3.0 OPERATION
3.1 MODES OF OPERATION
The PS-12/24-8 POWERPATH can provide a 12 or 24VDC output when initiated by a 9 to 30VDC appliance (IN1 or IN2) or an
open contact (DRY1 or DRY2). The output will remain on until the deactivation of the input returns it to its normal mode.
The outputs can be configured as four Class “B” circuits, two Class “A” circuits, or two Class “B” and one Class “A” circuits.
Each Class "A" or Class "B" circuit is 2 Amps.
There are four output modes which can be used with either Class “A” or Class “B” circuits.
NORMAL MODE Used for a constant 12 or 24VDC output.
TEMPORAL MODE Provides a temporal output for appliances that can utilize a coded signal. (i.e. single
stroke bells and chimes and some horns) (NOTE: Do not use with Wheelock AS, NS,
RSS appliances.)
IN>OUT SYNC MODE Allows a coded signal or synchronization signal input to be utilized by the
POWERPATH. These appliances may come from a FACP, another PS-12/24-8 or a
Wheelock Synchronization Module (SM-12/24 or DSM-12/24). Audibles can also be
silenced.
WHEELOCK SYNC MODE Activates the built-in Wheelock Synchronization Mode for use with patented
synchronized horns and strobes. Audibles can also be silenced.
