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 detec-
tors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices,
and a fire alarm control panel 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.
The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detectors be
located throughout a protected premise following the recommenda-
tions 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 warn-
ing 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 limita-
tions. Detectors that have photoelectronic sensing chambers tend to
detect smoldering fires better than flaming fires, which have little visi-
ble 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 detec-
tor 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
2 Web Server Installation and Operation Manual - P/N: 51990:Rev: A4 01/15/07
bedrooms), smoking in bed, and violent explosions (caused by escap-
ing 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 connec-
tion 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 con-
sumed 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 tempo-
rary 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 main-
tained 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 premise to
a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily dis-
abled. 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 work-
ing 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 mainte-
nance. A maintenance agreement should be arranged through the
local manufacturer's representative. Maintenance should be sched-
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. The control unit and associated equipment may be
damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or intercon-
necting 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 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 sys-
tem operation verified.
This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0°C to 49°C
(32°F to 120°F) and at a relative humidity 93% ± 2% RH (noncon-
densing) 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 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 susceptibil-
ity. Overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended, due to an
increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the
Technical Services 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, ream-
ing, 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 program-
ming 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.

CAB-3/CAB-4 Series Cabinets

Product Installation Document

PN 15330:G 05/23/2005 05-310

1 General
All cabinets are fabricated from 16 gauge steel. The cabinet consists of two basic components: a backbox and a locking
door.
The key-locked door is provided with a pin-type hinge, two keys, and the necessary hardware to mount the door to the
backbox. The backbox has been engineered to provide ease-of-entry for the installer. Knockouts are positioned at
numerous points to let the installer bring conduit into the enclosure easily. Doors can be mounted on the left or right-hand
side. The same hinge works in both configurations, so that this choice can be made in the field. The door opens 180°.
Cabinets are available in four (4) sizes, A through D. The outside dimensions are noted on each enclosure diagram. "A"
size accommodates one chassis, a power supply, and two 26 AH batteries; "D" size accommodates four chassis, a power
supply, and two 26 AH batteries. A trim ring option is available for semi-flush mounting. The CAB-3/CAB-4 Series is
compatible with multiple chassis including the CHS-M2, CHS-M3, CHS-4, CHS-4L, CHS-4N, CHS-BH, CHS-PS, CA-1,
and CA-2. Note: CAB-4 series backboxes and doors are sold separately.

2 Before You Begin

The option of mounting doors in either a left/right hand configuration
will aid in installation and service when two control panels are
CAB door RH.wmf

mounted in a confined area or side by side (as shown). In this manner

CAB door LH.wmf

the doors can be opened "barn door" style, permitting an open work
space. Note that in this type of installation it is necessary to leave
enough space between cabinets to insert a key into the locks on the
door frames.
IMPORTANT: Attach the two hinges and two alignment tabs to the
backbox before any equipment is installed. With chassis installed,
space is very limited.
Display Interface Assembly Note: When the door is left-hand
mounted, the Display Interface Assembly (DIA) dress panel cannot be
opened when the door is at less than a 120° angle to the cabinet. If you are using the left-hand mounting option, be sure
that the door can open at least 120°. This is especially important if the cabinet is to be mounted in a closed area, such as a
closet or utility room.

3 Door Assembly Instructions

Hinges can be either left or right hand mounted. The Illustrations and text depict a left hand mounted example. For a right
hand mounting, simply substitute right for left in the instructions.
1. Insert door hinges (A) into the top and bottom slots of the side to be hinged (in this case the LEFT side). Secure the
hinges to the studs in the backbox with the #8 hex nuts provided. Note that the small hole on the outer tab faces
outward.
2. Thread stud (B) into the BOTTOM hinge first. Thread from the bottom up. Place the grounding "star" washer on the
stud. Place the door's lower corner onto this stud. Placing the door on the lower stud first provides a place for the door
to rest while you complete the assembly.

