Multi-function Control Card with voltage outputfor VESDA VLF

Multi-function Control Card for VESDA VLF-250/ VLF-500 with voltage output

The Xtralis VESDA VLF MCC (Multi-function Control Card) is an interface card for the range of Xtralis VESDA VLF smoke detectors. An MCC expands the range of input and output communications a VLF can perform.

Installing a VLF MCC into a VLF detector provides a cost-effective solution for customers who need enhanced connectivity, fault detection and monitoring,and annunciation of alarms and faults.

The principal benefits include:

Improved FACP connectivity

The VLF is fitted with two (2) alarm relays in its standard form. With an extra two (2) relays, the Multi-function Control Card allows reporting of all four (4) alarm levels on dry relay outputs.

Enhanced annunciation

An MPO (Monitored 24 V Powered Output) is available on the VIC-030 version of the card. The MPO provides power to devices such as sirens or strobes, and monitors the line integrity.

Enhanced control and fault detection

With a VLF MCC installed, a VLF has two (2) General Purpose Inputs (GPIs), allowing, for example, one GPI to report on loss of mains power and the other GPI to be used as a reset input.

The VIC-030 version of the card has a self-configuring GPI, depending on the jumper selection for MPO/Relay3. 

• If MPO is selected, activation of the GPI will disable the MPO. 

• If Relay3 is selected, the GPI will be set to External Fault (e.g. for mains power supply monitoring)

Input/Output Assignments

VIC-030

Output for Relay 1: ALERT (follows latching configuration of VLF ALERT status)

Output for Relay 2: FIRE-2 (follows latching configuration of VLF FIRE-2 status)

MPO: ALERT (unless disabled) (follows latching configuration of VLF ALERT status)

Jumper configuration

J9

J10

GPI for MPO: Disable MPO

MPO status is driven as follows:

- EOL > MPO enabled

- Short > MPO disabled*

- O/C > MPO enabled and Fault # 111/IFF8

Output for Relay 3: DISABLED or STANDBY (follows VLF DISABLED or STANDBY status)

Jumper configuration

J9

J10

GPI for Relay 3: FAULT

GPI reports status on following conditions:

- EOL > No fault

- Short >Fault # 115/IFF6

- O/C > Fault # 111/IFF8

* The MPO is disabled if there is a short on the GPI.
