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 systemtypically made up of
smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible
warning devices, and a fire alarm control panel with remote
notification capabilitycan 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.
The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detectors be located throughout a protected premise following the
recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire
Protection Association Standard 72 (NFPA 72), manufacturer's
recommendations, State and local codes, and the recommendations contained in the Guides for Proper Use of System
Smoke Detectors, which are made available at no charge to all
installing dealers. These documents can be found at http://
www.systemsensor.com/html/applicat.html. A study by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (an agency of the
United States government) indicated that smoke detectors
may not go off in as many as 35% of all fires. 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.
A second-floor detector, for example, may not sense a firstfloor or basement fire.
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.
IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in the
same room as the control panel and in rooms used by the system for the connection of alarm transmission wiring, communications, signaling, and/or power. 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.
Any warning device may fail to alert people with a disability or
those who have recently consumed drugs, alcohol or medication. 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 exercise to
make people aware of fire alarm signals and instruct them
on the proper reaction to alarm signals.
In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can

cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.
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 panel. 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, and UL and NFPA standards. At a minimum, the requirements of NFPA 72 shall be
followed. 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
monthly 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:
WARNING - 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 manuals are read and understood.
CAUTION - System Re-acceptance Test after Software
Changes: To ensure proper system operation, this product
must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 after any programming operation or change in site-specific software. Reacceptance testing is required after any change, addition or
deletion of system components, or after any modification,
repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring. 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.
This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0-49
C/32-120 F and at a relative humidity 93% 2% RH (noncondensing) at 32C 2C (90F 3F). However, the useful
life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic components may be adversely affected by extreme temperature
ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that this
system and its peripherals be installed in an environment with
a normal room temperature of 15-27 C/60-80 F.
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 interference, 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, or printed circuit board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Overtightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal
contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal.
This system contains static-sensitive components.
Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling any circuits so that static charges are removed from the
body. Use static suppressive packaging to protect electronic
assemblies removed from the unit.
Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and programming manuals. These instructions must be followed to
avoid damage to the control panel and associated equipment.
FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper installation.

Section 1
1.1 Introduction
The Gamewell-FCI, 7100 Series Fire Alarm Control panel is a multiprocessor-based configurable
system. To program the 7100 Series System, a software program named, 7100 Series Field Configuration Program (FCP-7100), is provided with the system. The FCP-7100 Program allows users to
create, edit, print and download custom configuration programming files to the 7100 Series System. It also offers users full-featured programming and simplifies the structuring of the 7100 Series
System program configuration. Configurations may be generated offline or off-site, then, downloaded to the 7100 Series System.
By building a FCP-7100 program configuration, the 7100 Series System can provide the following
features.
Optimize sensitivity of the sensors for the time of days, nights, week-ends and holidays.
Record recent fire alarm incidents and performance in the System Event History Log.
Program output devices to activate when an event triggers a fire alarm device.
To create an FCP-7100 program, do the following in sequence:
1. Select a project file name. (See Section 1.5.4)
2.
Use the default settings or define custom global parameters for the program.
(See Section 2.2.1)
3.
Program device types and Input/Output Groups for each address. (See Section 2.3.1)
4.
Enter labels and modify the default settings for the Loop devices. (See Section 2.6.3)
5.
Define and program Input/Output Groups and Cross Zone Settings. (See Section 2.4.1,
Section 2.5.1 and Section 2.6.2)
6.
Download the configuration project file to the 7100 Series System. (See Section 4.1)
Methods to Configure the FCP-7100 Program
1.2 Methods to Configure the FCP-7100 Program

You can use the FCP-7100 Program to configure the 7100 Series System by implementing input-tooutput relationships to respond to the system conditions.
For example, when a smoke detector (sensor-input device) goes into alarm, it displays on the 7100
Series fire alarm control panel. In the background, control modules (output devices) assigned to the
Input Group (that includes the same sensors), responds to the event (for example, triggering
elevator recall). If the alarm occurs during the day, the control module activates the panel to turn on
the General Outputs defined as a Day Alarm on the General Output List. This action then causes
the strobes or horns to go into alarm.
The input devices control the output devices using any of the following three methods:
General Output Lists
Input and Output Groups
Conditional Action Maps (CAMs)
1.2.1 General Output Lists

