Warnings
General
The RAPID RESPONSE Residential Dry
Pipe System described herein must be
installed and maintained by qualified
personnel in compliance with this doc-
ument, and with the applicable stan-
dards of the National Fire Protection
Association, in addition to the require-
ments of any other authorities having
jurisdiction. Failure to do so may impair
the performance of this device.
Owner Responsibility
Owners are responsible for maintain-
ing their fire protection system and
devices in proper operating condition
and in compliance with all applicable
standards and requirements. The in-
stalling contractor or sprinkler manu-
facturer should be contacted with any
questions.
Do NOT Disconnect Batteries or Turn
Off AC Power to Quiet Unwanted
Alarms.
The Model RCP-1 Panel will not oper-
ate (that is, release water or energize
alarms) if AC power is not connect-
ed, has failed, or has been interrupt-
ed for any reason AND the battery is
disconnected, drained, or improperly
connected.
Household Fire Alarm System
The use of an automatic sprinkler sys-
tem does not allow for omission of a
“Household Fire Alarm System” in-
stalled per NFPA 72. The Model RCP-1
Panel is not intended to be used as part
of a “Household Fire Alarm System”.
Electrical Hazard
Disconnect electrical field power when
making any internal adjustments or re-
pairs. Failure to do so may result in per-
sonal injury. Servicing should be per-
formed by qualified personnel.
Static Hazard
Static electricity can damage com-
ponents. Therefore, qualified person-
nel must be grounded before opening
components, installing components,
and prior to installation. Keep compo-
nents wrapped in anti-static material at
all times.
Radio Frequency Energy
This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy,
and if not installed and used in accor-
dance with this technical data sheet,
may cause interference to radio com-
munications. This equipment has been
tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class A computing device
pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC
Rules, that are designed to provide rea-
sonable protection against such inter-
ference when operated in a commer-
cial environment. However, operation
of this equipment in a residential area
may cause interference, in which case
the user, at their own expense, will be
required to take whatever measure may
be required to correct the interference.
System Re-Acceptance Test
To ensure proper operation, this prod-
uct must be retested by qualified per-
sonnel in accordance with the Care and
Maintenance section after any modifi-
cation, repair, or adjustment. Retesting
is required to assure that the system is
operating as intended.
Technical
Data
Approvals
The Model RCP-1 Residential Con-
trol Panel is UL Listed for use in res-
idential dry pipe sprinkler systems
installed in one and two-family dwell-
ings and mobile homes per NFPA 13D
when installed in accordance with this
document.
The Model 4004R Household Fire
Warning Unit Subassembly (Electronic
Control) installed within the Model RCP-
1 cabinet is UL and C-UL Listed.
Maximum Water Pressure
175 psi (12,1 bar)
Friction Loss
Refer to Graph A on Page 3.
Input Voltage
120 VAC, 60 Hz, 4 A
Battery Backup
Two 8.0 amp-hour 12 VDC batteries in
series provides a minimum of 48 hours
of standby and a minimum of 15 min-
utes of alarm/system release. The 15
minutes of alarm/system release pro-
vides a 150% safety factor as com-
pared to the 10-minute requirement of
NFPA 13D.
The battery size is pre-calculated
based on a maximum 1A rating for
NAC1 (Notication Appliance Circuit
-Horns), and a maximum 0.25A rating
for auxiliary devices. The battery back-
up does not provide power to the air
compressor in the event of primary 120
VAC power failure.
Battery Charger
Backup batteries provide a 48-hour
standby and 15-minute alarm/system
release. Batteries automatically re-
charge within 24 hours.
Depleted Battery Operation
The system monitors the battery volt-
age and indicates a trouble status when
the battery is outside its normal range.
There are two battery trouble levels:
Low Battery and Depleted Battery.
When Low Battery is detected, the sys-
tem sounds the tone-alert (piezo) and
ashes the trouble LED. The event must
be accepted by pressing the ACCEPT
SIGNAL KEY. If discharge continues
further, and the batteries reach the de-
pleted state, once again the tone-alert
activates and the trouble LED ashes.
Initiating Device Circuit (IDCs)
IDC1 is internally wired to the system’s
low pressure switch, and no other de-
vices are to be connected to IDC1.
IDC2, IDC3, and IDC4 are spares and
are not to be utilized.
