Overview

Worldwide Market Applications The XLS1000 Life Safety System (XLS1000) is a highly adaptable life safetysystem that can be applied to worldwide market applications. These applicationscan range from medium to large buildings; and over campus style layouts with manytypes of structures.

The XLS1000 is a modular system designed for fast assembly at the job site or in afactory environment. A powerful programming tool helps define flexible systemoperations in a fraction of the time required by others. These features help satisfycustomer needs at a lower installed cost.

System size is scalable from one node with a few points up to 64 nodes and 80,000points with peer to peer communications.

Single Panel Stand AloneLife Safety System As a single node, standalone system a panel may grow from five to 21 module

spaces.

A Single Panel Stand Alone Life Safety Systems consists of:• Central Processing Unit (CPU) to control serial bus communications to Local Ra

Modules (LRMs)

• The CPU supports the addition of an LCD Operator Interface (OI)• Local Rail Modules (LRMs) interface building wiring to the system• LRMs support the addition of Control Display Modules (CDMs)• CDMs provide traditional LED zone annunciation and switch controls• A panel provides physical space for a CPU and up to 19 single space LRMs (the

Peer-to-Peer Communications The XLS1000 system uses a unique token passing strategy to effect a multi-priority

token protocol for peer-to-peer communications. The system passes a tokenbetween panels to control message access on the network. This effectively employsthe power of all panel controller modules to maximize network through-put andminimize system response time.

Simplified Operator Interface Two types of Operator Interface (OI) modules are available for the XLS1000 system:• A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with Fire Alarm Common Controls, a numeric

keypad, and special function keys. This OI allows the operator to view statusinformation on Alarm, Supervision, Trouble and Non-alarm inputs (Monitor), andperform common control functions. LCDs are optional.

• Control Display Modules (CDMs) that provide traditional operator controls anddisplays, using LEDs and switches. CDMs are optional.

Programming A System Definition Utility (SDU) allows a system designer to quickly create projectspecific software. The Windows based SDU is capable of any-point-to-any-point

programming and has the power to simplify custom programs.

The SDU uses a four step development process to define job specific requirements:• Step One: Define project parameters such as language, network communication

class, market place, and function timing.• Step Two: Configure cabinets, network routing, local rail modules, field devices,

and communication ports.• Step Three: Define objects including Time Controls, Sequences, and Logical

Zone groups, AND groups, Matrix groups, Service groups, and Check-in Groups.• Step Four: If required, develop rules to establish relationships between input and

output identities.


7/30

NOTE: Rules are a programming technique to relate inputs to controlled outputs.

System designers can program XLS1000 systems with:• Local or Proprietary Operation• Display by zone or point.• Alarm Verification Sequence by device or hardwire circuit• Water flow Alarm Sequence with or without silenceable signals• Manual and Automatic Alarm Silence affecting programmable audible and visible

Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs)• Alarm Silence Inhibit periods for alarm silence and paging (separate timers)• Global, Group, or individual panel Evacuation Control• Common, Specific, or Function Event program responses• Current, Delayed, or Sequenced Relay Control• Manual Relay Control for Hand/Off/Auto into one or two Control Relays• Logical Zone Groups, AND Groups, Matrix Groups, Service Test Groups• Time Controls, Check-In Groups, Guard Patrol, Non-Fire Alarm Monitoring

XLS1000 Hardware

The modularity and flexibility of the XLS1000 will satisfy both new construction andretrofit applications. It has the capability of supporting a wide range of functional

applications through both intelligent and conventional circuits. With integrated Digitaaudio and the ability to network panels, the XLS1000 can be easily expanded frommedium to very large applications.

Dual SIGAData

Controller

Fig. 5. 3-DSDC Dual SIGA Data Controller.

The DSDC features:• One loop card (on back of module) that supports up to 250 Signature devices• Up to five DSDCs per node• Fast loop alarm response is 750 ms• Class A (Style 7) or Class B (Style 4) wiring

• T-Tapping allowed on Class B• Ground fault detection by loop and by remote circuit• Nonvolatile memory for program and configuration data

The fast alarm response allows a reduced loop data communication speed and inturn allows minimized wiring specifications. Thus loop circuits do not require twistedor shielded wire and may be run up to 4750 feet.

NOTE: Loop calculations are required for various applications that can reduce thiswire run.

The DSDC supports a standalone mode for Signature Devices. Should datacommunication fail to remote devices, the loop controllers reconfigure their circuitsso that they can receive a traditional type of alarm.

Signature Data Circuits have electronic short circuit protection and are powerlimited. Wiring may be Class B or A. NFPA style numbers are dependent on yourdevice selection.

By using isolator (bases) loop wiring can be Style 7. Isolators are usually used withClass A circuits but also support mixed wiring styles such as Class A risers andClass B floor area wiring.

