1.General Information (Use this in conjunction with respective Installation Guide):
Altronix AL602ADA220, AL802ADA220 and AL1002ADA220 are very versatile devices. They can be used with
or without specific synchronization modules provided by some manufacturers. Multiple units can be synchronized
by using either the built-in sync mode or a external synchronization module. Please note, that only notification
appliances with synchronization capabilities can be synchronized. Units can operate with either one (1) or two (2)
outputs from the FACP.
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
2. Class A and Class B Hookups:
Units can be used with the outputs configured for:
• Two (2) Class A (Fig. 2a). • Two (2) Class B and one (1) Class A NAC circuits
• Up to Four (4) Class B. (Fig. 2b).

NAC Loop 1 starts on Output 1 and terminates
on Output 3. Switch SW1, when ON, provides
proper termination for this loop. NAC Loop 2
starts on Output 2 and terminates on Output 4,
SW2 must be turned ON for proper termination.
Please make sure that all the DIP switches for
corresponding outputs are set the same way.
For combination of two (2) Class B and one
(1) Class A circuit, only one (1) switch (SW1 or
SW2) must be turned ON, terminating Class A
circuit only.

3.Non-synchronizable NAC Appliances:
When using NAC appliances not designed to support synchronization feature, it is recommended to use separate
output circuits for audible notification appliances (horns) and visual notification appliances (strobes). Set DIP switches
for the visual notification appliances to follow Input 1 [IN1] and for audible notification appliances to follow Input 2
[IN2]. This will allow, when using two (2) outputs from the FACP, to support silencing of audible notification appli-
ances. When using only one (1) FACP output, set all DIP switches to follow Input 1 [IN1]. The units outputs can each
be set for the desired NAC drive signal, such as Code 3 or march time sequence (Output Programming Selection
Table, pg. 6). Non-synchronizable Audible Appliances will follow the sequence, when feature is selected.
4. Using Multiple NAC Power Extenders from an FACP:
AL602/AL802/1002ADA220 units are designed to follow (replicate) the coded sequence, generated by a manu-
facturer’s sync module. One (1) or more units can be triggered. Connect the output of the FACP module to Input 1
and Input 2 Terminate the input circuit with the EOL or FACP, connecting it to terminals marked [RET +] and [RET –],
or continue the input circuit, connecting to terminals marked [RET +] and [RET –] to [INP +] and [INP –] of the next
unit, when multiple units need to be triggered.
In case FACP does not have any synchronization capabilities and the sync mode is not used,
the notification appliance synchronization will not be provided.

CAUTION: Do not connect any notification appliances on the control circuit interconnecting
FACP outputs (sync module outputs) and inputs of NAC Power Extenders. Applications that do
not employ synchronization module or FACP with synchronization protocol will not provide NAC
sycnchronization between NAC Power Extenders.

5.Synchronizing NAC Power Extender Using Built-in Sync Protocol:
AL602/AL802/1002ADA220 have built-in protocols to support Amseco, Gentex®, System Sensor®, Wheelock®
two-wire synchronizable devices, therefore an external sync module is not required (Output Programming Selection
Table, pg. 5). In these modes Input 1 is always used to activate visual notification appliances (strobes) and Input 2
is used to activate and silence audible notification appliances (strobes).
Note: Input 1 has to be activated in all the configurations.

6.Using a Single FACP Output:
When only one FACP output is available, you may connect both Input 1 and Input 2 to it.
Wire [RET1 +] and [RET1 –] to [INP2 +] and [INP2 –].
Both visual and audible notification appliances will be activated simultaneously (Fig. 6a).

Follower Mode 12, 3
Output follows signal it receives from the corresponding
input (i.e. FACP Sync module - maintains synchronization of
notification appliance circuit).
Temporal Code 3 Mode 31, 2 Enables Temporal Code 3 signal generation output.
This mode will accept a steady or a pulsing input.
Steady Mode 1, 2, 3 A steady output signal will be generated.
This mode will accept steady or pulsing input.
For the above modes DIP Switch 4 determines which Input controls the
corresponding output:
Switch 4 in the ON position causes output(s) to be controlled by Input 1.
Switch 4 in the OFF position causes output(s) to be controlled by Input 2.
