Section 1 Introduction

The 5495 is a notification appliance circuit and auxiliary power expander that provides up to 6 amps of filtered, 24 volt power for powering notification appliances and auxiliary devices. The 5495 provides its own AC power connection, battery charging circuit, and battery connections. Used with security and fire alarm control panels, the 5495 enables you to connect and distribute power to many more devices than your panel may normally allow.
Input Configurations The 5495 has two optically isolated signaling inputs that provide the signal
connection from the main control panel to the 5495 (see Section 3.2 for more details).
Output Configurations The 5495 has four power-limited notification appliance circuits that can be
configured in various combinations of Class A and Class B circuits (see Section
3.3 for details).
Auxiliary Power Configurations The 5495 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 during the AC power failure 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 fails (see Section 4.8.4 for details).
Form C Trouble Relay The 5495 includes a general trouble relay that will de-energize for any trouble
situation. (see Section 4.4.1 for details).
Earth Fault Detection The 5495 monitors for earth faults to the system power or system ground. When
detected, the system de-energizes the trouble relay and the input supervision relays (see Section 5.2 for details).
ANSI Temporal Code The 5495 provides two configuration options that will drive outputs with the ANSI
temporal code if the inputs are on constantly (see Section 4.8.1 for details).
Supports Synchronized appliances The 5495 provides configuration options that will eliminate the need for
synchronized modules when using AMSECO, Faraday, Gentex, System Sensor, or Wheelock synchronization appliances.

3.2 Signal Input Terminals

Terminals 14 through 19 are polarized signal input terminals. They provide the signaling connection from the main panel to the 5495. See Figure 4-2 for more details.
The main panel supervises its notification appliance circuits used for communicating with the 5495 the same way it supervises ordinary notification appliance circuits. The signal inputs on the 5495 monitor the polarity of the voltage coming from the main panel’s notification appliance circuits to determine when to operate the notification appliance circuits on the 5495. The 5495 emulates the trouble behavior of a normal notification appliance circuit by interrupting the EOL supervision current for internal or output trouble conditions on the 5495.
Note that the 5495 will accurately sense the polarity of the main panel’s notification appliance circuits to drive the outputs whether or not the supervision connection is intact. The following situations will disconnect the EOL supervision at the signal inputs and indicate a trouble condition:
Low AC power
Low Battery condition
Earth ground fault to the system power or system ground
Auxiliary output power-limited condition
EOL supervision trouble or power-limited condition at an output Trouble conditions will not necessarily occur for both inputs when the trouble is
specific to a particular output. Only the signal input controlling the output circuit that is in trouble will indicate a trouble condition. Below are examples where both inputs do NOT indicate trouble for a trouble occurring at only one output circuit.
Example 1: 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.
Example 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.
Note:Once the inputs are driven with forward polarity to activate the outputs, the main control panel will
not be able to sense trouble conditions through its notification appliance circuit connected to the 5495 input circuits. Use the 5495 trouble relay when it is necessary to monitor trouble conditions and active alarm conditions at the same time.
Section 6 explains the significance of each trouble condition in more detail.

System Overview

3.3 Notification Appliance Circuit Terminals

Terminals 3 through 10 are the notification appliance circuit output terminals. Each of the four circuits are rated at 3 amps, although you can only draw a total of 6 amps from the 5495. The 5495 outputs are short-circuit protected (power limited) according to UL 864 standards. Overcurrent indicators are yellow LEDs. The output voltage can vary depending on the load and input voltage.
The four power-limited NAC outputs can be configured as follows:
Four Class B circuits Faraday synchronized outputs
Two Class A circuits Gentex synchronized outputs
One Class A and two Class B circuits System Sensor synchronized outputs
Class B, ANSI temporal-coded circuits Wheelock synchronization outputs
• AMSECO synchronized outputs One or both 5495 signal inputs control the NAC outputs, depending on the specific
configuration setup. Possible configurations for the 5495 are:

Installation

Section 4 Installation

Before installing the 5495, the AC input must first be wired into the building’s main electrical power through the TB1 terminals (see Figure 4-2). Shut off the electrical power to the 5495, and then complete the general installation of the 5495 using the information in this section.

