FlashScan, Exclusive
World-Leading Detector Protocol
At the heart of the NFS2-640 is a set of detection devices and
device protocol FlashScan (U.S. Patent 5,539,389). FlashScan is an all-digital protocol that gives superior precision and
high noise immunity.

In addition to providing quick identification of an active input

device, this protocol can also activate many output devices in a
fraction of the time required by competitive protocols. This high
speed also allows the NFS2-640 to have the largest device per
loop capacity in the industry 318 points yet every input
and output device is sampled in less than two seconds. The
microprocessor-based FlashScan detectors have bicolor LEDs
that can be coded to provide diagnostic information, such as
device address during Walk Test.

ONYX Intelligent Sensing

Intelligent sensing is a set of software algorithms that provides
the NFS2-640 with industry-leading smoke detection capability. These complex algorithms require many calculations on
each reading of each detector, and are made possible by the
high-speed microcomputer used by the NFS2-640.
Drift Compensation and Smoothing: Drift compensation
allows the detector to retain its original ability to detect actual
smoke, and resist false alarms, even as dirt accumulates. It
reduces maintenance requirements by allowing the system to
automatically perform the periodic sensitivity measurements
required by NFPA 72. Smoothing filters are also provided by
software to remove transient noise signals, such as those
caused by electrical interference.
Maintenance Warnings: When the drift compensation performed for a detector reaches a certain level, the performance
of the detector may be compromised, and special warnings
are given. There are three warning levels: (1) Low Chamber
value; (2) Maintenance Alert, indicative of dust accumulation
that is near but below the allowed limit; (3) Maintenance
Urgent, indicative of dust accumulation above the allowed limit.
Sensitivity Adjust: Nine sensitivity levels are provided for
alarm detection. These levels can be set manually, or can
change automatically between day and night. Nine levels of
pre-alarm sensitivity can also be selected, based on predetermined levels of alarm. Pre-alarm operation can be latching or
self-restoring, and can be used to activate special control functions.
Self-Optimizing Pre-Alarm: Each detector may be set for
Self-Optimizing pre-alarm. In this special mode, the detector
learns its normal environment, measuring the peak analog
readings over a long period of time, and setting the pre-alarm
level just above these normal peaks.
Cooperating Multi-Detector Sensing: A patented feature of
ONYX intelligent sensing is the ability of a smoke sensor to
consider readings from nearby sensors in making alarm or
pre-alarm decisions. Without statistical sacrifice in the ability to
resist false alarms, it allows a sensor to increase its sensitivity
to actual smoke by a factor of almost two to one.

Field Programming Options

Autoprogram is a timesaving feature. The FACP learns what
devices are physically connected and automatically loads
them in the program with default values for all parameters.
Requiring less than one minute to run, this routine allows the
user to have almost immediate fire protection in a new installation, even if only a portion of the detectors are installed.
Keypad Program Edit (with KDM-R2) The NFS2-640, like all
NOTIFIER intelligent panels, has the exclusive feature of program creation and editing capability from the front panel keypad, while continuing to provide fire protection. The
architecture of the NFS2-640 software is such that each point
entry carries its own program, including control-by-event links
to other points. This allows the program to be entered with
independent per-point segments, while the NFS2-640 simultaneously monitors other (already installed) points for alarm conditions.
DN-7111:J 09/09/2014 Page 3 of 8

VeriFire Tools is an offline programming and test utility that

can greatly reduce installation programming time, and
increase confidence in the site-specific software. It is Windows-based and provides technologically advanced capabilities to aid the installer. The installer may create the entire
program for the NFS2-640 in the comfort of the office, test it,
store a backup file, then bring it to the site and download from
a laptop into the panel.

