The 3-ANNCPU1 Annunciator Controller module is the

control element for all the LCD and LED/Switch displays
in an enclosure. The 3-ANNCPU1 processes all control
information from switches on the displays installed within
the cabinet as well as processing the data received from
the network for display. The 3-ANNCPU1 contains 1MB
of RAM.
An internal calendar and clock with leap year function
provides date/time event stamping and initiates timed
events. The controller automatically identifies and
supervises all modules installed in the annunciator, and
has an integral watchdog to identify both hardware and
software faults.
The 3-ANNCPU1 communicates with other 3ANNCPU1s and 3-CPU1 Central Processors on the
network over a Class A or B RS-485 network data
circuit. The controller functions as the local bus master
and supervises all bus traffic between modules in the
cabinet.
The 3-ANNCPU1 module requires two spaces at the leftmost position of the enclosure. The controller is secured
to the inner door by two retainer brackets. All field wiring
connections to the 3-ANNCPU1 module are made via a
plug-in connector, permitting termination of field wiring
without the equipment installed in the enclosure. All
external connections are power- limited and transient
protected. The plug-in connector facilitates rapid remove
and replace troubleshooting without the use of tools.
Note: 3-CPU Boot and Application Code must be
version 1.33 or greater.

include local and remote voice paging, firefighter's telephone paging, and
an auxiliary audio input for non-emergency paging, etc. The 3-ASU
features an integral digital voice message playback unit that can
simultaneously provide up to 8 different audio signals. An integral audio
signal database is provided for the evacuation, alert and other functions.
Onboard memory is adequate for a total of 2 minutes of messages. With
the optional memory installed, up to 32 minutes of messages can be
stored. The audio source unit is comprised of the audio source electronics
package mounted in a chassis assembly and a cover assembly. The 3ASU has room to install an optional 4-space rail assembly, model 3CHAS4 or 3-FTCU Firefighter's Telephone Control Unit.
3-RCIC Rail Chassis Interface Card

3-ASU Audio Source Unit Cover Assembly
Controller Board
The 3-ASU converts and compresses the real-time audio signals to a

digital format. The eight digital signals are then combined together as a
single digital multiplex signal and distributed throughout the network. An
integral signal database may be configured with a wide selection of tones
and messages: steady, 3-3-3, electronic bell, 120 beats-per-minute, and
slow whoop. All tones are stored as digital signals within the 3-ASU. The
internal digital message/signal unit can simultanously play back up to
eight signals, as required by the system designer.

The Audio Source Unit with Firefighter's Telephone (3ASU/FT) is comprised of the 3-ASU Audio Source Unit and the
3-FTCU Firefighter's Telephone Control Unit mounted on a
common chassis. The Firefighter's Telephone option in
conjunction with the audio source unit provides the main
telephone riser. The 3-ASU/FT has provisions to use the
telephone circuit as an audio source for paging purposes. The
telephone circuit requires a separate hardwired riser and is not
multiplexed over the network audio riser. The riser is
supervised by the 3-ASU/FT. The 3-ASU/FT requires one
chassis space within an enclosure.
The 3-ASU/FT features an 8-line LCD display to show the user
the identity of up to 20 waiting calls and connected calls. To
answer a call, the operator scrolls the display cursor over the
waiting call's ID message and presses the connect switch. This
connects the caller and automatically transfers the caller's ID
message to the connected list. To end a call, the operator
scrolls the display cursor over the connected caller's ID
message and presses the disconnect switch. This disconnects
the caller and automatically transfers the caller's ID message
to the waiting call list, until the caller hangs up, when the ID
message is removed.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The 3-CAB series of equipment enclosure backboxes are made of
14-gauge steel and finished with a textured baked grey enamel. The
backboxes are designed for semi-flush or surface mounting. Conduit
and nail knockouts, keyhole style mounting holes, and wide wiring
troughs facilitate quick installation.
Chassis assembly design facilitates separation of power-limited and
nonpower-limited circuits inside the backbox by locating power-limited
wiring towards the front of the cabinet and nonpower-limited wiring
towards the rear.

