The Pyrotronics system 3 is a conventional fire alarm panel manufactured by Pyrotronics
History/general information
The Pyrotronics System 3 is a conventional module based fire alarm panel
that first hit the market in 1968 under the Pyr-a-larm brand (which was its own brand under Pyrotronics which intern was owned by baker industries). This was intended to replace the aging 50s era ZIU/FIU panels. Pyrotronics designed and built the first system 3s in 1968 these were fitted with the CP-30 control module and could handle an unlimited number of zu-35 zone modules with more or less modules added or taken from the system and could come in bilingual lettering (French) but exclusively for Canada . eventually some time around the 70s the CP-31 module was introduced with a slimmer design and separate power supply module. eventually in the 80s the CP-35 was introduced which went back to the bulkier cp30 design and required a battery charger module. this would be the final design used up until 2016. The system 3 never came with a voice evacuation option so an external Voice evacuation panel was required to be used with the system 3, this panel was the Pyrotronics cpv-90 voice evacuation panel. Originally a panel designed and built by the Canadian company electro-vox, Pyrotronics bought electro-vox which formed into Pyrotronics canada and all the parts and documentation were transferred over to Pyrotronics in the USA.
The system 3 has a bunch of different modules that could be used. Heres a list
| module | description |
|---|---|
| zu-35
zu-35ds/ts |
the standard dual zone module for the system 3
could be ordered with a test switch or a disconnect switch |
| bi-35 | battery extender module extends battery life? |
| sm-30 | switch module, has two switches that can be set to do anything |
| mm-30 | basically is an voltage meter |
| CZ-30 | basically the cz-30 Counting Zone module is a module where you can
have 3 separate detectors do different things on one circuit. |
| ZH-30 | basically a module that can allow 220vdc output to run the pyrotronics f3/5a and f5b |
| SR-32 | just a relay module |
| PS-35 | power supply module meant to be used on the cp35 |
| BC-35 | battery charger module meant to be used on the cp35 |
| SA-30 | alarm silence module |
| TL-30 | designed to provide a
controlled time interval from 6 seconds to 10 minutes, after which either a signal circuit is activated |
| RR-35 | remote reset module, has a key switch meant for resetting the system |
| AE-30 | nac module |
