Agent Release Solenoid Interface Modules

Pertronic

Solenoid Interface

Product Overview

Pertronic Solenoid Interfaces allow analogue addressable control modules and the Pertronic Agent Release Controller to activate and supervise a wide range of solenoids.

There are two groups of solenoid interfaces:

  • ARCSI, BUR-2509-10K, HIR-GDM-10K: For use with the Pertronic Extinguishing Agent Release Controller, the Pertronic Loop Relay (see note), and the Pertronic Multi-Function Loop Responder
  • ARCSI-MM, BUR-2509-47K, HIR-GDM-47K: For use with System Sensor modules such as the M500S or SC-6

These interfaces have end-of-line (EOL) resistors which allow reverse-polarity fault supervision systems to detect open-circuit faults including disconnected or open-circuit solenoids. The fault supervision system will also identify a short-circuit fault in the cabling between control module and solenoid interface, but not a short-circuit across the solenoid itself.

NOTES:
Usable current capacity is limited by the capacity of the control module’s relay output.
Pertronic Solenoid Interfaces are not suitable for solenoids with built-in bridge rectifiers or back emf diodes. A bridge rectifier or back emf diode may prevent the interface reliably detecting an open circuit fault in the solenoid. The solenoid interface incorporates appropriate back emf protection.