The 3-CHAS7 chassis mounts to the back wall of 3-CAB7, 3-CAB14,

3-CAB21, RCC-7, RCC-14, and RCC-21 cabinets. Multiple 3-CHAS7
chassis are interconnected within a cabinet using the supplied cables.
The chassis are suitable for direct mounting in a standard EIA 19" rack.
INSTALLATION
Mount the chassis assembly on the six #6-32 studs at the rear of the
cabinet. Secure the chassis to the cabinet with the washers and nuts
provided. An 11/32" nut driver simplifies chassis installation.
If a primary or booster power supply is used with this chassis, mount the
heat sink on the four threaded stand-offs under the rails, then secure the
PC board to the four threaded stand-offs.
Connect the DC power cable (P/N 250187) to connector J2 on the power
supply. For the 3-PPS, connect the 16 pin data ribbon cable (P/N 250188)
to connector P3 on the power supply. For the 3-BPS, connect a 14 pin
data ribbon cable (P/N 250189) to connector P3 on the power supply.
Route both cables up through the rails for later connection to the power
supply/booster monitor module.
Chassis Power and Data Cables
When more than one chassis is installed within a single cabinet, the
chassis power and data circuits must be interconnected. The chassis has
four data connectors and four power connectors. The 3-CHAS7 has two
power (J8 AIN and J11 AOUT) and two data (J9 BIN and J11 BOUT)
connectors on the top rail. Two power (J8 CIN and J10 COUT) and two
data (J9 DIN and J11 DOUT) connectors are on the bottom rail, as shown
below.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
3-CPU1 Central Processor Module
The 3-CPU1 Central Processor module is the control element
for all other rail modules and contro/display modules installed
within an enclosure. The 3-CPU1 processes all information
from modules installed within the cabinet as well as data
received from other panels over the network data riser.
The 3-CPU1 has a 16-bit microprocessor and 1 MB of RAM
and 1 MB of non-volatile memory. An internal calendar/clock
with leap year function provides date/time event stamping and
initiates timed events. The 3-CPU1 automatically identifies and
supervises all modules installed on the rail chassis and has an
integral watchdog to identify both hardware and software
faults. The module has Form-C common alarm, trouble and
supervisory relay contacts that operate whenever any alarm,
supervisory, or fault condition is detected on the network.
The 3-CPU1 communicates with other CPU1 modules on the
network over an RS-485 or fiber optic network data circuit.
Class A or B wiring configuration may be used for the network
data circuit and digital audio circuits. An optically isolated RS232 port is provided for data upload/download and system
maintenance. An optional optically isolated RS-232 port card is
available to support a printer or an external command system.
The 3-CPU1 also provides the command and control functions
for the 8-channel audio subsystem installed on the rail
chassis.
The 3-CPU1 occupies the two left-most positions on the rail
chassis assembly (logical address 0). In this position it
functions as the local bus master and supervises all traffic on
the rail bus and implements ground fault detection.
The controller is secured to the rail chassis using snap rivet
fasteners. All field wiring connections to the 3-CPU1 module
are made via plug-in connectors that permit termination of
field wiring without removing the module from the enclosure.
All external connections are power-limited and transient
protected. The plug-in connectors and snap rivet mounting
also facilitate rapid remove and replace troubleshooting. The
3-CPU1 module panel provides support brackets for mounting
the 3-LCD displayor a protective cover plate.
3-LCD Main LCD Display for the 3-CPU1
The 3-LCD Display provides the operator interface for the
network. The 3-LCD mounts on the 3-CPU1 panel support
brackets and is connected to the module with a ribbon cable.
Only one 3-LCD Display is required to provide point of control
for the entire network. Additional displays may be added to
any3-CPU1 module located throughout the network, providing
an additional point of control and/or annunciation.
The display provides a 64 by 128-pixel back-lit liquid crystal
display for displaying text. LEDs are provided for: power, test,
CPU fail, ground fault and disable functions. Switches with
integral LED feedback are provided for reset, trouble silence,
alarm silence, and drill functions. Message queue select
switches with integral LEDs are provided for the alarm,
supervisory, trouble, and monitor message queues. Next and
Previous message queue switches scroll through the selected
message queue. The display is also equipped with a 10-digit
numeric key pad with enter and delete keys.
Note: 3-CPU1 Boot and Application code must be

