FireSwitch Applications:
1. General Information:
Altronix FireSwitch units are very versatile devices. They can be used with or without specific synchronization
modules provided by some manufacturers. Multiple units can be synchronized by using either the built-in sync mode or
a external synchronization module. Please note, that only notification appliances with synchronization capabilities can be
synchronized. Contact signal manufacturer for more detailed information. Units can operate with either one (1) or two
(2) outputs from the FACP.
2. Class A and Class B Hookups:
Units can be used with the outputs configured for:
• Four (4) Class A (Fig. 6 ).
• Up to eight (8) Class B.
• Combination of Class A and Class B outputs (Fig. 7).
