Firelite 300 Series - User Manual

This Supplement has been created to introduce new addressable devices and a new FACP software
feature which allows the control panel to monitor and printout the sensitivity for each addressable
smoke detector connected to the system.
I. Addressable Devices
Legacy Addressable Devices
The legacy 300 Series addressable devices, which continue to be compatible with all versions of the addressable FACP (Fire
Alarm Control Panel), have been discontinued and can no longer be ordered. These devices include the following:
• SD300 - Photoelectric Smoke Detector
• SD300T - Photoelectric Smoke Detector with Thermal Sensor
• CP300 - Ionization Smoke Detector
• M300 - Monitor Module
• M301 - Miniature Monitor Module
• M302 - two-wire Monitor Module
• C302 - Control/Relay Module
New Addressable Devices
The newer addressable devices, which are compatible with all versions of the FACP, incorporate the latest technology. Each
addressable device can be set to an address ranging between 001 and 099. Do not set the address rotary switches to a value
higher than 099 since it will not be recognized by the FACP. A blinking LED on each detector and monitor module indicates
communication between the device and the control panel. Legacy and new addressable devices can be mixed on the same SLC
loop.
The new devices include the following:
• SD350: an intelligent, addressable low profile photoelectric smoke detector which provides smoke sensing technology
• SD350T: an intelligent, addressable low profile photoelectric smoke detector which provides smoke sensing technology
and a 135
o
fixed thermal sensor
• CP350: an intelligent, addressable low profile ionization smoke detector which measures the level of combustion
products in its chamber using the 'ionization' principle
• D350P: an intelligent, addressable photoelectric duct smoke detector.
• D350RP: an intelligent, addressable photoelectric duct smoke detector with a built-in alarm relay
• MMF-300: an addressable monitor module for monitoring normally open contact alarm initiating devices, such as
manual pull stations, four-wire smoke detectors, heat detectors, waterflow, security contacts and supervisory devices.
Circuits can be connected Style B (Class B) or Style D (Class A)
• MDF-300: an addressable dual monitor module which functions the same as the MMF-300 except circuits can only be
connected as Style B (Class B)
• MMF-301: an addressable monitor module that is functionally similar to an MMF-300 but offered in a smaller package
for mounting directly in the electrical box of the device being monitored. Circuits can only be connected as Style B
(Class B)
• MMF-302: an addressable monitor module used primarily for two-wire smoke detectors in addition to normally open
contact devices. Circuits can be connected Style B (Class B) or Style D (Class A)
• CMF-300: an addressable control module used to connect NACs (Notification Appliance Circuits) to power and
supervise compatible, UL-listed notification appliances. The circuits can be wired as Style Y (Class B) or Style Z
(Class A)
• CRF-300: an addressable control relay module which is functionally similar to the CMF-300 but used as a Form-C relay
module

This document introduces new addressable devices and a software feature for Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs) that allows monitoring and printing of sensitivity for each addressable smoke detector.

Addressable Devices

The document outlines two categories of addressable devices: Legacy and New.

Legacy Addressable Devices:

These devices, though compatible with all FACP versions, have been discontinued and are no longer available for order. They include:

• SD300: A photoelectric smoke detector.
• SD300T: A photoelectric smoke detector with an integrated thermal sensor.
• CP300: An ionization smoke detector.
• M300: A monitor module.
• M301: A miniature monitor module.
• M302: A two-wire monitor module.
• C302: A control/relay module.

New Addressable Devices:

These newer devices incorporate the latest technology and are compatible with all FACP versions. Each device can be assigned an address from 001 to 099. It is crucial not to set the address rotary switches higher than 099, as the FACP will not recognize such addresses. A blinking LED on each detector and monitor module indicates communication with the control panel. Both legacy and new addressable devices can be used together on the same SLC loop.

