Connecting the Altronix AL1002ADA220 NAC Power Extender to your Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) involves several key steps. Here's a simplified guide, always consult the full Altronix installation manual for detailed instructions and safety precautions:
-
Mounting the Unit: Securely mount the Altronix enclosure to a wall. Use the keyholes to mark and predrill the upper holes, install the screws, and then hang the enclosure. Mark and drill the lower holes, install fasteners, and ensure the enclosure is properly earthed.
-
Wiring Connections: Connect the line (L) and neutral (N) terminals to a dedicated, unswitched AC circuit for your fire alarm system. Before connecting any devices, measure the output voltage to prevent potential damage. Connect two 12VDC batteries in series to the terminals marked [– BAT +] on the Power Supply Board.
-
Output Programming: Configure the output selection switches (OUT1 through OUT4) to match the corresponding inputs (IN1 & IN2) and desired output signal type. Refer to the Output Programming Selection Table in the Altronix manual for specifics.
-
Connecting to the FACP: Connect the FACP output to the appropriate inputs on the AL800LGK9E logic board. Then, connect your notification appliances to the corresponding outputs on the logic board. Always reference the Application Guide for proper connections.
-
Testing and Maintenance: Regularly test the unit annually to ensure correct operation. This includes verifying the output voltage, checking the battery status, and inspecting the fuses. Replace any blown fuses, and replace batteries as needed. Following these steps and consulting the detailed Altronix AL1002ADA220 NAC Power Extender installation guide ensures proper integration with your FACP for reliable fire system operation.
