MPC-6000 / RDC-3 with releasing OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Alarm Operation
When an alarm occurs and the set threshold is satisfied on a releasing zone, the agent release timer is activated. The LCD
displays the timer as it counts down and the “Pre-Discharge” LED will be on. Proceed according to the established emergency
plan. Assure that all personnel are accounted for and notify the Fire Department to advise of the alarm and/or verify that an
automatic signal has been received at the Fire Department.
Authorized Personnel Only
Important Note: The RDC-3 Button Enable key switch must be in the ON position for the keypad to operate.
To abort the suppression release:
Press the Abort switch. Depending on the configuration of the panel, the pre-discharge timer will be halted or reset.
Proceed to clearing and acknowledging the alarm.
To initiate manual release:
Press the Manual Release switch. This will actuate the releasing zones and put the panel to discharge condition
regardless of the previous condition of the panel.
Note: Manual release and abort switches are installed external to the panel and are normally monitored by contact devices.
To acknowledge the alarm:
To acknowledge the alarm, press the Acknowledge button. The local buzzer will be silenced and the Alarm LED will
change from on-flashing to on-steady.
To silence the alarm:
To silence the notification appliances after evacuation, where permitted, press the Alarm Silence button. The
silenceable notification appliances will be silenced and LED indications will change from flashing to continuous. The
Alarm Silenced LED will be lit.
Note: Do not reset the panel until the alarm has been cleared.
Warning: Alarm silence inhibit (if set) prevents the alarm from being silenced for a predetermined time.
To reset panel after alarm:
When the alarm condition is corrected, return the panel to normal standby operation by pressing the System Reset button.
Note: If the fan restart feature is implemented, the Independent or Global Fan Restart procedure must be
initiated to deactivate the hold-thru reset output type (and activate the fans).
Trouble Operation
Trouble is indicated by:
Trouble LED flashes, LCD displays trouble conditions. Panel buzzer sounds (pulsing).
To acknowledge the trouble:
Press the Acknowledge button. The Trouble LED turns on-steady and the buzzer turns off. When the trouble
condition has been cleared, you may need to reset the panel to restore to a normal standby condition.
Warning: Leaving the panel in a trouble condition may prevent a fire alarm condition from initiating a fire
alarm sequence.
Event Scrolling
Viewing Events on the System:
Events are displayed in the system by event priority (Alarm, Supervisory, Trouble) followed by event occurrence
(oldest to latest event) in a circular list.
If there are multiple events on the system, pressing the upper right button adjacent to the LCD displays the next
event that occurred (to latest event of highest priority). Pressing the lower right button adjacent to the LCD displays
the previous event that occurred (to the oldest event with the lowest priority).
