VInstallation and Operation Manual
Control Panel Limitations
The FW106/FW106C control panel may not show an alarm condition without compatible initiating devices
(smoke detectors, etc.) and notification devices (horn, lights, etc.) connected to it. Electrical ratings of the
initiation and notification appliances must be compatible with the electrical ratings of the control panel
and must be properly interconnected. The wiring used for interconnection must be large enough to carry
the total current for all appliances without excessive voltage drop. Please refer to Appendix‐B: Wire
Selection Guide for detail.
The control panel must be connected to a dedicated primary electrical source that has a high degree of
reliability and adequate capacity for this control panel. The means of disconnecting this power source shall be
available only to authorized personnel and clearly marked "Fire Alarm Circuit Control".
A battery set (24V) that has enough capacity to properly operate the system for 24 hours standby and
30 minutes alarm per UL864 10th Edition (section 69.2.3 and 69.2.5) / ULC‐S527 3rd Edition (section 10.5) or as
otherwise required by local codes and the AHJ must also be connected to the control panel. These batteries do
lose capacity with age. Batteries must be replaced when they fail to provide the control panel with the required
standby and alarm power or after 4 years, whichever happens first. These batteries must be checked for
performance at least twice a year or more often, if local requirements dictate.
Even though this control panel was made to last for the expected life of the fire alarm system, parts can fail at
any time. Therefore, a regular test program should be followed and documented to make sure each part of the
system is tested, as indicated in Chapter 7 of NFPA 72, and CAN/ULC‐S536, or more often if dictated by local
code requirements. Malfunctioning units must be replaced or repaired immediately by factory authorized
service personnel.
This control panel is designed to show an alarm condition when the initiating devices connected to it
detects specific conditions. These conditions may or may not represent a life‐threatening condition.
Unneeded evacuation of a building or an area may subject individuals to an unnecessary hazard.
Therefore, it is important that the building owner, manager, or representative promulgate, distribute,
and/or post instructions describing steps to be taken when the fire alarm control panel signals an
alarm condition. These instructions should be developed in co‐operation with representatives of the
local authority having jurisdiction and in accordance with the applicable standards.

9 LED indicators making it the most intuitive fire‐alarm user interface.
3Installation and Operation Manual
The FW106/FW106C can also connect with up to 110 panels and/or remote annunciators via a CAN bus to form
a fire emergency detection and notification network system.
Networked panels and/or annunciators can share the following events and manual controls:
Event (signal) type: ALARM, SUPERVISORY, TROUBLE, MONITOR, OUTPUT
Manual Control type: Signal Silence, Buzzer Silence, Reset, Acknowledge
Event/control sharing can be configured in three modes – Peer to Peer, Group, and Master/Slave.
Peer‐to‐Peer
All panels/annunciators are intended to function as a single system and share events/controls of each
other.
Group
Panels/annunciators can be assigned into multiple groups. There are two options of event/control
sharing:
o “Events & Operation” – Events and controls are only shared within individual group; Events and
Controls are NOT shared across the groups.
o “Operation Only” – Events are shared across the network. Controls are shared within individual
group. Each panel/annunciator can silence troubles locally outside of the group.
Master/Slave
o Only one panel (address #1) can be the Master panel. The Master panel can receive events from all
networked panels, as well as have controls over all panels.
o All the other panels are Slave panels. A slave panel can only view events from its own inputs, and
control its own outputs.
o All annunciators act like the Master panel.
