F-DACT1(F) FCC information


Cautions
To ensure proper operation, this dialer must be installed according to the enclosed installation instructions. To
verify that the dialer is operating properly and can successfully report an alarm, it must be tested immediately
after installation, and periodically thereafter, according to the enclosed test instructions.
In order for the dialer to be able to seize the phone line to report an alarm or other event when other customer
equipment (telephone, answering system, computer modem, etc.) connected to the same line is in use, the dialer
must be connected to a properly installed RJ-31X jack. The RJ-31X jack must be connected in series with, and
ahead of, all other equipment attached to the same phone line. Series installation of an RJ-31X jack is depicted in
the wiring diagram. If you have any questions concerning these instructions, you should consult your telephone
company or a qualified installer.

Testing
When programming emergency numbers or making test calls to emergency numbers, remain on the line and
briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call. Perform programming and testing activities in the off-peak
hours, such as early morning or late evenings.

P/N 3101018-EN • REV 06 • ISS 08DEC16 iii


Compliance requirements
For equipment approved before July 23, 2001: This dialer complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. A label
attached to the dialer contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence
number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.
For equipment approved after July 23, 2001: This dialer complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the
requirements adopted by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). A label attached to the
dialer contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this
information must be provided to the telephone company.
The plug and jack used to connect the dialer to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the
applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by ACTA. The dialer must be connected to a compliant
RJ-31X or RJ-38X jack using a compliant cord. If a modular telephone cord is supplied with the dialer, it is
designed to meet these requirements. See installation instructions for details.
A ringer equivalence number (REN) is used to determine how many devices you can connect to a telephone line.
If the total REN value for all devices connected on a telephone line exceeds that allowed by the telephone
company, the devices may not ring on an incoming call. In most (but not all) areas the total REN value should not
exceed 5.0. To be certain of the total REN value allowed on a telephone line, contact the local telephone
company.
For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN is part of the product identifier in the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits ## represent the REN without a decimal point. Example: 03 is an REN of 0.3.
For earlier products the REN is listed separately.
If the dialer is harming the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary
discontinuance of service may be required. If advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify you
as soon as possible. You will also be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC, if you believe it is
necessary.
The telephone company may make changes to its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could
affect the operation of the dialer. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for

Operating the panel

Resetting the panel


WARNING: Notification appliances should not be silenced until the building is fully evacuated and the cause of
the alarm has been determined.

Pressing Reset restores the control panel to the normal state provided there are no active devices on a circuit.
When you reset the panel:
• All LEDs on the panel turn on for five seconds
• The trouble and power LEDs remain on for an additional 15 seconds
• When reset is complete, the buzzer sounds (then turns off) and the trouble LED turns off
While the control panel is resetting:
• All panel indicators are temporarily cleared
• All notification appliances are turned off
• All latched IDCs are cleared
• Alarm, trouble, and supervisory relays are returned to the inactive state
• Resettable auxiliary power momentarily turns off
At the conclusion of the reset, if an IDC is in an off-normal state, the panel treats the event as a new event and
activates the programmed responses. Pressing Disable for the active IDC within 30 seconds after the panel has
reset turns off the NACs and disables the IDC.
If one or more IDCs are disabled prior to initiation of the reset, those IDCs remain disabled.
If signal silence inhibit or reset inhibit is enabled, system reset is inhibited during the silence or reset inhibit period.

To reset the panel:


1. Press the Reset button.

Chapter 2: Installation

Installing the F-DACT1(F)


The F-DACT1(F), also called the dialer, is a digital alarm communicator transmitter (DACT). The dialer transmits
event activation and restoration codes to a compatible digital alarm communicator receiver (DACR) over standard
loop-start telephone lines. The dialer is capable of split reporting to two different accounts and telephone
numbers.
In addition to the dialer functions, the F-DACT1(F) provides:
• An alphanumeric LCD to display system messages and programming prompts
• An event history log of panel and DACT events, viewable through compatible software
Note: The F-DACT1(F) modem is only rated for 2400 baud communication. Some PC modems may not be
compatible with this baud rate.
• A modem for uploading and downloading panel configuration, history, and current status to a PC running
compatible software
The F-DACT1(F) can be programmed to operate as a single- or dual-line DACT/Modem/LCD display, a
Modem/LCD display, or an LCD display only.

