Napco Commercial Platform Advantages

 Easy Wire Compatibility 

-SLC controller supports shielded, unshielded, 

twisted and untwisted wire - ideal for retrofi ts

Longer SLC loop lengths, support more device load each, too

(see below for distance at maximum device load in alarm/standby 

each)

 10,000ft. #14AWG 

• 

6,200ft #16AWG 

 4,000 ft. #18AWG

Support for Legacy and Existing Notifi cation Appliances

 - One NAC 

output confi gurable for 12V for easy retrofi t compatibility 

 

 UL Regulated NAC outputs

Automatic drift compensation for system’s analog smoke detectors

 Separate 7A NAC Extender – (4) NAC’s, may be installed anywhere on 

the 4-wire bus. Provides universal FACP support. 

 Keypads mount anywhere on the bus and have fl ash-able fi rmware – 

for updates via Quickloader

Smoke Obsuration Report

 -Quickloader device sensitivity report 

allows the printout of a report for the AHJ listing the current status of 

all analog smoke detectors in the system including the programmed 

obscuration level for each device and the actual sensitivity reading for 

each device. Report is generated in 3 ways- either remotely (uploaded) 

or locally through notebook PC or use optional onsite printer. 

Isolated backup battery circuits for Burglary and Fire for EZ backup 

calculation and AHJ compliance

; allows dealer to accommodate 

separate backup times for burg and fi re. This allows burg system to 

drop out after burg battery depletion, while fi re system is maintained 

and extremely stable for extended period.

Full line of UL Commercial Devices for more fl exibility & labor-savings 

Example, Use Gemini  Commercial Wireless 2-input module (GEMC-

WL-WD2) to convert any UL listed device into a UL wireless device, 

ideal for sprinkler supervisories or for use with pull stations 

(mounts 

on top of wall/conduit or in deep sngle-gang box (plastic).
