Main Board Wiring Specifications

There are several wiring requirements to consider before connecting circuits to the main board: (1) the circuit separation, and (2) wiring types.

Circuit Separation

Proper separation between the different types of circuits must be maintained between Power Limited, Non-Power Limited, and High Voltage wiring to reduce electrical interferences, transient voltage or voltage ratings.

yy Separations between the different wiring types must be maintained by at least ¼ inch and the wire insulation must be for the higher voltage.

yy The control panel cabinet has sufficient knockouts located around the periphery allowing the installer to maintain separation between power limited and non-power limited connections.

Wiring Types

Wiring specifications must be followed to prevent damage or other consequences.

Refer to table below for a breakout of the different wiring requirements shown by circuit type:

Table 5: Main Board Circuit Wiring Types

		Wiring Type
Type of Circuit	Voltage		Power
AC Connection	High Voltage		Non-Power Limited

Battery Circuit Calculations

Before selecting the battery, it is important to determine the minimum size batteries for standby and alarm times desired for each application and SLC current draw. If the wrong batteries are installed in a specific application or incorrect current draw used, the proper standby and minimum alarm time will not be present.

The battery circuit is rated for 8 to 55 AH batteries and will operate the panel alarm for at least 24 hours and 5 minutes. The cabinet will house up to two (2) 8 AH or two (2) 18 AH batteries.

Please use the worksheets listed below to calculate the battery size and current draw required for each application and the SLC:

Isolator Device Load Calculation

This section covers the distinction between an addressable sensor and an isolator to correctly calculate the total SLC device load. A device uses an address and consumes power. Whereas, an isolator does not use an address, but does consume power.

The following scenarios explain how to calculate the current device load based on the SLC configuration.

Scenario 1: Class A Loop – Isolated Devices Configuration

In this configuration, each sensor and isolator device / module counts as one (1) when calculating the total device load.

Formula: Total # addressable devices + Total # isolators = Total power unit allocations (or device load)

Figure 3. Example of a Class A Loop – Isolated Branches

LEGEND:

ISO Module/

Device

Sensor

PANEL

DWG # 593-4

Configuration Summary:

Total addressable devices = 8 (sensors only) out of 30 possible addressable points.

Total device load = 17 (calculated as follows: 8 sensors + 9 isolators) out of 127 power unit allocations.

Example: If a configuration uses 30 sensors, up to 97 isolators may be supported.

Solution: 127 - 30 = 97

2-10

PFC-6030 • 5403595 • Rev C • 2/13

Scenario 2: Class B Loop – Isolated Branch Configuration

In this configuration, there are 4 separate branches each with an isolation device / module and 1 or more sensors. Each sensor requires an address, as shown in Scenario #1 (isolators do not require an address). However, in this scenario, each isolator consumes power equal to 8 devices. To calculate the total device load, refer to the following rule:

Device Load Rule for Branch Configurations

Count all devices, including isolators, on the branch.

•If the count is <=8, allocate 8 as the device load.

•If the count is >8, allocate the actual device count number.

					PANEL		DWG #593-3

Configuration Summary:

Branch #2 has 2 devices = 8 power allocations

Branch #3 has 10 devices = 10 power allocations

Branch #4 has 4 devices = 8 power allocations

Total addressable devices = 15 (sensors only) out of 30 addressable points.

Total device load = 34 out of a possible 127 power unit allocations.

The SLC panel provides power and communication to each of the sensors and modules connected. The SLC is polled by the system every 4–5 seconds. This panel has a loop capacity of 30 addressable points, which may be configured in any combination of smoke sensors, heat detectors, and input or output modules.

All devices require an address prior to connecting to the control panel. Refer to “Addressing SLC Devices” located later in this section for details.

SLC Wiring Requirements

The wiring parameters listed below MUST be followed to ensure proper installation:

•Maximum wiring resistance between two (2) Short Circuit Isolators (SCIs) must be less than 10 ohms.

•Total resistance must be below 50 ohms.

•Maximum wire resistance must be calculated based on 0.1 ohm per SCI.

•Maximum loop capacitance must be 0.5 micro farads.

•All SLC wiring is low voltage and power limited.

Addressing SLC Devices

Before devices can be programmed, they must be assigned a unique address. There are two (2) methods to address devices:

(1) You may use a hand-held address setting device or (2) Use the panel's System Tools – SLC Addr Prog option. Only authorized system users may access the System Tools options. You may sequentially address individual devices or groups of devices and assign different numerical ranges (i.e., #1-10, and 15-25) as necessary.

To address devices via a hand-held address device:

1.Connect the device to the base on the hand-held address device or to the terminals with a pair of wires to connect modules.

2.Use the buttons on the device to set the address, and press Enter to complete addressing device.

3.Repeat steps for each device.

Notification Appliance Circuits Installation

There are two (2) NAC circuits provided on the PFC-6030 rated as continuous 3 amps at 24 VDC. The NAC circuits may be configured for Class A or Class B. (Please refer to the Class A and B wiring examples located in this section.)

NAC Wiring

yy Outputs are supervised and regulated. yy Circuits are power limited.

yy Type of NAC output is selectable, and may be configured for strobe synchronization with Potter/AMSECO, Cooper Wheelock®, Gentex®, or System Sensor® strobe devices. Refer to the listing of compatible models located in the

“NAC Compatibility Document”, Potter #5403592, for this information.

yy The CA-6075 Class-A Expander may be programmed to allow for operation of the NACs. The expander adheres to the same circuit rating, supervision and regulation as other circuits.

NAC Maximum Wiring Impedance Formula

The maximum impedance is a function of the load placed on the circuit. To calculate the maximum line current impedance, use the following formula:

(Alarm Current of Notification Appliances) x (Wire Resistance) < 3 Volts
