Gamewell IF602 Addressable Fire Alarm Panel

Description
Gamewell IF602 fire alarm control panel
The Gamewell IdentiFlex 602 (IF602SS) addressable fire alarm panel with Velociti® is ideally suited for small- to medium-sized installations at commercial, institutional, and industrial life-safety projects.

The IF602SS addressable fire alarm panel has all the features of today’s most advanced life safety fire alrm systems. The integration of analog and addressable hardwired circuits allows system engineers to customize panels and maximize efficiency for any application.

The IF602SS (System Sensor Protocol) can monitor and control up to 396 intelligent analog addressable input/output points such as fire alarm pull stations , photoelectric smoke detectors, ionization smoke detectors, beam detectors, etc. The IF602 (Apollo Protocol) can handle up to 252 addressable points.  Both addressable fire alarm panels can be networked for future expansion.  The interactive operator’s display uses LED prompting for ease of programming and user operation. The alphanumeric display and fire alarm keypad simplify the field programming, or the download programming from a Windows®-based application.

Progamming Gamewell panel via laptop computerThe IF602 addressable fire alarm panel housing was designed to be both aesthetically pleasing and functionally sound. The cabinet is designed to fit between studs for semi-flush mounting. This compact design and the key-activated dead-front construction enables secure routine maintenance of the fire alarm system. Access to system function keys is limited by a key switch. Multiple levels of password protection prohibit unauthorized use.  The circuit boards are mounted on a removable chassis, and are designed with pluggable terminal strips for ease of installation and service.

Operator’s Display
The IF602SS addressable fire alarm panel operator’s display controls all user access to the system. The display provides all of the necessary keys and annunciation points to maintain and monitor the system. Fire Alarm, supervisory, and trouble conditions are all indicated on the operator’s display by dedicated LEDs and an internal sounder. The Acknowledge, Reset, and Signal Silence keys are located directly below the 4 x 40-character backlit alphanumeric display. All system functions and operational logic can be programmed from the front panel in the field. The IF602SS display has four user-programmable function keys.

Analog Addressable Signaling Line Circuits
The IF602SS fire alarm system analog interface module provides Signaling Line Circuits (SLC), loop circuits that can monitor and control up to 198 analog/addressable devices on each power limited loop, for a total of 396 analog points in a dual-loop system. Loop wiring is polarity sensitive.

Each SLC loop has a dedicated microprocessor that simultaneously communicates with connected field devices and the main CPU.

The IF602SS uses Velociti® fully digital communications protocol to improve the speed and accuracy of event reporting. The communications protocol provides for alarm verification per detector, detector adjustability and compensation, adjustable analog heat detector range circuit isolation, and priority interrupts. Priority interrupts allow contact type devices such as manual fire alarm stations to interrupt the polling cycle and transmit their addresses at any time during a polling sequence.

The fully digital protocol allows the IF602SS to operate on most types of field wiring, greatly expanding its use in retrofit applications. Consult the Supplemental SLC Manual or a Gamewell-FCI authorized distributer.

IF602SS Power Supply
The IF602SS fire alarm power supply is a fully regulated 8 amp. Supply that furnishes system operating and signaling power. It is equipped with a battery charger which maintains the secondary power source. The fire alarm power supply is monitored by the main CPU, ensuring that adequate power levels are available. The power supply design allows for high efficiency while providing precise power output. The battery charger maintains batteries up to 26 AH. The supply powers four on-board Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs) (two Class A) with the multiple built-in synchronization protocols for System Sensor, Cooper-Wheelock and others.

Input (I) / Output (O) Devices
Addressable fire alarm control output devices are the interface between analog circuits and building functions. The outputs are controlled with Control By Event (CBE) software within the IF602SS, and can be programmed to respond to any event. The control devices can be used as supervised remote signaling circuits.

The IF602SS, with Gamewell-FCI’s complete line of 600 Series devices, provides a foundation for system design. The IF602SS’s RS-232 output expands system monitoring and control capabilities.

Remote Display and Control
Fire alarm annunciator drivers are available in 16-point increments and are an ideal interface to graphic annunciators.  The serial annunciators display system activity and control.  Switches can be used for Acknowledge, Reset, Signal Silence, Drill, etc., to customize the remote status control network.

An alphanumeric display can also be used for remote status and control. The alphanumeric display is designed to communicate over the serial communications network.  The IF602SS fire alarm panel can communicate locally or remotely with a printer to document system activity.
