Section 1: Introduction 1.1 Scope This document describes the operation, installation and wiring of various Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) devices when used with the Fire-Lite MS-9200/MS-9200E, MS-9600/MS-9600E, MS- 9600LS/MS-9600LSC/MS-9600LSE, MS-9600UDLS/MS-9600UDLSE, MS-9200UD/MS- 9200UDE, MS-9200UDLS/MS-9200UDLSE/MS-9200UDLSC, and MS-9050UD/MS- 9050UDC/MS-9050UDE control panels. It also provides basic information that applies to Fire•Lite SLC loops in general, such as the branch resistance measurements.
1.2 Overview Communication between the control panel and intelligent addressable monitor and control devices takes place through a Signaling Line Circuit (SLC), which can be wired to meet the requirements of NFPA Style 4, Style 6, or Style 7. At least one secondary surge protector must be used with each SLC wiring pair whenever SLC wiring runs outside the building.
Isolator Modules permit a zone of detectors and modules to be fault isolated from the remainder of the SLC loop, allowing critical components to function in the event of a circuit fault. Isolator modules are required to meet the requirements of an NFPA Style 7 circuit.
W-GATE: The Wireless Gateway acts as a bridge between a group of wireless fire devices and a LiteSpeed SLC loop on the MS-9200UDLS. It is powered by the SLC loop or by a regulated, external 24VDC UL listed power supply. Available wireless devices include a photo detector, a photo/heat detector, a fixed-temperature heat detector, a rate-of-rise heat detector, and a monitor module.
1.6 SLC Performance SLC performance depends on the type of circuit (Style 4, Style 6, or Style 7) and the components on the circuit. NOTE: SLC operation meeting Style 7 requirements isolates each device on the SLC from faults that may occur within other areas of the SLC.
Section 2: Wiring Requirements 2.1 Wire Sizing The SLC requires use of a specific wire type, depending on the mode of operation, to ensure proper circuit functioning. Wire size should be no smaller than 18 AWG (0.75 mm ) and no larger than 12 AWG (3.25 mm...
Determine the total length in each SLC by summing the wire lengths of all branches of one SLC. In the following figure, the total length of the SLC is determined by adding the lengths of Branch A plus Branch B plus Branch C.
2.2.2 Four-Wire SLC Style 6 & 7 (Class A) Loop Resistance The total DC resistance of the SLC pair cannot exceed 40 ohms. Measure DC resistance as detailed and shown below. Disconnect the SLC channel B (Out) and SLC channel A (Return) at the control panel.
