GENERAL
The XLS200 is a pre-configured, stand-alone
microprocessor-based life safety system. It is ideally suited
to meet the requirements of medium-sized buildings such as
offices, hospitals, schools, and malls. The panel has a 250point capacity and the capability to network to other panels
making it equally suited to a multi-building or campus-style
complex.
The XLS200 System supports the Signature Series
detection devices, each of which incorporates its own
microprocessor. The detector family is comprised of both
single-element sensing (photoelectric, ionization, and
thermal) as well as various combinations of these sensing
technologies in a single unit to provide unprecedented levels
of protection.

The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) operator interface provides

eight lines of 21 characters (168 total characters) to
annunciate system activity in a text format that is especially
useful in an emergency situation. In addition to date, time,
and alarm history count, the LCD is capable of displaying
both the first highest priority event and the most recent
highest priority event simultaneously. This allows the
operator to view current event information while at the same
time being aware of new alarms coming into the system.
The System Definition Utility (SDU) software is a Microsoft
Windows-based program that allows the programmer to
quickly create project-specific system software at the job
site. The SDU defines the system components;
characterizes all input/output relationships including timeevent sequences; and establishes system responses that
are mandated by local code.

The XLS200 Life Safety System is comprised of a

microprocessor-based, pre-configured, modular controller
and an intelligent initiating circuit of up to 250 Signature
Series detection devices designed to meet the stand-alone
needs of medium-sized buildings. Optional networking
capability makes the system suitable for multi-building
complexes as well.

The XLS200 panel consists of a Central Processor Unit

(CPU) that provides a mounting base for installing the Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD) operator interface, one Signature Data
Loop Controller module with one intelligent loop board and a
120 Vac Power Supply and monitor. A dead-front plate and
outer door is also provided that will protect the electronics.
This assembly is suitable for mounting in an XLS200B series
backbox which may be ordered separately.

The housing can be mounted flush (set back within a wall),

semi-flush (partially set into a wall), or on a wall surface. The
Local Rail Modules provide a base for installation of the LCD
Operator Interface and optional Control Display Modules.
The Inner Door Cover and Outer Door Cover protect the
components and provide an attractive finish to the system.

LCD Operator Interface and Display Module Panel.

Panel Capacities:
XLS200 facilitates isolation of field wiring with building
wiring terminations made on local rail module removable
terminal blocks. XLS200 local rail modules include a Loop
Controller, power supply monitor module, and the main CPU
module. System design allows convenient separation of
high-voltage and power-limited wiring internal to the panel.

LCD Operator Interface:

The LCD Operator Interface provides simple-to-understand
lights (LEDs) and switches to help operators execute system
commands with confidence during an emergency situation.
Common control switches and LEDs include (at minimum) a
Reset switch and LED; Alarm Silence switch and LED; Panel
Silence switch and LED; and Drill switch and LED. Eight lines
of 21 characters (168 characters total) display emergency
information in a useful text format. The following figure
illustrates a typical layout of the module.

XLS200 can operate as a complete, stand-alone system or

as a small node in a larger network. Five module spaces are
available. The XLS200 panel can support up to two Loop
Controllers (250 devices per loop). The XLS200 panel has
space for five XLS local rail modules. Two slots are required
for the CPU panel controller module; one slot is dedicated to
the power supply monitor. A Loop Controller is installed in
Slot 4. Slot 5 is available for expansion. The 7A power
supply mounts in the cabinet behind the local rail modules.

The eight-line text display area shows current date, current

time, and number of alarms on the first line. The next lines
show the first highest priority event, the last highest priority
event, and other information as applicable, so that operators
can view alarm data without opening the door of the
XLS200.
The LCD Operator Interface also provides a Command
Menu for maintenance functions such as disabling alarms or
generating reports for use by staff or service personnel.

Signature Series Intelligent Devices:

The Signature Series of devices offers a wide range of
single- and multiple-element technology, addressable
analog detectors and input/output modules, with up to 250
devices per loop.

Display Modules:
Control/display modules provide membrane switches with
positive tactile feedback and colored LEDs giving the
emergency user the simplest of interfaces. Control/Display
module locations are independent of the underlying
connection hardware, the local rail module, to optimize
system layout flexibility.

Networks:
Using an optional RS-485 Network Board, XLS200 can
operate on a multi-priority peer-to-peer token-ring network.
The multi-priority token ring gives XLS200 an exceptional
alarm response time of less than 3 seconds across the
network, virtually independent of the total number of nodes.
Network communication is via RS-485 serial ports. This twowire circuit supports Class A or B operation. The XLS200
network meets NFPA style 7 communications standards in
the Class A configuration.

Alarm Annunciation:
XLS200 performs Alarm, Supervisory, Trouble, and Monitor
operations. Annunciation is through the use of LED display
strips complete with custom labels for each LED as to its
function. Where applicable, control of remote smoke control
devices is available at the control center. Switches with LEDs
provide positive feedback to the operator of remote
equipment status. See the LCD Operator Interface and
Display Module Panel figure for an example (previous
figure).
