Engineer’s Specifications

The Fire Alarm System shall be designed with remotely

located Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) Expander/

Power Supplies for the support of notification appliances.

The remote Power Supplies shall be fully supervised and

shall provide 8.0 Amps. of notification appliance power and

1.5 Amps. of auxiliary power output. The NAC Extender

Panel shall be able to select strobe synchronization proto-

col via an internal dip switch. There shall be five selectable

protocols available. The NAC Extender Panel shall syn-

chronize all outputs simultaneously. The NAC Extender

Panel shall be able to use existing notification appliance

circuit’s end-of-line resistors in the range of 2K – 25K ohms

for retrofit applications. The internal battery charging circuit

shall charge up to 26 AH batteries. The NAC Expander/

Power Supply shall be a Gamewell-FCI FireForce 8.

Options

31081

SCE-95 mounting plate provides a means to install two (2)

SCE-95 modules. The addition of SCE-95s provides a

means to run on FF8 outputs via a panel command on an

SLC. The 31081 mounts over the main PCB and is hinged

for access to FF8 terminal.

FF8-MP

Multipack FF8 option provides a means to place up to four

(4) FF8s or 31085s (XP95 device mounting plates) in a sin-

gle lockable enclosure. UL approved.

31076

Class A adaptor converts the four (4) Class B outputs to

four (4) Class A outputs.
