1. DESCRIPTIONS

The Model PAD-3 from Siemens Building Technologies, Inc. is a notification and auxiliary power expander that provides up to 6 amps of 24 volt DC for powering notification appliances and auxiliary devices. The PAD-3 provides its own AC power connection, battery charging circuit, and battery connections. Used with a fire alarm control unit, this enables you to connect and distribute power to many more devices than your control unit may normally allow.

1.1 GENERAL DESIGN FEATURES

Inputs

The PAD-3 has two optically isolated inputs that provide the connection from the fire alarm control unit notification appliance circuit to the PAD-3. The inputs also provide a connection for returning a trouble condition to the control unit notification appliance circuit.

The fire alarm control unit supervises its notification appliance circuit used for communicating with the PAD-3 the same way it supervises ordinary NACs. The inputs on the PAD-3 monitor the polarity of the voltage coming from the fire alarm control unit’s NACs to determine when to operate the notification appliance circuit outputs. The PAD-3 emulates the trouble behavior of a NAC by opening the EOL supervision current for trouble conditions. Note that the PAD-3 will sense the polarity of the fire alarm control unit’s NACs to drive the outputs whether or not the supervision connection is intact.

The following situations will open the EOL supervision at the inputs indicating a trouble condition:

• No or Low AC power.

• No and Low battery condition.

• Ground fault to the output wiring.

• Auxiliary Power Supply output over-current condition.

• NAC output open, shorted or over-current condition on outputs associated with its input.

Notes:

If input 1 controls all four outputs, a fault on any output will cause input 1 to indicate trouble. The fault does not affect input 2.

If input 1 controls outputs 1 and 2, and input 2 controls outputs 3 and 4, a fault condition on output 3 or 4 will cause input 2 to indicate trouble. The fault does not affect input 1.

Once the PAD-3’s inputs and outputs are activated, the fire alarm control unit will not be able to sense trouble conditions through its notification appliance circuit connected to the PAD-3 input circuits. Use the PAD-3 trouble relay when it is necessary to monitor trouble conditions and active alarm conditions at the same time.

Notification Appliance Circuit Outputs

The PAD-3 has four dedicated, power-limited, NAC outputs that can be configured as two Style Z (Class A) or four Style Y (Class B) circuits.

The PAD-3 provides three configuration options that will drive outputs as slaves that will follow the input or if the inputs are on constant as ANSI temporal code or Sync strobe/horn operation.

Each of the four outputs is rated at 3 amps, though a total of 6 amps maximum can be drawn from the PAD-3 outputs. The yellow Output LEDs (DS1-DS4) will indicate an open, shorted or over-current condition on its associated NAC Output.

Page 6

Selection of which input controls which output, and which inputs are Style Z (Class A) and Style Y (Class B) is done using the 10 position DIP switch on the printed circuit board. Refer to Section 5 for DIP switch settings.

Auxiliary Power Output

The PAD-3 has a dedicated, power limited, auxiliary output that can be configured in two different ways. The auxiliary output can either be non-resettable (always on), or configured to switch off when the AC power goes off to conserve the battery standby power. When the auxiliary power is configured to switch off, there is a 30-second delay before the auxiliary power is turned off after the AC power goes off. The auxiliary power is for supplementary purposes only if it is configured to switch off when AC is lost.

The Auxiliary Power Output is rated at 3 amps. Only a total of 6 amps maximum can be drawn from the PAD-3 outputs. The yellow Aux PS LED (DS5) will indicate an over-current condition on the output.

NOTE: The Auxiliary Power Output may be limited to 1.5 amps in certain circumstances. Please see Section 6.2, Battery Size Calculation for more details.

Common Trouble Relay

The PAD-3 includes a form C trouble relay that will de-energize for the following trouble conditions:

• No or Low AC power (With selectable delay between 60-180 minutes. Refer to Section 5.1.4 for delay time settings).

• No and Low battery condition.

• Ground fault to the output wiring.

• Auxiliary Power Supply output over-current condition.

• NAC output open, shorted and over-current condition.

AC Fail Relay

A normally energized relay will be de-energized after no or low AC power without delay. A Form “A” contact provides a local signaling (audible and visual) of an AC fail at the protected premises.

Battery Charging and Supervision

The PAD-3 provides a battery charging circuit for charging sealed lead-acid batteries. The unit also supervises for no and low battery conditions.

