Manual Table 4, the design process is an iterative one. A tentative design is conceived and then evaluated in terms of both the pavement luminance criteria and the STV. If the design, in terms of either criteria, is deficient then all or part of the design must be modified to correct the deficiencies. STV and average pavement luminances are minimums and both must be met or exceeded; exceeding one set of criteria does not permit reduction of the other. Pavement luminance uniformity should not be exceeded. If the design exceeds both the visibility and the pavement luminance criteria then the design may be modified (to reduce costs), or accepted depending on the judgment of the designer as to energy usage, aesthetics or other relevant consideration. The criteria values F6 The Iterative Design Procedure The use of computer programs to quickly evaluate a tentative design makes the use of the iterative design procedure simple. Under this procedure the initial tentative desi

An RJ31X jack can be installed to provide the connection to the telephone lines.) Figure 27. 3-26 . The UD-1000 DACT communicates using the SIA-DCS or Ademco Contact ID protocols. it is designed to be mounted on a flat non-condensing surface or electrical box. a patch cable between the RJ31X jack and the built in RJ-11 jacks on the UD-1000 provide a convenient connection method.PFC-6030 • 5403595 • Rev a-2 • 10/11 Installing Remote Annunciators The RA-6075 Remote Annunciator provides the same display and control capabilities as the main control panel’s built in display. Once the communication is complete. In order for the DACT to work properly. it must be installed on a plain old telephone service (POTS) or equivalent as deemed by the authority having jurisdiction. The address must be set in the range of one to thirty-one to be recognized by the panel. The UD-1000 Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter provides connections for two (2) phone lines for communication to a monitoring station. Address Settings The RA-6075 address is set by dip switch S1 located on the back of the annunciator. The UD-1000 automatically monitors each phone line for voltage and has the ability to seize the line and connect with a remote receiver. The UD-1000 must be installed prior to any other telephone equipment in the building to ensure proper operation. The DACT must be installed before any other equipment to ensure it can seize the line and disconnect any other lines. the DACT will hang up the phone line. Only the RA-6075 Remote Annunciator should be used on the PFC-6030 FACP to ensure that the display operation works correctly. (Refer to chart on the previous page for P-Link DIP switch programming. Only one UD-1000 is allowed per main control panel. The DACT is provided with an RJ-11 jack for each phone line.

Additionally. and the buzzer will be activated. the amber TROUBLE LED will illuminate and the local buzzer will sound until the fault is removed or the ACK button is pressed acknowledging the trouble condition. The LCD display will indicate the number of supervisory events that are active. the amber EARTH FAULT LED will illuminate and the LCD display will provide further information of where the fault is located. the notification circuits (strobes and horns) can be shut off by pushing the SILENCE button. once the device is restored to the normal condition. 5403596 for the proper rating. If the Supervisory condition is non-latching. During Positive Alarm Sequence operation the “ACK” key must be pressed within 15 seconds of the alarm initiation to activate the investigation timer. or until the Silence key is pressed. 6030 Normal Standby Acknowledging The green AC POWER LED will be illuminated and the user defined message on the LCD will be displayed. Releasing and reactivating the Abort will set the timer to 10 seconds. Additionally. the amber SUPERVISORY LED will illuminate and the buzzer will sound. the system may be reset to the Normal Standby by pressing the RESET button. The amber Pre-Release LED will illuminate when the system is in a count down timer for an agent release. contact: Name: Company: Frame and display instructions adjacent to the fire alarm panel. Testing and Maintenance Chapter(s) and any local requirements. Contact the agency below for service or operational questions. the supervisory event will clear. Batteries should be checked with a tester acceptable to the AHJ such as a Stone Technologies model STC612A or equivalent. 5403596. When a supervisory condition is detected. the device that was activated must be restored and the RESET pressed. pushing the Abort will allow the timer to countdown until 10 seconds and then halt. Test the circuits as outlined in the Installation Manual. 6075. release events will be displayed on the LCD. Off normal events are acknowledged by pressing the ACK key while reviewing events. the buzzer will resound. For ULI installations. Test this system monthly or more frequently as required by the AHJ. In case of a fuse replacement. The local buzzer will sound until all supervisory events have been acknowledged. If the buzzer is acknowledged and the fault is not removed within 24 hours. activate the releasing disconnect switch to prevent accidental discharge of a suppression system. The buzzer will remain active until all alarms have been acknowledged. refer to the Installation Manual. The red ALARM LED will be illuminated anytime an alarm is occurring in the system.

The red Release LED will illuminate when a release condition is active. Before conducting any testing contact the building personnel and the monitoring facility as applicable. the release may be aborted by pressing the abort switch. For service. the buzzer will deactivate and the associated LED will stop flashing and remain on continuously. After all events have been acknowledged. After the condition that caused the alarm has been identified and corrected. If the supervisory condition is latching. the local buzzer will sound until either all troubles have been acknowledged or the SILENCE button is pressed When a conductor contacts and earth ground. When the system is in Alarm. pre-release events and countdown timers are displayed on the LCD. If the system is being used as an agent releasing panel and a pre-discharge timer is programmed.Operating Instructions for PFC-6075R. The LCD will display the number of inputs in alarm. If the AC power is removed for more than 5 seconds. When a trouble is occurring. the green AC power LED will extinguish. The batteries should be marked with the date of installation and replaced every four years or sooner if battery trouble occurs. When testing a system configured for releasing.
