1.0 Operating the Panel

Attention: ONLY UL/ULC LISTED MANUAL ABORT AND MANUAL RELEASE

SWITCHES, SUCH AS THE MIRCOM SS-2004, ARE PERMITTED FOR USE.

The TS1 terminal on the power supply board (MD-1011) is dedicated to supply power for releasing devices. For wiring information see LT-1083RCU FX-3500RCU Installation Manual.

1.1 Hazard Zones

Hazard zones are configurable by correlating input devices, releasing circuits, (pre)release signals, and manual release and abort switches.

Notes: Abort switches are only configurable in Preaction/Agent release applications.

Soak Delay timer is only configurable for Deluge applications.

Operating the Panel

1.2 Counting Zone Type

Releasing applications must be configured with one of the following Counting Zone types:

Single Activation of any one input device correlated to the hazard zone will initiate

the release process.

Double Activation of any two input devices correlated to the hazard zone will confirm

the alarm and initiate the release process.

Triple Activation of any three input devices correlated to the hazard zone will

initiate the release process.

2 Input Types Activation of any two different input device types (ion, photo, heat etc.)

correlated to the hazard zone will initiate the release process.

1.3 Abort Type

Releasing applications must be configured with one of the following Delay Timer types:

ULI Press Abort and the timer continues to count down and stops and holds at 10 seconds.

Release the ABORT switch and the timer resumes the countdown at 10 seconds.

IRI Same as ULI with the following condition: For the Abort switch to function, you must press

and hold the Abort switch before the second zone goes into alarm.

NYC Pressing the Abort switch causes the control panel to add 90 seconds to the Release

Delay Timer (RDT). Pressing and holding the Abort switch stops the Release Delay Timer (RDT) from counting down. Releasing the Abort switch resumes the count down of the RDT.

AHJ The timer does not start while you press and hold the Abort switch. Press the Abort switch

and the timer resumes counting down. Press the Abort switch again to restor e the timer to its full value. Release the Abort switch and the timer resumes counting down.

1.4 Configurable Timers

Releasing applications may be configured with the following timers:

Operating the Panel

Release Delay Timer (RDT)

Soak Delay Timer (SDT)

Manual Release Delay Timer (MRDT)

Attention: Manual Release cannot be aborted once it has been initiated. Use ULC-

S528 listed Manual Release such as MS-704(U) and MS-714(U).

1.5 Hazard Zone States

The escalating Hazard Zone states are as follows:

The amount of time from when the Hazard Zone is activated via correlated input devices until release. The maximum value for the RDT is 60 seconds.

The amount of time that the releasing circuit will be active. Upon the expiration of Soak Timer, the releasing circuits will be shut off. Only configurable in Deluge applications. The maximum value for the SDT is 600 seconds.

Configuring the SDT to 0 seconds causes the releasing circuits to shut off ONLY when the system is reset.

The amount of time from when the Manual Release Switch is pressed until release. The maximum value for the MRDT is 60 seconds.

• Hazard Idle

• Hazard Alarm

Hazard Release.

•

e states are defined based on the st a tus of Hazard Area input devices, and correl ated Abort

Th and Manual Release Switches.

1.5.1 Hazard Idle

The Hazard Zone is Idle when:

• Release Delay Timer (RDT) is not started.

• There are insufficient alarm conditions to activate the Hazard Zone. For more

information see Chapter 1.2 Counting Zone Type.

• Manual Release Switch is not active.

During this state:

• The corresponding NAC circuit(s) is off.

• Releasing circuit(s) is off.
