The Releasing Control Panel is a flexible multi-hazard releasing control panel that is well suited for a number of applications. The control panel is listed for use with pre-action and deluge sprinkler suppression systems and agent based fire suppression systems.

The panel utilizes a microprocessor-based system that has 19 Standard Programs, which covers a majority of installations. The simple to follow Menu Structure programs the entire system in a matter of minutes. In addition to the Standard Programs, the panel allows custom programming to accommodate any installation.The panel is Ninth Edition UL listed, ULC listed, Factory Mutual, California State Fire Marshal (CSFM) and New York Materials Equipment Acceptance (MEA) approved.

This Releasing Control Panel is housed in a durable steel cabinet with removable door and key lock. The panel is available in either a red or white finish and an optional flush mount trim ring is available. The cabinet contains knockouts on the side, back and top of the cabinet to ease installation. In addition, the cabinet will house up to 18 amp-hour batteries that will provide in excess of 90 hours of standby power.

The Strobe/Horn Series provides a wide range of candela light output options in a single device. The candela settings include a 12 or 24 volt DC operation for the 15, 35 and 60 (75 on axis) candela settings and 24 volt DC operation for the 15, 35, 60, 75, 95 and 110 candela settings. The candela setting is displayed through the front window and is selectable using a drum wheel.

The horn settings include Temporal, Non-Temporal, March Time and a Chime sound. The horn also has Low, Mid and High volume settings for each pattern and tone. The tones include 2400 Hz, Electro-Mechanical, Broadband and Chime.

The voltage input can be either regulated DC or full wave rectified (FWR) 12 volt or 24 volt operation with an operating range from 8 to 33 V DC. The strobes can be synchronized using a control panel with the Potter (Amseco) sync protocol or a SMD10-3A sync module.

The Wall Mount Horn/Strobe utilizes a universal mounting plate that will mount on a single gang, double gang, octagon and 4” square electrical boxes. The strobe completely covers the mounting back plate, therefore it can be mounted before other trades work is completed and not affect the final look.

The Photoelectric Smoke Detectorcan be used in all areas where Photoelectric Smoke Detectors are required. The wide range smoke chamber makes this detector well suited for fires ranging from smoldering to flaming fires.

The photoelectric smoke detector utilizes two bi-colored LED’s for indication of status. In a normal standby condition the LED’s flash green every 3 seconds. When the detector senses that its sensitivity has drifted outside the UL listed sensitivity window the LED’s will flash red every 3 seconds. When the detector senses smoke and goes into alarm the status LED’s will latch on red.

The detector utilizes an infrared LED light source and silicon photo diode receiving element in the smoke chamber. In a normal standby condition, the receiving element receives no light from the pulsing LED light source. In the event of a fire, smoke enters the detector smoke chamber and light is reflected from the smoke particles to the receiving element. The light received is converted into an electronic signal.

Signals are processed and compared to a reference level, and when two consecutive signals exceeding the reference level are received within a specified period of time, the time delay circuit triggers the SCR switch to activate the alarm signal. The status LED’s light continuously during the alarm period.

The Ionization Smoke Detectorcan be used in all areas where Ionization Smoke Detectors are required. The responsive, yet highly stable operation allows the SD-I-24 to fit in a wide range of uses. This detector can be used in areas where early warning of superheated or flaming combustibles is expected.

The S\ionization smoke detector utilizes two bi-colored LED's for status indication purposes. In a normal standby condition the LED's flash green approximately once each second. When the detector senses smoke and goes into alarm the status LED's will latch on red.

A single radioactive source of Americium-241 ionizes two chambers within the detector, a reference chamber and the smoke sensing chamber. The air is ionized by this source and a small DC current flows between the electrodes of each chamber. Smoke can freely enter the sensing chamber, while the inner chamber is virtually sealed to smoke. Smoke entering the sensing chamber causes a reduction in the DC current flow, the voltage imbalance between the two chambers is proportional to the smoke density. When the voltage difference becomes great enough it causes the detector to go into alarm. The two chamber design is utilized to compensate for changes in atmospheric and environmental conditions.

The Pull Station Series offers a complete line of die-cast pull stations for a variety of applications focusing mainly on fire alarm systems. The pull stations are available in single or dual action models. All of the pull stations have a 10-amp snap action switch and a dedicated terminal block for the ease of wire connections. All of the metal is completely coated to inhibit corrosion and provide for a uniform and quality finish. The standard models have a hex key reset. The models are available with shallow and deep surface mount back boxes, as well as a weatherproof version that is rated for NEMA 4.

The Electronic Horn allows a number of applications on a single device. The horn settings include Temporal, Non-Temporal, March Time and a Chime sound. The horn also has Low, Mid and High volume settings for each pattern and tone. The tones include 2400 Hz, Electro-Mechanical, Broadband and Chime.

The voltage input can be either regulated DC or full wave rectified (FWR) 12 volt or 24 volt operation.

The horn utilizes a universal mounting plate that will mount on a single gang, double gang, octagon and 4” square electrical boxes. Outdoor installations must use either the BBK-1 4” square (weatherproof bell backbox) or the BBX-5 (weatherproof backbox). The back plate allows the installer to mount the plate and terminate the wire connections. The horn attaches in a hinge fashion from the top and is secured by a single mounting screw. The horn completely covers the mounting back plate, therefore it can be mounted before other trades work is completed and not affect the final look.

The device consists of a stainless steel faceplate and a modular switch assembly. It is designed to mount on a standard single gang electrical enclosure.

The Releasing Circuit Disable Switch complies with the requirements of NFPA 72, 2007, 6.12.5, 6.12.5.1, and 6.12.5.2.

• Specifying a physical switch to disconnect the release circuit in place of a software controlled disconnect
• Creating a supervisory condition on the associated release panel
