Description:

The STAR Software Defined Radio Fire Alarm transmitter, 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 Kingfisher 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.

Operation:

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. Input zones are independently monitored for fault conditions.

The radio circuitry monitors input signals and builds an alarm message that it transmits on a pre-selected VHF radio frequency channel. Several alarm message formats that conform to an existing Kingfisher messaging standard can be selected. Message format specifics are selected by the alarm technician using a laptop computer or the Kingfisher Cordless Programmer app (Android or iOS). When used with the KCi MCR2 receiver, up to 21 standard event types and unlimited user defined event types are supported. Per FCC requirements, the STAR transmitter employs a 60-second lockout after the completion of each full round cycle and limits output power to 1W.
