System overview
The Addressable Fire Alarm training system is designed to allow you to become
familiar with an addressable fire alarm system. You will learn how to install and
connect devices, you will be introduced to the equipment and circuits commonly
used in the domain, and you will familiarize yourself with the configuration of a fire
aiarm controi panei (FACP).
As Figure 1-1 shows, the training system mainly consists of a fire alarm control panel
(FACP), an auxiliary panel (AP), electrical boxes, and conduits. The components
supplied with the system include smoke and heat detectors, fire alarm stations, horns
and many other components that mount in the electrical boxes. Connections are
made using shielded cables running in EMT conduits.

The fire alarm control panel (FACP) supplied with your training system is
manufactured by GE Security, and the model is Quickstart (QS1) in the Signature
series. It includes the cabinet, a power supply card (PS6), CPU, display, Signature
Loop Intelligent Controller card (SLIC) that provides one Class-A or Class-B
intelligent addressable loop and two Class-A or Class-8 output circuits, and an
annunciator LED panel that provides 30 LEOs for point or zone annunciation of
alarm, monitor, and trouble signals.
Status Indicators
The status indicators of the fire alarm control panel (FACP) are shown in Figure 1-2,
and described in Table 1-1.

Auxiliary Panel
To protect the integrity of the fire alarm control panel (FACP), no connections should
be made in the panel. All connections are made in the auxiliary panel (AP). Most of
the terminals available inside the FACP are accessible in the auxiliary panel (AP).
The function of the terminals is described in Table 1-4.

Note: Damages to the fire alarm control panel may occur if the Loop terminals come into contact
with the other terminals in the auxiliary panel.
Mains AC power: Connect the mains AC power after all devices have been
installed and wired. Do not energize the panel until you are
ready to commission the system.
Standby batteries: The FACP is equipped with standby batteries. These batteries
must not be connected until the FACP is connected to an AC
outlet. The Standby Battery Jumper (in the auxiliary panel) must
be installed to connect the batteries. Use a short wire as jumper.
A fire alarm system mainly consists of a control panel, initiating devices that send
information to the control panel, and notification appliances that receive information
from the control panel.
Initiating devices may be fire alarm stations, detection devices such as smoke and
heat detectors, and supervisory switches. Notification appliances may be audible
and/or visual signaling devices, such as horns, strobes, and lights.
The control panel supervises the initiating device circuits (IDC) and notification
appliance circuits (NAC) to prevent failure in the system.
Addressable fire alarm systems use sophisticated electronics that employ a system
of electronic questions and answers to verify circuit viability . The control panel knows
the names of all the devices that are connected to it. After asking a question to each
device on its list, the control panel must receive an answer from that device only.
Failure to receive the proper answer causes the panel to generate a trouble signal.
When using components that are not addressable such as a horn in a notification
appliance circuit (NAC), a resistor is placed at the end of the line to monitor the
current flowing in the circuit. Depending on the current value, the FACP determines
if the circuit is in a normal, open, or short condition.
To restore the FACP to the normal state after an alarm, make sure that no inputs are
latched in the activate state. If any inputs are still in a latched condition at the end of
the reset cycle, audible notification appliances, if silenced, will re-sound and the
panel buzzer, if silenced, will resound.
To reset the fire alarm control panel, press the Reset button on the panel faceplate,
and then enter the level 2 password (2222). The LED next to the Reset button
indicates that the reset function is active.
The operator commands are organized into menus. There are four separate levels
of command menus:
Level 1 command menus include the commands that anyone can use without
entering a password.
Level 2 command menus include the commands that an operator can use
after entering the level 2 password (2222) or after switching the Enable
Controls key switch to the ON position.

However, you may refer to the Technical Reference Manual to obtain the
list of the commands associated with each level.

after entering the level 3 password (3333).
Level 4 command menus include the commands that an operator can use
after entering the level 4 password (4444).
