Power Input Circuits
Power to the control panel is provided by a 24 VDC output power supply as primary
power. A secondary/backup power source is supplied by a 9 vdc rechargeable NiMH
battery located inside of the control panel. Both power sources are supervised.
Expected operating life of the 9 vdc battery under normal operating conditions is one
year assuming no extended power failure conditions have occurred. After a two-year
period, the backup battery must be replaced. Expected shelf life for the 9 vdc battery is
1 year. Ensure the battery is recharged prior to replacement. A date code label
provided is used to indicate the installation and expiration of the battery. This label is
installed and updated at the time of system commissioning and during any battery
maintenance.
If primary power is lost, a Fault condition is displayed after a 20 second delay. Power is
automatically transferred to the backup battery. No operator intervention is required.
The Power Fault LED will turn ON, pulse the local audible buzzer and will transfer a
Fault relay if programmed. The Advantage
DC
will continue to provide fire detection and
suppression while operating on the secondary battery for a minimum of 24-hours after
the loss of 24 vdc primary power.
Initiating (Detection) Circuits Operation
Default detection settings are programmed such that any detection input will actuate all
actuation outputs. Additional detection/actuation mapping options are available via PC
or Bluetooth based configuration menus. Options for cross-zoning, individual detection
to actuation and the ability to disable individual detection and actuation zones are
available. See section 7.0 for offline PC or SmartDevice programming information.
Two automatic detection circuits and a single dedicated manual release circuit are
classified as Class B Style 4 with a 470K end-of-line device providing circuit supervisory
resistance. A fault condition occurs if the circuit resistance drop in resistance or
increases in resistance. A Fire condition is indicated when contact closure in a
detection circuit drops in resistance to a predetermined fire detection level.
Any normally open fire detecting device (linear thermal wire, spot thermal sensors,
separately powered relay base smoke detectors, etc.) may be used when terminated
with a 470K end-of-line device provided with the control panel. Refer to individual
sensor manufacturer instruction for installation, operation, and maintenance of the
sensor. While the contacts of a smoke detector may be monitored by one of the Class B
detection zones, secondary power source must be provided for separately powered
relay base smoke detectors.
