Overview:

The Altronix AL600ULADA is an extremely cost effective 6.5 amp voltage regulated remote power supply/battery charg-
er. The AL600ULADA may be connected to any 12 or 24 volt Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). Primary applica-
tions include Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) expansion (supports ADA requirements) and will provide aux-
iliary power to support system accessories. The unit delivers regulated and filtered 24 or 12 volt power via four
(4) Class B, two (2) Class A or two (2) Class B and one (1) Class A  Notification Appliance Circuits.
Additionally, a separate 50mA auxiliary output with reset for four (4)-wire smoke detectors. The 6.5 amp continu-
ous supply current can be divided between the four (4) outputs for powering notification appliances. Each output is
rated at 2 amp max. An individual output of 4 amp is achieved by paralleling 2 outputs. The AL600ULADA in
non-alarm condition provides independent loop supervision for Class A and/or Class B FACP NAC circuits. In the event
of a loop trouble the FACP will be notified via the AL600ULADA’s steered input (input 1 or input 2). In addition, there
are common trouble output terminals (NC, C, NO) which are used to indicate general loop/system trouble. A common
trouble input is provided for optional NC (normally closed) devices to report trouble to the FACP. Two (2) FACP signaling
outputs can be connected to AL600ULADA’s inputs. These inputs can then be directed to control supervision and power
delivery to any combination of the four (4) outputs.
