TrueAlert ES Addressable US/Weather Proof Ceiling Mount Speaker Notification Appliances

Installation Instructions

Cautions, warnings, and regulatory information

Important: When the notification appliance emits light or sound, it indicates the possibility of an emergency situation that requires immediate attention of all occupants.

SAFETY: Always install, maintain, and test notification appliances within their specifications. Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in loss of life and property due to non-functioning notification appliances. Some notification appliances use high voltage. To avoid electrical hazards and avoid damage to appliances, make sure that the electrical power for the Notification Appliance

Circuit is disconnected at the control panel before installing, repairing, or internally adjusting any notification appliances. Even with electrical power removed, some notification appliances (such as visible strobes) store a high voltage charge. The high voltage can cause injury resulting in death from electrical shock. DO NOT TOUCH EXPOSED CIRCUITRY.

LOCATION REFERENCE: Location and quantity of appliances required must conform to the applicable local standards and guidelines

(the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code (NFPA 72); ULC Standard CAN/ULC-S524, Installation of Fire Alarm Systems; the appropriate model building codes, etc.) and specific requirements of the Local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). These notification appliances are not intended for installation within hazardous locations as defined by the National Electrical Code (NEC) or NFPA.

TrueAlert ES Addressable US/Weather Proof Ceiling Mount Speaker Notification Appliances Installation

Instructions

Mounting instructions

1.

Select the mounting location and install the back box using screws suitable for the mounting surface.

2.

Connect the building wires to the terminals at the back of the appliance, see the wiring section.

3.

Secure the appliance to the back box using the provided hardware.

4.

Set the appliance settings. See

Setting the address DIP switch

.

5.

Attach the cover to the appliance. For the A49SO, align the cover mounting tab with the tab in the backbox, and carefully place the cover onto the unit. For the A49SVH, align the cover mounting tab with the strobe dome, and carefully place the cover over the unit.

6.

Press the cover until it snaps into place.

Wiring instructions

Warning: Make sure that all power is disconnected before starting the installation.

1.

At the back box, connect the building wiring to the CKT + and CKT - terminals on the appliance.

2.

To ensure proper continuity, use a torque wrench to tighten the terminal block screws to 12-15 inch-pounds.

3.

Ensure that the correct polarity is maintained for each strobe unit.

4.

SLC wiring must be twisted pair (TWP). CKT Terminals accept 2 Wires: 12-18 American wire gauge (AWG) TWP .

Important: Strip the lead insulation to 7/16 inch maximum.

Wiring notes:

1.

Assign a maximum of 127 active appliances to a circuit. Assign a maximum of 12 active strobe appliances to a powered circuit. The maximum wire resistance between appliances is 25 ohms. Refer to the Field Wiring Diagrams of the driving compatible fire alarm control panel for further instructions.

2.

Notification appliances are rated using an individual module label.

3.

Maintain the correct polarity on the terminal connections.

4.

Terminals 1 through 6 each accommodate two wires, one wire going in and one wire going out to the next appliance.

5.

These appliances are rated to the operating voltage limits of 23-30 VDC. The appliance can fail to operate as intended, and can cause permanent damage to this equipment if it operates outside of these limits.

6.

Only operate the TrueAlert IDNAC S/V and SO using a compatible power supply and amplifier.

7.

T-tapping is not permitted for Class A wiring.

8.

TrueAlert SLC wiring connections are supervised and power-limited.

Setting the address DIP switch

Each addressable TrueAlert IDNAC notification appliance has a unique address that is set using an eight-position DIP switch (ADDR1).

Assign up to 127 unique addresses an signaling line circuit (SLC), however, the total appliance loading available may be less due to appliance current requirements.

To set the address complete the following steps:

1.

Unclip the cover from the appliance by inserting a slotted screwdriver, or a similar sized object into the opening at either end of the cover.

See Figure 5.

2.

Use a non-metallic stylus, or the equivalent to set the switches.

3.

Record the set address.

4.

DIP switch position 8 determines whether this appliance is viewed by the system as an 'ALARM' (OFF) or 'ALERT' (ON) type of appliance.

Confirm the setting for the appliance at this address with the FACP system configuration documentation.

Setting the strobe candela setting

1.

The jumpers are factory set to FACP. Use this setting when programming the candela setting at the 4100ES FACP. The candela setting is visible through the slot on the side of the appliance.

2.

For manual selection, remove the cover and slide the candela flag to the required setting:

W75, W110, W185, 110 candela, or FACP.

The candela setting is visible through the slot on the side of the appliance.

Note: To avoid a programming mismatch trouble, an authorized service personnel must program one of the four candela outputs for each appliance.

To set the candela through the Programmer, set it to FACP. For additional information refer to the 4100ES Programmer’s Manual (574-849AC).

Audio circuit configuration for S/V and SO appliances

Move the wire harness position to the correct terminal post for audio circuit voltage and power tap selection. See Figure 6 and Table 4.

The jumper at P2, on the speaker transformer drive board at the rear of the unit, is factory set to 1-2 for a 25V-1/4W output. For a 70V- 2W output, set

the jumper to 2-3, see Figure 6. Use the default setting, 1-2, for all other speaker tap settings.
