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
