Smoke and Heat Exhaust Control Unit mcr 9705 – User Instruction Manual

1. Introduction
The mcr 9705 control unit is used in smoke exhaust systems to control the operation
of:
- electrical actuators and in particular vent actuators in mcr PROLIGHT,
mcr THERMOLIGHT, mcr ULTRA THERM, mcr LAM, mcr LAM-N,
- valves of alarm boxes with CO2 cartridges,
- drive of automatic rolled curtains PROSMOKE CE/CE1, mcr
PROSMOKE FSv2 CE,
- electromagnetic door locks and in other mcr series products used for fire
protection purposes, which require 24 V= power supply.

The electrical mcr 9705 unit should be installed near the smoke exhaust
window or in the building supervision room. The unit is powered with 230 V AC
voltage. The working DC voltage is 24 V on output terminals to which the devices of
the electrical smoke exhaust control system are connected. The unit is equipped with
batteries which ensure system operation for 72 hours after a power outage. After that
time a single emergency opening of smoke vents is possible. If the mcr 9705 control
panel is used to control the PROSMOKE FSv2 CE mcr curtains, the standby time
depends on the number of connected curtains (for details refer to the mcr
PROSMOKE FSv2 CE curtains).

The unit has the following features:

• automatic alarm release by a signal from a fire alarm control unit
• manual alarm release by alarm pushbuttons,
• automatic alarm release by smoke sensors,
• transmitting information about alarm (NO/NC signal),
• transmitting information about the defect of the system (NO/NC signal),
• transmitting information about vent opening (NO/NC signal),
• manual opening of a smoke vents for ventilation of the building during
normal operation without activating the alarm status,
• automatic closing of smoke vents opened for ventilation, in case of rain or
strong wind (when a weather monitoring unit with a wind-rain sensor is
installed).

The mcr 9705 unit is equipped with audio and visual alarm indicators of its
operating status, which allows easy identification of the alarm’s source or a system
defect.
Smoke exhaust vents which were opened in emergency mode can be closed
(cancellation of the alarm state) providing that the cause of the alarm has been
removed. If mcr 9705 is equipped with manual pushbutton mcr RPO-1, remote
operation and display of the unit’s status is possible (defect and alarm signals,
remote alarm reset and closing vents after the alarm).
mcr 9705 is performed in two series of type, which are based on modules:
- 5 A, 2 x 5 A, 3 x 5 A, 4 x 5 A, 5 x 5 A, 6 x 5 A, 7 x 5 A, 8 x 5 A;
or
- 8 A, 2 x 8 A, 3 x 8 A, 4 x 8 A, 5 x 8 A, 6 x 8 A, 7 x 8 A, 8 x 8 A.
Series of type [8A] shall be used only for natural smoke and heat exhaust systems.

Smoke and Heat Exhaust Control Unit mcr 9705 – User Instruction Manual

Closing of the vent after its emergency opening (deleting the alarm state) takes place
after the cause of the alarm has been removed.
Connecting of the mcr RPO-1 manual smoke exhaust pushbutton enables remote
control panel operation (alarm enabling, alarm deleting and closing the vent after the
alarm) and remote signalling of the system status (READY, FAULT, ALARM).

mcr 9705 is a maintenance-free device. It requires constant 230 V mains power
supply. In case of power shortage caused by mains failure, the installed batteries will
ensure 72-hour emergency power supply. Any power outage exceeding 72 hours
can result in permanent damage of the batteries.

3.2. Non-emergency ventilation (daily ventilation)

For smoke vents equipped with electrical smoke exhaust actuators and the
system with ventilation pushbuttons, it is possible to open smoke vents for non-
emergency ventilation of the building in the normal usage conditions. When the
pushbuttons ( or ) are pressed and held down for at least 1 s, the vents are being
open or close, respectively.
Pushing the  button will always cause the smoke vent to be closed
completely. The function of the  button depends on the position of the SW1-5 switch
in the unit module (Pic. 3 item 27):
SW1-5 OFF - The vent opens only when the button  is pressed (default
setting), but no longer than for the time specified by the settings

Strona 8 z 24
Smoke and Heat Exhaust Control Unit mcr 9705 – User Instruction Manual

on the jumpers H6 and H5 (Pic. 3 item 46 and item 47 table of

settings below),
SW1-5 ON - Pressing the button  once causes the vent to open for the time
specified by appropriate settings on the H6 and H5 jumpers
(Pic. 3 item 46 and item 47).

Pic. 4 Sample ventilation button and a two-position key switch.

