RP-2002C Agent Release Control Panel

General

The RP-2002C is a six-zone FACP designed for single and dual hazard agent releasing applications. It provides reliable fire detection, signaling, and protection for commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings requiring agent-based releasing. The RP-2002C is compatible with System Sensor's i³ detectors, which are conventional smoke detectors capable of transmitting maintenance trouble signals (indicating the need for cleaning) and supervisory 'freeze' signals when ambient temperatures fall below approximately 45°F (7.22°C). The panel also supports conventional input devices such as two-wire smoke detectors, four-wire smoke detectors, pull stations, waterflow devices, tamper switches, and other normally-open contact devices. Consult the Notifier Device Compatibility Document for a complete list of compatible devices.

Four outputs are programmable as NACs (Notification Appliance Circuits) or releasing circuits. Three programmable Form-C relays (factory programmed for Alarm, Trouble, and Supervisory) and 24 VDC special application resettable and non-resettable power outputs are included on the main circuit board. The RP-2002C supervises all wiring, AC voltage, battery charger, and battery level.

Activation of a compatible smoke detector or any normally-open fire alarm initiating device triggers audible and visual signaling devices, illuminates an indicator, displays alarm information on the panel's LCD, sounds the piezo sounder, activates the FACP alarm relay, and can operate an optional module to notify a remote station or initiate an auxiliary control function.
