Section 6: Central & Remote Station Fire
Installation Instructions
6.1 Introduction
The PC5020CF is a UL/ULC Listed panel for [1] Central &
Remote Station Fire Monitoring [2] Local & Central Sta-
tion Burglary Alarm Monitoring. When used for fire
monitoring, all fire functions must be configured to take
priority over Burglary and other auxiliary functions.
The PC5020CF has a number of system functions estab-
lished as default values. These functions must be main-
tained to ensure the Life-Safety integrity of the installation
meets all applicable codes and standards.
To ensure an appropriate installation, all applicable NFPA
and local codes and standards should be reviewed. The
local AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) should also be
consulted prior to installation to determine specific local
requirements for a fire alarm installation.
Information in this manual is intended to describe the fire
functionality of the equipment. Further information on
the overall system is contained in the companion manuals
for this product and must be consulted for a full under-
standing of operation, installation and programming.
This manual lists a number of alarm initiating and alarm
notification devices for use with this equipment.
