CONTROL PANELSFIRESHIELDFIRESHIELDFIRESHIELDFIRESHIELDFIRESHIELD

The FireShield family of conventional panels and accessories consists of threepanels, a DACT/dialer, serial remote annunciators and relays, city tie modules andreverse polarity modules. FireShield’s ingenious initiating device circuits (IDCs) canbe programmed for one of eight configurations. Several of these configurationsallow the use of one zone to do the work of two. Verified detection circuits allowdetectors and contact devices (such as pull stations) to be installed on the samezone. Combination circuits allow waterflow switches and their associated valvetamper switches to be connected on a common two-wire IDC.

FireShield panels are available in three sizes and can be ordered with or withoutthe optional DACT:

FS302 – The three-zone FS302 is ideal for use as a sprinkler supervisorypanel. It includes three Class B IDCs and two Class B NACs.FS502 – Factory configured with five Class B IDCs and two Class B NACs.FS1004 – Factory configured with 10 Class B IDCs and four Class B NACs.

On the FS502 and FS104, IDCs or NACs can be paired to form single Class Acircuits.

All panels are available in a red or gray finish.

Following Page:Following Page:Following Page:Following Page:Following Page:The optional DACT/Dialer is a multifunction module that provides communica-tions, modem capability, and LCD display functions. Its primary function is as aDigital Alarm Communicator Transmitter (DACT).

The FSRSI is ideal for common system annunciation. It includes five LEDs and alocal silence/lamp test switch.

The FSRZI-A is used to indicate zones in the alarm state. It contains five red LEDs.The panel can support two modules programmed for each selection.

The Remote Relay Module (FSRRM) can be configured to function in either a zonerelay mode or a common system mode.

EST’s QS4 QuickStart life safety control panel provides conventional and intelligentaddressable circuits in a single intelligent control panel. Supporting up to 1,000intelligent detectors and modules, QS4 takes full advantage of EST’s exclusiveSignature Series technology, which provides electronic addressing, automatic devicemapping, environmental compensation, and true multisensor detection. As a hybridsystem, QS4 combines support for four Signature addressable circuits (1000addressable points) along with up to 48 conventional Class B or a combination of 40Class A and Class B initiating circuits. Compatible with either two- or four-wiredetectors, conventional detectors. QuickStart’s design leaves plenty of room for systemexpansion. Option cards include a dialer, auxiliary relays, and additional systemcapacity. The QS4 also supports as many as eight remote annunciators and up to 60programmable front panel switches with dual LEDs for system control and display.

EST3 is a modular system uniquely designed toeasily meet the needs of standalone single nodesystems or multimode networks. Fire alarm,security, access control and audio functions usethe same fundamental components, simplifyingsystem layouts.

EST3 is a superbly adaptable life safety system,lending itself to medium and large buildingapplications. Cabinets are available with roomfor system batteries up to 65 Amp hours. With EST3, one 24-volt battery supports upto four power supplies. Each supply will support up to 7 Amp load. With four supplies,28 Amps of current is available — all backed up by a common battery.

EST3 operates on a multi priority peer-to-peer token ring network. The multi-prioritytoken ring gives EST3 exceptional response. EST3 token ring network configurationalso permits vast distances between nodes. The allowable distance between nodes on#18 AWG (0.75mm2) is 5,000 ft (1,523 m). With 64 nodes supported on a network,the total network length is in excess of 300,000 ft (91,400 m), or nearly 60 miles! Asingle node supports up to 10 Signature loop controllers with 250 devices per loop,(2,500 points total per node, 160,000 points per network).

Taking full advantage of digital technology, up to eight channels of audio sources canbe sent over a single twisted pair of wires between nodes. Coupling the inherentreliability and performance of zoned amplifiers with EST3 simplified user interfacesmakes audio system design and operation both easy and dependable.

EST3 is the right choice for any medium to large application. Its multiplex functionsare second to none in the industry today.

FireWorks is a family of software and hardware options designed to work in concertwith EST life safety and property protection systems. FireWorks provides a simple userinterface, taking what could be an overwhelmingly large amount of information andpresenting it in an easy-to-understand format. FireWorks does this by dividing majorsystem functions into easy-to-manage quadrants. These quadrants make the systemvery intuitive to use because information is presented logically. To further enhanceusability, FireWorks is event driven. This greatly increases the user’s ability to deal withsystem events by eliminating the confusion sometimes experienced when systemspresent all information at once. FireWorks automatically prioritizes the events for theuser in an Event Quadrant. Here the highest priority event is displayed first, and thelowest priority event is displayed last. This allows the user to quickly determine whichevents warrant the most immediate attention.

