Notifier NCA-2 User Manual

NCA-2
ONYX® Series Network Control Annunciator
General
The NOTIFIER NCA-2 is a second-generation Network Con­trol Annunciator for the NOTI•FIRE•NET™ network, com­patible for use with ONYX® Series nodes such as the NFS2­3030, NFS-3030, NFS-320, NFS-640 and NFS2-640 fire alarm control panels, as well as first-generation NCA Net­work Control Annunciators. Additionally, the NCA-2 may be configured with DVC Series products to create one or more Digital Audio Command Centers on NOTI•FIRE•NET™. The NCA-2 provides system control and display capabilities for all, or for selected network nodes.
The NCA-2 display consists of a 640-character backlit LCD display, and a control interface consisting of “soft” keys used to navigate screen menus, “hard” keys with fixed control func­tions, and a QWERTY keypad.
When connected to one or more networked panels the NCA-2 provides network control and status/history display capabilities. It may also be configured as the Primary Display for displayless nodes on the network.

NCA-2 Indicators and Controls
LED INDICATORS
•POWER (green) illuminates when 24 VDC power is applied; LED goes out if power is removed and NCA-2 is using a battery.
•C
ONTROLS ACTIVE (green) illuminates to indicate that the
NCA-2 control functions are active.
IRE ALARM (red) illuminates when at least one fire alarm
•F event exists; flashes when any of these events remain unacknowledged.
•P
RE-ALARM (red) illuminates when at least one pre-alarm
event exists; flashes when any of these events remain unacknowledged.
•S
ECURITY (blue) illuminates when at least one security
event exists; flashes when any of these events remain unacknowledged.
•S
UPERVISORY (yellow) illuminates when at least one
supervisory event exists (i.e., sprinkler valve off normal, low pressure, fire pump running, guard’s tour, etc.); flashes when any of these events remain unacknowl­edged.
•S
YSTEM TROUBLE (yellow) illuminates when at least one
trouble event exists; flashes when any of these events remain unacknowledged.
•O
THER EVENT (yellow) illuminates for any category of
event not listed above; flashes when any of these events remain unacknowledged.
•S
IGNALS SILENCED (yellow) illuminates if the NCA-2
Silence key has been pressed or if any other node sent a Network Silence command; flashes if only some points on a node are silenced.
•P
OINT DISABLED (yellow) illuminates when at least one dis-
able exists on the network or in the system.
•CPU F
FIXED FUNCTION KEYS
•Acknowledge
• Signal Silence
• System Reset
• Drill

Specifications
Temperature and humidity ranges: This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0°C to 49°C (32°F to 120°F); and at a relative humidity (noncondensing) of 85% at 30°C (86°F) per NFPA, and 93% ± 2% at 32°C ± 2°C (89.6°F ±
1.1°F) per ULC. However, the useful life of the system’s
standby batteries and the electronic components may be adversely affected by extreme temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that this system and all peripherals be installed in an environment with a nominal room temperature of 15°C to 27°C (60°F to 80°F). Product weight is 3 lbs (1.36 kilograms).
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The NCA-2 may be powered from a Main Power Supply AMPS-24(E) (see data sheet DN-6883) mounted in a seper­ate cabinet (see specifications below); or from any UL Listed non-resettable 24 VDC source from a NOTIFIER fire panel (see panel data sheets). The battery on the NCA-2 mother­board is for RTC and SRAM; holds the history memory through power failure. Replacements are available (P/N
31004). Power source: 1) AMPS-24 (120 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 4.5
A maximum) or AMPS-24E (240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 2.25 A max­imum) power supply; 2) the NFS-640, NFS2-640 and NFS­320 on-board power supply; or 3) a supervised +24 VDC power supply that is UL/ULC-listed for fire protective ser­vice. The current of the NCA-2 is 400 mA with backlight and 200 mA with the backlight off.