4.1 Mounting

Mount the 5495 in locations that meet the following temperature and humidity requirements. Do not expose the panel to conditions outside these ranges. For use in indoor, dry environments.
Temperature Humidity
When mounting on interior walls, use appropriate screw anchors in plaster. When mounting on concrete, especially when moisture is expected, first attach a piece of 3/ 4-inch plywood to the concrete surface. Attach the 5495 to the plywood.

4.1.1 Preventing Water Damage

Water damage to the fire system can be caused by moisture entering the cabinet through the conduits. Conduits that are installed to enter the top of the cabinet are most likely to cause water problems. Installers should take reasonable precautions to prevent water from entering the cabinet. Water damage is not covered under warranty.
151161 7
Model 5495 Distributed Power Module Installation Manual
Note: The use of this knock out will reduce the number and/or size of batteries this cabinet can contain. Evaluation of space is important before using.

4.2 Wire Routing

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. Induced noise can interfere with telephone communication or even cause false alarms. Avoid pulling a single multiconductor cable for the entire system. Instead, separate high current input/output from low current. Separate power-limited from non-power-limited wiring. Non-power-limited wiring must be enclosed in conduit.
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.

4.3 Current Requirements (Standby and Alarm)

4.3.1 Current Drawn From Host Panel

Table 4-1 shows the 5495 current draw requirements from the main control panel when the panel’s notification appliance circuit is in alarm. The current draw from the main panel when it is supervising the 5495 is the same current draw that would be present when the main panel supervises an ordinary notification appliance circuit.
Table 4-1: Alarm Current Drawn From Main Control Panel
Panel Voltage Current
Alarm Current (for typical voltages) drawn from main panel’s notification

circuits.

4.3.2 Current Drawn from Battery

12 VDC 6.5 mA 24 VDC One input circuit: 15 mA
Both input circuits: 30 mA
Batteries used with the 5495 must not exceed 35AH. (33AH max. for FM (Factory Mutual) Installations). Batteries larger than 7 AH will not fit into the 5495 cabinet and must be housed in the RBB Remote Battery Box. See Section 4.7 for battery installation.
The following is the maximum current draw from the auxiliary power terminals for standby calculations. These currents assume 24 or 60 hours of standby time, followed by 5 minutes of maximum alarm current.
195 mA for 24 Hour Standby Current
39 mA for 60 Hours of Auxiliary Standby Current The above numbers were calculated assuming the use of 7 AH batteries at 100% of
rated capacity. The total current of the 5495, plus all items powered from it, must not exceed 6 A
when the panel is in alarm. Use Table 4-2 to ensure that the current does not exceed 6 A and, that the desired amount of standby is possible for the battery intended for use with the 5495.

4.4.1 Common Trouble Relay

The 5495 has a Form C trouble relay built into Terminals 11-13. The relay provides a normally open and a normally closed contact, both of which are rated at 2.5A. The trouble relay will deactivate under any trouble condition.
A typical application of the trouble relay is to connect the 5495 normally closed (N.C.) contacts in series with the EOL supplied with the fire alarm control panel. This will cause a trouble on the fire alarm control panel when the 5495 opens its trouble contacts.
Note:The N.C. contact is the contact that is closed when the 5495 has po wer and the re are no trou ble
conditions.

Installation

4.5 Notification Appliance Wiring

Note:Not all devices can use the sync feature. Be sure to check Appendix A to ensure the device you
have chosen will work with this feature.
Important!
For all synchronization options, input 1 is the strobe input and input 2 is the audible input. The signals to input 1 and input 2 must be DC signals for the synchronization patterns to work properly. When it is desired to activate both strobes and audibles, input 1 and input 2 must be active. If it is desired to only activate strobes, then input 1 must be active and input 2 must be inactive. The audible can be deactivated and reactivated at any time by changing the signal at input 2 as long as input 1 remains active. If input 1 is not active, then input 2 is ignored.

