Section 1 Introduction
The 5499 is a notification appliance circuit and auxiliary power expander that
provides up to 9 amps of filtered, 24 volt power for powering notification appliances
and auxiliary devices. The 5499 provides its own AC power connection, battery
charging circuit, and battery connections. Used with security and fire alarm control
panels, the 5499 enables you to connect and distribute power to many more devices
than your panel may normally allow.
• Input Configurations
The 5499 has two optically isolated signaling inputs that provide the signal
connection from the main control panel to the 5499 (see Section 3.2 for more
details).
• Output Configurations
The 5499 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 5499 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 5499 includes a general trouble relay that will de-energize for any trouble
situation. (see Section 4.4.1 for details).
• Earth Fault Detection
The 5499 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 5499 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 5499 provides configuration options that will eliminate the need for
synchronized modules when using AMSECO, Faraday, Gentex, System Sensor,
or Wheelock synchronization appliances.

5499 Distributed Power Module Installation Manual
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 5499. See Figure 4-2 for more
details.
The main panel supervises its notification appliance circuits used for communicating
with the 5499 the same way it supervises ordinary notification appliance circuits. The
signal inputs on the 5499 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 5499. The 5499 emulates the trouble behavior of a normal
notification appliance circuit by interrupting the EOL supervision current for internal or
output trouble conditions on the 5499.
Note that the 5499 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
5499 input circuits. Use the 5499 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 9 amps
from the 5499. The 5499 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 5499 signal inputs control the NAC outputs, depending on the specific
configuration setup. Possible configurations for the 5499 are:

Installation
Section 4 Installation
Before installing the 5499, 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 5499, and then complete the general installation of the 5499 using the
information in this section.
4.1 Mounting
Mount the 5499 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 5499 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.
151253 7
5499 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 5499 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 5499 is the same current draw that would be
present when the main panel supervises an ordinary notification appliance circuit.

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 5499 must not exceed 35AH. (33AH max. for FM (Factory
Mutual) Installations). Batteries larger than 7 AH will not fit into the 5499 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 5499, plus all items powered from it, must not exceed 9 A
when the panel is in alarm. Use Table 4-2 to ensure that the current does not exceed
9 A and, that the desired amount of standby is possible for the battery intended for
use with the 5499.

4.4.1 Common Trouble Relay
The 5499 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 5499 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 5499 opens its trouble
contacts.
Note:The N.C. contact is the contact that is closed when the 5499 has po wer and the re are no trou ble
conditions.

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 5499.)
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
5499 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 5499 board. Pay close attention to the polarities when
wiring a panel to the 5499 and follow these requirements:
• When wiring to Terminal 18 on the 5499, 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 5499 for
input. The 5499 will detect voltage across the input circuits, but is not designed to
