  • Page 43: Notification Appliance Circuit Calculations

    Notification appliance circuit calculations Introduction This topic shows you how to determine the maximum cable length of a notification appliance circuit (NAC) for a given number of appliances. Two methods are presented: worksheet and equation. The worksheet method is simpler, but your installation must meet the criteria listed on the worksheet. If your installation does not meet these criteria, you need to use the equation method.
  • Page 44 The maximum voltage is the highest voltage measured at the NAC terminals. This value is not used in the calculations, but is given so you can ensure appliance compatibility. The source voltage is the BPS is 19.1 VDC operating minimum for the power supply, and is calculated as 85% of 24 volts minus the internal panel loss.

  • Page 45: Worksheet Method

    Worksheet method Use this worksheet to determine the maximum cable length of a notification appliance circuit for a given number of appliances. Use this worksheet only if all the appliances are regulated. That is, they must have a minimum operating voltage of 16 V. For other appliances, use the “Equation method.”...

  • Page 46: Equation Method

    Equation method Appliance operating voltage and current Regulated notification appliances have an operating range from 16 V to 33 V. Use 16 V as the minimum appliance voltage when using regulated notification appliances. When using special application appliances, refer to the installation sheets to determine the minimum appliance voltage required.
  • Page 47 Calculating cable length To calculate the maximum NAC cable length: 1. Calculate the total current (Itot) as the sum of the maximum operating currents for all the appliances. Itot = ΣIa Where: Ia = appliance maximum current See the appliance installation sheets for Ia. Remember to use the maximum operating current specified for DC power.
  • Page 48 Where: Rmax = maximum resistance Rw = wire resistance factor You’re using regulated notification appliances. Assume that the Example: maximum operating current for each appliance is 100 mA for DC power, and that 20 appliances will be placed on the NAC. The cable is 12 AWG wire, and the manufacturer specifies a wire resistance factor of 0.002 Ω/ft.

  • Page 49: Understanding Bps Synchronization

    Understanding BPS synchronization When using Genesis devices, the activation of the visible and audible output circuits on the BPS are determined by how the BPSs are connected. No matter how BPSs are connected, their outputs are “in sync” but there is an output activation delay of either one or four seconds.

  • Page 50: Synchronization Of Visible Outputs

    Synchronization of visible outputs In the figure below, all visible output circuits on each BPS activate with a one second delay. This requires that the BPSs be connected in parallel through their sense circuits. Figure 23: Synchronization with a one second output activation delay 10 11 12 13 On Sense Off Sync diagram key...