When configured for an old reverse polarity style central station connection, only thealarm relay is active. In the normal state, the alarm circuit output is 24 Vdc currentlimited to 6 mA. In the alarm state, the polarity reverses. Should the panel go intotrouble from the normal state, the voltage is removed from the output terminals.When the central station detects a loss of voltage the condition is due to paneltrouble or a line failure. An alarm has priority over trouble (an alarm is transmittedwhen the panel is in trouble).

Power SupplyMonitor Module The Power Supply Monitor Module is an LRM, that communicates the status of itself

and its related power supply to the CPU over the local rail. A cable connects theMonitor Module and its related power supply placing the supply output power on thelocal rail.

The Power Supply Monitor Module:• Interfaces power supply to CPU• Monitors:

— Input voltage — Output voltage — Rail and auxiliary outputs — Battery voltage — Remote battery temperature — Output current

• Controls: — Battery charge rate — Battery switch over — Power kill on standby when battery depleted

Large batteries (over 17 Ah) mount in remote battery boxes as their physical sizeexceeds the capacity of the panel cabinets. To maintain charger temperature

compensation, a remote temperature probe connects to the primary power supplymonitor LRM terminals.

Conventional InitiatingDevice Circuit Class B (Style Y) The IDC8/4 is an LRM that supports the connection of conventional hardwired

circuits to the rail and in turn to the CPU. The IDC8/4 has eight supervised Class Binput circuits (IDCs). Four of the eight input circuits may be configured as outputcircuits (NACs). The IDC8/4 is ideally suited for retrofit applications when it isdesirable to migrate existing conventional circuit wiring into an XLS1000 panel.

3-IDC8/4

Fig. 11. 3-IDC8/4 Conventional Initiating Device Circuit Module.

The IDC8/4 features:• Support for a CDM module• Eight Class B input circuits• Four circuits can convert to Class B output circuits• Latching or non-latching operation by circuit• Verified or non-verified operation by circuit

INITIATING DEVICE CIRCUIT (IDC)

Fig. 12. Initiating Device Circuit.

As a supervisory circuit, the IDC8/4 operates with N.O. supervisory contacts. Youmay define the operation as latching or non-latching.

As a monitor circuit, the IDC8/4 operates with N.O. contact devices. Combined witha non-latching operation, the circuit is a supervised event follower and supports theannunciation of critical fan and damper operations.

Circuit annunciation may appear on the LCD, the CDMs, or at any other displaydevice on the network.

When combined with other operating features the IDC8/4 has these advantages:

• Smoke and contact devices mixed on verified circuits• European operation (short as trouble)• Operation of virtually any competitive smoke detector by adjusting impedance

level. Smoke detectors require UL compatibility listing.

Four of the eight circuits of the IDC8/4 can convert to Style Y NACs. This is atraditional reversing polarity circuit for the operation of polarized horns, bells, andstrobes. Each pair of output circuits can distribute 24 Vdc power from the rail or asingle riser source (hardware controlled). The riser source could be a pulsed powersource for audible appliances (such as 3-3-3) or an audio source for speakers.

Each NAC has a rating of 24 Vdc at 3.5A or 70 Vrms at 100W. Circuit power limitingis electronic and based on power rather then just current. For example, at 24 Vdcthe current limits at 3.5A, but at 20 Vdc the current limits at 4.2A. This feature allowsthe XLS1000 to better support strobe devices that exhibit an increasing current as

voltage declines. The lower voltage condition exists only when the system is onstandby and the battery is approaching the extent of its capacity.

LED DisplaySupport Module (LDSM) A Control Display Module may plug into any LRM for connection to the power and

data buses. Since CDM points are defined in software, any CDM can plug into anyunderlying LRM. If no LRM is available, then a LED Display Support Module (LDSMmust first be plugged into the local rail to provide power/data bus connections to theCDM.

Power Supplies

XLS1000 Power Supplies are high efficiency (>80%) switch mode units that canoperate in parallel to supply the local rail. The parallel operation of power suppliesincreases power distribution efficiency. A power supply is made up of two sub-assemblies; a power supply, and a power supply monitor (LRM).

Within a panel, a power supply may function as a primary or a booster. Only oneprimary power supply may exist in a node. A panel can have up to three boosterpower supplies. The primary power supply performs voltage regulation for itself andfor the additional booster supplies. Power supplies are available for 120 or 230 Vacoperation. The frequency range is 50 to 60 Hz.

The power supply provides:• Output of 24 Vdc at 7 Amp, filtered and regulated to


16/30


74-2450 12

above 25 Vdc. During standby operation, if the battery voltage falls to 18 Vdc, theprimary power supply shuts down the panel in an orderly fashion.

If the battery shorts, the charger automatically disables itself and causes a troublethrough the battery voltage (low) monitor. The system will constantly pulse thebattery and try to restore it. Should the short condition clear the systemautomatically restores.

