INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE

About the PowerBoost3

The PowerBoost3 (herein referred to as the Module) provides two supervised outputs that can be used for bells/sirens to meet certain UL requirements, or can serve as an auxiliary power source for remote devices such as door strikes, latches, keypads, etc. The module mounts inside its own cabinet.

PowerBoost3-F

PowerBoost3-B

For bell output usage (ECP mode), the control activates the outputs and receives output status via the control’s ECP terminals. Can also report various trouble conditions to the control via on-board triggers.

For auxiliary power usage (stand-alone mode), the outputs provide steady power to an attached device, and the module reports various trouble conditions to the control via on-board triggers.

PowerBoost3 Configurations

VSM-002-V0

Model Configuration

Module Features

ECP Mode

When used in ECP mode, the Module provides two supervised bell outputs (12VDC, 3A pool, 2A max on any one output).

The Module reports supervised conditions to the control panel via trigger output and ECP connections. These trouble conditions are reported as alarms on assigned zones (similar to zones on a 4204CF Relay Module). The Module and zones need to be programmed into the control. See Programming for ECP section for detailed information. The Module must be set for an appropriate device address via its DIP switches.

The Module supervises the following conditions when used in ECP mode:

Via ECP Connection

• Output 1 Supervision (see note 1)

• Output 2 Supervision (see note 1)

Via Trigger Output Connection

• Trouble (see note 2)

• AC Loss

• Low Battery (see note 3)

NOTES

1. Output supervision trouble activates upon EOLR open or short

2. Trouble trigger activates upon output overload, output supervision, and earth ground fault (VISTA-FBP series only)

3. Low battery trigger activates upon low battery (voltage below 11.5VDC), battery missing, or battery charger supervision conditions

Stand-Alone Mode

When used in Stand-Alone mode, the Module provides steady power of 12VDC, 2.2A total (3A alarm, 2A max on any one output) to the two outputs.

To use stand-alone mode, connect the outputs to the devices to be powered and set the module’s DIP switch to address 0 (all switches OFF).

Trigger Outputs

For control’s that do not fully support ECP communication, the Module provides three trigger outputs that can be connected to the control’s zone inputs to report the following conditions:

Trigger Action

AC Loss

Low Battery

Trouble on steady = loss of AC on steady = low battery or missing battery on steady for any of the following conditions:

- output 1 or 2 overload - ground fault

- output 1 or 2 supervision - battery charger failure

AC Loss Detection and Battery Monitoring

The Module is powered by an 18VAC 72VA wire-in transformer connected to a 120VAC source. Loss of AC power results in a fault condition reported to the control via ECP or the AC Loss trigger. The size of the battery the Module can charge is dependent upon the maximum output current of the system and the system load. This output is protected against shorts and against battery lead reversal.

The Module supervises the following battery conditions:

• Battery charger failure (reports to control via ECP or the Trouble trigger)

• Missing battery indication within 60 seconds (90 seconds for UL) of the disconnection of the battery leads (reports to control via ECP or Battery trigger).

• Low battery when the battery voltage falls below 11.5V (reports to control via ECP or Battery trigger).

Earth Ground Fault Detection

The Module supports built-in Earth Ground Fault detection that complies with UL864 Fire. A ground fault occurs upon a short through TB1-3 from any other terminal. Ground faults report to the control via ECP or the Trouble trigger

Module Shutdown

If the Module loses AC power and the battery voltage drops below 9.8VDC, the system will disconnect the battery. This feature helps prevent total discharge of the battery cells that would otherwise result in battery replacement. When AC power is restored, the battery automatically reconnects back into the system.

LED Indications

The Module has three LEDs that indicate the following conditions:

ECP Bus

Low Battery

Trouble green green yellow yellow on = AC power available single flashing = communicating with control

3 flashes = loss of communication with control on = missing or low battery condition on = one or more trouble conditions exist (bell overload, output supervision, ground fault, charger fail)

Mounting and Wiring the SA5110TFR Transformer

The PowerBoost3-F uses the SA5110TFR Transformer, which is an enclosed AC power transformer with manually resettable circuit breaker protection. It mounts in the lower left-hand corner of the cabinet.

UL:

• A dedicated 120VAC circuit must be used for fire applications.

• Wires must be rated for 90 degrees C or higher operation.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the dedicated AC circuit is not powered at this time. Apply AC power only after all other wiring, except the backup battery wiring, has been completed.

