dn-6927:a FCPS-24S6(C/E) & FCPS- 24S8(C/E) 6- & 8-Amp 24-Volt Remote Power Supplies Power Supplies General The FCPS-24S6E (6-amp) and FCPS-24S8E (8-amp) are remote power supplies with battery charger. The FCPS-24S6/- 24S8 may be connected to any 12 or 24 volt fire alarm control panel (FACP) or may be used as stand-alone supplies. Pri- mary applications include notification appliance (bell) circuit (NAC) expansion (to support ADA requirements and NAC syn- chronization) or auxiliary power to support 24 volt system accessories. The FCPS-24S6/-24S8 provides regulated and filtered 24 VDC power to four notification appliance circuits configured as either four Class B (Style Y) or Class A (Style Z, with ZNAC-4 option module). Alternately, the four outputs may be configured as all non-resettable, all resettable or two non- resettable and two resettable. The FCPS-24S6/-24S8 also contains a battery charger capable of charging up to 18 AH batteries. FCPS-24S6C & FCPS-24S8C are ULC-listed. NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, the terms FCPS-24S6 and FCPS-24S8 used in this document refers to the standard FCPS- 24S6 and FCPS-24S8, FCPS-24S6C and FCPS-24S8C, the FCPS-24S6E and FCPS-24S8E 6927pho1.jpg Features • Includes integral battery charger capable of charging up to • UL-Listed NAC synchronization using System Sensor, 18 AH batteries.
