CFP relay output card
This Relay Output Card is designed to mount inside the CFP Fire Alarm Panel. When connected, it provides the following isolated (voltage free) relay outputs which are directly controlled from the Panel.
Reset
Changes over during the Panel’s reset cycle.Stays in this state for at least one second after all other Outputs have normalised. Typically used for resetting Fire System devices such as beam detectors.
Fault
Changes over for any fault condition (unless the User has disabled the Panel’s Fault Output).This output is fail safe in that the relay is energised when there is no fault. If the power is completely removed from the Panel then the relay will change over to produce a fault signal.
Aux
Changes over when there is an Alarm Condition and any Delay has expired or been overridden (unless the User has disabled the Panel’s Aux. Output). Typically used for controlling Fire System devices such as door closers, ventilation shut down, etc.
Rem
Changes over when there is an Alarm Condition and any Delay has expired or been overridden(unless the User has disabled the Panel’s Remote Output). Typically used for connection to Remote signalling equipment.
The following relay outputs are available on CFP763 12-Way Relay Output Cards only:-
Zone 1-8
The basic function of these outputs is to change over when the relevant Zone is in Alarm,subject to the following conditions: The Zone must be enabled at the Fire Alarm Panel and any Delay must have expired. If PLK3 is fitted in the SOUNDER position the Alarm Sounders must be active for any of the Zonal Relays to operate. If the Alarm Sounders are Silenced, any active Zone relays will return to normal. If the Alarm Sounders are disabled, the Zone relays will never operate. If PLK3 is fitted in the OUTPUT position the Panel’s auxiliary output must be active for any of the Zonal relays to operate.If the Panel is Reset, any active Zone relays will return to Normal.If the Aux output function is disabled, the Zone relays will never operate.PLK3 must have a link fitted in either the SOUNDER or OUTPUT position otherwise the Zonal output relays will never operate.It is not possible to fit the link in both positions. If PLK1 “EVAC” is fitted all relays will be asserted regardless of Zone state when the Panel’s ‘Silence/Activate Sounders’ button is pressed (i.e when a manual Evacuation is carried out). If PLK2 “CC/AL” is fitted all relays will be asserted regardless of Zone state when either the Panel’s Class Change or Alert inputs are activated.(The relays are asserted continuously for Class Change andintermittently for Alert). Regardless of how links PLK1, PLK2 and PLK3 are configured, as a safety feature Zones programmed for Test will not operate the corresponding relay(s) on the Relay Output Card.
