Relay outputs
Status outputs from the system are established by relay contacts.
Relay contacts are rated to 2 A at 28 Vdc. This supports connection to most alarm panels, building
control systems and direct connection to DIN rail mounted relays for supplementary shut-down etc.
Table 5 Fault and Alarm relays
All relays are dual pole, dual throw, thus providing the installer with a flexible range of options for a
wide variety of applications. All outputs are duplicated, and isolated, and can be configured either
as NO or NC. The output channels for the Pre-Alarm and Alarm relays are offered as both a
changeover contact (Side A) and a Normally Open contact (Side B). The output channel for the Fault
relay is offered as both a changeover contact (Side A) and a Normally Closed contact (Side B). The
Side B contacts will be sufficient for most typical installations.
For example, the Side B contacts would typically be connected to the fire panel to indicate a fire
status. The Changeover contacts on Side A may be connected to a separate building management
system without any connectivity issues.
Wired Inputs
The following wired inputs are made available to the installer in this product:
- Power Cable to connect to mains power (100-240 VAC)
- Manual Activation Button to allow connection of a MAB to generate an Alarm and
subsequent gas release when the operator activates the MAB
- Door switch to allow connection of a door switch (to signal an opened cabinet door and to
inhibit gas release when the door of the cabinet is open) or a manual override switch (to
inhibit gas release when this switch is activated by an operator)
- Two RS485 bus interfaces to allow connection to other EXXFIRE®
750CNF/1500CNF/2250CNF systems; a maximum of 8 systems can be connected in a
daisy-chain configuration.
