capacity is required to increase, two batteries will be connected in parallel, use the
supplied lead to interconnect the two batteries
as shown in Figure 7 above.
3.8.4
Panic Input
This input allows for manual activation of the Residential Fire Alarm System. On
operating this input, all Smoke / Heat Alarms and ancillary equipment will be
activated. Activation is via a normally open dry contact, such as a manual call point
or panic button. These should be mounted adjacent to the panel.
3.8.5
Common Alarm Outputs
The RFP6 has a 12-volt dc output (maximum 1 Amp) and a set of Changeover Dry
Contacts. Any zone facility entering an alarm condition will activate these outputs. In
supplying both Voltage and Voltage free contacts, the user has the design flexibility
to control any ancillary function required.
e.g. the 12-volt output can be used to operate an external audio/visual warning
device. The Changeover Dry Contacts could be used to control a magnetic door
holder power supply or to signal a Remote Monitoring Station. In this way your
residential fire system can be monitored on a 24-hour, 7-day basis.
3.8.6
Alarm Confirmation Period (Selectable)
The RFP common alarm outputs can be delayed to avoid nuisance alarms. Three
options are available:
•
No delay (standard),
•
30 second delay or
•
60 second delay.
Time delay is selected by a 4-way DIP switch mounted on the back of the main board
SUB350, refer to Figure 15 page 40. This provides a means of delay to enable the
occupant to remove a known false alarm, i.e. burnt toast, before a remote warning
is given.
3.8.7
Defect Mode Output
The Defect (fault) Mode Output responds to a fault in the system such as loss of
power, zone fault (short or open circuit), activation of the ancillary isolate switch or
panel switched off. The defect mode provides a set of changeover relay contacts
which can be used for either local and / or remote monitoring of a system fault.
3.9
Options
3.9.1
Mimic Panel (Optional)
An Individual Smoke / Heat Alarm indication via Mimic Panel is available for when
the exact location of the actuated Smoke / Heat Alarm is required. The mimic panel
is available with either 24, 48, or 72 mimic indicators (custom built). The Remote
Indication output on each Smoke / Heat Alarm is wired back to the mimic panel using
two wires. To minimise field wiring, RIL (0V) only can be wired to the RFP and the
+12V can be common in the panel.
3.9.2
Zone Output Facility (Optional)
An optional card which allows for separate zone outputs is available when ancillary
devices are required to operate on an activated zones basis only. Two sets of voltage
free contacts are supplied for each zone which can be used to control equipment

New termination board SUB357B PCB134 Rev 3 allows for terminals to terminate two batteries.
