Description
The PFC-6075 is a versatile seventy-five (75) point analog/addressable fire
alarm control panel that utilizes the Potter/Nohemi 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
detectors or modules.
The PFC-6075 has a metal cabinet with a key lock and a dead front standard.
The cabinet will house 8 Ah or 18 Ah batteries. The large viewing window
allows easy viewing of the LCD and the standard LEDs. The keypad allows easy
operation and navigation of the system menu.
The panel has a 5 amp power supply with two (2) notification circuits each
rated at 3 amps and two (2) Input/output (I/O) circuits each rated at 1 amp.
All of the outputs are power limited, power regulated and may be programmed
for Potter/AMSECO, Gentex®, Cooper Wheelock® and System Sensor® strobe
synchronization. The outputs may be configured for any combination of strobe
brands and all will sync. The outputs also may be configured for door holder
power, auxiliary power and constant power.
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 program 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 uses a simple patch cable for
connecting a PC to the panel. In addition, the system may be connected to a
building network and programmed while on the network. The system has a built
in e-mail function and will send system E-mail reminders. The IP communicator
is listed with the Sur-Gard III IP receiver.
The panel will support P-Link devices which include: the RA-6075, RA-6500 and
LED-16 Annunciators, RLY 5 Relay Module, SPG-1000 Serial Parallel Gateway
(printer card), FCB-1000 Remote Ethernet/IP connection (only 1), 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 Adecco’s Contact ID or SIA DCS
protocols. The UDACT will report general, zone, or point
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.
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.
