Overview
1.1 RPS-1000 Description
The RPS-1000 Intelligent Power Module provides additional power and circuits to the
IFP-2000, IFP-1000, IFP-1000ECS, IFP-100 or IFP-100ECS FACPs. The RPS-1000
can power all IFP-2000, IFP-1000, IFP-1000ECS, IFP-100 or IFP-100ECS
compatible modules, including SLC devices (via a Model 5815XL SLC Expander),
remote annunciators (RA-1000); notification appliances, auxiliary power modules,
and all other compatible modules.
Note: The IFP-100 does not use 5815XL SLC expanders.
The RPS-1000 has six Flexputs™ and two programmable relays. Outputs are rated
3.0 A (6.0 A total for each RPS-1000). Relays are Form C rated at 2.5 A @ 24 VDC.
Outputs and relays are fully programmable.
The RPS-1000 is optically isolated, providing ground loop isolation and transient
protection. It functions as an SBUS repeater which conditions the RS-485 signal and
allows the module to drive up to 6,000 feet of additional SBUS wiring.
The RPS-1000 is housed in a metal cabinet that is identical in size to the IFP-1000/
IFP-1000ECS FACP cabinet. This cabinet is large enough to house two 17 AH
batteries. Like the IFP-1000/IFP-1000ECS cabinets, the RPS-1000 cabinet provides
mounting studs for two Model 5815XL SLC Expander modules.
The RPS-1000 communicates to the main IFP-1000 or IFP-1000ECS FACP via the
SBUS. Each RPS-1000 provides an additional 6,000 feet of SBUS wiring length to
the main panel. As the drawings on the next pages illustrate, this allows you to
distribute modules, SLC devices, and outputs throughout an extremely large facility.
As well as expanding the wiring length capabilities of IFP-1000 or IFP-1000ECS, the
RPS-1000 also expands IFP-1000’s power capabilities by an additional 6.0 A of
current.

Before You Begin Installing
2.1 What’s in the Box?
The Model RPS-1000 ships with the following hardware:
• A cabinet with all hardware assembled
• Two keys for the front door
• Ten 4.7K ohm end-of-line resistors
Note: For UL installations Model 7628 4.7kend-of-line resistor (ordered separately) must be used.
• A battery cable for batteries wired in series
2.2 Environmental Specifications
It is important to protect the RPS-1000 control panel from water. To prevent water
damage, the following conditions should be AVOIDED when installing the units:
• Do not mount directly on exterior walls, especially masonry walls (condensation)
• Do not mount directly on exterior walls below grade (condensation)
• Protect from plumbing leaks
• Protect from splash caused by sprinkler system inspection ports
• Do not mount in areas with humidity-generating equipment (such as dryers, production
machinery)
When selecting a location to mount the RPS-1000, the unit should be mounted where
it will NOT be exposed to temperatures outside the range of 0°C-49°C (32°F-120°F)
or humidity outside the range of 10%-93% at 30°C (86°F) non-condensing.
2.3 Preventing Water Damage
Water damage to the fire system can be caused by moisture entering the cabinet
through the conduits. Conduits that are installed to enter the top of the cabinet are
most likely to cause water problems. Installers should take reasonable precautions to
prevent water from entering the cabinet. Water damage is not covered under
warranty.

2.6 Calculating Current Draw and Standby Battery
This section is for helping you determine the current draw and standby battery needs
for your installation.
2.6.1 Worksheet Requirements
The following steps must be taken when determining RPS-1000 current draw and
standby battery requirements.
Filling in the Current Draw Worksheet, Table 2-4 (Section 2.6.2)
1. For the RPS-1000, the worst case current draw is listed for the panel, addressable devices,
and SLC expanders. Fill in the number of addressable devices and expanders that will be
used in the system and compute the current draw requirements for alarm and standby.
Record this information in Table 2-4 at Line A.
2. Add up the current draw for all auxiliary devices and record in the table at Line B.
3. Add up all notification appliance loads and record in the table at Line C.
4. For notification appliances and auxiliary devices not mentioned in the manual, refer to the
device manual for the current ratings.
5. Make sure that the total alarm current you calculated, including current for the panel itself,
does not exceed 6.0 A. This is the maximum alarm current allowable.
6. Complete the remaining instructions in Table 2-4 for determining battery size require-
ments.
2.6.1.1 Maximum Battery Standby Load
Table 2-3 shows the maximum battery standby load for the RPS-1000 based on 24

** If you are using door holders, you do not need to consider door holder current for alarm/battery standby,
because power is removed during that time. However, during normal operation, door holders draw current
and must be included in the 6.0 A total current that can be drawn from the panel.
*** Use next size battery with capacity greater than required.
2.7 Wiring Specifications
2.7.1 Length Limitations
This section contains information on calculating SBUS wire distances and the types
of wiring configurations (Class A and B).
2.7.2 Calculating Wiring distance for SBUS modules
The following instructions will guide you in determining the type of wire and the
maximum wiring distance that can be used with SBUS accessory modules.
To calculate the wire gauge that must be used to connect SBUS modules to the
panel, it is necessary to calculate the total worst case current draw for all modules on
a single 4-conductor bus. The total worst case current draw is calculated by adding
the individual worst case currents for each module. The individual worst case values
are shown in the table below.
Note: Total worst case current draw on a single SBUS cannot exceed 1 amp. If a large number of
accessory modules are required, and the worst case current draw will exceed the 1 amp limit,
then the current draw must be distributed using RPS-1000 Power Expanders. Each RPS-1000
Power Expander provides an additional SBUS, with an additional 1 amp of SBUS current. Wiring
distance calculations are done separately for eachRPS-1000, and separately for the panel itself.
After calculating the total worst case current draw, Table 2-5 specifies the maximum
distance the modules can be located from the panel on a single wire run. The table
insures 6.0 volts of line drop maximum. In general, the wire length is limited by
resistance, but for heavier wire gauges, capacitance is the limiting factor.
Model Number Worst Case Current Draw
RA-1000 Fire Annunciator .100 amps
RA-100 Remote Annunciator .100 amps
5824 Parallel/Serial Interface .040 amps
5880 LED IO Expander .250 amps

These cases are marked in the chart with an asterisk (*). Maximum length can never
be more than 6,000 feet, regardless of gauge used. (The formula used to generate
this chart is shown in the note below).

Wiring Distance calculation example:
Suppose a system is configured with the following SBUS modules:
2 - RA-1000 Fire Annunciator
1 - RPS-1000 Intelligent Power Expander
1 - 5865 LED Fire Annunciator
1 - 5824 Parallel/Serial Interface
The total worst case current is calculated as follows:
Using this value, and referring to the Wiring Distance table, it can be found that the
available options are:
370 feet maximum using 22 Gauge wire
938 feet maximum using 18 Gauge wire
1493 feet maximum using 16 Gauge wire
2362 feet maximum using 14 Gauge wire
RA-1000 Current Draw = 2 x .100 amps = .200 amps
RPS-1000 Current Draw = 1 x .010 amps = .010 amps
5865 Current Draw = 1 x .200 amps = .200 amps
5824 Current Draw = 1 x .040 amps = .040 amps
