Notice for all SFC-500 Series Built-in UDACTs Sold in the U.S.A.
Note: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number
of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any
combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices
does not exceed 5.
The Label Identification Number for this product is US:1M8AL02BFX350. The 02B represents the REN without a decimal
point (e.g., 02B is a REN of 0.2B). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
Summit's SFC-500 SERIES BUILT-IN UDACT Digital Communicator described in this manual is listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
(ULI) for use in slave application in conjunction with a Listed Fire Alarm Control Panel under Standard 864 (Control Units for Fire Protective
Signalling Systems). These Communicators comply with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) performance requirements for
UDACTs and should be installed in accordance with NFPA 72 Chapter 4 (Supervising Station Fire Alarm System). These Communicators
should be installed in accordance with this manual; the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70); and/or the local Authority Having Jurisdiction
(AHJ).
FCC Notice
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the telco transformer of this
equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:1M8AL02BFX350. If requested, this
number must be provided to the telephone company. This equipment is capable of seizing the line. This capability is provided in the
hardware.
Type of Service: The Communicator is designed to be used on standard device telephone lines. It connects to the telephone line by
means of a standard jack called the USOC RJ-11C (or USOC FJ45S). Connection to telephone company provided coin service (central
office implemented systems) is prohibited. Connection to party lines service is subject to state tariffs.
Telephone Company Procedures: The goal of the telephone company is to provide you with the best service it can. In order to do this, it
may occasionally be necessary for them to make changes in their equipment, operations or procedures. If these changes might affect your
service or the operation of your equipment, the telephone company will give you notice, in writing, to allow you to make any changes
necessary to maintain uninterrupted service.
In certain circumstances, it may be necessary for the telephone company to request information from you concerning the equipment which
you have connected to your telephone line. Upon request of the telephone company, provide the FCC registration number and the ringer
equivalence number (REN); both of these items are listed on the equipment label. The sum of all of the REN’s on your telephone lines
should be less than five in order to assure proper service from the telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five may not be usable on
a given line.
If Problems Arise: If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately remove it from your telephone line,
as it may cause harm to the telephone network. If the telephone company notes a problem, they may temporarily discontinue service. When
practical, they will notify you in advance of this disconnection. If advance notice is not feasible, you will be notified as soon as possible.
When you are notified, you will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Contact your telephone company if you have any questions about your phone line. In the event repairs are ever needed on the
Communicator, they should be performed by Summit Systems Technologies or an authorized representative of Summit Systems

Introduction
Introduction
Summit’s SFC-500 Series Analog/Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel provides a loop for 60 or 126 addressable
or three loops for 378 input and output devices, four supervised Class B or A (Style Y or Z) indicating circuits, a full
range of auxiliary power supplies, and extensive common control features via its integrated LCD display and push
button console. Many of its features are fully configurable utilizing the built-in configuration capability via the front
panel display and switches. The panel is available with an integrated dialer/modem. Optional modules include
Polarity Reversal and City Tie, SRAX-532 LED Display Adder, and Class A Converter for indicating circuits. Semi-
flush or surface mountable enclosures can be used for retrofits and on new installations. This manual covers the
following panels:
Note: Installation of the SFC-500 Series Fire Alarm Control panel should be in accordance with Canadian
Electrical Code Part 1, ULC-S524 installation of Fire Alarm System, National Electrical Code NFPA
70 and NFPA 72. Final acceptance subject to the Local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).

SFC-500 Series Installation and Operation Manual
Conventions
Circuits
Refers to a physical electrical interface for the analog loop, indicating signals or relays, and common alarm,
supervisory, and trouble relay outputs.
Zone/Group
Is a logical concept for a Fire Alarm Protected Area, and will consist of at least one Circuit. Groups are used
extensively in the SFC-500 Series to facilitate annunciation of multiple input and output points on the 32 (up to 64)
LED display and to facilitate bypassing of inputs and outputs.
Display Points
The SFC-500 Series provides an LCD display to annunciate the status of the system and connected devices. The
FX-351 also provides up to 64 LED display points on the panel front in addition to the LCD display. Display points
may be assigned to LEDs during configuration to groups of inputs or outputs. There are two LEDs for every display
point: one single color (amber) and one dual color (red/amber).
Wiring Styles
The analog loop can be connected in Class B (Style Y) or Class A (Style D) configurations. Changing the indicating
circuits to Class A requires an SOCA-204 adder board which will convert four indicating zones from Class B (Style
Y) circuits to Class A (Style Z). This is done without reducing the number of circuits.
Note: The Model SFC-500-60DR panels DO NOT recognize any devices with addresses higher than 60.

