FireSwitch108 Installation Guide

Overview:
Altronix FireSwitch108 is a cost-effective managed NAC Power Extender. It interfaces with 12 or 24VDC Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACP) to provide Notification Appliance Circuit expansion support, for additional horns/ strobes to allow ADA compliancy. It also provides auxiliary power to support system accessories. It delivers electronically regulated and filtered 24VDC power to Class B or Class A NAC loop circuits. Alarm current can be divided between the eight (8) outputs for powering NAC devices. Outputs are rated at 2.5A max., and can be independently programmed for Steady, Temporal Code 3 or Strobe Synchronization. All outputs may be programmed for Input to Output Follower Mode (output will follow input. i.e. March Time Input, March Time Output). In non-alarm condition independent loop supervision for Class A and/or Class B FACP NAC circuits is provided. In the event of a loop trouble, the FACP will be notified via the steered input (Input 1 or Input 2). In addition, there are common trouble output terminals [NC, C, NO] which are used to indicate general loop/ system trouble. Two (2) FACP signaling outputs can be employed and directed to control supervision and power delivery to any combination of the eight (8) outputs. It provides a programmable LCD display interface, plus an ethernet port interface for remote programmability and monitoring.

FireSwitch108 Installation Guide

FireSwitch Applications: 1. General Information:
Altronix FireSwitch units are very versatile devices. They can be used with or without specific synchronization modules provided by some manufacturers. Multiple units can be synchronized by using either the built-in sync mode or a external synchronization module. Please note that only notification appliances with synchronization capabilities can be synchronized. Units can operate with either one (1) or two (2) outputs from the FACP.

2. Class A and Class B Connections: Units can be used with the outputs configured for: · Four (4) Class A (Fig. 6). · Up to eight (8) Class B. · Combination of Class A and Class B outputs (Fig. 7).

should be programmed for 2e mode. FACP has to

initiate output 2 only during CO alarm and Output 1

and Output 2 during fire alarm condition.

To silence the horns during fire alarm condition

Output 2 has to be turned off, but Output 1 has to stay on.

During CO alarm (Input 2 initiated only) horns will generate CO alert sequence (Temporal 4 pattern) and strobes

will flash every second. During fire alarm condition (Input 1 only or Inputs 1 and 2) strobes will flash and horns

will generate Temporal3 pattern, unless silenced.

2e

Generates T3 horn temporal pattern or T4 temporal pattern (see above).

Horn settings for CO alarm: Gentex, Potter - Horns must be set to Steady mode. System Sensor - Horns must be set for a coded output.

4. Non-Synchronizable NAC Appliances: When using NAC appliances not designed to support
synchronization feature, it is recommended to use separate output circuits for audible notification appliances (horns) and visual notification appliances (strobes). Program the FireSwitch to follow Input 1 [IN1] and for audible notification appliances to follow Input 2 [IN2]. This will allow, when using two (2) outputs from the FACP, to support silencing of audible notification appliances. When using only one (1) FACP output, program to follow Input 1 [IN1]. The units outputs can each be set for the desired NAC drive signal, such as Code 3 (Output Programming Selection Table, pg. 9). Non-synchronizable Audible Appliances will follow the sequence, when feature is selected.

5. Using Multiple NAC Power Extenders from an FACP: FireSwitch is designed to follow (replicate) the coded sequence, generated by a manufacturer's sync module.
Up to eleven (11) FireSwitch108 units can be synchronized when interconnected with a host FACP. Connect the output of the FACP module to Input 1 and Input 2 Terminate the input circuit with the EOL (FACP), connecting it to terminals marked [RET +] and [RET ­], or continue the input circuit, connecting to terminals marked [RET +] and [RET ­] to [INP +] and [INP ­] of the next unit when multiple units need to be triggered.

In case FACP does not have any synchronization capabilities and the sync mode is not used, the notification appliance synchronization will not be provided.

6. Synchronizing NAC Power Extender Using Built-In Sync Protocol: FireSwitch units include built-in protocols to support Amseco/Potter, Gentex®, System Sensor® or
CooperWheelock® two-wire synchronizable devices, therefore an external sync module is not required (Output Programming Selection Table, pg. 9). In these modes, Input 1 is always used to activate visual notification appliances (strobes), and Input 2 is used to activate and silence audible notification appliances (strobes) (Table, pg. 9). Note: Input 1 has to be activated in all the configurations.