Placement of Equipment
in Chassis and Cabinet
The following guidelines outline the NFS2-640s flexible system design.
Rows: The first row of equipment in the cabinet mounts in the
chassis shipped with the FACP. Mount the second, third, or
fourth rows of equipment in a CHS-4 series chassis or, for Digital Voice Command products, in CA-1 or CA-2. (For DVC-EM
and DAA2/DAX components see DVC Manual; for DS series
components see DS-AMP Manual; for DVC-AO applications,
see AA Series Installation Manual). Other options are available; see your panels installation manual.
Wiring: When designing the cabinet layout, consider separation of power-limited and non-power-limited wiring as discussed in the NFS2-640 Installation Manual.
Positions: A chassis offers four basic side-by-side positions
for components; the number of modules that can be mounted
in each position depends on the chassis model and the size of
the individual module. There are a variety of standoffs and
hardware items available for different combinations and configurations of components.
It is critical that all mounting holes of the NFS2-640 are
secured with a screw or standoff to ensure continuity of Earth
Ground.
Layers: The control panels chassis accepts four layers of
equipment, including the control panel. The CPU2-640 fills
three positions (left to right) in the first-installed layer (the back
of the chassis); its integral power supply occupies the center
two positions in the next two layers; the optional display occupies (the left) two positions at the front, flush with the door.
Some equipment, such as the NCA-2, may be mounted in the
dress panel directly in front of the control panel. The NCA-2
can be used as a primary display for the NFS2-640 (use NCA/
640-2-KIT) by directly connecting their network ports (required
in Canadian stand-alone applications); see NCA-2 data sheet
for mounting options (DN-7047).
Expansion: Installing an LEM-320 Loop Expander Module
adds a second SLC loop to the control panel. The LEM-320 is
mounted onto the CPU2-640, occupying the middle-right, second (back) slot on the chassis.
Networking: If networking two or more control panels, each
unit requires a Network Communication Module or HighSpeed Network Communication Module. (HS-NCM can support two nodes; see Networking Options on page 5). These
modules can be installed in any option board position (see
manual), and additional option boards can be mounted in front
of the network communication modules.

KDM-R2 Controls and Indicators

Program Keypad: QWERTY type (keyboard layout, see
figure).
12 LED indicators: Power; Fire Alarm; Pre-Alarm; Security;
Supervisory; System Trouble; Signals Silenced; Points Disabled; Control Active; Abort; Pre-Discharge; Discharge.
Keypad Switch Controls: Acknowledge/Scroll Display; Signal
Silence; Drill; System Reset; Lamp Test.

FAPT-851
Acclimate Plus Multi-Sensor
Low-Profile Intelligent Detector
Intelligent/Addressable Devices

General
The Notifier FAPT-851 Acclimate Plus detector is an intelligent, addressable, multi-sensing, low-profile detector
designed for use with the Notifier AFP-300, AFP-400,
AFP1010, AM2020 (classic mode only); and with the ONYX
Series NFS-640, NFS2-640, NFS-3030 and NFS2-3030 (classic or FlashScan modes) Fire Alarm Control Panels.

FlashScan (U.S. Patent 5,539,389) is a communication protocol developed to greatly enhance the speed of communication
between analog intelligent devices and compatible systems.
Intelligent devices communicate in a grouped fashion. If one of
the devices within the group has new information, the panels
CPU stops the group poll and concentrates on single points.
The net effect is response speed greater than five times that of
earlier designs.

M
ar

The Acclimate Plus detector uses a combination of photoelectric and thermal sensing technologies that are designed to
increase immunity to false alarms. Unlike traditional intelligent
detectors, the Acclimate Plus detector has a microprocessor in
the detector head that processes alarm data. As a result, the
Acclimate Plus detector adjusts its sensitivity automatically,
without needing operator intervention or control panel programming.

Automatically adjusts sensitivity levels without the need for

operator intervention or programming. Sensitivity increases
with heat.

FST-851 Series
Intelligent Thermal (Heat) Detectors
with FlashScan
Intelligent/Addressable Devices

General
Notifier FST-851 Series intelligent plug-in smoke detectors
with integral communication provide features that surpass conventional detectors. Detector sensitivity can be programmed in
the control panel software. Sensitivity is continuously monitored and reported to the panel. Point ID capability allows each
detectors address to be set with decade address switches,
providing exact detector locations for selective maintenance
when chamber contamination reaches an unacceptable level.
FST-851 Series thermal detectors use an innovative thermistor
sensing circuit to produce 135F/57C fixed-temperature (FST851) and rate-of-rise thermal detection (FST-851R) in a lowprofile package. FST-851H provides fixed high-temperature
detection at 190F/88C. These thermal detectors provide cost
effective, intelligent property protection in a variety of applications. FST-851 Series detectors are compatible with all Notifier
intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs).

6936pho1.jpg

FST-851 Series in B710LP base

FlashScan (U.S. Patent 5,539,389) is a communication protocol developed by Notifier Engineering that greatly enhances
the speed of communication between analog intelligent
devices and certain NOTIFIER systems. Intelligent devices
communicate in a grouped fashion. If one of the devices within
the group has new information, the panels CPU stops the
group poll and concentrates on single points. The net effect is
response speed greater than five times that of earlier designs.