Connect the transformer to the control as follows:

1. Remove the cover from the transformer's enclosure.

2. Remove the lower knockout on the left-hand side of the cabinet. Run 120VAC power wires into the transformer enclosure via this knockout.

3. Use wire nuts (not supplied) to splice the 120VAC wires to the transformer's black and white flying leads. Push the mated wires back into the transformer enclosure.

4. Connect the transformer's 18VAC blue flying leads which emerge from the top of the enclosure to the PowerBoost3 AC terminals.

Mounting and Wiring the SA1451 Transformer

The PowerBoost3-B uses the SA1451 Transformer, which is an enclosed AC power transformer with manually resettable circuit breaker protection. The transformer provides 18VAC/72VA secondary winding for powering the control and mounts outside the cabinet.

To connect the SA1451 transformer to the control, perform the following steps:

1. Remove the front cover of the enclosure.

2. Mount the enclosure to the wall near the PowerBoost3 cabinet. The enclosure has four mounting holes on its back surface for this purpose.

3. Run 120VAC wiring to the enclosure in conduit. A dedicated circuit must be used.

4. Use wire nuts to splice the 120VAC wires to the transformer’s white and black primary leads.

5. Connect the earth ground post on the back of the enclosure to a good earth ground.

6. Run 16AWG wire in conduit from the enclosure to the control panel.

7. Use wire nuts to splice the transformer blue 18VAC secondary leads to the 16AWG wire. Connect the 16AWG wire at the control panel to terminals 1 and 2.

8. Replace the front cover of the enclosure and fasten it with the screws supplied.

NOTES:

• Use wires having insulation rated for at least 90°C operation and suitable for non-power limited applications

• Use care to keep 18VAC wiring separated from all other wiring inside the control panel’s enclosure. This must be done by running non-power-limited 18VAC wiring into the control panel’s enclosure via one of the knockouts on the left-hand side, and then tie-wrapping these wires to the tie-wrap loops located near the knockout.

Programming For ECP Mode

For ECP compatible controls, the PowerBoost3 appears to the control as a 4204CF Relay module. The various output trouble conditions report to the control as alarms on specific zone numbers based on zones associated with the 4204CF

Relay module (i.e. zones 601-696). Each zone must be programmed in the control accordingly. When programming the control, set each of the reporting zones for 24hr trouble zone type.

To use ECP mode, set the DIP switch to an appropriate address for the control being used (refer to the DIP Switch Table for the switch settings for each address).

UL: If more than one PowerBoost3 module is to be used in a fire application, an ECP-ISO module must be used for each additional PowerBoost3 module.

Notes on Installing Sounders

The PowerBoost3 provides two Notification Appliance Circuits (Class A or B, Style Y supervision) for operating fire or burglary alarm notification appliances. Each circuit is rated as follows: 10VDC – 14VDC, 2A max. power limited.

NOTE: The total alarm current drawn from outputs 1 and 2 cannot exceed 2.9A for battery-independent operation.

UL:

• Burglary Notification Appliance Circuits must be programmed for a timeout of 16 minutes or longer.

• Commercial fire alarm systems require Notification Appliance Circuits to be supervised.

Notification Appliance Circuit Supervision

The PowerBoost3 monitors the Notification Appliance Circuits wiring for open and short circuit faults while the output is inactive. The system provides a trouble indication when an open occurs. When a short occurs between the Bell (+) and

Bell (–) terminal wiring, or between the Bell (+) terminal wiring and earth ground the system provides a trouble indication.

UL:

• Use only UL Listed sounding devices for UL installations.

• In Commercial Fire installations, the PoweBoost3 cannot be used to drive sounders in the same physical area as sounders connected to other alarm outputs.

Supervising the Notification Appliance Circuits

To wire the NAC using the supervision feature, perform the following:

Install a 2K EOL resistor (Model 2EOL, supplied) across the last notification appliance on each Notification Appliance

Circuit to be supervised.

Earth Ground Connections

In order for the lightning transient protective devices in this product to be effective, the designated earth ground terminal

(terminal 3) must be terminated in a good earth ground. Recommended wire gauge for the ground connection is #16

AWG, run no farther than 30 feet.

IMPORTANT: The panel requires the earth ground connection for its lightning transient protection devices and in order to detect Ground Fault conditions.

PowerBoost3-B

To connect the earth ground, perform the following steps:

1. Connect the earth ground post inside the 1451 enclosure to a good earth ground (use grounding methods specified in the National Electric Code).

