AdvantageLi Dual Zone Control Panel Quick Overview
The AdvantageLi Dual Release Zone, Dual Battery Control Panel part no. 830030 is the result
of years of rugged mining, transit, and military electronic control panel evolution and design
experience. The AdvantageLi control panel uses lithium thionyl chloride batteries that operate
for up to one year on the primary battery and includes an identical secondary backup battery
as a UL required backup power source.
The AdvantageLi control panel can operate to protect a single fire detection and suppression
hazard or can provide up to two separate zones of fire detection and suppression. Two wire
Class B supervision is provided for detection, manual release, and auxiliary zones. The
AdvantageLi control panel supports spot thermal, linear thermal and relay base smoke
detectors on each of two detection input zones. The AdvantageLi control panel can be
programmed using a PC interface and cable to customize detection and releasing zone
mapping including cross zoning and auxiliary relay timing and operation. Lithium thionyl
chloride batteries are DOT approved for overnight shipping when not bulk packed.
Multiple auxiliary optically isolated relays provide up to 1/ amp switching capability and can
interface to auxiliary relay modules for additional switching and logic functions. The auxiliary
relay modules provide high current switching capability for solenoid operated gas valves,
remote fans, etc. A dedicated set of Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) contacts are provided,
which allow supervision of the control panel by remote FACP’s or other control devices. The
AdvantageLi panel is constructed using RoHS compliant materials and production methods
throughout.
A variety of detection input devices and remote annunciators are available. The AdvantageLi
control panel may be directly mounted, recessed, or assembled to a DIN rail installation.
Separate mounting bracket hardware is available.

.0 Before Using the AdvantageLi Control Panel
.1 AdvantageLi Control Panel Warnings and Precautions
Warning!
The AdvantageLi Control panel must be installed by a technician familiar with Fire Control
panel operation and who has been trained in the operation of the AdvantageLi control panel.
Warning!
The AdvantageLi control panel is designed to meet the requirements for special hazard
locations. This control panel will not comply with local authority requirements for a UL 864
listed control panel.
Warning!
The fire detection and suppression system shall be designed in accordance with the
requirements of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction and in accordance with all local and
national codes and ordinances.
Warning!
The Manual Release circuit will override the Abort Switch operation.
Caution!
The AdvantageLi actuation circuits must be routed inside of approved protective conduit to
prevent physical damage to the wiring. Actuation circuits must use 16-18 awg wire no
longer than 100 feet per circuit.
Notice
The AdvantageLi control panel is designed to meet the performance and operating standards
of UL864, which requires the use of AC main power and a rechargeable secondary power
source. The AdvantageLi control has been extensively tested over extended periods in
extreme environments using lithium thionyl chloride non-rechargeable batteries.
Notice
Prior to installation of the AdvantageLi control panel refer to NFPA 7 chapter 7 for
documentation requirements.
