Warranty Information
36-month warranty on products manufactured in Northford, CT, free from defects in material and workmanship.
The FCPS-24S6 is a 6 amp power supply and the FCPS-24S8 is an 8 amp power supply. Each FCPS-24S power supply is a compact, cost-effective, remote power supply and battery charger which provides ADA compatible strobe synchronization. Each remote power supply consists of a filtered 24 VDC output that can be configured to drive four Style Y (Class B) NACs (Notification Appliance Circuits). The four circuits can be configured for Style Z (Class A) with the optional ZNAC-4 Class A converter module. Alternatively, the four output circuits may be configured as 24 VDC resettable or nonresettable power outputs. The input circuits, which control the power supply operation, are triggered by the reverse polarity of an NAC or by a 12 VDC or 24 VDC power source. The power supplies are compatible with 12 VDC and 24 VDC control panels.
The FCPS-24S6E and FCPS-24S8E offer the same features as the FCPS-24S6 and FCPS-24S8 respectively but allow connection to 220/240 VAC. Unless otherwise specified, the information in this manual applies to both the 110/120 VAC versions and the 220/240 VAC versions of the power supplies.
The FCPS-24S6C and FCPS-24S8C are the Canadian versions which offer the same features as the FCPS-24S6 and FCPS-24S8 respectively. Unless otherwise specified, the information in this manual also applies to the Canadian versions of the power supplies.
