Basic Operation

The appropriate LED ﬂ ashes to indicate a change of status on the panel. A trouble or supervisory condition will ﬂ ash the appropriate Yellow LED indicating the location of the condition. If any outputs are programmed as TROUBLE or SUPERVISORY BELL, that Yellow output LED will ﬂ ash indicating the output is activated. Pressing the BUZZER SILENCE button on the panel changes the ﬂ ashing zone Amber LED to steady on and turns the ﬂ ashing Yellow output LED off. An alarm or low air alarm condition will ﬂ ash a Red LED indicating the zone in alarm and any outputs mapped to that zone that

12

VFR-400 • 5403548 • REV D • 10/07

have activated. Pressing the SIGNAL SILENCE button changes the ﬂ ashing Red Zone LED to steady on and the ﬂ ashing Red Output LED mapped to that zone off unless the output is programmed as RELEASE. In addition, the Yellow ALARM/ SILENCE LED will light. Any zone programmed as WATERFLOW is considered non-silenceable so the signal and buzzer silence buttons will have no effect on the ﬂ ashing zone and output LED's. A buzzer on the annunciator sounds for any trouble condition. When the panel has a trouble or supervisory condition, pressing the SILENCE/LAMP TEST button silences the condition at the panel and all annunciators. When the panel is in a normal state, pressing the SILENCE/LAMP TEST button can be used to test the LED's. The release panel supervises and communicates with the annunciator via separate connections for the RS-485 communication and 24VDC power requirements of the RA-4410-RC. Separate cables should be used for power and communication. Shielded cable shall be used for the communication line. Up to three annunciators can be connected to one panel. A rotary switch is provided on the panel to indicate how many annunciators are connected. Another rotary switch is on the annunciator to set the address. The annunciators must be addressed consecutively. See page 54 for wiring information. Refer to bulletin #8840024 for installation instructions and maximum wire run.

Test Procedure

The system should be inspected, tested, and maintained in accordance with NFPA-72 National Fire Alarm Code, Chapter 10 and any other requirements of the local authority having jurisdiction.

Test Procedure (Canada)

The system should be inspected, tested, and maintained in accordance with ULC Standard CAN/ULC-S536 and any other requirements of the local authority having jurisdiction.

Testing should be done as a minimum as described below:

1) Notify the ﬁ re department or other receiving station if alarm, supervisory and/or trouble signals are transmitted.

2) Notify the proper building personnel so that audible and/or visual signals can be ignored.

3) If the release panel is monitored by a building ﬁ re alarm panel, take appropriate action to eliminate any unwanted events.

4) Momentarily open each of the following circuits. a) Each initiating device zone b) Supervisory circuit c) Indicating Appliance/Releasing circuit - observe that this results in a trouble condition and all indicators operate as described in the appropriate preceding section for the particular circuit that is faulted.

5) Move the PROGRAM switch down. The LCD should respond: “LOOK AT HISTORY?”. Press the FUNCTION button until the display reads PASSWORD=000. Enter password if changed from factoy or press the SET button three times. Press the FUNCTION (bottom) button until the LCD reads “SYSTEM MODE: NORMAL”. Press the SELECT button. The LCD will read “SYSTEM MODE: ONE MAN WALKTEST”. Press the SET button then move the PROGRAM switch up. The panel will respond with “ONE MAN W ALKTEST” and the time. The trouble LED will light.

INIT ZONE #1

DETECT I ON

Initiating Zone Description

This allows the user to describe the initiating zones. Ten different descriptions are available. They are:

1) FIRECYCLE - Used only with Normally Closed Firecycle® heat detectors. Automatic restoration of the Firecycle® heat detector will automatically start the Soak Timer.

2) DETECTION - These include smoke detectors, pull stations, heat detectors and other devices put on a conventional zone.

