The Reset key returns the control panel to idle mode after

an alarm condition has been cleared. Trouble conditions

that have been cleared will automatically return the control

panel to idle mode if the problem has been corrected. Trou-

ble conditions that have been acknowledged will resound

the internal sounder if the condition is not corrected within

a programmed time period.

The Signal Silence key deactivates notification appliances.

This function can be modified by user programming to

operate only after a specified time period.

There are three additional programmable switches avail-

able to control application-specific operations. Keys for

programming and bypass functions, along with LEDs for

active and trouble conditions, are provided for the City

Connection, and two signal circuits which are part of the

Common Control section.

Other Panel/System Components

The IF650 COMMON CONTROL SECTION comprises the

heart of the system. The common control section houses

the main CPU and all system memory as well as providing

local and remote communications and supervision. The

common control contains the common system relays, two

signal circuits, city tie, and optional EIA-232 port. All inter-

action with the common control section is through the oper-

ator’s display panel. Four relay circuits control auxiliary

functions. The relays, rated at 10 Amps, are controlled by

the main CPU. Two 24 VDC notification appliance circuits

(NAC) are provided. The NACs can provide a steady or

coded output. All circuits are power-limited per NEC 760

and UL 864.

The IF650 ANALOG INTERFACE MODULE (AAM95-

1,2,4) occupies one bay and has from one to four circuits

that can monitor and control up to 126 addressable/analog

devices each for a total of 504 points per bay. Gamewell-

FCI IF650 systems can be configured for up to 2016 points.

The analog interface module has a dedicated microproces-

sor which simultaneously communicates with the con-

nected field devices and the main CPU. This feature allows

the IF650 to maintain maximum communications speed

throughout the system. Analog/addressable circuits can be

wired as non-polarized in Style 4, 6, or 7. The communica-

tions protocol provides for alarm verification per detector,

detector adjustability and compensation, adjustable analog

heat detector range (131°F to 194°F/55°C to 90°C), circuit

isolation, and priority interrupts. Priority interrupts allow

contact-type devices such as manual fire alarm stations to

interrupt the polling cycle and transmit their addresses at

any time during a polling sequence. The digital protocol

allows the IF650 to operate on most types of field wiring,

greatly expanding its use in retrofit applications (consult

The CONVENTIONAL INPUT MODULE (CIM-8) occupies

one bay and provides eight hard-wired input circuits for

monitoring

conventional

detectors

and

contact-type

devices. The CIM-8 monitors and reports each circuit’s

analog status to the CPU as it distinguishes between

detectors and contact devices and determines if two or

more detectors are in alarm. Each input module uses one

slot in the MPU bus and is supplied with its own display

module. The display module provides LED annunciation of

alarm and trouble conditions and has a switch (per circuit)

for programming and bypass functions. The display has

space for user-defined custom labels for each circuit.

Beyond normal alarm and supervisory functions, the input

circuits can be programmed for Remote Acknowledge,

Reset, Signal Silence, and Release Abort switches. Cir-

cuits can be wired for Style B, D, and E service and are

capable of monitoring normally-closed devices.

The 600 Series UNIVERSAL SIGNAL MODULE (USM-8)

occupies one bay and is a multifunctional eight-circuit out-

put module. USM-8 modules communicate via the MPU

bus and require one expansion slot each. The USM can be

configured as 24 VDC signaling circuits. Modules are pro-

grammed in two-circuit increments, making it possible to

perform all four functions with a single module. Signal cir-

cuits provide steady or coded outputs. All circuits are

power-limited per NEC 760 and UL 864. Signal circuits can

be wired in either Style Y or Z. Signal modules are supplied

with their own display that provides LED annunciation of

activation and trouble conditions and has a switch (per cir-

cuit) for programming and bypass functions. The display

has space for user-defined custom labels for each circuit.

The 600 Series POWER SUPPLY (MPS-8) furnishes sys-

tem operating and signaling power. The supply is equipped

with a battery charger for maintaining the secondary power

source. The power supply is monitored by the main CPU to

ensure that adequate power levels are maintained. The

power supply design allows for high efficiency while provid-

ing precise power output. The battery charger is capable of

operating with lead-acid batteries and maintaining up to 50

AH batteries. Multiple auxiliary power supplies (APS-8)

may be added to the system when additional power is

required.

The 600 Series RELAY MODULE (RM-8) supplies eight

NO/NC relays for control of auxiliary functions. The relays

are controlled by the main CPU and are fully programma-

ble. Each position on the MPU bus can accommodate a

relay module. The relays are rated at 10 Amps and each is