Booster power supplies have specifications similar to primaries excepting they donot have a battery charger, and they are regulated by the primary power supplieselectronics. Load sharing by the power supplies improves cost effectiveness byeliminating the problem of power distribution (unused power at a supply). Loadsharing between power supplies is within 5%.

Power supplies monitor the temperature of their heat sinks and switch to standbywhen the temperature exceeds specifications. The system reports power supplytrouble to the CPU. This trouble clears when the heat sink cools and the powersupply automatically switches back to normal operation. Power Supplies mount tothe back of the wall box on dedicated footprints. Each power supply has a relatedPower Supply Monitor Module that takes one rail space.

Chassis The chassis supports the Upper and Lower rails. The rails carry power and data.

The upper rail carries 5V power, system data, audio data, and supports autoaddressing of rail modules.

Local means the function executes only within its node. For example, if a singlepanel serves a building and exists on a network, then operating Reset (at that panel)resets that panel only.

Group means the function executes the function over a defined node list. Forexample, consider a panel on a multi-building network, and serving a building withfour other panels. In this case, operating Reset at the buildings main panel wouldreset the five panels in that building but affect no other panels on the network.

Global means the function operates across the network and affects all nodes.

Reset

Pressing Reset starts the systems reset sequence. The yellow LED flashes duringthe first phase of reset and turns on steady for the second phase. The LED turns off

when the system is normal.

The user exits the menu system by pressing any key not used during menuoperations. Examples include queue select keys, and the command menu key. Theuser may also backspace out of the menu system.

LCD Display Operation The operation of the LCD Display depends on the system definition. If the system isproprietary, then the user must acknowledge all events that appear on the systemby viewing each event. Once the user acknowledges all active events, then thepanels internal audible signal silences.

If the system is local, then the systems internal signal silences when the userpresses panel silence or a scroll key. If unviewed events exist in a queue, the queue

LEDs continue to flash to inform the user of unseen events.

When all events in a queue are acknowledged or seen, the queue LED associatedwith the queue turns on steady. If a subsequent event occurs, the new eventresounds the panel signal and flashes the queue LED.

If you define Logical Group Zones for the system, then each alarm zone hascontents made up of two or more alarm devices (such as detectors or pull stations).

For its default operation, the LCD displays the zone. Each zone only displays once,regardless of the number of devices active within the zone. Any system responsescreated at the device level still execute.

Control Display Module You can expand the common controls beyond the LCD Display faceplate by addinga Control Display Module (CDM) and assigning features to its switch controls. AllCDM Switches and LEDs are under program control and therefore operation isdependent upon the program.

System Power Up

Upon initial power up the system tests whether the initialization is planned orunplanned as in a warm restart. Given a planned startup the system checks itsapplication code, and if good, loads it. It then checks and loads the operatingsystem, runs tasks, and checks the database for accuracy. As all the tasks initializethey report to the watchdog timer which then begins continuous monitoring of CPUoperation.

System Supervisor

During system operation, continuous software supervision occurs in thebackground. The system monitors all tasking operations, checks all resources,supervises the accuracy of code, database, and tables.

Fire Alarm Operations

Automatic alarm operations take place without intervention by a user. They provideoccupant and building protection by unattended life safety fire alarm systems. Theirbasic purpose is to monitor the building environment and evacuate occupants if ahazard is detected. Additional features, such as city ties, environmental interfacecontrols, and audio support enhance the chances of safe occupant evacuation andextend the function of the system to property protection.

Supervisory Operations

Supervisory device/circuits monitor critical functions of a sprinkler system.Supervisory initiating devices must be N.O. contacts which close on activation inorder to meet North American codes and standards.

System sources of supervisory inputs include device transponders and traditionalcircuits defined as supervisory.

Monitor Operations

Monitor inputs follow the status of remote equipment. In most applications, auxiliaryoutput from the FA system causes changes in building HVAC operation. Monitorinputs display the results to emergency users. Typical examples include the statusof a fan, or the position of a damper.

Monitor displays can be inhibited when the system is not in alarm. Monitor circuitsare supervised.

On a local system, monitor events queued for display are non-latching. Event

restoration removes the monitor event from the display.

On a proprietary system you must acknowledge monitor events and theirrestoration.

Optional Operations

Check-In Group A Check-In Group helps staff monitor the state of being of building occupants. It isuseful in age care facilities, prisons or other secure environments where a personmay be at risk.

The XLS1000 allows programming of a check-in period. During this period all listedindividual stations are expected to activate. Any station not activated by the end ofthe check-in time period will initiate a check-in alarm.