NFPA 72 compliance requirements


For the dialer to be NFPA 72 CS compliant, the following conditions are required:
• The factory installed warning label must be removed from the F-DACT1(F)’s LINE 2 phone jack.
• A second phone line, independent of that used for line one must be connected to the F-DACT1(F)’s LINE 2
phone jack.
• The F-DACT1(F) must be programmed to transmit a test signal at least once every 24 hours.
In addition, NFPA 72 requires that you perform a reacceptance test after you make any changes to the panel
programming (also called the site-specific software). See NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm Code for testing
requirements.
For additional download security, the F-DACT1(F) can be programmed to perform a callback function.

Receiver compatibility
For receiver compatibility, see F-Series Compatibility List (P/N 3101019-EN).

Connecting an auxiliary/booster power supply


The control panel can provide up to 0.5 A of AUX power to operate ancillary equipment. For example, remote
modules and graphic annunciator cards. If more than 0.5 A is required, you must use a power-limited and
regulated 24 VDC auxiliary/booster power supply that is UL/ULC Listed for fire protective signaling systems to
power all or some of the ancillary equipment.
Connect an auxiliary/booster supply to the control panel as shown in Figure 7.

Chapter 3: Panel programming

Enabling passcode protection


Passcode protection prevents unauthorized access to the panel’s programming. The default passcode is 1111.
This option is only available when a dialer is installed.

To enable passcode protection:


1. Select the Enable Passcode option.
2. Enter Yes.

Changing the passcode


After enabling the passcode, you should change it at your earliest convenience. Write down the new passcode
and store it in a safe place.
This option is only available when a dialer is installed and the passcode is enabled.

To change the passcode:


1. Select the Edit Passcode option.
2. Enter the new passcode.
A passcode consists of four characters. Valid characters are the numbers 0 to 9 and the letters A to F.

Detecting remote modules


Use the Find Peripherals option to detect which remote modules are connected to the control panel when you first
configure the control panel and anytime you add or remove remote modules from the system.
Note: Do not remove the jumper on J3 (PRG) until the control panel has completed the detection process. If you
do, you must remove all power from the panel before you can enter local programming mode again.

To detect remote modules:


1. Select the Find Peripherals option.
2. Enter Yes.
The bottom status LEDs will flash until the control panel has completed the detection process. This may take
up to 40 seconds. When finished, the control panel displays how many remote modules were detected, as
shown in Table 10.

Chapter 3: Panel programming

The panel program options are described below.


