Warning

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected

• Consult the dealer or an experienced TV technician for help

Beacon Exit Device Installation and Wiring Instructions

SECTION I: OVERVIEW

1. Description

Part of the ASSA ABLOY LiteGuide family of products, the Beacon exit device provides both audible and visible alerts to enhance the visibility of exit locations in dark or smoke-ﬁlled passages and is intended as a supplement to existing codes for emergency egress lighting and direction.

Connected to the building’s alarm system, an activated Beacon emits pulsing light followed by an audible message declaring “Exit located here” in single or multiple languages. A highly visible green laser light cone combined with the pulsing LEDs draws people directly to the exit.

3. Electrical Speciﬁcations

• Accepts alarm signal from either dry contact relay or 24VDC from the Notiﬁcation Appliance Circuit (NAC) of a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP)

• Low current draw 30mA @ 24VDC in Standby Mode, 900mA max @24VDC in Alarm Mode ensures long operation time on back-up batteries. Power supply required; 24VDC, 1.0 amp, ﬁltered and regulated.

• Test mode and diagnostic trouble reporting for ease of installation and periodic functional checks

• Customizable functionality through on-board adjustment of dip switch and NAC/CC slide switch settings

• Centralized control from ﬁre alarm control panel (FACP) with silence and reset commands

• AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) needs to authorize setup

Caution:

1. Disconnect all input power before beginning installation to prevent electrical shock and equipment damage.

2. Installer must be a trained, qualiﬁed service person.

3. All wiring must comply with applicable local electrical codes, ordinances and regulations.

4. Beacon is equipped with a Class IIIa 5mW max output power (Green) laser.

Warning: Do NOT stare into laser beam.

5. ElectroLynx Wiring System

BEACON exit devices are supplied with one 4-pin and one 8-pin Molex® connector harness, allowing simple installation using the ASSA ABLOY ElectroLynx® system.

IMPORTANT: ElectroLynx connectors plug and

lock together in only one way.

Do NOT force connectors together.

*When calculating voltage drop, use 1A as the recommended current draw for the BEACON

Beacon Input Power: 24VDC (1.0 Amp minimum) from FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel).

Beacon will operate from 16 to 33VDC.

Beacon Alarm input from FACP. Two choices: NAC IN (NAC) 24VDC (8 to 33VDC) or dry contact closure (CC) sets Beacon into Alarm Mode. Set NAC/CC switch on Beacon module to NAC or CC according FACP wiring application.

Additional Alarm signal connections for interconnectiing multiple Beacon rail assemblies

Beacon Silence input signal from FACP. Purpose is to stop Beacon audible (voice messages) during a ﬁre alarm so emergency personnel can listen to their radios. A valid silence condition occurs when 24vdc (8 to 33VDC) signal is present on the Silence Input for >= 500 msec, and is then removed for >= 125 msec.
