Installation Precautions

To avoid incorrect installation and operation, strictly observe the following precautions:
Caution!
Incorrect system operation
Follow all instructions in this manual. Do not deviate.
!
Comply with all codes and standards set forth by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
Do not assume any installation details not shown in this manual.
Do not alter any mechanical or electrical features of the equipment supplied.
Notice!
Within this document, FPA-1000 refers to both the FPA-1000-UL and FPA-1000-V2. Reference
to a complete identifier (FPA-100-UL or FPA-1000-V2) indicates the text applies to only that
product/system.
Extent/limitations of synchronization
There are two mainboard NACs on each panel that are synchronized with one another.
Separate panels are not synchronized with each other.
You can add up to four addressable FPP-RNAC-8A-4C NAC power supplies. These remote
power supplies provide Aux power and up to 16 synchronized remote NAC circuits. They are
not synchronized with the mainboard NACs, but they are synchronized with each other.
Some signaling line devices function as NACs (for example, sounder bases or strobes). The
SLC devices that are on the same SLC are synchronized with each other, but they are not
synchronized devices on the other SLC nor with the mainboard or RNAC NACs.
