BT-XF Fire Communicator and Controller

Features

  • Narrowband radio communication with optional fallback to Hardwire lines with any of the D-21 Fire Management Systems
  • Narrowband radio is FCC certified for narrowband operation and meets the requirements of the NTIA (National Telecommunications and Information Administration) Manual of Regulations and Procedures for Federal Frequency Management
  • Provides automatic and manual control of local or remote devices such as turning on pumps based on timed events, input from a fire alarm control panel, or manually activated from the D-21 (Additional components/etc. may be required)
  • Provides eight relay driver outputs and four supervised zone inputs:
  • Eight onboard open-collector relay driver outputs can connect to the BT-X relay board or to relay coils that remotely control equipment such as pump activation inputs, HVAC dampers, lighting, door openers, runway barriers, and gates.
  • Four supervised fire zone inputs for connection to fire detection and monitoring devices located within 15 feet of the BT-XF; these are supervised for open (trouble), short (alarm), single-ground fault, and double-ground fault conditions
  • Four zone LEDs (one for each zone) reflect the condition of the zones: trouble, alarm, or normal on BT-X main board
  • Status LEDs reflect the status of the BT-XF: general alarm, general trouble, system fault, in-communication, carrier detect, transmit, primary power, battery boost charge, and battery float charge on BT-X main board
  • Supports up to 7 zone expansion backplanes into which fire expansion cards can be plugged (3 in single enclosure; 7 in double enclosure)
  • Each zone expansion card provides four zone inputs and eight relay outputs for connection to local or remotely located devices
  • Each expansion card has five LEDs: the PWR LED indicates power is being supplied to the card; the remaining four LEDs indicate the status of the four zone inputs
  • Each BT-XF can support up to 60 zones and up to 40 relay outputs that may be controlled from the D-21 Management System
  • One selectable RS-422/RS-485 port for communication with peripheral equipment or connection to a local access controller.
  • One RS-232 port used to program the BT-XF via connection to a laptop computer
  • 115 or 230 Vac power (50/60 Hz) monitored with automatic switchover to backup battery power that provides standby power; the number of hours depends on the battery
  • Self test, stuck transmitter disconnect, reset, acknowledge, and battery reconnect switches
  • Local audible alert
  • Real-time clock and calendar
  • 1/2 Mb of program memory
  • 1/2 Mb of non-volatile data storage
  • Fits in a variety of enclosures; the enclosure size depends upon how many expansion cards are needed
  • Factory Mutual approved
