FCPS-24S8

July 20, 2004 DN-6927 • E-30 FCPS-24S6 and FCPS-24S8 6-Amp and 8-Amp 24-Volt Remote Power Supplies Section: Power Supplies GENERAL The FCPS-24S6 (6-amp) and FCPS-24S8 (8-amp) are compact, cost-effective remote power supplies with battery charger. The FCPS-24S6/-24S8 may be connected to any 12- or 24volt Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) or may be used as a stand-alone supply. Primary applications include Notification Appliance (bell) Circuit (NAC) expansion (to support ADA requirements and NAC synchronization) or auxiliary power to support 24-volt system accessories. The FCPS-24S6/-24S8 provides regulated and filtered 24 VDC power to four notification appliance circuits configured as either four Class B (Style Y) or Class A (Style Z, with ZNAC-4 option module). Alternately, the four outputs may be configured as all non-resettable, all resettable, or two non-resettable and two resettable. The FCPS-24S6/-24S8 also contains a battery charger capable of charging up to 18 AH batteries.

Cabinet capable of housing 7.0 AH batteries. • Battery charger may be disabled via DIP switch for applications requiring larger batteries. • Fixed, clamp-type terminal blocks accommodate up to 12 AWG (3.1 mm²) wire. STANDARDS and CODES The FCPS-24S6/-24S8 complies with the following standards: • NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm Code. • UL 864 Standard for Control Units for Fire Alarm Systems (NAC expander mode). • UL 1481 Power Supplies for Fire Alarm Systems (standalone mode). SPECIFICATIONS Primary (AC) power: • FCPS-24S6/-24S8: 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 3.2 A maximum. • Wire size: minimum #14 AWG (2.0 mm²) with 600 V insulation. Control input circuit: • Trigger input voltage: 9 to 32 VDC. • Trigger current: 2.0 mA (16 – 32 V). Per input: 1.0 mA (9 – 16 V). Trouble contact rating: 5 amps at 24 VDC.

SYNC FOLLOWER/GENERATOR NOTE In some installations, it is necessary to synchronize the flash timing of all strobes in the system for ADA compliance. Strobes accomplish this by monitoring very short timing pulses on the NAC power which are created by the FACP. When installed at the end of a NAC wire run, the FCPS-24S6/-24S8 can track (i.e., “follow”) the strobe synchronization timing pulses on the existing NAC wire run. This maintains the overall system flash timing of the additional strobes attached to the FCPS. When the FCPS-24S6/-24S8 is configured (via DIP switch settings) as a “sync follower,” the FCPS’s NAC outputs track the strobe synchronization pulses present at the FCPS’s sync input terminal. The pulses originate from an upstream FACP or other power supply. When the FCPS-24S6/-24S8 is configured (via DIP switch settings) as a “sync generator,” the FCPS’s sync input terminals are not used. Rather, the FCPS is the originator of the strobe synchronization pulses on the FCPS’s NAC outputs. In “sync generator” mode, the sync type (System Sensor, Wheelock, or Gentex) is selectable via DIP switch settings. APPLICATIONS Example 1: Expand notification appliance power an additional 6.0 amps (FCPS-24S6) or 8.0 amps (FCPS-24S8). Use up to four Class B (Style Y) outputs or four Class A (Style Z) outputs (using ZNAC-4). For example, the FACP notification appliance circuits will activate the FCPS when reverse-polarity activation occurs. Trouble conditions on the FCPS are sensed by the FACP through the notification appliance circuit. Example 2: Use the FCPS to expand auxiliary regulated 24-volt system power up to 4.0 amps (FCPS-24S6) or up to 6.0 amps (FCPS-24S8). Both resettable and non-resettable power options are available. Resettable outputs are created by connecting the resettable output from the FACP to one or both of the FCPS inputs. Example 3: Use addressable control modules to activate the FCPS instead of activating it through the FACP notification appliance circuits. This typically allows for mounting the FCPS at greater distances* away from the FACP while expanding system architecture in various applications. For example, an addressable control module is used to activate the FCPS, and an addressable monitor module is used to sense FCPS trouble conditions. Local auxiliary power output from the FCPS provides power to the addressable control module. *Addressable FACPs are capable of locating control and monitor modules at distances of up to 10,000 feet (3048 meters).
