Compliance Notice for ULC Norms

Some countries have specific requirements for how the user interface of a fire protection system appears and functions.
In Canada, the relevant norms are the Underwriters Laboratories of Canada (UL) in the UL 864 and UL 2572 specifications.

NOTICE TO USERS, INSTALLERS, AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION, AND OTHER INVOLVED PARTIES
This product incorporates field-programmable software. In order for the product to comply with the requirements in the Standard for Fire Alarm Systems, UL 864, and in the Standard for Mass Notification Systems, UL 2572, certain programming features or options must be limited to specific values or not used at all as indicated in the following tables.

NOTES:

1) For examples of the possible distributed and non-distributed configurations, search for the "System Architectures" help pages of your fire system. See also Distributed Systems.

2) Refer to the System Dimensioning Guide to determine how many physical objects the system will support.

3) When connecting the Desigo CC PC in the UL 864 setup to non-UL 864 infrastructure (such as Building X services) on the Public Internet/Private Intranet, a UL 864 listed switch should be used to separate the UL 864 setup from the non-UL 864 infrastructure.

4) In UL 864 setups, the following units should be located in the same room with a distance between them LESS THAN 18 m and wiring connections between them enclosed in metallic conduit:

Desigo CC computer and the connected Scalance XC206 switch
MOSA and the connected Ethernet switch
MOSA and the connected FS20M/XLS panel

5) To connect Desigo CC to Public Internet, Desigo CC needs to be connected to a UL 864 switch in the same room within 18 m in conduit, then this UL 864 switch needs to be further connected by Multi Mode or Single Mode fiber to a ULC listed switch (UL 864 not required), and then this ULC listed switch may connect to Public Internet.

Journaling Printout Settings

UL 864-compliant fire systems must provide a journaling line printer that meets the related performance requirements of printing 50 event-related registrations in 90 seconds.

You must modify your printer’s default settings and select a pre-defined UL journaling template to ensure the printer meets the UL 864 requirements.

The printer settings shown in the following specification sections refer to the line printer model EPSON LQ-2090 or LQ-2090II.

UL Journaling Template Specifications

The UL Templates are located at:
[installation drive:]\[installation folder]\[project]\profiles\JournalingUserTemplates.

You should use on of the UL templates along with the line printer settings to ensure the required performance (50 Alarm-related events printed in 90 seconds).
The UL Templates have a condensed layout which results in a faster printout.
They provide no page headers and footer, and include the following four data columns:

Cause
Device Text
Transition Time
Event Source

The following table provides the UL-compliant configuration specifications for journaling:
