3.1 DIP Switch Configuration Programming at the ACPS-2406 is done by configuring two sets of DIP switches, SW2 and SW3. SW3 is a set of mode selection switches for output circuits one through four, as well as AC Loss, AC Delay, settings for coded NAC patterns, Canadian Trouble Reporting, and Dual Stage operation.
Page 17
***CAUTION: FOR NON-CODED MASTER/SLAVE OPERATION: when a non-coded signal is supplied to the UZC connections of TB6, the same protocol must also be programmed at the slave ACPS-2406 (using SW2.6 and SW2.7) as programmed at the master ACPS-2406. This will ensure operation of all non-coded outputs of the slave ACPS-2406 should signal loss occur of the synchronization input (UZC connections) at TB6.
Determining Address Consumption An ACPS-2406 can occupy an address block of 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, or 13 addresses on an SLC, depending on the configuration of ACPS-2406 DIP Switches. Table 3.2 through Table 3.7 below detail the DIP Switch/ address consumption relationship.
Page 19
DIP Switch Settings at Left Address ✔ SW3.1 ON or OFF 1.Monitor General ✔ SW3.2 ON or OFF 2. ACPS-2406 Output #1 B + 1 ✔ SW3.3 ON or OFF 3. ACPS-2406 Output #2 B + 2 ✔ SW3.4 ON or OFF 4.
ACPS-2406 address requirements. All addresses included in the address block must be programmed points at the FACP whether or not the output points are actually used. Note: The lowest base address for the ACPS-2406 is 05. Do not set the FACP addresses 00 through 04 for the ACPS-2406. The Rotary Switch The rotary switch SW1 determines the address decade.
Note: All addresses included in the address block must be programmed points at the FACP whether or not the output points are actually used. Even though some of the 13 possible ACPS-2406 addresses may be skipped, none of the addresses in the FACP address block may be skipped.
Selecting Dual Stage Mode Dual Stage is selected by setting ACPS-2406 switches SW3.7 to ON and SW3.8 to OFF. ACPS-2406 Dual Stage output circuits must be set to the coded NAC option (See Table 3.1 for settings) Addressing in Dual Stage Mode When the ACPS-2406 is set to Dual Stage, each output circuit uses two control addresses, even if the circuit is not configured for Dual Stage (i.e., not a coded NAC).
Alert Software Zone Z1 will activate when the Z1 equation is satisfied. ALERT = OR(Z1). A CBE (Control-by-event) in this equation refers to any local CBE that is programmed into this point. It could be a CBE that programs four cross-zoned detectors, for example. ACPS-2406 PN 51304:B 09/02/2003...

4.4 Synchronization The ACPS-2406 provides synchronization to Gentex, SpectrAlert Series and Wheelock strobes and horns. When the ACPS-2406 is set for synchronization with DIP switches SW2.6 and 2.7, these NAC devices will flash and/or sound together The ACPS-2406 can also provide synchronization for bells and horns when used with a UZC-256 Universal Zone Coder if the NAC output is configured for coded signals only.
