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.
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free Installation Precautions installation with long-term reliability: WARNING - Several different sources of power can be Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may connected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all operate erratically or can be damaged when subjected sources of power before servicing.

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. Introduction This section contains instructions for common wiring, configuring and servicing the APS-6RF.
2. Installation Wiring the APS-6RF Wiring the APS-6RF This section contains instructions for wiring the Auxiliary Power Supply as follows: • Typical field wiring from an APS-6RF to a control panel. • 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...
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. Note: J3 and J4 can be interchanged.
2. Installation 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. Typical connections for wiring: IC-4F ICE-4F...
