FCPS-2404
24 Volt, 4 Amp NAC Power Expander
www.firelite.com
Section: Power Supplies/Accessories
GENERAL
The Fire•Lite FCPS-2404 is a compact, cost-effective, NAC
power expander. Its filtered 24 VDC output can provide up
to 4.0 amps of current to drive one Style Y (Class B) NAC
(Notification Appliance Circuit). The FACP's (Fire Alarm
Control Panel) NAC is connected to the power expander's
input circuit. When the control input circuit activates due to
reverse polarity of the FACP's NAC, the power expander
will activate its NAC circuit. The FCPS-2404 is compatible
with 12 VDC and 24 VDC control panels.
