Step 4 Initial System Checkout
Before Powering Up the Panel:
It is recommended that the PFC-9000 is powered up before any field wiring or modules are connected to it. The following
directions will guide the user through the initial set-up and step by step process of the initial start-up.
1. To prevent sparking, do not connect the batteries first. Connect the batteries after powering the system from the main
AC supply.
2. Check all Jumpers and Switches for proper setting (Refer to page 10)
3. Check the AC power wiring for proper connection
4. Check that the chassis is connected to EARTH GROUND (cold water pipe)
5. Make sure to close the front cover plate before powering the system from main AC supply
Step 5 Initial Power Up Procedure:
1. Turn on dedicated Circuit Breaker.
2. Once power is supplied to the panel, the “Trouble Queue” LED will light and the LCD will display “Initial system self
checks in progress…” This will last between 30 and 90 seconds. The trouble buzzer will sound.
3. After completing the System Checkout procedures the “A.C. ON” green LED will light, the “Trouble Queue” LED will
light, the buzzer will sound, and the LCD Display will display “System Restart, TRB Trouble 001 of 002…” (001 of 003
for the PFC-9100 series because the phone line voltage is not present). Press the “SYSTEM RESET” button to clear the
first trouble.
4. Since the batteries are not connected, “Battery trouble active TRB 001 of 001” will be displayed on the LCD, and the
trouble buzzer will sound intermittently and the Trouble Queue LED will flash.
5. Connect the batteries while observing correct polarity; the red wire is positive (+) and black wire is negative (-).
Connect the red wire to the positive terminal of battery #1 and the black wire to the negative terminal of battery #2.
Use the short black jumper wire on the wiring harness to connect the negative terminal of battery #1 to the positive
terminal of battery #2. By connecting the two 12 Volt batteries, a 24 Volt battery backup will be generated.
6. All indicators should extinguish except for normal power “A.C. ON” green LED, and the LCD should show a normal
status condition. If the panel does not follow the preceding steps, please contact Potter Technical Support.
7. Power the panel down by removing the battery power and the main A.C. power.
To prevent sparking, connect batteries after the systems main
A.C. Power is turned on.
