AL602ADA220 Installation Guide
Overview:
Altronix AL602ADA220 is an extremely cost-effective 6.5A remote power supply/battery charger. It may be con-
nected to any 24 volt Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). Primary applications include Notification Appliance Circuit
(NAC such as strobes and horns) expansion support to meet ADA requirements. It also provides auxiliary power
to support system accessories. The unit delivers electronically regulated and filtered 24 volt power to Class B or
Class A NAC loop circuits. The 6.5A max. alarm current can be divided between the four (4) outputs for powering
NAC devices. Each output is rated at 2.5A max., and can be independently programmed for Steady, Temporal
Code 3 or Strobe Synchronization. All outputs may be programmed for Input to Output Follower Mode (output will
follow input). In non-alarm condition independent loop supervision for Class A and/or Class B FACP NAC circuits
is provided. In the event of a loop trouble, the FACP will be notified via the 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 employed and directed to control supervision and power delivery to
any combination of the four (4) outputs.
Specifications:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.
This installation should be made by qualified service personnel and should conform to all local codes.