Plugs into separate base for ease of installation and maintenance. Separate base allows interchange of photoelectric, ionization and thermal sensors.
SEMS screws for wiring of the separate base.
Constructed of off-white Bayblend, designed to commercial standards, and offers an attractive appearance.
94-5V plastic flammability rating.
Remote LED output connection to optional RA400Z remote
LED annunciator.
Optional sounder, relay, and isolator bases.
Optional recessed (RMK400) or surface (SMK400) base
mounting kits.

ISO-X
Fault Isolator Module
Intelligent/Addressable Devices

General
The Notifier ISO-X Fault Isolator Module is used with the NFS3030, NFS2-3030, NFS-640, NFS2-640, NFS-320, and AFP200 to protect the system against wire-to-wire short circuits on
the SLC loops.

Features

2243isox.wmf

Powered by SLC loop directly, no external power required.

Mount in standard 4.0" (10.16 cm) square (2.125" [5.398
cm] deep) junction boxes.
Integral LED blinks to indicate normal condition. Illuminates
steady when short circuit condition is detected.
High noise (EMF/RFI) immunity.
Wide viewing angle of LED.
SEMS screws with clamping plates for ease of wiring.
Opens SLC loop automatically on detection of short, preventing the short from causing failure of the entire loop.
Automatically resets on correction of short.
Supports Style 4, 6, or 7 wiring.

ISO-X

Applications
The Fault Isolator Modules should be spaced between groups
of sensors in a loop to protect the rest of the loop. Use to isolate short circuit problems within a section of a loop so that
other sections can continue to operate normally. The ISO-X
supports a maximum of 25 devices in-between isolators,
except when using relay bases or IPX multisensors.
NOTE: ON LOADS PER RELAY BASE AND MULTI-SENSOR
DETECTORS/ISOLATORS/ISOLATOR BASES: the maximum
number of addressable devices between isolators (or B224BI isolator bases) is 25 devices.

g2243dia1.wmf

B224RB relay bases and IPX-751 multisensor detectors draw

more current than all other intelligent devices. When calculating the 25-device maximum:
B224RB represents 2.5 devices.
IPX-751 in a standard base represents 12 devices.
IPX-751 in a relay base represents 14.5 devices.
All other addressable devices represent 1 device.
See examples on page 2.
NOTE: ON MAXIMUM NUMBER OF DEVICES: See the SLC
Manual (p/n 51253) for information on loss of addresses due to
current limitations. Each module or base added reduces the
capacity of address positions in an SLC. All SLC field devices must
have been purchased after February 1995 to meet the aforementioned requirements. If the SLC field devices were purchased prior
to February 1995, each ISO-X used reduces the capacity of an
SLC by two address positions. Requirements differ as applied to
relay bases (see note above).

Construction
The face plate is made of off-white plastic. Includes yellow
LED indicator that pulses when normal and illuminates steady
when a short is detected.

Operation
Automatically opens circuit when the line voltage drops below
four volts. Fault Isolator Modules should be spaced between
groups of addressable devices (maximum 25, see notes on
page 1) in a loop to protect the rest of the loop. If a short
occurs between any two isolators, then both isolators immediately switch to an open circuit state and isolate the groups of
sensors between them. The remaining units on the loop continue to fully operate.
In Style 4 loops, the ISO-X is generally used at each T-tap
branch, to limit the effect of short circuits on a branch to the
devices on that branch. The LED indicator is on continuously
during a short circuit condition.
The ISO-X Fault Isolator Module automatically restores the
shorted portion of the communications loop to normal condition when the short circuit condition is removed.

Installation
Mount on a standard 4" (10.16 cm) mounting junction box
which is at least 2.125" (5.398 cm) deep.
Terminal screws are provided for in and out wiring.
Installation instructions are provided with each module.
Surface-mount box is available as an option.

The NBG-12LX
Addressable Manual Pull Station

NotiPullStation.jpg

Features

Installation
The NBG-12LX will mount semi-flush into a single-gang, double-gang, or standard 4" (10.16 cm) square electrical outlet
box, or will surface mount to the model SB-10 or SB-I/O surface backbox. If the NBG-12LX is being semi-flush mounted,
then the optional trim ring (BG12TR) may be used. The
BG12TR is usually needed for semi-flush mounting with 4"
(10.16 cm) or double-gang boxes (not with single-gang boxes).

Operation
Pushing in, then pulling down on the handle causes it to latch
in the down/activated position. Once latched, the word ACTIVATED (in bright yellow) appears at the top of the handle,
while a portion of the handle protrudes from the bottom of the
station. To reset the station, simply unlock the station with the
key and pull the door open. This action resets the handle; closing the door automatically resets the switch.
Each manual station, on command from the control panel,
sends data to the panel representing the state of the manual
switch. Two rotary decimal switches allow address settings
(1 159 on FlashScan systems, 1 99 on CLIP systems).

