Installing External Sounders - First Alert FA2000C Installation And Setup Manual

Installing External Sounders

The FA2000C provides one notification appliance circuit output rated 12VDC nominal (10-14VDC), 1A maximum, which
may be connected to 12V alarm indicating devices (horns, bells, sirens, etc.). This output may be configured for Style Y
EOLR supervision or no supervision and is intended for use as a supervised fire alarm indicating circuit.
• The bell output must be used for fire alarm annunciation when the FA2000C is used as a stand alone local
control. Unless otherwise specified by the local AHJ, use of the bell output is not required for all other DACT and
stand alone control installations. When used, the bell should be configured for supervision. 24 hour non-fire
alarms (ex. type 07) must be programmed to activate the auxiliary relay output and not the bell output.
The total alarm current that can be drawn from the bell, auxiliary relay, and auxiliary power outputs combined
•
must not exceed 1A.
•
Commercial fire alarm systems require Notification Appliance Circuit to be supervised.
U L
•
This control complies with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requirements for temporal pulse
sounding of fire notification appliances.
Notification Appliance Circuit Supervision
When supervision is enabled, the FA2000C monitors the Notification Appliance Circuit wiring for open and short circuit
faults while the output is inactive. The system provides a trouble indication on Zone 6 (Zone 6 must be programmed for
a 24-hour response type) when an open occurs; or when a short occurs between the Bell (+) and Bell (-) terminal wiring,
or between the Bell (+) terminal wiring and earth ground.
Wiring the Alarm Output
The wiring of the Notification Appliance Circuit depends upon whether you are going to supervise the circuit
or not. Use the appropriate procedure below for your application.
U L
Use only UL Listed sounding devices for UL installations.
