Overview:
The Altronix AL602ULADA is an extremely cost effective 6.5 amp remote power supply/battery charger. It may be
connected to any 24 volt Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). Primary applications include Notification Appliance Circuit
(NAC such as strobes and horns) expansion support to meet ADA requirements. It also provides auxiliary power to support
system accessories. The unit delivers electronically regulated and filtered 24 volt power to Class B, Style W, X, Y or Class
A, Style Z NAC loop circuits. Additionally, a separate 1.0A auxiliary output for four (4)-wire smoke detectors is available.
The 6.5 amp max. alarm current can be divided between the four (4) outputs for powering NAC devices. Each output is
rated at 2.5 amp max., and can be independently programmed for Steady, Temporal Code 3 or Strobe Synchronization.
All outputs may be programmed for Input to Output Follower Mode (output will follow input). An individual output of 4
amp is achieved by paralleling 2 outputs. In non-alarm condition independent loop supervision for Class A, Style Z and/
or Class B, Style W, X, Y FACP NAC circuits is provided. In the event of a loop trouble, the FACP will be notified via
the steered input (input 1 or input 2). In addition, there are common trouble output terminals (NC, C, NO) which are used
to indicate general loop/system trouble. A common trouble input is provided for optional NC (normally closed) devices
to report trouble to the FACP. Two (2) FACP signaling outputs can be employed and directed to control supervision and
power delivery to any combination of the four (4) outputs.
