Page 5: Introduction
About the PFC-5000 Potter’s PFC-5000 Fire Alarm Control Panels provide 2, 4, or 8 supervised Class B (ULI Style B) Initiating Circuits, or 1,2 or 4 supervised Class A (ULI Style D) Initiating Circuits, and 2 or 4 supervised Class A or B (ULI Style Z or Y) NAC Circuits. All Circuits are supervised for opens and ground faults, and NAC Circuits for shorts. -
Page 6: Document Conventions
Document Conventions Circuits and Zones The term circuits refers to an actual electrical interface, initiating (detection), NAC (signal), or relay. The term zone is a logical concept for a fi re alarm protected area, and will consist of at least one circuit. Often the terms zone and circuit are used interchangeably, but in this manual the term circuit is used. - Page 7 Model Description PFC-5002 Small enclosure fi re alarm control panel with 2 Class B (Style B) or 1 Class A (Style D) Initiating Circuits, and 2 Power Limited Class A/B (Style Z/Y) NAC Circuits (1.70 amperes each, 2.0 amperes total) with individual trouble indicators.

Page 16: Figure 10: General Field Wiring Considerations
Field Wiring General Field Wiring Considerations Because most of the Field Wiring on the PFC-5000’s is to the Main Boards on the swinging dead front, it is very important to properly dress the wires so as not to place stress on either their connection to the boards, or runs to conduit. The Figure below shows the required wiring techniques. -
