UL Listed Commercial and Residential Installations
The installation requirements listed below must
be met for the following grades of service.
Grade AA Central Station and Police Connect
The installation must use T-Link module which communicates over LAN/WAN to
the Sur-Gard MLR-IP receiver. Polling time must be 90 seconds. Compromise
detection time must be 6 minutes.
Grade A Local
•The installation must have a bell which is UL Listed for mercantile local alarms
(AMSECO MBL10B with model AB-12 bell housing).
•The digital communicator must be enabled.
•The control panel must be in the attack-resistant enclosure (DSC Model CMC-1
or PC4050CAR).
Grade B Central Station and Police Connect
•The installation must have a bell which is UL Listed for mercantile local alarms
(AMSECO MBL10B with model AB-12 bell housing).
•The digital communicator must be enabled.
•The control panel must be in the attack resistant enclosure (DSC Model CMC-1
or PC4050CAR).
Grade C Central Station
•The digital communicator must be enabled.
•The control panel must be in the attack resistant enclosure (DSC Model CMC-1
or PC4050CAR).
All Commercial Installations
•The Entry Delay must not exceed 120 seconds
•The Exit Delay must not exceed 120 seconds.
•The minimum Bell Time-out is 15 minutes.
Residential Fire & Burglary Installations
•The Entry Delay must not exceed 45 seconds
•The Exit Delay must not exceed 60 seconds.
•The minimum Bell Time-out is 4 minutes.
Home Health Care Signaling Equipment
•There must be at least two keypads, one of either the LCD5500Z/LCD5520Z or
LCD5501Z and one of the following models, PC5508Z, PC5516Z or PC5532Z.
•Each system shall be programmed to activate an audible Trouble signal within 90
seconds upon loss of microprocessor memory.
•The minimum Bell Time-out is 5 minutes.
Programming
The notes in the programming sections describing the system configurations for
UL Listed installations must be implemented.
Control of the Protected Premises
In order to have a UL Certificated system the protected area is to be under the
responsibility of one ownership and management (i.e., one business under one
name). This may be a group of buildings attached or unattached with different
addresses but under the responsibility of someone having mutual interest. The
person of mutual interest is not the alarm-installing company.
Bell Location
The alarm sounding device (bell) must be located where it can be heard by the
person or persons responsible for maintaining the security system during the daily
arming cycle.
Protection of the Control Unit
The local control and the local power supply must be protected in one of the fol-
lowing ways:
•The control unit and audible alarm device must be in a protected area which is
armed 24 hours a day.
•Each partition must arm the area protecting the control unit and the audible
alarm device power supply. This may require duplicate protection armed by each
partition. Access to this protected area, without causing an alarm, will require
that all partitions be disarmed.
•In all cases described above, the protected area for the control unit must be pro-
grammed as not-bypassable.
Casual Users
The installer should caution the user(s) not to give system information to casual
users (e.g. codes, bypass methods, etc. to baby-sitters or service people). Only the
One-Time Use codes should be given to casual users.
User Information
The installer should advise the users and note in the User’s Manual:
•Service organization name and telephone number
•The programmed exit time
•The programmed entry time
•Test system weekly
Two-Wire Smoke Detector Compatibility (if available)
Maximum loop resistance: 24 Ohms (if available)
•Operating Voltage Range: 8.9 - 13.4 (if available)
•Maximum Alarm Current: 89 mA (if available)
•Compatibility Identifier: PC18-1
See
Section 5
PGM Wiring
for compatible 2-wire smoke detectors.
SIA FAR Installations
Minimum requirement system for SIA-FAR Installations:
• 1 PC1864/1832/1616 Control panel
• 2 Local annunciation devices
The local annunciation devices may be any combination of the following keypads.
• LCD5500Z • LCD5501Z • PK5500
• PKP-LCD • PKP-ICN • PK5501
The following optional subassembly modules also bear the SIA FAR classification
and may be used if desired:
PC5108 Zone Expander Module
Compatible initiating devices: Bravo200 series, 300 series, 400 series, 500 series,
600 series, AC-100, Encore300 series, Force200 series, 210 series, MN240.
PC5208 Low Current PGM Output Module
The following optional accessory modules also bear the SIA FAR classification and
may be used if desired.
PC5204 Auxiliary Power Supply with PGM output ports
Escort5580/Escort5580TC, PC5400 Printer Module
Caution
• For SIA FAR installations, only use modules / devices that are listed on this page.
• Fire Alarm Verification feature (Auto Verified Fire zone) is not supported on 2-
wire smoke detectors zones. This feature may be enabled for 4-wire smoke
detectors only.
• Call Waiting Cancel (Section 382 Option 4) feature on a non-Call Waiting line
will prevent successful communication to the central station.
• All smoke detectors on the system must be tested annually by conducting the
Installer Walk Test prior to exiting the walk test mode, a sensor reset must be
conducted on the system, [][7][2] to reset all latching 4-wire smoke detectors.
Please refer to the smoke detector installation instructions on how to correctly
test the detectors.
Notes
• Programming at installation may be subordinate to other UL requirements for
the intended application.
• Cross zones have the ability to individually protect the intended area (e.g.,
motion detectors, which overlap).
• Cross zoning is not recommended for line security Installations nor is it to be
implemented on exit / entry zones.
• There is a communication delay of 30 seconds in this control panel. It can be
removed, or it can be increased up to 45 seconds at the option of the end user
by consulting with the Installer.
• Do not duplicate any reporting codes. This applies for all communication for-
mats other than SIA sending automatic programmed reporting codes.
• The control unit must be installed with a local sounding device and an off-
premise transmission for SIA communication format.
