4.0 AdvantageDC Control Panel Operation
4.1 AdvantageDC Field Wiring and Control Panel Functions
Power Input Circuits
Power to the control panel is provided by a 24 VDC output power supply as primary
power. A secondary/backup power source is supplied by a 9 vdc rechargeable NiMH
battery located inside of the control panel. Both power sources are supervised.
Expected operating life of the 9 vdc battery under normal operating conditions is one
year assuming no extended power failure conditions have occurred. After a two-year
period, the backup battery must be replaced. Expected shelf life for the 9 vdc battery is
1 year. Ensure the battery is recharged prior to replacement. A date code label
provided is used to indicate the installation and expiration of the battery. This label is
installed and updated at the time of system commissioning and during any battery
maintenance.
If primary power is lost, a Fault condition is displayed after a 20 second delay. Power is
automatically transferred to the backup battery. No operator intervention is required.
The Power Fault LED will turn ON, pulse the local audible buzzer and will transfer a
Fault relay if programmed. The AdvantageDC will continue to provide fire detection and
suppression while operating on the secondary battery for a minimum of 24-hours after
the loss of 24 vdc primary power.
Initiating (Detection) Circuits Operation
Default detection settings are programmed such that any detection input will actuate all
actuation outputs. Additional detection/actuation mapping options are available via PC
or Bluetooth based configuration menus. Options for cross-zoning, individual detection
to actuation and the ability to disable individual detection and actuation zones are
available.See section 7.0 for offline PC or SmartDevice programming information.
Two automatic detection circuits and a single dedicated manual release circuit are
classified as Class B Style 4 with a 470K end-of-line device providing circuit supervisory
resistance. A fault condition occurs if the circuit resistance drop in resistance or
increases in resistance. A Fire condition is indicated when contact closure in a
detection circuit drops in resistance to a predetermined fire detection level.
Any normally open fire detecting device (linear thermal wire, spot thermal sensors,
separately powered relay base smoke detectors, etc.) may be used when terminated
with a 470K end-of-line device provided with the control panel. Refer to individual
sensor manufacturer instruction for installation, operation, and maintenance of the
sensor. While the contacts of a smoke detector may be monitored by one of the Class B
detection zones, secondary power source must be provided for separately powered
relay base smoke detectors.

Product part no. 830049 AdvantageDC Dual Zone Fire Control Panel
Manual part no 650.830049 rev. June 13, 2022
Actuation Circuits Operation
Two actuation circuits are each capable of actuating up to six Stat-X© aerosol generators
or similar devices on each of two separate zones. Power to discharge the actuators is
delivered from a bank of super capacitors. Upon Fire detection, the control panel
provides a signal to actuate from the fully charged supercapacitor bank. Discharge is
immediate with no capacitor charging delay. Actuators are best wired in series
Auxiliary Supervised Circuit Operation
An auxiliary normally open pair of contacts are available for use. This input is normally
closed and opens in alarm. Pressure switches, water alarms and door closures are
some examples of auxiliary supervised devices. A Fault condition occurs if the auxiliary
circuit changes from closed to open.If an open condition occurs, a Fault condition is
annunciated via the yellow Service System LED. The auxiliary function is programmed
to be OFF by default. Offline PC or SmartDevice programming may be used to change
the auxiliary contact setting to ON.
Abort Function Supervised Circuit Operation
An Abort function switch interrupts the automatic detection/automatic actuation process
if a discharge time delay is programmed. The Abort function contacts are supervised via
a 470K end-of-line resistor. If the Abort Switch closes, the abort function will delay the
system discharge if a discharge has been programmed. The Abort function is
programmed to be OFF by default. Offline PC programming may be used to change the
Abort function to ON.
Manual release input overrides the Abort function.
Warning!
The Abort function serves to delay the discharge process and will not prevent a
discharge once a fire has been automatically detected. The Abort function serves to
allow evacuation of personnel if present, when a fire alarm has been detected.
Input-Output (I/O) Relay Operation
Multiple sets of optically isolated relay contacts are available for use as inputs and
outputs and are intended for use in controlling external relays or other annunciation
devices.
A single set of dedicated relay contacts are provided to allow for remote supervision of
the AdvantageDC by a remote fire alarm control panel (FACP). Dedicated FACP relay
contacts allow for an end-of-line resistor which can be monitored by a remote FACP.
NO-Fire and NC-Fault sets of contacts may be wired to a remote FACP. This allows the
remote FACP the ability monitor the status of the AdvantageDC for both Fault and Fire
conditions.
Other I/O’s consist of (2) separate optically isolated outputs which may be used for pre-
alarm and alarm indication. Output transfer from is adjustable in five second increments

