Power Supply Rules

1. Each battery set needs one charger, either a 3-PPS/M or a 3-BBC/M.
2. Each power supply must be connected to a battery set using an identical length and gauge of wire to keep voltage drops identical.
3. Distribute power supplies and loads evenly across rails.
4. All battery sets for a panel must be the same capacity (AH), same manufacturer, and same manufacturing date code.
The Table below illustrates the combinations of power supplies and batteries that meet all the power supply rules.

be through the use of LED display strips complete with a means to
custom label each LED as to its function. Where applicable control

dio is required a means of paging individual zones must be made.
The status of each paging zone must be annunciated. It must be
possible to selectively page into specific zones. It shall be possible
to manipulate the evacuation of the building from the main control
center. It must be possible for the emergency operator to put
specific zones into evacuation manually.

Installation and Mounting Engineering Specification

The Life Safety system shall incorporate annunciation of Alarm,
Supervisory, Trouble and Monitor operations. Annunciation must
be through the use of LED display strips complete with a means to
custom label each LED as to its function. Where applicable control
of remote smoke control devices must be made available at the
control center. Switches with LEDs must provide positive feed
back to the operator of remote equipment status. Where voice au-
dio is required a means of paging individual zones must be made.
The status of each paging zone must be annunciated. It must be
possible to selectively page into specific zones. It shall be possible
to manipulate the evacuation of the building from the main control
center. It must be possible for the emergency operator to put
specific zones into evacuation manually.

Notes:
1. The density of individual graphic LED and switch layouts may change the quantities shown. LED spacing should be ½” apart on center and not less then 3/16”. All
switches, text and symbols should be kept ½” away from viewing area border. In-graphic toggle switches (options 3, 4, & 5) require 1¼” centers.
2. The EVCBA72/FSCBA72B provide mounting space equivalent to two EV3 or two FSCS-3 units mounted in a single cabinet.

programmed for trouble or AC Fail. There are seven on-board

diagnostic LEDs: one for each NAC fault, one for battery fault, one Front View

When outputs are configured for auxiliary operation, these circuits for 3/4 in conduit
can be configured to stay on or automatically deactivate 30 sec- (1.9 cm)

for door holder applications. The BPS also has a separate 200

BPS NACs can be configured for a 3-3-3 temporal or continuous

signaling rates that are not available from the main system.
In addition to the internally generated signal rates, the BPS can
also be configured to follow the coded signal rate of the main Wire routing

All decisions are made at the module to allow lower com-

The SIGA-MCC1S is part of the UIO family of plug-in Signature
Series modules. It functions identically to the SIGA-CC1S, but
takes advantage of the modular flexibility and easy installation that
characterize all UIO modules. Two- and six-module UIO mother-
boards are available. These can accommodate individual risers for
each on-board module, or risers that are shared by any combina-
tion of its UIO modules. All wiring connections are made to termi-
nal blocks on the motherboard. UIO assemblies may be mounted
in Edwards enclosures.

Like all Signature detectors, the SIGA-SD features electronic

The SIGA-SD also uses differential sensing to prevent gradual
environmental changes from triggering unwanted alarms. A rapid
change in environmental conditions, such as smoke from a fire,
causes the detector to signal an alarm state, but dust and debris
accumulated over time does not change alarm sensitivity.
Each Signature Series SuperDuct detector contains a microproc-
essor that performs comprehensive self-diagnostics and stores
the results in nonvolatile memory. Stored results include details 2.28 in

safeguards with your local fire protection specialist.

To test (or reset) the station simply open the station and operate
the exposed switch. The SIGA-270 series are opened with a tool;
the SIGA-278 requires the key which is supplied with that station.
The station’s automatic self-diagnosis identifies when it is defec-
tive and causes a trouble message. The user-friendly maintenance Figure 4. Single Stage Systems
program shows the current state of each Signature series device
and other pertinent messages. Single devices may be deactivated
temporarily, from the control panel. Availability of maintenance
features is dependent on the fire alarm system used.
Scheduled maintenance (Regular or Selected) for proper system
operation should be planned to meet the requirements of the

Figure 5. Two Stage Systems

Installation
Single-stage Signature Series fire alarm manual pull stations mount to North American 2½ inch (64 mm) deep 1-gang boxes.
Two stage presignal (270P) models require 1½ inch (38 mm) deep 4-inch square boxes with 1-gang, ½-inch raised covers. Openings
must be angular. Rounded openings are not acceptable. Recommended box: Steel City Model 52-C-13; in Canada, use Iberville Model CI-
52-C-49-1/2.
All models include terminals are suited for #12 to #18 AWG (2.5 mm2 to 0.75 mm2) wire size. Edwards recommends that these fire alarm
stations be installed according to latest recognized edition of national and local fire alarm codes.
Electronic Addressing: The loop controller electronically addresses each manual station, saving valuable time during system com-
missioning. Setting complicated switches or dials is not required. Each station has its own unique serial number stored in its on-board
memory. The loop controller identifies each device on the loop and assigns a “soft” address to each serial number. If desired, the stations
can be addressed using the SIGA-PRO Signature Program/Service Tool.

modules, network and non-network control panels, and user-friendly maintenance and

gathered and converted into digital signals. An onboard microprocessor in each Signature

Most Signature modules use a personality code selected by the installer to determine their
actual function. Personality codes are downloaded from the SDC during system configu-
ration and are indicated during device mapping.
Standalone Operation – A decentralized alarm decision by the device is guaranteed.
Onboard intelligence permits the device to operate in standalone (degrade) mode. If Sig-
nature loop controller CPU communications fail for more than four seconds, all devices on
that circuit go into standalone mode. The circuit acts like a conventional alarm receiving
circuit. Each Signature device on the circuit continues to collect and analyze information
from its slave devices. When connected to a panel utilizing standalone operation, modules

Strobe Application Wiring
Genesis strobes are UL 1971 or 1638 listed for indoor use. Prevailing Field wiring terminals accommodate #18 to #12 AWG (0.75 mm²
codes require strobes to be used where ambient noise conditions to 2.5 mm²) wiring.

and in areas of public accommodation. Consult with your Authority
Having Jurisdiction for details.
All Genesis strobes exceed UL synchronization requirements
(within 10 milliseconds over a two-hour period) when used with a
synchronization source. Synchronization for multiple strobe lights
in a single field of view is required.
Speaker Application
The suggested sound pressure level for each signaling zone used
with alert or alarm signals is a minimum of 15 dB above the aver-
age ambient sound level or 5 dB above the maximum sound level
having a duration of at least 60 seconds, whichever is greater. This
is measured 5 feet (1.5 m) above the floor.
Doubling the distance from the signal to the ear will theoretically
cause a 6 dB reduction in the received sound pressure level. The
actual effect depends on the acoustic properties of materials in All models are intended for
the space. Doubling the power output of a device (e.g.: a speaker indoor ceiling or wall applica-

easy installation.
WG4 Series appliances feature highly intelligible and efficient
mylar-cone loudspeakers. These are dual-voltage (25.2V or
70.7V), and have field-selectable output taps ranging from 80.8
dBA to 90.0 dBA. The multi-candela strobes are available with
clear or amber lenses and in two output categories – standard and
high-output. They are precision-timed to meet UL 1971 synchro-
nization standards, and field-configurable for one of four candela
intensities. Wattage and candela settings are viewable even after
installation through an innovative sealed viewport display.

ECS/MNS Applications
Genesis ECS/MNS strobe appliances bring the same high-
performance fire alarm features and unobtrusive design to mass
notification applications. Available with amber lenses and optional Wiring
