Fire-Lite SLC Intelligent Control Panel Wiring Manual - Manual (Page 10)

10 FireLite SLC Wiring Manual — P/N 51309:P1 10/12/2011
Introduction Overview
Table 1.1 Reference Documentation
1.2 Overview
Communication between the control panel and intelligent addressable monitor and control devices
takes place through a Signaling Line Circuit (SLC), which can be wired to meet the requirements of
NFPA Style 4, Style 6, or Style 7.
At least one secondary surge protector must be used with each SLC wiring pair whenever SLC
wiring runs outside the building. For detailed information refer to “Surge Suppression” on page 64.
1.3 Polling Protocols
The MS-9200UDLS, MS-9600LS, and MS-9600UDLS support LiteSpeed protocol or Classic
Loop Interface Protocol (CLIP). The MS-9200/E, MS-9600/E, MS-9200UD/E, and MS-9050UD
support Classic Loop Interface Protocol (CLIP) only.
1.3.1 Available Protocols
LiteSpeed is a communication protocol that greatly enhances the speed of communication between
analog intelligent devices. Only the MS-9200UDLS, MS-9600LS, and MS-9600UDLS are capable
of operating in LiteSpeed mode. This is the default mode of operation for these FACPs.
CLIP (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) polls devices in sequential order. All Fire-LiteFireWarden
addressable fire alarm control panels can operate in CLIP mode. This is the default mode of
operation for all other FACPs.
1.3.2 Protocol Use
Use one of the following options with LiteSpeed/CLIP mode:
1. Program all modules and detectors on an FACP as LiteSpeed.
2. Program all modules and detectors on an FACP as CLIP.
When switching between polling protocols, the loop circuit must be powered down for at least 30
seconds to reset the devices.

NOTE: FACPs with more than one SLC loop must be programmed for only LiteSpeed or CLIP
mode of operation. Communication protocols cannot be split between SLC loops.
