DESCRIPTION The Chemetronics Micro l-EV Control Panel brings the latest state-of-the-art advances to automatic fire suppression systems. It is designed for Halon 1301, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, pre-action and deluge sprinkler systems. Widely Approved. Micro 1 -EV is listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., and Factory Mutual Research. In addition, it has been submitted to all major international agencies. For the latest approval information, contact Chemetron Fire Systems. Versatile and Cost Efficient. Micro 1 -EV is designed to meet todays pressing need for more sophisticated protection in the face of growing cost limitations. As a result, it makes the latest in fire suppression systems available not only to better meet highly specialized needs, but also to provide protection for hazards where cost containment is a prime consideration. The Latest in Computer Control. Based on a microprocessor, Micro 1-EV opens a new world of control opportunities - all built in - providing a wide variety of alarm and system activation
functions. The computer approach, plus all-solidstate internal circuitry assures the latest in dependability Programming Simplified. Advanced microprocessor technology permits each of the many variations to be set up with a simple menu-driven keypad entry system - no need to spend time and money adding modules or wiring, or setting bit switches.
Compact Space Saver. Chemetronics Micro l-EV puts all this into a compact enclosure which can be semi-flush or surfacemounted to provide the most technologically advanced releasing panel available.
Configuration
The Micro 1 -EV provides single-zone, cross-zone, sequential and cross-sequential verification detection. In the case of the latter, two separate outputs are available to annunciate first and second zone alarms. The alarm circuit can also be programmed to provide a steady signal for first-zone alarm condition and a pulsing (march time code) signal for the second zone or manual alarm. Thus, a single device can be used to annunciate separate alarm conditions. Three independently supervised and timed solenoid output circuits are provided. Both predischarge and discharge timers are field-adjustable with a continuous numeric display on readout while adjusting.
Manual Actuation
The Micro l-EV provides for instantaneous or timed solenoid release upon manual activation. The manual circuits override all programmable abort modes.
tivated, the discharge can be delayed indefinitely; but if the circuit is not activated prior to a second alarm initiation, the abort circuit becomes inactive. In either case, the Micro l-EV may be reset any time by depressing the appropriate key on the keypad. Three other abort modes are available; however, they do not meet current U.L. standards.
System Protection
Ground fault indication is provided on all circuitry. Audible and solenoid circuits have short circuit indication. All output circuits are individually fused and current-limited to protect on-board components. Supervised batteries, built-in battery charger and transfer circuitry, provide alternate power for system operation in the event of brownout or total AC power interruption. Batteries are sized to provide a minimum of 24 hours service. Larger batteries can be installed to provide power for longer duration.
Auxiliary Output
Two convertible 24 VDC circuits are provided. These can be programmed to activate on a first zone alarm or a second zone alarm, or upon initiation of a discharge timer. The output circuits are fitted with conventional relay sockets, each capable of accepting a relay with a Form C contact. The sockets will also accept auxiliary output circuit boards which can be used to supervise and power remote relays.
l-EV
... all youll ever need for a singlehazard fire suppression system
The new Micro 1 -EV Control Panel takes advantage of the latest in computer technology using very large-scale integrated microprocessors. Result: greater flexibility and stability providing a far broader range of programming opportunities - more options for custom system design. Provides Wide Variety of Programming Options The new Micro 1 -EV offers unprecedented new freedom for custom-designing a system. Options include the following and many more ... Simplifies Programming, Saves Start-up Time Bit switches and potentiometers are eliminated. Programming is accomplished through keypad entries which allow access to all program variations. After input of the proper access code, menu-driven programming simplifies configuration for the specific hazard. All program options are stored in non-volatile memory, so no reprogramming is required when both AC and DC power sources are removed.
Tells System Status at a Glance A space-age keypad and Alpha-Numeric display provide critical information at the touch of a key. The display tells in plain English whether the system is working properly - or, if not, where the problem is.
Permits Alarm Recall The sequence of events relating to an alarm condition are displayed by keying in a code. The display provides a code which can be used to indicate the cause of the alarm. Provides Increased Dependability Tamper-resistant field programming is accomplished by the use of access codes forall system programming functions. Output circuits have been beefed up: they include separate fuses and current-limiting devices to guard against catastrophic failures during installation and operation. Includes Battery Back-up A battery back-up power supply automatically takes over in case of a brownout or power failure. Saves Engineering and Installation Time Major components are contained in an attractive metal enclosure. Wiring terminations are simplified by the use of clearly marked terminal blocks. Single PC board design eliminates wiring from module-tomodule, which is difficult, time-consuming and often confusing.
The digital readout shall display the trip level and standby current of the detection loops, as well as predischarge and discharge timer settings, when the appropriate keys are depressed. Class B (2-wire) supervision shall be provided for automatic detection, manual station, external alarm and releasing devices. The detection circuits shall accommodate products-of-combustion, optical, thermal, and open-contact devices. A maximum of 60 Chemetronics products-ofcombustion detectors and/or any number of thermal devices or manual stations may be installed in one detection loop. Two Class B supervised auxiliary inputs must be provided for supervision of products-of-combustion detectors, or contact-type devices such as pressure switches or tamper switches. The circuits shall initiate a trouble or alarm condition. A Class B supervised manual station input shall be capable of initiating an immediate or delayed agent discharge. A Class B supervised abort switch shall be capable of being programmed in accordance with the guidelines of the insurance underwriter or authority having jurisdiction.
Provision shall be made to accommodate two individually supervised polarity-reversible alarm outputs. Each shall have a capacity of 1 amp at 24 VDC. Annunciation of ground fault and short circuit conditions shall be provided. Each circuit shall be individually protected by a supervised overcurrent device. Three individually supervised solenoid circuits shall be provided. They shall have a maximum capacity of 75 amp at 24 VDC, and shall befitted with appropriate fuses to protect against damage from electrical sources. Short circuit detection and ground fault indication shall also be provided to assure proper operation of the release circuits at all times. A Form C trouble and alarm relay contact shall be provided. In addition, two programmable auxiliary outputs shall permit a choice of remote or on-board relays. All dry contacts shall be rated to 5 amps at 28 VDC/120 VAC. A dedicated 120 VAC, 60HZ commercial power source shall be supplied to the panel. It shall be converted to 24 VDC by internal circuitry.
