The XLS1000 Fire Alarm System is modularly designed for
easy customization to fit stand-alone, single-node systems as
well as multi-node networks. To simplify system layouts,
XLS1000 Systems also integrate audio functions using the
same fundamental components as the fire alarm functions. To

The housing can be mounted flush (set back within a wall),
semi-flush (partially set into a wall), or on a wall surface. The
Chassis and Local Rail Modules provide a base for the
installation of one or modules (Control Display Modules) such
as a Main Display Interface module and a system of generic
modules that maximize design flexibility for custom systems.
The Inner Door Cover and Outer Door Cover protect the
components and provide an attractive finish to the system.

System Components:
The XLS1000 is housed in a wall box that can contain a
variety of system components arranged as shown in the
following diagram.

Main Display Interface Module:
The Main Display Interface module provides simple-to-
understand lights (LEDs) and switches to help emergency
operators execute system commands with confidence.
Common control switches and LEDs include (at minimum) a
Reset switch and LED; Alarm Silence switch and LED; Panel
Silence switch and LED; and Drill switch and LED. Eight lines
of 21 characters (168 characters total) display emergency
information in a useful text format. The following figure
illustrates the layout of the module.

Optional Main Display Interface Module and Display Module Panel.

The eight-line text display area shows current date, current
time, and number of alarms on the first line. The next lines
show the first highest priority event, the last highest priority
event, and other information as applicable, so that operators
can view alarm data without opening the door of the
XLS1000. Note that a Main Display Interface module is not
required in remote nodes with no user interface requirements.
The Main Display Interface also provides a Command Menu
for maintenance functions such as disabling alarms or
generating reports for use by staff or service personnel.
XLS1000 supports both single-node and multiple-node single
network systems. As a stand-alone panel (or single node), up
to four power supplies provide 28A of power with space
available for 5 to 21 local rail modules. A single panel
supports up to five Loop Controllers (250 devices per loop,
1250 points total per node). With only conventional circuits,
panel capacity is up to 15 local rail modules which support
120 conventional zones. Up to half of the conventional circuits
can be Notification Appliance Circuits. A Main Display
Interface module and 19 Control Display module
configurations are available.

Display Modules: Networks:

Generic control/display modules provide membrane switches
with positive tactile feedback and colored LEDs to give the
emergency user the simplest of interfaces. To maximize
system layout flexibility, Control/Display module locations are
independent of the underlying connection hardware to the
local rail module. The LCD area displays custom event
messages of up to 42 characters.
Panel Capacities:
XLS1000 facilitates isolation of field wiring with building wiring
terminations made to removable terminal blocks on the local
rail modules. XLS1000 local rail modules include zone
amplifiers, Loop Controllers, conventional hardwired modules,
and the main CPU module. System design allows convenient
separation of high voltage from power-limited wiring.
XLS1000 operates on a multi-priority peer-to-peer token ring
network. The multi-priority token ring gives XLS1000 an
exceptional alarm response time of less than 3 seconds
across the network, virtually independent of the total number
of nodes. XLS1000 token ring network configuration also
affords long distances between nodes. The distance between
panels on 14 AWG (2.087 sq. mm) wire is 5000 ft (1524 m).
With 64 nodes supported on a network, total network length
is in excess of 300,000 ft (91,440 m).
Network communication is via RS-485 serial ports. This two-
wire circuit supports Class A or B. The XLS1000 network
meets NFPA style 7 communications standards in Class A
configuration.

3 74-20732
XLS1000 FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
The XLS1000 uses distributed database technology designed
to survive the rigors of fire and fire fighting. In a Class B
configuration, a single break or short on the network wiring
isolates the system into two groups of panels, each with one
or more nodes. Each group of panels re-configures into a
peer-to-peer subnetwork, working with their combined
databases. In Class A, a single break or short on the network
wiring causes the system to isolate the fault. Network
communication continues uninterrupted. If multiple faults
occur, the network re-configures into multiple networks and
functions as described for Class B. The system continues to
respond to operations at every node able to receive network
messages with those nodes always executing the local
response.
Audio Functionality:
XLS1000 integrates audio components in its standard fire
alarm cabinet assemblies. XLS1000 uses intelligent zone
amplifiers to reduce wire runs and space needs at a central
location. Audio control equipment and zone amplifiers use the
same system power supplies as the fire alarm components.
All these components use a common standby battery. For
multiple-node systems, , a single pair of wires carries eight
channels of digital audio data between nodes. The system
can deliver up to eight messages and/or signals
simultaneously, so signaling messages to occupants are
never interrupted. This feature eliminates confusion if the
emergency user requires an audio channel with zone-specific
messages.
The XLS1000 provides simple paging controls. ALL CALL
operation selects all paging zones for message delivery. Page
to EVACUATION operation automatically selects all areas in
evacuation. Similarly, the user can Page to ALERT. Zoned
paging requires the user to simply select a zone paging
switch. After the user completes a page delivery, signaling
automatically restores after the user releases the microphone
talk key.
74-20732
Audio system amplifiers can operate 25 Vrms or 70.4 Vrms
speakers. The system provides simultaneous page, alert, and
evacuation signaling. The system provides the following
paging common controls and indicators (at a minimum):
Ready to page LED
VU display of paging output level
Single switch function for paging to all - Alert zones,
Evacuation zones, or areas not programmed for signaling.
Alarm Annunciation:
XLS1000 provides Alarm, Supervisory, Trouble, and Monitor
operations. Annunciation is through the use of LED display
strips complete with custom labels for each LED as to its
function. Where applicable, control of remote smoke control
devices is available at the control center. Switches with LEDs
provide positive feed back to the operator of remote
equipment status. See the Optional Main Display Interface
Module and Display Module Panel figure for an example.
Support for a Wide Variety of Fire Alarm Equipment:
XLS1000 supports a variety of conventional smoke detectors
with a single universal module. It also supports polarized
bells, horns, and strobes, as well as hardwired supervisory
and monitor functions with latching or non-latching operations.
Any circuit located anywhere on the network can display on
any LCD or LED annunciator.
Battery Options:
Available cabinet room allows for system batteries up to 17
Ah. One 24V backup battery supports up to four power
supplies. The power supplies are arranged in parallel to
ensure optimization of the full capacity each power supply.
Each supply provides up to 7A of current, therefore, with four
supplies, 28A of current is available, all backed up by one
battery. A single panel or node supports batteries up to 65 Ah
to give XLS1000 initial system cost savings, as well as
continuing cost saving benefits in system maintenance.
