2.0 Introduction
Mircom's FA-300 Series Fire Alarm Control Panel is a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) based
fire panel. The FA-300 provides a maximum of 12 supervised Class B or A (style B or D)
Initiating circuits, and maximum of four supervised Class B or A (Style Y or Z) indicating
circuits. All circuits are supervised for opens and ground faults, and indicating circuits are
supervised for shorts. Optional modules include relay, polarity reversal and city tie and Class A
Converters for initiating and indicating circuits. Semi-flush or surface mountable backboxes
can be used for retrofits and on new installations.
2.1 Overall Features
• The basic unit has six Class B (Style B) initiating circuits, which may be configured as
Class A (Style D) using input Class A converter adder module. Each initiating circuit can
be configured as alarm, verified alarm, water flow alarm, sprinkler alarm, latching or
non-latching supervisory, monitor or trouble circuits.
• The basic unit has two power limited Class B (Style Y) indicating circuits. Each
indicating circuit may be configured as Class A (Style Z) using an output Class A
converter adder module. Each indicating circuit may be configured as silenceable
signal, non-silenceable signal, silenceable strobe, non-silenceable strobe. The audible
signal may be Steady, Temporal Code, California Code, or March Time.
• Each initiating and indicating circuit can be individually disconnected via the keypad and
LCD display with password access.
• Configurable signal silence inhibit, auto signal silence, and one-man walk test.
• Four-wire resettable smoke power supply 300 mA maximum.
• Relay contacts for common alarm, common supervisory and common trouble all non-
disconnect-able and auxiliary alarm relay (disconnectable).
• RS-485 interface for RA-1000 series remote multiplex Annunciators, LCD Annunciators
and smart relay adder.
• Optional modules for additional relay circuits, city tie and polarity reversal signaling.
• Extensive transient protection.
• With or without built-in UDACT (Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter).
• Easy configuration of the panel using front LCD display and keypad.
• Remote dial up (with built-in UDACT version) for event log checking and/or configuration
changing.
• Laptop programmer for direct configuration changing and log checking.
Note: Installation of the FA-300 series fire alarm control panel should be in accordance
with Canadian Electrical Code Part 1, ULC-S524 installation of Fire Alarm
System, National Electrical Code NFPA 70 and NFPA 72. Final acceptance
subject to the Local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
