While a fire alarm system may lower insurance Fire Alarm System Limitations rates, it is not a substitute for fire insurance! An automatic fire alarm system–typically made up of Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, alarm only when heat on their sensors increases at a audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control with predetermined rate or reaches a predetermined level.

Overview Description The figures below identify the features of the APS-6RF power supply: Trouble In (J4) - Trouble Out (J3) “P” style connectors for internal cabinet connections Three 24 VDC output circuits LED Status Indicators: Two (2) power-limited Green LED – Indicates AC power on One (1) non power-limited Yellow LED –...
Specifications 1. Overview Specifications The APS-6RF is compatible with the Sensiscan 2000, and Sensiscan 200 control panels. Specifications for the APS-6RF are: Electrical Specifications AC Primary Input Power 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 2.5 A Wire Size: #14 AWG with 240 VAC, 50 Hz, 1.2 A...
2. Installation WARNING: Use extreme caution when working with the APS-6RF. High voltage and AC line-connected circuits are present. Turn off and remove all power sources. To reduce the risk of electric shock make sure to properly ground the unit.
• Wiring multiple APS-6RF power supplies. • Connecting an APS-6RF to an IC module Field Wiring an APS-6RF You can use J1 and J2 in place of TB2 when the APS-6RF is powering internal modules (such as an IC-4F, ICE-4F, TC-2F, TC-4F) with compatible connectors.
Wiring the APS-6RF 2. Installation Connecting Multiple APS-6RF Power Supplies Typical trouble bus connections for multiple APS-6RF power supplies using trouble connectors J3 and J4. Use Cable 71033 or 75098 (same cables; different lengths) for all wiring. See appendix on your system for specific “Trouble Input” connection.
Wiring the APS-6RF Connecting the APS-6RF to an IC-4F/ICE-4F Module All four (4) NACs on the IC-4F are powered from the APS-6RF output circuit 2 (J2) and the four (4) NACs on the ICE-4F are powered from circuit 1 (J1). The NACs share the total 3A available from each circuit.
Configuring the APS-6RF 2. Installation Configuring the APS-6RF The APS-6RF may be configured for the following: • 8-hour delay for reporting loss of AC: cut jumper JP2. • 16-hour delay for reporting loss of AC: cut jumper JP2 and JP3.
Servicing the APS-6RF Servicing the APS-6RF The only serviceable components on the APS-6RF are fuses F1 and F2. If a fuse fails, replace it with a fuse of the same type and rating: • F1 AC protection - 4A, 3 AG •...
Place the APS-6RF onto the mounting studs in the backbox. Insert a standoff through each of the printed circuit board mounting holes, threading each standoff to the mounting studs. Tighten the standoffs until the APS-6RF is securely fastened to the backbox. Reinstall the plastic chassis cover.
