Purchasers who install this system for use by others must

leave the instructions with the user. A copy of these

instructions is included with each product and is available

from the manufacturer.

This equipment is Listed by various listing agencies for use

in emergency evacuation and fire alarm systems. Use only

components that are compatible with this FocalPoint™

System. The installation MUST be in accordance with the

instructions in this manual.

Therefore:

• DO NOT deviate from the procedures described in this

manual.

• DO NOT assume any details not shown in this manual.

• DO NOT modify any electrical or mechanical features.

• DO comply with all codes and standards set forth by

the Authority Having Jurisdiction.

The term “Authority Having Jurisdiction” has become a

standard term in the fire alarm industry. An acceptable

definition of “Authority Having Jurisdiction” is:

Fire alarm systems installed in the USA fall under the

jurisdiction of some authority. In some areas, this may be a

local fire department; in other areas, it may be a building

inspector, insurance firm, etc. Different authorities may

have their own local requirements for the way the fire alarm

system is installed and used. Most local authorities based

their requirements on the NFPA (National Fire Protection

Association) codes, but there may be important

differences. You must install this system in the way in

which the Authority Having Jurisdiction requires. If you do

not know which authority has jurisdiction in your area,

contact your local fire department or building inspector for

guidance.

It is important that you tell users to be aware of any

requirements defined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction.

The installation MUST be in accordance with the following

standards:

• National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72)

• National Electrical Code (NFPA 70)

• Life Safety Code (NFPA 101)

WARNING: Touching components, which are

improperly installed, applied or operated, could be

hazardous and possibly fatal. Short circuits could

cause arcing that could result in molten metal injuries.

Therefore, only qualified technicians familiar with

electrical hazards should perform checkout

procedures. Safety glasses should be worn, and test

equipment used for voltage measurements should be

designed for this purpose and be in good working

order.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

It is important that this equipment be operated within its

specifications: Recommended operating temperature

range: 0°C to 49°C (32°F to 120°F) and at a relative

humidity 93% ± 2% RH (non-condensing) at 32°C ± 2°C

(90°F ± 3°F).

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Check that you have all the equipment you need to

complete the installation. Follow the field wiring diagrams

and installation notes in this manual.

Install the equipment in a clean, dry environment (minimal

dust). Avoid installing the equipment where vibrations will

occur.

Remove all electronic assemblies prior to drilling, filing,

reaming, or punching the enclosure. When possible, make

all cable entries from the side, being careful to separate the

power-limited conductors from the non power-limited

conductors. Before making modifications, verify that they

will not interfere with battery, transformer, and printed circuit

board location.

Do not over tighten screw terminals. Over tightening may

damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact

pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal.

Disconnect all sources of power before servicing, removing,

or inserting any circuit board. Control unit and associated

equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting

cards, subassemblies, or interconnecting cables while the

unit is energized.

WIRING CONSIDERATIONS

A Gamewell/FCI fire alarm control panel contains power-

limited circuits. You cannot connect external sources of

power to these circuits without invalidating their approval.

Verify that wiring sizes are adequate for all initiating device

and notification appliance circuits. Most devices cannot

tolerate more than a 10% drop from the specified voltage.

The installer must ensure that the wiring and devices

installed in the system meet the current National Electrical

Code, NFPA 70, and all applicable state and local building

code requirements.

Use the conductor size and type required by local codes

(see NFPA 70, Article 760). Wiring resistance must not be

more than that shown on the field wiring diagrams.

To reduce errors and help in servicing the system, all

conductors should be labeled or otherwise coded and

logged at installation to identify circuit assignment and

polarity. If the conductors are logged with a code, keep the

log that explains the code with the manual, so that it is

available to other people working on the panel.

Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may

operate erratically or be damaged when subjected to

lightning induced transients. Although no system is

completely immune to lightning transients and interference,

proper grounding will reduce susceptibility. Gamewell/FCI

does not recommend the use of overhead or outside aerial

wiring due to the increased susceptibility to nearby lightning

strikes. Consult with the Gamewell/FCI Technical Support

Department if any problems are anticipated or encountered.

To prevent the spread of fire, use proper patching materials

to areas where system wiring passes through fire-rated

walls or floors.

SURVIVABILITY

Per the National Fire Alarm Code, NFPA 72, all circuits

necessary for the operation of the notification appliances

shall be protected until they enter the evacuation signaling

zone that they serve. Any of the following methods shall be

considered acceptable as meeting these requirements:

• A two-hour rated cable or cable system.

• A two-hour rated enclosure.

• Performance alternatives approved by Authority

Having Jurisdiction.

MAINTENANCE

To keep your fire alarm system in excellent working order,

ongoing maintenance is required per the manufacturer’s

recommendations and UL and NFPA Standards, and

applicable state and local codes. At a minimum, the

requirements of Chapter 7 of NFPA, the National Fire Alarm

Code, shall be followed. A preventative maintenance

agreement should be arranged through the manufacturer’s

local representative. Though smoke detectors are

designed for long life, they may fail at any time. Any smoke

detector, fire alarm system, or any component of that

system shall be repaired or replaced immediately.

