PFC-3002T Installation and Operation Manual Introduction The PFC-3002T is a supervised two-zone 24VDC Fire Alarm Control Panel. The panel provides the following features: • Two Class B detection zones • One Class B signal zone, 1.7A • DIP switch selectable signal circuit outputs such as temporal or steady • Alarm and trouble relay contacts • Remote trouble and A.C.
Wiring DIP switch DSW1 is used to set the preferred signal zone 1 output, the signal silence inhibit, and the common trouble flash rate. The default output for the signal zone is temporal code. not used ON DIP switch DSW1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Signal Zone Trouble Buzzer and LED ON - steady OFF - temporal code (default) ON - steady buzzer and LED OFF - Pulsing Buzzer and LED (default) ON - 1 minute signal silence inhibit OFF - normal signal silence (default) • Temporal Code: 3 rounds of 0.
PFC-3002T Installation and Operation Manual Remote Annunciation Annunciation outputs are provided for remote trouble indicator and buzzer. Refer to Figure 6 on page 9 for wiring instruction. A.C. Power and Batteries The A.C. power is connected to the terminal block above the transformer. Use Gel Cell or Sealed Lead-Acid type of batteries only. Connect the batteries after power up. Use 24V 4AH batteries for 24 hours standby and 5 or 30 minutes of alarm.
Sequence of Operation Sequence of Operation Refer to Figure 2 on page 6 for the location of indicators and controls. Normal All indicators are normally OFF except for the green A.C. On LED. Alarm A red zone alarm LED will illuminate steadily for an incoming alarm. Signal Silence If the 60 second signal silence inhibit is selected, the signal cannot be silenced for 60 seconds after an alarm initiation.
