Features
FireForce 6
• Provides two fully-supervised input/
control circuits (9 – 32 VDC).
• Multiple sync protocols, compatible with
the following appliances: Cooper-
Wheelock, Faraday, System Sensor, and
Gentex — as field-selectable options.
NAC Expander/Power Supply
• Four configurable supervised NAC
outputs.
Description
• 6.0 Amp, 24 VDC, fully regulated full-load
output (power-limited).
The FireForce 6 (FF6) from
Gamewell is a Notification Appli-
ance Circuit (NAC) extender panel
designed to extend the power
capabilities of existing NACs and
provide power (3.0 A maximum) for
other ancillary devices. The FF6 will
connect to any brand of UL-Listed
Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) to
provide Notification Appliance
Circuit expansion.
• Output fault notification to FACP.
• Continuous auxiliary power output.
• Trouble and status LEDs.
• Common trouble Form-C relay.
• Isolated AC Fail Form-C relay, immediate
or delayed six hours.
• Ground fault detection.
Designed with advanced switch-
mode power-supply technology, the
FireForce 6 provides filtered and
• 33 AH battery charger capability.
• Selectable temporal coding.
• Facilitates multiple NAC synchronization
for large areas.
electronically-regulated power
distributed to four NACs. Each NAC is rated at 3.0 Amp maximum, with a
total output capacity of 6.0 Amp. The outputs may be configured as: four
Class B (Style W, X, Y); or two Class A (Style Z); or two Class B and one
Class A. The FF6 includes an internal battery charger.

Gamewell’s FF6 provides independent output circuit supervision. In the
event of a NAC fault, the FF6 can be configured to notify the FACP. The
FF6 has field-selectable, built-in strobe and horn sync protocols. Protocols
support Faraday, Gentex, System Sensor, and Cooper-Wheelock devices; or
pass through a pre-generated sync protocol from a single synchronization
source. This eliminates the need for additional individual sync modules.
Independent horn silencing via sync protocol allows synchronized horns and
strobes to operate on a single circuit.
