FPP-RNAC-8A-4C | Operation and Installation Guide | 1.0 All outputs are synchronized if the conventional inputs are activating the FPP-RNAC-8A-4C. 1.0 Overview The FPP-RNAC-8A-4C is a Remote Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) Power Supply designed to add four additional NACs (NFPA 72 Class B, Style Y or Class A, Style Z) to a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). The FPP-RNAC-8A-4C is supervised by the control panel. It consists of the controller board, backup batteries, and enclosure.
FPP-RNAC-8A-4C | Operation and Installation Guide | . 1.8 Expander Supervision Auxiliary Power Supply 1.9 A watchdog supervises the operation of the FPP-RNAC-8A-4C processor and attempts to restart it if it fails. If the processor does not restart, or the power fails entirely, the installer-supplied EOL device disconnects from the input to report the trouble condition. If power is available, the System Trouble LED lights if the system encounters an error.
FPP-RNAC-8A-4C | Operation and Installation Guide | 2.0 2.1 Installing the FPP-RNAC-8A-4C FPP-RNAC-8A-4C Board Installation The FPP-RNAC-8A-4C board is staticsensitive. Touch ground before handling the board. Doing so discharges any static electricity in your body. 1. Connect the ground wire. 2. Insert the two support posts into the control retainer holes as shown in Figure 2 on page 7. 3. Slide the top of the board into the retainer tabs (the slots under the top of the frame).

FPP-RNAC-8A-4C | Operation and Installation Guide | 3.3 The FPP-RNAC-8A-4C can be placed anywhere on an FACP’s NAC circuit. Option Bus Connections The option bus (if used) runs to the terminals labeled Y, G, B, and R (refer to Figure 7). You can use the option bus connection with a Bosch Security Systems, Inc. FPA-1000 or FPD-7024 Fire Alarm Control/Communicator.
FPP-RNAC-8A-4C | Operation and Installation Guide | . 3.5 Trouble Relay Connections 3.6 The trouble relay provides one set of Form C contacts for connection of an appliance of choice. The relay can be wired in series with the auxiliary output to provide power to the appliance. The relay deactivates by the controlling section of the board to indicate a fault condition. Refer to Figure 9 for wiring details.
FPP-RNAC-8A-4C | Operation and Installation Guide | 3.7.2 Figure 11: Wiring the NAC outputs and EOL Auxiliary Circuits The FPP-RNAC-8A-4C can be configured to supply constant auxiliary power through its NAC outputs. 1 Reverse polarity connections of some notification appliances might not be detected by the FPP-RNAC-8A-4C NAC supervision. Ensure that the notification appliances are connected properly and tested before installation is completed.