3) WATERFLOW - Alarms from waterﬂ ow zones are non-silenceable

4) LINEAR HEAT DETECTION - These use a special wire with a fuseable insulation

5) MANUAL RELEASE - Used to override cross zoning and cause instant release

6) LOW AIR ALARM – This is for a low air switch used in a double interlock system. Usually cross zoned with a smoke or heat detector. Activation of this zone creates a supervisory condition on the panel but can still operate the release circuit.

7) SUPERVISORY - For monitoring any supervisory function as assigned

8) TAMPER - For control valve monitoring

9) LOW AIR - Used to detect low air pressure

10) HIGH AIR - Used to detect high air pressure

The ﬁ rst ﬁ ve descriptions (FIRECYCLE, DETECTION, WATERFLOW, LINEAR HEAT DETECTION, and MANUAL RELEASE) are Alarm Zones. When activated, they will put the panel into alarm and operate the appropriate output as well as operating the alarm relay.

th

description (LOW AIR ALARM) creates a supervisory condition on the panel but can be used to activate the release

The 6 circuit. This activates the Supervisory relay not the Alarm relay.

The last four descriptions (SUPERVISORY, TAMPER, LOW AIR and HIGH AIR) are Supervisory Zones. When activated, they will put the panel in a supervisory condition and activate any output described as “SUPERVISORY BELL”. They cannot activate the release circuit.

The 1st description (FIRECYCLE) is an automatically resettable alarm zone. The status of the zone follows the status of the FIRECYCLE heat detector. When the detector restores, the zone restores and initiates the soak timer.

Note: When FIRECYCLE is selected for zone 1, only outputs #3 and #4 can be mapped as releasing circuits.

If zone 1 is programmed as the FIRECYCLE, the following will appear in the display:

SOAK T IMER

Output Description

This allows the user to describe the functions of the output circuits. Four descriptions are available:

1) ALARM INDICATING - Notiﬁ cation appliances include bells, horns, strobes and other appliances used to indicate an alarm.

2) RELEASING - Releasing appliances include solenoids and other electrically compatible devices.

3) SUPERVISORY BELL - Appliances on this circuit are used to indicate the presence of a supervisory condition. Any zone programmed as LOW AIR ALARM, SUPERVISORY, TAMPER, HI AIR or LOW AIR is automatically mapped to this output.

4) TROUBLE BELL - Appliances on this circuit are used to indicate the presence of a trouble condition. The user should describe each output circuit in the same manner as the initiating circuit was described by pressing the SELECT

button to select and the SET button to set the desired function.

VFR-400 • 5403548 • REV D • 10/07

Wire Checkout:

With all initiating devices and notiﬁ cation appliances installed and with the EOLR’s in place, check the wires with an ohmmeter. Meter readings outside of the following will prevent normal operation. From any wire to ground – less than 100K ohms. Across the 2 wires on each Initiating zone – between 1.8K ohms and 5.4K ohms. Across the 2 wires on each notiﬁ cation circuit – between 1.8K ohms and 23.9K ohms.

Mounting Instructions:

1) The unit should be mounted in a convenient location, approximately 5 ft. from the ﬂ oor where it will be accessible for testing and servicing.

Removal of this false front exposes electrical components at potentially hazardous voltages and should be performed by qualiﬁ ed personnel only.

2) The main circuit board module should be removed before attempting to mount the cabinet. Disconnect the AC power from TB201. To remove the module, remove the two screws holding the chassis to the cabinet. Lift the module upwards, approximately 1/2", in order to clear the cross-beam of the cabinet on which the module rests. Remove the module and set aside.

3) Install all required conduits, external wiring and devices and make all connections that are external to the panel. Replace the module. With the AC power still turned off at the circuit breaker panel, connect the AC hot, neutral and ground wires to the terminal block TB201 as shown on the connection drawing. (See connection drawings on page 54)

4) Connect all the other wiring to the terminals as shown in the connection drawings. Turn the AC power on and connect the standby batteries with the cable provided, polarity must be observed.