Panel Op Mode: Determines the basic operation of the control panel. The values that you can select are:
• FACP: Panel operates as a fire alarm control panel. By default, all initiating device circuits are latching alarm
circuits. A manual reset is required to return the panel to normal.
• FACOM: Panel operates as a dialer for fire alarm control panels that do not have a dialer. By default, all
initiating device circuits are nonlatching alarm circuits. The control panel resets automatically after the central
station receiver acknowledges that it received all events from the control panel.
• Sprinkler Supv: Panel operates as an unattended sprinkler supervisory panel. For alarm and waterflow
events, the panel operates as a fire alarm control panel. For all other events, the control panel resets
automatically after the central station receiver acknowledges that it has received all events from the control
panel.
Note: The panel operating mode option is only available when an F-DACT1(F) is installed. By default, the panel
operates as a fire alarm control panel.
Rst/Sil Inhibit: Determines how long you must wait after an alarm event before you can silence notification
appliances or reset the control panel. You can select None (to silence notification appliances or reset the control
panel immediately) or 1 minute.
AC Fail Delay: Determines how long the panel must be without AC power or a remote AC fail zone type must be
active before the dialer transmits an AC fail event. You can select between 0 and 15 hours.
Note: To meet UL 864 requirements, set AC Fail Delay for 1, 2, or 3 hours.
WF Retard/Delay: Determines how long a waterflow switch must be closed before a waterflow-retard or a
waterflow-retard/supervisory zone type is activated. You can select between 0 and 150 seconds.
Note: To meet NFPA 72 2002 edition requirements, set WF Retard/Delay between 0 and 90 seconds.
Disable Lockout: Determines which control panel buttons are inoperable (locked out). The values that you can
select are:
• None: No buttons are locked out.
• All: Remote Disconnect button, IDC Disable buttons, and NAC Disable buttons.
• IDC/NAC: Only IDC Disable buttons and NAC Disable buttons.
• Rem Disconnect: Only the Remote Disconnect button.
RRM Multi Mode: Determines how relays on an FSRRM24 configured for programmable operation (jumper
installed on JP2) are programmed. The values that you can select are:
• Common Alarm: Relays are automatically programmed to energize on any alarm event.

Chapter 4: Dialer programming

Before you begin


Programming the F-DACT1(F) sets up the dialer for communication with the central monitoring station. It also sets
a number of other options such as date, time, phone numbers, etc. Many of the options have default settings,
which are detailed below.

Programmable features
Here are some of the dialer’s programmable features:
• Passcode protection: Prevents unauthorized access to the panel’s programming.
• Daylight saving time: Determines how much the system clock is adjusted for daylight saving time and when
it is adjusted.
• Dialer operating mode: Determines if the F-DACT1(F) operates as a dual- or single-line dialer, a modem, or
only an LCD text display.
• Blind call dialing: Determines if the F-DACT1(F) can dial out without waiting for a dial tone.
• Callback security: Prevents someone at another location from dialing into your control panel to access
information.
You can only program this feature using the software configuration utility:
• Swinger shutdown: Limits the number of consecutive identical events transmitted for the same point.

Entering and exiting dialer program mode


Dialer program mode provides a separate set of options just for the dialer. It is only available when a dialer is
installed.

To enter dialer program mode:


1. Install the jumper on J3 (PRG).
The panel status LEDs start flashing to indicate local program mode is activated.
2. If passcode protection is enabled, enter the passcode.
3. Select the Program DACT option. The quickest way is to press Signal Silence & Alarm On then Remote
Disconnect.
4. Enter Yes.

To exit dialer program mode:


1. Remove the jumper from J3 (PRG).
The panel automatically resets after the jumper on J3 is removed.

Chapter 5: Maintenance

Preventive maintenance
Before commencing testing, notify all areas where the alarm sounds and off-premises locations that receive alarm
and trouble transmissions that testing is in progress.
Records of all testing and maintenance must be kept as required by the authority having jurisdiction.
Required tools:
• Slotted screwdriver, insulated
• Digital multimeter
• 1.1 kΩ, 1 W resistor
• 12 in (30.5 cm) jumper lead with alligator clips
• Panel door key
• Sound-level meter
A complete check of installed field wiring and devices should be made at regular intervals in accordance with
NFPA 72, Canadian Electrical Code Part I, ULC S524, and ULC S536 requirements. This includes testing all
alarm and supervisory initiating devices and circuits and any off-premises connections.
Panel operation should be verified in the alarm, supervisory, and trouble modes.
To ensure that the panel can operate correctly when primary power is lost, the batteries should be inspected and
tested periodically. Batteries should be replaced (at a minimum) every four years.

Preventive maintenance schedule


Refer to NFPA 72, Canadian Electrical Code Part I, ULC S524, or ULC S536 for more information on required
inspection and testing methods and frequency of fire alarm systems and devices. For detector sensitivity and
functionality testing, refer to the detector manufacturer’s installation instructions.

