Intelligent Suppression Control/Fire Alarm System
PEGAsys
APPENDIX C
RELEASING APPLICATIONS
The PEGAsys system can be used for agent release,
pre-action, sprinkler and deluge sprinkler control applications.
When used with UL listed, compatible actuating and initiating
devices, the PEGAsys system meets the requirements of the
following standards:
NFPA 12 CO
2
Extinguishing Systems (High Pressure)
NFPA 12A HALON 1301 Extinguishing Systems
NFPA 13 Sprinkler Systems
NFPA 15 Water Spray Systems
NFPA 16 Foam-Water Deluge and Foam-Water Spray
Systems
NFPA 17 Dry-Chemical Extinguishing Systems
NFPA 17A Wet-Chemical Extinguishing Systems
NFPA 2001 Clean-Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems
C-1 PROGRAMMING
The PEGAsys system can support up to nine independently
controlled releasing outputs (AR1 - AR8 and MP1), which are
used to control releasing functions. AR1 - AR8 are the agent
release I/O modules, which are inserted into the I/O motherboard
and MP1 is the CCM releasing output, which is optionally pro-
grammable to be a signal release output. The PCS program is
used to program the system for all functions including the re-
Table C-1. Abort Styles
NOTE: The abort function will not work if a time delay value is not entered in the EOC programming for the hazard. Maximum
allowable delay is 60 seconds as allowed by UL864. The abort input is not intended to be used for a service disconnect.

The following features are supported for releasing functions,
with which the system will be compatible.
C-2 ABORT
The abort function is a feature which manually stops a discharge
time delay. The PEGAsys supports four styles of aborts, as listed
in Table C-1.
C-3 DELAY
The time delay period is an installer programmable value which
begins to count down after alarm activation of an initiating
device(s) which is protecting the protected area and mapped to
the agent-release output. The time delay can be programmed
for activation after one or two alarm occurrences.
C-4 SOAK
The soak function is used to automatically shut off the releas-
ing solenoid at a predetermined time after the mapped inputs
activate them. It may be programmed as a 10 minute or 15 minute
soak period. This soak function is for use in NFPA 16 applica-
tions only.
