Battery Sets
The MPC-6000 / MPC-7000 / RND-2 control units are designed to use only rechargeable
sealed lead-acid batteries for back-up power. Attaching a close-coupled battery box, if
required, may allow use of battery sets beyond the physical capacity of the enclosure (12 AH
for the MPC-6000 and 18 AH for the MPC-7000). Maximum battery charging capacity for the
MPC-6000 is 38 AH. Maximum battery charging capacity for the MPC-7000 is 38 AH. Some of
the battery models are listed in the table below:

MPC-REL Releasing Module (MPC-6000 Only)
The MPC-REL Releasing module is an optional accessory for the MPC 6000 Fire Alarm
System Control Panel that allows the panel to control Sprinkler Systems (Pre-Action / Deluge),
Water Spray Systems and Clean Agent Fire Suppression Systems via approved solenoids
(NFPA 13, NFPA 750 and NFPA 2001). The MPC-REL provides two independent releasing
circuits with a capacity of 1.5 amps each. This module is controlled by the panel. All of the
operating parameters are programmed through the panel or the CIS-4 configuration tool. The
MPC-REL requires an MPC-6000 Electronics Package 2, see page 30, and an RPT-1
transformer that mounts above the NPE-1 transformer(s).
When an RPT-1 transformer is used, the optional NPE-1 transformer is not available.
The MPC-REL must not be installed in a networked system.
12603A (MPC-6000 / MPC-7000 / RND-2)
This is the basic NIB (Network Interface Board) card that is installed in the panel enclosure that
allows the panel to communicate in the MPC-NET2 network. It is connected to the serial port of
the main board (MPC6-MB, MPC6-MB2, MPC7-MB2). Refer to the MPC-NET2 Owner’s
Manual, P/N 315-049594, for more information.
12523A (MPC-6000 / MPC-7000 / RND-2)
The 12523A is a 12603A NIB (Network Interface Board) card installed in a 12411 surface box
enclosure that is installed external to the panel enclosure. It is connected to the serial port of
the main board (MPC6-MB, MPC6-MB2, MPC7-MB2). Refer to the MPC-NET2 Owner’s
Manual, P/N 315-049594, for more information.
