Getting started
Description
The 6.5 A and 10 A booster power supplies are designed to extend the power
capacity of an emergency communication, life safety, fire alarm, security, or
access control system. You can activate the BPS from options modules or from a
control circuit. It has four independent NAC/AUX circuits that are supervised,
when configured for NAC. It is also equipped with a fault relay that you can
configure for common trouble (with immediate AC failure indication), or as an AC
mains failure indication relay (with delayed output). The BPS’s sense input #1
also provides a common fault indicator by opening the output side of the sense
circuit.

LED indicators
The BPS has seven LED indicators. See “Component descriptions” for the
location of the LEDs.
Table 1: LED indicators
LED Color Description
AC Green AC power on.
NAC1 Yellow NAC1/AUX1 trouble [1].
NAC2 Yellow NAC2/AUX2 trouble [1].
NAC3 Yellow NAC3/AUX3 trouble [1].
NAC4 Yellow NAC4/AUX4 trouble [1].
BAT Yellow Battery trouble. Indicates that the battery level has fallen below
acceptable levels.
GND Yellow Ground fault. Indicates that a ground fault has been detected on
the field wiring.
[1] The NAC LEDs indicate a trouble with the load or external wiring on the NAC/AUX circuit. For
circuits configured as NACs, this could be an open circuit trouble, short circuit trouble, or an
overload trouble.
For short circuit troubles, the NAC does not activate until the short circuit condition is removed.
For overload troubles, an active NAC is shutdown. After shutdown, if there is no short circuit
condition, the NAC reactivates after 30 seconds and checks to see if the overload condition still
exists.
For AUX circuits, the trouble indicates an overload condition. The AUX circuit is shutdown for
30 seconds and then is reactivated to see if the overload condition still exists.
Trouble indicating and reporting
When the BPS trouble relay is not dedicated to AC power loss reporting (DIP
switch SW2-6 OFF), the trouble conditions listed in the table above are reported
through the trouble relay. Other internal troubles that do not have an associated
LED are also reported via the BPS trouble relay. Other internal troubles include:
DIP switch read trouble, RAM failure, code checksum failure, A to D failure, and
battery charger failure.
All troubles are also reported through both sense circuit trouble relays.

dimensions” below for details.
To surface mount the enclosure:
1. Position the enclosure on the finished wall surface.
2. Fasten the enclosure to the wall surface where indicated.
3. Install all conduits and pull all wiring into the enclosure before proceeding.
To semiflush mount the enclosure:
1. Frame the interior wall as required so that it supports the full weight of the
enclosure and standby batteries.
2. Fasten the enclosure to the framing studs where indicated.
3. Install all conduits and pull all wiring into the enclosure before proceeding.

Installing option modules in the enclosure
Up to three option modules can be installed on the mounting brackets inside the
enclosure. Depending on the model, the device must be either screw-mounted or
snap-mounted to the bracket.
To snap-mount modules on a bracket:
1. Snap the module into a mounting bracket.
2. Connect all wiring. Refer to the module’s installation sheet for wiring
information or to the Signature Series Component Installation Manual
(P/N 270497).
Note: Route the wiring around the perimeter of the enclosure, not across the
circuit board.

2. Remove the circuit board from the plastic backing.
3. Screw the plastic backing to the mounting bracket using two #6, 1/4 flat head
sheet metal screws. See Figure 4 on page 9.
Note: For mounting MN-NETRLY4 modules, refer to the MN-NETRLY4
Network Relay Module Installation Sheet, P/N 310-1827-ML.
4. Insert the circuit board into the plastic backing.
5. Snap the module’s plastic cover into place.
6. Connect all wiring. Refer to the module’s installation sheet for wiring
information or to the Signature Series Component Installation Manual
(P/N 270497).

Installing the circuit board in the enclosure
You may have to remove the circuit board to install the enclosure. Reinstalling
the circuit board in the enclosure must be done with accuracy to avoid causing
ground faults or shorts. The screws and standoffs must be installed correctly and
in the right positions. Use the diagrams below to install the circuit board.

Setting the jumpers
There are four jumpers on the BPS. See Figure 1 on page 4 for the location of
the jumpers.
NAC Class A or Class B (JP1 and JP2)
JP1 and JP2 are used to select a Class A or Class B NAC wiring configuration
for all NACs. The default is Class B.
Note: JP1 and JP2 must be positioned to match the SW2-8 DIP switch selection
(Class A or Class B).

Ground fault enable (JP3)
JP3 is used to set the NAC/AUX circuits for ground fault enabled or disabled
operation. The sense inputs are always isolated from local power.
Enabled: Allows the BPS to perform its own ground fault checking. This is the
default position.
Disabled: Disable the BPS's ground fault detection only when the controlling
panel is providing ground fault detection for the BPS output circuits. See
Figure 8 on page 13 for wiring information.

Battery charging (JP4)
The battery charging jumper is a small wire that controls how the batteries are
charged. Battery size determines whether you must cut the jumper wire or leave
it intact.
