Circuits and Devices Circuits and Devices Addressable/Analog Devices The SFC-500 supports one loop of addressable/analog devices. The device loop can be used to connect up to 60 or 126 analog devices and addressable input or output modules on an unshielded twisted pair (UTP). The devices must be compatible with the Summit device protocol.
SFC-500 Series Installation and Operation Manual Instructions and other documentation provided with the addressable devices, bases, and isolators for further information. The system will automatically limit the maximum number of device LEDs which can be illuminated to 15. Analog Devices The system supports Summit SI-200 Series photo, ion, and thermal (heat) type analog detectors, as well as contact input and output devices.

Field Wiring Dialer Wiring If you have Fire Alarm Panel model SFC-500-60-DR and SFC-500-126-DR, there is a dialer on board and terminals marked Line 1 and Line 2 must be wired as shown in Figure 12 below. Terminals are located in the top left hand corner of the main fire alarm board, from the top down.
SFC-500 Series Installation and Operation Manual Polarity Reversal and City Tie Module (SPR-200) Wiring Wire the SPR-200 Polarity Reversal and City Tie Module (if used) as shown in Figure 13, below. Power Limited cable type FPL, FPLR or FPLP must be used. For USA installation, the installer must use Atlantic Scientific (Tel: 407-725-8000), Model #24544 Protective Device, or similar UL-Listed QVRG secondary protector, as shown.
Field Wiring Auxiliary Power Supplies Aux 2 Resettable Auxiliary Power (supervised, regulated) The AUX 2 resettable auxiliary power supply is supervised for shorts, therefore a short will disconnect the power until the “RESET” button is pressed. A trouble signal will be generated if there is a short. The circuit must be supervised for opens utilizing the End of Line Relay Model PAM-3 as shown in Figure 15.

SFC-500 Series Installation and Operation Manual Input Types Description When an un-bypassed verified alarm input goes into alarm, if the system is not already in alarm, the alarm is verified over a period of time to determine if the alarm condition is valid.
Indicators, Controls and Operations Input Types Description An alarm condition on an un-bypassed trouble only input initiates the common trouble sequence as a non-latching trouble. The status is reflected on trouble zone indicators and in the common queue on the shared display with trouble-only as the third priority. They may Trouble-Only also be programmed to relay, signal, and strobe outputs.

If multiple pre-alarms or alarm verification sequences are active at the same time only the first is displayed. Pressing the INFO button while the pre-alarm or verification message is active will display additional information on the circuit or device as described under queue display mode.
Remote Annunciators Operation Remote Annunciators Operation The SFC-500 supports two types on annunciators: conventional LED/switch annunciators and a shared display (LCD) annunciator. Both types are connected to the panel via the RS-485 serial link. Conventional Annunciators (SRA-300 Series and SRAM-216 and SRAM-208) The SFC-500 is designed to interface with the SRA-300 series and SRAM-216 and SRAM-208 conventional LED annunciators.
SFC-500 Series Installation and Operation Manual Dialer Operation The SFC-500 Series (models with a D suffix) Fire Control panels are equipped with a built-in dialer. The dialer provides a means to communicate panel status to the remote central monitoring station using two dedicated phone lines.
