The SK-PS6 is a 6 amp and the SK-PS10 is a 10 amp remote power supply with battery charger. Both models provide ADA compatible
strobe synchronization and a filtered 24 VDC output that can be configured to drive five (6 amp model) or seven (10 amp model) Class B
NACs (Notification Appliance Circuits). NAC circuits can be configured for Class A wiring with the optional ZNAC-PS Class A converter
module. NAC output circuits may be configured as 24 VDC resettable or non-resettable power outputs, or Class D door holder outputs. The
input circuits, which control the power supply operation, are triggered by the reverse polarity of a NAC or by a 12 VDC or 24 VDC power
source. The SK-PS power supplies are compatible with 12 VDC and 24 VDC control panels.

1.1 General

SK-PS power supplies can be used as remotely mounted power supplies and battery chargers to power non-coded or coded NACs. The Main
FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel) NAC(s) is connected to the remote power supply input circuit(s). When the command input circuit acti-
vates due to reverse polarity of the NAC from the FACP, the power supply will activate its Notification Appliance Circuits.
During the inactive or non-alarm state, the power supply supervises its NAC field wiring for short and open conditions. In Default Mode,
AC fail, battery, charger and ground fault troubles will also be monitored by the power supply and will activate the AC Fail and General
Trouble relay, respectively. In Retrofit Mode, AC fail, battery, charger, and ground fault troubles will activate the General Trouble relay and
either the Input#1 (If Input#1 is configured as Normal) or Input#2(If Input#1 is configured as Sync Input). The retrofit mode also allows to
further customize the AC fail and ground fault trouble indication, to be reported only at the AC fail relay using S1 Global DIP Switch 8. In
both default and retrofit modes, if a NAC fault is detected, the input end-of-line relay will open to indicate the fault to the main panel. How-
ever, in alarm state all input end-of-line relays are closed to allow input signal daisy-chaining. If an alarm condition occurs and the NAC is
activated, the supervision is disabled and the Notification Appliance Circuit is no longer supervised (except for power-limited conditions).
