ACS Annunciation Interface (TB5 on CPU) AnnunciatorsAFP-200 PN 15511:H2 10/14/2002 141C.3 ACS Annunciation Interface (TB5 on CPU)In ACS mode, the control panel annunciates its 99 software zones. The use of softwarezones lets you map any number of modules or detectors to a single LED. The ACSconnection uses a standard EIA-485 interface, capable of two-way, high speedcommunications with multiple annunciators located up to 6,000 ft. from the control panel.Canadian Requirement: The ACM Series annunciator modules must be used toannunciate the fire alarm input points/zones only. For Canadian applications, thefollowing LED colors must be employed:• Red must be used to indicate active alarm inputs• Yellow must be used to indicate supervisory, burglary or trouble signals• Green must be used to indicate the presence of power or an activated outputC.3.1 Supported ModulesWhen programmed for ACS mode, the control panel will support the followingACS-compatible modules:• Point annunciators• ACM-8R – This module may be used to increase the relay capacity of the controlpanel by providing mappable dry contact relays. The control panel can support 99detectors, 99 modules, four Notification Appliance Circuits, eight internal relays,and 99 external relays, for a total of over 300 points. The ACM-8R may bepowered by the regulated/high-ripple notification appliance power from the controlpanel. For detailed information, refer to ACM-8R manual.Note: Similar point capacity extension is possible using the LDM-R32, but the LDM-32series must use filtered, regulated power and is therefore more limited than the ACM-8R.• LCD-80 – The LCD-80 must be set to ACS mode (refer to the LCD-80 manual).C.4 Annunciator CapacityACS annunciation displays the 99 software zones of the control panel plus 8 systempoints, for a total of 107. Information is transmitted using annunciator addresses 1 and2. The EIA-485 interface will allow up to 32 annunciators (all but two must be inreceive-only mode), over distances of up to 6,000 feet (1828.8 m) subject to systempower limitations.C.4.1 Data Formats for Annunciator Address 1Table 52 contains the data formats available at annunciator address 1. Note the following:1. The use of a UDACT Universal Digital Alarm Communicator/Transmitter and anACM, AFM or LDM Series Annunciator on the same control panel alters theassignments of the yellow LEDs on ACS Points 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.2. Assignments with the UDACT are Point 3=Program Mode, Point 4=Supervisory,Point 5=Bell Trouble, Point 6=Prealarm/Maintenance Alert, Point 7=Low Batteryand Point 8=AC Fail.C.4.2 Data Formats at Annunciator Address 2Table 53 contains the data formats for annunciator address 2. Note the following:1. The National Standard of Canada (CAN/ULC-5527) requires a dedicated displayto use yellow visual indicators to show the status of supervisory inputs. Notifierannunciators intended for Canadian Supervisory Service are: ACM-16ATCS4,ACM-16ATCS, ACM-16ATY, ACM-32ACS8, ACM-32ACS, and ACM-32AY.2. On address 2, LED number = point number – 56ACM-16AT, AEM-16AT ACM-32A, AEM-32AAFM-16A, AFM-32A, AFM-16AT LDM-32, LDM-E32, LDM-R32Technical Manuals Online! - http://www.tech-man.com