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The 3-FIB and 3-FIBA fiber optic communications interface
modules are used to connect two 3-CPU1 panel controllers
together.
The 3-FIB module provides two supervised Class B (Style 4)
fiber optic circuits; one for network data communications and
the other for network audio. The 3-FIBA module provides two
fiber optic circuits for Class B (Style 4) or Class A (Style 7)
network data communications and two fiber optic circuits for
Class B (Style 4) or Class A (Style 7) network audio
communications.
Note: The 3-FIBA does not provide Class A audio when used
with a 3-CPU panel controller module. The 3-FIBA only provides
Class A audio when used with a 3-CPU1.
Each fiber optic circuit consists of two 62.5/125 or 100/140
multimode fiber optic cables. The 3-FIB/3-FIBA also supports
copper wire connections so the network data and audio
communications format can easily be changed to and from
copper and optical fiber, as job conditions require.
The fiber optic interface module consists of two cards. The
electronics card plugs into the rear of the 3-CPU1 panel
controller. The electronics card is connected to the fiber card by
a ribbon cable. The fiber card mounts below the 3-CHAS7
chassis. The fiber card provides type ST fiber optic connectors
and a secondary power option, permitting communications to
flow through the module, even with panel power disconnected.
The interface receives and re-transmits network and audio data
information. This permits a fiber optic budget of 14dB between
any two interfaces. In the event a panel needs to be powered
down for service, a 24V battery can be connected to the module
to maintain network and audio communications during servicing.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
The Traditional Zone module provides eight Class B (Style B)
traditional direct connect Initiating Device Circuits (IDC) for
compatible 2-wire smoke detectors and dry contact initiating
devices. Four of the eight IDCs may be converted to Class B
(Style Y) Notification Appliance Circuits (NAC). Each pair of
NAC circuits may be configured to provide a 24 VDC or
signals from an external source for audio and telephone
applications.
Each IDC may be set for latching/non-latching operation and
verified/non-verified operation. Each IDC can support up to
30 model 6270B photoelectric smoke detectors or 50 model
6250B ionization detectors. Each NAC is rated at 24 VDC @
3.5 A or 70 Vrms @ 100 W. 24 VDC power for the notification
appliances is available directly from the rail chassis. NOTE:
Each NAC pair is limited to a total of 3.5 A per two circuits.
When the rail chassis is used as the 24 VDC source, the
module is limited to a 7 A total current draw. Input terminals
are provided to supply the external signal source.
The Traditional Zone module requires one connection on the
rail chassis and is secured to the assembly using snap rivet
fasteners. All field wiring connections to the Traditional Zone
module are made via plug-in connectors, permitting
termination of field wiring without the module installed in the
enclosure. The plug-in connectors and snap rivet mounting
also facilitate rapid remove and replace troubleshooting
without the use of tools. The module features a hinged front
panel for mounting displays or a blank protective faceplate.
INSTALLATION
If a Control/LED Display is required on this module, mount it in the
recess on the front of the module. Secure the display to the
module with the four supplied plastic rivets. Connect the display
ribbon cable (P/N 250186) from connector J1 on the display to
connector P1 on the module.
The 3-IDC8/4 has four dedicated Class B Initiating Device Circuits
(IDCs) labeled IDC3 & IDC4, and IDC7& IDC8. The module also
has two pairs of configurable Class B circuits. IDC/NAC1/2 and
IDC/NAC5/6 are configurable as either two Initiating Device
Circuits or two Notification Appliance circuits (NACs). When
configured as NACs, circuits IDC/NAC1 and IDC/NAC2 share a
common signal source. When configured as NACs, circuits
IDC/NAC5 and IDC/NAC6 share a common signal source. Two
jumpers on the module select the signal source for each pair of
NACs. Set jumpers JP1, JP2, JP3, & JP4, then install the module
on the rail. The jumpers have no effect when IDC/NAC circuits are
used as input circuits.
Before connecting the Traditional I/O Zone Module to the field
wiring, test the field wiring. When a circuit checks out properly,
connect it to the appropriate terminals. Polarity for NAC circuits is
indicated for normal monitoring of the circuit's electrical integrity.
TB1 and TB2 are removable for ease of wiring. All wiring is power
limited and should be routed through the notches at the right front
of the chassis.
Close the module display door. Latch the door by sliding the upper
latch up and the lower latch down.

