1. Product Description
The Control Panel Section of the Self-Contained TOTALPAC2
unit is an add-on cabinet that is installed on the top of the trim
enclosure at the factory. This cabinet is fabricated of Gauge
14 steel, painted fire red with baked powder paint making it
rustproof, the same finish as the Trim Enclosure.
The Control Panel Section is provided with a locked stainless
steel door on the front giving access to the basic controls of
the Control Panel. Once opened, the cabinet door gives
access to the Contractor's Terminal Strip (refer to FIELD
WIRING DIAGRAM for additional details), the control panel
main board, emergency batteries and other related
equipment. Refer to Figures 1 and 2 for additional details.
2. Self-contained TOTALPAC2Unit (with Viking PAR-3 Model
B-2 Control Panel)
The Viking PAR-3 Model B-2 Control Panel is a supervised,
24 Volt, microprocessor-controlled release control panel.
The panel is designed to operate the electric release
solenoid, in the release piping of deluge or preaction
systems. The panel is available for use with either 120VAC-
60Hz or 220VAC-50Hz power supplies. The battery
compartment can hold two 12 volt batteries which are
charged by an internal battery charger. Batteries are
available to provide up to 90 hours of backup power during
AC power failure.
The PAR-3 panel can be used with a wide range of
compatible initiating devices such as pull stations, heat
detectors (including linear heat detectors), photo-electric and
ionization smoke detectors.
A dip switch 'Function Selector' allows field programming for
one of four possible input/output combinations, of which only
two are available and Listed for use with the TOTALPAC2
System: Single Hazard Two Zone and Single Hazard
Crossed Zone.
Changing the position of the dip switch will cause the panel to
go on trouble condition.
Warning ! Only the two configurations above are
Listed/Approved with the TOTALPAC2Unit. Changing the
position of the factory set dip switches may eliminate the
Fire Protection capabilities of the system and/or void
Listing/Approval and Warranty. Consult FireFlex Systems
before making any change !
In fire conditions when an initiating device circuit (or
predetermined combination of circuits) is energized, the panel
activates the release and signaling circuits according to the
'Function Selector' setting.
On the panel's display board, the appropriate Alarm, Trouble
and Supervisory LED's will flash until the event has been
acknowledged. After depressing the Tone or Alarm Silence
button, the LED will remain steadily illuminated until the panel
is reset.

supervisory. The panel has alarm and trouble resound
with LED flash of new conditions.
The flashing trouble LED(s) illuminate steadily on TONE
SILENCE and the buzzer silences.
A Second trouble will resound the piezo. The piezo has
three sounds for alarm, trouble, and supervisory. Trouble
conditions are self restoring. Alarms and supervisories
latch and require RESET to clear.
ALARM SILENCE: Acknowledge for alarms and
supervisories. The ALARM SILENCE switch will silence
the local piezo, change any flashing alarm LEDs to steady,
and turn off the notification appliance circuits (not the
Releasing Circuits). The "ALARM SILENCED" LED will
illuminate. Alarm silence is a latching function and
requires a RESET to clear.
ALARM ACTIVATE: The ALARM ACTIVATE switch may
be used to activate Notification Appliance Circuits.
ALARM ACTIVATE also activates the System Alarm relay.
ALARM ACTIVATE is a latching function. Pressing
ALARM SILENCE silences the notification appliance
circuits and System Alarm Relay and lights the Alarm
Silenced LED. Pressing RESET returns the system to
normal.
SYSTEM RESET: The RESET switch breaks power to all
initiating circuits, 4-wire smoke power and option boards
and will clear any activated output circuits. If any alarm or
trouble still exists after reset, they will reactivate the panel.
Holding RESET down will perform a LAMP TEST function
and will activate the buzzer.
Zone Status LED(s):
The alarm and/or trouble LED(s) will flash until the

9. BATTERIES TECHNICAL DATA:
Batteries are sealed construction, lead-acid rechargeable
that allow a trouble-free, safe operation in any position.
There is no need to add electrolyte as gases generated
during overcharge are recombined in a unique "Oxygen
Cycle".
No special handling precautions or shipping containers –
surface or air – are required due to the leak-proof
construction.
Under normal operating conditions four two five years of
dependable service can be expected in stand-by
applications or between 200 and 1000 charge/discharge
cycles depending upon depth of discharge.
The capacity of the batteries is expressed in amperes-hours
(AH) and is the total amount of electrical energy available
from a fully charged cell. The standard batteries provided
with the TOTALPAC2unit is 7AH capacity and should provide
enough power to provide the 5 minutes of alarm after 24
hours on stand-by required by UL and C-UL. 12AH batteries
are also available on option for the 90 Hrs standby period
requested by Factory Mutual (FM). The calculation chart
below shall be used to confirm batteries will be adequate.
.1 Standby Battery Requirements
