ACPS-2406

Addressable Charger/Power Supply

with built-in synchronization

Section: Power Supplies

GENERAL

The ACPS-2406 is an auxiliary power supply and battery charger
with a host of unique features. Each of the four Notification Appli­ance Circuits (NAC) is individually addressable, eliminating the
need for control modules. In addition, each circuit can provide
notification appliance synchronization without an additional mod­ule, normally required when non-coded devices are installed. De­vice manufacturers supported are System Sensor, Wheelock, and
Gentex. The ACPS-2406 is compatible with all NOTIFIER intelli­gent Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs).

FEATURES

• Each NAC can be synchronized with any of the following
manufacturers’ audio/visual devices:

— System Sensor (SpectrAlert® Series)
— or Wheelock
— or Gentex

• Four NACs individually addressable by the FACP:
— 6.0 A of output power for NAC or 5.0 A of general pur-

pose power.

— Each circuit can be DIP-switch-selected as general pur-

pose 24 VDC power, four-wire detector power, or a No­tification Appliance Circuit.

— Steady, March Time (120 PPM), Dual Stage, Temporal,

or UZC Zone-Coded and Non-Coded devices — all DIP­switch-selectable by circuit.

• Universal Zone Coder (UZC-256)/supervised output option
allows for programmable coded outputs. Up to 256 different
codes.

• Charges 7 to 25 AH batteries with full supervision.

• The charger on the ACPS may be disabled via a DIP switch.
When disabled, a remote charger, for example a CHG-120,
may be used to battery-back multiple ACPS supplies.

• AC loss detection and AC loss delay reporting.

• Brownout detection.

• Power-limited outputs.

• Isolated Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) interface.

• Selectable ground fault detection.

• Canadian dual-stage operation.

• Two Class A/B and two Class B (Style Y) only.

• A total of five (or less) ACPS power supplies may be con­nected together to synchronize multiple power supplies (con­nect to any NAC output from one ACPS to sync signal input
— single pair required).

INSTALLATION STANDARDS & CODES

The ACPS-2406 complies with the following standards:

• NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm Code.

• Underwriters Laboratories:
— UL 864 Standard for Control Units for Fire Alarm Systems.
— CAN/ULC – S527-M87.

In addition, the installer should be familiar with the following
standards:

• NEC Article 760 Fire Protective Signaling Systems.

• Applicable Local and State Building Codes.

• Requirements of the Local Authority Having Jurisdiction.

SPECIFICATIONS

• Primary (AC) power: 110 – 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz input, 2.7
A maximum.

• Output voltage: 24 VDC electrically regulated and power­limited (under primary AC mains). Under secondary power,

20.4 to 26.4 VDC.

• Output circuits – TB4, TB5, TB6: 2.5 A maximum for any
one output circuit. For the entire supply, 5.0 A (continuous),

6.0 A during a fire alarm (1 hour UL rating).

• Auxiliary power output: J1 – 24 VDC @ 0.5 A general pur­pose power (when auxiliary power is used, fourth output rated
for 2.0 A).

• Secondary power (battery) charging circuit – TB2, TB3:
lead-acid battery charger which will charge 7 to 25 AH bat­teries. Maximum charger current – 1.1 A.

• Wiring: utilizes wire sizes 12 to 18 AWG (3.1 to 0.78 mm²).

• SLC specifications: Average SLC current is 1.287 mA. SLC
data is transmitted between 24.0 VDC, 5 VDC, and 0 VDC
at approximately 3.33 Kbaud.

• Battery fuse (F2): 15A, 3AB.

ACPS ADDRESS SELECTION

The ACPS addresses MUST start at an address ending with
either “0” or “5”. DO NOT start the ACPS at address “000”.

Examples of effective start addresses are 5, 10, 15 ... 120;
start addresses can go up to 145 (with 0 – 158 on loop; 13
addresses utilized by programming options), or 85 on CLIP
systems (0 – 99 on loop; 13 ACPS addresses). Dependent
upon the programming options selected (by DIP switches), the
ACPS takes 5 (minimum) to 13 addresses on the SLC loop.

Address functions:

Address 1 = ACPS Trouble; tells FACP the ACPS is in

Trouble.

Address 2 = Activates NAC 1.
Address 3 = Activates NAC 2.
Address 4 = Activates NAC 3.
Address 5 = Activates NAC 4.
Address 6 = Silence Address (activation silences System

Sensor, Wheelock, or Gentex sync strobes).

Address 7 = Monitor AC Fail (Canadian requirement).
Address 8 = Monitor Battery (Canadian requirement).
Address 9 = Monitor Earth Fault (Canadian requirement).
Address 10 = Dual Stage (changes NAC 1 from 20 PPM to

Temporal).

Address 11 = Dual Stage (changes NAC 2 from 20 PPM to

Temporal).

Address 12 = Dual Stage (changes NAC 3 from 20 PPM to

Temporal).

Address 13 = Dual Stage (changes NAC 4 from 20 PPM to

Temporal).
