Introduction
The STAR Radio Fire Alarm (KFCi #99952) is a self-contained Auxiliary Signaling Device that
responds to contact closures from standard fire panels, emergency switch devices, supervisory
switch devices and auxiliary switch devices to generate an alarm message in a standard King-
Fisher KFRA-C receiving processing unit format and transmits that message by radio. The
STAR is contained in a NEMA-1 cabinet and derives power from a 120VAC circuit. It
maintains a backup battery, periodically checking its status and supplying charging voltage to
keep the battery fully charged. The STAR can operate from its battery in standby mode for 96
hours following a power failure. The STAR will generate a trouble message if it detects loss of
AC power, disconnection of the battery, a battery that does not hold a charge, or a break in any
of the input connections. To prevent spurious trouble messages, a confirmation wait time of 60
sec is applied. If the fault exists for at least 60 sec only then is a trouble message transmitted.
This prevents excessive trouble message signals during normal maintenance, such as changing a
battery or short duration power failures.
There are two basic units that make up the STAR subsystem. An Interface circuit controls the
power subsystem and monitors up to six Class B monitored inputs. It applies debounce logic to
signals on these inputs to prevent responding to external noise, such as that due to lightning
strikes in the area. When an alarm is warranted, the interface triggers the radio transmitter
control circuitry to initiate the transmission of the alarm message.
The radio circuitry monitors input signals and builds an alarm message that it transmits on a
preselected VHF radio frequency channel. Several alarm message formats that conform to an
