BE-XP Basic Equipment Package ;3 7UDQVSRQGHU ,QYHQWRU\ The XP Transponder is comprised of the following two categories: • Basic Equipment Package (BE-XP) • Optional XP Transponder Components The Basic Equipment package includes the minimum parts required in each Transponder system. To complete a remote installation, additional components such as a cabinet and a power supply are needed.
XP Transponder Expansion Modules ;3 7UDQVSRQGHU ,QYHQWRU\ The XPM-8 provides eight Style B or four Style D Initiating Device Circuits. These circuits can employ two-wire detectors and any normally open-contact alarm initiating device (manual pull stations, heat detectors, four-wire smoke detectors, etc.). Each circuit assumes a separate SLC address in the system and has a separate or dual red status LED at the bottom of the XPM-8 board.
XP Transponder Power Supplies ;3 7UDQVSRQGHU ,QYHQWRU\ The MPS-24A or MPS-24AE supplies the filtered power needed to run the XP Transponder modules. It also supplies up to 3 amps of filtered notification appliance power, permitting the use of a variety of standard UL listed 24 VDC notification appliances.
Optional XP Transponder Components ;3 7UDQVSRQGHU ,QYHQWRU\ The APS-6R Auxiliary Power Supply is designed to power devices that require filtered, non-resettable power, such as XP Transponder modules, Notification Appliance Circuit modules, and Control modules. It provides two 24 VDC (filtered) output circuits (3 A each, 6 A total, 4 A continuous).
Page 11
Optional XP Transponder Components ;3 7UDQVSRQGHU ,QYHQWRU\ The low-profile CHS-4L is used to mount AA-30/ AA-30E Audio Amplifiers, Audio Message/Tone Generators, the Fire Fighters Telephone, or AVPS-24/ AVPS-24E Audio-Visual Power Supplies in the same cabinet as the XP Transponder. The BP-3 Battery Dress Panel covers the Main Power Supply and the batteries in an XP Transponder cabinet.
Mounting the Cabinet Backbox ;3 7UDQVSRQGHU ,QVWDOODWLRQ In a clean, dry area, mount the backbox using the four holes provided in the back surface of the cabinet. For backbox dimensions and mounting hole locations, %DFNER[ refer to Notifier Document 15330 0RXQWLQJ included with each cabinet.
Installing the XPP-1 into the CHS-4 ;3 7UDQVSRQGHU ,QVWDOODWLRQ Follow Steps 1 through 4 in Figure 4 below to install an XPP-1 into the CHS-4 chassis. Step 2 Step 1 Carefully push the XPP-1 toward Insert the XPP-1 into the left-most the back of the cabinet until the slot on the CHS-4, angling the module is vertical.

7KH 3RZHU 6XSSOLHV The MPS-24B/MPS-24BE Main Power Supply The MPS-24B/MPS-24BE automatically employs Ground Fault Detection (required in Canada) unless resistor R55 is removed. This feature must be disabled on all but one power supply if multiple power supplies are present and share a common signal reference.
7KH 3RZHU 6XSSOLHV The MPS-400 Main Power Supply The MPS-400 Main Power Supply is capable of powering the XP Transponder if installation within the AFP-400 backbox is desired. Power is provided via the accessories terminal (J1) on the MPS-400. A total of 3.0 amps @ 24 VDC is available from the MPS-400 Main Power Supply for operating the system during non-fire alarm conditions.
7KH 3RZHU 6XSSOLHV The NR45-24 and NR45-24E Remote Battery Chargers refer to the APS-6R manual listed in the Related Documentation Chart of this manual. WARNING: Use extreme caution when working with the APS-6R - high voltage and AC line-connected circuits are present in the APS-6R. Turn off and remove all power sources.
7KH 3RZHU 6XSSOLHV The CHG-120 Battery Charger Do not connect AC power or batteries until the system is completely wired and ready for testing.

)LHOG :LULQJ WKH ;3 7UDQVSRQGHU The XPR-8 Module With Four Dual Form-C Relays The relay contacts on the XPR-8 may be connected to either a power-limited or non power-limited source, but not both. If the relay contacts are connected to a non power- limited source, this wiring must remain separated by at least a 1/4-inch from all power- limited wiring.
)LHOG :LULQJ WKH ;3 7UDQVSRQGHU Internal Connection of Relay Contacts for Multi-Channel Applications Slide Switches SW1, SW2, and SW3 on the XPR-8 Relay Module can be used to internally connect relay contacts on connectors P2 and P3. This capability eliminates the need to make wire connections between terminals in multiple-channel voice alarm applications.
Dual-Stage Operation (For Use in AM2020/AFP-1010 Systems in Canada Only) )LHOG :LULQJ WKH ;3 7UDQVSRQGHU Dual-Stage Operation enables the Notification Appliance Circuits of an XPC-8 to generate a pulsing output of either 20 pulses per minute (alert rate) or the NFPA Temporal Pattern (evacuation rate).
3URJUDPPLQJ WKH ;3 7UDQVSRQGHU The XRAM-1 The XRAM-1 is an optional nonvolatile RAM chip that can be installed in the XPP-1. With the XRAM-1, input circuits can be mapped to any specific output circuit(s). This mapping defines how the XP Transponder will operate during stand alone operation and during local mode operation under loss of communication with the FACP.
3URJUDPPLQJ WKH ;3 7UDQVSRQGHU Programming the XP Transponder for Rapid All Call Activation A shunt plug acts as the programming key to enter the 3URJUDPPLQJ .H\ 6WRUDJH 3RVLWLRQ XRAM-1 programming mode. Its storage position is at JP1 VWUDGGOLQJ -3 DQG -3 and JP2 on the XPP-1, where it straddles both jumpers.

3URJUDPPLQJ WKH ;3 7UDQVSRQGHU Programming the XP Transponder for Rapid All Call Activation Momentarily press the XP Transponder Reset switch. If All Call has not been previously programmed, all green LEDs on every XPC board should turn on steady indicating that the All Call feature is disabled. This is the default setting of an unprogrammed XRAM-1.
2SHUDWLQJ WKH ;3 7UDQVSRQGHU Normal (No alarm or trouble) Condition All notification appliances and the piezo trouble sounder should be silenced. The green LED should be lit, indicating that power is present. If the Transponder is employed as a peripheral to an FACP, and communication with the control panel has been enabled, the green LED will flicker to the communication rate between the two.
2SHUDWLQJ WKH ;3 7UDQVSRQGHU Acknowledging Troubles the flashing Trouble LED. If more than one trouble exists in one XP Transponder system (row), the trouble LED will annunciate each error sequentially, and repeat the procedure until each trouble has been cleared.