Notification Appliance Circuit
(NACs)
NAC1 is rated at 1 A. NAC2 is a spare
and is not to be utilized.
Notification Appliances
NFPA 13D does not require the instal-
lation of a waterow alarm (notication
appliance device).
If needed, notication appliances can
be installed to indicate release of the
Model RCP-1 Panel.
When installed, notication appliances
must be installed in accordance with
the applicable requirements of NFPA
72. Per the requirements of NFPA 72,
re warning equipment for dwelling
units shall provide a sound that is au-
dible in all occupiable dwelling areas.
Auxiliary Device Power Supply
The Auxiliary Device Power Supply is
rated at 0.25A. If desired and where
the system is not otherwise monitored
by a central control station, the Auxil-
iary Device Power Supply can be used
to power a remote visual signal of an
alarm, supervisory, or trouble condition
through use of the relay contacts (Figure
5). This arrangement is especially con-
venient when the Model RCP-1 Panel is
located in an area where its Tone Alert
is not readily heard or the Operator In-
terface is not readily apparent. The cir-
cuitry, while operable by battery backup,
is not a supervised circuit.
LED/Keypad Operator Interface

Tone Alert (Piezo)
• On trouble conditions, the tone-
alert sounder is on steady to indicate
that a trouble has occurred. It turns
off when ACCEPT SIGNAL KEY is
pressed.
• On alarm conditions, the tone-alert
pulses until the ACCEPT SIGNAL
KEY is pressed.
Environmental
This equipment operates normally
within the temperature range of 32°F
to 120°F (0°C to 49°C), inclusive. This
equipment operates normally under
non-condensing humidity conditions
up to 93% humidity at 90°F (32°C).

Assembly
The Manifold Assembly (Figure 2) is of
brass and bronze construction.
Trip Ratio
When applying a water delivery cal-
culation program for determining that
the water delivery will not exceed 15
seconds, the trip ratio of the Model
RCP-1 Panel must be entered into the
program. The trip ratio for the Model
RCP-1 Panel is determined by dividing
the available static water supply pres-
sure by 7 psi. The use of 7 psi is based
on the tolerance of the system alarm
trip/release pressure, where 7 psi is the
lowest potential trip pressure. For ex-
ample if the available static water sup-
ply pressure is 30 psi, the trip ratio is 30
divided by 7 (that is, 4.3:1). For an avail-
able 130 psi static water supply, the trip
ratio is 130 divided by 7 (that is, 18.6:1).
Operation
The system is automatically maintained
at a normal system air pressure of 10 to
14 psi (0,7 to 1,0 bar) via the Air Com-
pressor Switch/Air Compressor (Fig-
ure 2). In the standby condition, water
is prevented from entering the system
piping until the Solenoid Valve in the
Manifold Assembly is opened in re-
sponse to the electronic control.
The operation sequence is listed below.
• The normal standby condition is AC
green light ON.
• Closure of Main Control Valve, clo-
sure of System Control Valve, or a
high system pressure condition re-
sults in a supervisory condition
(SPM1).
During a Supervisory Condition, the
Yellow SUPERVISORY LED ashes
and the tone-alert sounds steady.
After accepting, the tone-alert si-
lences and the Yellow SUPERVISO-
RY LED stays ON until the condition
clears.
• Opening of a sprinkler results in a
low air condition of less than nom-
inally 8 psi (0,6 bar) resulting in an
alarm condition ON IDC1, opening of
the Solenoid Valve (RAC1), and op-
eration of alarm notication devices
(NAC1).
During an Alarm Condition, the Red
ALARM LED, corresponding to Zone
or SPM in alarm, ashes and the
tone-alert pulses. After accepting,
the tone-alert silences and the Red
ALARM LED stays ON until the alarm
condition clears.

Operator
Interface
The Model RCP-1 Panel uses LEDs and
KEYs as its primary means of display-
ing status information and controlling
the system. It allows the occupants to
monitor the status of the Model RCP-1
Panel and its circuits.
The LEDs are located along the left
and right sides of the Operator Inter-
face (Figure 3). Three KEYs are located
along the lower edge of the Operator
Interface.
LEDs
• ALARM LEDs
A ashing red LED adjacent to the
SPRINKLER (IDC1) indicates an
alarm.
