1. DESCRIPTION
The Viking Model B-1 Par-3 Release Control Panel is a supervised, 24 Volt, microprocessor-
controlled Release Control Panel. The panel is designed to operate up to two electric release
devices (usually solenoid valves) in the release piping of deluge or preaction systems. The
panel is available for use with either 120 VAC or 230 VAC power supplies. A built-in battery com-
partment holds two 12 Volt batteries that are charged by an internal battery charger. Batteries
are available to provide up to 90 hours of backup power during AC power failure.
The Model B-1 Release Control Panel can be used with a wide range of compatible initiating
devices, such as heat (including linear heat detection systems like the Protectowire Systems),
photoelectric, ionization, and smoke detectors.
A dip switch 'Function Selector' allows fi eld programming for one of four possible input/output
combinations (refer to Table 2).
In fi re conditions, when an initiating device circuit (or predetermined combination of circuits) is
energized, the panel activates a combination of release device circuits and alarm circuits ac-
cording to the 'Function Selector' setting. On the panel's display board, the appropriate Alarm,
Trouble, and Supervisory LED's will fl ash until the event has been acknowledged. After depress-
ing the Tone or Alarm Silence button, the LED will remain steadily illuminated until the panel is
reset.

  • Page 4: Installation

    Prior to energizing the panel: Verify that dip switches controlling panel operation are in the proper position for the system used. Refer to Table 2 and VIKING FIELD WIRING DIAGRAMS. Verify that all modules are securely and properly positioned on their pins. If a module is loose, carefully align all pins and press firmly into position.
  • Page 5 Place batteries inside the battery compartment of the Par-3 Release Control Panel with the unused terminals toward the open door. Install batteries in the upright position only. Plug the plug-in connector to J9 on the main board of the panel. (Refer to Figure 2 and VIKING FIELD WIRING DIAGRAMS.) DO NOT install jumper at this time.
  • Page 6 AGED BY REMOVING AND/OR INSERTING CARDS, MODULES, OR INTERCONNECTING CABLES WHILE THE PANEL IS ENER- GIZED. 7. AVAILABILITY The Viking Model B-1 Release Control Panel is available through a network of domestic and international distributors. See the Viking Corp.
