CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

This manual is designed to help with the specification, design and installation of the Potter PFC-9000 series fire alarm control panel. It is imperative that the manual be completely read and understood before beginning the installation of the fire alarm panel. The manual is broken down to give an overview of components and ordering information, installation guidelines and programming directions. Only qualified individuals should install the fire alarm panel and check the integrity of the installation and programming.

Failure to read and understand these directions may result in system malfunction or operation as not intended. Further, installers should be trained on the PFC-9000 system as well as meet the minimum requirements of NFPA72 National FireAlarm Code.

General Description

The PFC-9000 series fire alarm control panels are listed, microprocessor based, analog/addressable systems that allow for very flexible applications for use in mid sized addressable applications. The panel and the sensors communicate giving the user the address, location and level of alarm status utilizing a Signaling Line Circuit (SLC). The system offers a wide variety of modules and features that allow for even the most difficult applications. The panel has a powerful 12 amps power supply, 10 amps which are available for notification circuits.

The PFC-9000 base panel consists of one intelligent analog SLC loop capable of supporting 127 analog/addressable sensors and addressable modules which can be wired in Class A (Style 6 or 7) or Class B (Style 4). The system may be expanded to three loops using the loop expansion cards, bringing the system to a total of 381 addressable points.

The Main Display has a large 4 line 20 character alphanumeric LCD display and the common indicators with LED’s. The PFC9000 utilizes a simple menu system with a keypad to operate commands in the system.

In addition the base panel supports 3 adder circuit cards that provide a wide variety of features. Each of the Conventional Hardwire Circuit adder modules allow for eight Class B (Style 4) circuits or four Class A (Style 6 or 7) circuits. The Notification Hardwire Circuit adder module provides four additional notification circuits, each rated at 1.7 amps each in addition to the

base panel four notification circuits. The Relay Hardwire Circuit provides eight fully configurable form C contacts that may be correlated to any input of the system.

The PFC-9000 series fire alarm control panel offers three methods for communicating a fire alarm to the proper authorities; the Polarity Reversal/City Tie Connection, the form C alarm relay and a digital communicator.

Note: The two Programmable Buttons, General Alarm, and Acknowledge buttons are not labeled. Slide labels are provided in the event these buttons are used.

The main display for the PFC-9000 Series Fire Alarm Panel consist of a four-line, twenty character liquid crystal display (LCD) that interfaces with the user to operate, program and diagnose the panel. The LCD will display information from each of the queues as well as reporting and programming messages.

The panel has four queues where the different inputs are grouped based on the type. The queues are ALARM, SUPV (supervisory), TROUBLE and MONITOR and the information of the status of the panel and devices will fall under one of the queues. Each queue has an associated LED with it. The PFC-9000 will illuminate a red LED only when an alarm condition is present. All other conditions including ground fault, supervisory and trouble conditions will be visually indicated on the panel with a yellow (amber) LED and a corresponding message on the LCD screen.

The PFC-9000 panel has six buttons that control basic operations of the panel. Two of these buttons are programmable in the computer software and the others are standard. The standard buttons are SYSTEM RESET, SIGNAL SILENCE, FIRE DRILL and LAMP TEST.

The SYSTEM RESET is used to restart the panel after initial power up and used to reset any alarm condition or latching supervisory condition. The System Reset will turn off the Fire Drill, reset 4-wire smoke power, reset timers and begin to process inputs as new events. The SYSTEM RESET will also clear any Pre-alarm condition that exists on the panel. When the system is restarted and reset, a time and date stamp is logged in the Alarm and Event history buffer.

The SIGNAL SILENCE is used to silence/deactivate the notification circuits that are programmed as silencable/deactivate capable. Upon receipt of subsequent alarms, the silenced/deactivated circuits will be reactivated. If the Signal Silence Inhibit is programmed, the Signal Silence will not operate until the timer has expired. In Two Stage operations, if the Auto General Timer has timed out, the Signal Silence will operate the same as the Acknowledge button.

Do not silence the system prior to investigating source of the alarm. All occupants may not have evacuated if the system is silenced prematurely.

