1. Product Description
The Control Panel Section of the Self-Contained
T
OTAL
P
AC
2
unit is an add-on cabinet that is installed on the top of the trim
enclosure at the factory. This cabinet is fabricated of Gauge
14 steel, painted fire red with baked powder paint making it
rustproof, the same finish as the Trim Enclosure.
The Control Panel Section is provided with a locked stainless
steel door on the front giving access to the basic controls of
the Control Panel. Once opened, the cabinet door gives
access to the Contractor's Terminal Strip (refer to FIELD
WIRING DIAGRAM for additional details), the control panel
main board, emergency batteries and other related
equipment. Refer to Figures 1 and 2 for additional details.

Unit (with Viking PAR-3 Model
B-2 Control Panel)
The Viking PAR-3 Model B-2 Control Panel is a supervised,
24 Volt, microprocessor-controlled release control panel.
The panel is designed to operate the electric release
solenoid, in the release piping of deluge or preaction
systems. The panel is available for use with either 120VAC-
60Hz or 220VAC-50Hz power supplies. The battery
compartment can hold two 12 volt batteries which are
charged by an internal battery charger. Batteries are
available to provide up to 90 hours of backup power during
AC power failure.
The PAR-3 panel can be used with a wide range of
compatible initiating devices such as pull stations, heat
detectors (including linear heat detectors), photo-electric and
ionization smoke detectors.
A dip switch 'Function Selector' allows field programming for
one of four possible input/output combinations, of which only
two are available and Listed for use with the
T
OTAL
P
AC

System: Single Hazard Two Zone and Single Hazard
Crossed Zone.
Changing the position of the dip switch will cause the panel to
go on trouble condition.
Warning !
Only the two configurations above are
Listed/Approved with the
T
OTAL
P
AC
2
Unit. Changing the
position of the factory set dip switches may eliminate the
Fire Protection capabilities of the system and/or void
Listing/Approval and Warranty. Consult FireFlex Systems
before making any change !
In fire conditions when an initiating device circuit (or
predetermined combination of circuits) is energized, the panel
activates the release and signaling circuits according to the
'Function Selector' setting.
On the panel's display board, the appropriate Alarm, Trouble
and Supervisory LED's will flash until the event has been
acknowledged. After depressing the Tone or Alarm Silence
button, the LED will remain steadily illuminated until the panel
is reset.
