There is also a system coder capable of zone-coded operation. All of the NACs are power limited. Serial Interface Circuit The MPC-6000 control unit has a Serial Interface Circuit that will drive up to 16 remote LCD annunciators and 8 Serial Relay Units and Serial Annunciator Units. Status Relays Four relays with dry contacts are provided.
MPC-6000 / MPC-7000 / RND-2 INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL MPC-7000 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The MPC-7000 is an expandable modular fire alarm control unit. It features advanced addressable detection, programming, and memory capability. Its base configuration includes a power supply, two X1 addressable device circuits, four/two notification circuits (NAC), serial interface circuit, four status relays and a programming port.
This reduces the number of NACs to two (six). Each circuit can be selected to give continuous output or one of eight sounding patterns available in the control unit including the Faraday SYNC Protocol. There is also a system coder capable of zone-coded operation. All of the NACs are power limited.
MPC-6000 / MPC-7000 / RND-2 INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL RND-2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The RND-2 is a Remote Network Display designed to connect to a Faraday MPC-NET2 Network. It features advanced programming, and memory capability. Its base configuration includes a power supply, serial interface circuit, four status relays and a programming port.
MPC-6000 / MPC-7000 / RND-2 INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Serial Interface Circuit The RND-2 control unit has a Serial Interface Circuit that will drive up to 16 remote LCD annunciators and 8 Serial Relay Units and Serial Annunciator Units.
100AH lead acid batteries. Battery Sets The MPC-6000 / MPC-7000 / RND-2 control units are designed to use only sealed lead-acid or equivalent batteries for back-up power. Attaching a close-coupled battery box, if required, may allow use of battery sets beyond the physical capacity of the enclosure (12AH for the MPC- 6000 and 18AH for the MPC-7000).
The RSE-300 can be configured so that the inputs can be programmed to provide steady outputs, ANSI temporal outputs, or Faraday SYNC protocol for synchronized horn/strobe outputs. It can also be programmed to silence Faraday sync horns while the sync strobes remain on, using two wires. This requires a silenceable and non-silenceable input.
