Installation
The RAPID RESPONSE Model RCP-
1 Residential Control Panel described
herein must be installed and maintained
in compliance with this document, as
well as with the applicable standards
of the National Fire Protection Associa-
tion, in addition to the requirements of
any other authorities having jurisdiction.
Failure to do so may impair the perfor-
mance of this device.
The Model RCP-1 Residential Control
Panel may be surface-mounted or re-
cessed-mounted with a separately or-
dered bezel. In either case the Model
RCP-1 Panel must be located in an area
not subject to freezing.
Field connections are as follows:
•
Water Supply Line
•
System Riser Line
•
Drain Line
•
Electrical
NOTICE
Do not attempt to reprogram the Model
RCP-1 Panel. If assistance is required,
contact Technical Services at Tyco Fire
Suppression & Building Products.
Electrical Field Wiring
The Electronic Control has been
shipped with resistors located across
all required contact points.
NOTICE
Remove resistors only when instruct-
ed to do so. Failure to do so may lead
to improper conditions or failure of
the Model RCP-1 Panel to function
properly.
The cover is electrically bonded to the
enclosure ground terminal by means of
an 18 AWG conductor. Do not remove
the electrical bond.
Do not place any wiring in contact with
CPVC pipe and fittings. Plasticizers,
such as those found in flexible wire in-
sulation, can damage the pipe and fit-
tings through contact resulting in dam-
age/failure to the system.
Wiring Notification Appliances
(Optional)
Notification appliances (horns) are op-
tional for waterflow alarms (that is, re-
lease of water into the system).
Adhere to the following guidelines when
wiring NAC1:
•
Remove the 10K, 1/2 W resistor from
the NAC1 terminals.
•
All wiring must be from 12 AWG
(maximum) to 18 AWG (minimum).
•
Conductors must test free of all
grounds.
•
Terminal designations “+” or “-” are
for alarm state.
•
Maximum alarm current is 1A, and
the maximum distance from the
Model RCP-1 Panel to the last de-
vice is as follows:
- 210 feet for 18 AWG wiring
- 334 feet for 16 AWG wiring
- 532 feet for 14 AWG wiring
- 845 feet for 12 AWG wiring.
•
Terminate circuit with a 10K, 1/2 W
end-of-line resistor (Figure 4).
Wiring Relay Connections (Op-
tional)
These connections provide optional
monitoring by a central control station
or for a remote signal on premise. Ad-
here to the following guidelines when
wiring relay modules:
•
All wiring must be from 12 AWG
(maximum) to 18 AWG (minimum).
•
Conductors must test free of all
grounds.
•
Relay circuits are rated for 2 A at 30
VDC, pilot duty (0.35 power factor).
•
Circuit is not supervised.
•
All relays are single pole, double
throw. Refer to Figure 5 to set select-
able jumpers for normally open or
normally closed jumpers.
•
Refer to Figure 6 for recommenda-
tion on wiring a remote signal on
premise. As shown, an alarm, super-
visory, or trouble signal will result in
activation of the remote signal.
Wiring AC Power and Batteries
Step 1.
Close the Main Control Valve
and open the Main Drain Valve.
Step 2.
Place the Air Compressor Dis-
connect switch in the OFF position.
Step 3.
Connect the batteries using the
provided harness per Figure 7. Leave
one of the connections unconnected as
shown until directed otherwise.
Step 4.
At the power supply junction
box, connect the Model RCP-1 Panel
to a dedicated branch circuit per all lo-
cal codes.
IDC1 will go into alarm. Silence the
alarm by pressing the SIGNAL SI-
LENCE KEY Accept the alarm condi-
tion by momentarily pressing the AC-
CEPT SIGNAL KEY.
System Trouble will be indicated for
lack of the battery connection. Accept
the trouble condition by momentarily
pressing the ACCEPT SIGNAL KEY.
A Supervisory Condition will be indicat-
ed due to the Main Control Valve being
closed. Acknowledge the supervisory
condition by momentarily pressing the
ACCEPT SIGNAL KEY.
Step 5.
Connect the remaining battery
connection.
The system may now be set for service.
