Potter’s PFC-5002 FireAlarm Control Panel is a microprocessor based unit designed for small commercial, residential, multi-family, institutional and industrial occupancies. Fully configurable using DIP switches, it enables the user to configure the system to meet their specific requirements.
The PFC-5002 comes standard with 2 Class B (Style B) Initiating Circuits which may be configured as 1 Class A (Style D) circuit. In addition it comes equipped with 2 Class A/B (Style Z/Y) Indicating circuits which are each rated at 1.7 Amps. the panel also includes a 2.75 Amp Power

Supply which powers the system and supplies a 4-wire resettable regulated smoke power supply of 24 VDC 100mA maximum.
The PFC-5002 utilizes a simple DIP switch configuration which allows for the programming of the initiating and indicating circuits as well as the enabling and disabling of system functions such as Signal Silence, Fire Drill and Auxiliary Disconnect. In addition the PFC-5002 allows for Alarm Verification on the Initiating circuits. The Indicating circuits may be configured as Silenceable or Non-Silenceable with the audibles configured for Steady, March- Time, Temporal Code, or California Code.

The cabinet is available in a red exterior only. A Fire Retardant Lexan Window in the door allows for viewing of the status LEDs.

Architects & Enitineering Specification

The fire alarm control panel shall be a two-zone fire panel UL listed to meet the requirements of UL Standard 864. The panel shall also have the CSFM listing and New York MEA approval. The panel shall utilize a microprocessor and be configurable via selectable dipswitches. The panel shall have two Class B initiating zones that may be configured as one Class A initiating zone. Also, the panel shall have two 24 VDC unfiltered Class A/B indicating zones that may be configured as selectable or nonsilencable. The audibles shall be capable of being configured as steady, march time, temporal or California Code.
The panel shall have common LED’s to indicate AC power on, common alarm, common supervisory, common trouble, battery trouble, ground fault, remote trouble and test. Switches shall be provided to disconnect each initiating zone individually. In addition, switches shall be provided for signal silence, fire drill, auxiliary disconnect, system reset, buzzer silence and lamp test. The panel shall have three sets of form C relays for common trouble, common supervisory and common alarm.
The panel shall be capable of supporting one DACT, Polarity Reversal/ City Tic Module or Relay Module. The cabinet shall be constructed of I8 gauge cold rolled steel and have a removable door. In addition, the door shall have a lock installed. Provisions shall be provided for a remote trouble indicator. In addition, the panel shall have resettable power for four wire smoke detectors.
