4.0  DIP Switch and Option 
Bus Settings 
Use DIP Switch S1 to set the following options: 
•  Output pattern or protocol 
•  NAC or power supply mode 
Use DIP Switch S2 to set: 
•  NAC input variable 
•  AC failure time delay 
•  Option bus address 
Refer to: 
• 
Figure 1 on page 5 for the location of the DIP 
switches on the FPP-RNAC-8A-4C board 
• 
Figure 12 on page 5 for the details of Switches S1 
and S2 
• 
Table 7on page 17 and Table 8 on page 18 for 
the DIP switch positions and settings. 
4.1 Switch S1 
Positions 0, 1, and 2 on Switch S1 control the bell 
output pattern or the synchronization (SYNC) 
protocol. 
Positions 3 through 6 on Switch S1 control the output 
mode. 
•  If the switch is OFF, the output is in NAC mode. 
•  If the switch is ON, the output is in power supply 
(POWER) mode. 
Each output can be configured individually to operate 
in the NAC or power supply mode. When the output is 
in the NAC mode, it follows either the option bus 
command or the DIP switch settings depending on 
the FPP-RNAC-8A-4C connection. 
In the power supply mode, the output is turned on all 
the time and is no longer supervised by an EOL. The 
commands from the option bus and pattern settings 
are ignored for any output configured in the power 
supply mode.

1  When operating in NAC mode (Switch S1, position 3, 4, 5, or 6-= OFF), the FPP-RNAC-8A-4C produces the protocol 
selected for the output. 
2  When operating in one of the SYNC protocols, NAC Input 1 controls strobes and Input 2 controls sounders. This 
protocol allows the sounders to silence while strobes continue to operate. When silenced, the output signal generates 
the silence pattern for that protocol. Switch S2, Position 1 is ignored.
