The Viking Model B-1 Par-3 Release Control Panel is a supervised, 24 Volt, microprocessorcontrolled Release Control Panel. The panel is designed to operate up to two electric release
devices (usually solenoid valves) in the release piping of deluge or preaction systems. The
panel is available for use with either 120 VAC or 230 VAC power supplies. A built-in battery compartment holds two 12 Volt batteries that are charged by an internal battery charger. Batteries
are available to provide up to 90 hours of backup power during AC power failure.
The Model B-1 Release Control Panel can be used with a wide range of compatible initiating
devices, such as heat (including linear heat detection systems like the Protectowire Systems),
photoelectric, ionization, and smoke detectors.
A dip switch ‘Function Selector’ allows fi eld programming for one of four possible input/output
combinations (refer to Table 2).
In fi re conditions, when an initiating device circuit (or predetermined combination of circuits) is
energized, the panel activates a combination of release device circuits and alarm circuits according to the ‘Function Selector’ setting. On the panel’s display board, the appropriate Alarm,
Trouble, and Supervisory LED’s will fl ash until the event has been acknowledged. After depress-
ing the Tone or Alarm Silence button, the LED will remain steadily illuminated until the panel is
reset.
