PERTRONIC INDUSTRIES LTD DATASHEET Extinguishing Agent Release System (Version 2) ARC2, ARC2-CC ACS2-FM, ACS2-SM, LCS2-FM, LCS2-SM Overview The Pertronic extinguishing agent release system is designed for use with Pertronic and third-party fire panels. The system is designed to control gas flood equipment. It may also be used to control other fire suppression systems. Agent Release Controller (ARC2) The system consists of an agent release controller, an agent control station, and one or more local control stations, together with audio visual signs as required for each specific installation. Pertronic fire panels may be supplied with one or more factory fitted agent release systems. The Agent Release Controller (ARC2) monitors the fire panel for alarm signals. In the default “Double-Knock Auto” mode, the ARC2 requires two separate alarm signals in order to activate the agent discharge process. In “Single-Knock Auto” mode, the agent discharge process is triggered by a single alarm signal. The agent discharge process can also be activated by manually activating the yellow call point on any connected control station (ACS2 or LCS2). Above Left: Agent Control Station (ACS2) Above Right: Local Control Station (LCS2) Operation Double Knock Auto Mode » An alarm signal on the “Alarm 1” or “Alarm 2” input initiates Stage 1 of the agent discharge process. » Alarm signals on both the “Alarm 1” and “Alarm 2” input initiates Stage 2 of the agent discharge process. Single Knock Auto Mode An alarm signal initiates Stage 2 of the agent discharge process Manual Mode Activation of a call point on any connected ACS2 or LCS2 initiates Stage 2 of the agent discharge process. Stage 1 Operation » ACS2 & LCS2 Alarm Input 1 LEDs light up, flashing » Controller Dual Sign output activates with “stage 1” polarity » Controller Activation Stage 1 output turns on Stage 2 Operation » Countdown timer lights up, indicating the time in seconds till discharge » ACS2 & LCS2 Alarm Input 1 and Alarm Input 2 LEDs light up » ACS2 & LCS2 Stage 2 / Timer Running LED lights up » Controller Dual Sign output activates with “stage 2” polarity » Controller Activation Stage 2 output turns on » At the end of the delay period, the controller activates the Detonation output Abort Press the Manual Mode button on any control station to abort the agent release process. Pause Activation of a lock-off valve, or an interlock (such as a connected door or vent switch), will pause the agent release delay timer. Compatible with Pertronic F220©, F100A, F16e, and F120A fire panels Auto and Manual operating modes A Pertronic Extinguishing Agent Release System includes » One Agent Release Controller » One Agent Control Station (ACS2) » One or more Pertronic Audio Visual (A-V) Signs.

FIRE ALARM FIRE ALARM System Inoperative Dual Sign Fire Panel with built-in ARC and Agent Control Station Typical arrangement of a Pertronic Extinguishing Agent Release System with a Pertronic fire panel and Pertronic Audio Visual Signs Agent Release Controller The Pertronic Extinguishing Agent Release Controller is designed for installation in a fire panel. The fire panel may be a Pertronic F220©, F100A, F16e, or a third-party fire panel. A single fire panel may be fitted with multiple Extinguishing Agent Release Controllers. Each controller requires one Pertronic Agent Control Station, which...

Control Station Specification Operating Voltage Operating Voltage 1. Supervised inputs and outputs require 10 kQ end of line (EOL) resistors, mounted at the extreme end of each input or output cable. In addition, each unused input must be terminated with a 10 kQ EOL resistor. Suitable 10 kQ resistors are supplied with each Agent Release Controller. 2. The controller board is supplied with 2k2 resistors for triggering the various supervised inputs (see Technical Manual for details). 3. The Door Interlock output is activated whenever the “System Isolate” switch is on. When correctly connected,...