PFC-9000 • 5403535 • REV G • 9/08

The FIRE DRILL is used to activate the notification circuits that are programmed as part of the fire drill. These circuits are configured in the computer software and by default are the four base notification circuits. The fire drill only activates the notification circuits, and other outputs such as relays. The DACT and City Ties remain idle. The fire drill is turned on and off by pressing the FIRE DRILL button. The fire drill is cancelled if an alarm condition is received.

The LAMP TEST feature illuminates all of the LED’s on the main display as well as blocks in the entire LCD display. If the Lamp Test is left on for more than 10 seconds, a trouble will be displayed on the display.

When the Two-Stage operation is programmed in the panel, two additional buttons are active on the main display of the panel. These are GENERALALARM and ACKNOWLEDGE. Two-stage operation operates by the programming of devices as first stage Alert Inputs or second stage General Alarm Inputs. When the panel reaches a General Alarm condition (either by the TwoStage timer expiring, a General Alarm Input activating or pushing the General Alarm Button) all of the programmed notification outputs are activated.

When a first stage input is received at the panel, a timer begins to allow investigation before the General Alarm activates. After the receipt of the first stage alarm, pushing the ACKNOWLEDGE button will suspend the timer and prevent the General Alarm from activating. After pushing the ACKNOWLEDGE button the yellow (amber) LED will illuminate steady and will extinguish when the panel is reset or the General Alarm button is pushed.

Once the panel has received a first stage alarm, pushing the GENERALALARM button will automatically send the panel into the second stage and activate all notification circuits. In addition, pushing the GENERALALARM will reactivate any silenced/ deactivated circuits and illuminate the red GENERALALARM LED.

Two buttons are programmable from the computer configuration software. These buttons may be configured as any of the following:

Buzzer Silence	Auxiliary Disconnect	Audible Walktest
Silent Walktest	Manual Day/Night	Automatic Day/Night
Undefined

The programmable buttons cannot be programmed the same as other switches that are present such as fire drill or system reset.

The Menu and scrolling buttons used for the on board panel programming are found in the upper right hand corner of the PFC9000 panel. The MENU button accesses the Command Menu. The CANCEL button cancels the current operation and returns to the previous screen. The INFO button provides more information about status of the panel. The INFO button is particularly helpful in diagnosing items that appear in one of the queues. The arrow keys scroll up and down through the different menus and items in the queues. The ENTER button confirms the operation or selection within the Command Menu.

Common Indicators:

Buzzer:

The buzzer will activate when the panel is powering up until the initial set-up is complete. The buzzer also sounds at a steady pace whenever an Alarm or Supervisory condition exists. The buzzer will sound intermittently when a Trouble or Monitor condition exists. The buzzer will silence when the operator scrolls through all of the events or if the programmable switch is used as a buzzer silence. The buzzer silence switch will not function during the initialization.

A.C. On LED:

The A.C. On Indicator turns on steady green when the main AC power is within acceptable levels. It is turned off when the level falls below the power-fail threshold and the panel is switched to standby (battery) power. When AC power is applied to the panel, a green LED will be illuminated on the main panel. If the LED is not illuminated, either AC power is lost or is below 102 VAC.

When AC power is remove, panel must have sufficient battery back-up to operate. Failure to maintain batteries may result in premature panel power-down. Panel and connected devices will not operate without power.

Pre-Alarm Led:

The Pre-Alarm Indicator flashes red at the Trouble Flash Rate if there is a Sensor Pre-Alarm condition detected. The panel will indicate a PRE-ALARM condition whenever a device reaches 70% of alarm threshold. The Pre-Alarm is not a trouble nor

supervisory condition, it is merely a notification that a device is near its point of going into alarm. If a device is in pre-alarm and another device reaches pre-alarm, the panel will process the two events as a general alarm.

A ground fault may render a circuit inoperable. Ground faults should be located and corrected promptly.

PFC-9000 • 5403535 • REV G • 9/08

Ground Fault LED:

The Ground Fault Indicator flashes amber at the Trouble Rate when the Ground Fault Detector detects a Ground Fault on any field wiring. It is turned off when the Ground Fault is cleared. The GND FAULT is a yellow (amber) LED which illuminates whenever a ground fault is present on the system. Pushing the INFO button will give further information as the location of the ground fault (i.e. negative side of loop 1, etc.).