The Alarm Transmit signal to the SPR-200 can be programmed to turn OFF when signal silence is active. This
allows the City Tie Box to be manually reset. On subsequent alarms the silenceable signals will resound and the
City Tie Box will be retriggered.
The Trouble Transmit signal to the SPR-200 can be programmed to delay AC power fail 0, 1, 2, or 3 hours if this is
the only system trouble.
16
SFC-500 Series Installation and Operation Manual
Addressable/Analog Devices
The SFC-500 supports up to 3 loops of addressable/analog devices. The device loop can be used to connect up to
60, 126 or 378 analog devices and addressable input or output modules on an unshielded twisted pair (UTP). The
devices must be compatible with the Summit device protocol.
The loop interface software continuously supervises the devices on its loop against those found during
configuration for the following conditions:
• device missing
• unconfigured device responding
• two or more devices responding to the same address
• wrong device type
A communication or addressing error on a device is reported as a trouble on the associated zone LED if configured.
The addressable loop can be configured for class A or B operation. "T-tapping" is allowed (Refer to device
installation documentation for details). A short or open on the loop will activate the common trouble sequence with
a latching trouble.
Devices on the loop have an optional LED which normally flashes when the device is polled and goes ON steady
when the device is active (alarm for an input device or active for an output device). The flashing of the LED on
polling for sensors can be suppressed during configuration. For input or output modules, the LED always flashes
when polling. The software limits the maximum number of the devices which can have their LED turned ON when
active to fifteen (15).
Certain devices are designed to support an optional external LED, which operates when the LED on the device is
activated. Remote/external LEDs must NOT be used on this system. The panel can provide up to 350mA of current
to the devices on the loop. A maximum line loss of 5 volts is permitted, so the loop distance, wire size, and
maximum number of devices are limited by this constraint. The device currents are as follows:
DEVICE CURRENTS (uA)
Device Quiescent Alarm Inrush
Ionization 280 2280 1000
Photoelectric 340 4340 1000
Multi-sensor (Photoelectric/Thermal) 470 3470 1000
Heat 250 2250 1000
Priority Switch Monitor 600 4600 2500
Mini Priority Switch Monitor 600 4600 2800
Single Relay Output 850 4850 3000
Supervised Output 1000 1000 6000
Isolator 35 35 0
The devices should be installed using unshielded twisted pair (UTP). The currents above may be used to calculate
the total line drop on the loop, which must not exceed 5 volts worst-case at the last device. The calculations
required to determine the maximum permissible loop wiring distance with various combinations of devices is
relatively complicated, and when isolators are used, includes a consideration of device inrush currents which must
not exceed 20mA for a single isolator. In no case should more that twenty devices be connected to a single isolator.
To simplify the calculation process, please utilize the loop calculator program located on the Summit website at
http:/www.summit-st.net in order to determine maximum loop lengths, number of devices, and wire sizes etc.
It is also important to note that the device LEDs present a significant extra load on the loop which must be
considered in calculating permissible loop lengths, battery capacities, etc. Please refer to the device Installation
17
Circuits and Devices
Instructions and other documentation provided with the addressable devices, bases, and isolators for further
information. The system will automatically limit the maximum number of device LEDs which can be
illuminated to 15.
Analog Devices
The system supports Summit SI-200 Series photo, ion, multi-sensor and thermal (heat) type analog detectors, as
well as contact input and output devices. The detectors may be configured as non-verified or verified alarm inputs.
To determine an alarm condition, the system polls the analog device and compares the analog value against stored
thresholds for pre-alarm and alarm conditions.
A range of thresholds is provided for each type of analog device (except for contact devices), corresponding to the
agency approved range of threshold for a particular device type. Each device can be individually configured to a
value in the range of threshold for “day time” and one for the “night time” or after hours operation; i.e. a device may
be configured to a low sensitivity for “day time” and high sensitivity at “night time”. The day time threshold will be
used unless the after hours operation is active.
Drift Compensation
The SFC-500 will automatically adjust for gradually increasing affects of dust and other accumulations of dirt in the
detectors. It will adjust the thresholds to compensate for a detector going dirty according to the gradual change in
the normal clean air value received. When it can no longer compensate for an increasingly dirty detector, a dirty
detector trouble is indicated for that device.
Auto Test
Periodically each detector is commanded to return an alarm value to test its ability to alarm. If it fails the test, a
trouble is indicated on that device. This trouble is latched until system reset.
Contact Inputs
Contact input modules on the addressable/analog device loop may be configured as any of the following input types:
• non-verified alarm inputs
• waterflow inputs
• non-latching supervisory inputs
• latching supervisory inputs
• monitor inputs
• trouble only inputs
• remote switch inputs
Contact Outputs
Contact output modules on the addressable/analog device loop may be configured as any of the following output
types:
• signals
• strobes
• relay outputs
Analog devices may be installed with relay or sounder bases. The outputs of these bases are activated when the
device active LED turns ON steady in response to an alarm. The command to activate the output is separate from
the command that activates the LED and they are not subject to the same restrictions as the LED. Output modules
configured as signals are not stroked by software at the current signal rate. When the system commands
them to be either in alert or in evacuation, the panel will simply activate them continuously. It is possible to provide
stroked operation by connecting the signal power to a conventional signal output which is stroking at the correct rate
when the device is active. Depending on the device, the system can detect open and short troubles and report it as
an output circuit trouble.

