28 AFP-3030 Installation Manual — P/N DOC-01-031:F 19/11/2018Electrical Specifications Power Supply CalculationsRelay Output circuits are “Common” 30 V DC, 2 A (see Section 3.6 “Form-C Relays on the CPU”).A.6 Power Supply CalculationsCalculations must be done to determine standby and alarm DC current loads. Ampere-hour requirements must be calculated as well todetermine battery size.The NPS power supply provides filtered 24 V DC (nominal) power that may be used for operating external devices. The power for oper-ating external devices is limited. Use Table A.4 to determine if external loading is within the capabilities of the power supply.A.6.1 Calculating the System Current DrawsThe NPS must be able to power all devices in the panel in either the alarm condition or quiescent condition. The NPS must also be ableto provide enough current to charge the batteries when the panel is in the quiescent condition. Use column 1 in Table A.4 to calculate theQuiescent Load on the power supply. Use column 2 in Table A.4 to calculate the additional current needed during the fire alarm condi-tion.A.6.2 How to Use the Calculating TablesIn the following section:The term “secondary” refers to the system’s backup batteriesThe term “primary” is reserved for the NPS’s primary source of power, 240 V AC 50 HzThe term “standby” refers to the output current required when no fire alarm is present.The term “alarm” refers to the output current required when a fire alarm is present.The Primary Quiescent Current and Fire Alarm Current columns are DC current calculations. Use these calculations to confirm that theNPS can provide enough current to support the system during Primary Quiescent and Fire Alarm conditions.Circuit Type Circuit Function Wire Requirements Distance(feet/meters) Typical Wire TypeSLC(power limited)Connects to intelligentand addressablemodules.Twisted-unshielded pair, 12 to 18 AWG(3.25 to 0.75mm 2 ). 50 ohms, maximumper length of Closed (Style 6 & 7) loops.50 ohms per branch maximum for Open(Style 4) loops.3,810 m2,896 m1,829 m1,128 m12 AWG (3.31 mm 2 )14 AWG (2.08 mm 2 )16 AWG (1.31 mm 2 )18 AWG (0.82 mm 2 )or Twisted-shielded pair.NOTE:• Shields must be isolated from ground.• Shields should be broken at eachdevice.1524 m1,128 m12 to 16 AWG (3.31mm 2 to 1.31 mm2 )18 AWG (0.82 mm 2 )or Untwisted, unshielded wire, in conduit oroutside of conduit.NOTE: Maximum total capacitance for allSLC wiring (both between conductors andfrom any conductor to ground) should notexceed 0.5 microfarads1524 m1,128 m12 to 16 AWG (3.31mm 2 to 1.31 mm2 )18 AWG (0.82 mm 2 )EIA-485 ACSConnection(power limited)Connects to ACSdevices such asannunciators andUDACT/UDACT-2Twisted-shielded pair with a characteristicimpedance of 120 ohms. 18 AWG(0.75mm2 ) minimum.1829 m (max) 16 AWG (1.31mm 2 )EIA-485 RDPConnection(power limited)Connects to RDPdevicesTwisted-shielded pair with a characteristicimpedance of 120 ohms. 18 AWG(0.75mm2 ) minimum.1219 m (max) 16 AWG (1.31 mm 2 )EIA-232(power limited)Connects to Printersor PC.Twisted-shielded pair. 18 AWG (0.75mm2 )minimum.15.24 mwithout modem16 AWG (1.31 mm 2 )IDCInitiating DeviceCircuitFMM-1, FMM-101(power limited)12-18 AWGMaximum circuit resistance is 20 ohms.12 to 18 AWG(3.31 to 0.82 mm 2 )NACNotificationAppliance CircuitFCM-1 (powerlimited)12-18 AWG.
