Introduction
About this Manual
This installation and operation manual provides information on installing and operating the PFC-5000 Microprocessor-Based
Fire Alarm Control Panel.
About the PFC-5000
Potter’s PFC-5000 Fire Alarm Control Panels provide 2, 4, or 8 supervised Class B (ULI Style B) Initiating Circuits, or 1,2 or 4
supervised Class A (ULI Style D) Initiating Circuits, and 2 or 4 supervised Class A or B (ULI Style Z or Y) NAC Circuits. All
Circuits are supervised for opens and ground faults, and NAC Circuits for shorts. Optional Modules include a ZA-42 Zone
Adder (required for full capacity in the PFC-5004E only), a UDACT-9100 Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter (DACT) or
a PR-5100 Polarity Reversal & City Tie Module, and ARM-4 or ARM-8 Relay Modules. The two enclosures are flush or surface
mountable, and can be used for retrofits and on new installations.
Overall Features:
The small enclosure versions, PFC-5002, & PFC-5004, have 2 and 4 Class B (Style B) initiating circuits respectively which•
may be configured as 1 or 2 Class A (Style D) Circuits respectively. These also have 2 Power Limited Class A/B (Style Z/Y)
NAC circuits with individual trouble indicators.
The large enclosure version, PFC-5004E, has 4 Class B (Style B) initiating circuits which may be configured as 2 Class A•
(Style D) circuits respectively. It also has 2 power limited Class A/B (Style Z/Y) NAC circuits with individual trouble
indicators. With a ZA-42 Zone Adder Module, an extra 4 Class B (2 Class A) initiating circuits, and 2 Class A/B NAC
circuits are added.
Each initiating circuit is configurable as a normal or verified alarm. In addition, on a Class B PFC-5004 or PFC-5004E,•
Initiating Circuit 3 may be a Waterflow Zone (as may Initiating Circuit 7 if a ZA-42 is installed), and initiating circuit 4 may
be a latched or non-latched supervisory zone (as may initiating circuit 8 if a ZA-42 is installed). On a Class A PFC-5004E
with a ZA-42, initiating circuit 3 may be a waterflow zone and initiating circuit 4 may be a latched or non-latched
supervisory zone.
NAC circuits can be configured as audible or visual and as silenceable or non-silenceable. Audibles may be Steady,•
Temporal Code, California Code, or March Time.
Initiating circuits may be individually disconnected by a slide-switch.•
Configurable signal silence inhibit (disabled or 1 minute), auto signal silence (disabled or 20 minutes), and one-man walk test.•
Subsequent alarm, supervisory, and trouble operation.•
Four-wire resettable smoke power supply (100 mA max.).•
Auxiliary relay contacts for common alarm and common supervisory (disconnectable), and a common trouble relay. If no•
Supervisory zones are configured then the common supervisory relay can be used as an extra common alarm relay.
Interface for an RTI Remote Trouble Indicator.•
RS-485 Interface for 1 to 3 Remote Multiplex Annunciators (RA8F.)•
The PFC-5002, PFC-5004 may use two of optional UDACT-9100 (DACT), PR-5100 (City Tie), ARM-4 or ARM-8 Relay Modules.•
The PFC-5004E may use optional UDACT-9100 (DACT), PR-5100 (City Tie), and one of ARM-4 or ARM-8 Relay Modules.•
The PFC-5008 is the same as PFC-5004E except the ZA-42 zone adder module is factory installed and may have UDACT-•
9100 (DACT) factory installed.
Slide Switch controls and LED Common indicators.•
Easy configuration via DIP switches.•
Extensive transient protection.•

For all technical support inquiries, please contact Potter’s Technical Support Department between 8 A.M. and 5 P.M. (CDT) Monday through
Friday, excluding holidays.

Document Conventions
Circuits and Zones
The term circuits refers to an actual electrical interface, initiating (detection), NAC (signal), or relay.
The term zone is a logical concept for a fire alarm protected area, and will consist of at least one circuit.
Often the terms zone and circuit are used interchangeably, but in this manual the term circuit is used.
Wiring Styles
Initiating circuits are configured by default as Class B (Style B). They may be globally (all or none) configured as Class A
(Style D) as described in System Configuration on page 28. This operation uses odd and even pairs of two-wire Class B (Style B)
circuits to make one four-wire Class A (Style D) circuit, thus cutting in half the number of available initiating circuits.
Indicating circuits may be individually wired as Class A (Style Z) or Class B (Style Y) without affecting the number of circuits
available (see Field Wiring on page 12). Indicating Circuits may also be referred to as Notification Appliance Circuits (NAC).

