2-8.6 Wiring Notification Appliance Circuits
The ARIES NETLink control unit has two on-board notification-appliance circuits (NACs) that are
labeled NAC1 and NAC2. These circuits have field-wiring connections that terminate at J16 and J15,
respectively. If more circuits are desired, an R-NAC Expansion Card offers three additional
R-NAC circuits (which can be used as NAC circuits). Each 24 Vdc regulated NAC circuit can supply
up to 1.5 A of current (for synchronizable devices) or 2.0A (for non-synchronizable devices) at a
nominal 24 Vdc for polarized notification appliances.
CLASS-A and CLASS-B wiring styles are shown below. When wiring for CLASS-A, resistors need to
be connected to a separate conductor to avoid placing two conductors inside a connector terminal.
A wire nut can be used to connect incoming field wiring to a resistor and connect lead wires to a
connector (as shown in the illustration below).
Note: For enclosures which include one or two power supply units, total current output of the
ARIES NETLink must not exceed 5.4 A per power supply unit. For enclosures which include
three or more power supply units, total current output must not exceed the parameters listed
in Appendix A, Section A-5, Calculating Maximum Load For Multiple Power Supply Units In
One Enclosure.

1. Suitable for synchronized and non-synchronized notification appliances.
Use polarized notification appliances only.
2. Maximum single notification-appliance current: 2.0 A for non-synchronized
devices, 1.5 A for synchronized devices.
3. Multiple conductors cannot be used on the terminal blocks. Multiple
conductors are to be connected as depicted at left.
