1. Introduction and Key Features The SFCP Rail is designed to be a stand-alone fire-detection and extinguishing unit and is often found in e.g. bobcats, ships or other equipment/vehicles in which the user should be able to extinguish a fire rapidly.
LED flash codes indicate the location of an alarm or fault condition. The SFCP Rail has an intemal alarm sounder and an output to drive additional external audible alarm units up to 2Amps. Also a Voltage Free Contact (1/FC), switched in case of fire, e.g. for fuel shutoff, engine/fan shutdown etc.
This to prevent a detection fault on the input(s). If the external hold-off button is pressed during normal state (no fire / alarms), the SFCP Rail will give on fault on the front. Which can be recognized by the blinking of the yellow detection fault LED.
This means that if the system normally uses a 12VDC Input, the battery should also supply 12VDC input, or if the normal voltage is 24VDC, the battery should also supply 24VDC. If the SFCP Rail is set to battery mode and the continuous power supply would fall off, the on LED will blink to warn the user.
2.10. Extinguishing Output Monitoring The extinguishing output of the SFCP-Rail is polarised to monitor the output on short circuit and open circuit. With an end-of-line resistor (10k Ohm) and a suppressor diode (e.g.: SB260 - 2A and 60V by 24 VDC input voltage) the extinguisher units will be monitored. SB260 Note: The installation of the diode is critical and therefore the extinguishing output must be tested with an extinguishing test unit (at least 24VDC / 1A, for examble a light bulb).
3. SFCP Rail Controls and Indications The SFCP Rail has a clear front panel display enabling the current state of the SFCP Rail to be rapidly determined. Figure 3.0 shows the controls and indications. Figure 3M SFCP Rail front panel controls and indications 3.1 Controls...
The fire extinguishing device will be released, depending on the dip-switch (time) settings. If the SFCP Rail is set up in the direct fire mode, pressing both extinguishing release buttons will override the extinguishing delay at start the extinguishing release immediately.

The Extinguish Fault LED The yellow Fault (Fire suppression) LED is lit when a fault is detected in the fire-extinguisher line. In normal state (no fire) a monitoring current of <4 mA is supplied to the extinguishers. If R>300 Ohm, the Extinguish Fault is triggered.
4. Connections of the SFCP Rail The SFCP Rail has the connections on the back of the control panel. It´s components, except the connections and the dip-switches are moulded in plastic for a IP protection. Figura 4.0 shows the controls and indications.

The rear of the SFCP Rail will have the following connections: CONNECTOR X4: 1. FAULT Normally-closed connection 2. FAULT Normally-open connection 3. FAULT Common (engaged an any fault condition) 4. FIRE Normally-closed connection 5. FIRE Normally-open connection 6. FIRE Common (indicates upcoming extinguisher activation) 7.
5. Dip-Switches Settings The SFCP Rail can be commissioned in a basic manner by using the settings of the dip-switches. Figure 4.0 shows the location of the dip-switches. 5.1 Direct fire Dip-switch Position up: In the direct fire mode the dual release extinguishing buttons (fire buttons) on the...
5.4 Single or Dual Fire Alarm Dip-switch Position up: In single mode the extinguisher(s) will be released when one of the zones will have a fire alarm condition. Position down: In dual mode the extinguisher(s) will be released after both zones will have a fire alarm condition.
6. SFCP Rail Technical Specification Power Supply Specification Rated Voltage 11 to 32 Volt DC This means that if the system normally uses a 12VDC input, the battery should Battery Voltage also supply 12VDC input, or if the normal voltage is 24VDC, the battery should also supply 24VDC.