Relay Modules (ModelsARM-4 orARM-8)
Figure 7:ARM-4 orARM-8 RelayAdderModule (Zone Operated)
P1: Connect to P1 on the main fire alarm board.
By the factory setting, the four or eight relays are controlled by initiating circuits 1 to 8 respectively. This is configured by
selecting:
JW1:• Initiating Circuit #1 controls Relay #1.
JW2• : Initiating Circuit #2 controls Relay #2.
JW8:• Initiating Circuit #8 controls Relay #8.
Alternately, each relay may be set as a Common Alarm or Common Supervisory Relay by removing the jumper from JW1 to
JW1A, etc. These jumpers have two
positions to select Alarm or
Supervisory each.
JW1A:• Alarm or supervisory
control for Relay #1.
JW2A:• Alarm or supervisory
control for Relay #2.
JW8A:• Alarm or supervisory
control for Relay #8.
Finally, there are jumpers JW1.2,
JW2.3, up to JW7.8 that allow a relay to
have the same control as an adjacent
relay. For example, starting with the
factory default setting, moving the
jumper from JW2 to JW1.2 will make
both relays 1 & 2 operate with Initiating
Circuit #1.Contact Potter Technical
Support for assistance if required.

UDACT / DACT(Model UDACT-9100)
P1: Cable to P8 on the main fire alarm board.
Jumper JW6 on the main fire alarm module must be removed if a UDACT-9100 is installed. Note that this module cannot be
installed if a polarity reversal and city tie module is used.
Figure 8: UDACT-9100 DACTModule
Note: The UDACT is Tip & Ring sensitive. If any of the two LEDs are illuminated amber, reverse the wiring, then wait 30
seconds for the LED to clear.
Please see the UDACT-9100 Manual (LT-888POT) for more information.

General Field Wiring Considerations
Because most of the Field Wiring on the PFC-5000’s is to the Main Boards on the swinging dead front, it is very important to
properly dress the wires so as not to place stress on either their connection to the boards, or runs to conduit. The Figure below
shows the required wiring techniques.
Figure 10: General FieldWiring Considerations
USE AT LEAST 3 WIRE TIES
AS SUPPLIED THROUGH
HOLES ON DEADFRONT WIRE TIE IN 2 PLACES TO
BACKOFENCLOSURE DRESS WIRES NEAR TOP
OF ENCLOSURE CLEAR OF
ADDER MODULES
Do not run panel line voltage in the same conduit as
initiating circuits. Undesired transient voltage could
cause faults on initiating circuits.

Main FireAlarm Module Terminal Connections
Wire devices to terminals as shown in Figure 11 below. See Wiring Tables on page 20 for wiring instructions, AppendixA on
page 33 for compatible devices, and Appendix C on page 37 for specifications.
Do not exceed power supply ratings:
PFC-5002, PFC-5004, total current for NAC circuits is
2A max.
PFC-5004E/PFC-5008, total current for NAC circuits is 5A
max.

When wiring devices, please keep in mind the following:
All terminals are shown from the back of the main fire alarm board assembly (pointing towards the rear of the enclosure).•
All power limited circuits must use type FPL, FPLR, or FPLP power limited cable.•
Initiating circuits are fully supervised and rated for 26 VDC, 3 ma standby, 2.2 Vp-p ripple, 50 mA max. alarm. They may•
be configured as required. Maximum loop resistance is 100 ohms, 50 ohms per side.
NAC circuits are fully supervised and rated for 24 FWR 1.7 amp max. each. They must be wired as shown in the wiring•
tables on page 20.
On the PFC-5004 & PFC-5004E/PFC-5008, the auxiliary common supervisory relay contacts will act as a second set of•
common alarm contacts if there are no initiating circuits set as supervisory.
Initiating circuits must be all either Style B or D. If Style D is selected, cut the number of circuits in half.•

Figure 11B: Main FireAlarm Module Terminal Connections (cont’d)
When wiring devices, please keep in mind the following:
All terminals are shown from the back of the main fire alarm board assembly (pointing towards the rear of the enclosure).•
All power limited circuits must use type FPL, FPLR, or FPLP power limited cable.•
Initiating circuits are fully supervised and rated for 26 VDC, 3 ma standby, 1.5 Vp-p ripple, 50 mA max. alarm. They may•
be configured as required. Maximum loop resistance is 100 ohms, 50 ohms per side.
Initiating circuits are compatibility ID “A”.•
