64-Point Analog/Addressable Life Safety System E-FSA64

APPROVAL #6020

Overview

The Edwards Signaling E-FSA64 life safety system offers the reliability of analog/addressable fire detection for small to mid-sized applications. Built to provide years of trouble-free service, this system benefits building owners and installers with rotory device addressing, optional Ethernet® connectivity, and a full line of easilyto-configure option cards and modules.

The E-FSA64 provides one Class B analog/addressable device loop that supports up to 64 device addresses, and two Class B Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs). Optional Class A device wiring is available with the use of a module.

The E-FSA64 supports a wide range of accessories and related equipment, including:

• Intelligent modules and pull stations
• Intelligent detectors, and bases
• Remote annunciators
• Option cards that expand system capacity and extend system capabilities.

Features

• Comes standard with one loop that supports up to 64 analog/ addressable devices of any type and two Class B NACs
• Form C contacts for alarm and trouble, Form A for supervisory
• Rotory addressing
• Optional Ethernet port for diagnostics, programming and a variety of system reports
• Two programmable switches with LEDs and custom labeling
• Supports horn silence over two wires and UL 1971-compliant strobe synchronization
• Optional Class A wiring
• Supports up to eight serial annunciators, (LCD, LED-only, and graphic interface).
• Can use existing wiring for most retrofit applications
• Upload/download remotely or locally
• Two-level maintenance alert reporting
• Pre-alarm and alarm verification by point
• Adjustable detector sensitivity
• 4 x 20 character backlit LCD display
• Optional earthquake hardening: seismic Importance Factor 1.5

Application

The E-FSA64 life safety system is a reliable analog/addressable solution for small to mid-sized buildings. Analog/Addressable Technology delivers the benefits of flexible system installation, while a clean and easy-to-operateuser interface makes panel operation and system maintenance quick and intuitive.

Reliability you can count on

The inherent fault-tolerant characteristics of Analog/Addressable Technology boosts the reliability of E-FSA64 systems. When combined with E-Series smoke and heat detectors, this system delivers a level of dependability not previously available for small to mid-sized applications. All E-Series systems are built to exacting Edwards reliability benchmarks and meet ISO 9001 standards for quality, in addition to agency listings for dependability.

Flexibility built right in

Two fully-programmable front panel switch/LED combinations provide an added measure of flexibility. Their slide-in labels take the mystery out of custom applications, and present a clean finished appearance.

Perfect for retrofits

The E-FSA64 is particularly well-suited to retrofit applications. All connections are made over standard wiring – no shielded cable required. This means that in most situations existing wiring can be used to upgrade a legacy control panel to E-FSA64 technology without the expense or disruption of rewiring the entire building.

Signals with a difference

E-FSA64 NACs are configurable to fully support Edwards notification appliances. These devices offer precision synchronization of strobes to UL 1971 standards. Enabling this feature allows connected horns to be silenced while strobes on the same two-wire circuit continue to flash until the panel is reset.

Clear-cut remote annunciation

Remote annunciation is a strong suit of the E-FSA64. Up to eight annunciators can be installed on a single system. Compatible annunciators include a range of LED and LCD models that provide zone or point annunciation, as well as common control capabilities.

The E-FSA64 also supports graphic annunciation with optional RA Graphic Annunciator interface modules. Each interface provides common control, indicators, and 32 LEDS. Consult the Ordering Information section for details.

A complete line of accessories

The E-FSA64 life safety system is supported by a complete line of analog/addressable detectors, modules and related equipment. Consult the Ordering Information section for details.

Operation

00:00:00 01/01/07 The front panel provides an easy-to-use operator's interface, as well as all the necessary controls for front panel programming. A large back-lit 80-character LCD displays system status, event details, and programming prompts. Large tactile control buttons are easy to see in low light conditions, and bright multicolor LEDs offer at-a-glance status indication.

Programming

E-FSA64 life safety systems are simple to set up, yet also offer programming features that put these small building panels into a class of their own. Auto programming quickly gets the panel operational using factory default settings and basic zone and point settings can be programmed through the front panel interface, so the system is up and running in no time.

E-FSA64 systems also interface to a PC running compatible FSA-CU software. This option offers full system configuration in the familiar Windows® operating environment. Connection is typically made to a laptop through the panel's optional RS-232 communications port, which can also be used to connect a system printer.

The optional network card provides a standard 10/100 Base T Ethernet® network connection that permits access to the control panel from any remote location with the correct communications protocols. The connection can be used to download to the panel from the FSA-CU, or upload and view system reports using the FSA-CU.

Available system reports include:

• Correlation groups Device details
• Device maintenance History
• System status Walk test
• Dialer

• Internal status System configuration

SA-DACT Dialer

The SA-DACT provides communications between the control panel and the central station over a telephone line system. It transmits system status changes (events) to a compatible digital alarm communicator receiver over the public switched telephone network. The dialer is capable of single, dual, or split reporting of events to two different account and telephone numbers. The modem feature of the SA-DACT can also be used for uploading and downloading panel configuration, history, and current status to a PC running the FSA-CU.

The dialer phone lines connect to connectors on the dialer's main circuit board. Phone line 1 connects to connector J4 and phone line 2 connects to connector J1.

The SA-DACT queues messages and transmits them based on priority (alarm, supervisory, trouble, and monitor). Activations are transmitted before restorations.