Alarm Queue LED:

The Common Alarm Indicator turns on steady red whenever the Panel is in Alarm as a result of an alarm on any Initiating Circuit or activation of the manual red General Alarm Button (if the Panel is set for Two-Stage Operation). Since all Alarms are latched until the Panel is reset, the Indicator will remain on until then.

Supervisory Queue LED:

The Common Supervisory Indicator turns on steady yellow (amber) when there is a Supervisory Condition in the Panel, as the result of any Latching or Non-Latching Supervisory Circuit. The Indicator is turned off if all Non-Latching Supervisory Circuits are restored and there are no Latching Supervisory Circuits active. Latching Supervisory Conditions remain active until the Panel is reset.

Trouble Queue LED:

The Common Trouble Indicator flashes yellow (amber) at the Trouble Flash Rate when there is any Trouble condition being detected on the panel. It is turned off when all Non-Latching Troubles are cleared.

ATrouble condition indicates that there is a fault in the system. Failure to investigate and mitigate a Trouble condition could render part or all of the system inoperable.

Monitor Queue LED:

The Monitor Trouble Indicator flashes yellow (amber) at the Trouble Flash Rate when there is any Monitor condition being detected on the panel. It is turned off when all Monitors are cleared.

Fire Drill LED:

The Fire Drill Indicator turns on steady yellow (amber) while Fire Drill is active.

Signal Silence LED:

The Signal Silence indicator flashes yellow (amber) at the trouble rate when Notification Circuits are Silenced either by the Signal Silence button, or by the Auto Signal Silence Timer. It is turned off when the Signals are re-sounded by a subsequent Alarm.

LED Indicators may be Yellow (amber), Red, or Green, and will illuminate continuously (steady), or at one of two Flash Rates based on the type of signal

Monitoring and Notification requirement of Underwriters Laboratories (UL)

Central Station

When a system is required to be connected to a Central Station, both phone lines of the UDACT must be connected and configured. The UDACT should be connected upstream of all other connections (i.e. PBX, network phone systems, fax machines, etc.) in order to seize the line. In addition, the UDACT cannot be connected to party lines or ground start lines.

When a loss of AC power occurs, the UDACT must be configured to send a trouble between 6 and 12 hours.

The UDACT must be programmed with the correct time and to send an automatic test report each day to the Central Station.

The UDACT must be configured for a minimum of 5 dialing attempts and a maximum of 10. For more information on programming the UDACT, see pages 32-33.

Remote Supervising Station Service

The UDACT must be configured for a minimum of 15 hours to report a loss of AC power.

The phone lines must be configured to contact the alarm signal receiving station and to contact the trouble and supervisory receiving station.

Local Service

When the PFC-9000 panel serves for local notification, a minimum of one (1) UL listed notification appliance must be used.

Failure to connect operating phone lines for a PR-5000 or UDACT-9100 will result in the panel not transmitting an alarm to a constantly manned facility. Local Service systems will sound notification appliances at the building only. Regular testing of the fire alarm control panel is required to ensure proper operation and notification.

Mounting Recommendations

As with all electrical products, the PFC-9000 will not operate properly when in contact with water or a humid atmosphere. As a guide the following locations are NOT recommended areas for installation:

•Directly mounted to exterior walls, particularly masonry (condensation), or on exterior walls below grade

•In the vicinity of plumbing where possible, especially large sinks

•In sprinkler system riser rooms where a splash potential exists from drains and valves

•In rooms where humidity producing equipment is also installed (i.e. dryers, air conditioning equipment, etc.)

•Outdoors

The panel should be mounted on an interior wall where it is not subjected to vibration or shock. In addition, the temperature range should be between 32º F and 120º F. Also, the relative humidity should not exceed 85%.

The door is hinged, keyed and removable. Combination ½” / ¾” knockouts are available on the top and side of the cabinet. The cabinet includes five stand-offs for mounting the main chassis and a ground terminal. The overall dimensions of the cabinet are 26” tall x 14 ½” wide x 4 ½” deep.

