Installation Guide for FPP-RNAC-8A-4C

Overview

The FPP-RNAC-8A-4C is a Remote Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) Power Supply that adds four NACs to a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). It is supervised by the control panel and includes a controller board, backup batteries, and enclosure. It supports reverse polarity supervised NAC outputs and 12 or 24 VDC regulated outputs, configurable as NACs or auxiliary power supplies.

Output Bell Operation

Generates three pulsed bell patterns (60 PPM, NFPA Temporal, California March) or steady activation. Supports Wheelock, Gentex, and System Sensor SYNC protocols.

Installation

Board installation involves connecting the ground wire and mounting the board to the enclosure using support posts and screws. Enclosure installation involves marking mounting holes, pre-starting screws, sliding the enclosure onto screws, and tightening them. Wire entrances are knocked out as needed.

Wiring

Wire gauge calculations are provided. AC power connects to L, G, and N terminals. Battery connections require two 24 VDC batteries in series. Option bus, NAC inputs, trouble relay, and auxiliary outputs have specific connection requirements detailed with diagrams.

DIP Switch and Option Bus Settings

DIP switches control output patterns, NAC/power supply mode, NAC input variable, AC failure time delay, and option bus address. Settings tables provide detailed configurations.

Local Status Display

LED indicators provide status for AC OK, input active, system fault, ground fault, and NAC troubles. A TROUBLE RESET button clears latched trouble conditions.
