12 Hochiki HCVR-3 Releasing Fire Alarm Control Panel
The HCVR-3 is a conventional fire alarm control panel and releasing system. The panel provides connections
for initiating device circuits (zones), notification appliance circuits (NACs), releasing circuits, relays outputs,
and other circuits.
This manual provides general information about using the HCVR-3 fire alarm control panel with FirePro
Xtinguish. For additional details regarding installation, programming and operation of the HCVR-3, please see
the
HCVR-3 Installation and Operation Manual
, HA document # HA-06-294.
12.1 System Components
The HCVR-3 system is made up of several components:
a) The HCVR-3 Fire Alarm Control Panel – the main control panel where all devices terminate, including
initiating devices, notification appliances and the releasing circuit. The panel also has a manual release
switch which may be used to activate the condensed aerosol generators.
b) Initiating Devices – typically smoke detectors connected to the zones on the HCVR-3 panel. The
HCVR-3 employs a “cross-zone” operation so that at least two zones must be in alarm before the
releasing sequence begins. This reduces the possibility of unwanted activation of the aerosol
generators.
c) Notification Appliances – these circuits are provided to notify building occupants of fire alarm events
and to indicate the status of the release process. Pre-release notification informs building occupants
to leave the protected area immediately, while post-release notification warns to stay out of an area
where the extinguishing agent has been discharged.
d) The HCVR-SQA Sequential Activator Module – this module is used to activate FirePro Xtinguish
aerosol generators (g). Up to 20 HCVR-SQA modules may be used, with up to two (2) aerosol
generators connected to each HCVR-SQA.
e) HCVR-AS Abort Switch (optional, as required) – the HCVR-AS Abort Switch may be used to stop the
pre-release countdown when it gets to 10 seconds. As long as the button is depressed the countdown
timer will remain at 10 seconds, preventing the discharge of the aerosol generator(s). This button may
only be operated one time during a countdown sequence; if it is released, the countdown will resume
at 10 seconds. See the HCVR-3 manual for more details.
f) Disconnect Switch – this switch is used to electrically disconnect the aerosol generators from the
HCVR-3 fire alarm control panel for testing and maintenance purposes.
g) The Extinguishing Generator(s) – one or more FirePro Xtinguish condensed aerosol generators used
to extinguish a developing fire.
h) Other Options – these include the HCVR-SDU Status Display Unit and the HCVR-AB Ancillary Board.
See the HCVR-3 manual for more details.
