1.0 DESCRIPTION
The 2412, 2414, & 2418 Fire Alarm Control Panels are protective signaling systems which feature modular
construction and installer programmable microprocessor technology.
m Panel Supervisory Features include: continuous internal testing; a CPU watchdog timer; and module
placement supervision.
m Operational Features include: alarm, supervisory, and trouble resound; fire drill mode; one man test
mode; lamp test; alarm silence inhibit; and automatic alarm silence.
m Programmable Options include: verified or non-verified alarm; waterflow with or without retard; and
supervisory Initiating Device Circuits (IDCs). Verified circuits support dry contact alarm initiating
devices when used with high impedance smoke detectors. Indicating Appliance Circuits (IACs) may be
programmed as silenceable or non-silenceable with continuous, March Time at 120 Strokes per
Minute (SPM), California, or temporal rates (Figure 3.3). The temporal rate meets the requirements of
the national emergency evacuation signal. Alarm silence/reset inhibit, automatic alarm silence, and off-
premise AC/brownout 6 hr. trouble delay timers are provided. Resettable power for 4-wire smoke
detectors is provided.
m
Hardware Options include an 2400-RCT Relay/City-Tie Module with provisions for municipal box,
reverse polarity and dry relay contact operation. The 2400-BPA Class A Base Panel Converter is
available to convert the IDC and IAC circuits on the Base panels to Class A (Style D) IDC and Class A
(Style Z) IAC wiring. The 2400-IDCA Class A (Style D) IDC Converter is available to convert 2400-
2IDC Two Zone IDC Modules to Class A (Style D) wiring. The 2400-DL1 Dialer Module provides a
supervised connection to a Central Monitoring Station via dial-up telephone lines. The 2400-ADM Four
Circuit Remote Anunciator Driver Master Module and the 2400-ADS Four Circuit Remote Annunciator
Driver Slave Module are available to supervise and drive remote annunciation panels. All circuits
external to the panel are transient protected. All circuits except the AC power wiring, municipal box,
and relay contacts are power limited. Panel option module capacity is indicated in Table 2.1. The
panels have steel enclosures with a textured baked enamel finish. The enclosure has a Lexan™
viewing window, key lock, and is suitable for semi-flush or surface mounting. Room is provided in the
enclosure for standby batteries. Conduit and nail knockouts, and keyhole style mounting holes help
support quick installation. An optional battery enclosure, model 2400-BATBOX (R), is available when
10 Amp-Hour batteries are required.
The panel is listed by ULI to standard UL 864 and ULC to standard ULC S527.
