Manuale utente del modulo doppio monitor Notifier FDM-1

Introduzione

This manual provides essential information for the proper installation, operation, and maintenance of the Notifier FDM-1 Dual Monitor Module. The FDM-1 is designed for use in compatible fire alarm systems to monitor two independent circuits, reporting their status to the fire alarm control panel (FACP).

Informazioni sulla sicurezza

WARNING: Installation and servicing must be performed by qualified personnel only. Disconnect all power before servicing. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.

• Always follow local codes, regulations, and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards.
• Ensure proper grounding of all components.
• Non utilizzare il modulo se appare danneggiato.
• Refer to the specific fire alarm control panel (FACP) manual for compatibility and detailed wiring instructions.

Prodotto finitoview

The Notifier FDM-1 is a dual monitor module used to supervise two sets of normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) contacts. It reports the status of these contacts to a compatible fire alarm control panel, enabling the FACP to initiate appropriate responses based on programmed logic.

Configurazione e installazione

This section outlines the general steps for installing the FDM-1 module. Always refer to the specific wiring diagrams provided with your fire alarm control panel and the FDM-1's detailed installation instructions for precise guidance.

1. Disconnessione dell'alimentazione: Prima di iniziare l'installazione, assicurarsi che tutta l'alimentazione al pannello di controllo dell'allarme antincendio e ai circuiti associati sia scollegata.
2. Montaggio: Mount the FDM-1 module in a suitable electrical box or enclosure, ensuring it is securely fastened and accessible for wiring.
3. Cablaggio: Connect the module to the Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) of the fire alarm control panel according to the manufacturer's specifications. Connect the two monitored circuits to the appropriate terminals on the FDM-1. Use proper wire gauges and ensure all connections are secure and comply with local codes.
4. Impostazione dell'indirizzo: Set the module's address using the rotary switches or dip switches, as per the FACP's programming requirements. Each module must have a unique address.
5. Verifica: After wiring, verify all connections for continuity and correct polarity.
6. Ripristino dell'energia: Restore power to the FACP and verify the module's communication and status. Confirm that the FACP recognizes the module and its circuits without faults.

Principi operativi

The FDM-1 module continuously monitors the status of its two input circuits. When a change in state (e.g., a contact closing or opening) is detected on either circuit, the module transmits this information to the fire alarm control panel. The FACP then processes this signal according to its programming, which may include activating alarms, initiating supervisory signals, or displaying status messages on the FACP interface.

Manutenzione

Regular maintenance ensures the reliable operation of your FDM-1 module and the overall fire alarm system. Adhere to a scheduled maintenance program as required by local codes and NFPA 72.

• Ispezione visiva: Periodically inspect the module for any signs of physical damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
• Prova: Conduct functional tests of the monitored circuits as part of your routine fire alarm system testing schedule, in accordance with NFPA 72 and local codes.
• Pulizia: Keep the module free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the module.

Risoluzione dei problemi

If the FDM-1 module or its monitored circuits are not functioning as expected, consider the following troubleshooting steps. Always ensure power is disconnected before inspecting wiring.

1. No Communication/Fault Indication:
   • Check wiring connections to the SLC for proper polarity and secure terminals.
   • Verify the module's address setting matches the FACP programming.
   • Ensure the FACP is compatible with the FDM-1 module.
   • Check for short circuits or open circuits on the SLC.
2. Incorrect Status Indication:
   • Verify the wiring of the monitored contacts (normally open/normally closed).
   • Ensure the contacts themselves are functioning correctly.
   • Check the FACP programming for correct input type and response.
3. Intermittent Faults:
   • Inspect for loose wiring connections or environmental factors like excessive vibration or moisture.
   • Ensure proper termination resistors are used if required by the FACP.

If issues persist after performing these checks, contact qualified fire alarm service personnel for further assistance.
