General Information (Use this in conjunction with respective Installation Guide): Altronix AL642ULADA, AL842ULADA and AL1042ULADA are very versatile devices. They can be used with or without specific synchronization modules provided by some manufacturers. Multiple units can be syn- chronized 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: Fig. 2a Single Class B, Single Class A, To FACP To FACP Style W, Y Style Z NAC2 NAC1 EOL or next EOL or next Outputs Outputs device device 2.2K 2.2K To AUX EOL EOL Devices From From FACP FACP NAC2 NAC1 To AUX Devices NO “DRY2” C ---- RET2 + ---- RET1 + ---- LOOP1+ ---- LOOP2+ ---- LOOP3+ ---- LOOP4+ ---- AUX2 + NO “DRY1” C ---- IN2 + ---- IN1 + ---- OUT1 + ---- OUT2 + ---- OUT3 + ---- OUT4 + ---- AUX1 + Each output 1 through 4 can be used in Class B, Style W, Y or Class A, Style Z configuration. For Class A hookups loop starts on [– OUT +] (1 through 4), terminates on corresponding [– RET +]. For Class B, Style W, Y hookups loop starts on [– OUT +], terminates on 2.2K EOL (Altronix Model# AL-EOL22). -2- 42 ULADA Application Guide 3. Non-synchronizable NAC Appliances: When using NAC appliances not designed to support synchronization feature, it is recommended to use sepa- rate 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 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, 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. Triggering One (1) or More NAC Power Extenders from an FACP: One (1) or more units can be triggered. Connect the output of the FACP module to Input 1 and Input 2. Terminate the input circuits with the EOL, connecting it to terminals marked [RET + and RET –], or continue the input circuits to the next NAC Power Extender. In case FACP does not have any synchronization capabilities and the sync mode is not used, the notification appliance synchronization will not be provided.
