NOTIFIER RP-2002C Agent Release Control Panel Owner’s Manual

General

General
The RP-2002C is a six-zone FACP for single and dual hazard agent releasing applications. The RP-2002C provides reliable fire detection, signaling and protection for commercial, industrial and institutional buildings requiring agent-based releasing. The RP-2002C is compatible with System Sensor’s i3 detectors which are conventional smoke detectors that can transmit a maintenance trouble signal to the FACP indicating the need for cleaning and a supervisory ‘freeze’ signal when the ambient temperature falls below the detector rating of approximately 45°F (7.22°C). In addition, the control panel is compatible with conventional input devices such as two-wire smoke detectors, four-wire smoke detectors, pull stations, waterflow devices, tamper switches and other normally-open contact devices. Refer to the Notifier Device Compatibility Document for a complete listing of compatible devices. Four outputs are programmable as NACs (Notification Appliance Circuits) or releasing circuits. Three programmable

Form-C relays (factory programmed for Alarm, Trouble and Supervisory) and 24 VDC special application resettable and non-resettable power outputs are also included on the main circuit board. The RP-2002C supervises all wiring, AC voltage, battery charger and battery level.

Activation of a compatible smoke detector or any normallyopen fire alarm initiating device will activate audible and visual signaling devices, illuminate an indicator, display alarm information on the panel’s LCD, sound the piezo sounder at the FACP, activate the FACP alarm relay and operate an optional module used to notify a remote station or initiate an auxiliary control function.