The new devices include:

• SD350: An intelligent, addressable low-profile photoelectric smoke detector designed for smoke sensing.
• SD350T: An intelligent, addressable low-profile photoelectric smoke detector that combines smoke sensing with a 135° fixed thermal sensor.
• CP350: An intelligent, addressable low-profile ionization smoke detector that uses the 'ionization' principle to measure combustion products.
• D350P: An intelligent, addressable photoelectric duct smoke detector.
• D350RP: An intelligent, addressable photoelectric duct smoke detector with a built-in alarm relay.
• MMF-300: An addressable monitor module for monitoring normally open contact alarm initiating devices. These include manual pull stations, four-wire smoke detectors, heat detectors, waterflow sensors, security contacts, and supervisory devices. Circuits can be connected as Style B (Class B) or Style D (Class A).
• MDF-300: An addressable dual monitor module that functions similarly to the MMF-300, but its circuits can only be connected as Style B (Class B).
• MMF-301: An addressable monitor module functionally similar to the MMF-300, but in a smaller package for direct mounting in the electrical box of the monitored device. Circuits can only be connected as Style B (Class B).
• MMF-302: An addressable monitor module primarily used for two-wire smoke detectors, in addition to normally open contact devices. Circuits can be connected as Style B (Class B) or Style D (Class A).
• CMF-300: An addressable control module used to connect Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs) to power and supervise compatible, UL-listed notification appliances. Circuits can be wired as Style Y (Class B) or Style Z (Class A).
• CRF-300: An addressable control relay module functionally similar to the CMF-300, but it is specifically a Form-C relay module.

Addressable Smoke Detector Sensitivity

Software Enhancement:

The FACP software has been enhanced to include a feature that allows the control panel to monitor and print the sensitivity of each addressable smoke detector in the system. This eliminates the need for a service technician to physically connect a test device to each smoke detector in the field, streamlining maintenance and testing procedures.

Detector Data:

The ability of an addressable smoke detector to detect smoke can degrade over time due to component deterioration, environmental contaminants, and dirt. The FACP now allows for the sensitivity data of each addressable smoke detector to be printed.

To access this feature:

1. Enter Read Status mode from the control panel keypad. The LCD screen will display:

   1 = PROGRAMMING
   2=RD STATUS 3=RD BAT
   

2. Press 2 to enter Read Status mode. The screen will then display:

   DISPLAY POINT=*/#,AA
   HISTORY=1      PRINT=2
   

3. Press 2 to access the Print function. The screen will display:

   PRN PRGRAM/STATUS=1
   HISTORY=2 DET DATA=3
   

4. To print the sensitivity data for each addressable smoke detector, press 3 for DET DATA while viewing the Print screen. An optional printer connected to the FACP will generate a printout similar to the following:

   ********************DETECTOR DATA********************
   DEVICE TYPE     CHAMBER READING     TIME/DATE
   SMOKE DET P01   1420                03:52P Fri 01/19/01
   SMOKE DET P02   1362                03:52P Fri 01/19/01
   SMOKE DET I03   1452                03:52P Fri 01/19/01
   SMOKE DET I04   1350                03:52P Fri 01/19/01
   *****************************************************
   

Maintenance Features:

The "Chamber Reading" value displayed in the printout indicates the detector's sensitivity. This reading should fall within specific ranges for different smoke detector types:

• SD350(T), D350P(R), and SD300(T) Addressable Ionization Smoke Detectors: 405 - 2100
• CP350 and CP300 Addressable Photoelectric Smoke Detectors: 750 - 2100

If a smoke detector's Chamber Reading is outside its acceptable range, the recommended action is to clean the detector and recheck the Chamber Reading. If the reading remains outside the acceptable range after cleaning, the detector should be replaced immediately.

For more detailed information on accessing Read Status mode and interpreting smoke detector addresses, refer to the Programming section of the Fire Alarm Control Panel manual.

Note: If a printer is not available, the HyperTerminal feature (found in the Windows® program Accessories folder on most personal computers) can be used to store the Detector Data information. Any settings configured in HyperTerminal must match the printer settings detailed in the FACP manual. Refer to the Windows® manual for information on using HyperTerminal.
