FPC-1 FIRE DETECTION AND EXTINGUISHANT CONTROLLER
1
Introduction
The FPC-1 is a self-contained aerosol activation module.
The FPC-1 includes a heat sensor that operates as a fixed-temperature or Rate-of-Rise
and fixed-temperature detector, input for optional manual activation switch and/or linear
heat detector, control circuitry, and activation of two FirePro Aerosol units.
The unit reports via open collector alarm condition, trouble condition, and provides
"watch-dog" pulses to indicate the unit is alive.
The module is operated by its own supervised power source.
The FPC-1 is not intended to replace fire detection and automatic extinguishing systems
that are required according to relevant regulations.
An open or disconnected aerosol generator will not interfere with the operation of the
other aerosol.