• TROUBLE LEDs
A ashing yellow Trouble LED for one
of the IDCs, NACs, or RACs indi-
cates the presence of a circuit break
or ground within a system point, or
somewhere in the wiring between the
control panel and one of its points.
• SUPERVISORY LED
A ashing yellow SUPERVISORY LED
indicates a problem with the condi-
tion of the sprinkler system controls
or normal status (for example, closed
valve position for Main Control Valve,
closed valve position for System
Control Valve, or high air condition).
• SYSTEM TROUBLE LED
When a TROUBLE condition occurs,
the SYSTEM TROUBLE LED ash-
es until accepted. When accepted, it
changes from ashing to steady.
• AC POWER LED
When lit steady, the Green AC
POWER LED indicates that the Elec-
tronic Control of the Model RCP-1
Panel is receiving AC power that is
within the specied range.
If the LED is not lit and the Panel is
still functioning, the Electronic Con-
trol is using battery power to oper-
ate. The cause for loss of AC Power
should be determined and correct-
ed. The system is in a normal stand-
by condition when only the Green AC
POWER LED is ON.
• SYSTEM RELEASED LED
The Red SYSTEM RELEASED LED
turns on steady when the RAC circuit
is activated. Activation of the RAC cir-
cuit energizes the Solenoid Valve to
permit water to enter the sprinkler
system piping. RAC1 is utilized, and
RAC2 is spare.
• EARTH FAULT LED
The Yellow EARTH FAULT LED turns
on steady when there is a wiring fault
from circuit to Earth.
• Lamp (LED) Test
A lamp (LED) test can be performed
by pressing and holding the AC-
CEPT SIGNAL KEY for a duration
of ve seconds. Performing a lamp
test lights all LEDs on the system
and veries that all system LEDs are
functioning.

KEYS
• ACCEPT SIGNAL KEY
The system LEDs (ALARM, SUPER-
VISORY, TROUBLE) ash to indi-
cate the presence of an unaccepted
alarm, supervisory, or trouble condi-
tion somewhere in the system. The
ACCEPT SIGNAL KEY acknowledg-
es the presence of an alarm, super-
visory, or trouble condition.
By momentarily pressing the AC-
CEPT SIGNAL KEY, the ashing LED
turns steady. The ACCEPT SIGNAL
KEY is used to acknowledge every
abnormal status present in the sys-
tem. For example, if there are two
red alarms and three yellow troubles,
the ACCEPT SIGNAL KEY must be
pressed ve times.
The Panel’s tone-alert turns off when
all abnormal conditions are accepted.
• SIGNAL SILENCE KEY
Pressing the SIGNAL SILENCE KEY
silences the audible notication de-
vices (horns). The Yellow ALARM SI-
LENCED LED lights to indicate that
an alarm is still active even if the au-
dible alarms have been silenced.
• SYSTEM RESET KEY
Pressing the SYSTEM RESET KEY
directs the Panel to reset all at-
tached devices and clear all accept-
ed alarms, troubles, and supervisory
conditions. All alarms must rst be
accepted via the ACCEPT SIGNAL
KEY and all devices must be reset
(that is, normal system air pressure
is re-established).
Note: After pressing the SYSTEM
RESET KEY, the panel requires ap-
proximately fifteen seconds to clear.
In Case of
Supervisory/
Trouble
Condition
Step 1. Verify that a re condition does
not exist.
Step 2. Close the Main Control Valve
to prevent inadvertent water ow into
the system.
Step 3. Acknowledge the superviso-
ry/trouble notication by momentarily
pressing the ACCEPT SIGNAL KEY.
Doing so silences the tone-alert.
Step 4. Determine and correct cause
of supervisory/trouble notication, for
example:
• Loss of primary 120 VAC power
• Low battery condition
• High air pressure
• System or main control valve closure
Step 5. Reset the system as soon as
possible.
In Case of
Alarm Condition
Step 1. Verify that a re condition ex-
ists and take appropriate action (that
is, evacuate the building and call re
department).
Step 2. After the re is extinguished,
reset the system.
If a re condition does not exist and pri-
or to resetting the system, silence the
alarms as follows:
• First, momentarily press the ACCEPT
SIGNAL KEY a sufcient number of
times to stop the tone-alert.
• Second, momentarily press the SIG-
NAL SILENCE KEY.
System
Resetting
Step 1. Use the ACCEPT SIGNAL KEY
to accept every abnormal status pres-
ent in the system.