TROUBLE RELAY/JUMPER SETUP
PRODUCT INFORMATION
The Off Premise Signaling module provides three
independent reverse polarity circuits for transmitting
alarm, supervisory, and trouble signals to compatible
receivers. Reversing a circuit's polarity indicates an
active alarm condition; loss of circuit continuity indicates
circuit trouble. As an alternate to three independent
circuits, the reverse polarity alarm circuit may be
configured to transmit panel trouble by removing circuit
continuity, when using a compatible single circuit reverse
polarity receiver. A supervised local energy master box
trip circuit is also provided to activate a 14.5-ohm master
box trip coil. A configurable NO/NC trouble contact is
provided on the module.
The 3-OPS module requires one connection on the rail
chassis and is secured to the assembly using snap rivet
fasteners. All field wiring connections to the 3-OPS
module are made via plug-in connectors, permitting
termination of field wiring without the module installed in

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
3-PPS/M and 3-PPS/M-230 primary power supply
The 3-PPS/M(-230) primary power supply provides the required power
and related supervision functions for the panel. The supply is comprised of
two major components: the power supply monitor module, model 3PSMON, which mounts on the rail chassis, and the heat sink assembly,
model 3-PPS, which mounts on the rear of the rail chassis. The primary
power supply provides filtered, regulated power to power all modules
connected to the rail chassis as well as 24 Vdc for auxiliary applications.
The primary power supply is rated at 24 Vdc @ 7.0A for all outputs. Two
independent, power limited, supervised 24 Vdc, 3.5 A auxiliary power
outputs are provided on the primary supply. 24 Vdc auxiliary output is
available on plug-in terminals on the primary power supply module. AC
power and battery connections are made to fixed terminals on the heat
sink assembly, remote from the panel's power limited wiring.
The primary power supply supervises the standby batteries and provides a
dual rate constant current battery charger featuring automatic temperature
compensation. The charger is capable of charging batteries up to 65 Ah. A
battery monitor circuit disconnects the batteries from the system when
battery voltage drops below acceptable limits, which prevents memory
problems and a total discharge of the batteries.
The power supply checks the ac input source and initiates the automatic
transfer to batteries in the event of a brownout or loss of ac power. In the
event of a failure of one or more booster power supplies, the primary power
supply determines its ability, along with the surviving booster supplies, to
supply the load. Should the load ever exceed the ability of the primary and
surviving booster supplies to meet the demand, the standby batteries are
automatically switched in. The supply will transfer to battery should an
overload cause its heat sink temperature to reach a high level.
The 3-PPS/M (-230) offers a comprehensive level of supervision. Dynamic
battery load testing periodically disables the battery charger, loads the
battery, then monitors the battery voltage over a predetermined time
period. Battery failure is annunciated if the battery fails to maintain an
acceptable voltage level. Load testing continues periodically, until the
battery capacity is sufficient to meet the load test criteria.
The primary power supply monitor module provides the interface between
the power supply and the panel making the required data and power
connections to and from the rail chassis. The monitor module requires one
connection on the rail chassis and is secured to the assembly using snap
rivet fasteners. The module features a hinged front panel for mounting
displays or a blank protective faceplate.