A General Output List is a method that allows you to define the response of each system output
device to the panels current condition or event. Each output device may be programmed to
activate under any combination of events or conditions. Output devices or modules (for
example, AOM-2Rs and AOM-2Ss) or built-in output devices, such as the Notification
Appliance Circuits (NAC circuits), can be programmed to activate under any of the following
events on a General Output List.
Day Alarm
Supervisory
Night Alarm
Walk Test/Drill
Trouble
Pre-Alarm Action
For example, if the Notification Appliance Circuits are linked to the Day Alarm and Night
Alarm events on the General Output List, the NACs will automatically activate upon an alarm
occurring during the scheduled day or night hours.
For additional information on output devices, refer to Section 2.3.2.
1.2.2 Input and Output Groups

Input and Output Groups is a method you can use to assign all individual input and output
devices in the 7100 Series program to one or more groups. An activation of any input device,
assigned to a group, automatically activates all output devices also assigned to that group.
For example, 10 sensors on SLC 1 could be assigned to Input Group 1, and 10 AOMs on SLC
1 could be assigned to Output Group 1. All output devices in Output Group 1 will activate
when Input Group 1 is triggered once any of its member sensors or AMMs are activated.
For additional information on input and output groups, refer to Section 3.1.2 and Section 3.1.3.
1.2.3 Conditional Action Maps (CAMs)

The Conditional Action Maps (CAMs) use information defined in the System Status Map
(SSM) to process logical results. A CAM is a collection of logic operations that takes input
from bit addresses in the System Status Map (SSM). The bit address numbers are referred to as
Groups throughout the FCP-7100 program.
Output devices on the 7100 Series fire alarm control panel can be assigned to a CAM
Controlled Output Group to enable full Boolean logic control. In this case, the output state
(active or inactive) is solely controlled by the CAM expression written for the selected output
group.
For additional information on Conditional Action Maps (CAMs), refer to Section 3.1.

Program Cross Zones
2.6 Program Cross Zones

The Program Cross Zones screen allows the user to configure the twenty-five (25) cross zones in
the 7100 System. There are two types of cross zones to configure.
Group Cross Zoning
Group Cross Zoning are input groups linked directly to a cross zone. When any device in an
input group goes into alarm, that one device counts towards the cross zones trigger level. If
another smoke detector in the same input group goes into alarm, the smoke detector in that
input group will not increase the trigger count. The cross zone trigger level increases only if a
smoke detector is a member of a different input group. The trigger level is the number of inputs
required to cause the cross zone to activate.
For example, if the first detector goes into alarm, the panel displays Action. If the second
detector goes into alarm, the panel triggers the cross zone alarm.
Point Cross Zoning
Point Cross Zoning are a collection of individual points configured into a virtual cross zone
group. It provides a two-stage alarm condition. The first alarm in the virtual group initiates an
Action condition. The second alarm is triggered when the number of alarms in the virtual cross
zone group reach the pre-set trigger-level.
The following settings can be defined for each cross zone.

Section 3
3.1 Conditional Action Maps (CAMs)
In the 7100 FACP System, there is a key programming feature called, CAM logic. This feature
enables the program connection between input groups (i.e., smoke detectors) and output groups
(i.e., relay switches). The input and output groups use bitmap coding based on the information
located in the System Status Map (SSM). A bitmap is a map of certain status flags, such as General
Alarm or Silenceable Outputs Active. This process is accomplished by using the Conditional
Action Map (CAM) logic. CAM logic is an optional method that allows the user to define
input/output relationships. You can also create direct input/output groups to be linked together.
A CAM is a collection of logic operations that takes input from bit addresses in the System Status
Map (SSM). The CAM modifies other System Status Map (SSM) bit addresses on the basis of the
results. The bit address numbers are referred to as Groups throughout the FCP-7100 Program.
On the 7100 Series System, Groups 125-224 are associated with the Output Group control.
For example, the true or false result of a CAM logic expression is used to control the associated
output group that can cause the physical device to turn on or off.
3.1.1 System Status Map (SSM)

The System Status Map (SSM) displays bitmaps that represent the following types of conditions or
events:
Alarm Groups
Trouble Groups
Common Mode Status
(General faults that occur with the panel)
Condition Flags
Input/Output Groups
The Input/Output Group numbers are simply aliases for the SSM bit addresses. The CAM logic on
a given panel can use any group (bit address number) in the entire SSM as part of a CAM logic
expression. For standalone 7100 Systems, all CAMs must refer to the 7100 panel as Node 0.
3.1.2 Input Groups

Input groups are alarm devices (for example, smoke detectors) that control output devices (for
example, relay controls). You can control outputs by creating General Output Lists, Input/Output
Groups or CAM controlled output groups. Each input device on the 7100 panel may be
programmed to trigger up to two local groups. In the System Status Map (SSM), these input groups
are labeled bit addresses and are assigned to the following two types of events.
Events
Alarm Bit #
Trouble Bit #
Groups
Input Group bit addresses (Group #s 1 to 99)
Input Group bit addresses (Group #s 101 to 199)
33
3.1.3 Output Groups

