AL1042ULADA NAC Power Extender Installation Guide (See Application Guide for additional information) Altronix Corp. 140 58th St. Brooklyn, NY Rev.
AL1042ULADA - NAC Power Extender Overview: The Altronix AL1042ULADA is an extremely cost effective 10 amp remote power supply/battery charger. It may be connected to any 12 or 24 volt Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). Primary applications include Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC such as strobes and horns) expansion support to meet ADA requirements. It also provides auxiliary power to support system accessories.
Power Supply Specifications: AC Input: Output: Battery: 120VAC 60Hz, 5 amp, supplied by a maximum 15 amp dedicated branch circuit. Four (4) regulated supervised NAC output circuits, 24VDC, 2.5 amp maximum current. One (1) aux. special application 24VDC power output circuit 1 amp, non-supervised total output current must not exceed current 10 amp in Alarm Condition. Use two (2) 12VDC / 12AH or two (2) 12VDC / 7AH batteries connected in series.
6. Connect FACP output to the desired AL842LGK logic board inputs, and notification appliances to the desired AL842LGK logic board outputs (see Application Guide). Note: The 2-wire horn/strobe sync mode will only synchronize horns, horn/strobes, strobes with synchronization capability. 7. For connection of smoke detectors, digital dialer see Optional Hookup Diagram, pg. 8.

Form “C” dry contacts indicate the loss of AC, with AC present terminals marked [NO and C] are AC FAIL open, [NC and C] are closed. When loss of AC occurs terminals marked [NO and C] are closed, NO, C, NC [NC and C] are open.
NEC Power-Limited Wiring Requirements for AL1042ULADA Models: Power-limited and non power-limited circuit wiring must remain separated in the cabinet. All power-limited circuit wiring must remain at least 0.25” away from any non power-limited circuit wiring. Furthermore, all power-limited circuit wiring and non power-limited circuit wiring must enter and exit the cabinet through different conduits. One such example of this is shown below.
Optional hookups: 1- Battery and AC monitoring: AC or Battery Fail condition will cause the common trouble input [C “FAULT” NC] to report back to the FACP via input 1 and input 2. The common trouble input may also be used for other optional supervisory monitoring. To report AC and Battery Trouble connect the battery and AC Fail relay output shown in Fig. 3a, pg. 8 to the common trouble input.
