3 Introduction to the TPS Overview The features of the TrueAlert Power Supply are: Three Signaling Line Circuits. The TPS provides uninterruptible power and control to three separate channels of TrueAlert addressable notification appliances. Each channel is referred to as a Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) and is power limited, power limited is defined in NFPA 70 (National Electric Code). The SLCs can be either Class B (Style 4) or Class A (Style 6). Class A requires the installation of a Class A adapter board. All SLCs are monitored for short and open circuits. 24VDC AUX Power. Provides up to 2 A of 24 VDC auxiliary power for use by the option cards. Internal Battery Charger. Charges up to 50 Ah (ULC-S527) or 110 Ah (UL-864 Listing) batteries connected to the power supply. The charger circuitry provides status monitoring of battery connection, input power, and Earth faults. SLC 1 SLC 2 SLC 3 Trouble Scroll Push Button LEDs 1, 2, and 3.

4 Introduction to the TPS, Continued Additional Features Full TrueAlert Operation. TrueAlert addressable notification appliances are individually addressed and receive power, supervision, and control signals over the SLC. Horns sound with selectable high or low output, using a temporal, march time (60 or 120 beats per minute), or continuous pattern. Horns are controlled separately from visible appliances installed on the same two-wire circuit. (Combination speaker/strobe TrueAlert appliances receive audible control from separate audio circuit wiring.) Extensive Diagnostic Capabilities. LEDs on the TPS flash codes that identify the nature of trouble conditions. The TPS also monitors for short and open circuits and positive and negative Earth fault status. Depleted Battery Cutout (Canadian Version Only). When AC Power fails, the Depleted Battery Cutout feature disconnects a battery from the panel when its voltage is approximately 18 VDC. Visual Synchronization. A maximum of 46 MultiCandela addressable visuals may be synchronized per SLC. All SLCs are synchronized across a TPS. All TPSs are synchronized across the FACP.

9 Power Distribution Module/Battery Connections Overview The TPS gets its power from the Power Distribution Module (PDM). The PDM takes power directly from a dedicated AC line and the two backup batteries, and distributes power to each bay in the cabinet. Power Distribution Module Connections The Power Distribution Module (PDM) connects to every power supply in each back box. Connect the Harness from the top connector on the PDM to the TPS. 1. Wire 120 VAC to the PDM, keeping AC wires at least one inch away from all other wires. AC power must be kept to the right side of the cabinet, in the non-power-limited area. 2. Connect batteries to P5 on the PDM using Harness Connect the PDM to the TPS using Harness Connect the separate Red and Black wires (with Yellow female terminations) to Plugs P5 (Black) and P4 (Red) on the TPS. Connect the White and Black wires, which terminate together in a White snap-on connector, to the bulkhead connector at the bottom of the TPS assembly, as shown below. 220/230/240V PART NUMBERS APPEAR IN ITALICS.

12 General Wiring Guidelines General Wiring Guidelines Use only copper conductors for all wiring applications. All equipment must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer s recommendations and the specifications and standards of the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). The installation of all wiring, cable, and equipment must be in accordance with NFPA 70 and the National Electrical Code (NEC), specifically Article 760 (Fire Alarm Systems), Article 800 (Communications Circuits). If applicable, the installation must be in accordance with the Canadian Building Code, and any provincial and/or local requirements. Each TrueAlert channel is limited to 0.60uF maximum capacitance. This includes conductor to conductor and conductor to shield capacitance (if shield wire is used). TPS wiring must use ferrite beads in order to comply with the RF Immunity test specified in UL864 If shielded wire is used, the following must be observed. Metallic continuity of the shield must be maintained and insulated throughout the entire length of the cable. The entire length of the cable must have a resistance greater than 1 Mega ohm to Earth. Underground wiring must be free of all water. Wiring other than that connected to elevator cabs must not be run in elevator shafts (reference NFPA 70, Article 620). Wiring in ducts, plenums, and other air handling spaces must be installed in accordance with NFPA 70, Article 300. Splicing is permitted in accordance with NFPA 70. All junctions must be insulated as soundly as the original jacket. Continuity of shields (where used) must be maintained. A system ground must be provided for Earth detection and lightning protection devices. This connection shall be made to an approved, dedicated Earth connection, per NFPA 70, Article 250. Only system wiring can be run in the same conduit. Field wiring circuits shall not leave the building of origin unless all of the following conditions are met. Circuits are protected from lightning by utilization of either the Model or the Model listed isolated loop circuit protectors. One isolated loop circuit protector is inserted into the circuit where the wiring leaves the building. A second isolated loop circuit protector is inserted into the circuit where the wiring enters the next building. Underground wiring circuits are run in a parallel wiring trough separate from any commercial power distribution wiring. Overhead circuit wiring is run in parallel with relation to the commercial power distribution wiring. Overhead circuit wiring is separated from the commercial power distribution wiring by a minimum distance equal to the maximum span between two adjacent poles of either the system s circuit or the commercial power distribution circuit, or 100 feet (30 m), whichever is greater. Outside plant wiring is limited to one contiguous property and the total wire length may not exceed 3,270 feet (997 m). Continued on next page 12