Ground Fault Detection

The PAD-3 monitors for ground faults to the output wiring. When detected, the unit lights the yellow GRND LED (DS6) and de-energizes the trouble relay and the input supervision relays.

Environmental

All hardware is suitable for use in an interior or protected location.

Power Limiting

The AC power and battery wiring are not power limited. All other circuits leaving the control unit are power limited, provided the proper installation rules are maintained.

Transient Protection

Transient protection devices are provided where needed to meet the requirements of UL864.

1.2 REGULATORY STANDARDS

The PAD-3 meets the requirements of industry and government regulatory agencies as noted.

Federal Communications Commission

The PAD-3 meets the class A requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR 47), Part 15, subpart J, for electromagnetic field emissions.

Underwriters Laboratories

The PAD-3 control unit is listed under UL Standard 864 for compliance to NFPA Standard 72 for fire

service.

2. INSTALLATION

CAUTION:

It is recommended that the printed circuit boards be removed for any procedure that may cause dust, metal shavings, grease or any such matter that may affect the circuit boards and/or parts.

There may be several sources of power into the control unit. Each source must be disconnected prior to installing or connecting or disconnecting wiring.

Each output circuit is rated at 3 amps. DO NOT OVERLOAD. Overloading a circuit will cause it to shut down (power limit).

2.1 MOUNTING THE ENCLOSURE

(For indoor use only in dry environments)

The fire alarm control unit must be mounted in a properly accessible location as required by applicable codes. Any auxiliary battery box or other accessory not connected through a protective device or a circuit designed for remote connection must be within the same room and connected through electrical conduit. Installation is to be done only by qualified personnel who have thoroughly read and understood these instructions.

When mounting the enclosure on interior walls, use appropriate screw anchors in plaster. When mounting on concrete, especially when moisture is expected, first attach a piece of ¾-inch plywood to the concrete surface. Attach the PAD-3 enclosure to the plywood.

Consult the installation instructions included with the enclosure for proper mounting.

Page 10

2.2 CONTROL UNIT MOUNTING

To install the main board, install 3 screws loosely into the bottom mounting holes or mounting rails. Slide the bottom of the board behind the screws, aligning the screws with the slots in the board. Install a screw in the center position at the top of the board, and two male standoffs in the top left and top right corners of the main board. Tighten all fasteners. Next, install the insulator to the standoffs using the two remaining screws. All mounting hardware is included with the PAD-3 main board. See Figure 2-1 below for details.

Figure 2-1. Mounting the PAD-3-MB

Before installing the PAD-3, the input must first be wired into the building’s main electrical power through the TB1 terminals. See Figure 2-2 on page 8. Shut off the electrical power to the PAD-3, and then complete the general installation of the PAD-3 using the information in this section.

Page 11

2.3 WIRE ROUTING

Notes:

All high voltage and non-power limited wiring must be kept separate from power limited wiring. A ¼” separation must be maintained, with high voltage and non-power limited wiring running in separate conduit openings from power wiring.

To avoid induced noise (transfer of electrical energy from one wire to another), keep input wiring isolated from high current output and power-limited wiring. Improper wiring installation may cause improper operation. Avoid pulling one multi-conductor cable for the entire system. Instead, separate high current input/output from low current.

Wiring within the cabinet should be routed around the perimeter of the cabinet. It should not cross the printed circuit board where it could induce noise into the sensitive microelectronics or pick up unwanted RF noise from the switching power supply circuit.

2.5.2.1 Multiple Module Battery Connection

For applications where multiple PAD-3 boards are mounted in an enclosure with System 3 rails, it may be possible to connect two boards to a single battery set. When using a single battery set for two boards, the following rules must be followed:

a) Both PAD-3 boards must be located within the same enclosure and mounted adjacent to each other. b) The combined battery A.H. rating required for both boards does not exceed 15 A.H. c) The alarm current must never exceed 6.14A singularly or with 2 PAD-3s combined. d) One of the PAD-3 boards must have its charging circuit disabled. e) The PAD-3 with the active charger is limited to 1.5 amps of auxiliary DC power at terminals 18 and

19.

f) Two (2) battery connection splitters (part number 230-299203) are used on the battery set for proper

connection.

