Model AL802ULADA is an extremely cost effective 8 amp voltage regulated remote power supply/battery charger. It may be connected to any 12 or 24 volt Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). Primary applications include Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC such as strobes and horns) expansion support to meet ADA requirements. It also provides auxiliary power to support system accessories. The unit delivers regulated and filtered 24 or 12 volt power to Class B or Class A NAC loop circuits. Additionally, a separate 1.0A auxiliary output with reset for four (4)-wire smoke detectors is available. The 8 amp rated supply current can be divided between the four (4) outputs for powering NAC devices. Each output is rated at 2.5 amp max., and can be independently programmed for Steady, Temporal Code 3 or Strobe Synchronization.
Altronix FIRESWITCH108 Power Device Overview
The Altronix FireSwitch108 is a cost effective managed NAC Power Extender. It interfaces with 12 or 24VDC Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACP) to provide Notification Appliance Circuit expansion support, for additional horns/strobes to allow ADA compliancy. It also provides auxiliary power to support system accessories. It delivers electronically regulated and filtered 24VDC power to Class B or Class ANAC loop circuits. Additionally, a separate 1 amp auxiliary output for 4-wire smoke detectors is available. Alarm current can be divided between the eight (8) outputs for powering NAC devices. Outputs are rated at 2.5 amp max., and can be independently programmed for Steady, Temporal Code 3 or Strobe Synchronization. All outputs may be programmed for Input to Output Follower Mode (output will follow input. i.e. March Time Input, March Time Output). In non-alarm condition independent loop supervision for Class A and/or Class B FACP NAC circuits is provided. In the event of a loop trouble, the FACP will be notified via the steered input (input 1 or input 2). In addition, there are common trouble output terminals [NC, C, NO] which are used to indicate general loop/system trouble. Two (2) FACP signaling outputs can be employed and directed to control supervision and power delivery to any combination of the eight (8) outputs. It provides a programmable LCD display interface, plus an ethernet port interface for remote programmability and monitoring.
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.
