Control Panel Limitations
The FW105 control panel may not show an alarm condition without compatible initiating devices (smoke
detectors, etc.) and notification devices (horns, strobes, etc.) connected to it. Electrical ratings of the
initiation and notification appliances must be compatible with the electrical ratings of the control panel
and must be properly interconnected. The wiring used for interconnection must be large enough to carry
the total current for all appliances without excessive voltage drop. Please refer to Appendix-B: Wire
Selection Guide for detail.
The control panel must be connected to a dedicated primary electrical source that has a high degree of
reliability and adequate capacity for this control panel. The means of disconnecting this power source shall be
available only to authorized personnel and clearly marked "Fire Alarm Circuit Control".
Even though this control panel was made to last for the expected life of the fire alarm system, parts can fail at
any time. Therefore, a regular test program should be followed and documented to make sure each part of the
system is tested, as indicated in Chapter 7 of NFPA 72, and CAN/ULC-S536, or more often if dictated by local
code requirements. Malfunctioning units must be replaced or repaired immediately by factory authorized
service personnel.
This control panel is designed to show an alarm condition when the initiating devices connected to it
detects specific conditions. These conditions may or may not represent a life-threatening condition.
Unneeded evacuation of a building or an area may subject individuals to an unnecessary hazard.
Therefore, it is important that the building owner, manager, or representative promulgate, distribute,
and/or post instructions describing steps to be taken when the fire alarm control panel signals an
alarm condition. These instructions should be developed in co-operation with representatives of the
local authority having jurisdiction and in accordance with the applicable standards.
