PDD-8PCI

Distribution Module with Fire Trigger

DC Power Distribution with Supervised Fire Interface module Distributed Power Control Interface for Fire, Acess, HVAC, Elevator, and Security

The PDD-8PCI power distribution control interface converts a main non-power limited DC power source to 8 class II power-limited outputs that can be controlled by a (FACP) Fire Alarm Control Panel. Each output can be selectively set (J1-J8) to turn ON or to Turn OFF, Trigger disabled always ON when triggered by the panel. The FACP or other control system can interface to the PDD-8PCI with either of two or both supervised trigger inputs. One trigger is activated with a reverse polarity voltage from a FACP. This trigger is fully isolated with an optical isolator. The other trigger is an (EOL) 2.2K End Line Resister input which will accept a (N/O) Normally Open switch or a (N/C) Normally Closed switch.

When triggered, the Trigger Transfer Relay removes power from the NORM + buss and transfers it to the TRIG + buss. Jumpers J1-J8 determine which buss each output is connected to. The triggered form C contacts also drop off normal when triggered and the Red (TRG) LED turns on.  These contacts can be used to daisy chain other PDD-9ST, latch, or provide feedback to a system.

The Trouble Form C Relay drops off Normal if any one of the PTC circuit breakers is tripped, or main power/fuse is lost. The Green (TRB) LED is ON during normal operation, It goes off with trouble. All three relays are Fail-Safe, energized in the normal condition.

Each output has a Green LED that is on when the associated output is ON.Typical applications for a Fire Alarm System would include adding remote Bells and anunciators, closing dampers, turning off HVAC fans, unlocking fail secure and fail safe doors, and / or returning elevators to first floor. The installation instructions illustrate these applications.

The PDD-8PCI is available as a module or mounted in an enclosure with any of our DC Power Supplies.
