POTTER ARC-100
Product Overview
The ARC-100 is an analog/addressable releasing fire alarm control panel designed to support up to 100 device addresses, with additional expansion available through multipoint SLC modules. Using the proprietary Potter protocol, the system supports a full range of addressable sensors and modules, with each SLC configured as Class A or Class B and capable of up to 50 ohms of loop impedance.
Equipped with a 5-amp power supply, the ARC-100 includes two 3-amp NACs and two 1-amp Input/Output circuits, all fully programmable for functions such as strobe synchronization, constant power, releasing, door holder control, and more. The panel is fully listed for releasing applications and supports sophisticated suppression logic, including cross-zones, timers, and multi-hazard release outputs.
System expansion is seamless using the PSN-1000 intelligent power supplies, each adding 10 amps of power and additional inputs, with support for up to 31 power supplies. The ARC-100 also offers features such as built-in NFPA 72 compliant smoke sensitivity testing, 99 software zones, P-Link accessory support, and robust system-wide strobe synchronization using Quadrasync technology.
