Altronix

The 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.

Features:

• Local and remote status monitoring (LCD display/Ethernet port)
• EOL resistor value is programmable by output
• Temporal code 3, steady mode and input to output follower mode
• CO Temporal code 4 (NFPA720) include Gentex, potter and system sensor devices
• Thermal and short circuit protection with auto reset
• Signal circuit trouble memory - quickly locates intermittent system trouble and eliminates unnecessary service calls
• Synchronize up to twelve (12) FireSwitch108 units
• UL Listed in the U.S. and Canada for fire alarm systems
• California state fire marshall approved
• Power outputs are programmable as:
• 8 Class B NAC outputs
• 4 Class A NAC outputs
• Aux. power outputs (with or without battery backup)
• Any combination of the above

Specifications:

• Power input: 120VAC, 60Hz, 4.8A.
• Outputs Voltage: 24VDC regulated power-limited NACs.
• 2.5A max current per output.
• One (1) auxiliary output rated at 1A (regulated, battery backed up). 0.45A for Canadian applications.
• Any NAC can be configured as an Aux. output with or without battery back-up (special application only). When set as Aux. output, the output is not supervised. Use UL Listed end of line device for the applications if supervision is required.
