Intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panels
The NFS-320 intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel is part of the
ONYX Series of Fire Alarm Controls from NOTIFIER.
In stand-alone or network configurations, ONYX Series products
meet virtually every application requirement.
Designed with modularity and ease of system planning, the
NFS-320 can be configured with just a few devices for small
building applications, or for a large campus or high-rise application.
Simply add additional peripheral equipment to suit the
application. For installations using NFS-320C, an optional ACM
Series annunciator can be mounted in the same cabinet (up to
48 zones/points, order seperately).
The FireWatch Series internet monitoring modules IPDACT-2
and IPDACT-2UD permit monitoring of alarm signals over the
Internet, saving the monthly cost of two dedicated business telephone
lines. Although not required, the secondary telephone
line may be retained providing backup communication over the
public switched telephone line.
Unless called out with a version-specific R , C or E at
the end of the part number, NFS-320 refers to models NFS-320,
NFS-320R, NFS-320C, and NFS-320E; similarly, CPU-320 refers
to the main circuit board for CPU-320, CPU-320C, and CPU-320E.

World-Leading Detector Protocol
At the heart of the NFS-320 is a set of detection devices and
device protocol FlashScan (U.S. Patent 5,539,389). Flash-
Scan is an all-digital protocol that gives superior precision and
In addition to providing quick identification of an active input
device, this new protocol can also activate many output devices
in a fraction of the time required by competitive protocols. This
high speed also allows the NFS-320 to have the largest device
per loop capacity in the industry 318 points yet every input
and output device is sampled in less than two seconds. The
DN-7112:D3 1/25/2010 Page 3 of 6
microprocessor-based FlashScan detectors have bicolor LEDs
that can be coded to provide diagnostic information, such as
device address during Walk Test.
Intelligent sensing is a set of software algorithms that provides
the NFS-320 with industry-leading smoke detection capability.
These complex algorithms require many calculations on each
reading of each detector, and are made possible by the highspeed
microcomputer used by the NFS-320.
Drift Compensation and Smoothing:
allows the detector to retain its original ability to detect actual
smoke, and resist false alarms, even as dirt accumulates. It
reduces maintenance requirements by allowing the system to
automatically perform the periodic sensitivity measurements
required by NFPA 72. Smoothing filters are also provided by
software to remove transient noise signals, such as those
caused by electrical interference.
When the drift compensation performed
for a detector reaches a certain level, the performance of
the detector may be compromised, and special warnings are
given. There are three warning levels: (1) Low Chamber value;
(2) Maintenance Alert, indicative of dust accumulation that is
near but below the allowed limit; (3) Maintenance Urgent, indicative
of dust accumulation above the allowed limit.
Nine sensitivity levels are provided for
alarm detection. These levels can be set manually, or can
change automatically between day and night. Nine levels of prealarm
sensitivity can also be selected, based on predetermined
levels of alarm. Pre-alarm operation can be latching or selfrestoring,
and can be used to activate special control functions.
Each detector may be set for Self-
Optimizing pre-alarm. In this special mode, the detector
learns its normal environment, measuring the peak analog
readings over a long period of time, and setting the pre-alarm
level just above these normal peaks.
Cooperating Multi-Detector Sensing:
ONYX intelligent sensing is the ability of a smoke sensor to consider
readings from nearby sensors in making alarm or prealarm
decisions. Without statistical sacrifice in the ability to
resist false alarms, it allows a sensor to increase its sensitivity to
actual smoke by a factor of almost two to one.
This timesaving feature is a special software
routine. The FACP learns what devices are physically connected
and automatically loads them in the program with default
values for all parameters. Requiring less than one minute to run,
this routine allows the user to have almost immediate fire protection
in a new installation, even if only a portion of the detectors

creation and editing capability from the front panel keypad,

of the NFS-320 software is such that each point entry carries its
own program, including control-by-event links to other points.
This allows the program to be entered with independent perpoint
segments, while the NFS-320 simultaneously monitors
other (already installed) points for alarm conditions.
is an offline programming and test utility that can
greatly reduce installation programming time, and increase confidence
in the site-specific software. It is Windows -based and
provides technologically advanced capabilities to aid the
installer. The installer may create the entire program for the
NFS-320 in the comfort of the office, test it, store a backup file,
then bring it to the site and download from a laptop into the

When designing the cabinet layout, consider separation
of power-limited and non-power-limited wiring as discussed in
the NFS-320 Installation Manual.
It is critical that all mounting holes of the NFS-320 are secured
with a screw or standoff to ensure continuity of Earth Ground.
If networking two or more control panels, each
unit requires a Network Control Module or High-Speed Network
Control Module (see Network Options on page 4).
These modules can be installed in any option board position
