8 Notifier SLC Wiring Manual — P/N 51253:U9 12/3/2021
Section 1: Introduction
1.1 About This Manual
This document covers the installation and wiring of various Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) devices, when used with the following Fire
Alarm Control Panels
1
(FACPs):
• AFP-100
• AFP-200
• AFP-300/AFP-400
• AM2020/AFP1010
• NOTIFIER INSPIRE™ N16 Series (initial release for UL applications)
• NFS-3030/NFS2-3030
• NFS-640/NFS2-640
• NFS-320/NFS-320SYS
• System 5000 with AIM-200
• NCA and NCA-2/C
This document also provides basic information that applies to Notifier SLC loops in general, such as the branch resistance measure-
ments.
See Section 2.4, “Control Panel Terminal Blocks”, on page 23 for basic panel-end SLC connections. Additional information about each
control panel and the modules and detectors referenced in this document, and the part numbers for their manuals, can be found in the
respective installation manual as listed in Section 1.3, “Reference Documentation”.
FlashScan modules are changing to a new format. Several models are now available in this new format and have replaced the old format
illustrations in this manual. While the old format is no longer manufactured for these models, Appendix C has been provided for those
who need that wiring information: it contains terminal conversion charts between the old and new formats. In this appendix, the modules
are referred to as “h-type” (the new format, which has horizontal rotary dials) and “v-type” (the old format, which has vertical rotary
dials). This naming convention is a convenient way to avoid confusion when referring to a particular model, as the name of the model
does not indicate the format. Refer to Figure 1.1.
1.2 UL 864 Compliance
1.2.1 Products Subject to AHJ Approval
This SLC Wiring Manual accompanies the user documents for various fire alarm control panels (FACPs). The N16, NFS2-3030, NFS2-
640, NFS-320, and NFS-320SYS have been certified to comply with the requirements in the Standard for Control Units and Accessories
for Fire Alarm Systems, UL 864 10th Edition.

• Per the UL Continuing Certification Program, UL 864 9th edition fire alarm control equipment will retain certification after the
rollout of UL 10th edition (12/2/2018).
1.The AFC-600 has been discontinued. To service existing installations, refer to the original AFC-600 manuals.
NOTE: This manual does not call out Canadian and Export versions of panels and devices where products are the same. The information
presented applies to all versions of the base panel/device.
NOTE: The term N16 is used to refer to the NOTIFIER INSPIRE™ N16 Series panels, and the term FAAST is used to refer to the
FAAST XS, FAAST XM, FAAST XT, and FAAST XT PRO unless otherwise noted.
