Connect the long RED lead to the positive terminal of one battery, and the long black lead to the negative terminal of the
other.
Place batteries inside the battery compartment of the Par-3 Release Control Panel with the unused terminals toward the open
door. Install batteries in the upright position only.
Plug the plug-in connector to J9 on the main board of the panel. (Refer to Figure 2 and VIKING FIELD WIRING DIAGRAMS.)
DO NOT install jumper at this time.
To energize the panel and place the system in service:
Energize the AC power supply to the panel. The Piezo will sound, and the “System Trouble” and “Power Trouble” LEDs will
flash.
Use the jumper (short) wire to connect the unused negative terminal of one battery with the unused positive terminal of the other
battery. The Piezo should silence, and the “System Trouble” and “Power Trouble” LEDs should stop flashing.
Perform appropriate tests to verify proper operation of the system.
After placing the system in service, close and lock the panel to prevent tampering with the unit.
When installing optional cards, modules, inter-connecting cables, or other associated equipment, refer to MAINTENANCE, technical
data for the optional equipment, and Owner’s Manual provided with the panel.
6. INSPECTIONS, TESTS AND MAINTENANCE
NOTICE: THE OWNER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM AND DEVICES IN PROPER OPERAT-
ING CONDITION. THE VIKING MODEL B-1 PAR-3 RELEASE CONTROL PANEL MUST BE KEPT FREE OF FOREIGN MATTER AND
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS THAT COULD IMPAIR ITS OPERATION.
For minimum maintenance and inspection requirements, refer to NFPA 25. In addition, the Authority Having Jurisdiction may have ad-
ditional maintenance, testing, and inspection requirements that must be followed.
WARNING: ANY SYSTEM MAINTENANCE THAT REQUIRES PLACING A CONTROL VALVE OR DETECTION SYSTEM OUT OF SERVICE
MAY ELIMINATE THE FIRE PROTECTION CAPABILITIES OF THAT SYSTEM. PRIOR TO PROCEEDING, NOTIFY ALL AUTHORITIES
HAVING JURISDICTION. CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO EMPLOYMENT OF A FIRE PATROL IN THE AFFECTED AREAS.
I. Tests
A. Prior to proceeding with tests:
Verify that installation complies with instructions in the Owner’s Manual provided with the panel and the appropriate VIKING
FIELD WIRING DIAGRAMS for the system used.
Notify the Authority Having Jurisdiction and all those in the area affected by the test.
B. Alarm Activate Switch
To test alarm bell, waterfl ow bell circuits and alarm, detection, and waterfl ow relays:
Push “Alarm Activate” (See Figure 1). Note: “Alarm Activate” is a latching function. “Alarm Silence” will silence indicating circuits
and System Alarm Relay and light the Alarm Silenced LED.
When test is complete, push “System Reset”. Conditions should return to normal.
C. Waterflow
To test waterfl ow alarm on Viking pre-action and Viking deluge systems, consult technical literature for the system used:
Turn the Alarm Test Valve to “Test” position. See Table 2 for output circuits and relays that should activate for the system used.
“Waterflow” circuits are latching.
When test is complete return the Alarm Test Valve to the normal position and push “System Reset”. Conditions should return to
normal.
C. Detection
To test detection circuits:
Close main water supply control valve, placing the system out of service.
CAUTION! FOR DELUGE AND SINGLE OR NON-INTERLOCKED PREACTION SYSTEMS, PERFORMING THIS TEST RESULTS IN
OPERATION OF THE DELUGE VALVE. FAILURE TO CLOSE THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY CONTROL VALVE WILL CAUSE WATER TO
FLOW INTO THE SPRINKLER PIPING.
CAUTION! FOR DOUBLE-INTERLOCKED SYSTEMS, SIMULTANEOUS OPERATION OF A DETECTOR AND LOWERING OF SUPER-
VISORY PRESSURE IN THE SPRINKLER PIPING WILL RESULT IN OPERATION OF THE DELUGE VALVE. FAILURE TO CLOSE THE
MAIN WATER SUPPLY CONTROL VALVE WILL CAUSE WATER TO FLOW INTO THE SPRINKLER PIPING.
