1. Introduction to the Stat-X Dual Release Control Panel (SDRP)
The SDRP Part No. 830001 provides automatic fire detection and releasing capability for up to
four (4) Stat-X generators without the need for direct power connection. Replaceable internal
lithium batteries supply power to the control panel for up to three (3) years in service, even after
storage. Dual detection and release zones are provided for both automatic and manual
actuation of the fire suppression system, as well as a manual release for both zones
simultaneously. The SDRP is specifically designed for rugged commercial and military on and
off-road vehicle use.
A fully potted, lightweight aluminum enclosure surrounds the military qualified electronic
components. The SDRP provides electrical supervision of fire detection, release, manual
activation as well as battery condition. The SDRP includes a maintenance/transport guarded
toggle switch that can be secured in the "Disarm System" position to disable the system. This
feature is used to extend storage life as well as prevent unwanted discharge during transport or
vehicle maintenance.
A second momentary action guarded toggle switch is provided to perform an on-command
system test of circuit integrity and battery condition. When commanded, the test switch
initiates a built-in test of the fire suppression system and the panel indicates system status
by illuminating either a green “System OK”LED or a yellow “System Trouble”LED.
Batteries must be replaced as follows …
- Every three (3) years or ...
- If a system trouble condition persists or …
- Following a system discharge event.

2. Quick Installation Overview
Perform a Fire Hazard Analysis
- A detailed Fire Hazard Analysis is beyond the scope of this manual. However, a Fire
Hazard Analysis must be conducted by a trained individual familiar with the process
being protected prior to system installation. At a minimum, the Hazard Analysis must
define potential flammable materials (fuel) and potential process failure which could
result in combustion (heat source).
- A reliable automatic fire detection system must be located to provide fast and accurate
fire detection. The method of detection should also provide for ease of testing and
maintenance without interfering with normal process operation and maintenance.
- Actuation wiring must be located away and protected from potential hazard areas. All
wiring must be installed using quality materials and must be protected from corrosion
and other possible damage to circuits.
Determine Control Panel Location
- The SDRP must be located where periodic testing and maintenance can be performed.
The toggle switches and LED display must be accessible and visible. While the SDRP
contains certain protection from the elements, it’s always good practice to keep
electronics away from water, oil, and other conductive materials.
- Ensure the SDRP is not located in the hazard area and is protected in some manner
against high temperatures.
- Mount the SDRP to a flat, stable surface
- Battery replacement is periodically required. The SDRP panel must be installed
such that access to mounting hardware is available.
Determine Manual Release Switch Location
- If the Manual Release Switch PN 830003 is to be installed, ensure the switch is located
in an accessible location in the path of egress between 42” and 48” above the floor.
While the Manual Switch is designed to be protected against the elements, it’s always
good practice to keep electronics away from water, oil and other conductive materials.
Thermal Detection Methods and Field Wiring
- The SDRP operates using class B detection as defined by NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm
and Signaling Code. Normally open sensors wired in parallel are used to provide
thermal detection. Electrical Supervision of the detectors and detection circuit wiring is
provided by the SDRP through a 470k ohm end of line resistor.
- If the SDRP senses a wiring break, a Trouble condition is displayed when the “Test”
toggle switch is operated via a yellow LED at the SDRP.
- If the SDRP senses a wiring or thermal detector closure, the SDRP will automatically
actuate the connected Stat-X generators.

- Do not route field wiring over objects which may damage the wiring due to vibration, high
temperature, or sharp edges or corners.
- Add drip loops as needed
Figure 1 - Drip Loop Example (use for detectors and generators as needed)
Stat-X Generator Location and Operation
- Stat-X generators must be securely mounted and aimed per the Hazard Analysis.
- Field wiring from the SDRP to each generator may be wired in series or in parallel.
- Only two generators may be wired to each actuation zone.
- Ensure the wiring connection from the SDRP field wiring to each generator is tight, clean
and environmentally sealed. Corrosion and poor electrical connections will add electrical
resistance to the actuation circuit. Clean and tight electrical connections reduce the
opportunity for problems.

b. SDRP Cable Harness Assembly
The SDRP Cable Harness PN 830006 provides the connection between the SDRP and
field wiring. The SDRP Cable Harness is available in two separate configurations –pre-
terminated and unterminated. The pre-terminated version PN 830006 uses Deutsch
DTM series connectors and a single MIL-Std circular connector. The unterminated
version is provided with unstripped output cables. Both cable versions use color coded
ty wraps along with labels which indicate the cable/wire function.
Note: It’s important to note that while the Stat-X generators are not polarized, the Alarm
Test Module PN 830002 which connects to the actuation circuits is polarized.

