  • Page 8: Section 1.7: General

    1.7 General The FCPS may be used in a number of different applications. It may be used as a remotely-mounted power supply and battery charger where it can power up to four, coded or non-coded, Notification Appliance Circuits. Alternately, any or all of these circuits may be used as 24 VDC output circuits capable of powering four wire smoke detectors or any device that requires filtered power.
  • Page 9: Installation

    HAPTER Installation General Carefully unpack the system and check for shipping damage. Select a location for the cabinet that is in a clean, dry, vibration-free area where extreme temperatures are not encountered. The area should be readily accessible with sufficient room to easily install and maintain the panel.

  • Page 11: Section 2.3: Ul Power-Limited Wiring Requirements

    2.3 UL Power-limited Wiring Requirements Power-limited and nonpower-limited circuit wiring must remain separated in the cabinet. All power-limited circuit wiring must remain at least 0.25" away from any nonpower-limited circuit wiring. Furthermore, all power-limited circuit wiring and nonpower-limited circuit wiring must enter and exit the cabinet through different conduits.
  • Page 12: Operation

    HAPTER HREE Operation 3.0 Trouble Supervision When a trouble occurs on the FCPS, it must also appear on the main Fire Alarm Control Panel. The remote power supply has two ways of sending this trouble signal to the FACP. However, only one of the trouble reporting methods may be used. 3.1 Supervision via FACP Notification Appliance Circuit Supervision of FACP to FCPS Wiring The FACP supervises the connection between itself and the FCPS via an End-of-Line...
  • Page 13: Section 3.2: Full Supervision Via Input Circuit Or Monitor Module

    Figure 3-1: Wiring Diagram of Multiple FCPS Units 3.2 Full Supervision via Input Circuit or Monitor Module This method of supervision provides FACP annunciation of the FCPS trouble condition even if the FACP is in alarm. The FACP's Notification Appliance Circuit is not used for supervision.
  • Page 14: Special Applications

    HAPTER Special Applications 4.0 Specific Applications 4.1 Controlling Four Outputs from One Input All four FCPS output circuits can be controlled from one control input, which in Figures 4-1a and 4-1b is illustrated as a control module. The control module can be powered from the FCPS auxiliary 24 VDC power output (TB3 terminals 8 &...
  • Page 15 Notes: (The following notes apply to Figure 4-1a) 1) When the remote power supply is in an inactive state (control module not active), a trouble on the power supply will result in an open circuit condition on the control module. As an alternative to monitor for trouble conditions, the trouble contact on the FCPS may be used for independent trouble monitoring (refer to Figures 4-5 and 4-6).
  • Page 16: Section 4.2: Controlling Four Outputs From Two Nac Inputs

    4.2 Controlling Four Outputs from Two NAC Inputs This application expands notification appliance power by an additional 6.0 amps. Use up to four Class B (Style Y) outputs or two Class A (Style Z) and two Class B (Style Y) outputs. In this example, the FACP Notification Appliance Circuits will activate the remote power supply when reverse polarity activation occurs due to an alarm condition.
  • Page 17: Section 4.3: Controlling Four Outputs From One Nac Input

    4.3 Controlling Four Outputs from One NAC Input This application expands notification appliance power by an additional 6.0 amps. Use up to four Class B (Style Y) outputs or two Class A (Style Z) and two Class B (Style Y) outputs.
  • Page 18: Section 4.4: Stand-Alone Power Supply - Nonresettable

    4.4 Stand-Alone Power Supply for Nonresettable Outputs The FCPS may be used as a remote stand-alone power supply to provide up to an additional 4.0 amps of power to any devices that require filtered, regulated, nonresettable power. A nonresettable output is created by jumpering the auxiliary 24VDC output [TB3-8 (+) &...
  • Page 19: Section 4.5: Remote Power Supply Resettable/Nonresettable

    4.5 Remote Power Supply - Resettable and Nonresettable The FCPS may be used as a remote stand-alone power supply to provide up to an additional 4.0 amps of power to any devices that require filtered, regulated, resettable or nonresettable power. A monitor module may be used to monitor the trouble contact of the FCPS.
  • Page 20: Section 4.6: Control Module Activation Of Output Circuits

    4.6 Control Module Activation of Output Circuits This application illustrates the use of addressable control modules instead of Notification Appliance Circuits on an FACP to activate the FCPS remote power supply. Typically, this allows for mounting of the power supply at greater distances from the FACP and expanding the system architecture in various applications.
  • Page 21: Section 4.7: Door Release Service Application

    4.7 Door Release Service This application illustrates the use of the FCPS to power 24 VDC door holders. A signal must be supplied from the FACP to activate the FCPS's outputs. This signal should consist of a 24 VDC source run through a set of normally closed alarm contacts. During a normal (nonalarm) condition, 24 VDC should be applied to the FCPS.
  • Page 22: Battery Calculations

    HAPTER Battery Calculations External Device Power The FCPS provides filtered 24VDC power that may be used for operating Notification Appliance Circuits or other external devices. The power for operating external devices is limited. Use Table 5-1 (standby or nonalarm) and Table 5-2 (alarm) to determine if external loading is within the capabilities of the power supply.
  • Page 23: Document # 50079 Rev. D

    Current Calculations 1. When Using the 6.0 amps Maximum Current Available: Five minutes under full load (6.0 amps current draw) requires 3.0 AH of a 7.0 AH capacity battery. The remaining 4.0 AH capacity must support the FCPS during its required standby time.
  • Page 24 Secondary Power Source Calculations Use the Total Standby and Alarm Load Currents calculated in Tables 5-1 and 5-2 for the following battery calculation. Standby Load Required Standby Time in Hours Current (Amps) (24 or 60 Hours) _________ Alarm Load Required Alarm Time in Hours (i.e. Current (Amps) 5 min.
