 Fire Alarm System Limitations
While a fire alarm system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for fire insurance!
An automatic fire alarm system—typically made up of
smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations,
audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control with
remote notification capability—can provide early warning of
a developing fire. Such a system, however, does not assure
protection against property damage or loss of life resulting
from a fire.
While fire alarm systems are designed to provide early
warning against fire, they do not guarantee warning or
protection against fire. A fire alarm system may not provide
timely or adequate warning, or simply may not function, for
a variety of reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot
reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in or
behind walls, on roofs, or on the other side of closed
doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on
another level or floor of a building.
Particles of combustion or “smoke” from a developing
fire may not reach the sensing chambers of smoke
detectors because:
• Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors,
walls, or chimneys may inhibit particle or smoke flow.
• Smoke particles may become “cold,” stratify, and 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.
• 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 photoelectronic
sensing chambers tend to detect smoldering fires better
than flaming fires, which have little visible smoke.
Detectors that have ionizing-type sensing chambers
tend to detect fast-flaming fires better 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 cannot be expected to provide adequate
warning of fires caused by arson, children playing with
matches (especially in bedrooms), smoking in bed, and
violent explosions (caused by escaping gas,
improper storage of flammable materials, etc.).
Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion
and alarm only when heat on their sensors increases at
a predetermined rate or reaches a predetermined level.
Rate-of-rise heat detectors may be subject to reduced
sensitivity over time. For this reason, the rate-of-rise
feature of each detector should be tested at least once
per year by a qualified fire protection specialist. Heat
detectors are designed to protect property, not life.
Smoke detectors must be installed in
the same room as the control panel. If detectors are not so
located, a developing fire may damage the alarm system,
crippling its ability to report a fire.
Audible warning devices such as bells may not alert
people if these devices are located on the other side of
closed or partly open doors or are located on another
floor of a building.
A fire alarm system will not operate without any electrical
power. If AC power fails, the system will operate from
standby batteries only for a specified time and only if the
batteries have been properly maintained and replaced
regularly.
Equipment used in the system may not be technically
compatible with the control. It is essential to use only
equipment listed for service with your control panel.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from
a premise to a central monitoring station may be out of
service or temporarily disabled. For added protection
against telephone line failure, backup radio transmission
systems are recommended.

The most common cause of fire alarm malfunction is

inadequate maintenance. To keep the entire fire alarm
system in excellent working order, ongoing maintenance
is required per the manufacturer's recommendations.
Environments with large amounts of dust, dirt or high air
velocity require more frequent maintenance. A
maintenance agreement should be arranged through the
local manufacturer's representative. Maintenance should
be scheduled or as required by National and/or local fire
codes and should be performed by authorized professional
fire alarm installers only. Adequate written records of all
inspections should be kept.
Installation Precautions
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:
Several different sources of power can be
connected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all
sources of power before servicing. Control unit and
associated equipment may be damaged by removing
and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables
while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to install, service,
or operate this unit until this manual is read and
understood.
System Reaccepting Test after Software
Changes. To ensure proper system operation, this product
must be tested after any programming operation or change
in site-specific software.
All components, circuits, system operations, or software
functions 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.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and
indicating device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate more
than a 10% I.R. drop from the specified device voltage.
Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may
operate erratically or can be damaged when subjected to
lightning-induced transients. Although no system is
completely immune from lightning transients and
interferences, proper grounding will reduce susceptibility.
Overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended,
due to an increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes.
Consult with the Technical Services Department if any
problems are anticipated or encountered.
Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing
or inserting circuit boards. Failure to do so can damage
circuits.
Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling,
filing, reaming, or punching of the enclosure. When
possible,
make all cable entries from the sides or rear. Before making
modifications, verify that they will not interfere with battery,
transformer, and printed circuit board location.

3.6Equipment Debugging

3.6.1Connection Inspection
y Visually inspect the control panel condition
y Visually inspect the external connection ports
y Open the control panel and visually inspect all connections. Confirm connections
are correct, that there are no loose connections, no short circuits, unplugged or
 disconnected connectors as well as confirm the power supply does not have
any short circuit trouble.
y Visually inspect the jumpers in the circuit to confirm there are no duplicate
numbers.

