GENERAL
The FCPS-24S6 (6-amp) and FCPS-24S8 (8-amp) are com-
pact, cost-effective remote power supplies with battery charger.
The FCPS-24S6/-24S8 may be connected to any 12- or 24-
volt Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) or may be used as a
stand-alone supply. Primary applications include Notification
Appliance (bell) Circuit (NAC) expansion (to support ADA re-
quirements and NAC synchronization) or auxiliary power to
support 24-volt system accessories. The FCPS-24S6/-24S8
provides regulated and filtered 24 VDC power to four notifi-
cation appliance circuits configured as either four Class B (Style
Y) or Class A (Style Z, with ZNAC-4 option module). Alter-
nately, the four outputs may be configured as all non-resettable,
all resettable, or two non-resettable and two resettable. The
FCPS-24S6/-24S8 also contains a battery charger capable of
charging up to 18 AH batteries.
FEATURES
• UL-Listed NAC synchronization using System Sensor,
Wheelock, or Gentex “Commander²” appliances.
• Cascadable for up to ten power supplies (four for Gentex)
with strobe timing maintained.
• Operates as a “sync follower” or as a “sync generator” (de-
fault). See note on page 2.
• Contains two fully-isolated input/control circuits — triggered
from FACP NAC (NAC expander mode) or jumpered per-
manently “ON” (stand-alone mode).
• Four Class B (Style Y) or four Class A (Style Z, with ZNAC-4
module) NACs.
• 6-amp (FCPS-24S6) or 8-amp (FCPS-24S8) full load output,
with 3 amps maximum/circuit, in NAC expander mode (UL 864).
• 4-amp (FCPS-24S6) or 6-amp (FCPS-24S8) continuous out-
put in stand-alone mode (UL 1481).
• Compatible with coded inputs; signals passed through.
• Optional power-supervision relay (A77-716B).
• In stand-alone mode, output power circuits may be config-
ured as: resettable (reset line from FACP required), non-
resettable, or a mix of two and two.
• Fully regulated and filtered power output — optimal for pow-
ering four-wire smoke detectors, annunciators, and other
system peripherals requiring regulated/filtered power.
• Power-limiting technology meets UL power-limiting require-
ments.
• Form-C normally-closed trouble relay.
• Fully supervised power supply, battery, and NACs.
• Selectable earth fault detection.
• AC trouble report selectable for immediate or 8-hour delay.
• Works with virtually any UL 864 fire alarm control which uti-
lizes an industry-standard reverse-polarity notification cir-
cuit (including unfiltered and unregulated bell power).
• Requires input trigger voltage of 9.0 – 32 VDC.
• Self-contained in compact, locking cabinet — 15" (38.1 cm)
high x 14.5" (36.83 cm) wide x 2.75" (6.985 cm) deep.
• Includes integral battery charger capable of charging up to 18
AH batteries. Cabinet capable of housing 7.0 AH batteries.

• Battery charger may be disabled via DIP switch for applica-
tions requiring larger batteries.
• Fixed, clamp-type terminal blocks accommodate up to 12
AWG (3.1 mm²) wire.
