Onguard 800 System Concept

The Allestec 800 series gas and fire control panel is designed to supervise and respond to the result of a gas or fire signal while maintaining simple panel annunciation. This modular hardwired system is primarily suited for the end user who requires a minimum learning curve and simplicity in installation as well as operation. One panel assembly is designed to accommodate small to medium requirements. As many as 32 points of initiating devices can accommodate a panel assembly. Field wiring is completed on a point to point installation between devices and the panel. A remote abort is possible with the optional digital Abort Panel. Completely occupied, the entire panel dimensions are only 3.5" high X 19" wide X 7" deep.

Selectable Modules

Task specific modules perform functions related to their respective input detectors or output appliances. The modules can be selected to accommodate the best possible configuration while allowing room for expansion as necessary. Removal of any module from the slot will induce a system fault.

System Events

All faults are displayed at the lower half of the modules and are bussed to the system Fault Module. The Fault Module can be silenced for any successive faults. All faults will be locally announced at their respective modules and transferred at the Fault Module. All audible appliances can be silenced locally or remotely. An inhibit function is provided to allow system testing of all operations without solenoid activation. The panel cannot be reset until all active alarms have been cleared.

Protection

The system is protected from reverse voltage polarity, power surges, and RFI energy. Under voltage or over voltage from the redundant power source will induce a fault and be displayed on the Fault Module. A cover protector plate spans the length of the rack, containing the wire and associated terminal strips. Flow through ventilation allows cool and silent operation without the need of forced air. The optional locking clear Plexiglas door opens for total access to the front of the panel.

Power

Allestec has designed the panel to accept customer available redundant power supplies. Although the panel is designed and approved for 20 - 28VDC operation, a source voltage as low as 14VDC will operate panel.

Quality and Reliability

High quality components are carefully selected for the manufacturing of the panel. All output relays are sealed and contain an inert gas to prevent contacts from oxidizing. All standard resistors are carbon composition quality. Precision resistors selected are long term stability military type conformal coated RN series. All contact mating surfaces are gold plated to enhance signal conduction and reduce oxidation. Printed circuit boards contain double sided plated through holes. Solder mask is over bare copper to pre-vent wetting action from wave soldering. All modules are cycled with elevated heat in the environmental chamber prior to testing.
