3.5 ABC Voltage Selection
The output voltage of the BNx000 must be carried through the Accessory Board Connector (P2)
when using the BN x000 power supply with Beacon Accessory Modules that connect to P2 using
ABC cables. The Buss Select Fuse (See Figure 3.5.1.1) determines if the voltage is available on
the Accessory Board Connector (P2).
Figure 3.5.1.1
3.5.1 Adjusting the Buss Select Fuse
The Buss Select Fuse is factory set for proper operation. The Fuse setting options are:
SETTING/POSITION DESCRIPTION
B1 – DOWN
Makes the power supply voltage available on the Accessory Board Connector (P2).
This is the required setting when connecting a Beacon Accessory Module.
B2 - UP Removes voltage from the Accessory Board Connector (P2).
Because older BNx000 boards (PCB#: 38-118 REV A02 or earlier) do not have a Buss Select
Fuse, always check the position of this fuse setting when installing a new BNx000 Board (PCB #
38-118 REV A03A or later) into an existing system.
3.6 Output Terminals
The BNx000 has three sets of output terminals:
The DC1 output provides constant power, regardless of the state of the FAI input
The DC2 output provides power which DROPS upon activation of the FAI input
The DC3 output provides power ONLY upon activation of the FAI input
All three sets of output terminals on the BNx000 provide the same output voltage, 12VDC or
24VDC, as selected by the voltage select switch (S1). See Section 5.1 for more information.

For proper operation, the jumpers on the BNx000 should be set appropriately. All jumpers
should be verified or set before powering the unit.
Jumper Description Settings Default
JP1 (BPD) Battery Presence Up (D) - Disable
Down - Enable Down - Enable
JP2 (SPV) N/A Up Up
JP3 (D/E) FAI Filtering Left (D) - Disable
Right (E) - Enable Left (D) - Disable
J5 (VAC SELECT) Input Voltage Configuration Up (120) - 120VAC Input
Down (240) or Removed- 240 Input Up (120) - 120VAC
Note: Jumper positions are referenced with the output wiring terminal blocks (TB1&2) on the bottom
5.2.1 JP1 (BPD) - Battery Presence
Allows disabling of the battery presence detection for applications where no backup battery set
is used.

5.2 Jumper Settings (continued)
5.2.3 JP3 (D/E)
This jumper enables or disables FAI input filtering. FAI input filtering is used if the FAI input is
connected to a coded source (i.e. pulsing input).
5.2.4 J5 (VAC SELECT)
This jumper selects the AC input voltage to be used to power the BNx000. The power supply is
factory set for 120 VAC input (J5 in the UP position). Move the jumper to the DOWN position
or remove it to operate the power supply with 240 VAC input.
CAUTION: J5 MUST be set properly before powering the unit or damage to the
system will occur.
5.3 Visual Indicators
The BNx000 contains seven visual status indicators:
LED Description Color Conditions
AC PWR (D20) AC Power Green Lights when AC Power Present
ACF (D50) AC Fault Yellow Lights on low / missing AC Power
SYS TBL (D33) System Trouble Yellow Lights when a system trouble present
REV BAT (D27) Reverse Battery Yellow Lights when battery connection reversed
DC1 (D13) DC1 Available Green Lights when DC1 output is available
DC2 / DC3 (D24) DC2 & DC3 Available Green Lights when DC2 & DC3 output is available
FAI (D4) FAI Active Red Lights when a valid FAI input signal is received
5.3.1 AC PWR (D20)
For safety reasons, this LED lights any time there is AC voltage present at the AC input,
regardless of the AC fault status, battery state of charge, or power supply condition.
CAUTION: Always check for AC presence with a volt meter before servicing
5.3.2 ACF (D50)
This LED lights when AC power is low or missing. It does not necessarily indicate that the
power supply is not operating. See the chart in Section 5.3.

5.3 Visual Indicators (continued)
5.3.3 SYS TBL (D33)
This LED lights whenever a fault condition (except AC Faults) occurs. See the chart in Section
5.3. Fault conditions detected include:
High or Low battery voltage
High or Low output voltage
Internal Power Supply Fault
Blown Fuse (F2, F3, F4)
Missing battery (If Battery Presence is enabled)
5.3.4 REV BAT (D27)
This LED lights when a battery set is connected to the BNx000 in a reverse polarity. This LED
will be accompanied by the SYS TBL LED and a blown battery fuse (F4 - BAT)
5.3.5 DC1 (D13)
This LED lights when there is DC power available at the DC1 output.
5.3.6 DC2 / DC3 (D24)
This LED lights when there is DC power available to the DC2 and DC3 outputs.
5.3.7 FAI (D4)
This LED lights when a valid FAI activation signal is received at the FAI input. When lit, the DC2
output switches OFF, the DC3 output switches ON, and the FAI buss on the ABC connector is
activated for activation of compatible accessory boards.