Architectural/Engineering
Specifications
Manual Fire Alarm Stations shall be non-coded, with a keyoperated reset lock in order that they may be tested, and so
designed that after actual Emergency Operation, they cannot
be restored to normal except by use of a key. An operated station shall automatically condition itself so as to be visually
detected as activated. Manual stations shall be constructed of
red-colored polycarbonate material with clearly visible operating instructions provided on the cover. The word FIRE shall
appear on the front of the stations in white letters, 1.00 inches
(2.54 cm) or larger. Stations shall be suitable for surface

DN-6726:C 09/02/2009 Page 1 of 2

mounting on matching backbox SB-10 or SB-I/O; or semi-flush

mounting on a standard single-gang, double-gang, or 4"
(10.16 cm) square electrical box, and shall be installed within
the limits defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
or per national/local requirements. Manual Stations shall be
Underwriters Laboratories listed.
Manual stations shall connect with two wires to one of the control panel SLC loops. The manual station shall, on command
from the control panel, send data to the panel representing the

03 - Wrexham Mineral Cables

Introduction
Established in 1989 Wrexham Mineral Cables developed a totally
new and unique process for the continuous manuafcture of Mineral
Insulated Cables - the only True Fire Survival Cable.
The specially designed equipment is housed in 3700 square metres
of purpose built factory located in Ruabon, Wrexham, North Wales.
The quality and reliability of Wrexham Mineral Cables is recognised
world wide and throughout the electrical industry. Our cables are
manufactured to meet British and European standards, achieving
endorsements & certifications from many regulatory bodies
including BRE - LPCB, the world renowned approvals body for fire
performance products, Warrington Fire Research Centre & London
Underground. The termination glands and increased safety seals
are SIRA - ATEX EExd approved.
Wrexham Mineral Cables has also manufactured for the Australian,
Canadian and American markets and has a UL listing.

Some of the many standards and approvals for which we hold certificates:
ISO 9001:2008
BS EN 60702-1:2002 [WAS BS 6207]
BS EN 8434-2:2003
BS EN 50267-2-1:1999

Why Mineral?
Mineral Insulated Cable is totally Inorganic
and Silicone free in construction. The main
construction consists of copper conductors
(cores), highly compressed magnesium oxide
(insulation) and a copper sheath. This unique
construction gives melting points of 1083C
and 2800C for the copper and insulation
repectively. This provides fire survival whilst
continuing to carry a load in temperatures in
excess of 1000C.
Mineral Insulated Cables are used to provide
circuit integrity for power and control circuits
of critical equipment such as:

BS EN 5839-1:2002 CLAUSE 26.2ENHANCED

BS EN 50200:2006 CLASS PH120
BS 6387 CWZ
SIRA 02ATEX M170, 1305X, 3304U

Nuclear reactors
Air pressurisation systems for stairwells
Hospital operating rooms
Fire alarm systems
Emergency power systems
Emergency lighting systems
Sprinkler systems
Temperature measurement devices; RTDs, thermocouples
Critical process valves - petrochemical industry
Public buildings e.g. theatres, cinemas, hotels, schools
Transport hubs - railway stations, airports etc.
Tunnels and mines
Areas where flammable gases may be present
Areas where corrosive chemicals may be present
Building plant rooms
Power stations, foundries
Close to or inside industrial foundries, kilns and ovens

Product Profile

Copper conductors (Cu-ETP-2) embedded in compressed

Magnesium Oxide insulation (MgO) with a copper outer
sheath (Cu-DHP)
This unique composition ensures our cable can withstand temperatures in excess of 1000C and still operate at its rated
voltage. This impressive performance can add vital time to escape a fire and makes it ideal for use in large developments
such as hospitals, malls, airports, schools, underground rail systems and factories which house large numbers of people.

Fire Resistant

High Mechanical Strength

Will neither burn nor support combustion.

One of the key features of our mineral cables is its ablility to withstand
considerable stresses such as bending, twisting and flattening.

High Operation Temperatures

Continuous operating temperature up to 250C and for shorter periods
up to 1083C, the melting point of copper.

Inherent Flameproof Barrier

With a non-flammable copper sheath the highly compacted
insulation will resist the transmission of vapours, gases and flames
between items of equipment connected by the cable.

Earth Continuity
Our cables do not require a separate earth continuity conductor as
the outer copper sheath serves this purpose providing excellent low
resistance earth continuity.

