24Vdc / 8 Amp Power Supply (Seismic)
For installations requiring Seismic compliance, the only external power supply which is certified for use
with the teleCARE IP system is model HPFF8 by Honeywell Power Products, which can be purchased
through an electrical supplier such as, Graybar or Arrow.
Note: The HPFF8 is listed under OSHPD Special Seismic Certification Pre-Approval:
OSP-0071-10.
The HPFF8 power supply converts 115Vac / 60Hz input power to 24Vdc / 8 Amps of continuous power
output, distributed through four supervised power limited output circuits. The maximum current for any
one output circuit is 3.0 Amperes. Each power output circuit has built in fault detection and automatic
recovery when faults are removed.
There is a built-in charger to charge sealed lead acid batteries. The batteries shall provide Secondary
Power to the teleCARE IP system in the event of mains AC power failure. There is an automatic
switchover to the batteries when input AC power fails. During switchover, there is zero voltage drop at
the power output.
WARNING:
• Batteries must be secured within the HPFF8 cabinet enclosure using Seismic Installation Kit
(SEISKIT-COMMENC).
• Batteries must be lead acid and must comply with UL 2054. (See section 4.3, Secondary Power.)
• The HPFF8 Power Supply is a UL 864 listed power supply, normally intended to power and function
with a Fire Alarm System (FAS). When used to power the teleCARE IP system, the features normally
required to make the power supply operational as a FAS unit are not supported by Ascom.
• Except for the instructions for mounting the unit to a wall, which are provided in the HPFF8
Installation and Operation Manual, follow only the instructions provided in this manual for safety,
setup, configuration, and wiring to the teleCARE IP system.
