Actuation Circuits Operation
Two actuation circuits are each capable of actuating up to six Stat-X

aerosol generators
or similar devices on each of two separate zones. Power to discharge the actuators is
delivered from a bank of super capacitors. Upon Fire detection, the control panel
provides a signal to actuate from the fully charged supercapacitor bank. Discharge is
immediate with no capacitor charging delay. Actuators are best wired in series
Auxiliary Supervised Circuit Operation
An auxiliary normally open pair of contacts are available for use. This input is normally
closed and opens in alarm. Pressure switches, water alarms and door closures are
some examples of auxiliary supervised devices. A Fault condition occurs if the auxiliary
circuit changes from closed to open. If an open condition occurs, a Fault condition is
annunciated via the yellow Service System LED. The auxiliary function is programmed
to be OFF by default. Offline PC or SmartDevice programming may be used to change
the auxiliary contact setting to ON.
Abort Function Supervised Circuit Operation
An Abort function switch interrupts the automatic detection/automatic actuation process
if a discharge time delay is programmed. The Abort function contacts are supervised via
a 470K end-of-line resistor. If the Abort Switch closes, the abort function will delay the
system discharge if a discharge has been programmed. The Abort function is
programmed to be OFF by default. Offline PC programming may be used to change the
Abort function to ON.
Manual release input overrides the Abort function.
Warning!
The Abort function serves to delay the discharge process and will not prevent a
discharge once a fire has been automatically detected. The Abort function serves to
allow evacuation of personnel if present, when a fire alarm has been detected.
Input-Output (I/O) Relay Operation
Multiple sets of optically isolated relay contacts are available for use as inputs and
outputs and are intended for use in controlling external relays or other annunciation
devices.
A single set of dedicated relay contacts are provided to allow for remote supervision of
the Advantage
DC
by a remote fire alarm control panel (FACP). Dedicated FACP relay
contacts allow for an end-of-line resistor which can be monitored by a remote FACP.
NO-Fire and NC-Fault sets of contacts may be wired to a remote FACP. This allows the
remote FACP the ability monitor the status of the Advantage
DC
for both Fault and Fire
conditions.
Other I/O’s consist of (2) separate optically isolated outputs which may be used for pre-
alarm and alarm indication. Output transfer from is adjustable in five second increments