4.5.1 Class A Supervised Wiring

Figure 4-4 shows how to wire for Class A input and output supervision. Use in/out wiring methods for proper supervision. (Refer to Appendix A for notification appliances compatible with the 5495.)
Class A Output Notification Circuits
The configuration shown in Figure 4-4 shows two, 3 A devices wired as Class A. When using the outputs as Class A circuits, loop the wiring back to the corresponding circuit pair. For Class A wiring, no external EOL is necessary since it is built into the 5495 board.
Class A Supervised Input Circuits
The configuration shown in Figure 4-4 shows Class A supervised wiring from a fire alarm control panel to the 5495 board. Pay close attention to the polarities when wiring a panel to the 5495 and follow these requirements:
When wiring to Terminal 18 on the 5495, you must use two separate wires. Do not loop a single wire or twist two conductors together.
Do not use notification appliances on Class A circuits connected to a 5495 for input. The 5495 will detect voltage across the input circuits, but is not designed to
151161 13
Model 5495 Distributed Power Module Installation Manual
pass the added current load from notification appliances.
Figure 4-4 Class A Supervised Input/Output Connections

4.5.2 Class B Supervised Wiring

Figure 4-5 shows how to wire for Class B input and output supervision. Use in/out wiring methods for proper supervision (Refer to the Appendix for notification appliances approved for use with the 5495.)
Class B Output Notification Circuits
Figure 4-5 shows four, 1.5 A devices wired as Class B. Place a 4.7k ohm EOL resistor (provided) at the end of each circuit to enable
supervision when using all outputs as Class B notification appliance circuits. The
4.7k EOLs must be wired to the terminals whether or not you are using all output
terminals.
14 151161
Installation
Class B Supervised Input Circuits
Figure 4-5 shows Class B supervised wiring from a fire alarm control panel to the
5495.
Use an EOL resistor as shown to enable notification appliance circuit input supervision. Some panels use EOLs that have a different value from the 4.7k ohm EOL resistor used by the 5495. In this case, the EOL must be UL listed for the fire alarm control panel (not the 5495).
Figure 4-5 Class B Supervised Input/Output Connections

4.6 Ground Fault Detection Enable/Disable Jumper

In some cases the ground fault detection feature on the 5495 may interfere with the ground fault detection feature of the main control panel in the system. To disable the ground fault detection feature on the 5495, place the jumper block on J1, across Pins 1 and 2 (see Figure 4-2).

4.7 Battery Connection

Use two 12 VDC, 7 AH gel cell batteries inside the 5495 cabinet. For batteries larger than 7 AH (not to exceed 35 AH) use the RBB Remote Battery Box. It is recommended that you replace the batteries every five years. The following steps and diagram explain how to connect the batteries.
1. Connect the black wire to the negative (-) side of Battery #1.
2. Connect the jumper wire provided (PN 140694) from the positive (+) side of Bat­tery #1 to the negative side of Battery #2.
3. Connect the red wire to the positive (+) side of Battery #2.

Figure 4-7 and Figure 4-8 show the position of each switch for the non-synchronized input and output configurations. The position of Switches 4 and 5 does not affect the relationship of inputs to outputs.
Note:The 5495 checks switches 1, 2, 3, and 6 only when powering up the 5495. If you change these
switch settings, you must remove both the AC power and the battery to make the 5495 recognize the new settings.

4.8.2 Selecting Synchronized Output Configurations

The following sections describe how to configure the 5495 as a synchronization power expander for Amseco, Faraday, Gentex, System Sensor, or Wheelock synchronized horn/strobe appliances.
Note: In order for the synchronization feature to operate properly, make sure you have set the DIP
switches for the proper manufacturer. See Sections 4.8.2.1, 4.8.2.2, or 4.8.2.3.
Important!
For all synchronization options, input 1 is the strobe input and input 2 is the audible input. The signals to input 1 and input 2 must be DC signals for the synchronization patterns to work properly. When it is desired to activate both strobes and audibles, input 1 and input 2 must be active. If it is desired to only activate strobes, then input 1 must be active and input 2 must be inactive. The audible can be deactivated and reactivated at any time by changing the signal at input 2 as long as input 1 remains active. If input 1 is not active, then input 2 is ignored.