Canadian tests for grounds, opens, and shorts


ULC requires that you test ground fault, open circuit, and short circuit indications.
For ground fault tests, short one leg of the circuit to chassis ground and verify that the system Ground Fault LED
and Trouble LEDs turn on.
For NAC and IDC open circuit tests, remove the end-of-line resistor from the last device on the circuit and verify
that the system Trouble LED and the circuit’s trouble (TBL) LED turn on.
For NAC short circuit testing, place a short across the NAC output terminals and verify that the system Trouble
LED and the circuit’s trouble (TBL) LED turn on.

Caution: Do not place the short across the 24VAC IN terminals.

For AUX power short circuit testing, place a short across the AUX power output’s plus (+) and minus (−) terminals
and verify that the system Trouble LED turns on.
For communications testing, place a short across C+ and C− and verify that the system Trouble LED and Annun
Trouble LED turn on.

Chapter 5: Maintenance

Performing a walk test


A walk test lets you test initiating device circuits (IDCs) without having to create an actual alarm condition. IDCs
should be placed in walk test one at a time. This allows the rest of the system to remain in service. Walk test will
not operate with an active alarm or supervisory event at the panel.
You can conduct a walk test in silent or audible mode. In silent mode, the audible devices (NACs) do not sound.
In audible mode, the NACs sound for a number of times equal to the zone number. Example: three times for
IDC 3.

WARNING: If you cancel a walk test with a device in the active state, the control panel will activate the
programmed responses for that device. Do not cancel a walk test when the Trouble LED for the IDC under test is
flashing rapidly.

In a walk test, the panel responds to the first signal it receives and ignores all others on that IDC until it clears that
signal or the panel is reset. The input must be restored to the normal state before the next input is tested. When
the input is restored, the panel automatically resets the circuit being tested. The automatic reset takes eight
seconds. After the circuit is reset, the next device can be tested.
The panel terminates the walk test if:
• A zone other than the zone being tested is activated
• There are 30 minutes of inactivity on the zone being tested
• The panel is reset
• The Walk Test button is pressed a third time
When you press Walk Test:
• The Walk Test LED turns on or flashes depending if you selected a silent or audible walk test, respectively
• The panel enters the trouble state
• There is no fire protection for the IDC in walk test
If an unselected IDC goes into alarm or trouble, all outputs operate as programmed.
The IDC you are testing behaves as follows:
• The appropriate panel, FSRSI, and FSRZI-A LEDs and buzzers are turned on.
• In the audible test mode, the notification appliances sound for a number of times equal to the zone number.
• After activation, the panel resets the IDC. During the reset period (approximately eight seconds), the IDC
trouble LED flashes rapidly. If the device being tested is not restored, the IDC does not reset and the LED
continues to flash. If the device is restored (no alarm is present), the panel is ready to test another device or
detector.
• Resettable auxiliary power is deactivated while the zone is reset.
• Input zones programmed as waterflow with retard require 10 to 15 seconds of activation to initiate the test
signals.
• For trouble events, the appropriate LEDs and the buzzers are turned on. In the audible (NAC) test mode a
one-second pulse sounds on the audible devices. After sounding, the zone resets in preparation for continued
testing.
• For ground fault events, the appropriate LEDs and the buzzers are turned on. In the audible (NAC) test mode
a one-second pulse sounds on the audible devices. After sounding, the zone resets in preparation for
continued testing.

Notification appliance circuit calculations

Introduction
This topic shows you how to determine the maximum cable length of a notification appliance circuit (NAC) for a
given number of appliances.
Two methods are presented: worksheet and equation. The worksheet method is simpler, but your installation
must meet the criteria listed on the worksheet. If your installation does not meet these criteria, you need to use
the equation method.
The methods given here determine cable lengths that work under all operating conditions. The calculations
ensure that the required operating voltage and current will be supplied to all notification appliances. To do this, we
assume these two worst-case conditions:
• The voltage at the NAC terminals is the minimum provided by the power supply.
• The notification appliances are clustered at the end of the NAC cable.
Other, more detailed methods that distribute the appliance load along the NAC cable may indicate longer cable
runs.

