The IFP-300 (red) / IFP-300B (black) and IFP-300ECS (red) / IFP-300ECSB (black) are analog addressable fire alarm control panels
(FACP), that meets the requirements of UL 864.
IFP-300ECS is an intelligent fire alarm control panel combined with an Emergency Communication System that meets the requirements
for Mass Notification as described in UL 864 and UL 2572.
*All references to IFP-300 or IFP-300ECS within this manual are applicable to the IFP-300B and IFP-300ECSB.

1.1 Overview of Basic System

The IFP-300 base system is an addressable system with a built-in annunciator that can also be used to program the system.
1.1.1 Hardware Features
• The basic IFP-300/ECS panel contains one built in signaling line circuit (SLC), which supports up to 159 IDP or SK sensors and
159 IDP or SK modules or 127 SD SLC devices. Additional SLC loops can be added to increase overall point capacity.
• Additional 6815 SLC expanders supports 159 IDP/SK sensors and 159 IDP/SK modules for a maximum of 300 points per IFP-
300/ECS control panel.
• Additional 5815XL SLC expander supports only SD Protocol for a maximum of 254 points per IFP-300/ECS control panel.
• 6.0A of output power is available through 4 sets of terminals for notification appliance circuits or auxiliary applications. Each
circuit is power limited per UL 864 and can source up to 3.0A (total output power for all 4 circuits must not exceed 6.0A). The
constant auxiliary power load must not exceed 3A for normal standby.
• Built-in dual phone line, digital alarm communicator/transmitter (DACT), IP or optional cellular technologies.
• Reports events to central station by point or by zone.
• UL Listed for pre-action and deluge releasing systems.
• Two general purpose Form C programmable relays.
• One Form C Trouble Relay.
• Can be used with up to 16 Model RA-100, RA-1000, or RA-2000 Remote Annunciators in any combination (sold separately).
• Can be used with Model 5865-3, 5865-4, and 5880 in any combination for a total of eight devices on one control panel. See
Sections 4.11 and Section 4.12 for additional information on these models.
• Printing of event log available through the Model 5824 serial/parallel printer interface module.
• 250 software zones, 250 output groups.
• Add six Flexput circuits with each RPS-1000 power supply.
• Add four NAC circuits with each 5496 NAC expander.
NOTE: The system can have a maximum of 16 Intelligent Power Modules, 5496 or RPS-1000, combined
1.1.2 Network System Hardware Features
• The default network setup can contain up to 32- IFP-300 panels connected.
• Network support for up to 32 sites.
• Each building is referred to as a "site".
• Panels can be interconnected using a CLASS B or CLASS A topology.
• To network panels together use the SK-NIC network card. Copper wire or fiber optic cable panel connectivity can be used within
the same networked system.
• The network architecture provides true peer to peer capability allowing network survivability for all hardware that remains
operational in the event of partial system failure.
1.1.3 Software Features
• Advanced smoke detector features:
• Automatic drift compensation
Automatic day/night sensitivity adjustment
Maintenance alert region
Point status meets calibrated smoke test requirements for NFPA 72
• "JumpStart" feature for easy programming
• Non-volatile event history stores 1000 events
• A choice of output patterns available for notification outputs, including ANSI 3.41 temporal signal
• Built-in synchronization appliance support for AMSECO, Gentex
1.1.4 IFP-300ECS Features
• Can Select ECS message as priority over fire alarm
• 15 recordable messages that can be mapped to eight ECS buttons
• Supports up to seven ECS-LOC's.
• Support for one ECS-VCM or ECS-NVCM.
• Programmable trigger inputs from an external source, such as a Monaco system, to either the ECS-VCM, ECS-NVCM, ECS-
RVM, 5880 or any SLC input module.
• Fire alarm and ECS combined in one easy to program system
