Overview:
The Altronix FireSwitch108 is a cost effective managed NAC Power Extender. It interfaces with 12 or 24VDC Fire
Alarm Control Panels (FACP) to provide Notification Appliance Circuit expansion support, for additional horns/strobes
to allow ADA compliancy. It also provides auxiliary power to support system accessories. It delivers electronically regu-
lated and filtered 24VDC power to Class B or Class A NAC loop circuits. Additionally, a separate 1 amp auxiliary output
for 4-wire smoke detectors is available. Alarm current can be divided between the eight (8) outputs for powering NAC
devices. Outputs are rated at 2.5 amp 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. i.e. March
Time Input, March Time Output). 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. Two (2) FACP signaling outputs can be employed and directed to control supervision and power delivery to any
combination of the eight (8) outputs. It provides a programmable LCD display interface, plus an ethernet port interface for
remote programmability and monitoring.

FireSwitch Applications:
1. General Information:
Altronix FireSwitch units 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.Contactsignalmanufacturerformoredetailedinformation.Unitscanoperatewitheitherone(1)ortwo
(2) outputs from the FACP.
2. Class A and Class B Hookups:

• Uptoeight(8)ClassB.

Testing and Maintenance (cont’d.):
Testoperationofunitasfollows:
Ground fault test: Directly short one leg of the circuit to chassis ground. The ground fault and trouble fault
should be indicated.
NAC open circuit test: Remove the EOL resistor from the last device on the circuit. Open trouble should be indicated.
NAC short circuit test: Place a short across each NAC output individually. NAC short should be indicated.
Disconnect Battery: BAT trouble should be indicated.
Reset Trouble Memory.

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). Program the
FireSwitch 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 appliances. When using only one
(1) FACP output, program to follow Input 1 [IN1]. The units outputs can each be set for the desired NAC drive signal,
such as Code 3 (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:
FireSwitchisdesignedtofollow(replicate)thecodedsequence,generatedbyamanufacturer’ssyncmodule.Upto
eleven(11)FireSwitch108unitscanbesynchronizedwheninterconnectedwithahostFACP.Connecttheoutputof
the FACP module to Input 1 and Input 2 Terminate the input circuit with the EOL (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 synchronization between NAC Power Extenders.

5. Synchronizing NAC Power Extender Using Built-in Sync Protocol:
FireSwitch units include built-in protocols to support Amseco/Potter,Gentex®, System Sensor®or CooperWheelock®
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 notification appliances (strobes), and Input 2 is
used to activate and silence audible notification appliances (strobes) (Table, pg. 6).
Note: Input 1 has to be activated in all the configurations.
6. Synchronizing multiple NAC Power Extender units (up to twelve):
Uptotwelve(12)unitscanbesynchronizedusingmethod1(Fig. 9, pg. 13) or method 2 up to four (4) units can be
synchronized (Fig. 10, pg. 14).

7. Using a Single FACP Output:
When only one FACP output is available, you may connect both Input1 and Input2 to it. Wire [RET1+ and RET1-]
to [INP2+ and INP2-]. Both visual and audible notification appliances will be activated simultaneously (Fig. 11).
Dip Switches 1-4 Settings:
Dry contact INP1 configuration set SW1 and SW3 to the ON position.
Dry contact INP2 configuration set SW2 and SW4 to the ON position.
When connecting INP1 to the sync output of FireSwitch unit for synchronization purposes set SW1 to the ON position
and SW3 to the OFF position. For INP2 to the sync output of FireSwitch unit for synchronization purposes set SW2 to
the ON position and SW4 to the OFF position.