The 3-BPS/M(-230) power supply booster module is used to provide

additional power over and above the primary power supply. Up to three
additional 24 Vdc, 7.0 A power boosters may be added in each enclosure,
making a total of 28A available for both internal and external applications.
The power supply booster is comprised of two major components: the
booster monitor module which mounts on the rail chassis, and the heat
sink assembly, which mounts on the rear of the rail chassis. Each booster
provides filtered, regulated power to power all modules connected to the
rail chassis as well as 24 Vdc for auxiliary applications. Each booster is
rated at 24 Vdc @ 7.0 A for all outputs. Two independent, power limited,
supervised 24 Vdc, 3.5 A auxiliary power outputs are provided on the
booster. The power boosters share a common standby battery with the
primary power supply. Each booster supervises its own connection to the
battery, however, all battery charging and monitoring is done by the
primary power supply. The power supply boosters share the panel's 24
Vdc electrical load with the primary power supply. In the event of a failure
of a booster power supply, a trouble is annunciated, and the panel load is
distributed among the operational power sources. Should the load ever
exceed the ability of the operable power sources to supply the power, as in
the event of an alarm, the system will automatically transfer to standby
batteries.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The primary power supply supervises the standby batteries and provides a
dual rate constant current battery charger featuring automatic temperature
compensation. The charger is capable of charging batteries up to 17 Ah. A
battery monitor circuit disconnects the batteries from the system when
battery voltage drops below acceptable limits, which prevents memory
problems and a total discharge of the batteries.
The power supply checks the ac input source and initiates the automatic
transfer to batteries in the event of a brownout or loss of ac power. In the
event of a failure of one or more booster power supplies, the primary power
supply determines its ability, along with the surviving booster supplies, to
supply the load. Should the load ever exceed the ability of the primary and
surviving booster supplies to meet the demand, the standby batteries are
automatically switched in. The supply will transfer to battery should an
overload cause its heat sink temperature to reach a high level.
The primary power supply monitor module provides the interface between
the power supply and the panel making the required data and power
connections to and from the rail chassis. The monitor module requires one
connection on the rail chassis and is secured to the assembly using snap
rivet fasteners. The module features a hinged front panel for mounting
3-BPS/M-230-E Booster power supply
The 3-BPS/M-230-E booster power supply is used to provide additional
power over and above the primary power supply. Up to three additional 24
Vdc, 7.0 A power boosters may be added in each enclosure, making a total
of 28A available for both internal and external applications. The power
supply booster is comprised of two major components: the booster monitor
module which mounts on the rail chassis, and the heat sink assembly,
which mounts on the rear of the rail chassis. Each booster provides filtered,
regulated power to power all modules connected to the rail chassis as well
as 24 Vdc for auxiliary applications. Each booster is rated at 24 Vdc @ 7.0
A for all outputs. Two independent, power limited, supervised 24 Vdc, 3.5 A
auxiliary power outputs are provided on the booster. The power boosters
share a common standby battery with the primary power supply. Each
booster supervises its own connection to the battery, however, all battery
charging and monitoring is done by the primary power supply. The power
supply boosters share the panel's 24 Vdc electrical load with the primary
power supply. In the event of a failure of a booster power supply, a trouble
is annunciated, and the panel load is distributed among the operational
power sources. Should the load ever exceed the ability of the operable
power sources to supply the power, as in the event of an alarm, the system
will automatically transfer to standby batteries.
The power supply booster monitor module provides the interface between
a power supply booster and the panel, making the required data and power
connections to and from the rail chassis. The booster monitor module
requires one connection on the rail chassis and is secured to the assembly
using snap rivet fasteners. The module features a hinged front panel for

The 3-PPS/M-230-E primary power supply provides the required power

and related supervision functions for the panel. The supply is comprised of
three major components: the power supply monitor module, model 3PSMON, which mounts on the rail chassis, and the heat sink assembly,
model 3-PPS, which mounts on the rear of the rail chassis, and the ac
power distribution assembly. The primary power supply provides filtered,
regulated power to power all modules connected to the rail chassis as well
as 24 Vdc for auxiliary applications. The primary power supply is rated at
24 Vdc @ 7.0A for all outputs. Two independent, power-limited, supervised
24 Vdc, 3.5 A auxiliary power outputs are provided on the power supply
monitor module. AC power and battery connections are made to fixed
terminals on the heat sink assembly, remote from the panel's power limited
wiring.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
The 3-SSDC Single Signature Driver Controller module
provides one Class A or Class B Signature data circuit
for Signature Series detectors and modules. The
module also provides a connection for powering
conventional 2-wire smoke detector circuits on
Signature Series modules.
The 3-SSDC module supports the full complement of
Signature diagnostic features including mapping. The
module features a hinged front panel for mounting
The 3-SSDC module requires one connection on the rail
chassis and is secured to the rail assembly using snap
rivet fasteners. All field wiring connections are made via

