ANALOG ADDRESSABLE
EXTINGUISHING CONTROL UNIT
Technical Manual
General
The ADR-833 Automatic Extinguishing Control Unit is intended to supervise, control and
activate automatic extinguishing systems.
The ADR-833 is a multi-input/output control unit connected and supervised by the
analog addressable control panel ADR-3000.
The fire detectors belonging to the automatic extinguishing system are monitored from
the analog addressable control panel. The extinguishing control and command are
performed by the ADR-833, via the analog detection loop.
The ADR-833 contains 3 supervised outputs, 2 relays and 3 supervised inputs. The
outputs activate: (a) the automatic extinguishing cylinders, (b) the fire alarm horn and (c)
the evacuation announciators. The relays are: one for trouble and the other for alarm.
The inputs are: (a) manual extinguishing release – electrically, (b) extinguishing inhibit
and (c) extinguishing cylinder pressure switch (refer to figure 1).
The ADR-833 operates on 24Vdc supply fed directly from the control panel or from a
remote power supply such as Telefire's ADR-34A Analog Addressable Power Supply or
ADR-9090P Analog Addressable Power Supply.
The ADR-833 is an analog addressable device controlled by the analog addressable
control panel and occupies only one address, even with the several inputs and outputs.

In addition, the local trouble buzzer will sound. To silence the buzzer, use the silence
button. The trouble buzzer is silenced only on the ADR-833 unit. This does not affect
the trouble signaling, either on the main control panel, or on the remote panels.
After the silencing, the word SILENCED blinks on the LCD. Fixing the trouble will
automatically cancel the trouble display and restore the unit to normal operation.
Unit Operation
Fuses
The ADR-833 Automatic Extinguishing Control Unit operates on 24Vdc and is protected
by a 1A fuse, located on the printed circuit board.
In case of a blown fuse, the ADR-833 continues to operate only in the supervision mode
powered from the detection line.
The trouble message is displayed on the LCD as follows –
TROUBLE
Extinguishing Inhibit
Extinguishing inhibit can be done in two cases:
1. In normal operation, before performing system maintenance.
2. When receiving a fire alarm and after deciding to abort the automatic extinguishing
process during the countdown.

system normal operation.
Fire Alarm
During a fire alarm, the fire red LED will light, the alarm message will be displayed on the
LCD screen, the unit’s buzzer will sound and the alarm horn will sound – if connected.
Silencing the alarm will affect the local alarm devices only, and will not affect the rest of
the alarm devices belonging to the main system.
Automatic Extinguishing
After receiving a fire alarm signal from the detectors belonging to the automatic
extinguishing system and performing the ADR-833 activation conditions as programmed
in the main control unit, the unit will start the automatic extinguishing process.
At the beginning, the evacuation output will be activated and after the pre-set time delay,
the automatic extinguisher will be activated.
The following message will be displayed on the LCD screen:
ALARM
EXTING. ACTIVATED
Even after pressing the reset button, the message will remain on the LCD screen and a
trouble message will be sent and displayed on the main control panel, to ensure
replacing the empty extinguishing cylinder.
Only after initiating the unit on the main control panel by an authorized person, the ADR-
833 will resume to normal operation.
The initiating process is done by entering the device program menu on the control panel,
entering the access code, selecting the ADR-833 address and pressing the Program
button.
