Central Station Horizontal
The Central Station Horizontal combines three separate switch assemblies into one complete panel to simplify installation and wiring near the Fire Alarm Control Panel. It features a horizontal orientation, which is particularly suitable for installations where low-profile placement is essential. This orientation is advantageous in settings like fire control rooms or equipment closets, where horizontal alignment maximizes available space without compromising accessibility or functionality.
The Central Station Disconnect switch enables the disconnection of the FACP from reporting any Alarm or Trouble condition to the city, which allows for testing and maintenance of the Fire Alarm System.
› When switched to the “DISCONNECTED” position, a white pilot light illuminates, indicating the panel’s disconnection status.
› Activating the City Tie Trouble Bell triggers an audible alarm, which can be muted using the adjacent City Tie Trouble Station.
The Fire Alarm Trouble Bell and City Tie Trouble Bell stations function in the same manner.
› In the “BELL NORMAL” position, the “BELL TEST” option activates the bell. When a trouble occurs, the bell sounds.
› Transitioning the toggle to “BELL SILENCE” silences the bell and activates the “BELL SILENCED” indicator light.
› Upon resolution of the trouble, the LED deactivates, and a ring back sounds until the “BELL SILENCE” switch is returned to its original position.
