Installation Precautions
WARNING: Several different sources of power can be connected to the fire alarm control panel. FBAP™onnect all sources of power before servicing. The control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by
removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to
install, service, or operate the unit until this manual has been reviewed and understood.
This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0° C to 49° C (32° F to 120° F) and at a relative humidity
(non-condensing) of 85% at 30° C (86° F) per NFPA, and 93% ± 2% at 32° C ± 2° C (89.6° F ± 1.1° F) per UL.
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 all peripherals be
installed in an environment with a nominal room temperature of 15-27° C (60-80° F).
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indicating device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate
more than a 10% voltage drop from the specified voltage.
Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may operate erratically or can be damaged when subjected to
lightning-induced transients. Although no system is completely immune from lightning transients and interferences,
proper grounding will reduce susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Technical Services
Department if any problems are anticipated or encountered.
Page 8
Mesh-IP-FireGuard – 08-MAN001-A14
FB-AP™onnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or inserting circuit boards. Failure to do so can
damage circuits.
Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling, filling, reaming, or punching of the enclosure. When
possible, make all cable entries from the sides or rear of the enclosure. Before making modifications, verify that the
modifications will not interfere with the battery, transformer, and printed circuit board locations.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced
terminal contact pressure and difficulty with terminal screw removal.
Though designed to last many years, system components can fail at any time. This system contains staticsensitive components. Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling any circuits so that static
charges are removed from the body. Use static-suppressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies removed
from the unit.
Follow the instructions in the installation and operating manuals. These instructions must be followed to avoid
damage to the control panel and associated equipment. VP Series operation and reliability depend upon proper
installation by authorized personnel.

Installation
Carefully unpack the system and check for shipping damage. If damage is found, contact your distributor to assess
any impact as necessary. Select a location for each cabinet in a vibration-free, clean, dry area where extreme
temperatures do not occur. The area should be easily accessible with sufficient room to install and maintain the
unit and the corresponding power supply. Each cabinet should be located with its top approximately 5 feet above
the floor and the hinge mounting located on the left side. Where applicable, determine the number of conductors
required for the devices to be installed (associated with the cabinets) and then determine the appropriate knockouts
that will be needed.
NOTE: All wiring must be in compliance with national and/or local codes for fire alarm systems and power supplies.
Backbox Mounting
1. Before you start the backbox installation, remove any modules or circuit boards that are attached. Set the
boards aside in a safe, clean place. Avoid static FB-AP™harge which may damage sensitive components on
the boards.
2. Mark and drill holes in the wall for the backbox’s top two keyhole mounting bolts.
3. Install the top two mounting bolts in the wall with the screw heads protruding approximately ¼”.
4. Using the upper keyholes, mount the backbox over the two screw heads.
5. Mark the lower two backbox holes on the wall, then remove the backbox from the wall and drill the lower
mounting holes.
6. Mount the backbox using the remaining bolts and tighten all screws.
7. When the location is dry and free of construction dust, reinstall any removed modules or circuit boards and
continue with the installation.

VVALM Board Layouts
VVALM Revision 1 Hardware
The VVALM Revision 1 module is comprised of two physical boards; one is the processor board which is standard
for all module assemblies and the second board is the VVALM itself, which is dual-sided to allow both mounting
and interfacing to other system components as needed. Depending on its configuration, the VVALM is designed to
provide a single interface to a power-limited circuit of 126 FB-AP™ detectors and devices suitable in a style 4, 6,
or 7 operation. For style 7 operation, isolators (55000-750USA) must be placed between each device on the loop,
unless one is provided in the device. The VVALM can also provide two on-board integral outputs that can be used
as general outputs, NAC circuits or releasing circuits. For information regarding the uP200 processor board, please
see the section Processor Board Layout.
The top of the VVALM Rev 1 board layout is shown in Figure 4.6 below. The connectors, LEDs and other

Power Connector
The Power Connector input is standard 24V DC Non-Resettable System Supply, delivered from a system PSM.
Integral Output Connectors
There are two integral outputs on the VVALM which can be configured to operate as a general output, a notification
circuit or a releasing circuit. When configured as a general output, the output supports activation via general alarm/
trouble, group activation or it may be equation controlled, each of which are controlled via settings when configuring
the module. Each output operates independently and can be configured for any of these functions. When both
outputs are used as notification circuits configured for the same brand of devices, the audible and visual notification
devices will be synchronized across the two circuits.
The combined current draw of the two outputs can be as much as 6 amps. Ensuring adequate capacity is available
for the shared load of all devices is a must. Devices connected to the same power source must fall within the
ratings for that power source. Both integral outputs on the VVALM share the power being supplied to the module.
Note that the integral circuits may be wired independently using Class A or Class B guidelines as shown in the
following diagram, and that each provides a maximum power of 3.0 amps per circuit for powered devices.

Configuration Button
The Configuration Button is used when commissioning (i.e., adding) the VVALM to the network. The pin should only
be depressed when requested to do so by the panel software when adding the VVALM module to the network.
Reset Button
The Reset Button is used to reset the module.
LED Indicators
The onboard red, yellow, and green LED indicators are helpful when observing module behavior, especially when
used for troubleshooting or general diagnostics. During normal operation, the LEDs are used to display the status
of the module as it boots up, as described in the following table:
Color
Description
Red
The module is initializing and obtaining its IP network address.
When the module is commissioned, it has obtained its IP address and is now loading its
configuration prior to normal execution.
When the module has not been commissioned, it has not obtained its IP address and therefore
is in decommissioned mode (but running normally). This indicator will remain yellow until the
Yellow
module is commissioned onto the network.
Green
The module has loaded and successfully initialized, and is running normally on the network.

VVALM Revision 2 Hardware
Similar to the single loop VVALM module previously described, the VVALM2 module can have up to 2 loop circuits
that allow it to control 126 devices suitable in a style 4, 6, or 7 operation. For style 7 operation, isolators (55000750USA) must be placed between each device on the loop, unless one is provided by the device. The VVALM2
also provides up to two on-board integral outputs, which can be used as general outputs, NAC circuits or releasing
circuits.

and visual notification devices will be synchronized across the two circuits.
The combined current draw of the two outputs can be as much as 6 amps. Ensuring adequate capacity is available
for the shared load of all devices is a must. Devices connected to the same power source must fall within the
ratings for that power source. Both integral outputs on the VVALM2 share the power being supplied to the module.
Note that the integral circuits may be wired independently using Class A or Class B guidelines as shown in the
following diagram, and that each provides a maximum power of 3.0 amps per circuit for powered devices.

Configuration Button
The Configuration Button is used when commissioning (i.e., adding) the VVALM to the network. The pin should only
be depressed when requested to do so by the panel software when adding the VVALM module to the network.
Reset Button
The Reset Button is used to reset the module.
LED Indicators
The onboard red, yellow, and green LED indicators are helpful when observing module behavior, especially when
used for troubleshooting or general diagnostics. During normal operation, the LEDs are used to display the status
of the module as it boots up, as described in the following table:
Color
Description
Red
The module is initializing and obtaining its IP network address.
When the module is commissioned, it has obtained its IP address and is now loading its
configuration prior to normal execution.
When the module has not been commissioned, it has not obtained its IP address and
therefore is in decommissioned mode (but running normally). This indicator will blink until the
Yellow
module is commissioned onto the network.
Green
The module has loaded and successfully initialized, and is running normally on the network.
