Introduction
To meet today’s demanding installation requirements, an alarm
installer needs a control panel that provides a wide variety of fire
notification and local burglary alarm circuit configurations. The DMP
XR500 Series, XR2500F, XR100 Series, and XR200 Command Processor™
Panels meet and exceed those needs with a unique blend of industryleading UL listed hardware and software operations. This application
note provides technical information needed to apply one of many flexible
solutions to your installation, whether the application is a stand-alone
fire system, a burglary system, or a cost-effective combination system.
What are the Possibilities?
Typical fire and burglary alarm control panels offer single or multiple
notification outputs directly powered by the panel. This type of design
requires all notification circuits be wired from the most remote points of
the system directly to the panel. Increasing the wire gauge and limiting
the number of notification appliances are typical strategies required to
maintain voltage levels at the end of a circuit.
The UL listed XR500 Series, XR2500F, XR100 Series, and XR200 Panels
provide a single output, or zoned outputs that allow power supplies to
be distributed throughout the facility. Supervised power supplies can be
located anywhere along the panel LX-Bus™ placing the notification circuit
power near the notification appliances where it is needed.
Circuit Power Options
The system can be configured to provide a traditional 12 VDC burglary
output, a 24 VDC fire output, or a combination of both outputs. A
12 VDC, 1.5 Amp output is standard on the XR500 Series, XR2500F, XR100
Series, and XR200 panels and can be used for burglary or fire appliances.
Easily add 12 or 24 VDC power supplies to the system by employing
any of the available notification modules. Expand a panel to support
independently supervised, fully programmable circuits for customized
applications:
• XR500 Series or XR2500F panels support up to 574 circuits
• XR100 Series panels support up to 142 cirucits
• XR200 panel supports up to 242 circuits
This application note illustrates several different system configurations.

APPLICATION NOTE
Conventional Large Fire/Small Burglary
Command Processor Panel
This application provides a 12 VDC, 1.5 Amp burglary output, and a 12 VDC,
5 Amp fire output. This would be useful in a facility where the major
objective is fire notification, but a local burglary alarm is also desired. The
XR500 Series, XR2500F, XR100 Series, and XR200 Panel 12 VDC, 1.5 Amp
output is used to power all burglary alarm appliances and the auxiliary
outputs are used to activate the DMP 866 Fire Notification Module. The 866
module switches the power supply to power the fire notification appliances.
Because DMP supports 12 or 24 VDC configurations the fire notification
appliances can be 12 or 24 VDC to meet local requirements.

Conventional Large Burglary/Small Fire
Command Processor Panel
This application is appropriate for a large burglary system which
requires only a small amount of fire notification, such as central
station water flow. The complete system is a 12 VDC design with
the fire notification appliances powered by the XR500 Series,
XR2500F, XR100 Series, or XR200 Command Processor™ Panel. The
addition of the DMP 866 Fire Notification Module provides the
panel with the circuit supervision required for fire notification.
A separate, auxiliary power supply can also be added to sound
burglary alarm appliances. This power supply is switched by a
second 866 module that is controlled by the panel Burglary Bell
Output programming option.

APPLICATION NOTE
Distributed Power Notification Circuit
When a large number of fire notification and burglary alarm
appliances are required, the DMP LX-Bus™ provides extremely
flexible and expandable system design capabilities. Either 12 or
24 VDC power supplies can be installed at any point on the
panel LX‑Bus to provide burglary or fire, 12 or 24 VDC, zoned or
simultaneous operation.
Each of the five XR500 Series/XR2500F panel LX‑Bus expansion ports
can supervise 100 devices including power supplies for a total of
500. Up to 100 devices including power supplies can be supervised
on the XR100 Series LX-Bus for a total of 100. Each of the two
XR200 LX-Bus expansion ports can supervise up to 100 devices
including power supplies for a total of 200.

The 505-12LX Power Supply includes a power supply and two 867 Notification Circuit Modules, and can be addressed
for independent supervision to indicate auxiliary power supply or notification circuit troubles. All power supplies can
operate from a common output, from separate burglary or fire outputs, or individual assignment by a panel zone.
Installation Notes:
1.The Model 867 LX-Bus Notification Module provides a secondary set of address switches so that supervisory
trouble on the notification circuit or 12 or 24 VDC power supply can be indicated by the panel via the LX-Bus.
2.By selecting different bell addresses on the burglary 867 module and fire 867 module, the panel’s Burglary Bell
Output and Fire Bell Output programming controls the modules independently. See the 867 Installation Guide
(LT-0178).
3.Multiple 867 modules may be set to the same bell address so that all sound at the same time, or independent
addresses so that notification may be zoned for burglary or fire. See the 867 Installation Guide (LT-0178).
4.To add a second LX-Bus to an XR500 Series/XR2500F panel, install a 481 Zone Expansion Card, 462N Network
Interface Card, or 462P Printer Interface Card into the J6 Interface Card Expansion Connector.
To add multiple LX-Buses to an XR500 Series/XR2500F panel, use a Model 461 Interface Adaptor Card and
additional Interface Cards, such as a 481 Zone Expansion Card, 462N Network Interface Card, or 462P Printer
Interface Card.
To add a second LX-Bus to an XR200 use a Model 460 Interface Adaptor Card and a second Interface Card, such
as a 481 Zone Expansion Card, 462N Network Interface Card, or 462P Printer Interface Card.
Note: The XR100 Series panel only supports one on-board LX-Bus.
5.See the XR500 Series Installation Guide (LT-0681), XR2500F Installation Guide (LT-0759), XR100 Series
Installation Guide (LT-0899) or XR200 Installation Guide (LT-0197) for complete installation instructions.
6.See the XR500 Series/XR2500F Programming Guide (LT-0679), XR100 Seriels Programming Guider (LT-0896), or

Some applications require that during a system reset, fire horns be silenced
first, followed later by strobes. This type of operation allows the strobes to
remain active after the initial fire notification horn silencing. The strobes
deactivate only after the cause of the alarm is investigated and the system
is reset.

is performed at any Fire Command™ or other DMP keypad.

Model 867 Style W LX-Bus™ Notification Module
The Model 867 provides one supervised Style W notification circuit for system expansion and connects at any point
on the panel LX-Bus. Two sets of rotary switches provide a unique addressing scheme which enables the module to
respond to one address for supervision, yet operate the notification circuit on a second address. Having separate
supervisory and notification addresses allows multiple modules to be activated in groups, while monitored by the
XR500 Series, XR2500F, XR100 Series, or XR200 panel individual supervisory zone programming.
A ring style jumper allows any one of four notification cadences to be selected: Steady, Pulse, Temporal, or
California School Code. The 867 is also capable of switching 12 or 24 VDC up to 5 Amps from an auxiliary power
supply. Mount the 867 Module in the power supply enclosure for supervised operation.