PFC-9000 • 5403535 • REV G • 9/08

Electrical Specifications

Input Power

The PFC-9000 operates on a nominal 120 or 240 VAC with a minimum and maximum line voltage of 102 VAC and 132 VAC or 204 VAC and 264 VAC respectively. A resettable 4-Amp fuse is installed on the primary side of the transformer-input power. The transformer is a 24-volt transformer that provides 12 Amps of power to the panel. For more detailed information on power consumption refer to the battery calculation sheet.

The fire alarm panel must be connected to a dedicated circuit and should be wired using 12 AWG wire through the side conduit entrance. The black (hot) must be connected to the line, the white to the neutral (N) and the green to the ground. An earth ground must also be connected to the cabinet.

Per the National Electrical Code, the fire alarm circuit breaker should be marked red and labeled.

Battery Backup Requirement

The PFC-9000 is capable of charging standby batteries from 17 to 40 amp-hours. The batteries should be sized according to the battery calculation performed that accounts for all standby currents and power requirements when the panel is in alarm.

Permanent installations require AC power and battery backup to be supplied to the panel. Failure to properly size batteries could result in the panel prematurely shutting down when there is a loss of AC power.

17 AH batteries are the minimum capacity batteries allowed in the PFC-9000 series. The installation of batteries with a capacity less than 17 AH will damage the batteries and panel.

When the panel communicates to a Central Station, a minimum of 24 hours of stand-by current and five minutes of alarm current is required. When communicating to a Remote Supervising Station, a minimum of 24 hours of battery stand-by is required followed by five minutes of alarm current.

The cabinet will house up to 18 amp-hour batteries; larger batteries will need to be housed in a separate cabinet.

A 20-amp fuse on the main board protects the battery circuit. If the panel is showing a trouble condition of missing batteries, and the batteries are connected and meter to the correct voltages, then the fuse should be replaced.

Connect AC power to panel followed by batteries. Observe polarity when connecting batteries. Failure to do so may result in damage to the batteries, battery leads, or panel.

PFC-9000 • 5403535 • REV G • 9/08

CHAPTER 3: CABINET INSTALLATION

Step 1 Remove Chassis from Cabinet

The chassis is included in every PFC-9000 series fire alarm panel when it leaves the factory. It is recommended that the chassis be removed from the cabinet before installing the cabinet to reduce the possibility of foreign debris being introduced on the circuit boards. The chassis is connected to the cabinet using five #8-32 hex nuts. The main body of the chassis connects in each of the four corners and the fifth nut connects to a ground terminal. The furthest right removable terminal block must be removed to install the top right nut.

Step 2 Install Cabinet

Install the cabinet in either a surface or flush mount orientation. Allow necessary clearance for all necessary field wiring. The PFC-9000 cabinet has knockouts located on the sides and top for bringing the wire to and from the panel. The different wiring should be isolated to prevent electrical noise and induced voltages. The wiring should be separated by the type of circuit: AC voltage input, notification circuits, signalling line circuit, telephone communication, annunciator communication and relays. Failure to do so could increase the chances of a false alarm.

Step 3 Power Connections

·Connect panel ground terminal to EARTH GROUND (cold water pipe)

·With the dedicated circuit breaker in the OFF position, connect the black (hot) to the line (L), the white to the neutral (N) and the green to the ground (G).

Step 4 Initial System Checkout

Before Powering Up the Panel:

It is recommended that the PFC-9000 is powered up before any field wiring or modules are connected to it. The following directions will guide the user through the initial set-up and step by step process of the initial start-up.

1.To prevent sparking, do not connect the batteries first. Connect the batteries after powering the system from the main AC supply.

2.Check all Jumpers and Switches for proper setting (Refer to page 10)

3.Check the AC power wiring for proper connection

4.Check that the chassis is connected to EARTH GROUND (cold water pipe)

5.Make sure to close the front cover plate before powering the system from main AC supply

Step 5 Initial Power Up Procedure:

1.Turn on dedicated Circuit Breaker.

2.Once power is supplied to the panel, the “Trouble Queue” LED will light and the LCD will display “Initial system self checks in progress…” This will last between 30 and 90 seconds. The trouble buzzer will sound.

3.After completing the System Checkout procedures the “A.C. ON” green LED will light, the “Trouble Queue” LED will light, the buzzer will sound, and the LCD Display will display “System Restart, TRB Trouble 001 of 002…” (001 of 003 for the PFC-9100 series because the phone line voltage is not present). Press the “SYSTEM RESET” button to clear the first trouble.

4.Since the batteries are not connected, “Battery trouble active TRB 001 of 001” will be displayed on the LCD, and the trouble buzzer will sound intermittently and the Trouble Queue LED will flash.

5.Connect the batteries while observing correct polarity; the red wire is positive (+) and black wire is negative (-).

Connect the red wire to the positive terminal of battery #1 and the black wire to the negative terminal of battery #2. Use the short black jumper wire on the wiring harness to connect the negative terminal of battery #1 to the positive terminal of battery #2. By connecting the two 12 Volt batteries, a 24 Volt battery backup will be generated.

6.All indicators should extinguish except for normal power “A.C. ON” green LED, and the LCD should show a normal status condition. If the panel does not follow the preceding steps, please contact Potter Technical Support.

7.Power the panel down by removing the battery power and the main A.C. power.

Annunciator Wiring Instructions

Step 1: Install Backbox

Step 2: Connect Field Wiring for First Annunciator

·Attach two conductor twisted shielded cable from RS-485 terminals on panel to RS-485 “IN” terminals on annunciator. The “S” terminal is for the cable shielding.

·Attach two conductor power cable from 24VDCAux Power terminals on main panel to 24VDC “IN” terminals on annunciator.

Do not use 4Wire Resettable Smoke power from main terminal.

·If not the last annunciator in the series, remove jumper JW1. (RA-LCD only)

·Assign address as described below.

Step 3: Attach Field Wiring to Subsequent Annunciators

·Attach two conductor twisted shielded cable from RS-485 “OUT” terminals on previous annunciator to RS-485 “IN” terminals on next annunciator. The “S” terminal is for the cable shielding.

·Attach two conductor power cable from 24VDC “OUT” Power terminals on previous annunciator to 24VDC “IN” terminals on next annunciator.

·If not the last annunciator in the series, remove jumper JW1.

·Assign address as described below.

·Continue until all annunciators are installed.

Accidentally connecting the 24 VDC Power connection to the Communication or vice versa will result in annunciator and/or panel damage!

AnnunciatorAddress Programming

Each annunciator must be addressed uniquely and sequentially in order for the panel to recognize the device. The addressing is completed using the dipswitches on the annunciator. Both the RA-LCD and the RA-LED32 utilizes the SW1 switch for the

address. The RA-LED32 has an additional set of dipswitches, SW2, for disabling the common features (i.e. System Reset, Signal Silence, etc.) as described below.

The RA-LCD is addressable by address, beginning with Address 33, whereas the RA-LED32 is addressed by the number the annunciator is in the system.

EXAMPLE: If a system had an RA-LCD and RA-LED32 annunciator the RA-LCD would be addressed 33 and the RA-LED32 would be addressed as 2 for being the second annunciator in the series. Use the following tables for Dip Switch Positions.

PFC-9000 • 5403535 • REV G • 9/08

RA-LCD Dip Switch Position

The “OFF” setting is the active setting for the RA-LCD annunciator and all of the dipswitches are binary. The following table indicates the dip switch position for each address for the RA-LCD, switches 7 and 8 are not used:

PGD-32 and PGD-48 Graphic Drivers

The PGD-32 graphic driver provides the link between the PFC-9000 and large graphic annunciators. Other manufacturers supply the actual display, but the lights are illuminated using the graphic driver. The PGD-32 is essentially a large switch that turns on LED’s or lamps that are correlated to a specific input. In addition, the graphic driver provides outputs for the common indicators as well as the common controls. The PGD-32 has inputs for common control buttons and outputs for the common indicators and thirty-two configurable outputs for lamps or LED’s. The graphic driver requires a nominal 24 VDC to operate, 24 VDC for the lamp power and the RS-485 communication. A single PGD-32 will support up to 224 circuit display points using up to four of the PGD-48 expansion boards. Jumpers on the PGD-32 control all of the features including supervision of the outputs.