SYSTEM RE-ACCEPTANCE TEST

To ensure proper system operation, this product must be

tested in accordance with NFPA 72, Chapter 7. Re-

acceptance testing is required after any modification, repair,

or adjustment to system hardware, wiring, or programming.

All components, circuits, or system operations known to be

affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addition, to

ensure that other operations are not inadvertently affected,

at least 10% of initiating devices that are not directly

affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50 devices,

must also be tested and proper system operation verified.

Equipment used in the system may not be technically

compatible with the control panel. It is essential to use only

equipment Listed for service with the control panel.

LIMITATIONS OF FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS

Gamewell/FCI recommends that smoke and/or heat

detectors be located throughout the protected premises

following the recommendations of the current edition of the

National Fire Protection Association Standard 72, the

National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72), manufacturer’s

recommendations, State and local codes, and the

recommendations contained in the Guide for the Proper

Use of System Smoke Detectors, which is made available

at no charge to all installing dealers. A study by the Federal

Emergency Management Agency (an agency of the United

States government) indicated that smoke detectors may not

go into alarm or give early warning in as many as 35% of all

fires. While fire alarm systems are designed to provide

warning against fire, they do not guarantee warning or

protection against fire. Any alarm system is subject to

compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons. For

example:

Particles of combustion or “smoke” from a developing fire

may not reach the sensing chambers of a smoke detector

because:

• Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls,

or chimneys may inhibit air flow.

• Smoke particles may become “cold” and stratify, and

may not reach the ceiling or upper walls where

detectors are located.

• Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by

air outlets.

• Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before

reaching the detector.

In general, smoke detectors on one level of a structure

cannot be expected to sense fires developing on another

level.

The amount of “smoke” present may be insufficient to alarm

smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are designed to alarm

at various levels of smoke density. If such density levels

are not created by a developing fire at the location of

detectors, the detectors will not go into alarm.

Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have

sensing limitations. Detectors that have photo-electronic

sensing chambers tend to detect smoldering fires earlier

than flaming fires, which have little visible smoke.

Detectors that have ionization-type sensing chambers tend

to detect fast flaming fires earlier than smoldering fires.

Because fires develop in different ways and are often

unpredictable in their growth, neither type of detector is

necessarily best and a given type of detector may not

provide adequate warning of a fire.

Smoke detectors are subject to unwanted or nuisance

alarms. For example, a smoke detector located in or near a

kitchen may go into nuisance alarm during normal

operation of kitchen appliances. In addition, dusty or

steamy environments may cause a smoke detector to alarm

unnecessarily. If the location of a smoke detector causes

an abundance of unwanted or nuisance alarms, do not

disconnect the smoke detector; call a professional to

analyze the situation and recommend a solution.

Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate

warning of a fire caused by arson, children playing with

matches (especially in bedrooms), smoking in bed, violent

explosions (caused by escaping gas, improper storage of

flammable materials, etc.).

Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and

are designed to alarm only when heat on their sensors

increase at a predetermined rate or reaches a

predetermined level. Heat detectors are designed to

protect property, not life.

Warning devices (including horns, sirens, bells, and

speakers) may not alert people or awaken sleepers who

are located on the other side of closed or partially open

doors. A warning device that activates on a different floor

or level of a dwelling or structure is less likely to awaken or

alert people. Even persons who are awake may not notice

the warning if the alarm is muffled by noise from a stereo,

radio, air conditioner or other appliance, or by passing

traffic. Audible warning devices may not alert the hearing-

impaired (strobes or other devices should be provided to

warn these people). Any warning device may fail to alert

people with a disability, deep sleepers, people who have

recently used alcohol or drugs, or people on medication or

sleeping pills.

Please note that:

• Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause

seizures in people with conditions such as epilepsy.

• Studies have shown that certain people, even when

they hear a fire alarm signal, do not respond or

comprehend the meaning of the signal. It is the

property owner’s responsibility to conduct fire drills and

other training exercises to make people aware of the

fire alarm signals and instruct on the proper reaction to

alarm signals.

• In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device

can cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.

Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a

premise to a central station may be out of service or

temporarily out of service. For added protection against

telephone line failure, backup radio transmission systems

are recommended.

System components, though designed to last many years,

can fail at any time. As a precautionary measure, it is

recommended that smoke detectors be checked,

maintained, and replaced per manufacturer’s

recommendations.

System components will not work without electrical power.

If system batteries are not serviced or replaced regularly,

they may not provide adequate standby when AC power

fails.

Environments with high air velocity or that are dusty or dirty

require more frequent maintenance.

In general, fire alarm systems and devices will not work

without power and will not function properly unless they are

maintained and tested regularly.

While installing a fire alarm system may make the owner

eligible for a lower insurance rate, a fire alarm system is not

a substitute for insurance. Property owners should

continue to act prudently in protecting the premises and the

people on the premises and should properly insure life and

property and buy sufficient amounts of liability insurance to

meet their needs.