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The model 3-ZA20A/B and 3-ZA40A/B audio amplifiers demultiplex the 8
multiplexed audio signals on the network audio riser. Under command of
the network, 1 of the 8 available signals is distributed over the speaker
circuit. Command and control signals for the amplifier are sent and
received via the network data riser in response to network programming.
Amplifers are in 20- and 40-Watt, Class A and Class B versions.
Supervised, power-limited 25 Vrms or 70 Vrms outputs are available on
both versions. Amplifiers use a Class D switch mode design to provide
better than 80% efficiency. Each amplifier's output is directly wired to a
single speaker zone.
Each amplifier has a 1 kHz temporal (3-3-3) tone generator for use as an
evacuation signal in the event of a fault with the network audio circuit. A
standby amplifier may be configured for automatic replacement of any
online amplifier configuration, in the event of an online amplifier failure.
The standby amplifier must be the same wattage as the largest amplifier
within the enclosure. The amplifiers draw power from the primary and
booster power supplies which must be sized according to the enclosure
electrical load.
Each amplifier is also provided with an independently controlled
supervised, power limited 24 VDC Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC)
rated at 3.5 A. This facilitates the addition of visual notification appliances
to audio notification circuits.
Each amplifier requires one LRM space on the rail chassis and is secured
to the assembly using snap rivet fasteners. All field wiring connections to
the amplifier module are made via plug-in connectors, permitting
termination of field wiring without the module installed in the enclosure.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
SPECIFICATIONS
The IOP3A isolator card is designed to electrically isolate

a fire alarm control panel's RS-232 ports from peripheral
devices. The IOP3A provides two isolated RS232
connections, as well as a DB9 and RJ12 connector for
downloading. A select mode allows both a printer and
modem to be connected when used on EST2 systems.
The IOP3A should be used in ALL applications which
require the connection of external devices (CCA, CGP,
VDU, and external modems) to properly isolate the fire
alarm control panel from earth ground connections.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SIGA-AAXX is a high-efficiency, dual-input, switch-mode audio
amplifier. The amplifier comes in two versions: 30 watt (SIGA-AA30) and
50 watt (SIGA-AA50), and has both 1 V and 25 V input levels. The
output is supervised, power-limited, and user-selectable for 25 Vrms or
70 Vrms output voltage.
An integral Signature module under software control selects the amplifier
input channel. The amplifier reports its status to the Main Controller
Module to reduce the need for additional field wiring. The amplifier also
features a backup amplifier connection, which supports one-to-one or
banked backup amplifiers.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SIGA-APS is a switch-mode auxiliary power
supply designed to provide additional power for audio
components and external Notification Appliance
Circuits (NACs). The power supply monitors the AC
line, performs ground fault testing, and charges
batteries (up to 10 Ah). The SIGA-APS also provides a
smooth and uninterrupted transition to batteries in the
event of an AC power loss.
All trouble conditions detected by the SIGA-APS are
transmitted to the fire alarm control panel through its
connection to the Signature Data Circuit (SDC),
eliminating the need for additional devices. All
connections intended to leave the cabinet are fully
protected against direct and induced transient voltage
conditions.

The XLS-CAB5(R) cabinet provides 5 local rail module

(LRM) spaces and up to 10 amp-hour standby batteries.
The XLS-CAB5(R) cabinet is made of 14 gauge steel and
finished with a textured baked enamel. The enclosure is
suitable for semi-flush or surface mounting. Conduit and
nail knockout keyhole style mounting holes and wide
wiring troughs facilitate quick installation. Cabinet design
facilitates separation of power limited and non-power
limited circuits by locating power limited circuitry toward
the front of the cabinet and non-power limited wiring at the
rear of the cabinet. The removable exterior door mounts
TM
on the left side of the cabinet, has a Lexan
viewing
window, and is secured with a key lock. A hinged interior
door panel isolates the operator from the internal
electronics and wiring, yet easily opens to reveal the
system components for maintenance.

POWER LIMITED AND NON-POWER LIMITED WIRING REQUIREMENTS

Fire Alarm System wiring is classified as either
Power Limited or Non-Power Limited per NEC
Article 760. All power limited wiring must be
separated from all non-power limited wiring by a
minimum distance of 1/4 in (6 mm). The system
enclosures and chassis assemblies are designed
such that non-power limited wiring is at the left rear
of the cabinet and the power limited wiring is at the
front of the cabinet. When installing non-power
limited wiring, use the feed through notches at the
left rear of the chassis. When installing power
limited wiring, use the feed through notches at the
right front of the chassis.
