Removal, disconnection, failure, or change of type of any control panel module shall be detected and reported by the Central Processing Unit as a module trouble. The CPU shall contain and execute all custom programs for all specific actions taken if a fire situation is detected. Such programs shall be held in non-volatile programmable memory, and shall not be lost even if system primary and secondary power failure occurs. Programming of the system shall be executed from the CPU module keypad and shall not require special tools, including an EPROM burner or LAPTOP PC. The CPU module shall also include an access security switch that when activated shall inhibit the system from being reprogrammed, thus keeping the system from being reprogrammed by un- authorized personnel. The CPU module shall also include the following standard Output Circuits. - Two Style Y or Z Notification Circuits - One Form-C Alarm, Relay - One Form-C Trouble Relay - One Master Box Circuit - Remote Station Circuit (Alarm and Trouble shall be separate circuits) - One EIA-485 circuit for connection of serial remote annunciators * All powered outputs shall be supervised and power limited. The EIA-485 circuit shall be included on the CPU module for connection to serial annunciators. This connection shall allow up to 32 remote annunciators on a two-wire circuit and be capable of mounting the furthest annunciator up to 6,000 feet from the control. The Central Processing Unit shall also provide the following switches and indicators: AC POWER- GREEN LED SYSTEM ALARM- RED LED SUPERVISORY- YELLOW LED SYSTEM TROUBLE- YELLOW LED SIGNAL SILENCED- YELLOW LED MODULE FAILURE/ANNUNCIATOR TROUBLE YELLOW LED POWER TROUBLE- YELLOW LED NOTIFICATION CIRCUIT 1 ALARM- GREEN LED NOTIFICATION CIRCUIT 1 TROUBLE- YELLOW LED NOTIFICATION CIRCUIT 2 ALARM- GREEN LED NOTIFICATION CIRCUIT 2 TROUBLE- YELLOW LED RELAY ON- GREEN LED TROUBLE DISABLE- YELLOW LED REMOTE SIGNALING/MUNICIPAL TIE ON- GREEN LED REMOTE SIGNALING/MUNICIPAL TIE TROUBLE- YELLOW LED ACKNOWLEDGE- MOMENTARY SWITCH SIGNAL SILENCE- MOMENTARY SWITCH SYSTEM RESET- MOMENTARY SWITCH DISABLE/ENABLE- MOMENTARY SWITCH The CPU module shall be capable of monitoring and controlling up to seven option modules described in the following sections.

MODEL NUMBER: CPU-2000 MANUFACTURER: FIRE·LITE ALARMS, INC. 2.2.4 INITIATING ZONE MODULE The Initiating Zone Module shall provide eight fully supervised Style B (Class B) Initiating Device Circuits (IDC). These circuits may be converted to Style D (Class A) with an optional module. Each IDC (or Zone) shall be capable, through the systems programming, of monitoring Fire, Waterflow, or Supervisory (Tamper) devices. The Fire circuit may be used for two or four -wire smoke detectors or contact type devices, such as pull stations or heat detectors. Two wire smoke detector circuits shall allow a programmable alarm verification. The alarm verification feature shall be used to delay acceptance of smoke detector alarms until they can be electronically confirmed. This confirmation operation shall meet all applicable UL requirements and standards. If a circuit is selected for alarm verification, it shall only verify two-wire smoke detectors. Contact devices, such as manual stations that are connected to an alarm verified circuit shall not be verified and immediately create an alarm condition. Supervisory circuit activation shall not activate the RED system alarm LED, but will activate a separate and distinct supervisory indicator. An open-circuit on a supervisory circuit shall be reported as trouble, and must be differentiated from a supervisory alarm. Any Initiating Device Circuit may be programmed to operate as a Waterflow alarm circuit. A Waterflow circuit will activate its programmed output circuits, but these circuits shall automatically go unaffected by the Signal Silence switch. A lower priority type circuit selection shall also be available for "NON-ALARM" conditions. This type circuit shall activate its programmed circuits in a tracking mode, which when activated shall turn on it's programmed outputs until the circuit is returned to normal. This circuit shall not activate the system alarm LED and shall not require a system reset after circuit activation. Each Initiating Circuit shall provide one red ALARM LED and one yellow TROUBLE LED. Custom label inserts shall be provided, used for circuit identification using only a standard typewriter.
