4.3.6 Relays
The relays, located on the main processor card, interface to the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP)to
communicate faults, alarms and disabled states. The relays can be programmed using Xtralis VSC. Relays 3
and 6 are permanently set for Urgent Fault and Fire 1 respectively. Table4-22 below illustrates the default
assignments of functions (conditions) to relays and summarizes the default behavior of each relay. Section
5.5.12 describes how to configure the relay behavior using Xtralis VSC. It is possible to assign more than one
condition to a relay.
Fire 1 Relay
If a detector relay is to be used to signal fire alarm to the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) then the Fire 1 relay
must be used.
Urgent Fault and Fire 1 Relay Terminals
The Urgent Fault relay is energized during normal operation while the Fire 1 relay is only energized when a Fire
1 is detected. The operation of these two relays is summarized in the following table.

Relay Assignments and Behaviour
l Relays 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 are fully configurable.
l Relays 3 and 6 are fixed to Urgent Fault and Fire 1 respectively. These relays may be assigned additional
