enclosure UL Listed for appropriate application. Separate battery enclosure is required to have 50 cubic inches of
additional open space. All wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code
NFPA 70/NFPA 72/ANSI/Canadian Electrical Code/CAN/ULC-S524/ULC-S527/ULC-S537 and with all local codes
and authorities having jurisdiction. Battery circuits are not power limited provide 0.25" spacing from power limited
circuits use separate knockout. If additional battery enclosure is required it must be UL Listed for the application
and mounted within 5' of the FireSwitch enclosure in the same room, minimum 12 AWG wire in appropriate
conduit is required for connection. When using conduit, make sure it is installed in a matter where it can not turn.
4. To trigger NAC outputs via the FACP signaling circuit(s) (polarity reversed) set INP1 and INP2 dip switches to
the OFF position. To trigger NAC outputs via the FACP dry relay contact (normally closed NC) set INP1
and INP2 dip switches to the ON position (Fig. 2a, pg. 4).
5. Determine the functionality of outputs [OUT1 through OUT8]. Outputs can be programmed as Class "A" NACs,
Class "B" NACs, Aux. power output(s) with battery backup or Aux. power output(s) without battery backup.
Note: Not all devices can use the sync feature. Be sure to check Appendix A to ensure the device you have
chosen will work with this feature.
Note: When programming outputs for Aux. power it will not be affected by the FACP trigger input.
(Refer to Fig. 4, pg. 7 for Wiring, for Programming refer to pg. 8).
6. Determine which NAC input will trigger the desired NAC output(s).
7. Select output options (for Programming refer to pgs. 8-12).
Note: The 2-wire horn/strobe sync mode will only synchronize horns, horn/strobes, strobes with
synchronization capability.
