Intelligent Fire Alarm Systems

FX-64, FX-1000

Overview

Kidde brand intelligent life safety systems offer the power of highend intelligent processing in configurations that deliver uncomplicated solutions for small to mid-sized applications. With intelligent detection, rotary addressing, automatic device mapping, optional Ethernet® connectivity, and a full line of easily-configured option cards and modules, these flexible systems offers offer versatility that benefits building owners and contractors alike.

The FX-64 provides one Class B intelligent 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 FX-1000 provides one Class A or Class B intelligent device loop that supports up to 250 device addresses. Loop controller modules may be added in combination to expand total system capacity in 250-point increments to up to 1,000 device addresses. The FX-1000 panel includes four NACs that may be wired for either Class A or Class B operation.

The RZI16-2RS module adds even more capacity to FX installations by adding up to 16 conventional device circuits and two additional notification appliance circuits. This makes them an ideal retrofit solution that can accommodate new intelligent detectors, as well as existing conventional devices.

Application

Kidde FX Series life safety systems are powerful intelligent solutions for small to mid-sized buildings. Advanced analog technology delivers the benefits of flexible system installation, while clean and easy-to-operate user interfaces make 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 Kidde fire alarm systems. When combined with FX Series smoke and heat detectors, these systems deliver a level of dependability not previously available for small to mid-sized applications. All Kidde systems are built to exacting reliability benchmarks and meet international 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

Kidde FX Series control panels are 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 FX technology without the expense or disruption of rewiring the entire building. FX control panels also support the ingenious RZI16-2RS

zone module, which adds up to 16 conventional circuits and two NACs. This combination easily accommodates new intelligent detection alongside existing conventional circuits, making it an unbeatable solution in the retrofit market.

Signals with a difference

Kidde FX Series NACs are configurable to fully support renowned Genesis Series notification appliances. When used with FX control panels these devices offer precision synchronization of strobes to UL 1971 standards — without the need for external modules. This feature also 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 FX Series fire alarm systems. 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.

FX control panels also supports graphic annunciation with optional Graphic Annunciator interface modules. Each interface provides common control, indicators, and 32 LEDs.

A complete line of accessories

FX Series life safety systems are supported by a complete line of analog/addressable detectors, modules and related equipment. Consult the Ordering Information section for details.

Programming and remote diagnostics

Kidde FX Series life safety systems are simple to set up, yet offer advanced programming features that put these small building panels into a class of their own. The auto programming feature quickly gets the panel operational using factory default settings. Basic zone and point settings can be programmed easily through the front panel interface, so the system is up and running in no time.

The FX series panels can also interface to a PC running the FX-CU configuration utility 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.

Among the many innovative features of FX Series control panels is the optional network card. This module 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 FX-CU, or upload and view system reports using the FX-CU.

• Correlation groups Device details
• Device maintenance History
• Internal status System configuration
• System status Walk test

The RZI16-2RS Addressable Remote Zone Interface Module is an addressable device that provides connections for sixteen Class B Initiating Device Circuits and two Class B Supervised Output Circuits. The inputs and outputs can be configured individually for several device types.

The device address is set using the two rotary switches located on the front of the module. The RZI16-2RS requires 18 consecutive addresses on the Signaling Line Circuit (SLC).

The RZI16-2RS incorporates two 8-segment DIP switches that are used to select the Alarm or Supervisory default device type for each of the 16 IDC circuits. The module also includes one 4-segment DIP switch used to select the default Relay or NAC output device type. Device types other than the default are accomplished through programming.

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 FX-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 mes-

sages and transmits them based on priority (alarm, supervisory, trouble, and monitor). Activations are transmitted before restorations.

The SA-DACT is installed on the plastic assembly and connects to the main circuit board via a ribbon cable.
