residential dry pipe sprinkler systems. 
The Model RCP-1 Panel is intended for 

use in one- and two- family dwellings 

and mobile homes per NFPA 13D when 

used with residential sprinklers that 

have been listed for use in residential 

dry pipe sprinkler systems. 
The Model RCP-1 Panel incorporates

Warning Unit Subassembly installed 

within the Model RCP-1 cabinet.
The Model RCP-1 Panel includes the 

following features:

• 

Pre-wired assembly containing pre-

programmed control panel, system 

performance gauges, and an en-

closed compressor 

• 

Pre-engineered riser design 

• 

Supervised system valve system

• 

Provision to trip test system without 

having water flow into the system. 

• 

High pressure supervision for indica-

tion of a false trip or failure of the au-

tomatic air supply cut-out switch

• 

Dry contacts for remote connection
