Introduction
About this Manual
This installation and operation manual provides information on installing and operating the FA-200 Microprocessor-
Based Fire Alarm Control Panel.
About the FA-200
Mircom's FA-200 Fire Alarm Control Panels provide 1, 2, 4, or 8 supervised Class B (ULI Style B) Initiating Circuits,
or 1, 2, 4 supervised Class A (ULI Style D) Initiating Circuits, and 2 or 4 supervised Class A or B (ULI Style Z or Y)
Indicating Circuits. All Circuits are supervised for opens and ground faults, and Indicating Circuits for shorts.
Optional Modules include a DM-204 Zone Adder (required for full capacity in the FA-204E only), a DACT-100A
Dialler or a PR-100 Polarity Reversal & City Tie Module, and RM-204 or RM-208 Relay Modules. The two
enclosures are flush or surface mountable, and can be used for retrofits and on new installations.
Overall Features:
• The small enclosure versions, FA-201, FA-202, & FA-204, have 1, 2, 4 Class B (Style B) initiating circuits
respectively. The FA-202 & FA-204 may be configured as 1 or 2 Class A (Style D) Circuits respectively. These
also have 2 Power Limited Class A/B (Style Z/Y) indicating circuits with individual trouble indicators.
• The large enclosure version, FA-204E, has four Class B (Style B) initiating circuits which may be configured as
two Class A (Style D) circuits respectively. It also has two power limited Class A/B (Style Z/Y) indicating circuits
with individual trouble indicators. With a DM-204 Zone Adder Module, an extra four Class B (2 Class A)
initiating circuits, and two Class A/B indicating circuits are added.
• Each initiating circuit is configurable as a normal or verified alarm. In addition, on a Class B FA-204 or fa-204e,
Initiating Circuit three may be a Waterflow Zone (as may Initiating Circuit 7 if a DM-204 is installed), and
initiating circuit four may be a latched or non-latched supervisory zone (as may initiating circuit eight if a DM-
204 is installed). On a Class A FA-204E with a DM-204, initiating circuit three may be a waterflow zone and
initiating circuit four may be a latched or non-latched supervisory zone.
• Indicating circuits can be configured as audible or visual and as silenceable or non-silenceable. Audibles may
be steady, temporal code, california code, or march time.
• Initiating circuits may be individually disconnected by a slide-switch.
• Configurable signal silence inhibit (disabled or 1 minute), auto signal silence (disabled or 5, 10, 20 minutes),
and one-man walk test.
• Subsequent alarm, supervisory, and trouble operation.
• Four-wire resettable smoke power supply (200 mA max.).
• Auxiliary relay contacts for common alarm and common supervisory (disconnectable), and a common trouble
relay. If no Supervisory zones are configured then the common supervisory relay can be used as an extra
common alarm relay.
• Interface for an RTI Remote Trouble Indicator.
• RS-485 Interface for 1 to 3 of RAM-208 Remote Multiplex Annunciators on FA-204 & FA-204E.
• The FA-201, FA-202, FA-204 may use one of optional DACT-100A (Dialler), PR-100 (City Tie), RM-204 or RM-
208 Relay Modules.
• The FA-204E may use one of optional DACT-100A (Dialler), PR-100 (City Tie), and one of
RM-204 or RM-208 Relay Modules.
• Slide Switch controls and LED Common indicators.
• Easy configuration via DIP switches.
• Extensive transient protection.
