3.5.2.2.2.1 Maximum Number of Strobes for Synchronization
The maximum current draw for a Notification Appliance Circuit cannot exceed 2.5 amps for
models with the FLPS-3 power supply or 3.0 amps for models with the FLPS-7 power supply
(refer to the AC Power section under "Specifications" on page 14). Refer to the
manufacturer’s documentation supplied with the Strobes to determine the maximum current
draw for each strobe and ensure that the circuit maximum is not exceeded.
To ensure proper strobe and circuit operation, there is also a limit to the number of strobes that
can be attached to each circuit. Following is a list of the strobes that have been tested with this
FACP and the maximum number that can be connected to each NAC. Make sure that the NAC
maximum current is not exceeded:
3.5.2.3 Silence
Pressing 1 while viewing NAC Screen #2 will cause the following screen to be displayed:
Pressing 1 while viewing the Silenceable Screen will program the selected NAC as a
silenceable circuit. This will allow the NAC to be silenced by pressing the Alarm Silence key
or by the Auto Silence feature.
Pressing 2 while viewing the Silenceable Screen will program the selected NAC as a
nonsilenceable circuit. This will prevent the selected main circuit board NAC from being
silenced by pressing the Alarm Silence key or by the Auto Silence feature.
Pressing 3 while viewing the Silenceable Screen will program the selected NAC as a
synchronized mute circuit. Refer to "Synchronized NAC Operation" on page 69 for a
description of synchronization.
Important: When a Notification Appliance Circuit with a mix of audible and visual devices is
programmed for Sync Mute, only the audible devices will be turned off if the Silence key is
pressed or if the Autosilence feature is enabled. The visual devices (strobes, etc.) will continue
to operate.