Booster PowerSupply

The Remote Booster Power Supply is a self-contained 24 Vdc power supply designed toaugment fire alarm audible and visual power requirements. The booster contains allof the necessary circuits to monitor and charge batteries, control and supervise fourClass B or two Class A NAC circuits and monitor two controlling inputs from externalsources. Simple switch selection provides a wide variety of operational configurations.Each remote booster power supply is supplied with its own enclosure providing amplespace for additional interface modules and battery compartment. The BPS is availablein either a 6.5 or 10 amp version @ 24 Vdc. The Remote Booster Power Supplyprovides additional power for audible and visual devices when constrained by systemcapacity or site application. Fault conditions detected by the BPS will open the mainpanel’s NAC. This initiates a trouble condition and eliminates the need to wire aseparate trouble contact back to the controlpanel. During alarm condition, detected faultsare overridden and the main panel’s defaultconfiguration is restored. The BPS’s defaultoutput configuration is continuous 24 Vdc onall NACs. This output is typicallyused to drive visual BPSnotification appliance circuits.

Genesis (wall mount) Chimes, Chime-strobes: GC-HVDM

The Genesis line of signals are the smallest, mostcompact audible-visible emergency signaling devices inthe world. Speaker-strobes feature 15, 30, 75 or 110candela output, selectable with a conveniently-locatedswitch on the bottom of the device. All Genesis strobesself-synchronize when installed with the Genesis SignalMaster or SIGA-CC1S module.

Genesis chimes automatically pulse at 60 strokes per minute, when steady (non-stroked) voltage is applied, or may be field-configured for temporal output. Wheninstalled with a GIM Signal Master Module, the chime may also be field-configured forcoded operation, which enables the chime output to match the rate that voltage isapplied to the circuit. Peak output level is 79 dBA (peak). The chime may be set for lowdB output with a jumper cut that reduces sound output by about 5 dB.

SIGA-CR Control Relay, SIGA-CRR Polarity Reversal Relay Modules

The SIGA-CR Control Relay Module provides a Form “C” dry relay contact to controlexternal appliances such as door closers, fans, dampers etc. This device does not providesupervision of the state of the relay contact. Instead, the on-board microprocessor ensuresthat the relay is in the proper ON/OFF state. Upon command from the loop controller,the relay activates the normally open or normally-closed contact.The SIGA-CRR Polarity Reversal Relay Module provides a Form “C” dry relay contact topower and activate a series of SIGA-AB4 Audible Sounder Bases. Upon command fromthe Signature loop controller, the SIGA-CRR reverses the polarity of its 24 Vdc output,thus activating all Sounder Bases on the data loop.

25 Vrms or 70 Vrms NAC wire length

The maximum allowable wire length is the farthest distance that a pair of wires canextend from the amplifier to the last speaker on the notification appliance circuitwithout losing more than 0.5 dB of signal. Calculating the maximum allowable wirelength using this method ensures that each speaker operates at its full potential.

Several factors influence the maximum allowable wire length: • Wire size • Output signal level of the amplifier driving the circuit • Number of speakers installed on the circuit

To calculate the maximum allowable wire length for a 0.5 dB loss, use the followingformula:

where:• Amplifier output is the signal level in Vrms supplied by the amplifier

driving the circuit • Circuit load is the total watts required by the audio circuit • Wire resistance is the resistance rating of the wire per 1000 ft pair, see Table.

For example, the maximum allowable wire length for an audio circuit consisting of a40 W, 25 Vrms amplifier driving thirty 1-watt speakers, using 18-guage wire would be95 ft.

Max. length =59.25 x Amplifier Output²

Wire Resistance x Circuit Load

B-1 and B-2 gives the maximum allowable wire lengths for various wire sizes andloads. Use B-1 when designing circuits for amplifiers set for 25 Vrms output. Use B-2when designing circuits for amplifiers set for a 70 Vrms output.