5.3 Door Holder Application

In a typical door holder application, the door holder power must be interrupted to close all fire doors under the following conditions:
Any active alarm condition.
AC power failure (to conserve battery power).
To close the fire doors in these situations, wire an N.C. programmable relay from the FACP in series with the auxiliary power to the door holders as shown in Figure 5-7.
The circuit shown in Figure 5-7 will provide up to 3 amps of door holder power. (See Section 5.2 if you need more than 3 amps of auxiliary power.) 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 panel becomes open. You would have to use the equivalent of a programmable relay from a fire alarm control panel that is programmed to open under alarm conditions. See Section 4.8.4 for selecting auxiliary power options.

Troubleshooting

Section 6 Troubleshooting

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) indicate fault conditions. This section describes the LED states.

6.1 LEDs

The eight LEDs indicate a fault in one of the circuits (either NACs 1 through 4, auxiliary power, earth fault, low AC, or battery). A fault in the LED's corresponding circuit will light the LED (labeled on the board). Their functions are as follows:
LED Color Description
OUT1 Yellow When ON, output circuit 1 is in trouble or in an overcurrent state. OUT2 Yellow When ON, output circuit 2 is in trouble or in an overcurrent state. OUT3 Yellow When ON, output circuit 3 is in trouble or in an overcurrent state. OUT4 Yellow When ON, output circuit 4 is in trouble or in an overcurrent state.
AUX Yellow When ON, the auxiliary power output is in an overcurrent state.
FLT Yellow When ON, an earth ground fault on the unit exists.
BATT Yellow When ON, a low battery condition exists.
AC Green When OFF , there is no AC power to the unit. Under normal conditions, this LED
is ON to indicate the presence of AC power.
See Figure 4-2 for locations of LEDs.

6.2 Trouble Conditions

Trouble Condition What Happens
Low AC (AC input voltage is low or off
for 6 hours or longer.)
Low Battery (Battery voltage is less than
21.4 VDC.) Earth Ground Fault
(The earth terminal is connected to one of the positive or negative terminals on the output or auxiliary output circuits.)
Power Limit At AUX (Current draw at the auxiliary
power terminals is exceeding
3.0 amps.)
Power-limited OUTPUT (Current draw at an output
terminal is exceeding 3.0 amps.)
EOL supervision trouble (Equivalent resistance of the
EOL resistor is outside the range 2k - 10k.)
Input 1 and Input 2 supervision circuits open after a 6 hour delay. The green AC LED turns off as soon as low AC or loss of AC occurs (does not wait 6
hours). The trouble relay is de-energized after a 6 hour delay. The trouble restores within 1 minute of the AC voltage restoring to a normal level.
Input 1 and Input 2 supervision circuits open. The yellow “BATT” LED lights. The trouble relay is de-energized. The trouble restores when battery voltage is greater than 22.4 VDC.
Input 1 and Input 2 supervision circuits open. The yellow “FLT” LED lights. The trouble relay is de-energized. The trouble restores when the fault between the earth ground and one of the output
circuit terminals is removed.
Power disconnects at the AUX terminal. Input 1 and Input 2 supervision circuits open. The yellow “AUX” LED lights. The trouble relay is de-energized.
The trouble restores when the overcurrent condition no longer exists. When a circuit goes into a power limited state, it will reverse the polarity of the voltage at the terminals and verify the load. If it is more than 1k ohms, the power limit will self-restore.
This does not automatically occur for some devices typically connected to auxiliary power. Power limit conditions do not restore in reverse polarity monitoring if the devices are not polarized (for example, some door holder devices). To allow automatic restores for power-limited auxiliary circuits, it is recommended that all non-polarized devices be polarized using a diode in series with each device.
Power at the OUTPUT is disconnected. Input 1 and Input 2 supervision circuits open. The corresponding yellow LED lights. The trouble relay is de-energized.
The trouble restores when the overcurrent condition no longer exists.
Input 1 and Input 2 supervision circuits open. Corresponding yellow LED lights. The trouble relay is de-energized. Trouble restores if an EOL within (2k-10k) appears at the output terminals.
Note: While Input 1 & 2 are activated, Input 1 & 2 will not open to indicate a trouble or supervisory con-
dition. Once the circuit is deactivated it will open to indicate a trouble or supervisory condition.
