can be prevented by using the Signal Silence switch to
silence the zone.

Testing:
1. Activate a zone via an alarm initiating device and check that active notification appliances sound and the alarm
LED lights. Reset the system and repeat the procedure for each zone*.
2.

Momentarily activate the following switches (one at a time) and check for a trouble signal:
✓

Reset (all LEDs should illuminate for Lamp Test)

✓

Signal Silence

Depress the Trouble Silence switch and check for an intermittent audible signal. Return the Trouble Silence
switch to the normal position.

Momentarily open the following circuits one at a time and check for a trouble signal:

✓

Notification Appliance (bell) Circuit

✓

Initiating Device Circuit Zone 1

✓

Initiating Device Circuit Zone 2 (CMP-2402B only)

If new batteries were installed, wait 48 hours before completing this step. Remove AC power, activate a zone
and check that:
✓

The Alarm LED lights

✓

All active notification appliances sound
Measure battery voltage while the notification appliances are sounding. Replace any battery with
terminal voltage less than 85% of rating. Reapply AC power and press the Reset switch*.

Return all switches to their normal positions. Notify the fire department, central station and/or building
personnel that testing is completed.

*Note that the Reset and Signal Silence switches will not operate for one minute following activation of an alarm.
