IFC-640

Intelligent Addressable

Fire Alarm System

General

As a stand-alone small-to-large system, or as a large network, the IFC-640 meets virtually every application requirement.

Designed with modularity and for ease of system planning, the IFC-640 can be configured with just a few devices for small building applications, or for a large campus or high-rise applica- tion. Simply add additional peripheral equipment to suit the application.

Features

•One, expandable to two, isolated intelligent Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) Style 4, 6 or 7.

•Up to 159 detectors (any mix of ion, photo, thermal, or multi- sensor) and 159 modules (N.O. manual stations, two-wire smoke, notification, or relay) per SLC. 318 devices per loop/ 636 per FACP or network node.

•Standard 80-character display, 640-character large display, or display-less (a node on a network).

•Network option – 103 nodes supported (IFC-640, JNCA Net- work Annunciator, or IFW Network Control Station).

•6.0 amp switch mode power supply with four Class A/B built- in Notification Appliance Circuits (NAC). Selectable System Sensor strobe synchronization.

•Built-in Alarm, Trouble, and Supervisory relays.

•Up to 64 output circuits per FACP or network node; circuits configurable online.

•Autoprogramming and Walk Test reports.

•Optional universal 636-point DACT.

•80-character remote annunciators (up to 32).

•EIA-485 annunciators, including custom graphics.

•Printer interface (80-column and 40-column printers).

•History file with 800-event capacity in nonvolatile memory, plus separate 200-event alarm-only file.

•Alarm Verification selection per point, with tally.

•Autoprogramming and Walk Test reports.

•Positive Alarm Sequence (PAS) Presignal.

•Silence inhibit and Auto Silence timer options.

•March time / temporal / California two-stage coding / strobe synchronization.

•Field-programmable on panel or on PC

•Full QWERTY keypad.

•Charger for up to 90 hours of standby power.

•Non-alarm points for lower priority functions.

•Remote ACK/Signal Silence/System Reset/Drill via monitor modules.

•Automatic time control functions, with holiday exceptions.

•Surface Mount Technology (SMT) electronics.

•Extensive, built-in transient protection.

•Powerful Boolean logic equations.

JNCA 640-CHARACTER DISPLAY FEATURES:

• Backlit, 640-character display.

•Supports SCS Series smoke control system in both HVAC or FSCS modes .

•Printer and CRT EIA-232 ports.

•EIA-485 annunciator and terminal mode ports.

•Alarm, Trouble, Supervisory, and Security relays.

FLASHSCAN® INTELLIGENT FEATURES:

•Poll 318 devices in less than two seconds.

•Activate up to 159 outputs in less than five seconds.

•Multicolor LEDs blink device address during Walk Test.

•Fully digital, high-precision protocol (U.S. Patent 5,539,389).

•Manual sensitivity adjustment — nine levels.

•Pre-alarm AWACS — nine levels.

•Day/Night automatic sensitivity adjustment.

•Sensitivity windows:

–Ion – 0.5 to 2.5%/foot obscuration.

–Photo – 0.5 to 2.35%/foot obscuration.

–Laser (VIEW®) – 0.02 to 2.0%/foot obscuration.

–Acclimate – 0.5 to 4.0%/foot obscuration.

–HARSH™ – 0.5 to 2.35%/foot obscuration.

•Drift compensation (U.S. Patent 5,764,142).

•Degraded mode — in the unlikely event that the JCPU-640 microprocessor fails, FlashScan® detectors revert to degraded operation and can activate the JCPU-640 NAC cir- cuits and alarm relay. Each of the four built-in panel circuits includes a Disable/Enable switch for this feature.
