3. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Viking Model B-1 Par-3 Panel is a
supervised, 24 Volt, microprocessor-
controlled Release Control Panel. The
panel is designed to operate up to two
electric release devices, (usually sole-
noid 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 compartment holds two 12 Volt
batteries which are charged by an inter-
nal battery charger. Batteries are avail-
able to provide up to 90 hours of backup
power during AC power failure.
The Model B-1 panel can be used with
a wide range of compatible initiating de-
vices such as heat (including linear heat
detection systems such as Protectowire
Systems), photoelectric, ionization, and
smoke detectors.
A dip switch 'Function Selector' allows
field programming for one of four possible
input/output combinations (see Table 1).
Note: Units of measure in parentheses may be approximations.

TECHNICAL DATA
In fire conditions when an initiating de-
vice circuit (or predetermined combina-
tion of circuits) is energized, the panel
activates a combination of release de-
vice circuits and alarm circuits according
to the 'Function Selector' setting. On the
panel's display board, the appropriate
Alarm, Trouble, and Supervisory LED's
will flash until the event has been ac-
knowledged. After depressing the Tone
or Alarm Silence button, the LED will
remain steadily illuminated until the
panel is reset.