If the system is additionally equipped with a key switch (Pic. 4), setting the ignition
switch in the "1" position activates the "hatch" mode in place of the "ventilation"
mode. When "hatch" mode is active:
- the weather station’s displays don’t cause vent’s closing,
- it is not possible to close the vent with the ventilation button ,
- the vent opens, just like in "ventilation" mode, by pressing the ventilation button,,
- the time of opening the damper depends on the settings on the H6 and H5 jumpers,
the vents:

Opening time in:

Jumper: Condition:
„ventilation mode” „ventilation mode”

NOTE!!
The ventilation function is inactive when an emergency alarm is
active or if there’s mains power outage!

Strona 9 z 24
Smoke and Heat Exhaust Control Unit mcr 9705 – User Instruction Manual

3.3. Automatic weather monitoring unit

If the system is equipped with wind and/or rain sensor, the sensor will prevent
from opening of the smoke vents for non-emergency, daily ventilation in adverse
weather conditions. The wind/rain sensor will automatically close smoke vents (or
prevent the vents from being opened by using the ventilation pushbutton) if the wind
or atmospheric precipitation is too strong.

Note!
1. In case of the ALARM signal, smoke exhaust vents will be opened regardless of
weather conditions!
2. Do not use alarm buttons for non-emergency ventilation!

3.4. Emergency alarm

If the status of the unit is in the ‘alarm’ state, the red ALARM diode on the front
panel will light up, the audio alarm indicator will go off and the yellow “VENT OPEN”
diode will blink to indicate operation of actuators. Once the smoke vents are open,
the VENT OPEN diode will stay on.

In automatic door mode, in the ALARM state, the control panel cuts off the power
from the actuators, which releases the door holders.
The door automation mode is also used to control the operation of mcr
PROSMOKE FSv2 CE smoke curtains. In this case, after cutting off the power from
the actuators, the curtains automatically fall into the working position.
NOTE: the door automation mode is not intended for the controlling the mcr
PROSMOKE CE/CE1 curtains.
In the electric locking drive/activating alarm boxes, in the ALARM state, the
control panel gives a fixed 24 V signal, but does not give a signal with reversed
polarity in the alarm reset state.
Alarm release methods:
Manual - break the glass of the smoke release pushbutton and push the button.
Automatic – depending on the type of sensors used, they will be automatically
activated when the temperature rises or the smoke conditions will
appear.
Automatic release from an external source – a signal from an external device
(e.g. Fire Alarm Unit) is supplied to the alarm signal-in terminals of the control
unit (Pic. 3 item 35). The alarm will cause 24 V power outage on P13 terminals.

3.5. Deleting an emergency alarm

To delete the alarm status, one first needs to open the unit with the correct key
and determine the source of alarm, using the optical indicators inside the unit (Pic. 2).
Depending on the source of the alarm, remove its cause and reset the alarm:
After manual alarm release (the RPO line), replace the glass in the alarm

Strona 10 z 24
Smoke and Heat Exhaust Control Unit mcr 9705 – User Instruction Manual

pushbutton, delete the alarm either using the RESET button on the casing of the
control unit or by using the ALARM RESET button in the RPO-1 unit (hold the button
down for at least 1 s). The red ALARM diode will be turned off, and the yellow
READY diode will light up.

After alarm release from a smoke sensor (the sensor line), delete the alarm using
the RESET button. The sensor will not activate the alarm again if there’s no longer
excessive smoke/high temperature. The red ALARM diode will be turned off, and the
yellow READY diode will light up.

After alarm release from an external source (in/out) one first needs to delete the
alarm in the device which initiated the response of the mcr 9705 control unit.
Depending on the SW1-1 setting, there are 2 possible ways to delete the alarm:
SW1-8 in ON position - After deleting the alarm in the device which initiated the
response of control unit, delete the alarm with the RESET key. The ALARM diode
goes out, the READY diode lights up.
SW1-8 in the OFF position - After deleting the alarm in the device which initiated the
response of the control unit it will be cleared automatically (in door automation mode
with a delay of 75 s). The ALARM diode goes out, the READY diode lights up. The
actuators of the devices will be actuated by the control unit in the closing direction.
Then delete the alarm using the RESET button. The red ALARM diode will be turned
off, and the yellow READY diode will light up.

If the cause of the alarm can’t be removed (for example, when there’s an alarm
source failure), one needs to access the segment representing the relevant alarm
source in the SW1 switch in the control centre module (Pic. 3 item 27) and adjust it
from the “OFF” to the “ON” position (in accordance to the description on the optical
signal board – disconnection of the RPO/sensor/in-out line). In next step delete the
alarm using the RESET button. The red ALARM diode will be turned off.
The yellow READY diode will not light up.
In this case CALL THE SERVICE

3.6. Closing the vents after alarm release

To close the vent, the alarm must first be deleted. After the alarm has been
deleted, the vent will close automatically. The red “VENT OPEN” diode will begin to
blink, indicating the operation of actuators. Once the smoke exhaust vents are
closed, the “VENT OPEN” indicator will be turned off (after approx. 140s.)

