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:

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.
In case FACP does not have any synchronization capabilities and the sync mode is not used,
the notification appliance synchronization will not be provided.
