Notication/Release Circuits

The indicating circuits of the PFC-4410RC are Non-coded. This allows the use of visual and audible appliances on the same

circuit. If temporal notication appliances are required for evacuation, selectable tone appliances such as the AMSECO H24WR

horn or SH24W Series strobe/horns or a temporal module such as AMSECO TMP1-3A or equivalents shall be used.

The notication outputs do not provide synchronization. See table for sync options and devices on page 89. The notication ap-

pliances shall be compatible with the sync module selected. The sync' module shall be installed as per manufacturers instructions.

Synchronization is limited to only one circuit and not between circuits. Systems intended for the release of Halon 1301 as de-

scribed in NFPA 12A, or clean agents as described in NFPA 2001, shall have provision for a pre-discharge notication circuit. If

the signal is required to be separate and/or distinct from the evacuation signal, two notication circuits are required. One shall be

programmed as FIRST ALARM. It will provide a steady output upon activation of any initiating zone programmed as an alarm

zone. This is the evacuation signal. If a temporal signal is required, notication appliances such as AMSECO model H24WR or

others that can produce a temporal tone shall be used. This allows the use of strobes and horns on the same circuit. The other no-

tication circuit shall be programmed as SECOND ALARM. It will provide a steady output upon activation of a second initiating

zone programmed as an alarm zone. This is when the pre-discharge timer would start and would be the pre-discharge signal. If a

temporal or other type of signal is required, notication appliances such as AMSECO model H24WR or equivalent shall be used.

This allows the use of strobes and horns on the same circuit. If a separate signal for discharge were required, a third notication

PFC-4410RC • 5403550 • REV Q • 11/12

circuit would be used that would be programmed to operate whenever the release circuit is activated. Equivalent sync modules

are shown on page 89.

Zones programmed as MANUAL RELEASE will activate outputs programmed as SECOND ALARM, even if the MANUAL

RELEASE zone is the rst alarm zone activated. SECOND ALARM is intended to be used as a pre-discharge signal for cross

zone applications. Refer to page 50 for a complete description of rst and second alarm requirements and operation.

• 4 Class B Style Y (Class A Style Z module available for notication)

NOTE: Mode 3 is not UL Listed

Mode 1 – (ULI) Activation of the abort circuit stops the pre-discharge timer at 10 seconds. If there is less than 10 seconds

remaining, the time goes back to 10 seconds. Releasing the abort switch starts the timer at 10 seconds.

Mode 2 – (IRI) Operates the same as the ULI mode except the abort circuit only functions if the abort button is pressed before the

second alarm is received by the panel. The panel must be programmed for cross zoning for the IRI mode to function.

Mode 3 – (NYC) This mode is not UL listed. Activation of the abort circuit during the pre-discharge countdown adds 90 seconds

to the original pre-discharge time. This is a one-time feature. Repeated pressing of the abort button has no effect. The

pre-discharge timer resumes when the abort button is released.

Mode 4 – (30-Second Abort) This mode is not UL listed. Activation of the abort circuit stops the pre-discharge timer at 30

The appropriate LED ashes to indicate a change of status on the panel. A trouble or supervisory condition will ash the appropriate

Yellow LED indicating the location of the condition. If any outputs are programmed as TROUBLE or SUPERVISORY BELL, that

Yellow output LED will ash indicating the output is activated. Pressing the BUZZER SILENCE button on the panel changes the

ashing zone Amber LED to steady on and turns the ashing Yellow output LED off.

An alarm condition will ash a Red LED indicating the zone in alarm and any outputs mapped to that zone that have activated.

Pressing the SIGNAL SILENCE button changes the ashing Red Zone LED to steady on and the ashing Red Output LED mapped

to that zone off unless the output is programmed as RELEASE. In addition, the Yellow ALARM/ SILENCE LED will light.

Any zone programmed as WATERFLOW is considered non-silenceable so the signal and buzzer silence buttons will have no

effect on the ashing zone and output LED's. A buzzer on the annunciator sounds for any trouble condition. When the panel

has a trouble or supervisory condition, pressing the SILENCE/LAMP TEST button silences the condition at the panel and all

annunciators. When no non-silenced trouble or supervisory conditions exist, pressing the SILENCE/LAMP TEST button can be

used to test the LED's.

The release panel supervises and communicates with the annunciator via separate connections for the RS-485 communication and

24VDC power requirements of the RA-4410RC. Separate cables should be used for power and communication. Shielded cable

shall be used for the communication line. Up to four annunciators can be connected to one panel. A rotary switch is provided on

the panel to indicate how many annunciators are connected. Another rotary switch is on the annunciator to set the address. The

annunciators must be addressed consecutively. See page 89 for wiring information. Refer to bulletin #8840024 for installation

instructions and maximum wire run.

10. Maximum resistance on outputs is 10 ohms. Maximum

resistance on outputs programmed as releasing, is 1

divided by current requirements of solenoid.

11. Notication outputs do not provide synchronization.

If synchronization is needed, refer to the NAC table on

page 90. Synchronization is only on one circuit and not

betweeen circuits. The maximum cannot exceed 1 amp or

whatever the maximum that the sync' module can support,

whichever is lower.

NOTES:

1. Connect only UL Listed 24VDC devices to indicating

circuits.

2. Connect EOL Diode assembly IN SERIES with solenoid

on release circuit

3. Leave EOLR (provided) on all unused circuits.

4 Polarity is shown on indicating circuits in an activated

(off-normal) condition.

5. Polarity reverses when output is activated.

6. Maximum current per output is 1 Amp. Maximum voltage

is 33VDC.

7. Outputs identied as Release are Special Application. All

other outputs are Regulated 24 VDC, Rated 1 Amp each,

2.5 Amp total for all 4 circuits.

8. All initiating and NAC/Release circuits are supervised and

power limited. See note 3 on page 92 for power limited

wire routing instructions. All frequencies are continuous.

9. Refer to pgs. 16, 83-85 for installation, test and

maintenance information.