Loop Isolators
To limit the number of addressable devices compromised by a short on the addressable loop, isolators (SIM-100X,
100XH, or 100XB) may be used to isolate the affect of the short circuit. If the impact of a short circuit must be
limited to only one device, an isolating base must be used for each detector. A maximum of twenty devices can be
connected between isolators, or between the panel and the first isolator, as long as the maximum in-rush current for
the devices on one segment of the loop does not exceed 20mA. Refer to the installation instructions for
addressable devices for additional details.

Loop Operation
When there is a short circuit on the Class A loop with isolators installed, the isolators isolate the shorted fault, the
panel detects it as an open loop and generates an open loop trouble.
When a Class A loop is opened there may be a few missing devices reported by the panel which will be restored
once the panel has established the Class A connection.
Note: When there is an "Open loop trouble" look for both open and shorts on the loop. As a guideline, the
isolators which are activated in response to a short will have their LED ON; look for the short
between the two isolators with their LEDs ON.

After completing the system checkout procedures outlined above,
8. Power up the panel. The "AC ON" green LED and the “Common Trouble” LED should illuminate, and the
buzzer should sound. Press the “System Reset” button. Since the batteries are not connected, the trouble
buzzer should sound intermittently and the common trouble LED should flash.
9. Connect the batteries while observing correct polarity: the red wire is positive (+) and black wire is negative(-).
All indicators should be OFF except for normal power "AC ON" green LED.
10.Configure the Fire Alarm Control Panel as described in the System Configuration section.
Troubleshooting
Normally when a circuit trouble occurs, its designated trouble indicator will be illuminated, as well as the
common trouble indicator and trouble buzzer. To correct the fault, check for open wiring on that particular
Circuit Trouble
circuit loop or that the Circuit Disconnect Switch is in the ON or CLOSED position. Note: Disconnecting a
Circuit will cause a system trouble (off-normal position).
Remote Trouble will be indicated on the main panel display for any failure reported by, or failure to
Remote Trouble
communicate with a remote annunciator or other remote device.
This panel has a common ground fault detector. To correct the fault, check for any external wiring touching the
Ground Fault
chassis or other Earth Ground connection.
Check for the presence of batteries and their conditions. Low voltage (below 20.4V) will cause a battery
Battery Trouble
trouble. If battery trouble condition persists, replace batteries as soon as possible.
Walk Test Mode If the Walk Test LED is illuminated steadily, the system is in Walk Test Mode.
If only a common trouble is indicated on the main panel and none of the above confirming trouble indicators
are ON, check the following for possible fault:
Common Trouble • Check for any missing interconnection wiring.
• Check for any Module missing that was part of the Configuration.
• Check for improperly secured cabling.

