Potter ARC-100 Fire Alarm Releasing Control Panel

The Potter ARC-100 Fire Alarm Releasing Control Panel is a powerful analog addressable releasing fire alarm system designed for fire suppression and advanced life safety applications. Supporting up to 100 addresses, the ARC-100 delivers reliable performance, flexible configuration options, and scalable expansion for commercial and industrial fire alarm installations.

Designed using the exclusive Potter protocol, the ARC-100 supports a complete range of Potter addressable smoke detectors, heat detectors, monitor modules, and control modules. The system allows any combination of devices on the SLC loop while maintaining compliance with National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements.

The panel includes a built in 5 Amp power supply, two Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs), and two programmable Input/Output circuits. Each NAC is rated at 3 Amps and supports advanced strobe synchronization for Gentex®, AMSECO®, System Sensor®, and Cooper Wheelock® notification devices. Potter’s exclusive Quadrasync technology enables multiple strobe brands to synchronize across the entire system.

The ARC-100 is UL listed for releasing service applications and supports cross zoning, counting zones, programmable timers, abort switches, and manual release stations for fire suppression control. The system can also be expanded with Potter PSN-1000 intelligent power supplies, increasing total system power capacity up to 310 Amps.

Ideal for clean agent suppression systems, industrial hazards, and commercial releasing applications, the Potter ARC-100 provides advanced flexibility with dependable addressable fire alarm performance.