13 General Wiring Guidelines, Continued Power-Limited/Non- Power Limited Wiring Guidelines Adhere to these guidelines when wiring power limited and non-power limited wiring within the FACP. Non-power limited field wiring (AC power, batteries) must be installed and routed in the shaded areas shown in the figure below. Power-limited field wiring must be installed and routed in the non-shaded areas shown in the figure below. Excess slack should be kept to a minimum inside the back box enclosure. The wiring should be neatly dressed and bundled together using the wire ties provided with the equipment. Anchor power-limited wiring to tie points, as shown in the figure below. Tie the wiring located between bays to the internal wiring troughs, if applicable. When powering remote units or switching power through relay contacts, power for these circuits must be provided by a power-limited power supply that is UL listed for fireprotective signaling use. A UL listed EOL relay must be used to supervise the auxiliary power circuit. IMANT: If the TPS is powered up with zero devices connected, the TPS indicates channel failure for those channels that are programmed to support devices. The TPS does not sense devices as they are connected when the TPS has been powered up with zero devices connected. After at least one valid device is connected, the unit must be reset by toggling the DIP Switch SW1-1 OFF and then ON. The TPS then communicates with devices as they are added.

SLC wiring may be split multiple times to form SLC wiring branches. Maximum wire distance of each of these SLC branches from the panel to any device is the smaller of the values obtained from Table 7 and Table 8. Add the alarm loads of all of the devices on an SLC branch and apply to Table 7. Add the unit loads (see Table 4) of all the devices on an SLC branch and apply it to Table 8. Use of Table 7 and Table 8 requires all SLC wire branches join within 10 feet (3 m) of the panel. T-tap wire stubs are allowed on the SLC wire branches, but each tap must be less than 100 feet (30 m).

21 Wiring Class B Circuits, Continued Class B Wiring Diagram (With Isolators) For Class B wiring with isolators, T-Tapping is allowed. SLC wiring may be split multiple times to form SLC wire branches. Maximum wire distance of each of these SLC branches from panel to any device is the smaller of the values obtained from Table 8 and the Equation 1 shown below. Add the alarm loads of all the devices on an SLC wire branch and apply to Equation 1. Add the unit loads (see Table 4 for unit loads) for all devices on an SLC wire branch and the number of isolators and apply to Table 8. Use of Table 8 requires that all SLC wire branches join within 10 feet (3 m) of the panel. T-tap wire stubs are allowed on the SLC wire branches, but each tap must be less than 100 feet (30 m).

22 Wiring AUX Power Wiring Diagram to Connect AUX Power to Power Limited Wiring Supervision must be provided if the auxiliary power circuit is to be wired as a power-limited circuit. In order to connect a circuit using power-limited wiring, the devices being powered must all be addressable, or a UL Listed EOL relay must be used to supervise the circuit. Refer to the figure below for wiring directions for the EOL relay. TO AUX POWER Note: The Relay is used as an example. Other UL Listed 24 VDC EOL relays can be used, depending on the application.

23 Troubleshooting System Trouble Indicators (LEDs A through E) The system trouble indicators consist of a bank of five yellow LEDS (refer back to Figure 1 for their location on the TPS). These LEDs are used to signal various trouble conditions on the TPS and its SLCs. Only one trouble at a time is shown. You can step through all of the troubles present on the TPS or its SLCs using the Trouble Scroll Pushbutton. This pushbutton is shown in Figure 1 and is located just to the right of LEDs A through E. Notes: Any trouble indication that applies to a specific SLC channel has the corresponding LED (CH1 through CH3) for that channel lit. The Trouble Scroll Pushbutton allows an operator to scroll through multiple troubles. = On LED = Off LED SYSTEM CODES A B C D E AC Fail Low/Missing Battery Running on Depleted Battery Memory Checksum Error RUI Comm Fail Hardware Configuration Mismatch Channel Controller Trouble Negative Earth Positive Earth Hardware Configuration Error Memory Test Error Charger Trouble Field Power Overcurrent Battery Cutout SLC CHANNEL CODES Channel Fail Short Circuit Duplicate Device Missing Device Extra Device Class A Trouble Earth Trouble Isolator Trouble Bad Download Address Out of Range SLC Overcurrent 23
