HPFF12 NAC Expander — P/N 53576:B3 10/1/2018 39
Connecting Multiple Units Applications
5.4 Connecting Multiple Units
Two or more HPFF12 and/or HPFF8 units can be connected to each other to provide additional NAC extenders for a system; see wiring
in Figures 5.5–5.10 and in the HPFF8 manual PN 53499. Maintain separation of power-limited and non-power limited wiring as dis-
cussed in Section 2.5, “Power-Limited Wiring Requirements”.
Notes for Figures 5.5–5.10:
1.
The FACP’s NAC output must be regulated (not Full Wave Rectified [FWR]) if the HPFF is programmed for Sync Generator.
2. The number of possible units that can be interconnected depends on the current capability of the FACP output. Each HPFF12 input
draws 12.26 mA at 24 VDC.
3. The total line impedance for interconnected units cannot be such that it creates a voltage drop > 2 VDC.
Zline total =2V/(1 Unit + 1 ELR)
Example: Zline total = 2V/(12.26 mA + (24-2)/4.7K) =118.1 ohms
NOTE: Multiple units should not be connected in a “daisy chain” fashion. DO NOT connect a NAC output of one unit to the initiating device
signal input of the next unit. The synchronization signal will not pass unimpeded through multiple units with this wiring method.