What you’ll need


Appliance and cable values
Whether you use the worksheet method or the equation method, you’ll need to know:
• The minimum operating voltage required for the appliances
• The maximum operating current drawn by each appliance
• The resistance per unit length of the wire used (Ω/ft)
This information can be found on the appliance installation sheets and on the cable specification sheet.

Power supply values


For either method, you’ll need some fixed or calculated operating values for your specific power supply. The fixed
values are:
• Source voltage = 20.4 V
• Load factor = 0.40A/V for five-zone panels and 0.20 A/V for ten-zone panels
• Power type = FWR
The source voltage is the theoretical operating minimum for the power supply, and is calculated as 85% of 24
volts.

66 P/N 3101018-EN • REV 06 • ISS 08DEC16


Appendix A: System calculations

The load factor is a measure of how the power supply voltage reacts when a load is applied. The load factor
measures the voltage drop per ampere of current drawn by the load.
The power type reflects the type of power supplied to the NAC terminals at minimum voltage. The current draw of
notification appliances can vary substantially with the type of power supplied: full-wave rectified (VFWR) or direct
current (VDC). It is important to know the power type at minimum terminal voltage.
You’ll need to calculate the following values relating to your power supply and to the NAC circuit current. These
are:
• Minimum voltage
• Voltage drop
The minimum voltage is the lowest voltage measured at the NAC terminals when the power supply is under the
maximum load for that circuit (i.e. for the appliances that constitute the NAC).
The voltage drop is the difference between the minimum voltage and 16 V. This value is for use with the
worksheet only.

Worksheet method
Use this worksheet to determine the maximum cable length of a notification appliance circuit for a given number
of appliances.
Use this worksheet only if all the appliances are regulated. That is, they must have a minimum operating voltage
of 16 V. For other appliances, use the “Equation method.”

method,” later in this topic.

see Table 26 later in this topic.

Equation method
Appliance operating voltage and current
Regulated notification appliances have an operating range from 16 V to 33 V. Use 16 V as the minimum
appliance voltage when using regulated notification appliances.
When using unregulated notification appliances, refer to the installation sheets to determine the minimum
appliance voltage required.

Appendix A: System calculations

What if there are different types of appliances in the NAC, and each type has a different minimum operating
voltage? In this case, use the highest minimum voltage required by any appliance.
The total current requirement for the appliances will be the sum of the individual maximum currents drawn by
each appliance when using FWR power. Use the maximum current for the appliance over the 16 V to 33 V range.
If all appliances draw the same maximum current, the total current is the maximum current multiplied by the
number of appliances. If different appliance types have different maximum currents, the total current is the sum of
the maximum current for each appliance type multiplied by the number appliances of that type.

Wire resistance
Typical wire resistances are shown in the following table.

Table 26: Typical wire resistances

18 0.00777 0.02549 0.00795 0.02608

When performing these calculations, always refer to the actual cable supplier documentation and use the actual
Ω/ft (or Ω/m) for the cable being used.

Calculating cable length

To calculate the maximum NAC cable length:


1. Calculate the total current (Itot) as the sum of the maximum operating currents for all the appliances.
Itot = ΣIa
Where:
Ia = appliance maximum current
See the appliance installation sheets for Ia. Remember to use the maximum operating current specified for
FWR power.
2. Calculate the minimum voltage (Vm).
Vm = Vr − (Itot × K)
Where:
Vs = source voltage
Itot = total current (from above)
K = load factor
For the power supply, Vs is 0.40A/V for five-zone panels and 0.20 A/V for ten-zone panels

