2864 Eagandale Blvd - Fire Control Instruments Manual0 r1 u • FIRE CONTROL INSTRUMENTS, INC. DESCRIPTION The FC-72 Series Fire Alarm Control is an attrac- tive, versatile, modular system. It meets the re- qairements set forth by NFPA standards 71, 72-A, B,C and D for Central Statioq Local, Auxiliary and Remote Station Proprietary Signaling Sys[ems. It conforms to UL Standard 864 and all its power limited and transient immunity requirements. The wntemporary appearance of [he heavy duty 16 gauge cold-rolled steel enclosure finished in textured beige (Federal standard 595 No.23531) is further enhanced by the back lighted Lexang panels displaying Yhe s[atus of vital functions. The surface mounted enclosure, with its slim ap- pearance (less than 4" in depth) is designed to blend with any environment. Options include red finish and trim ring for semi-flush mounting. The many standazd feamres of the FG72 Series provide a cost effective approach to modern sys- tems design, with integral features [hat allow a new degree of fleaibility in one enclosure. Many funo- tions including power supply, battery charger, in- itiating circuits, full supervision, Class "A" and Class "B" operation, plus other features, are in- cluded in the basic control. The modular concept offers total freedom of sys- tems configuration, ease of expansion, and com- plete interchangeability of all standard modules. Field expansion of an existing system can easily be accomplished by the addition of plug-in modules such as initiating circui[s, zone coding, signal cir- cuit time limi[ cutoff, sprinkler supervision, verifieation and additional indicating appliance cucuits. All components of the system are of high quality and are selected to operate over a wide range of tolerances. Relays are protec[ed with dust cover shields and plug-in circuit boards have gold plated contacls to ensure against oxidation and corrosion. Complete supervision of vital components includ- ing relay coils, LED's, plug-in modules, all func- tional switches, and standby batteries is provided. All external wiring is supervised for opens, shor[s, and ground faults. The trouble silence switch has "ringback" capability in [he control panel as well as on the supervised remote trouble annunciator.

BULLETIN 72-145/1088 DRBC DUAL RATE BATTERY CHARGER MODULE FM ` J DESCRIPTION The DRBC Dual Rate Battery Chazger Module is a solid-state, fully automatic device that will provide sufficient curren[ to maintain compatible rechazgeable ba[teries at full charge regazdless of vaziations in line voltage or load. 'Itvo charging modes aze provided: FLOAT, which maintains a chazged battery in fully chazged condi- tion and HIGH RATE, which permits a dis- charged battery to be chazged rapidly. The DRBC senses the battery conditionby monitoring Ihe cur- rent drawn by the battery at a par[iculaz cell volt- age. If [hc battery attempts to draw more [han a specified amount of current from the chazger, i[ will au[omatically switch to the HIGH RATE mode and maintain a high rate of chazge current until the batteries requirements are me[. The DRBC will then automatically switch to [he FLOAT mode. The DRBC requires FC-72 system cabinet space equivalent to that of four zones, and will provide system compatible battery supervision, high rate indication, remote trouble indications and in[er- face to [he FC-72 system trouble buss. Overcur- rent and reverse polari[y protec[ion aze provided as well as intemal fuse protection.

