1.0INTRODUCTION AND SPECIFICATIONS:

1.1INTRODUCTION

The PS-12/24-8MP POWERPATH is an 8 Amp, 12/24VDC, filtered and regulated, supervised remote power supply/charger used for supervision and expanded power driving capability for Fire Alarm Notification Appliance Circuits. The PS-12/24-8MP may be connected to any 12VDC or 24VDC Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) by using a Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) or a “Dry Contact”. Primary applications include NAC expansion (supports ADA requirements) and auxiliary power to support system accessories. This unit provides filtered and regulated 12VDC or 24VDC, 8 Amp up to four (4) Class "B", two (2) Class “A”, or two (2) Class “B” and one (1) Class “A” Notification Appliance Circuits. Additionally, an auxiliary power output of 3.5 Amps is provided, which can be reset. The PS-12/24-8MP also contains a battery charger capable of charging either 7 or 12 Amp/Hour (AH) of battery backup.

Two FACP NAC circuits or two “Dry” contact closures can be connected to the POWERPATH inputs. These inputs can then be directed to control supervision and power delivery to any combination of the four (4) outputs.

Each output is rated at 3.0 Amps (Class "B") or 3.0 Amps (Class "A") and can be programmed to generate a steady or Code 3 Temporal Horn sound and a strobe output under alarm condition. Total load for the PS-12/24-8MP NAC circuits shall not exceed 8.0 Amps.

The PS-12/24-8MP under non-alarmed condition provides independent loop supervision for Class “A” and Class “B” FACP NAC circuits. In the event of a loop trouble, the FACP will be notified via the POWERPATH steered input (IN1 or IN2). In addition there are common trouble output terminals (used to indicate a loop trouble) and common trouble input terminals (used generically by any initiating circuit).

Wheelock horns/strobes, strobes and horns with synchronizing capability can be utilized with the PS-12/24- 8MP. Audibles can be silenced with only two wires. Additionally, the POWERPATH can provide a temporal coded signal for appliances that can utilize it.

1.4 TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION

		Table 1: Terminal Identification
	Terminal Block	Terminal	Function/Description
	Identification
	Numbers (Figure 1)	Identification
	TB4-1, 2	IN1+,IN1-	These terminals connect to the input voltage source (i.e. 12VDC or
			24VDC FACP). The FACP will supply a voltage from 8-33VDC at 5mA.
			During the alarm condition these inputs will cause the designated outputs
			to drive the notification appliances (designated outputs are set by output
			DIP switch banks). During Stand-by on a FACP, a trouble condition on
			the designated loop will cause these inputs to trip the FACP by opening
			the FACP loop. Alarm condition always overrides trouble to drive output
			indicating appliances.
	TB4-3, 4,	RET1+, RET1-	EOLR is connected on these terminals corresponding to IN1+ and IN1-,
			or the loop may be continued to other power supplies or appliances
			before terminating.
	TB5-1, 2	IN2+, IN2-	Same as IN1+, IN1for corresponding terminals.
	TB5-5, 4	RET2+, RET2-	Same as RET1+, RET1for corresponding terminals.
	TB4-5, 6	C “DRY1” NC	Dry contacts are used to actuate the designated outputs. Contacts are
			normally closed and actuate the power supply on contact Open.
			Designated outputs correspond to IN1+,IN1-. NOTE: FACP NAC circuit
			cannot energize the power supply by these contacts. NOTE: When these
			terminals are not in use, a jumper must be connected across them.
	TB5-5, 6	C “DRY2” NC	Operates the same as IN2+,IN2for corresponding terminals. When
			these terminals are not in use, a jumper must be connected across them.
			Indicating appliances are connected to these outputs (See Examples in
			Operation Section). Each output can supply a maximum load of 3.0
	TB6-1, 2	+OUT1-	Amps, Class "B" or 3.0 Amps Class "A" and can be individually
			programmed for Normal Mode, Temporal Mode, IN>OUT SYNC Mode, or
	TB6-3, 4	+OUT2-
			WHEELOCK SYNC Mode. The outputs can be configured as four Class
	TB6-5, 6	+OUT3-
			"B" circuits, two Class "A" circuits, or two Class "B" and one Class "A"
	TB6-7, 8	+OUT4-
			circuits. Outputs are controlled by a designated input (INPUT 1 or 2) as
			selected by the DIP switch for that output. NOTE: When the panel has
			been set to synchronization mode, IN1 is used for strobe activation and
			IN2 is used for audible silence. Individual output control is disabled.
	TB7-1-3	“NO” “C” “NC”	Typically used to trigger remote alerts or other reporting appliances.
		(COMMON	Form C contacts rated 28VDC at 1 Amp.
		TROUBLE
		OUTPUT)
	TB7-4, 5	+ AUX -	This output is capable of 3.5 Amps which can be used for door holders
			and can be reset by a momentary switch on the board. The 3.5 Amps of
			power is disconnected when AC power is lost or the unit is in alarm. The
			3.5 Amps of power is reconnected 30 seconds after AC power returns or
			the alarm condition is over.

1.5LED STATUS

Table 2 lists status of the LED indicators. The ALARM condition occurs when the input causes the output circuits to energize. TROUBLE condition occurs when the circuit is no longer supervised correctly. The TROUBLE LED’s for OUT1, OUT2, OUT3, OUT4 and, GND FAULT latch ON when the trouble occurs. They are turned OFF when an alarm condition occurs or the PS12/24-8MP system rest (SW8) is pressed. The trouble relay follows any trouble condition and is not latching.

NOTE: An alarm condition overrides a trouble condition.

1.6BATTERY MAINTENANCE

Battery Replacement: Power-Sonic (or equal) 12VDC, replace with new batteries every four (4) years or as needed if battery will no longer accept full charge. Two 12V batteries are required for 24VDC setting. Use either a 7AH battery or a 12AH battery in accordance with the proper battery calculation for the application using BATTERY CALCULATION SHEET provided on Sheet 23.

NOTE: Battery compartment measures 4-1/2" High X 11-1/2" Wide X 4-1/2" Deep.

2.0INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

NOTE: The PS-12/24-8MP POWERPATH shall be installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable state and local regulations.

2.1UNPACKING

The POWERPATH was carefully checked before leaving the factory. Inspect shipping container and unit carefully for indications of improper handling. If damage is detected, make an immediate claim to the carrier.

Remove the POWERPATH from the shipping container and check that the door lock keys, door lock, and battery connection wires are inside. Make sure the printed circuit board is securely mounted to the rear of the enclosure.

2.2MOUNTING

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION: This product is not intended for use in hazardous locations as defined by the National Electrical Code (NEC) and by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

Mount the POWERPATH in the desired location using the mounting dimensions in Figure 2.

Mount the panel in a location that does not exceed a temperature range of 0° C to 49° C (32° F to 120° F) and a humidity equal to 10% to 85% at 30° C (86° F) non-condensing.

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