2. Use a green nut (supplied) to secure the wire to the ground post. Ground wire should be the only wire under this nut.

3. Run a 16AWG wire from the ground post to the panel’s earth ground terminal (30). Use a second green nut (supplied) to secure this wire to the ground post.

This connection avoids ground loops that may occur when the 1451 and panel are connected to different earth ground systems.

PowerBoost3-F

To connect the transformer to the control, perform the following steps:

1. Remove the front cover of the enclosure.

2. Mount the enclosure to the wall near the control panel. The enclosure has four mounting holes on its back surface for this purpose.

3. Run 120VAC wiring to the enclosure in conduit. A dedicated circuit must be used.

4. Use wire nuts to splice the 120VAC wires to the transformer’s white and black primary leads.

5. Connect the earth ground post on the back of the enclosure to a good earth ground.

6. Run 16AWG wire in conduit from the enclosure to the control panel.

7. Use wire nuts to splice the transformer blue 18VAC secondary leads to the 16AWG wire. Connect the 16AWG wire at the control panel to terminals 1 and 2.

8. Replace the front cover of the enclosure and fasten it with the screws supplied.

NOTES:

• Use wires having insulation rated for at least 90°C operation and suitable for non-power limited applications.

• Use care to keep 18VAC wiring separated from all other wiring inside the control panel’s enclosure. This must be done by running, non-power-limited 18VAC wiring into the control panel’s enclosure via one of the knockouts on the left-hand side, and then tie-wrapping these wires to the tie-wrap loops located near the knockout.

Determining the Control’s Power Supply Load

In the event of an AC power loss the PowerBoost3 must be supported by backup, rechargeable batteries. When the system is used, a 12AH to 34.4AH battery must be connected the control panel.

The battery’s capacity must be sized to provide the required hours of standby time followed by the required minutes of alarm time.

Use the worksheets that follow to calculate the total current for auxiliary power 1 or bell power 1 and auxiliary power 2 or bell power 2 total current load. In each worksheet, multiply each device’s standby and/or alarm current by the number of units used.

Fill out the Battery Capacity Calculation Worksheet, following the other worksheets below, to determine the required capacity for the backup battery. Select a battery from the Battery Selection Table (found later in this section) that have a capacity greater than or equal to the calculated capacity.

1. In Worksheet 1A, enter devices used on Auxiliary Power 1. Calculate standby and alarm currents, then add to get

Auxiliary Power 1 current subtotal.

Connect the battery, referring to the diagram below.

NOTE: The standby battery is automatically tested for 10 minutes every 4 hours

The

PowerBoost3

also runs a 5-second battery test every 60 seconds to check if the battery is connected.

NOTE: WHEN CONNECTING BATTERIES IN PARALLEL:

- USE BATTERIES FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURER AND

WITH THE SAME VOLTAGE AND CAPACITY RATING.

- USE BATTERIES WITH APPROXIMATELY SAME AGE AND

STATE OF CHARGE.

- USE CABLES PROVIDED AND OBSERVE POLARITY!

- IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ALL BATTERIES BE REPLACED

AT SAME TIME, EVEN IF ONLY ONE BATTERY HAS BECOME

WEAK.

- AS LONG AS ONE GOOD BATTERY REMAINS CONNECTED,

THE ONCE PER 60 SECOND BATTERY TEST WILL NOT

DETECT THE DISCONNECTION OF REMAINING BATTERIES.

Frequently asked questions

In ECP mode, the PowerBoost3 module provides two supervised bell outputs (12VDC, 3A pool, 2A max on any one output) and reports supervised conditions to the control panel via trigger output and ECP connections. These trouble conditions are reported as alarms on assigned zones (similar to zones on a 4204CF Relay Module). The Module and zones need to be programmed into the control.

In Stand-Alone mode, the PowerBoost3 module provides steady power of 12VDC, 2.2A total (3A alarm, 2A max on any one output) to the two outputs. To use stand-alone mode, connect the outputs to the devices to be powered and set the module’s DIP switch to address 0 (all switches OFF).

The PowerBoost3 is powered by an 18VAC 72VA wire-in transformer connected to a 120VAC source. Loss of AC power results in a fault condition reported to the control via ECP or the AC Loss trigger. The Module supervises the following battery conditions: Battery charger failure, missing battery indication, and low battery.

The total alarm current drawn from outputs 1 and 2 cannot exceed 2.9A for battery-independent operation.

The battery must be sized to provide the required hours of standby time followed by the required minutes of alarm time. You should connect a 12AH to 34.4AH battery to the control panel.