For example, in a living facility for seniors, you could program a check-in periodbetween 6:00 am and 10:00 am. As part of their morning routine, a residentoperates a station (switch) during the check-in period. At the end of the period, forstations which did not check-in, the system initiates a check-in response and liststhe delinquent stations on the LCD display. When staff investigates the delinquency,they restore the station by operating it. Outside of the check-in period, a stationactivation generates an emergency response.

In a prison environment, you could monitor the state of being of guards. In this caseyou may wish to have much tighter check-in cycles, say one hour, and a shorter


25/30


21 74-245

check-in period of five minutes. As well you could set up multiple check-ins, sayonce an hour.

The check-in station is a non-latching Signature Module with personality code 3. It isavailable in various configurations such as a pull cord or an emergency push. Thepull cord device must be non-latching.

Guard Patrol The Guard Patrol feature provides a means to help monitor the state of being ofguard on a patrol tour. It minimizes the time that could elapse between a guardbeing disabled (attacked) and notification of delinquency (early, late, or out ofsequence station activation) at a panel location.

With XLS1000 Guard Patrol feature you can:• Program up to 255 guard patrols• Each patrol station may exist on one guard patrol• Each guard patrol can have up to ten patrol routes• Each route can have up to 63 patrol stations.

A patrol route is a set number of patrol stations arranged in a particular sequence. Apatrol route has the same stations as its parent guard patrol, however, a systemdesigner can alter the path that a guard follows in activating the stations. The firststation of a patrol route must be different from all other routes in a guard patrol.

For example:

Station Patrol Tour Sequence

Route Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Tour 1 GS1 GS2 GS3 GS4 GS5 GS6 GS7 GS8 GS9 GS10



Up to 10 Tours Include all stations in each route. GS = Guard Station

A system designer programs an early and late period for each guard patrol stationon a route. For example, the early period for a station may be two minutes and thelate period might be three minutes from the activation of the previous station. This

means if a guard operates the next station before two minutes the system activatesan early security message. If the guard does not activate the station before threeminutes elapses the system activates a late security message. If the guard operatesthe ‘wrong’ station (not the next in the programmed route) the system activates anout of sequence security message.

The early-late periods for each station can be different for each route. This gives thedesigner the flexibility to have both long and short routes (times) to the same stationfrom various previous stations.

Users can start a guard patrol in two different ways. First, from the panel; secondfrom the first station of a route.

For a patrol start from the control panel, the user may initiate a patrol through themenu system. The user selects guard patrol and then chooses the patrol (one of up

to ten). The patrol guard must then activate the first station between a programmedearly time and a programmed late time. The guard must then operate the secondstation between similar early and late periods. Similar conditions exist for eachpatrol station until the guard operates the last station.

The second method of starting a patrol merely requires the guard to activate the firsstation on a route. A successful guard patrol requires the guard to operate eachstation of the route within the programmed periods and in the proper order.

The guard patrol station is a latching Signature Module with personality code 4.

System Definition Utility

The System Definition Utility (SDU) software allows a system designer to quicklycreate project specific software. The Windows based SDU is capable of any-point-to-any-point programming, yet has the power to simplify a custom program.

The System keeps track of users, jobs, versions, and time against projects. Market

place definitions provide fundamental system definitions for various geographicalareas. The SDU configures the system variables to meet differing coderequirements.

Using the SDU the designer can configure:• Signature Circuits:

— Sensitivity — Alarm Verification — Device Operation:

+Water flow+Supervisory+Monitor

• Cabinet (Panels): — Types — Labels

• Network (Routing) (Groups)• Groups:

— AND — Check in — Guard Patrol — Matrix — Service — Zones

• Time Controls• Reports• Audio Messages

There are various ways to define relationships between input and output devicesand circuits. Simple single stage, general evacuation systems have outputs withcommon operations. By defining outputs as common alarm, you make the devices

activate on any alarm input. No further programming of common devices is required.

Larger systems can have multiple stages and zoned operations. In many cases,devices in a zone all cause the same system response. Rather than program at thedevice level, the SDU allows the system designer to group the devices into zonesand then program at the zone level. Besides supporting traditional zoneannunciation, this feature dramatically reduces the number of correlations requiredto outputs.

To further simplify programming, the SDU uses labels instead of point addresses.This allows a system designer to use descriptive text to relate inputs and outputsusing rules. Rules allow relating inputs to outputs using simple programmingtechniques. Devices, circuits, and zone can all have reference labels. By using wildcards, numerical operators, and carefully crafted labels, the programmer canreplicate system operations over symmetrical zones.

The programming steps the SDU uses in a development process to define jobspecific operations:• Step One: Define system parameters such as network communication class,

language, and passwords.• Step Two: Define panels (nodes) on the network. Configure hardware modules

and loop devices.• Step Three: In a spreadsheet format define objects. Objects include zones,

logical groups, AND matrices, time controls, sequences, and service groups.• Step Four: If required, uses rules to establish relationships between input and

output objects.
