3. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Viking Model B-1 Par-3 Panel is a
supervised, 24 Volt, microprocessor-
controlled Release Control Panel. The
panel is designed to operate up to two
electric release devices, (usually sole-
noid valves), in the release piping of
deluge or preaction systems. The panel
is available for use with either 120 VAC
or 230 VAC power supplies. A built-in
battery compartment holds two 12 Volt
batteries which are charged by an inter-
nal battery charger. Batteries are avail-
able to provide upto90 hoursof backup
power during AC power failure.
The Model B-1 panel can be used with
a wide range of compatible initiating de-
vices such as heat (includinglinear heat
detection systems such as Protectowire
Systems), photoelectric, ionization, and
smoke detectors.
A dip switch ’Function Selector’ allows
field programming for one of four possible
input/output combinations (see Table 1).
In fire conditions when an initiating de-
vice circuit (or predetermined combina-
tion of circuits) is energized, the panel
activates a combination of release de-
vicecircuitsandalarmcircuitsaccording
tothe’FunctionSelector’setting. Onthe
panel’s display board, the appropriate
Alarm, Trouble, and Supervisory LED’s
will flash until the event has been ac-
knowledged. After depressing the Tone
or Alarm Silence button, the LED will
remain steadily illuminated until the
panel is reset.

10. MAINTENANCE and
TESTING
NOTICE: The owner is responsible for
maintaining the fire protection system
and devices in proper operating condi-
tion. The Viking Model B-1 Release
Control Panel must be kept free of for-
eign matter and environmental condi-
tions that could impair it’s operation.
For minimum maintenance and inspec-
tion requirements, refer to the National
Fire Protection Association Pamphlet
that describes care and maintenance of
sprinkler systems. In addition, the
"Authority Having Jurisdiction" may
have additional maintenance, testing,
andinspectionrequirementswhichmust
be followed.
WARNING: Any system maintenance
that requires placing a control valve or
detection system out of service may
eliminate the fire protection capabilities
of that system. Prior to proceeding, no-
tify all Authorities Having Jurisdiction.
Consideration should be given to em-
ployment of a Fire Patrol in the affected
areas.
Tests
Prior to proceeding with tests:
A. verify that installation complies with
instructions in the Owners Manual
provided with the panel and the ap-
propriate VIKING FIELD WIRING
DIAGRAMS for the system used.

ing this test results in operation of the
Deluge Valve. Failure to close the main
water supply control valve will cause
water to flow into the sprinkler piping.
Caution! For Double-Interlocked sys-
tems, simultaneous operation of a de-
tector, andlowering of supervisory pres-
sure in the sprinkler piping will result in
operationoftheDelugeValve.Failureto
close the main water supply control
valve will cause water to flow into the
sprinkler piping.
Caution! Simultaneous operation of
both detection circuits on any system
utilizing cross-zone detection, will result
inoperationoftheDelugeValve. Failure
to close the main water supply control
valve will cause water to flow into the
sprinkler piping.
