Introduction
About this Manual
This installation and operation manual provides information on installing and operating the PFC-5000 Microprocessor-Based
Fire Alarm Control Panel.
About the PFC-5000
Potter’s PFC-5000 Fire Alarm Control Panels provide 2, 4, or 8 supervised Class B (ULI Style B) Initiating Circuits, or 1,2 or 4
supervised Class A (ULI Style D) Initiating Circuits, and 2 or 4 supervised Class A or B (ULI Style Z or Y) NAC Circuits. All
Circuits are supervised for opens and ground faults, and NAC Circuits for shorts. Optional Modules include a ZA-42 Zone
Adder (required for full capacity in the PFC-5004E only), a UDACT-9100 Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter (DACT) or
a PR-5100 Polarity Reversal & City Tie Module, and ARM-4 or ARM-8 Relay Modules. The two enclosures are fl ush or surface
mountable, and can be used for retrofi ts and on new installations.
Overall Features:
The small enclosure versions, PFC-5002, & PFC-5004, have 2 and 4 Class B (Style B) initiating circuits respectively which •
may be confi gured as 1 or 2 Class A (Style D) Circuits respectively. These also have 2 Power Limited Class A/B (Style Z/Y)
NAC circuits with individual trouble indicators.
The large enclosure version, PFC-5004E, has 4 Class B (Style B) initiating circuits which may be confi gured as 2 Class A
•
(Style D) circuits respectively. It also has 2 power limited Class A/B (Style Z/Y) NAC circuits with individual trouble
indicators. With a ZA-42 Zone Adder Module, an extra 4 Class B (2 Class A) initiating circuits, and 2 Class A/B NAC
circuits are added.
Each initiating circuit is confi gurable as a normal or verifi ed alarm. In addition, on a Class B PFC-5004 or PFC-5004E,
•
Initiating Circuit 3 may be a Waterfl ow Zone (as may Initiating Circuit 7 if a ZA-42 is installed), and initiating circuit 4 may
be a latched or non-latched supervisory zone (as may initiating circuit 8 if a ZA-42 is installed). On a Class A PFC-5004E
with a ZA-42, initiating circuit 3 may be a waterfl ow zone and initiating circuit 4 may be a latched or non-latched
supervisory zone.
NAC circuits can be confi gured as audible or visual and as silenceable or non-silenceable. Audibles may be Steady,
•
Temporal Code, California Code, or March Time.
Initiating circuits may be individually disconnected by a slide-switch.
•
Confi gurable signal silence inhibit (disabled or 1 minute), auto signal silence (disabled or 20 minutes), and one-man walk test. •
Subsequent alarm, supervisory, and trouble operation. •
Four-wire resettable smoke power supply (100 mA max.). •
Auxiliary relay contacts for common alarm and common supervisory (disconnectable), and a common trouble relay. If no •
Supervisory zones are confi gured then the common supervisory relay can be used as an extra common alarm relay.
Interface for an RTI Remote Trouble Indicator.
•
RS-485 Interface for 1 to 3 Remote Multiplex Annunciators (RA8F.) •
The PFC-5002, PFC-5004 may use two of optional UDACT-9100 (DACT), PR-5100 (City Tie), ARM-4 or ARM-8 Relay Modules. •
The PFC-5004E may use optional UDACT-9100 (DACT), PR-5100 (City Tie), and one of ARM-4 or ARM-8 Relay Modules. •
The PFC-5008 is the same as PFC-5004E except the ZA-42 zone adder module is factory installed and may have UDACT- •
9100 (DACT) factory installed.
Slide Switch controls and LED Common indicators.
•
Easy confi guration via DIP switches. •
Extensive transient protection. •
