SECTION ONE
GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 OVERVIEW
These low voltage automatic fire alarm Control Panels are local or
auxiliary units which sound local alarms and, if desired, transmit signals
to the fire headquarters through municipal Alarm boxes, McCulloh Alarm and
Trouble transmitters, polarity reversing transmitters, or Radio Alarm
System transceivers.
Table 1-1 shows the available versions.

NOTE
The 12 Vdc
3 Amp version of the C-100A is covered in separate manual. See
document Part Number 001-045-00 (C-100A-12 Fire Alarm Control Panel Instal-
lation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual) for complete information
regarding this Control Panel.
555 M DOCUMENT NO. 001-097-00 PAGE
Monaco Entepp~ises ING.
SPOKANE WASHINGTON 99214

The primary power input to the Control Panels is 120 VAC obtained from the
input side of the building main supply through an independent fused discon-
nect switch. The primary voltage is reduced and rectified to the proper
operating voltage. Terminals are also provided for connection of an emer-
gency battery supply which is automatically connected to operate the system
in the event of a failure of the primary power.
These Control Panels are either stand-alone units or custom configured to
meet a specific application.
This manual describes the Installation, Operation, and Maintenance of the
C-99A-12, C-99A-24, and C-100A-24 low voltage automatic fire alarm Control
Panels.
1.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
I All the Control Panels operate identically except for the voltage and
I current outputs. Figure 1-2 is a simplified version of the Control Panel
models.
1.2.1 Operating Principle
Three relays operate the Control Panel circuitry. The AC monitor relay and
the Alarm relay are voltage sensitive. This means they require the full DC
voltage applied across the coil before changing their state. The Trouble
relay is current sensitive. This relay is normally energized and is
de-energized whenever supervisory current is interrupted.

NOTES

1.2.2 Normal Condition
The circuitry in Figure 1-2 shows the positive DC voltage on the left side
and the DC return on the right side. A closer study reveals several
parallel paths for potential current flow.
In the Normal condition, full potential is applied causing:
o AC pilot lamp to go ON (between terminals 2 and
3)
o AC monitor relay (K3) to energize
o Relay K3 contacts 1 and 3 to close applying normal power
to the rest of the circuit.
Detector power is applied to teminals 23 and 24. Supervisory current is
applied through to the following supervised series circuit:
o High detector loop (between terminals 28 and 25)
o Resistor R2
o Milliamp meter (between terminals
4 and 5)
o AC monitor relay (K3) contacts 8 and 6
o Trouble relay (K2) coil (pins 7 and 2)
o Resistor R3 (between terminals 12 and 11)
o Circuit trace (between terminals 11 and 21)
o Bell circuit end-of-line (EOL) diode
(between terminals 21 and 22)
o Alarm Silence switch (S2) contacts
A
(between terminals 22 and 26)
o Low detector loop (between terminals 26 and 27)
o Alarm relay (Kl) coil (pins 2 and 7).
The momentary Test switch S4 (between terminals 25 and 26) is used to Alarm
test the system. The momentary Reset switch S3 is used to reset the system
to Normal condition.
The standby battery is connected to terminals 13 and
14. Fuse F3 protects
the circuitry when battery power is used.

1.2.3 Trouble Condition
The series circuit containing the Trouble relay (K2) coil is the system's
supervised circuit. In the Normal condition, supervisory current is
observed by the Milliamp meter reading. The Trouble relay activates,
closing contacts
1 and 6.
An open in any portion of the series circuit causes a Trouble condition.
The following events take place:
o Supervisory Current is interrupted
o Milliamp meter reading goes to zero
o Trouble relay (K2) de-energizes
o Trouble relay (K2) contacts 1 and
3 close
o Trouble lamp goes ON (terminals 10 and
6)
o Silenceable Trouble horn (LS1) goes ON
o Silenceable remote Trouble bell goes ON
(terminals 17 and 18)
o Nonsilenceable remote Trouble device goes ON
(terminals 15 and 16)
The silenceable Trouble horn and remote Trouble bell can be turned
OFF by
placing the Trouble Silence switch (Sl) in the Silence position.
Correcting the Trouble condition automatically places the system in Normal
condition with one exception. The silenceable Trouble horn and remote bell
goes ON (ring back feature) indicating the Trouble Silence switch (Sl) must
be placed in the Normal position.
1.2.4 Alarm Condition
The Control Panel goes into Alarm with the activation of any one of the
following:
o Test switch (S4)
o Heat detector
o Smoke detector
o Manual pull station.
L-
Monaco Enie~p~ises rc.
SPOKANE. WASHINGTON 99214

A properly wired detector or manual pull station has its Alarm contacts (or
equivalent) closed across terminals 25 and 26 of the Control Panel.
An Alarm condition causes the following sequence of events to occur:
o Control Panel terminals 25 and 26 have a closed circuit path
o Control Panel goes into Trouble condition (see paragraph 1.2.3)
o Alarm relay (Kl) energizes
o Alarm relay (Kl) contacts 1 and 3 close
o Alarm relay (Kl) contacts
6 and 8 close
o Alarm lamp goes ON (between terminals 7.and
8)
o Diode CR2 conducts (between terminals 26 and 12)
o Resistor R3 or external device (auxiliary alarm) has
supply voltage applied (between terminals 12 and 11)
o Alarm bells turn ON (between terminals 22 and 21)
o Circuit conducts between terminals 21 and 11.
Silencing the Alarm bell circuit is done by placing the Alarm Silence
switch (S2) in the Silence position. The Alarm Silence lamp now goes ON
(between terminals
9 and 6). Note the auxiliary Alarm, terminals 12 and
11, cannot be silenced.
The Alarm relay (Kl) is locked ON as a result of its contacts
1 and 3
closing (terminals 26 and 27 are always shorted). This relay (Kl) coil
now has the full DC voltage applied across it.
Resetting the Control Panel can only be done by momentarily placing the
Reset switch (S3) in the Reset condition.
Be sure the alarmed detector or manual pull station is in the Normal condi-
tion or removed from the detection loop before resetting the Control Panel.

SPOKANE. WASHINGTON 99214

The Alarm Silence lamp will remain ON indicating the Alarm Silence switch
must be placed back in the Normal condition.
1.2.5 Battery Power Condition
In the event of an
AC power failure, the Control Panel can operate with
battery power.
A power failure causes the following sequence of events to
occur:
o
AC pilot lamp goes OFF
o AC monitor relay (K3) de-energizes
o
AC monitor relay (K3) contacts 1 and 4 close
o
AC monitor relay (K3) contacts 6 and 8 open
o Battery power is applied to Control Panel
o Trouble condition occurs (see Paragraph 1.2.3)
When
AC power is restored the Control Panel automatically restores except
for the ring back feature (due to the Trouble Silence switch (Sl) in the
Silence position). Placing this switch in Normal position turns the
audible Trouble signal
OFF. Appendix C contains information on how to
calculate required battery capacity.