Manual part no 650.830049 rev. June 13, 2022
from 0 to 30 seconds via offline PC or SmartDevice programming. Output control
contacts control may be mapped to individual detection inputs. Both sets of relay
contacts may be programmed for momentary transfer by pressing the front panel Reset
Switch. This function may be used for interrupting power to latching function initiating
devices (latching relay base smoke detectors). All I/O contact ratings are ½ amp at 30
VDC.

•Relay 3 – Normally Closed/Common
•Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) Fault – Fire Relay Contacts
Local Audible Buzzer Operation
A supervised local piezo buzzer is located on the control panel front cover. The buzzer
provides an audible alarm in the event of a Fire or Fault condition. A push button is
located on the inside of the control panel, which may be used to silence the audible
alarm. An LED indicator illuminates when the silence enable function is operated. The
silenced audible alarm will turn On if the Fire or Fault condition has not been cleared
AND after the audible has been silenced for six hours OR if a new Fault or Alarm
condition is detected. The alarm silence function cannot be engaged prior to an alarm
condition.
LED Visual Annunciation Operation
Visual LED indications are visible through a window on the hinged front cover. LED
indications are visible for:
•System Normal (green)
•Fire Alarm Detection Zone 1 (red)
•Fire Alarm Detection Zone 2 (red)
•Manual Release Fire Alarm (red)
•Fault Condition Service System LED (yellow)
•Battery Fault LED (yellow)
•Alarm Silence LED (yellow)
A key lock position is provided to prevent access and tampering to internal components
by unauthorized individuals. Upon opening the front cover, the Alarm Silence, System
Reset, Push-to-Test push buttons, and System Disable toggle switches may be
accessed.
The Alarm Silence push button only active when the audible alarm is ON. The audible
alarm cannot be pre-silenced.
The System Reset push button will clear all latched alarms and latched relay outputs
once the circuit causing the Alarm condition has been cleared and returned to Normal
Operation.
The Push-to-Test button will illuminate all LEDs and sound the audible alarm but will not
transfer relays.

Manual part no 650.830049 rev. June 13, 2022
Internal Clock
A real-time clock is present and should be set when the system is commissioned. The
clock is backed up by a supercapacitor, which may lose voltage if the control panel
remains unpowered for extended periods beyond a few days. The internal clock may be
set via PC or Bluetooth module connection to the circular front panel programming port.
See section 7 for programming instructions.
System Event Log
A system Event Log is used to capture non Normal conditions or other actions that occur
while the AdvantageDC is in operation. Events such as field wiring faults, system reset,
alarm silence, set clock, etc. are recorded. Events are time stamped and each event
description is identified. The Event Log is sequential with the most recent events listed
at the top of the log. The Event Log buffer can store 100 events. Oldest events are
replaced by the most recent events.
4.2 Normal Operation
AdvantageDC Startup Process
When the AdvantageDC panel is initially powered up or if the backup battery has been
replaced, the panel enters a startup mode which may consist of several minutes
depending on the state of internal capacitor charge..
Startup consists of a sequence of internal processes. The step in the startup process is
indicated by the front panel LEDs as follows ...
•Green LED ON for approximately 5 seconds – Begin boot loader mode
•All LEDs flash 2x – End of boot loader mode
•Green LED flashes quickly - Actuation capacitor bank is precharging
