Product Overview
Used with Siemens − Fire Safety fire alarm control
panels (FACPs), the Distributed Power Supply PAD-4
Unit is a NAC expander with a built-in, auxiliary-
power output. Each PAD-4 unit distributes
additional power in buildings for audible and visual
indicators that conform to the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA). PAD-4 also has the following
features:
NACs
Signal-input circuits
Battery-charging circuit
Trouble relays for remote monitoring
Diagnostic light-emitting diodes (LEDs)
Alternating Current (AC) power connection
The Siemens NACs, which connect with alarm
signaling devices, have been designed to provide
the highest level of reliability and performance.
Signal coding on the circuits is accomplished
through integrated circuits (rather than relays),
which eliminates mechanical wear on the output
circuits.
The PAD-4 unit provides constant 24VDC output
voltage to each NAC
− independent of voltage
fluctuations on the primary or secondary power
source. As a result, a larger voltage drop and a
greater wire length for each NAC are supported by
each PAD-4.
Specifications
This version of the Siemens Distributed Power Supply
Unit can be configured in the following manner that
makes the outputs easily programmable:
‘STEADY’ outputs
Synchronized strobe outputs
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Temporal 3
ANSI Temporal 4 [for carbon monoxide (CO) alarm signal]
There are also two (2) inputs used to control the
activation of the four (4) outputs. Programming can
be set so one (1) input will silence the audible signal
on Siemens Models ‘AS’-series or ‘ZH’-series horn and
horn-strobes while the strobes remain active.
