Tyco AutoPulse Z-10 User Manual

3-5
The Releasing Appliance Circuits (RACs) on the AutoPulse Z-10 are designated on the printed
circuit board as RAC1 and RAC2. Each RAC must connect to a Part No. 430687 coil supervision
module, which in turn connects to two 12 VDC or one 24 VDC solenoid (also known as an
actuator).
Figure 3-2 shows the wiring connections to the AutoPulse Z-10.
 All wiring must be 18 AWG (min.) to 12 AWG (max.).
 Conductors must test free of all grounds.
 All wiring is supervised and power limited unless otherwise noted.
 Wiring between Part No. 430687 coil supervision module (Yell/Black) is not power limited.
Refer to the Coil Supervision Module Wiring Instructions (431303).
 Leave a 10K, 1/2 W (Part No. 431222) resistor across all unused RAC terminals.
 Voltage rating – nominal 24 VDC, 0.5 V peak-to-peak ripple, maximum.
 Total available current from main power supply is 3A. If auxiliary power is used, available
signal power is reduced accordingly.
 Terminal designations “+” and “-” are for the alarm state.
 Connect 24 VDC actuator as shown, only one 24 VDC actuator per RAC.
 Connect 12 VDC actuator as shown, two units must be connected via a maximum of 20 feet
of wiring in conduit.
 For specific actuator wiring instructions, refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
 Only releasing devices meeting the following criteria may be used with the AUTOPULSE
Z-10:
 Releasing devices specified by part number in Table B-2 of this manual.
 Releasing devices in FM categories A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H.
 Max. alarm current is 2A per circuit. See following chart for line distances.
 RAC2 is used as NAC3 (visual notification appliances) for the New York City Abort
application.
 When RAC wiring is routed outside the building, use Listed Secondary Protector 430685. A
protector must be installed at the building entrance such that protected wiring is segregated
from unprotected (outdoor) wiring.
 Maximum open circuit voltage, non-alarm (standby) state is 29 VDC. Maximum voltage,
alarm state is 26 VDC. Maximum current: 2 ADC.

Note: When RAC wiring is routed outside the building, use Listed Secondary Protector 430685. A protector
must be installed at the building entrance such that protected wiring is segregated from unprotected (outdoor)
wiring.