For example, when two red ALARM
and three yellow TROUBLE conditions
are present, the ACCEPT SIGNAL KEY
must be pressed ve times. The Panel’s
tone-alert turns off when all abnormal
conditions are accepted.
Step 2. Silence the alarms by pressing
the SIGNAL SILENCE KEY.
Step 3. Close the Main Control Valve.
Step 4. Place the Air Compressor Dis-
connect Switch to the OFF position.
Step 5. Open the Drain and Flow Test
Valves.
Step 6. Replace operated sprinklers.
Step 7. After the system drains com-
pletely, close the Drain and Flow Test
Valves.
Step 8. Place the Air Compressor Dis-
connect Switch to the ON position and
allow the system to automatically rees-
tablish its normal air pressure of 10 to
14 psi.
Step 9. Reset the Electronic Control by
pressing the SYSTEM RESET KEY.
Wait approximately fteen seconds for
the Electronic Control to clear.
A supervisory signal will remain be-
cause the Main Control Valve is still
closed.
Press the ACCEPT SIGNAL KEY to ac-
cept the supervisory signal and silence
the tone-alert.
Step 10. Slowly open the Main Control
Valve. (Opening the Control Valve too
quickly may result in activation of the
pressure switch.)
The supervisory signal should clear and
the system is now set for service.
NOTICE
After pressing the SYSTEM RESET
KEY, the panel requires approximately
fifteen seconds to clear.

Care and
Maintenance
Before closing a fire protection system
control valve for inspection or mainte-
nance work on the fire protection sys-
tem that it controls, obtain permission
to shut down the effected fire protec-
tion system from the proper authorities
and notify all personnel who may be af-
fected by this action.
The following inspection/test proce-
dures will result in operation of the as-
sociated alarms. Notify the proper au-
thorities and advise those responsible
for monitoring proprietary and/or cen-
tral station alarms.
After placing a fire protection system
in service, notify proper authorities and
advise those responsible for monitor-
ing proprietary and/or central station
alarms.
The following inspection/test procedure
for the RAPID RESPONSE Model RCP-
1 Residential Control Panel must be
performed as indicated, in addition to
any specic requirements of the NFPA.
Any impairment must be immediately
corrected.
The owner responsible for the inspec-
tion, testing, and maintenance of their
re protection system and devices in
compliance with this document, as
well as with the applicable standards
of the National Fire Protection Associa -
tion (e.g., NFPA 25), in addition to the
requirements of any authority having
jurisdiction. The installing contractor or
product manufacturer should be con-
tacted relative to any questions.
Automatic sprinkler systems are recom-
mended to be inspected, tested, and
maintained by a qualied Inspection
Service in accordance with local re-
quirements and/or national codes.
Inspection/Test Procedure
The Model RCP-1 Panel can be in-
spected and tested without having to
ow water into the system piping. The
inspection and testing, in accordance
with the requirements of NFPA 25, must
be performed annually.
General Inspection/Test
Step 1. Verify the Air Pressure Gauge
indicates a system air pressure of 10
to 14 psi.
Step 2. Verify the Operator Interface of
the Electronic Control only indicates a
green light for AC Power.
Step 3. Open and then close the Flow
Test Valve. The Water Supply Gauge
should drop to a previously noted re-
sidual pressure and then return to the
normal static pressure.
Step 4. Perform a lamp test by press-
ing and holding the ACCEPT SIGNAL
KEY for a duration of ve seconds. Ver-
ify that all system LEDs are functioning.
Trip Test
Step 1. Close the System Control Valve
and accept the supervisory alarm at the
Operator Interface by pressing the AC-
CEPT SIGNAL KEY.
Step 2. Partially open the Drain Valve
to relieve air pressure. When the sys-
tem trips (releases), completely open
the Drain Valve.
• Note that the Operator Interface
IDC1 indicates alarm when the air
pressure gauge indicates nominal-
ly 8 psi.
• Note that the Operator Interface indi-
cates system released.
• Note that water is discharging from
the drain line.
Step 3. Reset the Model RCP-1 Pan-
el following the appropriate resetting
instructions.
SYSTEM PROGRAMMING MODE
Check
If a malfunction of the Electronic Con-
trol is suspected, verify the pre-pro-
gramming of the panel as follows:
