Tyco AutoPulse Z-10 - Wiring Notification Appliance Circuits

3-12
Adhere to the following guidelines when wiring Notification Appliance Circuits.
 All wiring is to be 18 AWG (min.) to 12 AWG (max.)
 Conductors must test free of all grounds.
 All wiring is supervised and power limited.
 Leave a 10K, 1/2 W (Part No. 431222) resistor across all unused NAC terminals. See 4 in
Figure 3-8.
 Terminate Style Y (Class B) circuits with a listed 10K, 1/2 W (Part No. 431222) end-of-line
resistor. See 5 in Figure 3-8.
 For Canadian applications, attach a 10K ½ W resistor (Part No. 431222) to a ULC-listed End
of Line Device.
 Terminate Style Z (Class A) circuits with a listed 10K, 1/2 W (Part No. 431222) end-of-line
resistor. See 6 in Figure 3-8.
 Voltage rating – nominal 24 VDC, 0.5 V peak-to-peak ripple (max.)
 Total available current from main power supply is 3 A. If auxiliary power is used, available
signal power is reduced accordingly.
 Terminal designations “+” and “-” are for the alarm state.
 Maximum alarm current is 2A per circuit. See Table 3-2 for line distance.
 The operation of the NAC (Off on Reset; Off on Silence) is determined by the setting of the
NAC Operation programming option. See Chapter 4 of this manual for information on setting
this option.
 When wiring NYC Abort operation, NAC1 is used for connecting bells and bell strobes
associated with the investigation timer, NAC2 is used for connecting audible notification
appliances, and RAC2 is used for connecting visual notification appliances.
 When NAC 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 for
alarm state is 26 VDC. Maximum current: 2ADC.
