Application

FireShield Plus provides smoke and fire detection, occupant notification and off-premises signaling for small to medium sized buildings.

The FireShield single-zone panel has one initiating device circuit (IDC) and one notification appliance circuit (NAC). The IDC can be configured for alarm, with or without alarm verification.

Each IDC on the 3, 5 and 10 zone can be configured for one of eight operating modes. The modes are:

• Alarm - without smoke detector verification
• Alarm - with smoke detector verification and instant activation of contact devices
• Waterflow alarm - no retard
• Waterflow alarm - with 15 second retard
• Combination waterflow (no retard) and supervisory
• Combination waterflow (retard) and supervisory
• Supervisory (latching)
• Monitor - for monitoring devices other than alarm or supervisory such as fire doors or fire dampers

NACs can be individually configured for one of three outputs. These are Genesis, Continuous or Temporal. The Genesis selection eliminates the need to install a Genesis Signal Master.

When configured for Genesis notification appliances the Alarm Silence function will silence any Genesis audible appliance but Genesis strobes will remain active until the panel is reset. Both the horns and strobes on Genesis notification appliances will be synchronized across all NACs when the Genesis mode is selected.

Overview

The FireShield Plus fire alarm family consists of 1, 3, 5 and 10 zone conventional fire alarm control panels, an integrated DACT/Dialer, serial annunciator modules and serial remote relay modules. All of these components are microprocessor controlled. The FireShield family is ideal for both new and retrofit installations.

FireShield incorporates features designed to simplify installation, operation and maintenance. These include front panel programming, one person walk testing, selectable IDC and NAC types.

FireShield is powerful enough to meet the demands of today’s installations. The FSP101 single zone power supply provides 1.0 amp of current for notification appliances (0.1 amps can be used for auxilary current). The 3, 5 and 10 zone panel power supplies provide 4.25 amps of current. 3.5 amps can be used for notification appliances and 0.5 amps can be used as auxiliary current. The 10 zone panel will support an additional 3.25A when an optional second transformer (P/N F-XTR120) is installed in the panel.

The 5 and 10 zone control panels can be configured for Class B and Class A operation.

The 1 and 3 zone control panels are configured for Class B operation only.

Remote Annunciator and Relays

The serial bus standard on FireShield models FSP302, FSP502 and FSP1004 is another installation time saver. This circuit allows the connection of Remote System Indicators. Remote Zone Indicators and Remote Relay Modules over a four-wire circuit (data and power). Annunciator and relay modules can be installed up to 1000 feet from the panel on 18-gauge wire. 

DACT/Dialer LCD Display

A fully integrated FireShield Plus DACT/dialer is available for reporting events to a monitoring facility. The F‑DACT also supports uploading or downloading of system configuration, status and event history. The F‑DACT is programmable for either single or dual line operation. It also supports split and dual reporting for two digital alarm receivers.

The F‑DACT brings additional features to the panel including a 32-character alphanumeric LCD display, local or remote PC programming and an event history log.

Remote Relay Module

The Remote Relay Module (FSRRM24) is one component of the system that sets FireShield Plus apart from other panels in its class. This module has five Form C relays rated at 1 amp each. It can be configured to function in either a zone relay mode or a common system mode.

When configured in the zone relay mode, relays energize when the associated IDC is active. The module can be configured for activation by IDCs 1 through 5 or IDCs 6 through 10. One relay is automatically associated with each IDC.

When configured in the common system mode, all 5 relays energize on alarm.

Remote Annunciators

The FireShield Plus family has several remote annunciation options. The serial remote annunciator bus can be run up to 1000 feet (305 m) on untwisted non-shielded 18-gauge cable. Several annunciator models round out the family to provide a range of features and functions. As many as three annunciator modules may be mounted in a standard electrical box, sharing an attractive trim plate that blends with any decor.
