1.3 Architecture
To meet the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requirements, power to the Signal booster is
provided via an uninterrupted power source. This can either be a UPS or (if a UPS is not available), an AC
Feeder and Battery Charger (purchased separately).
The booster and its power source (UPS or Battery Charger), each provide dry-contact alarms towards the
Fire Department Control Box. (The Battery Charger alarms are described in the dedicated manual. In case of
UPS, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions).
The booster supports the following alarms:
• Two dry-contact alarms
• One external alarm from the Battery Charger or UPS
Alarm connections to the Fire Department Control Box are used to monitor the status of the uninterrupted
power source, Signal Booster and DAS system (antennas). The Alarm conditions are described in section
6.4
and section
3.4.3.3.
NOTE: As an alternative to the Fire Department Control Box connections, the booster and UPS or Charger
dry contact alarms can be connected to an Automatic Dialer. The AD-2000 Automatic Voice/Pager Dialer
System is recommended.
