RELEASING CONTROL PANEL
Architects/Engineers Specifications
The control panel for the extinguishing agent releasing system shall be a
microprocessor based control capable of protecting multiple hazards in one
control panel. It shall be Underwriters Laboratories Inc. listed under Standard
864 Ninth Edition and Underwriters Laboratories of Canada for Local Control
Units for Releasing Service. The control shall also be approved by Factory
Mutual Research Corporation and be compliant with the requirements of
NFPA-72 (Local: A, M, SS service types; DAC and NC signaling type) and
NFPA12, NFPA12A, NFPA-13, NFPA-15, NFPA-16, NFPA-17, NFPA-17A,
NFPA-750, and NFPA-2001.
The control shall be housed in an 18 gauge steel cabinet that has a hinged,
removable door with a key lock. The finish shall be baked enamel and
available in red or off-white with contrasting trim and logo. An optional
matching bezel should be available for semi-flush mounting. The cabinet shall
have adequate space to house 18 AH standby batteries capable of operating
the system for at least 90 hours.
The control shall include a fully supervised integral power
supply/battery charger capable of providing 200mA to the auxiliary power
circuit. It shall also be capable of providing 2.5 Amps to all releasing and
notification appliance circuits combined. All initiating, output and auxiliary
power circuits shall be power limited.
The control shall have a 32 character (16 characters, 2 lines) backlit LCD
display and a 34 LED supplemental display. All diagnostic and alarm
event information shall be viewable in text form on this display. A field
programmable custom banner message with the current date and time shall
be displayed when no current alarm or diagnostic information exists.
All operational features of the control panel shall be field programmable using
menu driven selections on the alpha-numeric display and on board controls.
No special programmer will be required and jumpers or switches to configure
operational features shall not be permitted. Alarm and trouble indications
shall resound when required.
The control panel shall be equipped with 19 programs built into the panel
memory, 13 for water based extinguishing and 6 for agent extinguishing.
In addition, the panel shall have the ability to add custom programs. All
programming functions shall be password protected.
The control shall have four fully supervised Class B (Style B) initiating circuits
capable of supporting the operation of 25 compatible 2-wire smoke detectors
on each circuit.
The individual circuits shall be selectable through the programming sequence
to operate in one of the following modes: Conventional, Waterflow, Linear
Heat Detection (up to 10,000 feet per zone), Manual Release, Low Air Alarm,
Supervisory, Tamper, Low Air or High Air.
Optional Class A modules, CA2Z, may be added for Class A operation. The
panel shall have a Low Air Zone that creates a supervisory condition and map
to an output. UL and ULC Listed, FM Approved, NYMEA Accepted, CSFM
Approved
The control shall have two fully supervised Class B (Style B) supervisory
circuits. These circuits shall be selectable through the programming
sequence to operate in one of the following modes: Supervisory, Tamper, Low
Air or High Air.
The control shall have one fully supervised class B (style B) Abort circuit with
3 different operating modes, ULI, IRI, and NYC.
The control shall have four fully supervised Class B (Style Y) output circuits.
These circuits shall be selectable through the programming sequence to
operate as one of the following: Alarm Notification Appliance, Supervisory
Notification Appliance, Trouble Notification
Appliance or Releasing. The optional CAM module may be added to convert
the outputs to Class A.
The panel shall have an RS-485 output and auxiliary power outputs for
connection and supervision of up to 4 remote annunciators or an ARM-44
Relay Module and 3 annunciators.
The releasing circuits shall be supervised for short circuit conditions and shall
be programmable for cross zoning operation when required. The discharge
timer for these releasing circuits shall be programmable for times of 7, 8, 9,
10, 20 minutes or continuous. All initiating and
output circuits shall be capable of being individually disabled or enabled. In
addition, when in the agent extinguishing mode there shall be a pre-discharge
timer adjustable from 0-60 seconds from an alarm zone or 0-30 seconds from
a manual release zone.
The control shall have a test mode that will automatically disable all releasing
circuits. The test mode shall operate in such a manner as to automatically
reset the initiating circuit and indicating circuits after detecting each alarm
condition initiated by the test. All testing shall be recorded in the 40 event
history buffer. The test mode will automatically terminate after twenty minutes
of inactivity.
The control shall have four integral relay contacts rated 3 Amps at 30 VDC for
connection to external auxiliary equipment. One relay shall operate when an
alarm condition occurs, another when a trouble signal occurs, the third when a
supervisory condition occurs, and the fourth during a waterflow condition.
