The PFC-6075R is a versatile seventy-five (75) point analog/addressable releasing fire alarm control panel that utilizes the Potter/Nohmi device protocol that has a complete line of initiating and control devices. The SLC is capable of 50 ohms of resistance and does not require the use of twisted or shielded wire. The signaling line circuit may be any combination of smoke sensors, heat de-tectors or modules. The PFC-6075R will operate with a small Pre-Action water based system or a complex multiple criteria agent suppression system.
-
The panel is specifically designed for releasing service with software zones for cross zoning, counting zones, timers and system release abort features. The display includes Pre-Discharge and Discharge LEDs to assist in providing system and releasing status. The releasing and additional releasing notification circuits may be expanded using the PSN-1000 intelligent power supply.
-
The complete system may be converted to Class A with a CA-6075 module. The CA-6075 provides the hardware necessary to convert the remote annunciators through the Potter P-Link connection protocol, the NACs and the SLC to Class A operation.
-
The panel has auto-programming learn mode that will not affect the existing system when adding or deleting a device. The system is capable of 99 software zones, cross zoning and counting zones. The panel is fully programmed from a PC based software pro-gram that will work with Microsoft XP, Vista or Windows 7.0 operating systems.
The PFC-6075 has an Ethernet connection for programming network connectivity and IP reporting communicator. The system has a built in e-mail function and will send system E-mail reminders based on user defined dates. The IP communicator is listed with the Sur-Gard III IP receiver. -
The panel will support P-Link devices which include: the RA-6075R, RA-6500R and LED-16 Annunciators, RLY 5 Relay Module, SPG-1000 Serial Parallel Gateway (printer card), FCB-1000 Remote Ethernet/IP connection, DRV-50 LED driver for 50 LEDs, PSN-1000 Remote Power Supplies (10 Amp) and FIB-1000 P-Link Fiber Interface Module. In addition, the panel allows for the installation of the UD-1000 dual line telephone line digital alarm communicator transmitter (DACT). The UD-1000 is programmable for a single line or dual line and is compatible with Ademco’s Contact ID or SIA DCS protocols.
SLC Loop Accessories
The control panel may be connected with up to seventy-five (75) addressable devices or modules in any combination. The SLC is not restricted by any special wire requirements and may be wired with any wire that complies with the NEC.

Engineering Specification
The special hazard panel shall be a Potter PFC-6075R addressable releasing
control panel. The panel shall have seventy-five (75) addressable points and
have four (4) programmable outputs. The addressable points shall be made up of
any combination of detectors, sensors, modules or relays with no limitation of
type or number. The outputs shall consist of two (2) dedicated outputs rated
at 3 amps each and two input/output (I/O) circuits. The I/O circuits, when
programmed as input, shall be used for manual release, abort, or other dry
contact type of inputs. When programmed as an output, each output shall be
rated for a maximum of 1 amp. The panel shall have a RS-485 (P-Link) buss
capable of supporting annunciators, intelligent power supplies, relay modules,
LED driver modules, serial modules, and other modules as called out in the
installation literature. The intelligent power supplies may be used as
additional signal circuits or additional listed releasing outputs.
The panel and power supplies shall be compatible with common sprinkler
solenoids and agent releasing actuators as outlined in the installation
materials. The panel shall be capable of cross zoning, counting zones, and
providing abort of output activation. The panel shall have timers for manual
release delay and automatic time delay.
The display shall be plainly viewable through the window and include pre-
release and release LEDs in addition to the typical fire alarm LEDs. The
annunciator shall be an RA-6075R and/or an RA-6500R releasing annunciator that
