Notification Appliances
Notification Appliances operate with the Aura Fire Alarm ControlPanel in a special application or regulated
mode. The panel supports the simultaneous operation of regulated and special application outputs between
NACs.
The Aura Fire Alarm ControlPanel does not support the simultaneous operation of regulated and special
application outputs on the same NAC channel.
The panel supports special application outputs when operating:
l Gentex NAC devices
l System Sensor NAC devices
l Wheelock NAC devices
l Amseco NAC devices
Synchronization modules are not required and should not be used on special application outputs.
Synchronization
NAC synchronization can be performed across all NAC channels of an individual panel. NAC synchronization
cannot be performed across multiple panels.
The Aura Fire Alarm ControlPanel provides internal device synchronization between the outputs of NACs
when operating NAC devices from Gentex, Amseco, System Sensor, or Wheelock without the use of an
external synchronization module. External synchronization modules must not be used on the NAC outputs
when operating in the synchronization mode.
While most systems only use one device manufacturer, the Aura panel can synchronize strobe devices from
any two manufacturers simultaneously. Devices from different manufacturers cannot be combined on the same
channel. Audible synchronization across manufacturers can only be accomplished between Gentex and
System Sensor.
The maximum number of strobes that can be synchronized for each brand is
l Amseco 2.37A / 88mA = 27 appliances
l Gentex 2.5A / 78mA = 32 appliances
l System Sensor 1.32A / 66mA = 20 appliances
l Wheelock 2.5A / 60mA = 41 appliances
