Description
The PDB-8C1R power distribution control interface converts a main non-power limited DC power source to 8 power-limited
outputs that can be controlled by a (FACP) Fire Alarm Control Panel. For the model PDB-8C1R /8F1R each output can be
selectively set (J1-J8) to turn ON or to Turn OFF when triggered by the panel. The FACP or other control system can interface to
the PDB-8C1R /8F1R with either of two or both supervised trigger inputs. One trigger is activated with a reverse polarity voltage
from a FACP. This trigger is fully isolated with an optical isolator. The other trigger is an (EOL) 2.2K End Line Resister input which
will accept a (N/O) Normally Open switch or a (N/C) Normally Closed switch.
When triggered, the Trigger Transfer Relay removes power from the NORM + bus and transfers it to the TRIG + bus. Jumpers J1J8 determines which bus each output is connected to. The triggered form C contacts also drop off normal when triggered and
the Red (TRG) LED turns on. These contacts can be used to daisy chain other PDB-8C1R, latch, or provide feedback to a system.
The Trouble Form C Relay drops off Normal if any one of the PTC circuit breakers is tripped, or main power/fuse is lost. The Green
(TRB) LED is ON during normal operation, it goes off with trouble. All three relays are Fail-Safe, energized in the normal
condition.
Each output has a Green LED that is on when the associated output (-1+ through -8+) is ON.
Typical applications for a Fire Alarm System would include adding remote Bells and enunciators, closing dampers, turning off
HVAC fans, unlocking fail secure and fail safe doors, and or returning elevators to first floor.
Note: HVAC and Elevator Control has not been evaluated by UL
