Description
The ARM-44 is an auxiliary relay module designed to operate with the PFC-
4410RC series release panels to provide an additional 8 independent form C
relay outputs in 3 different operating modes. The panel communicates with the
ARM-44 via the RS-485 and 24 VDC auxiliary power connections on the PFC-
4410RC.
Operating Modes
The relay board can either be installed inside the PFC-4410RC cabinet or
remotely in a separate backbox. The relays can be programmed to either latch
or follow the relay activation signal. There is also a disable switch to
prevent the relays from operating when the system is being tested or serviced.
The silkscreen under the relay terminals corresponds with the selected
operating mode: Mode 1/Mode 2/Mode 3
Examples
- Zone 1/Zone 1/Sup: indicates that relay operates with Zone 1 for Mode 1 & 2 and operates as a Supervisory relay in Mode 3.
- Out 1/Sup/Out 1: indicates that relay operates with Output 1 in Mode 1, as a Supervisory relay in Mode 2 and with Output 1 in Mode 3
| Mode 1 | Relays 1-4 follow the activation of zones 1-4, respectively |
|---|
Relays 5-8 follow outputs 1-4 respectively
Mode 2| Relays 1-4 follow the activation of zones 1-4, respectively
Relay 5 operates on any supervisory condition
Relay 6 operates on any trouble condition
Relays 7 & 8 operate on any alarm condition
Mode 3| Relay 1 operates on any supervisory condition
Relay 2 operates on any trouble condition
Relays 3 & 4 operate on any alarm condition
Relays 5-8 follow outputs 1-4 respectively
Notes: Relays programmed as a Trouble cannot be made to latch. Relays
programmed as supervisory will follow Main board Supervisory Relay without
regards to the Latch Switch position. Main board Supervisory Relay can be
programmed LATCHING/NONLATCHING in the custom program.
Programming
To disable all relays, move Disable switch to ON.
To make all relays latch, move Latch switch to ON.
For Mode 1 operation, move Mode 2 and Mode 3 switch to OFF.
For Mode 2 operation, move Mode 2 switch to ON.
For Mode 3 operation, move Mode 3 switch to ON.
Installation
To install the ARM-44, remove the main board of the PFC-4410RC by removing battery strain relief and two chassis screws. Lift out main board and set in safe place. The ARM-44 mounts on 4 standoffs on the back of the cabinet with screws provided.
The installer can install up to 4 annunciators or a relay module and 3 annunciators. The installer must set the rotary switch for the number device it is in line. For example, relay board address 1, annunciator address 2, if wired from panel to relay board then annunciator.
All field installed wiring connected to the panel and relay board must
maintain a spacing of at least ¼” between all electric light, power, class 1
or non-power limited fire protective signaling conductors.
2 separate cables are required for connection of the ARM-44 to the PFC-4410RC
motherboard.
A 2 conductor cable from the 24VNR terminals of the motherboard connects to
the 24VDC terminals of the ARM-44 to supply power.
A separate shielded cable connects from the RS-485 terminals of the
motherboard to the RS-485 terminals of the ARM-44.
Move the 120 ohm resistor from the RS-485 terminal of the PFC-4410 to the last
device.