Pliable

Non-Ageing

Mineral insulated cable is fully annealed and consequently extremely

ductile and easily manipulated to follow existing wiring routes and
irregular shapes.

Mineral insulated cable is permanent and does not weaken or

degrade with age offering longer and safer life spans.

Small Overall Diameter

Our cables have a smaller diameter
than soft skinned fire resistant cables
of equivalent ratings.

Air tight
Impervious to water, oil and gas.

Product Testing
We have our own purpose built test lab where we continually
test our products against soft skinned fire resistant cables. Both
cables are tested simultaneously under the same conditions.

AT 30 SECONDS

When a flame is introduced the outer LSF cover burns away

on both cables.

AT 3 MINUTES

The mineral cable now has the bare copper sheath exposed
and the fire resistant cable is exposing its inner cores. At this
point we introduce the impact test where both cables are
directly struck by a flat, free fall bar at timed intervals. The fire
resistant cables generally fail on the first impact while our
mineral cables are able to withstand constant impact at the
same point for over 1000 strikes without circuit failure and while
still exposed to a flame.

AT 4 MINUTES

The flame is now removed. The fire resistant cable has failed
circuit integrity and all critical circuits are now dead.
Alarmingly, all fire resistant cables tested continue to burn
once the flame is removed which would help sustain and
spread fire. Our Mineral cables will not support fire as the
solid copper sheath and mineral insulation are non flammable
thus continuing to protect all critical circuits.

The most important test procedures

Corrosive fire gases
This test procedure provides information if the insulation material of the sheath material
of cable creates corrosive gases in the event of fire.
Halogen parts or other material in small quantities
can be easily identified with this test due to the strong
change of pH-value and the conductivity. The conductivity is < 10mS/mm

Corrosion test of fire gases

- IEC 60754-1/-2,
- EN 50267-2-1/-2-2,
- VDE 0482-267-2-1/-2-2

Burning behaviour of a single cable

This test method tests a 60 cm long cable sample
for burning behaviour.
This means that the flame must extinguish itself and
the burn damage must not reach the upper end of
sample.

Test of Burning behaviour

of a single tube or cable
- IEC 60332-1-1/-2,
- EN 60332-1-1/-2,
- VDE 0482-332-1-1/-2

Burning behaviour of a cable bundle

This test method tests a 360 cm long cable
bundle with regard to fire propagation.
This means that flames must
extinguish themselves and burn
damage must not exceed a defined
height.

Test of Burning behaviour of a cable bundle

- IEC 60332-3-/-22/-23
/-24/-25 Cat. A-D
- EN 50266-2-2/-3/-4/-5
Cat. A-D
- VDE 0482-266-2-2/-3
/-4/-5 Cat. A-D

Smoke density test

This test checks smoke development when burning
the cable or the impairment of the visibility by burning cables.
The reduction in light transparency is measured in a
standard chamber.

Test of smoke density

- IEC 61034-1/-2,
- EN 61034-1/-2
(EN 50268-1/-2),
- VDE 0482-1034-1/-2
- (VDE 0482-268-1/-2)

Daetwyler Cables

Test of circuit integrity (FE)

This test establishes whether a single cable can maintain circuit
integrity during and after exposure to a fire for a time period of at
least 180 minutes. Cables which fulfil the requiremetns of this test
are marked with <<FE180>> after their type designation.
There is no obligation to test
the cable for functional integrity
beyond the designated period.

Circuit integrity
(Fire and water)
- BS 6387 (cat.W) [650C]
- VdS 3423 [>830C]

/-25 [>750C]
- BS 6387 (cat. C) [950C]
- VDE 0472-814 [>750C]

Remark:
This test is not equivalent to the test for functional integrity according to DIN 4102-12

Test of Circuit integrity

of electrical cable installations
This standard describes the requirements and
the actions for the achievement of the functional integrity of electrical cable installations in the event of fire.
While the circuit integrity FE provides only for the
test of single cables, the cables here are tested in
connection with practical fixing systems.
It is important to appreciate that there is no connection
between the two standards, circuit integrity (FE/PH)
and system circuit integrity (E).
The test is carried out and certified from state
recognised institutes.
Test of circuit integrity
of electrical cable installations
- DIN 4102-12 (E30-E90)
- (NBN 713.020 (Rf1, Rf11/2))

Better than the standard!

This test (E30-E90) is now the world wide standard for guaranteeing functional integrity
of the complete electrical cable installation, including the fixing components, under
normal operating conditions.