94.95 = 59.25 x 2513 x 13

Circuit resistance and capacitance determines the maximum length of a Signaturedata circuit. Circuit resistance affects the wire length of the longest circuit branch.Circuit capacitance affects the total amount of wire that can be used on the circuit.Note: The design of the Signature data circuit must not exceed either of the twomeasurements.

There are no restrictions placed on the wiring used for the Signature data circuit.Longer wire runs may be obtained using standard (non-twisted, non-shielded) wirepairs.

Several factors influence the maximum allowable branch length: • Wire gauge and type • Number of Signature detectors and modules installed on the branch • Number of SIGA-UMs configured for 2-wire smoke detectors installed on the

branch

Determining the maximum allowable branch length

The maximum branch length is the wire distance measured from the Signaturecontroller module to the last device on the longest circuit path as shown on the nextpage.

To determine the maximum allowable length of a Signature data circuit branch:1. Identify the device located farthest from the Signature controller.2. Determine the number of Signature detectors, modules, and SIGA-UMs

configured for 2-wire smokes that lie on the same conductive path between thedevice identified in step 1 and the Signature controller.

3. Calculate the number of detector and module addresses. Some Signature modulesrequire two addresses.

4. Determine the size of the wire used to construct the circuit.5. Find the maximum allowable wire distance for the longest branch in the lookup

tables as follows:If no SIGA-UMs are installed, use Table C-2If 1–5 SIGA-UMs are installed, use Table C-3If 6–10 SIGA-UMs are installed, use Table C-4If 11–15 SIGA-UMs are installed, use Table C-5

REFERENCE SECTION

OverviewCumulative data network capacitance refers to the total capacitance of all copper wireused for the data riser. The cumulative capacitance of data networks must be withincertain limits to permit stable network communications. Audio networks are notaffected by cumulative capacitance, due to the method of retransmitting data. Theaudio network retransmits data byte-by-byte, so the individual bit times of a byte arerestored at each node in the network. The data network retransmits data bit-by-bit.This method of retransmitting data restores the amplitude of a bit at each node, butany distortions in bit timing are passed through to the next node. Data networkcommunication faults begin to occur at about 23% distortion of bit timing.Cumulative data network capacitance induces bit timing distortion.

A fiber link in a data network electrically isolates two nodes, but distortions in bittiming are not restored by the fiber segment. Distortions in bit timing are passedthrough the fiber to the next node. The bit transition time of model 3-FIB fiber cards isfast enough to be neglected in determining the maximum wire length that can be usedin the data network.

Data network specificationsHere are the maximum allowed values between any three nodes of a network.• Resistance: 90 ohms • Distance: 5,000 feet• Capacitance: 0.3 microfarads

The following table lists the maximum cumulative capacitance for the entire datanetwork given various wire sizes and transmission rates. Maximum cumulativecapacitance is the total capacitance of all installed copper wire used in the data network.

Cable propertiesData and audio networks in an EST3 system do not require the use of shielded cable,and networks designed with twisted-pair can be about twice as long as those designedwith shielded cable. The maximum length of a data network varies with the propertiesof the wire used. Wire manufacturers typically provide specifications for wire resistanceand capacitance.

Resistance is generally specified in ohms per 1,000 feet, and must be doubled for 1,000feet of a twisted-pair cable. Capacitance is specified in picofarads per foot (pF/ft). Thecapacitance between conductors of a twisted-pair is commonly referred to as conductor-conductor or mutual capacitance. Shielded cable has an additional capacitance betweeneach conductor and the shield. The capacitance of either conductor to shield is typicallytwice the value of mutual capacitance, and the highest value of capacitance must be usedwhen calculating the maximum length of a data network. The overall length of datanetworks designed with twisted-pair cable is about twice as long as data networksdesigned with shielded cable due to the additional capacitance resulting from the shield.

Calculating a maximum lengthThe maximum length of a data network can be calculated by dividing the maximumcumulative capacitance allowed by the highest capacitance rating of the selected cable.For example, say you wanted to determine maximum length of a data network using18 AWG cable that is rated at 25 pF per foot. The network will communicate at 38.4Kbaud. The maximum length equals the maximum cumulative capacitance divided bythe capacitance per foot. In equation form:

ML = MCC / CPF

In our example: ML = 1.4 mF / 25 pF/ft; ML = 56,000 ft

Calculating maximum wire capacitance per footThe capacitive property of twisted-pair cable varies and the cost of cable generallyincreases as the capacitance per foot decreases. Following is a sample calculation fordetermining the maximum capacitance per foot that a cable can have for a givennetwork length. The maximum capacitance per foot equals the maximum cumulativecapacitance divided by the total network length. In equation form:

MCPF = MCC / TNL

Where: • MCC can be obtained from the table given in this topic• Total network length is the sum of the lengths of individual copper

runs in the network

Example: The total copper distance of a network is 26,000 ft. Calculate the maximumcapacitance per foot that can be used for 18 AWG twisted-pair cable at 38.4K baud.