The system may be expanded to have a maximum of five PGD-48 connected to any one main annunciator. Terminal P1 on the expansion board will have a ribbon cable that will plug into P2 of the preceding board. The PGD-48 is an expansion of the main annunciator and therefore does not count as one of the eight annunciators.

The PGD-32 is connected to panel through the RS-485 annunciator output and is programmed essentially in the same way as the RA-LED32 LED annunciator. The PGD-32 is considered the same as an annunciator and therefore occupies one of the eightannunciator points. Each lamp point is correlated to an input and the panel activates the particular circuit when the input activates. In addition, the addressing for the graphic driver is the same as the RA-LED32 in that the driver is given an address in accordance with what number of annunciator in line it is. For further information, refer to the PGD-32 and PGD-48 Wiring and Installation Instruction manual included with the graphic drivers.

CHAPTER 5 Module Adder Circuit Cards

Overview

The circuit adder cards are attached directly to the PFC-9000 chassis using screws and stand-offs. The stand-offs are factory installed for the ease of adding modules in the field. The circuit adder cards must be installed from the right to the left due to the plug connection for power and communication. A few exceptions do exist. The UDACT-9100 must be installed in the far-left spot due to plug connections. Also, the loop adders must be installed in the far-right spot due to plug and power connections.

Note: Circuit adder cards must be installed in the PFC-9000 panel in the same order as they are loaded into the system configuration software.

PFC-9000 • 5403535 • REV G • 9/08

Care must be taken to ensure that the proper terminals and plugs are connected. Failure to observe plug keys and proper plug locations can result in circuit card and main panel damage. Make all connections from the circuit adder cards to the main panel with the panel powered down and batteries disconnected.

When a loop adder, either the SLA-127P or the DLA-254P, is installed in the PFC-9000 the wiring configuration must be such that each module receives power and the proper communication. The loop adder must be installed in the farthest most right spot and the ribbon cable must plug directly into P5 on the main chassis. If other boards are also being installed, they should be installed first starting with the middle slot. The long ribbon cable included with the loop adder must be plugged into P6 on the main board and connected to the ribbon cable on the first adder board other than the loop adder. In addition, the long power cable connects from P8 on the PFC-9000 to P3 on the last adder card to the left. The long power cable and ribbon cable are included with the SLA or DLA.

SLA-127P Single Loop Intelligent Adder Card

The Single Loop Adder provides an additional 127 addressable points to the base 127 addressable points standard with the PFC9000. The addressable loop is fully analog/addressable and can be any combination of sensors and modules. Only one loop adder module, either the SLA-127P or the DLA-254P (Dual Loop Intelligent Adder Card) can be installed to a PFC-9000 system.

The SLA-127P mounts in the far right adder location in the PFC-9000 and connects directly to the main fire alarm board. The stand-offs are factory installed in the chassis and the SLA-127P screws directly to the stand-offs. Power down the system and connect the plugs to the main fire alarm panel before fastening the adder card to the panel chassis. The SLA-127P is Loop 2 in the Configuration Software.

The P2 ribbon cable from the adder card is connected to P5 on the main fire alarm panel. The yellow loop expansion sticker will have to be removed before connecting the loop adder to the main board. If additional adder cards will be installed, plug the long ribbon cable that comes with the DLA into P6 on the PFC-9000 board. This cable will connect to P2 on the next adder card to the left.The loop adder receives power from the main fire alarm control panel. If just a SLA 127P is added the cord will plug into the main board (P8). If Adder Modules are installed, a longer cable is used to connect P3 of the furthest left module to P8 of the 9000 chassis. P4 of the adder module next to the SLA-127P then connects to P1 of the Loop Adder.

All of the loops must be wired either Class A or Class B, the mixing of wire combination is not possible. If shielded cable is used as the loop conductor, only wire one leg to the “Shield” terminal on the loop adder board. As with the main panel, the terminals are marked for Class A and Class B wiring.
