General
The FCPS-24S6E (6-amp) and FCPS-24S8E (8-amp) are
remote power supplies with battery charger. The FCPS-24S6/-
24S8 may be connected to any 12 or 24 volt fire alarm control
panel (FACP) or may be used as stand-alone supplies. Pri-
mary applications include notification appliance (bell) circuit
(NAC) expansion (to support ADA requirements and NAC syn-
chronization) or auxiliary power to support 24 volt system
accessories. The FCPS-24S6/-24S8 provides regulated and
filtered 24 VDC power to four notification appliance circuits
configured as either four Class B (Style Y) or Class A (Style Z,
with ZNAC-4 option module). Alternately, the four outputs may
be configured as all non-resettable, all resettable or two non-
resettable and two resettable. The FCPS-24S6/-24S8 also
contains a battery charger capable of charging up to 18 AH
batteries. FCPS-24S6C & FCPS-24S8C are ULC-listed.
NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, the terms FCPS-24S6 and
FCPS-24S8 used in this document refers to the standard FCPS-
24S6 and FCPS-24S8, FCPS-24S6C and FCPS-24S8C, the
FCPS-24S6E and FCPS-24S8E
Features
• UL-Listed NAC synchronization using System Sensor,
Wheelock, or Gentex “Commander 2 ” appliances.
• Operates as a “sync-follower” or as a “sync-generator”
(default). See note on page 2.
• Contains two fully-isolated input/control circuits - triggered
from FACP NAC (NAC expander mode) or jumped perma-
nently “ON” (stand-alone mode).
• Four Class B (Style Y) or four Class A (Style Z, with
ZNAC-4 module) NACs.
• 6-amp (FCPS-24S6) or 8-amp (FCPS-24S8) full load out-
put, with 3 amps maximum/circuit, in NAC expander mode
(UL 864).
• 4-amp (FCPS-24S6) or 6-amp (FCPS-24S8) continuous
output in stand-alone mode (UL 1481).
• Compatible with coded inputs; signals passed through.
• Optional power-supervision relay (EOLR-1).
• In stand-alone mode, output power circuits may be config-
ured as: resettable, (reset line from FACP required),
non-resettable, or a mix of two and two.
• Fully regulated and filtered power output - optimal for pow-
ering four-wire smoke detectors, annunciators, and other
system peripherals requiring regulated/filtered power.
• Power-limiting technology meets UL power-limiting require-
ments.
• Form-C normally-closed trouble relay.
• Fully supervised power supply, battery, and NACs.
• Selectable earth fault detection.
• AC trouble report selectable for immediate 2-hour delay.
• Works with virtually any UL 864 fire alarm control which uti-
lizes an industry-standard reverse-polarity notification cir-
cuit (including unfiltered and unregulated bell power).
• Requires input trigger voltage of 9 - 32 VDC.
• Self-contained in compact, locking cabinet - 15”H x 14.5”W
x 2.75”D (cm: 38.1H x 36.83W x 6.985D).
• Includes integral battery charger capable of charging up to
18 AH batteries. Cabinet capable of housing 7.0 AH batter-
ies.
• Battery charger may be disabled via DIP switch for applica-
tions requiring larger batteries.
• Fixed, clamp-type terminal blocks accommodate up to 12
AWG (3.1mm 2 ) wire.