5) Replace false front panel and secure with mounting screws.

6) The operation of the complete system should be veriﬁ ed as outlined in the test procedure section.

Battery Size Calculations

To use Calculation Table:

1) List in column #1 all devices used in the system, include all modules, bells, horns, door holders, and smoke detectors (see table #1 or manufacturers speciﬁ cations).

2) List in column #2 the quantity of each device.

3) List in column #3 the standby current of each device (exclude all signal indicating devices).

4) List in column #5 the alarm current of each device.

5) For each line, multiply the ﬁ gure in column #2 by the ﬁ gure in column #3 and enter the product in column #4. Then multiply the ﬁ gure in column #2 by the ﬁ gure in column #5 and enter the product in column #6.

6) Add the ﬁ gures in columns #3 and #6, enter the sums in the appropriate Total mA box.

7) Convert these ﬁ gures from milliamperes to amperes by multiplying by 0.001, enter the product in the appropriate T otal A box.

8) Multiply the standby total amperes by required time in hours from table 2.

9) Divide the alarm total amperes by 12 (5 mins.).

10) Add the standby AH and the alarm AH and divide this sum by 0.85 (efﬁ ciency factor). Select a battery that has an AH rating above this ﬁ gure but not less than 6.5AH.

Battery Size Requirements And Maintenance

NEC Section 760-54. Installation of Conductors and Equipment.

(a) Separation from Electric Light, Power, Class 1, and NPLFA Circuit Conductors.

(1) In Cables, Compartments, Enclosures, Outlet Boxes, or Raceways. Power-limited circuit conductors shall not be placed in any cable, compartment, enclosure, outlet box, raceway, or similar ﬁ tting containing conductors of electric light, power, Class 1, or nonpower-limited ﬁ re alarm circuit conductors.

Exception No. 1: Where the conductors of electric light, power, Class 1, or nonpower-limited ﬁ re alarm circuit conductors are separated by a barrier from the power-limited ﬁ re alarm circuits. In enclosures, power-limited ﬁ re alarm circuits shall be permitted to be installed in a raceway within the enclosure to separate them from Class 1, electric light, power, and nonpowerlimited ﬁ re alarm circuits.

Exception No. 2: Conductors in compartments, enclosures, device boxes, outlet boxes, or similar ﬁ ttings, where electric light, power, Class 1, or nonpower-limited ﬁ re alarm circuit conductors are introduced solely to connect to the equipment connected to power-limited circuits to which the other conductors are connected, and

a. The electric light, power, Class 1, and nonpower-limited ﬁ re alarm circuit conductors are routed to maintain a minimum of 0.25 in. (6,35mm) separation from the conductors and cables of power-limited ﬁ re alarm circuits, or b. The circuit conductors operate at 150 volts or less to ground and also comply with one of the following:

1. The ﬁ re alarm power-limited circuits are installed using Types FPL, FPLR, FPLP or permitted substitute cables, provided

these power-limited cable conductors extending beyond the jacket are separated by a minimum of 0.25 in. (6,35mm) or by a nonconductive sleeve or nonconductive barrier from all other conductors, or

2. The ﬁ re alarm power-limited circuit conductors are installed as nonpower-limited ﬁ re alarm circuits in accordance with Section 760-25.

Exception No. 3: Conductors entering compartments, enclosures, device boxes, outlet boxes, or similar ﬁ ttings, where electric light, power, Class 1, or nonpower-limited ﬁ re alarm circuit conductors are introduced solely to connect to the equipment connected to power-limited ﬁ re alarm circuits or to other circuits controlled by the ﬁ re alarm system to which the other conductors in the enclosure are connected. If the conductors must enter an enclosure that is provided with a single opening, they shall be permitted to enter through a single ﬁ tting (such as a tee) provided the conductors are separated from the conductors of the other circuits by a continuous and ﬁ rmly ﬁ xed nonconductor, such as ﬂ exible tubing.