I i t` ? t I ` Irt4erface Module The Alarmline Interface Module is a solid state control device that enables the Sensor Cable, which is analog in nature, to operate in conjundion with the Fenwal 3240 Fire Control Panel or other FM Approved control units. FIRE and FAULT LED indica[ors as well as a FIRE and FAULT test switch are located on the module. The module is powered by and re- ports via the hro-wire connection of a standard detection circuit. The Interface Module continuously monitors the Sensor Cable for overheat as well as open or short circuR lault con- ditions. These conditions are displayed on the modute by two lED indicators: FIRE - red and FAULT - amber. System Test The module can be tested by means of Rs momentary action test switch located on the faceplate. IMPORTANT NOTE: Before testing, care should be taken to disarm any extinguishing, alarm or other auxiliary tunc- tions connecied to the InteAace Module and the Fire Conirol Panel since Fire and Fault tesi conditions are signaled to the Control Panel as genuine alarm or tault conditions. To test tor a fire alarre indicatioq hold the switch in the up position until the red FIRE LED is fit. To test for a(ault con- dition indication hold the switch in the down posifion until the amber FAULT LED begins to flash. It may be necessary to hofd the test switch for up to five seconds to ini[iate either condition. Simply reset the alarm reset switch on the as- sociated control panel to clear either condition. ALARMLINE SENSOR Ci4BLE FIELD TESTING METHOD #1 Simply use a hot air gun to increase the sensor cable temp- erature to ihe required alarm point (determined 6y Alarmline nomogram). The gun should be moved back and forth to heat up two to three feet of Alarmline cable. Precaution must be taken not to exceed the 390°F destruction temperature of Alarmline sensor. See Heat Pad information, page 5. METHOD #2 At the end of each zone of Alarmline coil up approximately the last 25 teet of sensor in a junction box which is accessible from ground level. (In case of hazardous location this section should be terminated outside the hazardous area). This can 6e used in conjunction with an oven (supplied by Fenwal) to verify ditterent lengths of sensor alarming at different temper- atures as indicated by the appropriate nomogram. NOTE: Hazardous Locations To employ ei7her method 1 or 2 in a hazardous foca- tion requires extendrng a portion of the sensor out- side of ffie hazard to a safe area for the term of tbe [esf onty.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION Fenwal Alarmline Oetection System permits eariy detection of tire or overheating. It is especially suited for confined areas or harsh environments where adverse ambient condi- tions cause other detedion devices to be unreliable or dif- ficult to use. The system consists of three components: a Sensor Ca61e, an Interface Module and an FM Approved Fire Control Panel. System Operation The Sensor Cable consists of four copper conductors, each covered with a negative temperature coefficient material. An increase in temperature bwers the resistance of the Tour conductors insulation. 7his change is monitored by the Inter- tace Module which activates an alarm signal at the predeter- mined temperature level. The temperature at which the system will alarm is deter- mined by the setting of a 72-position alarm trip switch on the Interface Module. The appropriate setpoint of this switch is established by the use of a nomogram incorporating two known factors: 1. Maximum ambient temperature of the alarm zone 2. Length ofthe Sensorto be used The integrating (averaging) ettect of the Sensor Cable en- ables it to detect a localized hot spot or a low level temper- ature increase over its total lenpth. A special feature of the Fenwal Alarmline Sensor Cable is that it self restores when temperature drops below the set poini, provided it has not been heated to its destructive temperature point of 390°F. At this temperature the sensor will lock permanently in the alarm state. SYSTEM COMPONENTS Sensor Cable The basis of every Fenwal Alarmline Detector System is a small diameter cable capable of detecting changes in temp- erature in localized areas Or over its entire length. The Sen- sor Cable consists of four 26 AWG copper conductors, each color-coded in an insulated sheath of negative temperature coefficient polymer. The conductors are twisted together as iwisted pairs at 30 turns per foot and protected by a flame-re- tardant outer extrusion (see Figure 1). The color-coding of the four inner conductors is repetitively marked on the outer coating as an aid in insfallalion. NECAm,E rrMPEw,,uAE SENEOP CONUUCTOR O 1MNE CABLESENSOR Figure 1 Standard Sensor Cable At one end of the Sensor Cable the conduciors are joined in pairs and hermetically sealed to form two pairs, one out and one return. (see Figure 2). This hermetically sealed end be- comes the outer end of the detection zone. At the other end of the Sensor Cable, the four inner conduc- tors connect to the Inter(ace Module. This connection can be either direct, or via a junction box with standard copper wire. A High Resisiance Sensor is available if an application re- quires a longer length or higher alarm or ambient operating temperature than achievable with the use of the standard sensor. 1 ?o - ro CONTPDL ?
