AL802ULADA - NAC Power Extender
Overview:
The Altronix AL802ULADA is an extremely cost effective 8 amp remote power supply/battery charger. It may be connected to any 12 or 24 volt Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). Primary applications include Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC such as strobes and horns) expansion support to meet ADA requirements. It also provides auxiliary power to support system accessories. The unit delivers electronically regulated and filtered 24 volt power to Class B, Style W, X, Y or Class A, Style Z NAC loop circuits. Additionally, a separate 1.0A auxiliary output for four (4)-wire smoke detectors is available. The 8 amp max. alarm current can be divided between the four (4) outputs for powering NAC devices. Each output is rated at 2.5 amp 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). An individual output of 4 amp is achieved by paralleling 2 outputs. In non-alarm condition independent loop supervision for Class A, Style Z and/or Class B, Style W, X, Y 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. A common trouble input is provided for optional NC (normally closed) devices to report trouble to the FACP. Two
(2) FACP signaling outputs can be employed and directed to control supervision and power delivery to any combination of the four (4) outputs.

1.Mount unit in the desired location. Mark and predrill holes in the wall to line up with the top two keyholes in the enclosure. Install two upper fasteners and screws in the wall with the screw heads protruding. Place the enclosure’s upper keyholes over the two upper screws; level and secure. Mark the position of the lower two holes. Remove the enclosure. Drill the lower holes and install two fasteners. Place the enclosure’s upper keyholes over the two upper screws. Install the two lower screws and make sure to tighten all screws (Enclosure Dimensions, pg. 12).
Secure enclosure to earth ground (Fig. 1, pg. 3).
2.Connect the line (L) and neutral (N) terminals to a separate unswitched AC circuit (120VAC, 60Hz) dedicated to the Fire Alarm System.
3.Measure output voltage before connecting devices.This helps avoiding potential damage.
4.Connect battery to the terminals marked [+ BAT --] on the Power Supply Board (battery leads included). Use two (2) 12VDC batteries connected in series.
5.Set output selection switches marked [OUT1 through OUT4] to follow corresponding input [IN1 & IN2] and desired output signal type (Output Programming Selection Table, pg. 4).
6.Connect FACP output to the desired AL800LGK9E logic board inputs, and notification appliances to the desired AL800LGK9E logic board outputs (see Application Guide).
Note: The 2-wire horn/strobe sync mode will only synchronize horns, horn/strobes, strobes with synchronization capability.
7.For connection of smoke detectors, digital dialer see Optional Hookup Diagram, pg. 7.

*Note: The AL802ULADA will only synchronize horns, horn/strobes and strobes that contain synchronization capability. Contact signal manufacturer for more detailed info. The same synchronization mode must be selected for all outputs
Note: It is required to control visual notification appliances (strobes) via input 1 (IN1) and audible notification appliances (horns) via input 2 (IN2). This allows audible notification appliances (horns) to be silenced while visual notification appliances (strobes) continue to operate.
