Information About PFC-5004E
The PFC-5004E is a member of Potter’s PFC-5000 Series fire alarm control panels, engineered for small to mid-sized facilities requiring dependable and configurable fire detection control. It includes 4 Class B (Style B) initiating circuits—expandable to 8 with the ZA-42 Adder Module—and 2 Class A/B (Style Z/Y) notification circuits expandable to 4. The system’s built-in 5-amp power supply provides both system and smoke detector power, ensuring stable operation even under demanding conditions. Configuration through DIP switches allows flexible setup of system features such as alarm verification, signal silence, waterflow monitoring, and supervisory functions without complex programming tools.
Key Features:
- Expandable Zone Capacity: Supports 4 Class B zones (expandable to 8) or 2 Class A circuits (expandable to 4) for system scalability.
- Integrated 5A Power Supply: Provides 24 VDC regulated output and resettable smoke detector power.
- Selectable Audible Patterns: Configurable for Steady, March Time, Temporal Code, or California Code alarm signaling.
- Flexible Configuration: DIP switch setup allows easy customization of alarm verification, zone types, and circuit silence features.
- Multiple Relay Outputs: Includes auxiliary relays for Common Alarm, Trouble, and Supervisory signals.
- Built-in RS-485 Interface: Supports up to three RA8F remote annunciators for enhanced monitoring.
- Automatic Signal Silence: Reduces manual reset needs and enhances operational safety.
- UL Listed and NFPA Compliant: Meets key fire protection standards for commercial and residential use.
The PFC-5004E delivers the reliability and precision required for modern fire alarm control in small to medium-sized building systems.
