Main Supply Circuit
The AC terminals are located on the power supply board. The power supply board supervises the main AC
power and provides indication that the AC power is absent.
Figure 1
The terminals are rated at 120 VAC/240 VAC 50/60 Hertz and are marked so accordingly on the board. The
earth ground connection is marked as “G” and is the furthest connection from the line voltage connection.
The AC input power ratings:
Maximum of 5.1A at the nominal 120 VAC rating.
Maximum of 3A at the nominal 240 VAC rating.
Rechargeable Battery Circuit
The battery charging circuit is provided on the power supply board. Terminal connections are provided to con-
nect wire leads for battery connection. The battery must be a recognized or listed sealed lead acid battery or
equivalent.
The battery charging voltage is approximately 27.3 VDC and the circuit is supervised. The battery circuit is
protected with a non-replaceable 7 amp poly switch located on the main circuit board. The maximum battery
charging circuit is 1.0 amp DC.
The battery circuit is rated for 8 to 55 AH batteries and the cabinet will house up to two 18 AH batteries. The
batteries will operate the panel for at least 24 hours and 5 minutes of alarm. In order to determine the minimum
size batteries for standby and alarm times desired, the installer must complete a battery calculation work sheet
in order to determine the minimum battery size for a particular application. For reference, the battery calcula-
tion work sheet is attached as Appendix A. Complete standby battery calculations must be completed to ensure
adequate battery sizes are provided.

Separation of Circuits - Power Limited, Non-Power Limited, High Voltage Wiring
The main AC power connection is considered high-voltage and non-power limited. Battery conductors, and
the alarm, supervisory, and trouble relays are non-power limited. All remaining circuits are low-voltage, power
limited connections.
Proper separation must be maintained between the circuits listed above. All separations in the different wiring
must be maintained by at least 0.25 inches and the wire insulation must be for the higher voltage.
In the enclosure there are sufcient knock outs located around the periphery of the cabinet to allow the installer
to maintain separation between power limited and non-power limited connections. The main AC power connec-
tion should be made on the left side or top left of the cabinet.
Notication Appliance Circuits (NACs)
The PSN-1000 is equipped with six NAC circuits. Each of the circuits is rated for a continuous 3 amps at 24
VDC. The outputs are supervised and regulated. The NACs reverse polarity upon activation and the board and
illustrations are marked accordingly.
The NAC circuits can be congured for Class A operation. Class-A operation is accomplished by using a pair of
NAC circuits. Therefore, the PSN-1000 can provide 3 Class A circuits, each rated for a continuous 3 amps at 24
VDC. The outputs are supervised and regulated.
NAC circuits are power limited and the type of output is selectable. The NACs may be congured for strobe
synchronization with Potter/AMSECO, Wheelock, Gentex, or System Sensor strobe devices as shown compat-
ible in this document and the installation instructions.
The maximum impedance is a function of the load being applied to the circuit. In order to calculate the maxi-
mum impedance as follows
(Alarm Current of Notication Appliances) X (Wire Resistance) < 3 volts.
The NAC circuits may be congured for Class A, Style Z or Class B, Style Y.
The panel has ground fault detection on the NAC circuits. The impedance to ground for ground fault detection is
0 ohms.
