QuickAlert Class A / Class B Guidelines

Overview

Class A QuickAlert

Technical Manuals Online! - http://www.tech-man.com
The term QuickAlert with SmartSync operation refers to a family of Simplex
A/V and VO notification appliances that allow both horns and the synchronized
strobes to work independently on a two-wire notification appliance circuit. The
strobes operate in an "On until Reset" mode and the horns operate in an "On
until Silence" mode. All references to QuickAlert in this document are in
regards to QuickAlert with SmartSync operation.
When programming QuickAlert with SmartSync operation, you must be aware
of the following requirements and differences between Class A and Class B
applications.
Class A QuickAlert with SmartSync operation depends on the following:
•
All strobes must be Simplex synchronized VO, not free run. All A/Vs,
must be QuickAlert SmartSync compatible. Other manufacturer's
appliances are not compatible on a SmartSync, two-wire circuit.
•
A 4905-9938 SmartSync Control Module (SCM) is required for all
Class A QuickAlert Applications. The SCM must be mounted within
20 feet of the control panel and all wiring must be in metal conduit.
Refer to 4010 Field Wiring Drawings (841-058) and the 4905-9938
QuickAlert Sync Control Module Installation Instructions (574-719)
for specific installation instructions. (Note: 4010-9806 Class A
Adapter module is not required for Class A QuickAlert.)
•
Each SCM requires a Notification Appliance Circuit designated as the
loading circuit. This circuit handles all power consumption of the VO
and A/V appliances connected to the NAC output of the SCM.
•
For Multi-sync operation, one Notification Appliance Circuit must also
be designated as the Horn Control Notification Appliance Circuit. This
allows for the interconnection of multiple SCM's configured in a
Master/Slave configuration to synchronize the QuickAlert devices.
•
In the 4010 panel, for QuickAlert with Multi-sync applications, there
would only be three circuits available for the "loading" Notification
Appliance Circuits and one available for the "Horn Control"
Notification Appliance Circuit. (4009 IDNet can be added if
additional signals are required.)
•
For a General Alarm operation, the "loading" NAC must use a point
type of RSIGNAL (Off on Reset) while the "Horn Control" NAC must
use a point type of SSIGNAL (Off on Silence).
•
QuickAlert Horn operation (Slow March Time, Steady or Temporal) is
set by a dip switch on the SCM.
