SECTION 13850

2 .3 MAIN FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL (FACP)

1. The FACP shall be a Cheetah Fire Detection and Control System manufactured by Fike Protection Systems, Blue Springs Missouri. The FACP shall be a micro-processor based system capable of communicating with the following types of peripherals and accessories: smoke sensors, thermal sensors, contact monitoring modules, addressable supervised output modules, addressable releasing modules and addressable relay modules.
2. System Capacity and General Operation

1. The system shall be capable of communicating and controlling up to 508 addressable analog devices and sensors. The system shall support up to 240 software zones for configuring initiating devices and output functions.
2. The system shall respond to an alarm initiating device, including analog smoke sensors within 3 seconds for a fully loaded system (508 devices). Response times shall be measured from the activation of the initiating device to the activation of the associated notification appliance circuit.
3. The system shall provide a Alarm, Trouble and Supervisory Form-C Relay contact rated at a minimum of 2.0 amps @ 30VDC.
4. The system shall provide two configurable notification appliance circuits at the FACP. Each circuit shall be rated for 2.0 amps @ 24 VDC.
5. The FACP shall include a full featured operator interface control and annunciation panel that shall include a LCD display, individual color coded system status LEDs and an alpha numeric keypad for field programming of the fire alarm system.
6. All programming or editing of the existing configuration program in the system shall not require use of special equipment, such as a laptop personal computer. Access to the configuration program shall be limited by use of a password security system. Three levels of access shall be used to isolate user, maintenance and configuration operating portions of the system.
7. The FACP shall provide the following features:

1. Drift compensation for analog sensors.
2. Sensitivity test in accordance with NFPA 72 requirements.
3. Maintenance alert for sensors with excessive accumulations of dust or dirt.
4. Alarm verification with individual counters for each sensor.
5. Periodic calibration of smoke sensors.
6. Day/Night automatic smoke sensor sensitivity adjustments.
7. One man walk test with optional notification appliance testing.
8. Two levels of adjustable pre-alarm for advanced warning.
9. 1800 event history buffer, with dedicated 600 event alarm event buffer.

3. Central Microprocessor

1. The central microprocessor shall communicate, control and monitor all external devices. All custom operating parameters for the system shall be stored in non-volatile memory to prevent loss during power outages. A real time clock shall be provided to denote actual time of occurrence of system events for the display, history buffers and external reporting devices.

4. Display

1. An 80 character LCD display shall annunciate system conditions and program system operating parameters.
2. Eight status LEDs; AC Power, Fire Alarm, Pre-Alarm Warning, Supervisory, Trouble, Alarm Silence, Supervisory Silence and Trouble Silence, shall be provided.
3. The display unit shall provide a 25 key-pad with tactile feel membrane switches which provide operational feedback. Separate keys shall be dedicated to System Reset, Step, Alarm Silence, Acknowledge, and Drill. The key-pad shall be used to provide all control and programming functions for the system.

5. Signaling Line Circuits (SLC)

1. Each SLC shall provide power and communication with up to 127 analog or addressable devices. The basic system shall consist of two (2) SLC (254 devices total) with expansion to four (4) SLC (508 devices total). Each SLC shall be capable of meeting the wiring requirements of NFPA 72, Style 4, 6 and 7.
2. Each SLC shall communicate using a completely digital communication method to provide a more reliable, noise immune communication system. All communication between an addressable device or sensor shall use a validation method, such as providing a checksum for each message, to validate the integrity of each message. Systems which use a hybrid analog and digital communication scheme will not meet the requirements of this section.
3. Each SLC shall use an Interrupt driven communication scheme to rapidly identify alarm conditions of any connected device. The normal polling scheme of the system shall be interrupted by a device in alarm. Identification of the alarming device shall be annunciated at the control system display within 2 seconds of activation.
4. Control devices shall maintain local operating parameters and not require individual commands from the control system to activate.
5. The system shall meet the requirements of NFPA 72 as a calibrated smoke sensitivity fixture.

6. Enclosures

1. The system shall be housed in a small footprint enclosure with dimensions not to exceed 22" X 14.75" X 4.5".
2. The enclosure shall be capable of surface or semi-flush mounting without requiring additional hardware.
3. The enclosure shall be painted either red or gray with a corrosion protective, harden finish.

7. Power Supplies

1. The power supply shall operate upon either 120 VAC or 240 VAC, 50/60 Hertz and shall provide all power necessary to operate the control system.
2. The power supply shall provide 5.0 amps of power for use on notification appliance circuits or auxiliary power circuits.
3. Capability to supply an additional 5.0 amps of power shall be provided, bringing total output power capacity to 10.0 amps at 24 VDC.
4. Each power supply shall provide battery charger capacity to sufficiently recharge a depleted set of 17 AH batteries within 48 hours.
5. Auxiliary power output circuits shall be provided for four wire detectors or addressable control modules. A separate circuit shall be provided to allow resetting the auxiliary power during a system reset. All auxiliary power circuits shall be power limited.

8. Field Programming

1. The system shall be programmable from the control panel without requiring use of personal computer.
2. All programming shall be accomplished via the standard 25 key-pad.
3. Two levels of password access shall be provided to prevent unauthorized modifications to the system operating configuration. Within each access level, up to 16 unique users can be assigned. The history buffer will record the user for each action taken requiring a password.
4. A Learn Mode shall be provided to identify changes in the installed system with the system configuration. Identified changes will then be presented to the user for validation. The Learn Mode shall also provide a means to program groups of devices with the same operating characteristics to minimize configuration times and errors.
