System Overview ─ (continued)
The FireFinder XLS system has been seismic qualified
in accordance with:
International Building Code, 2006 Edition
California Building Code, 2007 Edition
ASCE Standard 7, 2005 Edition
OSHPD CAN 2-1708A.5, Rev. 3
ICC-ES AC 156, Effective 1/1/2007
FireFinder XLS is also OSHPD preapproved under:
OSP-0057-10.
FireFinder XLS Components
The basic XLS control unit consists of the following sub-
assemblies: Person Machine Interface (Model PMI); Power
Supply (Model PSC-12); Device Loop Card (Model DLC);
Zone Indicating Card (Model ZIC-4A); Card cage (Model
CC-5); Inner Door Blank Single Plate (Model ID-SP); CAB-1,
CAB-2 or CAB-3 enclosures.
Optional modules that can be installed with the XLS System
include: Card Cage (Model CC-2); Network Interface Card
(Model NIC-C); Zone Indicating Card 8 circuits (Models ZIC-
8B / ZIC-2C); Control Relay Card (Model CRC-6); Output
Control Module (Model OCM-16); Switch Control
Module (Model SCM-8); LED Control Module (Model LCM-
8); Fan Control Module (Model FCM-6); Supervised Input
Module (Model SIM-16); Power Supply Extender (Model PSX-
12); Remote Network Interface (Model RNI); Remote
Printer Module (Model RPM); System Status Display
(Model SSD); Multi-Point Digital Alarm Communicator
(Model MDACT); Two-Module Remote Enclosure (Model
REMBOX2); Four-Module Remote Enclosure (Model
REMBOX4).
The XLS panel is compatible with a full line of intelligent
initiating devices, highlighted by the FirePrint application-
specified detectors: Models HFP-11 and HFPT-11. XLS is also
compatible with the NCC series of graphics command
centers.
PMI Person Machine Interface
PMI Person Machine Interface
The Person Machine Interface (Model PMI) is the core of the
FireFinder XLS system. Model PMI serves as both
operator interface and central microprocessor for the
FireFinder XLS system. From Model PMI, the end user can
acknowledge events, control the system-notification
appliance circuits and reset the system. Detailed
information about the nature and location of the events can
also be displayed.
Model PMI contains the site-specific program configuration
created in the Zeus system software-programming tool.
The controller in Model PMI provides all system logic and
supervision. Model PMI contains a large, 6" (1/4 VGA)
monochrome LCD display, touch screen and LEDs for
displaying system status. A sound is made when there is
any unacknowledged event from Model PMI. The display
is surrounded by keys that are used to control the
displayed information and to navigate through these
screens. Keys are also provided to obtain and enter "Help"
into the menu features of Model PMI.
The FireFinder system is controlled and operated from
Model PMI. The intuitive person machine interface uses
large, lighted buttons to prompt users as to the next
correct system operation that is available (Acknowledge,
Silence, Unsilence, Audible or Reset).
DLC Device Loop Card
DLC Device Loop Card
The DLC Device Loop Card (Model DLC) is the interface for
connection with FireFinder XLS detectors and initiating
devices
─
including manual stations, control and input
devices. Model DLC plugs into one (1) slot of the CC-2 or CC-
5 card cage. Programming Model DLC is accomplished
using the FireFinder XLS Zeus system software-
programming tool. Model DLC takes one (1) address on the
network, and communicates with two (2) device
circuits for a total of 252 detectors and devices. Model
DLC has 12 LEDs for diagnostic purposes, and provides
ground-fault detection and zone-isolation circuitry.