c. Alarm Test Module PN 830002
The Field Test Alarm Module provides the ability to field load test actuation circuits using
a resettable device. The Alarm Module is installed in the actuation circuitry and provides
a simulated Stat-X generator without the danger of false discharge. The Alarm Module
gives the system installer the ability to place a resettable simulator in place while
installing and commissioning a system. The Alarm Module also provides the field service
technician the ability to “live test” the SDRP panel and detection circuitry. When a
detection circuit “closes” in Alarm, the Alarm Module senses the electrical load and
simulates a system actuation. A red LED in the Alarm Module verifies an actuation signal
was sent by the SDRP panel. When the Alarm condition (detection circuit closure) is
repaired or reset, the push to reset button on the front of the Alarm Module is used to
clear the alarm condition. Multiple Alarm Modules may be used to verify the operation of
separate actuation circuits
Figure 7 - PN. 830002 Alarm Test Module Figure 8 - Alarm Test Module dimensions
The Alarm Module is polarized as positive #2, negative #1. The connector is a Deutsch
DTM06-2S connector which mates to a Deutsch DTM04-2P at the SDRP Actuation
Cable.

d. Manual Release Toggle Switch part no. 830003
The Manual Release Switch PN 830003 provides a manual means of actuating the
SDRP control panel. Both Automatic Fire Detection and an NFPA recommended manual
means of system actuation are provided by the SDRP panel. The Manual Release
Switch uses a rugged, proven MIL-26482 metal shell connector to link the manual switch
to the SDRP panel manual release input circuit. The normally open toggle switch used
with the Manual Release Switch is protected by a labeled and latching toggle guard and
stainless steel protective bracket. The powder coated aluminum enclosure is fully potted
and environmentally sealed against water intrusion to IP67 standards. The Manual
Release Switch is electrically supervised by the SDRP panel for Normal, Trouble and
Fire conditions.

e. Linear Thermal Detection (various part numbers)
Figure 11 - Linear Thermal Wire
Linear thermal wire allows for continuous thermal monitoring of wide coverage areas.
Field wiring connecting the SDRP to linear thermal wire allows an electrical current to
flow through the detection circuit, through an End of Line device completing a loop back
to the SDRP. If a Fire occurs, the outer and inner insulating jackets of the linear thermal
wire melt allowing the individual conductors of the linear thermal wire to electrically “short”
together. This change in electrical resistance is interpreted by the SDRP as a Fire
condition. The SDRP sends an electrical signal to the Stat-X generator(s) automatically
discharging the system. Linear thermal wire is available with alarm temperature ratings
of 135oF, 155oF, 190oF, 220oF, 280oF and 356oF and must be terminated with PN 830007
EOL.

12
f. Spot Thermal Detection (various part numbers)
Figure 12 - Spot Thermal Sensor
Spot thermal detectors allow for continuous thermal monitoring of limited coverage
areas. Field wiring connecting the SDRP to spot thermal sensors wired in parallel allow
an electrical current to flow through the detection circuit, through an end of line device
completing a loop back to the SDRP. If a fire occurs, the normally open contacts in the
spot thermal close. This change in electrical resistance is interpreted by the SDRP as a
fire condition. The SDRP sends an electrical signal to the Stat-X generator(s) which
causes a system discharge. Spot thermal detectors are available with alarm temperature
ratings of 135oF and 194oF and must be terminated with PN 830007 EOL. The spot
thermal detectors are rated for a variety of environments including Vertical Interior,
Vertical All Weather, Vertical ½” Conduit and Explosion Proof.

g. Detection End of Line (EOL) device PN 830007
Figure 13 –470k ohm End of Line device
Class B detection circuits require a resistor to be placed in series in the circuit. The end
of line device (EOL) PN 830007 provides a series resistance of 470k ohms. The EOL
consists of a two position Deutsch connector with an over molded 470k ohm resistor.
The EOL provides a high resistance closed loop to each of the SDRP panel’s two
detection circuits. A break or open in the circuit indicates a Trouble condition to the
SDRP. A detection circuit closure of approximately 100 ohms indicates a fire or over
heat condition to the SDRP.

h. Detection Zone Field Wiring
Field wiring used to connect between the SDRP and each spot thermal detector must be at
a minimum UL Listed Plenum wire, 18 awg. Parallel field wiring is used between detectors.
Detection field wiring must be protected in emt/conduit between each detector.
A terminal strip connection may be used if the connection is made inside of a
watertight/mechanically protected housing or enclosure.

i. Actuation Zone Field Wiring
Figure 14 - Sample Actuation Circuit Wiring
•Field wiring used to connect between the SDRP and each Stat-X generator must be at a
minimum UL Listed Plenum wire, 18 awg. series field wiring is used between generators
which is easily supervised by the SDRP. Parallel field wiring is acceptable but must be
protected in emt/conduit as individual Stat-X generators are not supervised by the
SDRP.
•Wiring connections must be secure to deliver electrical energy to each Stat-X generator.
The ideal connection is a soldered connection using a no clean, non-corrosive solder,
and flux. Wire surfaces must be clean prior to soldering.
•A terminal strip connection may be used if the connection is made inside of a
watertight/mechanically protected housing or enclosure.