SFC-500 Series Installation and Operation Manual
Common Indicators
Buzzer
The Buzzer is activated by any of the following:
• Fire Alarm: Steady
• Supervisory Alarm: Fast flash rate
• Trouble: trouble flash rate
• Monitor: Configurable to sound at trouble flash rate
If the buzzer turns ON in response to a non-latching trouble or supervisory, it will turn OFF if the condition causing it
goes away and there is no other reason for it to be ON.
AC On LED
The AC On LED illuminates steady green while the main AC power is AC ON
within acceptable levels. It turns off when the power level falls below the
power-fail threshold and the panel switches to standby (battery) power.
COMMON ALARM
Common Alarm LED
The Common Alarm LED illuminates steady red whenever the panel is COMMON SUPV

Indicators, Controls and Operations
Acknowledge LED
If the panel is configured as a two stage system, the Acknowledge LED flashes amber at the Fast Flash rate while
the General Alarm timer is timing. It turns ON steady amber after the Auto General Alarm Timer is cancelled by the
activation of the Acknowledge or Signal Silence buttons. If the Auto General Alarm Timer times-out and puts the
panel into General Alarm, the Acknowledge LED turns OFF. If the panel is configured as Positive Alarm Sequence
(PAS), the Acknowledge LED flashes amber at the Fast Flash rate while a timer counts down 15 seconds to
common alarm.

Two-Stage Operation
In a Two-Stage system, alarm inputs are either First Stage (alert) inputs or Second Stage (general alarm) inputs.
First stage inputs include inputs from the following types of circuits: non-verified alarm, verified alarm, and waterflow
alarm. Second stage inputs include alarms on the general alarm circuits, activation of the General Alarm button, or
expiration of the Auto General Alarm timer. Any of these alarm inputs occurring when the panel is not already in
alarm cause the following:
• The buzzer sounds steadily.
• If fire drill is active, it is cancelled.
• The Common Alarm LED turns ON
• The Common Alarm relay activates if Aux disconnect is not active.
• The Auto Signal Silence timer, if configured, starts.
• The Signal Silence Inhibit timer, if configured, starts.
• All non-disconnected outputs programmed to the input are activated provided that Aux disconnect is not active.
If the alarm is a Second Stage alarm,
• All non-disconnected strobe circuits are activated continuously, if correlated to an alarm input.
• All non-disconnected signal circuits are activated at the evacuation rate, if correlated to an alarm input.
• The General Alarm LED turns ON.
If the alarm is a First Stage alarm,
• Non-disconnected strobe circuits programmed to that circuit are activated continuously.
• Non-disconnected signal circuits programmed to that circuit are activated with the alert code (see Output Types
on page 36).
• The Auto General Alarm timer, if configured, starts.
• The Acknowledge LED starts flashing.
Subsequent First Stage alarms when the panel is already in alarm, cause the following:
• The buzzer sounds steadily.
• If signals have been silenced as a result of the silence button or the Auto signal silence timer, signals are
resounded as they were before signal silence, the Signal Silence LED turns OFF, and the Auto Signal Silence
timer, if configured, is restarted.
32
SFC-500 Series Installation and Operation Manual
• If the panel is not already in General Alarm, additional non-disconnected signals programmed to the new input
are activated with the Alert Code (see Output Types on page 36).
• If the panel is not already in General Alarm and if the Acknowledge LED is ON steady indicating that the Auto
General Alarm timer has been Acknowledged the timer is restarted and the Acknowledge LED is extinguished.
A second stage alarm (general alarm) when the panel is already in alarm causes the following:
• The buzzer sounds steadily.
• All non-disconnected signals are activated at the evacuation rate.
• If the Signal Silence LED is ON, it turns OFF and the Auto Signal Silence timer, if configured, is restarted.
• The Acknowledge LED if ON, turns OFF.
Alarm inputs are latching, they remain active until system reset.
Note: All circuits with process type designated as “signal” are automatically correlated to the “fire drill” and
“general alarm” status.

