    2.5 Input/Initiating Circuits 2.5.1 CMD Inputs The ECC-50/100 has eight Command Input circuits, which are used to activate the panel amplifiers which, in turn, transmit an audio signal over the system speakers. All field wiring for the circuits is power-limited (Class 2) and supervised for opens and ground faults. Note that zero impedance to ground will cause a ground fault.

  • Page 34: 2: External Audio Input

    The addressable control module may trigger the ECC- 50/100 via reverse polarity (shown) or relay contact. The FACP monitors the ECC-50/100 for faults while in the standby or alarm state by wiring a monitor module to the trouble contacts as shown in Figure 2.1.

  • Page 35: 3: Nac Follower Input

    This can be accomplished by connecting the NAC Follower input at TB18 of the control board to the FACP's NAC output. The ECC-50/100 NAC output will then follow the FACP's NACs. A redundant pair of terminals is provided at TB18 for convenient connection of an EOL resistor, or for wiring to any additional equipment requiring this feature (such as an FCPS-FS6/8 remote power supply).

    Section 5: Getting Started This section describes the basic guidelines for setting up the various ECC-50/100 systems, assum- ing that the speaker and FACP cabling has been installed. 5.1 System Requiring up to 50 Watts of Audio Power Install backbox and chassis assembly as described in Section 2, “Installation”, on page 26.

  • Page 93: Section 6: Power Supply Calculations

    To calculate the non-fire alarm load on the secondary power source, use Calculation Column 1 in Table 6.3. The ECC-50/100 must support a larger load current during a fire alarm condition and primary power loss. To calculate the fire alarm load on the secondary power source, use Calculation Column 2 in Table 6.3.
