Description

The PFC-7500 series ﬁre alarm communicators provide reliable and efﬁcient monitoring of sprinkler systems where ﬁre alarm panels are not required. The PFC-7500 series has ﬁve input circuits, four Class B circuits and one Class A (Style D) circuit (waterﬂow zone). The PFC-7500 is a slave communicator that can be either connected for sprinkler system monitoring or as a slave communicator to an existing ﬁre alarm panel. The panel comes standard with a Trouble Annunciator that mounts directly in the door of the panel. The panel must be powered with either a WLT transformer and back-up battery a 12VDC or 24VDC from a ﬁre alarm panel with battery backup. The PFC-7501 is a complete ﬁre alarm control panel with ﬁve input circuits and a 1.5 amp notiﬁcation circuit. In addition, a total of 500-mA auxiliary power is provided. The panel provides a non supervised 12 VDC notiﬁcation circuit. An optional module is available for a supervised notiﬁcation circuit Class A/B (Style Z/Y). The PFC-7501 comes standard with the WLT wire in 16.5 VAC transformer. Either of the PFC-7500 series panels can be connected to a LCD or LED annunciator. The panels can be programmed using either a LCD annunciator or a computer and programming cable. In addition, the panels are remote programmable through Potter Link software. The PFC-7501 Alarm Communicator Kit is a PFC-7501 panel, a WLT 16.5 VAC transformer and a RA-7690 annunciator. The RA-7690 LCD annunciator is both a programmer and annunciator.

Engineering Speciﬁcations

The contractor shall furnish and install the Potter PFC-7500 series ﬁre alarm communicator. The PFC-7500 shall be used as slave digital communicator for a ﬁre alarm control panel or as a sprinkler-monitoring panel. The PFC-7500 shall have one Class A (Style D) waterﬂow zone and four programmable Class B initiating zones. In addition, the PFC-7500 shall have a Trouble Annunciator Module to indicate a Green LED for a normal system, a Yellow LED for trouble and a silence switch. A buzzer shall also annunciate a trouble condition. The PFC-7501 is listed as a ﬁre alarm control panel and meets the requirements of UL 864. Similar to the PFC-7500 the system shall have one Class A (Style D) waterﬂow zone and four programmable Class B initiating zones. In addition, The PFC-7501 shall have a 1.5 amp notiﬁcation output as well as a 100mA smoke detector output. Either panel shall be capable of being powered from a 16.5 VAC wire-in transformer or powered from a 12/24 VDC ﬁre alarm control panel. The panel shall have an internal silence/reset switch. This switch shall silence the bell circuit and temporarily remove power from the auxiliary power (PFC-7501 only) and reset all latched devices on the input circuits. In addition, the panels shall communicate using Contact ID, Ademco 4-2 or DMP SDLC. The panel shall provide two RJ connectors for connecting to telephone lines. The panels shall support either LCD or LED annunciators. The panel shall supervise up to four (4) of the RA-7690 LCD annunciators. The panel shall be programmed either through the RA-7690 or through a computer program. The panel shall support two optional form C relays.
