Do not attempt to install, service, or operate this unit until the manuals are read and understood.

CAUTION – System Re-acceptance Test after Software Changes: To ensure proper system operation, this product must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 after any programming operation or change in site-specific software. Reacceptance testing is required after any change, addition or deletion of system components, or after any modification, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring. All components, circuits, system operations, or software functions known to be affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addition, to ensure that other operations are not inadvertently affected, at least 10% of the initiating devices that are not directly affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must also be tested and proper system operation verified.

This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0-49º C/32-120º F and at a relative humidity 93% ± 2% RH (noncondensing) at 32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 3°F). However, the useful life of the system’s standby batteries and the electronic components may be adversely affected by extreme temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that this system and its peripherals be installed in an environment with a normal room temperature of 15-27º C/60-80º F. Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indicating device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% I.R. drop from the specified device voltage.

Product Description

The Fire Lite Emergency Command Center ECC-50/100 is a single-channel, 50-watt, 25 VRMS emergency voice evacuation panel that may be used for fire applications, mass notification applications, or both. The ECC-50/100 comes standard with one speaker circuit. The panel provides the ability to record fourteen field programmable messages (up to 60 seconds each) with an integral microphone or from an external audio source. An integral power supply with a battery charger supplies operational power. A 50-watt audio amplifier is built into each panel. An optional second 50-watt amplifier (ECC-50W-25/70V) is also available for backup purposes or to provide an additional 50 watts. The backup amplifier is available in either 25 volts or 70 volts, depending on which application is necessary. Automatic activation of the ECC-50/100 by an FACP is possible via eight Command Input Circuits (CMD) or via the ACS/ANN Bus serial communications link from the MS-600 (UD)LS and MS-9200UDLS FACPs. Two Command Input Circuits can be independently field programmed for activation by an FACP Notification Appliance Circuit, reverse polarity or by closure of a supervised normally open contact, and six Command Input Circuits activate on contact closure. CMD 1 and CMD 2 provide terminals for NAC input and output to allow installation of the audio panel anywhere along the NAC circuit being used to activate it. If the message generator fails, the system automatically reverts to a backup tone generator. Power is fed independently to each amplifier so that a short circuit in one amplifier will not shut down the other. Full output power of 50 watts per amplifier is generated while in a low battery condition. Power is not diminished when the optional 70 VRMS transformer module is installed. Audio is amplified utilizing modern integrated circuits as opposed to transformer technology. This provides for very low signal distortion for crystal clear audio. Primary applications for the audio panels include protecting structures such as military facilities, restaurants, schools, auditoriums, places of worship, buildings with occupancies over 50, etc. The ECC-50/100 is designed to interface directly to addressable or conventional (CMD inputs 1-8) fire alarm control panels or can be used with the ECC-50/125DA panel to distribute audio in systems that require more than 100 watts.

General Options

• Unit Operation Select whether the ECC will function for Fire Evacuation, Mass Notification, or a Combination of both.
• Event Priority When Combo or Mass Notification is selected for Unit Operation, select whether Mass Notification events or Fire Evacuation events will take priority in the system. If Mass Notification is selected as the Unit Operation with the Event Priority set to Fire Evacuation, the ECC will be a mass notification only system but will allow the FACP to override it if a fire alarm sounds. If Mass Notification is selected as the Unit Operation with the Event Priority also set to Mass Notification, the ECC will not have any fire evacuation capabilities and will report mass notification events to the FACP. In this configuration, FACP outputs can be turned off for mass notification events if desired.
• FACP Data Bus Control. If an FACP will directly communicate with the ECC, select which communication protocol will be used, ACS-Bus or ANN-Bus.
• FACP Data Bus Address. This field has no effect on programming and is used for informational purposes only. When using the FACP ACS-bus protocol, address 01 must be enabled in the FACP programming. When using the ANN-Bus protocol, the FACP will automatically detect the audio system connection during annunciator auto-configuration. No ANN-Bus address selection is necessary at the FACP. Enter the ECC’s address (1-8) here. If FACP control of the ECC is not selected, enter 0.
• 24-Hour Resound As enabled (default), the 24-Hour Resound feature causes the piezo on the ECC to sound a reminder ‘beep’ for alarms and troubles after the panel has been silenced.
• Canadian Configuration: Selecting enable will configure the panel to comply with Canadian requirements. See Appendix C for more information.
• Class A / Style Z Select enable if all circuits on the ECC will operate in Class A (Style Z) or disabled if all circuits will operate in Class B (Style Y).
• Canadian Isolator Modules. If audio isolator modules are required in the system, select enabled. Refer to “Audio Room Isolator Modules” on page 103 for more information.
• AC Loss Delay. The reporting of a loss of AC power using the AC Loss relay output can be delayed by programming the length of the desired delay. The factory default setting is 2 hours.
