Description

The Hochiki DCP-R2ML Dual Relay Module is an intelligent addressable control module designed for use with compatible Hochiki FireNET and DCP fire alarm systems. The Hochiki DCP-R2ML Dual Relay Module provides two independently programmable Form C relay outputs while utilizing a single signaling line circuit (SLC) address. Therefore, it offers a flexible and efficient solution for controlling fans, dampers, elevators, doors, notification appliances, and other building control functions.

Hochiki DCP-R2ML Dual Relay Module Function

The Hochiki DCP-R2ML allows independent control of two relay outputs from a single addressable module. As a result, multiple devices can be activated or controlled without requiring additional modules or SLC addresses. In addition, each relay can be programmed separately to perform specific building control and life safety functions.

Two Independent Form C Relays

The DCP-R2ML provides two Form C dry-contact relay outputs that can be configured for normally open or normally closed operation. Consequently, the module can be used for a wide variety of control applications including:

• Fan shutdown and smoke control
• Elevator recall
• Door release systems
• Auxiliary notification control
• Building automation interfaces
• Fire suppression equipment control

Furthermore, both relays operate independently while sharing a single SLC address.

Intelligent Addressable Communication

The module communicates through Hochiki’s Digital Communication Protocol (DCP). Therefore, the fire alarm control panel can individually monitor and control the module. Moreover, up to 127 addressable devices can be installed on a single SLC loop depending on system configuration.

Mechanically Latching Relay Design

The DCP-R2ML utilizes mechanically latching relays that do not require a separate 24 VDC power source for relay operation. As a result, wiring requirements are simplified while improving system efficiency. Additionally, relay status is maintained even if communication traffic is reduced during emergency conditions.

Status LED Indication

The module includes a software-controlled bi-color LED indicator that can flash green or red during polling and illuminate steadily when activated. Consequently, technicians can easily identify module status during testing, maintenance, and troubleshooting procedures.

Easy Installation

The Hochiki DCP-R2ML is designed to mount inside a standard 4-inch square electrical box. Therefore, installation is straightforward for both new construction and retrofit projects. Furthermore, removable terminal connections simplify wiring and future maintenance.
