IDNAC SLC Operation Advantage
TrueAlert V/O Appliances with Addressable
Strobes on IDNAC SLCs
provide visible notification
using a single two-wire circuit that also
confirms
connection to the individual notification appliance’s
electronic circuit
. This operation increases circuit
supervision integrity by providing supervision that
extends beyond the appliance wiring connections.
Reduced current allows efficient IDNAC SLC
operation.
With
IDNAC SLCs
, a
constant
29 VRMS
source voltage is maintained, even during battery standby,
allowing strobes to operate at higher voltage with lower
current and ensuring a consistent current draw and voltage
drop margin under both primary power and secondary
battery standby. Efficiencies include wiring distances up to
2 to 3 times farther than with conventional notification, or
support for more appliances per IDNAC SLC, or use of
smaller gauge wiring, or combinations of these benefits, all
providing installation and maintenance savings with high
assurance that appliances that operate during normal system
testing will operate during worst case alarm conditions.
Reducing Installation and Testing Time.
With
separate controls on the same two-wire SLC, installation
time and expense for both retrofit and new construction
can be significantly reduced. When Class B wiring is
used,
wiring can be “T” tapped
, allowing more savings in
distance, wire, conduit (size and utilization), and overall
installation efficiency. Use of the magnet test feature
improves installation efficiency. TrueAlert device reports
conveniently identify information about each connected
appliance.
By providing an amber lens strobe with a clear lens
strobe, the combination strobe assembly allows a single
electrical installation to provide both types of visible
notification.
TrueAlert Addressable Diagnostics
Test Features.
Controllers can be selected to pulse each
appliance’s LED when it receives a supervision poll. When
the controller is selected for diagnostic mode, the appliance
magnet test feature provides a response at the individual
appliance being tested.
Silent Appliance Magnet Test.
In this test mode, in
response to the magnet test, the appliance LED pulses
sequentially to conveniently indicate the appliance’s
address.
Operational Appliance Testing.
In this test mode, after
the address is indicated by pulsing the appliance LED, the
strobe will briefly flash to indicate proper operation.
TrueStart Instrument Two (TSIT).
The 2nd generation
of the Simplex TrueStart Test Instrument adds testing of
IDNAC SLC wiring and TrueAlert (and TrueAlert ES)
appliances to its ability to test IDCs, NACs, and IDNet
communications
before
connection to the control panel
.
Please contact your local Simplex representative for
additional information.
