Description
The ARM -4/8 Auxiliary Relay Module provides either 4 or 8 relays to any of
the PFC-5000 series panels. The relays are configured to the initiating zones
of the panel as either a common alarm or common supervisory. In addition, the
relay can be configured to a respective zone (Zone 1 to Relay 1, Zone 2 to
Relay 2, etc.). Blocks of relays can also be configured to one initiating zone
as well. Each relay is a low voltage relay rated at 2.0 amps and 30 VDC.
Wiring Schematic
Engineering Specifications
The contractor shall furnish and install the ARM-4 or ARM-8 into the Potter
PFC-5000 series fire alarm control panel when indicated on the plans for
auxiliary relays. The relays shall be capable of 2.0 amps at 30 VDC and shall
be configurable using jumpers. The ARM shall directly connect to the fire
alarm control panel through a ribbon cable and the relay board must directly
connect to the interior of the fire alarm control panel cabinet.
4 or 8 Form C Relays (4 relay shown)
ARM-4/8 Directly connects to main
board of fire alarm control panel via ribbon cable. The JW3 jumper is removed
from the main board and a system reset is performed for the panel to recognize
the ARM card. The jumpers on the ARM card control how the relays operate.
Inserting JW# on the ARM card will configure each relay to the respected
Initiating Zones.
The jumper JW#A configures the relay to either alarm or supervisory. The JW
.# will configure the relays adjacent to each other to operate together. The
JW# jumper is removed and installed on the JW #.# to have the relays operate together as a block.
