I/O Circuit Configuration
The PFC-6075R is equipped with two (2) I/O circuits that may be configured as either input or output devices. The panel has
ground fault detection on the I/O circuits. The impedance to ground for ground fault detection is 0 ohms.
Note: The I/O circuits only operate as Class B. Refer to the figure shown below for a wiring example of an I/O circuit
configuration.

Type of output is selectable. Strobes can be synchronized with all compatible strobe devices, including Potter/AMSECO®,
Cooper Wheelock®, Gentex®, or System Sensor®.
I/O Maximum Impedance Formula
The maximum impedance is a function of the load placed on the circuit. To calculate the maximum impedance, use the following
formula:
(Alarm Current of Notification Appliances) x (Wire Resistance) < 3 Volts