If you do not wish the change the status, press the “cancel” key
Input Types
The following is a table of input types available for programming.
When an un-bypassed non-verified alarm input goes into alarm the common alarm sequence
is activated. Un-bypassed relay, signal, and strobe outputs are updated according to their
programming and alarm zone status indicators associated with the input are activated. Alarm
input activations are displayed on the shared display in the common queue with alarm as the
highest priority and is displayed first.
Non-Verified Alarm A pre-alarm condition on a device configured as an alarm input is displayed on the shared
display and on the alarm zone status indicator. If the pre-alarm condition is restored the
status will be cleared. If the input goes from pre-alarm to alarm, the pre-alarm status will be
replaced with the alarm status for the input.
Once an alarm input is in alarm the alarm condition is latched until system reset (changes in
status from alarm to pre-alarm or to normal are ignored).
When an un-bypassed verified alarm input goes into alarm, if the system is not already in
alarm, the alarm is verified over a period of time to determine if the alarm condition is valid.
For addressable analog devices, when a device goes into alarm, a 35 second timer is started.
When the 35 second delay times out, the device is monitored for the next 60 seconds, if it
goes into alarm again during this time the alarm is confirmed. Once the alarm condition is
confirmed, the alarm is processed as for non-verified inputs.
If the system goes into alarm at any point during verification process (due to an alarm on
another device or circuit), the verification process is aborted and the alarm is immediately
confirmed. If another Verified Alarm Input goes into alarm during the verification process, the
verification is aborted and the alarm is confirmed on both inputs. A trouble detected on the
Verified Alarm circuit being verified during the verification period will also cause the verification to be aborted
and the alarm confirmed.
An alarm zone status indicator flashes during the alarm verification process. If the alarm is
confirmed the indicator will go steady, otherwise it will be turned off.
Once the system is in alarm verified alarm circuits operate the same as non-verified
circuits.The pre-alarm condition on verified alarm inputs is processed the same as non-
verified inputs; i.e. it is not verified.
A count is maintained of the number of times each verified input has gone through its
verification process without confirming an alarm. These counts can be retrieved for reporting
purposes and cleared.
34
SFC-500 Series Installation and Operation Manual
Waterflow inputs are sampled every second. If 10 samples are in alarm in any given 15
second period, an alarm condition is confirmed and the alarm is processed as for non-verified
inputs.
The alarm zone status indicator flashes whenever even one sample indicates an alarm
Waterflow Alarm
condition. If the alarm is confirmed the indicator will go steady, it will be turned off when 15
seconds elapse without any samples in the alarm condition. The waterflow retard operation
operates regardless whether or not the system is in alarm.
Note: Do not use the retard operation with any external retarding device.
When an un-bypassed supervisory input goes into alarm the common supervisory sequence
is activated. Un-bypassed relay, signal, and strobe outputs are updated according to their
programming and supervisory zone status indicators associated with the input are activated.
Supervisory activations are displayed on the shared display in the common queue with
Non-Latching supervisory as the second highest priority.
Supervisory When a non-latched supervisory input is restored, outputs programmed to it also return to
normal unless they are also programmed to other active inputs. Zone display indicators will
also be updated to indicate that the input is no longer active and the message will be removed
from the shared display common queue. If there are no other active supervisory inputs the
common supervisory condition will be restored.
Latched supervisory inputs operate the same as non-latched supervisory inputs except that
Latching
the alarm condition is latched: restoration of the circuit (from alarm to normal) is ignored until
Supervisory
system reset. Not permitted in Canada unless done so by AHJ.
Monitor input status may be reflected on monitor zone indicators and in the common queue,
with monitor having the lowest priority on the shared display. They may also be programmed
Monitor to relay, signal, and strobe outputs. When an un-bypassed monitor circuit goes into alarm,
the status display and programmed outputs are activated. When it restores the status display,
the outputs restore unless they are also programmed to other active inputs.
An alarm condition on an un-bypassed trouble only input initiates the common trouble
sequence as a non-latching trouble. The status is reflected on trouble zone indicators and in
the common queue on the shared display with trouble-only as the third priority. They may
Trouble-Only also be programmed to relay, signal, and strobe outputs.
Note that the trouble condition initiated as a result of an alarm on a trouble-only input is
separate from the circuit or device supervision trouble.
Remote switch inputs may be used to provide remote control of system common controls.
Remote switches are processed as a toggle operation. When the circuit is activated it sends
an event through the system similar to pressing the switch on the front panel. When the
circuit is restored it is ignored. For example if a remote switch is associated with the fire drill
common control activating it once when drill is not activated will turn on drill and activating it
Remote Switch again will turn off drill.
Inputs
Remote switches are supervised to ensure that they do not get "stuck" in the "ON" position. If
they remain active for more than 30 seconds a circuit trouble is generated. The trouble is
non-latching and goes away when the input is restored.
Remote switches themselves are not correlated to relay, signal, and strobe outputs although
the feature they are associated with may be.

