Installing the Tracer MP581
programmable controller
Installation guidelines
Guidelines for installing a Tracer MP581 include:
• A Tracer MP581 that monitors the fire alarm control panel for
consistency (FACP) must be installed in the same room as the FACP.
It must be installed within 20 feet of the FACP. Cables between the
FACP and the Tracer MP581 must be in conduit.
• A Tracer MP581 that monitors and controls the fire smoke control
system (FSCS) must be installed in the same room as the FSCS. It
must be installed within 20 feet of the FSCS. Cables between the
FACP and Tracer MP581 must be in conduit.
▲IMPORTANT
Wiring between the Tracer MP581 and the FACP and between the Tracer
MP581 and the FSCS (point wiring) must be in conduit. The conduit
requirement is necessary, since the binary inputs to the Tracer MP581
are not supervised.
• Wiring from a Tracer MP581 to field sensors and relays is not
supervised. Installation of this wiring must conform to more stringent
requirements when a Tracer MP581 is part of a smoke control system
than when it is part of a standard mechanical system control.
