Section 2: System Overview 2.1 System Description The XLS140 and XLS140E control panels are modular, intelligent fire alarm control panels (FACPs) with an extensive list of powerful features. The control panel integrates a central processing unit (CPU), a 6 amp power supply, and a battery charger. This is combined with a mounting chassis and cabinet to create a complete fire alarm control system.
2.2 System Components 2.2.1 Basic Equipment Required A basic XLS140 system requires at least the following components: The control panel. XLS140-CPU (120V operation) or XLS140-CPUE (240V operation). This printed circuit board is the “control panel” itself and the heart of the system. It also includes an expander cable for connecting panel modules, a grounding cable, battery interconnect cables, and document kit.
BATTERY INCREMENT LEVELS NUMBER Figure 2.1 XLS140 Control Panel with Optional Keypad/Display Unit Installed 2.2.3 Main Power Supply The main power supply is an integral part of the control panel’s circuit board. It provides a total of 3 A (6 A in alarm) and contains an integral battery charger.