P/N 3101018-EN • REV 06 • ISS 08DEC16 69


Appendix A: System calculations

3. Calculate the allowable voltage drop (Vd) between the power supply and the appliances.
Vd = Vm − Va
Where:
Vm = minimum voltage (from above)
Va = appliance minimum voltage
For regulated notification appliances, Va is 16 V. For unregulated notification appliances, Va is the lowest
operating voltage specified on the appliance installation sheet.
4. Calculate the maximum resistance (Rmax) the wire can have.
Rmax = Vd / Itot
Where:
Vd = voltage drop
Itot = total current
5. Calculate the maximum length of the cable (Lc), based on the maximum resistance allowed, the resistance of
the wire, and the number of wires in the cable (two).
Lc = (Rmax / Rw) / 2
Where:
Rmax = maximum resistance
Rw = wire resistance factor
Example: You’re using regulated notification appliances with a ten-zone control panel. Assume that the maximum
operating current for each appliance is 100 mA for FWR power, and that 20 appliances will be placed on the NAC.
The cable is 12 AWG wire, and the manufacturer specifies a wire resistance factor of 0.002 Ω/ft.
Itot = ΣIa
= 20 × 0.1 A
=2A
Vm = Vr − (Itot × K)
= 20.4 V − (2 A × 0.20 V/A)
= 20.4 V − 0.4 V
= 20.0 V
Vd = Vm − Va
= 20.0 V − 16.0 V
= 4.0 V
Rmax = Vd / Itot
= 4.0 V / 2.0 A
= 2.0 Ω
Lc = (Rmax / Rw) / 2
= (2.0 Ω / 0.002 Ω/ft) / 2
= 1000 ft / 2
= 500 ft
So the maximum wire run for this NAC would be 500 ft (rounding down for safety).

Appendix C: Wiring diagrams

Warnings, cautions, and notes


The following warnings, cautions, and notes apply to the wiring diagrams included in this appendix.

Warnings
1. Before connecting mains AC, make sure the circuit supplying primary power is turned off and the conductors
are deenergized. High voltages capable of causing personal injury or death may be present.
2. Before connecting standby batteries, make sure the panel is energized. Connecting batteries before applying
AC power can cause personal injury.

Cautions
1. The middle terminal of the AC terminal block is connected to the chassis even when the ground wire is
removed.
2. Connecting standby batteries with the battery leads reversed can cause equipment damage.
3. For initiating device circuits and notification appliance circuits, break the wire run at each field device to
provide proper connection supervision. Do not loop wires under the terminals.

Notes
1. All wiring is power-limited except for mains AC and battery wiring. All wiring is supervised unless noted
otherwise.
2. Maintain 1/4-inch spacing between power-limited and nonpower-limited wiring at all times. Keep power-limited
wiring in the shaded area and nonpower-limited wiring in the unshaded area as shown in Figure 12.
3. The dialer, if installed, must be the first piece of equipment on the protected premises’ telephone network. We
recommend that you install a listed surge protector between the dialer and the public switched telephone
network as shown in Figure 22.
4. Relay outputs are not supervised and do not provide current limiting. Connect relays only to power-limited
sources.
5. If you connect an RPM module that is configured to transmit separate alarm, supervisory, and trouble signals
to a control panel that has an F-DACT1(F), you can’t use the F-DACT1(F) as a dialer.
6. If you use a CTM to activate a local energy type master box, wire the CTM to a dedicated notification
appliance circuit as shown in Figure 28. Configure the NAC to provide a nonsilenceable, continuous (steady)
output.
7. Wiring between CTM and local energy type master box is supervised for opens and ground faults only.
8. NFPA 72 allows systems that require the operation of two automatic detectors (cross zones) to initiate an
alarm response, provided:
• The systems are not prohibited by the authority having jurisdiction.
• At least two automatic detectors are in each protected space.
• The alarm verification feature is not used.
• You reduce the detector installation spacing to 0.7 times the linear spacing.
9. Panel must be connected to a 15 A branch circuit, max.
10. Installing detectors from different manufacturers on the same initiating device circuit is not allowed.
11. All FSUIM relays are common. FSRRM24 relays can be configured as common, zone, or programmable.