3.7. Diagnosis of the faults

Optical indicators (Pic. 2) placed on the inside part of the central unit’s door
enable identification of the system’s defects.
A blinking “FAULT” diode provides information about the mains failure or
batteries failure. In this case, one has to check whether there’s voltage (230 V) on
the control unit’s terminals and the status of FS1 and FS2 cut-out fuses (see page
7).
If there is a signal indicating a fault in the actuator line, check the on board fuse
FS3.

Strona 11 z 24
Smoke and Heat Exhaust Control Unit mcr 9705 – User Instruction Manual

Never change the default settings of the voltage potentiometer for the batteries.

In case of a system defect CALL THE SERVICE

3.8. Curtain control - Additional info

For mcr PROSMOKE CE / CE1 curtains use the mcr 9705 control unit with the
"curtain" option. Set the control unit into the curtain control mode (SW1-5 and SW1-6
ON).

For mcr PROSMOKE FSv2 CE curtains, use the standard mcr 9705 control
panel. The control panel should be set to door automation mode (SW1-6 ON).

The control unit’s standby time in cooperation with the curtains mcr PROSMOKE
FSv2 CE depends on the number of connected smoke curtains - additional
information in the DTR of mr PROSMOKE FSv2 CE smoke curtains.

4. Assembly and start up

1. Sensors line - 2 leads (e.g. YnTKSY) from P11 terminals. Terminal resistor 5,1
kΩ in the base of the last sensor. The maximum number of sensors is limited in
accordance with the list of technical parameters (see chapter 9 Technical
specifications).
2. Smoke exhaust pushbuttons line (RPO) - 7 leads from P9 (alarm closing
contact), P10 (control inputs) and P17 terminals (indicator output). Terminal
resistor 10 kΩ in the last pushbutton. The maximum number of pushbuttons in
accordance with the technical parameters (see page 20).
3. Actuators line - 2 leads in silicone insulation (feature PH30, for example HLGs),
from P8 terminals. Terminal resistor 10 kΩ in the last connection box. The line is
protected by a 6,3 A or 8 A fuse (FS3). The maximum number of actuators in
accordance with the technical parameters. Only specific leads shall be used,
leads that are compatible with actual regulations.
Attention: In case of multi module centrals – do not connect galvanized outputs
[to actuators] of different modules.
4. Ventilation - pushbuttons for ventilation (manual vent control- upwards,
downwards) – 3 leads (e.g. YTKSY or YDY) from P6 terminals. It is possible to
connect several pushbuttons in parallel.
5. Hatch function - switch with key (for switching between the functions
"ventilation" - "hatch") - 2 wires (YTKSY or YDY) from terminals P1
6. Automatic weather monitoring unit for closing the vents in case of a strong
wind/ heavy rain - 2 leads (e.g. YTKSY or YDY) from P7 terminals.
7. External alarm input to the 24 V relay coil – 2 leads (e.g. YnTKSY) from P13
terminals. If the device which activates the alarm (fire alarm control unit) has a
24 V output, it shall be connected directly to the P13 terminal. Loss of voltage at
the P13 terminal will activate the alarm. If the device which activates the alarm is
equipped with a voltage-free null contact (NC), we have to use the loop power
supply available on the P12 terminal (see Diag. 1 or Pic. 3). The P12 terminal is
short-circuit resistant and can carry a load of maximum two relays. Once the line
is connected remove the H1 jumper which blocks the external alarm.

Strona 12 z 24
Smoke and Heat Exhaust Control Unit mcr 9705 – User Instruction Manual