Indicators, Controls and Operations
Output Types
This output type is for audible devices such as bells and piezo mini-horns. Signals operate in
Signal
alert (two stage) and/or evacuation rate.
Normal (non-sync):
Strobe circuits operate similar to signals except that they are always turned ON continuously
(they are not affected by the alert or evacuation rates) if configured as normal. When
configured as normal the output circuit does not use any sync protocol. Normal strobes can
be silenceable or non-silenceable.
Synchronized:
Strobe
Output circuits configured as strobes can have sync protocol for synchronization. When the
output circuit is configured as strobe and also configured as non-silenceable and the device
used on the output is a combination of horn and strobe, then if the signal silence is activated
while the circuit is active the horn(s) are silenced while the strobe keeps on flashing.
Synchronized strobes and strobe/horn models of the following manufacturers are supported:
Faraday, System Sensor, Wheelock, Secutron, and Summit.
Un-bypassed relay outputs are activated if any un-bypassed input circuit or common system
status which has been programmed to it is active. If the relay is configured as "silenceable" it
Relay
is inhibited when common auxiliary disconnect is active. Relays also turned off if they are
bypassed or if all inputs and system status correlated to it are restored or bypassed.
Note: Silencing of the horn depends on the feature provided by the manufacturer of the horn/strobe
combination. Some models of the horn/strobe combination may not have this feature and will not
work as described above.

If the device or circuit returns to normal, the system normal message will be re-displayed. If multiple pre-alarms or
alarm verification sequences are active at the same time only the first is displayed. Pressing the INFO button while
the pre-alarm or verification message is active will display additional information on the circuit or device as
described under queue display mode.
For internal troubles the 2 line message is an internally formatted message which identifies the trouble along with
any additional information which can help in diagnostics. Whenever there are active inputs in any of the queues the
display will automatically display the oldest un-viewed event in the highest priority queue. The queue priority is a
follows: alarm (highest), supervisory, trouble, monitor (lowest). During queue display mode, the messages in the
queue can be scrolled using the UP and DOWN key. For non-latching inputs (monitors, non-latching supervisory,
non-latching troubles) the message is removed from the queue when the circuit is restored. Latching input types
will only be removed at system reset.

Remote Annunciators Operation
The SFC-500 Series supports two types on annunciators: conventional LED/switch annunciators and a shared
display (LCD) annunciator. Both types are connected to the panel via the RS-485 serial link.
Supervision
The communications with each annunciator is constantly supervised both by the panel and by the annunciator. If
communications fails, the panel will activate the common trouble sequence. The number of annunciators is set
during panel configuration. If there is a mismatch in the total number of annunciators the panel will generate
communications trouble. The panel trouble is non-latching: when the correct number of annunciators is detected the
troubles will clear.
Supervision
The supervision of the shared display annunciator is same as for the remote LED annunciators
The SSR-212 Smart Relay Module is connected on the RS-485 loop along with other remote annunciators, but
provides 12 relay contact outputs which actuate according to the first 12 remote LED groups. The relays are
bypassed by Auxiliary Bypass, and the unit is supervised as one of the (maximum) eight permitted annunciators.
40
SFC-500 Series Installation and Operation Manual
Dialer Operation
The SFC-500 Series (models with a D suffix) Fire Control panels are equipped with a built-in dialer. The dialer
provides a means to communicate panel status to the remote central monitoring station using two dedicated phone
lines.
There are many standard protocols for communicating with the central monitoring station, but the two most
commonly used are supported by this panel
• SIA DCS
• Contact ID
Event Reporting
Events are reported in a special format depending upon the protocol selected.
The supervision is carried out every two minutes; first the DC voltage is supervised and if it is detected the dial tone
is monitored. If the phone lines are equipped with a house phone and with proper connection if the house phone is
in use the supervision is suspended until the house phone is ON-HOOK again.
If there is an event to be reported in the dialer queue and the house phone is in use the dialer tries the second line
to report the event if that line’s house phone is also in use the dialer seizes the line thus disconnecting the house
phone and reports the event.
The dialers that are built into select models of the SFC-500 Series Fire Alarm Control Panels are compatible with
the following Digital Alarm Communicator Receivers (DACR):