3.6.2Power-on Inspection
After you have finished the visual inspection, power-on the battery power supply.
With the battery started a buzzer should be heard and the LCD should temporarily
function normally. Once the control panel enters normal operation status, a buzzer
and LED horn/strobe will indicate a troubled status because main power is not
connected. Power-down and disconnect the battery power supply then connect and
power on the main power supply. Once the control panel enters normal operation
status, a buzzer and LED horn/strobe will indicate a troubled status because the
battery power supply is not connected. At this time, connect the battery power
supply. Soon after the control panel will return to normal operating status.
During normal operation, if both the main and battery power supplies are
connected the power supply status lamp (on the main panel of the control panel)
will maintain normal illumination.
When the main power supply fails because of loss of power, poor power
connection, an over-voltage or under-voltage of 5V and 24V, or a short circuit with
rack earth and communication trouble with the mainframe, the power supply status
lamp (on main panel of the control panel) illumination will stop. Then both a
buzzer and LED horn/strobe will indicate a troubled status while additional
information will be shown on the control panel LCD.

3.6.3External Connection
Look for any short-circuits or disconnections to and from the control panel. Once
everything has been inspected, connect the control panel.
Batch installation -- connecting 10-20 detectors or modules on the loop per time --
is highly recommended. After installing the detectors or modules restart the control
panel to ensure the newly installed devices are recognized and installed correctly.
If the control panel gives a trouble signal recheck the circuit and addressable
devices are installed properly. Once the trouble signal has been solved, continue
batch installation and power testing. After all the devices have been installed, the
simulated trouble, fire alarm and CBE event functions maybe tested. Confirm that
the control panel alarms normally, properly links field equipment and accurately
prints corresponding alarm information. Continue testing and adjusting until panel
maintains normal operating status.

3.6.4Important Points
y Avoid touching the circuit board IC chip during installation
y Pay attention to polarity during connection and installation
y Before starting the system, check for short circuits, disconnection or reverse
polarity
y Connectors among leads shall be wielded and inter-line insulation shall be
guaranteed.

3.6.5Inspection Methods for Addressable Device

Connections
To test the function of the multi-meter, connect the loop in reverse polarity (the
positive pole connects with the loop negative and the negative pole connects with
the loop positive). The multi-meter should indicate a bias value for the diode.
Then connect the multi-meter normally (positive pole connects with the loop
positive and negative pole connects with the loop negative). The multi-meter
should indicate a low resistance value that increases with the charging of the loop
capacitor. If after proper polarity connection the multi-meter still indicates a bias
value for the diode, there is one or more addressable device(s) connected in reverse
polarity.

5.2.2Password modification
Under “Password modification,” a user can modify his/her password according to
their system status (Admin, Engineer, or Guest). The password modification screen
is shown below:
 Fig. 5-6 Password Modification Screen

The N-6000 has 3 different user levels, each level is password protected. The three
levels are (ordered from highest to lowest) Administrator, Engineer and User. Each
level has its own password. The Administrator user can modify any password in
the system (including the Administrator level). The User can only operate on the
4th setting, “Device Control” and the 5th setting, “History event.” The Engineer
can operate all five settings in the menu but will be interrupted (exit programming)
when an alarm event occurs. The Administrator can operate all five settings in the
menu and will not be interrupted during an alarm event.
Factory default passwords are as follows: 333333 for Administrator, 222222 for
Engineer and 111111 for User.
After the initial login the user will enter the password modification screen. He/she
can change the password by entering a new password in the “Enter new password”
dialogue box and then re-entering the new password in the “Confirm new
password” dialogue box. Once the system has confirmed the two passwords are the
same, the user should press 【OK】 to confirm the password change. After the user
has pressed 【OK】 the password will be successfully modified, to cancel the

the card level setting. When “ (YES)” is chosen and a horn/strobe alarm or alarm
bell activates, the user can press 【Signals Silenced】 on main panel of the control
panel to silence the alarmed equipment. If “ (NO)” is selected, the user cannot
silence the alarmed equipment using the 【Signals Silenced】 button.
Line 8: Address Conflict - “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” If “ (YES)” is selected, during
inspection the system will search for device address duplications within a loop. If
duplication is found, the panel will show a prompt with further instructions. If
“ (NO)” is chosen, the detector will not report duplicate addresses.
Line 9: L+ Ground Fault Detect - “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” When “ (YES)” is
selected and a positive end of the loop is grounded, the system will report positive
end grounding trouble. If “ (NO)” is chosen, the system will not report positive
end grounding trouble.
There are three function keys, “Sync,” “Save,” and “Quit” in the status bar. The
“Sync” button allows the operator to download parameter settings (both card level
and point level settings). The “Save” button saves the changes that have been
selected. The “Quit” button allows the user to quit without saving the changes.