MCPF = MCC / TNLMCPF = 1.4 mF / 26,000 ftMCPF = 53.8 pF/ft

3-SAC Data BusSAC bus wiring riquirementsType: unshielded, twisted pair, > 6 twists per footMaximum bus length: 4,000 ft (1,220 m) @ 25 pF/ftMaximum total circuit capacitance: 0.1 µFMaximum total circuit resistance: 52 Ohms

3-SAC PowerThis topic provides information to help you determine whether:• A power supply must be added to the SAC bus• Adequate voltage will be available to CRCs and KPDISPs on the SAC bus• The standby battery in each CRC is properly sized

Determining the need for a remote power supplyThe need for additional power is dictated by the current drawn by the devices on theSAC bus. Each 3-PPS/M can supply a total of 7 A through two 3.5 A outputs. EachSAC line can therefore draw a maximum of 3.5 A. This consists of the current drawn bythe CRCs and KPDISPs plus any readers, strikes, or maglocks.If the load on the 3-PPS/M supply is greater than 3.5 A, you’ll need to split the devicesover two SAC buses, or add a remote power supply.

To determine the total load on the 3-PPS/M:1. Complete Form A (below) to calculate the system alarm and standby load current.2. Total the columns to determine the Total Alarm Load and Total Amp Hours. These

two totals will be used in later calculations.3. If the Total Alarm Load is greater than 3.5 A, the devices must be divided between

two SAC buses, each with a separate supply — OR — a remote power supplymust be installed.

4. If a remote power supply is used a ground wire must be between the 3-SAC andthe remote power supply.

Providing adequate voltage for devices

To determine whether each CRC and KPDISP will have adequate input voltage,calculate the voltage drops along the SAC bus. Voltage drops can be estimated oractual.

Estimated voltage dropTo estimate the voltage drop use Table D-1 and Table D-2, which show the maximumwire length for a given number of doors at a given current load. The tables assumeeven spacing between the doors and an equal load at each door.

1. First, determine the load per door by adding the alarm currents of the CRC, doorlock, card reader, and sounder.

2. Determine the number of doors you need to secure. Find the number of doorsTable D-1 then search across that row for the column with the current youcalculated in step 1.

3. The intersection gives the maximum distance from the 3-PPS/M or remote powersupply to the last door.

4. If the distance to the last door in your installation is less than this distance nofurther calculations are needed.

5. If the distance to the last door in you installation is greater than this distancecheck TYable D-2 using steps 1 through 4.

6. If changing the gauge of the wire does not work, you must run a second powerline, or divide the SAC bus and add a remote power supply. In either case, recheckyour estimates.

For example: You are putting a CRC, a strike rated at 250 mA @ 12 Vdc, a CR-5395and a CRCSND at 8 doors. The furthest door is 500 feet from the control.Using step 1 above, you determine that the total alarm current for this door is 149mA. In Table D-1 (for 16 AWG), find 8 in the Doors column, go across this row to the150 mA column. The intersection shows a maximum length of 584 feet. Since thedistance from the control panel to the last door is less than 584 feet, no furthercalculations are needed.

Actual voltage dropTo calculate the actual voltage drop based on the actual load for each device and theactual distance between each device, follow the steps on the next page.

1. Start the EST 3 System Builder program and select the 16 AWG check box.2. Enter the actual alarm load for the first device and the distance from the control

panel to that device. The system will calculate the voltage drop and indicatewhether it is OK to continue.

3. Continue by adding the actual alarm load and the distance from the previousdevice for each device on the SAC bus.

4. If you successfully enter all devices with no error messages, no further calculationsare required. The panel supply will be adequate and each device will receivesufficient voltage.

5. If an error message occurs, you have the following options:• Repeat the process using 14 AWG in step 1• Run a second power supply line• Divide the SAC bus and add a remote power supply
