Additional Information Input:
  • Power input: 120VAC 60Hz, 4.8 amp.
  • Two (2) Class A or two (2) Class B FACP inputs.
  • Two (2) configurable inputs trigger via Class A or Class B FACP signal circuits(polarity reversal) or dry contacts.
Output:
  • 24VDC voltage regulated power-limited NAC outputs.
  • Output power:
  • 10 amp max. total alarm current.
  • 7 amp max.stand-by without battery back-up.
  • 1 amp with battery back-up including dedicated Aux. output.
  • For Canadian applications Stand-by with battery backup is limited to 0.45 amp.
  • 2.5 amp max current per output.
  • One (1) auxiliary output rated at 1 amp (regulated, battery backed up).
  • 0.45 amp for Canadian applications.
  • Any NAC can be configured as an Aux. output with or
  • without battery back-up (special application only).
  • When set as Aux. output, the output is not supervised.
  • Programmable supervised indicating circuit outputs:
  • Eight (8) Class B or Four (4) Class A,
  • or any combination of Class A and Class B circuits.
  • Thermal and short circuit protection with auto reset.
Battery Backup:
  • Built-in charger for sealed lead acid or gel type batteries.
  • Automatic switchover to stand-by battery when AC fails.
  • Zero voltage drop when switching over to battery backup.
Supervision:
  • AC fail supervision (form "C" contacts).
  • Battery fail & presence supervision (form "C" contacts).
  • Low power shutdown. Shuts down DC output terminals if battery voltage drops below 70-75% for 24V units. Prevents deep battery discharge.
Special Features:
  • Programmable LCD display interface.
  • EOL resistor value is programmable by output.
  • Ethernet port interface for remote programmability and monitoring.
  • 2-wire horn/strobe Sync mode allows audible notification appliances (horns) to be silenced while visual notification appliances (strobes) continue to operate.
  • Sync protocols include Potter, Gentex®, System Sensor® , and CooperWheelock®.
  • Temporal Code 3, Steady Mode, Input to Output Follower Mode (maintains synchronization of notification appliances circuit).
  • Compatible with 12VDC or 24VDC fire panels.
  • Output loop supervision directed to input 1 or input 2.
  • Common trouble Dry N.C. output for reporting trouble to remote FACP.
  • Ground fault detection - Ground fault maximum test impedance 1,000 ohm.
  • Ground fault Dry N.O. output to report ground fault to remote FACP.
  • CO Temporal Code 4 (NFPA720) include Gentex® , Potter and System Sensor® devices.
Electrical:
  • Operating temperature: 0° C to 49° C ambient.
  • BTU/Hr.: 122.84BTU/Hr.
  • System AC input VA requirement: 576VA.
Visual Indicators:
  • LCD display - Indicates troubles and conditions of operation. Trouble Condition Memory facilitates quick identification of an intermittent/fault (short circuit, open or ground) which has previously occurred on one or more signaling circuit outputs.
  • LCD displays which output the fault has occurred on.
Minimum Operating Temperature 32°F (0°C)
Maximum Operating Temperature 120.2°F (49°C)