SFC-500 Series Installation and Operation Manual
Note to Installers
This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact with system users, it is your responsibility to
bring each item in this warning to the attention of the users of this system. Failure to properly inform system end-
users of the circumstances in which the system might fail may result in over-reliance upon the system. As a result,
it is imperative that you properly inform each customer for whom you install the system of the possible forms of
failure.
System Failures
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There are circumstances, such as fire or
other types of emergencies where it may not provide protection. Alarm systems of any type may be compromised
deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for a variety of reasons. Some reasons for system failure include:
•Inadequate Installation
A Fire Alarm system must be installed in accordance with all the applicable codes and standards in order to provide
adequate protection. An inspection and approval of the initial installation, or, after any changes to the system, must
be conducted by the Local Authority Having Jurisdiction. Such inspections ensure installation has been carried out
properly.
•Power Failure
Control units, smoke detectors and many other connected devices require an adequate power supply for proper
operation. If the system or any device connected to the system operates from batteries, it is possible for the
batteries to fail. Even if the batteries have not failed, they must be fully charged, in good condition and installed
correctly. If a device operates only by AC power, any interruption, however brief, will render that device inoperative
while it does not have power. Power interruptions of any length are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations which
may damage electronic equipment such as a fire alarm system. After a power interruption has occurred,
immediately conduct a complete system test to ensure that the system operates as intended.
•Failure of Replaceable Batteries
Systems with wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several years of battery life under normal
conditions. The expected battery life is a function of the device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions
such as high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the expected battery
life. While each transmitting device has a low battery monitor which identifies when the batteries need to be
replaced, this monitor may fail to operate as expected. Regular testing and maintenance will keep the system in
good operating condition.
•Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could include metal objects placed on or near the
radio path or deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.
•System Users
A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to permanent or temporary physical
disability, inability to reach the device in time, or unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It is important that all
system users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that they know how to respond when the
system indicates an alarm.
•Automatic Alarm Initiating Devices
Smoke detectors, heat detectors and other alarm initiating devices that are a part of this system may not properly
detect a fire condition or signal the control panel to alert occupants of a fire condition for a number of reasons, such
as: the smoke detectors or heat detector may have been improperly installed or positioned; smoke or heat may not
be able to reach the alarm initiating device, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side
47
Warranty & Warning Information
of closed doors; and, smoke and heat detectors may not detect smoke or heat from fires on another level of the
residence or building.
•Software
Most Summit products contain software. With respect to those products, Summit does not warranty that the
operation of the software will be uninterrupted or error-free or that the software will meet any other standard of
performance, or that the functions or performance of the software will meet the user’s requirements. Summit shall
not be liable for any delays, breakdowns, interruptions, loss, destruction, alteration or other problems in the use of a
product arising our of, or caused by, the software.
Every fire is different in the amount and rate at which smoke and heat are generated. Smoke detectors cannot
sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by
carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of
flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector or heat detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when there is
insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death.
•Alarm Notification Appliances
Alarm Notification Appliances such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn people or waken someone
sleeping if there is an intervening wall or door. If notification appliances are located on a different level of the
residence or premise, then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened. Audible notification
appliances may be interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or
other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible notification appliances, however loud, may not be heard by a hearing-
impaired person.
•Telephone Lines
If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service or busy for certain periods of time. Also the
telephone lines may be compromised by such things as criminal tampering, local construction, storms or
earthquakes.
•Insufficient Time
There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended, yet the occupants will not be protected from
the emergency due to their inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system is monitored, the
response may not occur in time enough to protect the occupants or their belongings.
•Component Failure
Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible, the system may fail to function as
intended due to the failure of a component.
•Inadequate Testing
Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as intended can be discovered by regular testing
and maintenance. The complete system should be tested as required by national standards and the Local Authority
Having Jurisdiction and immediately after a fire, storm, earthquake, accident, or any kind of construction activity
inside or outside the premises. The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating
devices and any other operational devices that are part of the system.
•Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for property or life insurance. An alarm system also
is not a substitute for property owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or minimize the
harmful effects of an emergency situation.
IMPORTANT NOTE: End-users of the system must take care to ensure that the system, batteries, telephone lines,
etc. are tested and examined on a regular basis to ensure the minimization of system failure.