The following steps and diagrams explain how to connect two PAD-3 boards to a single battery set.

1. Install a battery connection splitter (see Figure 2-6) to the positive and negative terminals on the battery set. If the battery set contains two 12-volt batteries to be wired in series, install one splitter on the positive terminal of battery #1 and the other to the negative terminal of the battery #2.

2. Connect the black wires from both PAD-3 boards to the splitter on the negative terminal of battery #2.

3. If the battery set contains two 12-volt batteries, connect the jumper wire from the remaining single positive terminal of battery #2 to the negative terminal on battery #1.

4. Connect the red wires from both PAD-3 boards to the splitter on the positive terminal of battery #1. See Figure 2-7.

The configuration shown in Figure 2-9 shows two, 3-amp devices wired as Style Z (Class A) circuits. When you are using the outputs as Style Z (Class A) circuits, loop the wiring back to the corresponding circuit pair. For Style Z (Class A) wiring, no external EOL is necessary since it is built into the board.

Style Z (Class A) Supervised Input Circuits

The configuration shown in Figure 2-9 shows Style Z (Class A) supervised wiring from a fire alarm control unit to the PAD-3 board. Pay close attention to the polarities when wiring the unit and follow these requirements:

When wiring to terminal 2 and 5 on TB2, you must use two separate wires. Do not loop a single wire or twist two conductor wires together.

Do not use notification appliances on Style Z (Class A) circuits connected for input. The PAD-3 will detect voltage across the input circuits, but is not designed to pass the added current load from notification appliances.

2.5.6 Common Trouble Relay

The PAD-3 board has a Form C trouble relay built into terminals 9-11 of TB2. The trouble relay will deenergize under a trouble condition.

A typical application of the trouble relay is to connect the PAD-3 normally closed (N.C.) contacts in series with an EOL of a spare IDC or NAC or monitor input from a fire alarm control unit. This will cause a trouble on the fire alarm control unit when the PAD-3 opens its trouble contacts.

The common trouble relay will be de-energized after selectable delay (60-180 minutes, refer to Section

5.1.4) if AC is low or lost.

Note: The N.C. contact is the relay contact that is closed when the PAD-3 has power and there are no trouble conditions.

2.6 Ground Fault Detection Enable/Disable

For some applications (when used with RSA-Series annunciators, for instance), the PAD-3 is used to provide power to an auxiliary device which gets a control signal from a fire alarm panel. The ground fault reference for the PAD-3 may be different than the reference used by the fire alarm panel, resulting in a ground fault trouble at the panel even when none exists. To remedy this condition, the PAD-3 can have its ground fault detection circuit disabled. Once disabled, the fire alarm panel’s ground fault detection circuitry will detect any ground fault in the system. See Section 5-2 for correct positioning of this jumper, and see Figure 2-2 for the location of this jumper.

4.2 Door Holder Applications

In a typical door holder application, the door holder power must be released to close all fire doors under the following conditions:

Any active alarm condition.

AC power is no longer present (to conserve backup battery power).

To close the fire doors in these situations, wire a normally closed relay contact from the fire alarm control unit in series with the auxiliary power to the door holders.

The circuit shown in Figure 4-8 will provide up to 3 amps of door holder current. The power in this example is released when AC power is off for 30 seconds or more, or when the relay from the fire alarm control unit opens. See Section 1.1 for a description of the auxiliary power options, and Section 5.1.2 for information on choosing the options.

5. PROGRAMMING

The PAD-3 functions are programmed with a 10-position DIP switch and six 3-position jumpers. The following section describes each setting.

5.1 DIP SWITCH SETTINGS

The 10-position DIP switch allows you to select the following:

• How long will the unit wait before indicating a loss of AC

• Which input (Input 1 or Input 2) will control the NAC outputs

• Which outputs to wire as Style Z (Class A) and Style Y (Class B)

• Auxiliary power output operation on AC power fault

• Which outputs to operate as steady outputs or ANSI temporal

Refer to Figure 2-2 for the location of the DIP switch on the circuit board assembly.

All DIP switches are factory set for off; verify proper settings for proper system operation. Slide the switches to the left for OFF and to the right for ON.

Note: The unit checks DIP switch settings only when reset. If you change these switch settings, you must push SW2 reset switch to recognize the new DIP switch settings.