2 Product Overview
The Network Communications Module (NCM) provides a means for connecting specific Notifier fire alarm control
products to NOTI•FIRE•NET™. There are two types of NCMs available: NCM-W for connecting nodes with
twisted-pair wire, and NCM-F for connecting nodes with fiber-optic cable.
In most applications, one NCM is required per NOTI•FIRE•NET™ node (including fire alarm control panels and
network annunciators) . Even though the NCM has two NUP ports, only one may be connected to a NOTI•FIRE•NET™.
node. Except in some DVC applications, do not connect two NCMs via NUP ports (aka “NUP to NUP”).
For instructions on the additional capabilities available with the DVC, refer to the DVC Manual.
• Input power requirements: 24 VDC , 0.11 amps, regulated, power-limited compatible power supply UL/ULC listed
for fire protective signalling use.
• Communications circuit requirements: Refer to the NOTI•FIRE•NET™ Manual (Network Version 4.0 and Higher)

4.4.1 Auto Detect Points on All Panels

This option will auto detect AFP1010/AM2020 points on NFN network.
How Points Become Visible To The Web Server
These are the ways a point becomes visible to the Web Server:
• With Onyx series panels, points are detected automatically when the Web Server is connected
to the network on which those panels reside. Therefore, point detection for ONYX series
panels requires no user action.
• With AFP1010/AM2020 panels, points are only detected when a user clicks on the AutoDetect
menu item either under the individual AFP1010/AM2020 panel's menu, or under System
Administration. Although the feature is called Auto Detect, this requires the user action of
clicking on the Auto Detect command.
• With AFP-300/400 panels, points are only detected when they generate an event, which can
then be seen by the Web Server; therefore, the only way to add points connected to an AFP-
300/400 panel is to manually generate an event for each point.

Web Server Installation and Operation Manual - P/N: 51990:Rev: A4 01/15/07 33

Web Server Operation System Administration

Events from points that have not been Auto Detected will be shown in the Multiple Events list. In
other words, events coming from a classic panel will be logged even if the points themselves did
not previously appear in the hierarchy list at the left of the Web Server screen.

NOTE: AFP-200 points do not get Auto Detected, and they will not be displayed in the hierarchy list on
the left. However, events from an AFP-200 panel and/or point will come into the Multiple Event List and
can generate an E-mail.

NOTE: Only administrators have security access to the auto detect feature.

Selecting this option will

navigate to the corresponding
screen at the right, the Auto
Point Detect Verification
screen. This screen requests
that the administrator verify
the auto discover command,
as the process can be time-
consuming, depending on the
size of the entire system.

4.4.5 Node Mapping

Selecting System Administration, Node Mapping allows the user to map nodes that are active on
the NFN network.

NOTE: The default value for node status is Unmapped.

Node Mapping Links

Figure 4.12 Node Mapping

Auto Detect selection will list all online nodes on the network as “Mapped” and all offline nodes on
the network as “Unmapped”. When Auto Detect or Change Settings are clicked network data will
be accessed to populate a node’s field, therefore, the display will refresh collapsing the Menu
navigation tree.
Change Settings is used to make individual node changes. Do so by selecting the drop-down menu,
making a choice, and then clicking on Change Settings to save the modifications. Consider making
all the individual node mapping decisions on the page before selecting Change Settings because
each time you select Change Settings you will have to expand the Menu navigation tree to return to
a node page.
If a node is Unmapped, the Web Server will not display events from that node. If a new node is
installed; you must auto detect or individually map it before it’s properties or events will be
displayed.
Node Status Values:
• Online - The node was auto detected by the NFN Web Browser, but it will not show up in the
Menu at the left, nor will events be displayed, until it is mapped.
• Offline - There is no device detected at that node address. No events will be reported.
• Mapped - If the node is online, it will show up in the Menu, and events will be displayed in the
browser.
• Unmapped - The default value; the node is either online with no event reporting, or there is no
device detected at that node address. No events or properties will be displayed for unmapped
nodes.
