1. General Information (Use this in conjunction with respective Installation Guide):
Altronix AL602ULADA, AL602ULADAJ, AL802ULADA, AL802ULADAJ, AL1002ULADA and
AL1002ULADAJ 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. Contact signal manufacturer for more detailed information. Units can operate with either
one (1) or two (2) outputs from the FACP.
2. Class A, Style Z and Class B, Style W, Y Hookups:
Units can be used with the outputs configured for:
• Two (2) Class A, Style Z (Fig. 2a). • Two (2) Class B, Style W, Y and
• Up to Four (4) Class B, Style W, Y one (1) Class A, Style Z NAC circuits (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, Style W, Y and
one (1) Class A, Style Z 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 appli-
ances to follow Input 2 [IN2]. This will allow, when using two (2) outputs from the FACP, to support silencing
of audible notification appliances. 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/AL802/1002ULADA(J) units are designed to follow (replicate) the coded sequence, generated by a
manufacturer’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 pro-
vide NAC sycnchronization between NAC Power Extenders.

5. Synchronizing NAC Power Extender Using Built-in Sync Protocol:
AL602/AL802/1002ULADA(J) have built-in protocols to support Amseco, Faraday, Gentex®and System
Sensor®, Wheelock®two-wire synchronizable devices, therefore an external sync module is not required
(Output Programming Selection Table, pg. 6). In these modes Input 1 is always used to activate visual notifica-
tion 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.
