Fire alarm door relay. Gamewell fci silent knight firelite notifier siemens and est edwards are just a few name brand examples. This video demonstrates the 24 volt auxilliary fire alarm relay. The siemens rpr 1 remote polarized is an optional accessory for a fire alarm system control unit. We can use a relay to drop power to the electric lock or use an ip device that drops power using the network connection or add a power control box that drops power when the fire.
The intelligent fire alarm relay can only be used on intelligent fire alarm systems and is made specifically to work with particular brands of fire alarm systems. Then the auxiliary relay takes the voltage spike and the fire alarm control relay only has to turn off the auxiliary relay. The intelligent fire alarm relay. When a heat sensor smoke detector or some other means detects such a fire the fire alarm must have the capability to disconnect operating power from the lock mechanism thus.
This unit allows the fire alarm system control unit to provide emergency control of other systems in the building such as air handling systems door control devices smoke control systems or other functions required by the local code and or local authority.
