ment such as the JNCA, JNCA-2, AMG and ACS series devices.

It provides all the necessary internal operating power plus addi-

tional power for operation of external alarm Notification Appli-

ance Circuits. A battery charging circuit is included.

Features

• Provides all internal operating power for the system.
• Up to 3.0 A of regulated, filtered alarm notification device

power available, compatible with any listed 24 VDC notifica-

tion appliance or any 24 VDC listed release solenoid.

• Recharges standby batteries up to 55 AH in size.
• Dual-rate charge capability.
• Regulated and filtered four-wire detector power available

(depending on the system configuration).

• Trouble LEDs for AC Power Fail, Battery, and Ground Fault

conditions.

• Circuit breaker and automatically-resetting PTC resistors pro-

tect against current overload.

• Power-limited on all external output power.
• High-efficiency DC/DC converter for FACP in5 V

power.
