SNAC-9
Supplementary Notification
Appliance Circuit Panel
Description
The SNAC-9 Supplementary Notification Appliance Circuit
panel provides two (2) Class A, Style Z, or four (4) Class
B, Style Y notification appliance circuits. Each circuit is
rated at 3 amperes, with a total capacity of 9 amperes per
panel. These circuits may be programmed to activate by
groups or various combinations by connection to one or
two existing Class A or B notification appliance circuits
with operating voltages ranging from 9 to 30 VDC. Either
non-coded or coded operation is possible. In addition, the
SNAC-9 can provide a temporal pattern output from a
non-coded input.

Features
• UL Listed as a fire alarm accessory for use with any FCI
A unique feature allows for programmable synchronized
outputs for strobes by three (3) different major manufac-
turers, System Sensor, Faraday, or Gentex.
or other UL Listed fire alarm controls.
• Two (2) Class A (Style Z), or four (4) Class B (Style Y)
notification appliance circuits.
• Programmable Temporal Pattern Output Including ANSI
The SNAC-9 contains its own battery charger capable of
maintaining batteries of up to 33 AH. The cabinet provides
space for a set of 7 A/H batteries. It is supervised for
ground fault, over-current, open circuits and low battery
conditions. These conditions light the appropriate trouble
LED and automatically open the notification appliance
circuit used for activation, transmitting a trouble signal to
the main fire alarm control panel. The ground fault detec-
tion circuit may be disabled.
S3.41.
• High current 9 amp. total output.
• Integral strobe synchronization feature for strobes by
three (3) manufacturers.
• Integral ground fault detection.
• Form “C” trouble contacts with delayed AC failure
indication.
The unit contains a set of dry, Form “C” trouble actuated
auxiliary contacts, rated 2.5 amp. @ 24 VDC (resistive).
Transfer of these contacts for AC power failure is pro-
grammable and can be delayed for a period of six (6)
hours. This delay feature may be disabled.

A power limited, non-resettable auxiliary power output up
to three (3) amperes is also available. The panel can be
programmed via DIP switch to disconnect this output from
the batteries 30 seconds after AC power failure, in order
to avoid running down the batteries from current devices
such as door holders, etc.
