three Signaling Line Circuits (SLC). Each of which provides control and power to the full range
of TrueAlert appliances.
The TrueAlert power supplies are identical to each other with the following exceptions:
If you are wiring Class A circuits, you need to install a 4100-5124 Class A Adapter Card onto the
TrueAlert Power Supply before installing the power supply. Refer to Document # 579-337 for
more information.
This product is compatible with the 4100U and 4100ES Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP).

Page 3: Introduction To The Tps
Introduction to the TPS Overview The features of the TrueAlert Power Supply are: Three Signaling Line Circuits. The TPS provides uninterruptible power and control to three separate channels of TrueAlert addressable notification appliances. Each channel is referred to as a Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) and is power limited, power limited is defined in NFPA 70 (National Electric Code). - Page 4 Introduction to the TPS, Continued Additional Features Full TrueAlert Operation. TrueAlert addressable notification appliances are individually addressed and receive power, supervision, and control signals over the SLC. Horns sound with selectable high or low output, using a temporal, march time (60 or 120 beats per minute), or continuous pattern.

Page 9: Power Distribution Module/Battery Connections
Power Distribution Module/Battery Connections Overview The TPS gets its power from the Power Distribution Module (PDM). The PDM takes power directly from a dedicated AC line and the two backup batteries, and distributes power to each bay in the cabinet. Power Distribution The Power Distribution Module (PDM) connects to every power supply in each back box. -