8. Voltage-free output NC (or NO) for information about alarm – 2 leads

(e.g. YnTKSY) from P14 terminals. The H2 jumper allows to select NC (default)
or NO output.
9. Voltage-free output NC (or NO) for information about defect – 2 leads
(e.g. YnTKSY) from P15 terminals. The H3 jumper allows to select NC (default)
or NO output.
10. Voltage-free output NC (or NO) for information about vent opening – 2 leads
(e.g. YnTKSY) from P16 terminals. The H4 jumper allows to select NC (default)
or NO output.
11. Mains 230 V, 50 Hz should be connected to the terminal strip on the unit
assembly board. The power supply for the unit should be separate (units only on
the mains line), protected by means of a properly marked overload circuit breaker
in the switching station. The recommended circuit breaker:
I = number of control units * 4 A, or * 6A for series of type 8A. It is not
recommended to connect more than eight units on a single line. Do not protect
the line by means of a GFCI (RCCB) circuit breaker.
12. 24 V power supply from batteries (P4, P5). The batteries should be connected
in series, taking polarity into account. Make the connection after the control unit
has been launched by use of mains power supply.
13. Large systems – connecting multiple control units. In order to increase the
number of sensors, ROP buttons or actuators connected to the system, one can
connect multiple control units.
To relay an alarm from one control unit to another, use the P14 alarm output
terminal and the P13 alarm input terminal with P12 power supply.
Do not connect output lines [to actuators] of different modules.
Control units can be connected together into ventilation sections. To do this,
connect in parallel the P6 ventilation terminals of all control units in a section: U-
up, D-down, ground-joint. Connect the weather monitoring unit only to one (any
one) control unit in the section, to P7 terminals.
When connecting the weather monitoring unit to more than one ventilation
section, connect individual units in parallel.
Important! - connect the P7 terminals on the left to one line, and the ones on the
right to the other line - do not cross!
14. Remote door controls. The control unit is also adapted to operating in the
remote door control mode. To switch on the door control mode, use the SW1-6
switch (set it to ON). Connect electromagnetic door locks to the P8 terminals.
15. Unlocking electric locking drive\ activation of alarm boxes. The control unit
can work in the release mode of interphone installation and / or triggering alarm
boxes. In order to activate the mode, the switches no. SW1-5 and SW1-6 should
be set to the ON position.
16. Other devices activated only in the alarm state
The mcr 9705 control unit has the option of connecting external devices supplied
with 24 V = voltage, working in the alarm state, such as the SA-K7 optical-
acoustic indicators. They can be connected in one of two options:
- devices with their own power source should be connected with 2 wires
(YnTKSY) via NC isolated (or NO) voltage output on terminal P16 (jumper H4 is
used to select NC output - factory or NO),

Strona 13 z 24
Smoke and Heat Exhaust Control Unit mcr 9705 – User Instruction Manual

- in the case of a device without a separate power source, connect the 2 wires
(YnTKSY) with the power supply from terminal P19.
An example of both variants of connection is shown in Diag. 4.
NOTE - the maximum load on the alarm loop terminals is 110 mA!
17. Start-up. Before switching on the power supply, check if the leads are connected
properly.
Note: the leads should be placed and connected in accordance with relevant
standards and basic rules for wiring. First switch on the 230 V mains voltage, and
only then connect the batteries. The reverse order is not recommended because
of a large current surge that occurs during the charging of the condenser in the
power supply adaptor.
18. In a correctly operating unit, the following LED indicator are on: READY, POWER
SUPPLY, and VENT OPEN. When the CLOSE VENTS button is pressed, the
VENT OPEN diode begins to blink and then switches off after about 5 minutes.
When the actuator is in operation, the VENT OPEN diode keeps blinking.
19. In order to check the operation of ventilation, the weather monitoring unit should
be disconnected. The weather monitoring unit blocks ventilation for several
minutes after the wind has ceased, and in case of rain the sensor needs to get
dry, which takes even more time.
20. The LEDs on the inside of the unit’s door make detailed defect identification
possible. To test their operation, press the TEST button and hold it down for
about 1 s. To test the operation of the audible alarm indicator, press
simultaneously the TEST and RESET buttons.

Note: in order to connect the unit you should use leads which satisfy the
requirements of current regulations.

open the actuators line, the control panel in mode smoke exhaust), power supply
damage (e.g. 230 V disconnect), battery detection (e.g. disconnect the batteries).
Tests should be performed in a normal operating state for any potential damage.
In each test case, the fault condition should be detected and signalled on the
front panel of the control unit, on the service panel for selected faults, by means
of the mcr RPO-1 button (if connected) and on the fault indication output (by
ohmmeter control).
8. Check whether the control panel is correctly detecting alarms. Check all
connected alarm sources:
a. alarm from the RPO line (press the mcr RPO-1 button),
b. alarm from the sensor line (activate the sensor),
c. alarm from the external alarm line (activate external device or open the line).
Tests should be performed in the normal operating state independently for each
connected alarm source. In any case, the alarm condition should be detected
and signaled by the control unit (Chapt. 3.4) on the front panel, on the service
panel with the diode of the proper alarm source, with the diode of the button mcr
RPO-1 (if connected) and on the alarm signal output (ohmmeter control), and all
connected fire devices controlled by the control panel should be controlled.
9. Check the correctness of the line disconnection signaling on the service panel:
after switching the segments (1 ÷ 4) of switch SW1 (page 6) the appropriate
LEDs should light up on the service panel, and the READY diode on the front
panel should go out. After the test, restore the lines to the connection status.
10. If applicable, check that the daily ventilating function (Chapt. 3.2) and the
programmable \ service output (page 7) are connected.
11. Check whether the control unit remains in the normal operating state after all
tests have been performed (Chapt. 3.1).
12. The control panel can be put into operation if all tests have been completed
correctly. Only an efficient and properly connected control unit can work in fire
protection systems. In the event that at least one result of the above tests is not
correct, the control panel cannot be used in security systems and should be
restored for proper operation.

After checking the above points, make a record in all fields of the table below.
