See General Information for Signal and Fire Alarm Equipment and Services
GENERAL
This category covers electrical control units for fireprotective signaling systems in accordance
with ANSI/NFPA 72, "National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code."
Products bear marking with respect to the installation environment (indoor or outdoor) and
location (dry, damp or wet). Products investigated for outdoor locations, or indoor locations in
ambient temperatures constantly more than 25°C are marked with the rated ambient air
temperature.
A control unit consists of a unit assembly of electrical parts having provision for connection of
powersupply circuits routed through the control unit equipment by a prescribed scheme of
circuiting. The circuits are extended to separate devices by which the operating parts of the
control units are actuated for signals and to separate or incorporated appliances by which the
signals are indicated, so as to form a coordinated system combination for definite signaling
services.
The Listee of a control unit furnishes the related actuating devices and signalindicating
appliances for use with the control unit or indicates the particular devices and appliances
required and supplies any instructions necessary to complete their interconnection at the
installation.
The individual certifications indicate that wiring diagrams have been submitted with the control
unit, along with information regarding its intended application, and the unit has been tested with
representative actuating devices and signalindicating devices to be used with it as an
interrelated assembly. Reference is made in the marking of the control unit to the wiring
diagram showing complete information except when the installation wiring diagram is secured to
the control unit.

Identification of the control unit system type is indicated in the individual certifications as:
AUX Auxiliary System
CS Central Station System
L Local System
LS Local System with Shunttype Connection to Master Box
P Proprietary System
PPU Protected Premises Unit
RS Remote Station System
RU Supervising Station Receiving Unit
System Control Unit with Emergency Voice Communication — A system control unit with
emergency voice communication consists of a control unit that employs a speaker system in
lieu of conventional general alarmindicating circuits. The control unit may also have additional
provision for telephone communication by use of hand sets.
System Control Unit with Emergency Telephone Communication — A system control unit
with emergency telephone communication consists of a control unit with conventional general
alarmindicating circuits and additionally employs telephone communication circuits to remote
telephone hand sets for emergency communication during a fire condition, usually for use by
fire department personnel.
The initiating device types that can be connected to the control unit system types indicated in
the individual certifications are:
A Automatic Fire Alarm: thermostats, smoke detectors, etc.
CO Carbon Monoxide Alarm: carbon monoxide detectors
M Manual Fire Alarm: manually operated boxes
SS Supervisory: gate valves, waterlevel switches, temperature switches, carbon
monoxide alarms, residential fire alarm control units, etc.
WF Waterflow Alarm: waterflow switches
WSS Watchman's Supervisory Service
The signaling types applicable for each control unit system type indicated in the individual
certifications are:
C Coded
DAC Digital Alarm Communicator
M March Time
MX Multiplex
NC Noncoded, Steady, Temporal 3 Pattern, etc.
OT Other Transmission Technologies
PB Performancebased Technologies
Rev Pol Reverse Polarity
T4 Temporal 4 Pattern
1WRF Radio Frequency (oneway private radio)
2WRF Radio Frequency (twoway private radio)
Carbon monoxide detectors interconnected with the fire alarm control unit system to produce a
carbon monoxide alarm are investigated to ANSI/UL 2075, "Gas and Vapor Detectors and
Sensors." Carbon monoxide alarm equipment interconnected with the fire alarm system to
produce a supervisory signal is investigated to ANSI/UL 2034 "Single and Multiple Station
Carbon Monoxide Alarms."
Where more than one control unit system type is indicated for a model number, such as L, LS,
AUX and RS (PPU), that particular model is suitable for all the indicated applications. The
change from one type to another may be made by deletion or addition of a panel or module
inside the control unit cabinet or revisions to operating software to provide the additional
function. In other cases a control unit may be suitable for a dual function without any panel
changes.
Authorities Having Jurisdiction should be consulted before installation or revision.

REQUIREMENTS
The basic standard used to investigate products in this category is ANSI/UL 864, "Control Units
and Accessories for Fire Alarm Systems" (9th ed., issued September 30, 2003, last revised
August 31, 2012; or 10th ed., issued December 1, 2014).
Some products covered under this category have also been investigated to ANSI/SIA CP01
