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.

Prior to installation, review the Par-3 Owner’s Manual and Viking Field Wiring Diagrams. (See package inside panel.) Observe all
instructions provided in the Par-3 Owner’s Manual. Field wiring must be according to VIKING FIELD WIRING DIAGRAMS for the
specifi c mode of operation required. See Table 1.
All wiring should be done in accordance with National and/or Local codes for fi re alarm systems.
The Authority Having Jurisdiction may have additional requirements.
1.
Mount the cabinet in a clean, dry, vibration-free area where temperature and humidity conditions do not exceed limitations indicated in TECHNICAL DATA.
2.
Verify that all initiating devices (detectors), indicating appliances, and releasing devices are compatible with the Model B-1 Par-3
Release Control Panel. Contact the Viking distributor for a list of compatible devices. Also, refer to appropriate Fire Protection
Equipment Approval Guides.
3.
Wire all alarm initiating devices sequentially for proper supervision.
4.
Pull required conductors through the knockouts provided.
5.
Prior to connecting to the panel, verify continuity of all circuitry.
6.
Prior to connecting to the panel, check for, and correct any short circuits.
7.
Make electrical connections to control panel for the detection, supervisory, alarm, trouble, and release circuits, according to appropriate VIKING FIELD WIRING DIAGRAMS for the system used and the Owner’s Manual provided with the panel.
a.
Where indicated on VIKING FIELD WIRING DIAGRAMS, install the 4.7 K Ohm ½ Watt End-of-Line Resistor (provided in
panel) at the remote end of circuit. End-of-Line Resistors should NOT be installed across Release Circuits.
b.
On all un-used circuits, leave the 4.7 K Ohm ½ Watt End-of-Line Resistor (provided in panel) in place.
c.
Maintain polarity on alarm bell and trouble bell circuits. Do not energize the panel until all associated, modules, and interconnecting cables have been connected.
8.
Prior to energizing the panel:
a.
Verify that dip switches controlling panel operation are in the proper position for the system used. Refer to Table 2 and VIKING
FIELD WIRING DIAGRAMS.
b.
Verify that all modules are securely and properly positioned on their pins. If a module is loose, carefully align all pins and
press firmly into position.
9.
Connect non-energized AC power to the panel. Refer to Figure 2 and VIKING FIELD WIRING DIAGRAMS.
a.
Connect the wire providing in-coming voltage to the terminal marked “H”.
b.
Connect the neutral wire to the terminal marked “N”.
c.
Connect the ground wire to the terminal marked “G”.
10.
Procedure for connecting Batteries: Note: Two battery plug/wire assemblies (long leads with plug) and jumper (short) wires are
provided with each panel. Connectors on one plug/wire assembly fit 7.0 AH Batteries. Connectors on the other plug/wire assembly
fit 12.0 AH Batteries.
a.

Plug the plug-in connector to J9 on the main board of the panel. (Refer to Figure 2 and VIKING FIELD WIRING DIAGRAMS.)
d.
DO NOT install jumper at this time.
To energize the panel and place the system in service:
11.
Energize the AC power supply to the panel. The Piezo will sound, and the “System Trouble” and “Power Trouble” LEDs will
flash.
12.
Use the jumper (short) wire to connect the unused negative terminal of one battery with the unused positive terminal of the other
battery. The Piezo should silence, and the “System Trouble” and “Power Trouble” LEDs should stop flashing.
13.
Perform appropriate tests to verify proper operation of the system.
14.
After placing the system in service, close and lock the panel to prevent tampering with the unit.
When installing optional cards, modules, inter-connecting cables, or other associated equipment, refer to MAINTENANCE, technical
data for the optional equipment, and Owner’s Manual provided with the panel.

6. INSPECTIONS, TESTS AND MAINTENANCE
NOTICE: THE OWNER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM AND DEVICES IN PROPER OPERATING CONDITION. THE VIKING MODEL B-1 PAR-3 RELEASE CONTROL PANEL MUST BE KEPT FREE OF FOREIGN MATTER AND
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS THAT COULD IMPAIR ITS OPERATION.
For minimum maintenance and inspection requirements, refer to NFPA 25. In addition, the Authority Having Jurisdiction may have additional maintenance, testing, and inspection requirements that must be followed.
WARNING: ANY SYSTEM MAINTENANCE THA T REQUIRES PLACING A CONTROL V AL VE OR DETECTION SYSTEM OUT OF SERVICE
MAY ELIMINATE THE FIRE PROTECTION CAPABILITIES OF THAT SYSTEM. PRIOR TO PROCEEDING, NOTIFY ALL AUTHORITIES
HAVING JURISDICTION. CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO EMPLOYMENT OF A FIRE PATROL IN THE AFFECTED AREAS.
I. Tests
A. Prior to proceeding with tests:
1.
Verify that installation complies with instructions in the Owner’s Manual provided with the panel and the appropriate VIKING
FIELD WIRING DIAGRAMS for the system used.
2.
Notify the Authority Having Jurisdiction and all those in the area affected by the test.
B. Alarm Activate Switch
To test alarm bell, waterfl ow bell circuits and alarm, detection, and waterfl ow relays:
1.
Push “Alarm Activate” (See Figure 1). Note: “Alarm Activate” is a latching function. “Alarm Silence” will silence indicating circuits
and System Alarm Relay and light the Alarm Silenced LED.
2.
When test is complete, push “System Reset”. Conditions should return to normal.
C. Waterflow
To test waterfl ow alarm on Viking pre-action and Viking deluge systems, consult technical literature for the system used:
1.
Turn the Alarm Test Valve to “Test” position. See Table 2 for output circuits and relays that should activate for the system used.
“Waterflow” circuits are latching.
2.
When test is complete return the Alarm Test Valve to the normal position and push “System Reset”. Conditions should return to
normal.
C. Detection
To test detection circuits:
1.
Close main water supply control valve, placing the system out of service.
CAUTION! FOR DELUGE AND SINGLE OR NON-INTERLOCKED PREACTION SYSTEMS, PERFORMING THIS TEST RESULTS IN
OPERATION OF THE DELUGE VALVE. FAILURE TO CLOSE THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY CONTROL VALVE WILL CAUSE WATER TO
FLOW INTO THE SPRINKLER PIPING.
CAUTION! FOR DOUBLE-INTERLOCKED SYSTEMS, SIMULTANEOUS OPERATION OF A DETECTOR AND LOWERING OF SUPERVISORY PRESSURE IN THE SPRINKLER PIPING WILL RESULT IN OPERATION OF THE DELUGE VALVE. FAILURE TO CLOSE THE
MAIN WATER SUPPLY CONTROL VALVE WILL CAUSE WATER TO FLOW INTO THE SPRINKLER PIPING.