Output Groups are output devices (for example, relay controls) that are activated by an input group
(for example, pull station). Each output device may be configured to be activated by three outputs,
ten output groups or CAM controlled ouput groups. When an output group is activated by an input
group, the output group transmits an assigned System Status bit. The output groups are labeled bit
addresses and are assigned to the following two types of events
Events
Control Bit #
Trouble Bit #
Groups
Output Group bit addresses (Group #s 300 to 399)
Output Group bit addresses (Group #s 200 to 299)
NOTE: For additional information on the System Status Map (SSM), refer to the Online Help
Menu and select the System Status Map.
3.1.4 CAM Logic Expressions

A CAM logic expression consists of at least one instruction. However, a more typical CAM
expression includes several operands and one or more CAM logic operators (i.e., AND, OR, XOR,
NOT). The evaluation of these expressions is used to control the appropriate output. Each CAM
logic operator is given its own "symbol" in the FCP-7100 Program. Table 3.1.4.1 describes the
logic symbol conventions used by the FCP-7100 Program.
To add the CAM Logic Operator Symbol,
Symbol: enter the following keys
&
SHIFT-7 (standard 7)
|
SHIFT-\ (usually located above the <ENTER>
key)
NOT
~
SHIFT-` (located to the left of the 1 key)
XOR (Exclusive OR)
^

CAM Logic Operators
3.2 CAM Logic Operators

CAM Logic uses the following four logic operators that are labeled as follows:
AND
OR
Exclusive OR (XOR)
NOT
These operators are sometimes referred to as Gates. Gates is the term used for a hardware circuit
that performs a logic function. Section 3.2.1 thru Section 3.2.5 includes a short description of each
CAM Logic Operator.
3.2.1 AND (&) Gate

Use the AND Gate when it takes more than one input for an output to be TRUE on a CAM logic
expression.
For example, when two inputs are entered into the AND gate, the output is always FALSE (0).
However, if both inputs are TRUE (1), then the output of the AND Gate is TRUE. Table 3.2.1.1
lists a truth table for the AND gate:
A

Table 3.2.1.1 AND Gate Truth Table
3.2.2 OR (|) Gate

Use the OR Gate if any one input is TRUE, then the output is TRUE on a CAM logic expression.
For example, when two inputs are entered into the OR gate, the output is always TRUE (1) unless
both inputs are FALSE (0), then the output is FALSE (0).
Table 3.2.2.1 lists the truth table for the OR gate:

Table 3.2.2.1 OR Gate Truth Table
3.2.3 Exclusive OR (XOR) (^) Gate

Use the Exclusive Or (XOR) Gate if the inputs are the same, then the output is FALSE. To get a
TRUE output only one input can be TRUE on the CAM logic expression.
For example, when two inputs are entered into the XOR gate, the output is TRUE (1) when only
one of its inputs are TRUE (1).
Table 3.2.3.1 lists the truth table for the XOR gate:

CAM Logic Operators
3.2.4 NOT (~) Gate

Use the NOT Gate when you want the bit to be the opposite on the CAM logic expression. When an
input is entered into the NOT gate, the output is the opposite of that input.
For example, if the input is TRUE (1), the output is FALSE (0). If the input is FALSE (0), the
output is TRUE (1).
Table 3.2.4.1 lists the truth table for the NOT gate:

3.2.5 Parentheses
Use parentheses to define two (2) logic operators that combine a sequence of events. Although
parentheses are not logic operators, parentheses are useful in constructing logic expressions. Use
parentheses to break down complex CAM logic expressions into manageable pieces. Parentheses
can also be used to explicitly define the order that a CAM logic expression is evaluated. For
example, Table 3.2.5.1 is an example of a CAM logic expression without parentheses and with
parentheses.

5.
On the Download screen, enter the COM port to use in the Select COM Port field.
The COM port may range from COM1 to COM64.
The user may also choose to skip downloading portions of the configuration. There are two
scenarios where this feature may prove most useful:
Skipping Device Labels
If no changes have been made to the SLC device labels or the System ID label, the user may
uncheck the Download Device Labels option. The entire block of labels will not be
downloaded to the panel. This feature descreases the amount of time necessary for the
download.
Downloading only CAMs
If the user has made changes to only the panels CAM expressions, the user may uncheck
both the Download Device Labels option and the Download Configuration option. This
feature creates an extremely fast download.
