10.0 Supported Protocols and Devices
10.1 Synchronous Strobes
The synchronous strobe models that are supported by the FA-300 panel include Mircom
models FHS-240 and FS-240. A separate compatibility list is available for different supported
models.
Strobes can be configured as normal (not synchronized). See . Any selection made is system-
wide (that is, the selection applies to all the circuits in the system that are configured as
strobes).
10.2 Signal silence on strobes
The signal silence action on strobes depends on the configuration.
10.2.1 Non-silenceable strobes
If the output zone is configured as non-silenceable strobe and the SIGNAL SILENCE button is
pressed while the strobes are active, only the horns are silenced. If SIGNAL SILENCE is
deactivated, then the horns turn back on.
10.2.2 Silenceable strobes
If the output circuit is configured as silenceable strobe, and if the SIGNAL SILENCE button is
pressed, both the horn and strobe are turned off. Pressing the SIGNAL SILENCE button again
turns them on again.
10.3 System Sensor’s i
3
Devices
The FA-300 fire control panel supports System Sensor’s i
3
devices. Only the two wire smoke
detectors 2W-B and 2WT-B are supported on the i
3
zone. Model 2WT-B features a built-in
fixed temperature (135°F / 57.2°C) thermal detector and is capable of sensing a freeze
condition if the temperature is below 41°F / 5°C.
The zones should be programmed to i
3
devices to be considered as i
3
zone (see ). If the zone
is not programmed as an i
3
zone and i
3
devices are connected to the zone, it is treated as a
regular zone. The panel can detect multiple troubles; if different devices have different troubles
on the same zone, all troubles are reported. The following troubles are reported for a zone
configured as an i
3
zone.
10.3.1 Open circuit trouble
If the circuit is broken, the panel shows an open trouble. The panel can still communicate with
the devices depending upon where the open occurs.
Note: Please see the strobe manufacturer’s data for details.
