FireShield Plus
Category: Fire Alarm and Detection Systems
The FireShield Plus takes the very best conventional fire alarm technology available today and blends it with features that benefit not only installers, but also contractors, building owners and occupants. The FireShield Plus provides an effective and economical solution for all small building needs.
Features & Applications
- Available in 5, and 10 IDC models
- IDC or NAC pairs convertible to single Class A circuits (10 and 5 IDC panels only)
- CleanMe® provides remote annunciation if a detector drifts out of UL/ULC limits reducing the chance of a false alarm
- Combination Waterflow and Supervisory IDCs reduces wire and zone counts
- NACs programmable by zone and individually selectable for Genesis, continuous, temporal outputs, or coded
- Front panel programmable simplifies installation and servicing
- Optional fully integrated DACT/Dialer for PC programming
- Genesis option allows precision synchronization and audible silence over two wires without additional modules
- On-board relays for Alarm, Supervisory and Trouble
- Optional serial bus relay modules are programmable for common or zone activation
- Optional serial bus remote annunciator family
- One person walk-test (audible or silent)
- Expandable power supply on 10 IDC panel reduces booster power costs
- Trim ring available for semi-flush mounting
- Supports 2M, “EC”, 6200, 400, 500 and 700 series detector.
FireShield Plus provides smoke and fire detection, occupant notification and off-premises signaling for small- to medium-sized buildings.
Each IDC can be configured for both Class B or Class A operation and one of eight operating modes:
- Alarm –with or without smoke detector verification including discrimination of contact devices
- Waterflow Alarm;
- Waterflow Alarm/Supervisory (Combination IDC);
- Supervisory (Latching/non-latching);
- Monitor (non alarm or supervisory)
- Signal Silence
- Drill
- Cross zoning
The following system LEDs display the panel’s status:
- Alarm – panel is in the alarm state;
- Trouble – panel is in the trouble state;
- Supervisory – panel is in the supervisory state;
- Power – indicates the status of the AC power source;
- Disable – indicates when any IDC, NAC, relay or the DACT is disabled;
- Annunciator Trouble – indicates trouble on the remote annunciator bus;
- Battery Trouble – indicates battery or charging problems;
- Ground Fault – indicates a short between any panel circuit and ground;
- Walk Test – indicates that one or more IDCs are in the walk test mode;
- Alarms Silenced – indicates that the panel is in the alarm state with one or more NACs
- Waterflow – indicates that one or more circuits have detected an active waterflow
- Service Detector – indicates the presence of a dirty
- Remote Disconnect – indicates off site communication has been
Each IDC has a disable switch and three LEDs:
- Alarm – red – indicates that the IDC is in the alarm state;
- Trouble – yellow – indicates that the IDC is in the trouble state or is disabled (when flashing);
- Supervisory/Monitor – yellow – indicates that the IDC is in the supervisory state or the monitor state (when flashing).
Each NAC also has a disable switch and a trouble/disable LED.
