PDD-FT Series Troubleshooting Guide
Problem Solution
- Check AC Power.
- Check Power Supply for voltage output.
- Check devices connected to outputs for
ashort circuit. (PTC’s may require short
to be removed for several minutes
before automatically resetting).
- Check trigger jumpers. Output LED
should be lit if output is active.
- Check for proper wiring connections on
trigger connections.
- Ensure that 2.2K resistor is installed at
End of Line position in the wiring.
- Check devices connected to outputs for
ashort circuit. (PTC’s may require
short to be removed for several minutes
before automatically resetting.)
No DC output from terminals.
Trigger is active and will not reset.
Trouble output relay is de-energized.
(Relay terminals are labeled shown in
the Normal, energized, “no trouble”
condition. Relays are energized when
no trouble is detected.)

FIG. 5 - Connections for latching release with N/O manual reset using
multiple PDD-FT boards
This application illustrates how to connect the PDD-FT to a power supply for main input
as well as a fire alarm control panel. If wired in this manner, outputs will change state
whenever the fire alarm relay activates and remain latched in the triggered state until reset
by activating the N/O switch. Connecting the EOL input of one board to the trigger relay of
the next boardas shown will allow for override and reset of multiple boards.
Note: The RST jumper must be left in place on all boards except the one that is
directly connected to the fire alarm,reset, and override switches.

This application
illustrates how to
connect the PDD-FT to
an RCI 10-5 for main
input, AC failure as well
as a firealarmcontrol
panel. If wired in this
manner, trigger outputs
will change state
whenever the fire alarm, or AC failure relays activate. The PDD-FT outputs will remain in
the triggered state until both relays have been reset and the N/O manual reset is triggered.
Note: Ensure jumpers for RST, OVR, and AUX IN are removed
to allow terminals to operate correctly.
Details
The PDD-FT board is a fire panel control interface. This board can be used to control DC
output based on a fire alarm control panel. Two outputs switch state on alarm.

Installation Instructions
1. Mount the PDD-FT board in a suitable location in close proximity to the power supply.
Note:
a) Ground fault detection will only work if conductive stand offs areused and
power supply enclosureis properly grounded.
b) As this device is used to power multiple devices ensure that all wiring is of an
appropriate gauge for the devices being installed.
c) The RCI PDD-FT board is for use in a controlled environment. Installation
must be in accordance with local building and fire codes. Check with
Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for details prior to installing.
d) All power limited wiring must be a minimum of .25” from non-power limited
wiring.
2. Connect “INPUT” terminals to output of DC supply, paying close attention to polarity of
DC output from power supply.
3. Connect devices to be powered to output terminals of PDD-FT
control board, paying close attention to polarity requirements.
4. Set jumpers (RST, OVR, AUX, and GRN) as required for proper installation.

FIG. 3 - Fire Panel Connections for Latching Release with
N/O Manual Reset
This application illustrates how to connect the PDD-FT to a power supply for main input as
well as a fire alarm control panel. If wired in this manner, outputs will change state
whenever the fire alarm relay activates and remain latched in the triggered state until reset
by activating the N/O switch.
Note: Remove RST jumper for manual reset operation.
FIG. 4 - Connections for Non-Latching release reset
using multiple PDD-FT boards
This application illustrates how to connect the PDD-FT to a power supply for main input as
well as a fire alarm control panel. If wired in this manner, outputs will change state only as
long as the fire alarm relay is active. When the fire alarm resets the PDD-FT outputs will
also reset. Connecting the EOL input of one board to the trigger relay of the next board as
shown will allow for override and reset of multiple boards.
Note: The RST jumper must be left in place on all boards for automatic
reset operation.
5. Connect fire alarm control panel to EOL input terminals, ensure that the 2.2K resistor
is installed at the terminals in the fire alarm panel.
a) See fire alarm control panel installation and operation manual for details
about signaling requirements.
b) Fig's 2-6 in this installation guide will provide details on wiring to the fire
alarm control panel.
6. Connect any required monitoring equipment to the trouble and trigger relays using
appropriate cabling.
7. The unit is to be powered from the model PS 10-5 power supply or a UL listed
power limited power supply.
8. Apply power to power supply to activate control board and test all connected devices.

Description of PDD-FT Connections
See Fig. 1
Input Power
“-INPUT+”: 2 Pos. Terminal block with self clamping screws will accept multiple 12awg
wires Universal input 10-29VDC. The input current is 70ma to control relays plus whatever
output load is. The positive side of the power is connected to the swing arm of the
transfer relay which directs the power to the proper output.
Output Power
4Pos. Terminal block Self clamping screws will accept multiple 12awg wires. “-N/ON+”
are normally ON output power. This output is ON when the PDD-FT is not triggered.
“-N/OFF+” is normally OFF. This output is ON when this unit is triggered. The transfer relay
is rated at 15A @ 12VDC and 12A @ 24VDC.
Power LED's
Ared led above each output indicates which output is active.
Input Trigger EOL
2Pos. Terminal block – Will accept 14-28awg wire. This input must see the 2.2K ohm end
of line resistor to be in the normal set condition. A change in resistance of + or – 60% will
cause the trigger relays to drop out in the Triggered mode. This change in resistance is
caused by the supervised wire between the EOL at the fire panel and the PDD-FT being
shorted or opened. The EOL supervises the pair of wires.
Input Trigger OVR
2Pos. Terminal block - Will accept 14-28awg wire. This pair is normally closed and can be
connected to an override switch. When OVR is open, unit will trigger.
Input Trigger AUX-IN
2Pos. Terminal block - Will accept 14-28awg wire. This pair is normally closed and can be
connected to an auxiliary device. When AUX-IN is open, unit will trigger.
Reset 2 Pos. Terminal block
Will accept 14-28awg wire. When this pair is shorted, input triggers do not latch. If pair is
open, the input triggers will latch until alarmis corrected and RESET is momentaryclosed
to reset trigger.
Jumpers RST - OVR - AUX
Arejumpers with handles to shortadjacent terminal blocks that are not used. You may
move the jumper to one header to open short to enable adjacent terminals.
Jumpers GRN
This jumper is used to enable ground supervision in the inputs. If the jumper is connected
to both headers, and the mounting hole adjacent to jumper is connected to ground, a
ground on any of the input triggers will cause a trigger.
Trigger Status Terminal block
Will accept 14-28awg wire. Form C Contact with a 3 Amp rating will indicate the condition
of trigger. C and NO are normally open in the normal energize not triggered state. C and
NC are normally closed in the normal energized not triggered state. These contacts may be
used to provide feedback to the FACP or other annunciating devices.
