3.9 Alarm Module – Battery Operated (600096)
The Firetrace supplied alarm module is powered by a 9V cell (supplied), and requires a closed circuit to activate the alarm function. Firetrace
recommends using the pressure switch (400001, 400005 or 400441) to supply an open circuit whilst the system is armed and ready for use.
Upon detection of a fire, the pressure switch will change state during discharge to a closed circuit – which will cause the alarm module to sound.

3.10 Electric Solenoid Assembly (200107 400312 400324 600088)
The electric solenoid assembly is available as an optional part for the system detection network. The fitting attached to the electric solenoid allows
for the detection tubing to be easily installed into the electric solenoid assembly.
The electric solenoid assembly is used to release pressure from the detection tubing, resulting in actuation of the Firetrace FK-5-1-12 ILP Unit. Refer
to Figure 14 – Electric Solenoid Assembly, Table 17 – Electric Solenoid Assembly Part Number, Figure 15 – Electric Solenoid Assembly Wiring
Schematic, and Table 18 – Electric Solenoid Assembly Properties for additional information.
The electric solenoid is normally closed and requires electrical energy to remain open. The electric solenoid assembly is available in 12 VDC, 24
VDC, 120 VAC, and 240 VAC configurations.
The electric solenoid assembly shall be installed in accordance with NFPA 70 National Electric Code and NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm and
Signaling Code.
This device is only to be utilized when accepted by the authority having jurisdiction. All other uses of this electric solenoid assembly should
be approved by the authority having jurisdiction.
NOTE: All detection devices and auxiliary alarm and control devices must be electrically compatible with each other. They must be approved by the
authority having jurisdiction.
NOTE: Detection networks equipped with an electric solenoid assembly require the use of a solenoid connector cable.
NOTE: The solenoid assembly is not part of the FM Approval for Class B fire applications.