5.3.1.2Auto Programming

• Coincident Address Code: “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” If “ (YES)” is selected,
during inspection the system will search for device address duplications within
a loop. If duplication is found, the panel will show a prompt with further
instructions. If “ (NO)” is chosen the system will not report duplicate
addresses.
• Walk Test: “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” If “ (YES)” is selected, pressing the
【Self-test】 key on the mainframe will cause the system to inspect all
connected devices within the loop. During inspection all verification lamps will
be normally illuminated. If a verification lamp does not illuminate, that device
has failed inspection. If “ (NO)” is selected, the condition shall be opposite.
• Local Mode: “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” The factory default setting is “ (NO).” This
option controls both the point and card level settings. By programming
definition the point level setting is the same as the card level setting. If the loop
card and mainframe have a communication failure all selected modules
(degradation mode) will automatically output a fire alarm signal.
• Silenceable: “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” When “ (YES)” is chosen and a horn/strobe
alarm or alarm bell activates, the user can press 【Signals Silenced】 on main
panel of the control panel to silence the alarmed equipment. If “ (NO)” is
selected, the user cannot silence the alarmed equipment using the 【Signals
Silenced】 button.
• Switch Inhibited: “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” When “ (YES)” is chosen manual
output point operation is inhibited.
• Resetable: “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” When “ (YES)” is selected, the equipment
will automatically reset all output signals when the system is reset.
• Drift Compensation: “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” When “ (YES)” is selected, the
system will restrain individual sensors from automatically performing drift
compensation.
• Rapid Polling: “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” When “ (YES)” is selected, the system
will increase the frequency of in-process inspection on the loop thus increasing
the sensitivity of the equipment.
• Alarm Verification: “ (YES)”/ “ (NO).” When “ (YES)” is selected, there
will be an adjustable delay in the alarm period after a preliminary alarm has
registered, allowing time for the alarm to be verified before sending a general
alarm. Should an alarm condition still exist after verification, the panel will
then go into alarm. Verification time is adjustable (in second’s intervals) and
can be customized by using the edit feature on the right side of the alarm
verification label.

6.1Safety Protection Device

The N-6000 has been designed with built-in safety devices to protect both the operator and
control panel in case of improper use and/or installation. These devices include an anti-misplug
terminal which can endure extremely high voltage and current ensuring the safety of both
operators as well as the control panel. Additionally the control panel has current limiting
protection for the power supply, protection circuits for communication devices, and special
grounding terminals provided within the cabinet.

6.2Usage and Maintenance

To ensure consistent and reliable operation the following items should be observed and
followed:
• The control panel must be installed and debugged by qualified technicians
• The operator on duty should be familiar with the current building structure as well as
understand all possible control panel events and operations
• An operator should monitor the control panel status to eliminate various trouble signals and
prevent alarm signals when possible
• If a power failure exceeds 8 hours, the reserve power supply should be disconnected to avoid
damage due to over-discharge
• If additional construction is performed in the protected building, shut down the control panel
to ensure fire detection capabilities are not compromised
• During any status other than operation (transportation, storage, etc), the reserve power supply
should be disconnected from the control panel

6.3Common Troubles
The N-6000 has advanced features such as self-diagnosis and self-protection; however even
with the advanced technology an occasional trouble signal is unavoidable. Table 5-1 has
additional information regarding common troubles.

6.4Transportation & Storage

After a post-factory inspection, the control panel can be stored. During storage the control
panel must be stored under normal atmospheric condition, ambient temperature and in a dry
room for a maximum of 6-months. During transportation the control panel must be kept
right-side up and protected from heavy overhead weight. The control panel can be transported
by train, truck, plane or ship.
Once the control panel has been opened, the user must use the control panel in accordance with
this manual. When used in conjunction with this manual all operation results will meet the
performance and functional requirements defined by this manual.

6.5Out-of-box Audit
When opening the control panel box for the first time the user should carry out an out-of-box
audit to ensure the control panel is complete, untouched and undamaged from transportation.
The control panel should include: a CPU, loop card, MCU, POM-8A, MPS-350W,
complement keys and connecting wires, etc.
Open the control panel door to ensure all internal connections are normal and that there are no
loose connections, short circuits and/or disconnected items. Check the power supply status to
ensure it is normal and does not have any short circuits, etc.
