• NEC Article 760 Fire Protective Signaling Systems.
• Applicable Local and State Building Codes.
• Requirements of the Local Authority Having Jurisdiction.
SPECIFICATIONS
• Primary (AC) power: 110 – 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz input, 2.7
A maximum.
• Output voltage: 24 VDC electrically regulated and power-
limited (under primary AC mains). Under secondary power,
20.4 to 26.4 VDC.
• Output circuits – TB4, TB5, TB6: 2.5 A maximum for any
one output circuit. For the entire supply, 5.0 A (continuous),
6.0 A during a fire alarm (1 hour UL rating).
• Auxiliary power output: J1 – 24 VDC @ 0.5 A general pur-
pose power (when auxiliary power is used, fourth output rated
for 2.0 A).
• Secondary power (battery) charging circuit – TB2, TB3:
lead-acid battery charger which will charge 7 to 25 AH bat-
teries. Maximum charger current – 1.1 A.
• Wiring: utilizes wire sizes 12 to 18 AWG (3.1 to 0.78 mm²).
• SLC specifications: Average SLC current is 1.287 mA. SLC
data is transmitted between 24.0 VDC, 5 VDC, and 0 VDC
at approximately 3.33 Kbaud.
• Battery fuse (F2): 15A, 3AB.
GENERAL
The ACPS-2406 is an auxiliary power supply and battery charger
with a host of unique features. Each of the four Notification Appli-
ance Circuits (NAC) is individually addressable, eliminating the
need for control modules. In addition, each circuit can provide
notification appliance synchronization without an additional mod-
ule, normally required when non-coded devices are installed. De-
vice manufacturers supported are System Sensor, Wheelock, and
Gentex. The ACPS-2406 is compatible with all NOTIFIER intelli-
gent Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs).
FEATURES
• Each NAC can be synchronized with any of the following
manufacturers’ audio/visual devices:
— System Sensor (SpectrAlert® Series)
— or Wheelock
— or Gentex
• Four NACs individually addressable by the FACP:
— 6.0 A of output power for NAC or 5.0 A of general pur-
pose power.
— Each circuit can be DIP-switch-selected as general pur-
pose 24 VDC power, four-wire detector power, or a No-
tification Appliance Circuit.
— Steady, March Time (120 PPM), Dual Stage, Temporal,
or UZC Zone-Coded and Non-Coded devices — all DIP-
switch-selectable by circuit.
• Universal Zone Coder (UZC-256)/supervised output option
allows for programmable coded outputs. Up to 256 different
codes.
• Charges 7 to 25 AH batteries with full supervision.
• The charger on the ACPS may be disabled via a DIP switch.
When disabled, a remote charger, for example a CHG-120,
may be used to battery-back multiple ACPS supplies.
• AC loss detection and AC loss delay reporting.
• Brownout detection.
• Power-limited outputs.
• Isolated Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) interface.
• Selectable ground fault detection.
• Canadian dual-stage operation.
• Two Class A/B and two Class B (Style Y) only.
• A total of five (or less) ACPS power supplies may be con-
nected together to synchronize multiple power supplies (con-
nect to any NAC output from one ACPS to sync signal input
— single pair required).
INSTALLATION STANDARDS & CODES
The ACPS-2406 complies with the following standards:
• NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm Code.
• Underwriters Laboratories:
— UL 864 Standard for Control Units for Fire Alarm Systems.
— CAN/ULC – S527-M87.
In addition, the installer should be familiar with the following
standards:
