The 5495 provides its own AC power connection, battery charging circuit, and battery connections. Used with security and fire alarm control panels, the 5495 enables you to connect and distribute power to many more devices than your panel may normally allow.
Model 5495 Distributed Power Module Installation Manual Section 2 UL Requirements When installed in accordance with NFPA 72 standards, the 5495 can be connected to UL Listed devices. The 5495 is also listed to meet UL Standard 864 and power limiting requirements.
System Overview Section 3 System Overview CAUTION Each output circuit is rated at 3 amps. DO NOT OVERLOAD. Overloading a circuit will cause it to shut down (power limit). The circuit will automatically reset once you remove the overload condition. Terminal Descriptions and Electrical Ratings Terminal # Description...
Note: Once the inputs are driven with forward polarity to activate the outputs, the main control panel will not be able to sense trouble conditions through its notification appliance circuit connected to the 5495 input cir- cuits. Use the 5495 trouble relay when it is necessary to monitor trouble conditions and active alarm con- ditions at the same time.
Terminals 3 through 10 are the notification appliance circuit output terminals. Each of the four circuits are rated at 3 amps, although you can only draw a total of 6 amps from the 5495. The 5495 outputs are short-circuit protected (power limited) according to UL 864 standards.
Section 4 Installation Before installing the 5495, the AC input must first be wired into the building’s main electrical power through the TB1 terminals (see Figure 4-2). Shut off the electrical power to the 5495, and then complete the general installation of the 5495 using the information in this section.
Installation Wire Routing To avoid induced noise (transfer of electrical energy from one wire to another), keep input wiring isolated from high current output and power-limited wiring. Induced noise can interfere with telephone communication or even cause false alarms. Avoid pulling a single multiconductor cable for the entire system.
The total current of the 5495, plus all items powered from it, must not exceed 6 A when the panel is in alarm. Use Table 4-2 to ensure that the current does not exceed 6 A and, that the desired amount of standby is possible for the battery intended for use with the 5495.

EOL supplied with the fire alarm control panel. This will cause a trouble on the fire alarm control panel when the 5495 opens its trouble contacts. Note: The N.C. contact is the contact that is closed when the 5495 has power and there are no trouble conditions. Must be connected to...
Model 5495 board. Pay close attention to the polarities when wiring a panel to the 5495 and follow these requirements: • When wiring to Terminal 18 on the 5495, you must use two separate wires. Do not loop a single wire or twist two conductors together. •...
Use an EOL resistor as shown to enable notification appliance circuit input supervision. Some panels use EOLs that have a different value from the 4.7k ohm EOL resistor used by the 5495. In this case, the EOL must be UL listed for the fire alarm control panel (not the 5495).
Battery Connection You must use two 12 volt batteries with the 5495. Use two 12 VDC, 7 AH gel cell batteries in series, such as the, inside the 5495 cabinet. For batteries larger than 7 AH (not to exceed 33 AH)use AB-33 Accessory Battery Cabinet.
Note: The 5495 checks switches 1, 2, 3, and 6 only when powering up the 5495. If you change these switch settings, you must remove both the AC power and the battery to make the 5495 recognize the new settings.

Temporal-coded Options With this new feature, a steady signal can produce the pattern shown above for panels not previously able to do so. Note: The 5495 can also produce temporal patterns if the inputs are non-ANSI temporal configurations. P/N 151161...
Installation 4.8.2 Selecting Synchronized Output Configurations The following sections describe how to configure the 5495 as a synchronization power expander for Amseco, Faraday, Gentex, System Sensor, or Wheelock synchronized horn/ strobe appliances. Note: In order for the synchronization feature to operate properly, make sure you have set the DIP switches for the proper manufacturer.
Model 5495 Distributed Power Module Installation Manual 4.8.2.3 Selecting Sychronized System Sensor Configurations To select the input/outputs for System Sensor synchronized appliances, set the DIP switches as shown in Figure 4-11. Figure 4-11 System Sensor Synchronized Configurations 4.8.2.4 Selecting Sychronized Wheelock Configurations To select the input/outputs for Wheelock synchronizated appliances, set the DIP switches as shown in Figure 4-12.
Switch 5 on the DIP switch determines how the auxiliary power operates on the 5495. The 5495 checks Switch 5 only when powering up the 5495. If you change this switch, you must remove both the AC power and the battery to force the 5495 to recognize the new switch setting.

See Section 4.8.4 for setting the auxiliary power. If you need more than 3 A, wire the inputs as shown in Figure 6-6.
You would have to use the equivalent of a programmable relay from a fire alarm control panel that is programmed to open under alarm conditions. See Section 4.8.4 for selecting auxiliary power options. 5495 Fire Alarm Panel ESL DHX 1224...
Model 5495 Distributed Power Module Installation Manual Section 7 Troubleshooting Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) indicate fault conditions. This section describes the LED states. LEDs The eight LEDs indicate a fault in one of the circuits (either NACs 1 through 4, auxiliary power, earth fault, low AC, or battery).
Troubleshooting Trouble Conditions Trouble Condition What Happens Low AC Input 1 and Input 2 supervision circuits open after a 6 hour delay. (AC input voltage is low or off The green AC LED turns off as soon as low AC or loss of AC occurs (does not wait 6 hours). for 6 hours or longer.) The trouble relay is de-energized after a 6 hour delay.
Model 5495 Distributed Power Module Installation Manual Removing and Replacing the Control Panel This section provides instruction on how to remove and replace the control panel if it is determined that the control panel needs to be repaired or replaced.
UL Listed Notification Appliances For proper operation, you must use polarized devices with a Model 7628 4.7k ohm EOL resistor on each circuit.All supervised notification applicances used with the 5495 must be polarized. Note: Not all devices can use the Sync feature, be sure to check Table A-1 to ensure the device you have chosen will work with this feature.
